Price at the Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the aforementioned liquidated damages provision shall not apply to any indemnification or other post-closing provisions contained in this Agreement, and Buyers shall remain fully liable to Sellers for all indemnification or other post-closing provisions contained in this Agreement.

Immediately after the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline, One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) of the Earnest Money Deposit shall become non-refundable to Buyers (“Initial Non-Refundable Deposit Amount”), but shall be held by Title Company and shall be paid to Sellers if Buyer fails to proceed with this Agreement for any reason after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, unless such failure by Buyers arises out of a default by Sellers. Title Company shall pay the entire Earnest Money Deposit to Sellers if Buyers does not terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Entitlement Period pursuant to the terms of Section 8 and then Buyer subsequently fails to proceed with this Agreement for any reason after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, unless such failure by Buyers arises out of a default by Sellers. If the Closing does not occur because Sellers have committed a default under this Agreement, Title Company shall promptly release and return to Buyers the Earnest Money Deposit then held by Title Company. Any portion of the Earnest Money Deposit paid to Sellers pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to Sellers as fixed and liquidated damages, and in full satisfaction of all causes of action, claims and demands that Sellers might have against Buyers if the Closing does not occur, but excluding all causes, claims, costs and damages associated with obligations that are intended to survive the Closing hereunder. The Parties have mutually agreed upon such liquidated damages, not as a penalty but as a mutually agreeable amount to compensate Sellers for their damages and expenses, and to avoid for the Parties expensive and vexatious litigation.

Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, ONE HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($100.00) (the “Independent Consideration”) of the Earnest Money Deposit is given by Buyers and is hereby accepted by Sellers as adequate consideration for Sellers’ execution and delivery of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions granting Buyers the Due Diligence Period and Entitlement Period and the associated termination right provided in Section 5 below), and which Independent Consideration is in addition to and independent of any other consideration provided for in this Agreement and is earned and is nonrefundable in all events as of the Effective Date, but is applicable to the Purchase Price at Closing. The provisions of this Section 3 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

4.          CONDITION OF TITLE; SURVEY AND TITLE INSURANCE.

(a)        Sellers shall convey to each applicable Buyer good and marketable title to each applicable portion of the Property, including without limitation good and marketable record title to the fee estate in each portion of the Property owned by Sellers in fee simple, and a valid leasehold estate in the Rice Lease Parcel together with all rights, easements and other benefits related or appurtenant to the Property, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except matters not objected to by Buyers pursuant to Section 4(c) below, matters deemed exceptions under this Agreement, and such other liens or encumbrances as contemplated by this Agreement or as Buyers may otherwise approve in their sole discretion (collectively the “Permitted Title Exceptions”).

 

6


(b)        Prior to the Effective Date, Sellers have provided Buyers with access to existing boundary surveys for the Property (collectively, “Existing Survey”) via the Diligence Portal (defined below). Buyers shall have until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in which to obtain an update to the Existing Survey (collectively, the “Survey”) and to provide the Objection Notice defined and referenced in Section 4(c) below.

(c)        Within ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall, at the Parties’ shared cost and expense pursuant to Section 18 of this Agreement, obtain and provide Buyers with a copy of a preliminary title commitment (and complete legible copies of all documents or items referenced therein as exceptions) from First American Title Insurance Company (Attn: Jill A. P. Kauka), 1177 Kapi’olani Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96814; Phone: (808)  ###-###-####; Fax: 866 ###-###-####; email: ***@***, which company is licensed or authorized to do business in Hawaii (the “Title Company”), in respect of the Property (collectively the “Title Commitment”), for the issuance of an ALTA owners policy of title insurance in favor of Buyers for the full amount of the Purchase Price (the “Owner’s Title Policy”). Buyers shall deliver to Sellers, on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, a written approval of the Title Commitment or object in writing to any matters shown in the Title Commitment or the Survey (the “Approval Notice”). Buyers’ failure to timely deliver the Approval Notice shall be deemed to constitute Buyers’ election to terminate the Agreement and to receive a return of the Earnest Money. In the event Buyers timely provide the Approval Notice, Buyers shall be deed to have approved of any and all matters then shown in the Title Commitment and Survey that are not objected to by Buyer in the Approval Notice and the same shall be included in the Permitted Title Exceptions; provided, however, that any mortgage lien or tax lien that encumbers all or any part of the Property, but not including any liens for non-delinquent real estate taxes, association fees and other assessments to be prorated hereunder (collectively the “Monetary Liens”), shall be deemed to have been objected to by Buyers. If Buyers timely object or are deemed to have objected to any item set forth in the Title Commitment or Survey, then Sellers shall have the right but not the obligation to cure some or all of the objections set forth in the Approval Notice. Sellers shall have thirty (30) days after notice of the aforementioned are received (the “Cure Date”) in which to notify Buyers in writing if Sellers elect to cure all or some of such objections. If Sellers timely cure or commit in writing to cure such objections, then the Title Commitment and Survey shall be deemed approved, and all other exceptions therein shall then become Permitted Title Exceptions excepting any Monetary Liens. If Sellers do not timely cure such objections (or commit in writing to cure such objections) prior to the Cure Date, then Buyers shall, on or before five (5) Business Days after the Cure Date, either (i) terminate this Agreement by depositing with Sellers and Title Company a written notice of termination, whereupon Title Company shall promptly release and return to Buyers the Earnest Money Deposit then held by Title Company, or (ii) waive their objection in writing to the disapproved items, which shall then become Permitted Title Exceptions. Buyers’ failure to timely deposit with Sellers and Title Company such a written notice of termination shall be deemed to constitute Buyers’ election to terminate this Agreement.

(d)        If Sellers fail to cure any disapproved item that Sellers committed to cure on or prior to Closing, Sellers shall have the right to postpone the Closing one or more times for up to sixty (60) days in the aggregate, in each case by providing written notice to Buyers no later than ten (10) Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date.

 

7


(e)        Buyers shall have ten (10) Days after receipt of any updates to the Title Commitment (including receipt of any documents referenced in such update) to object in writing to any matters disclosed therein which were not disclosed in the original Title Commitment, and the procedure for objecting to such matters shall be as set forth in Section 4(c) above. In addition, the Closing Date shall be extended as provided in Section 4(c) to accommodate this process.

(f)        If this Agreement is terminated by Buyers pursuant to this Section 4, the Earnest Money Deposit held by Title Company shall be promptly returned to Buyers, and such return shall be Buyers’ sole remedy unless Buyers’ termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4 was the result of a default of Seller’s express obligations hereunder, in which event Buyers may elect to pursue any other remedies for Sellers’ default provided for in this Agreement. At the Closing, Sellers shall cause the Land and the Improvements to be conveyed to Buyers subject only to the Permitted Title Exceptions.

5.          DUE DILIGENCE.

(a)        Prior to the Effective Date, Sellers have provided to Buyers and their agents and representatives electronic access to the web portal (the “Diligence Portal”) that contains documents and other information in the possession or control of Sellers that pertain to the Property and are relative to the ownership and/or operation of the same, excluding all documents and information that Seller deems confidential or privileged (all such documents and other information and materials made available by Sellers to Buyers being collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Property Documents”). Buyers shall have ninety (90) days commencing on the Effective Date to inspect and review the Property and the Property Documents to determine the suitability of the Property for Buyers’ intended use (hereinbefore and hereinafter the “Due Diligence Period”). Buyers agree to keep the Property Documents confidential in accordance with the confidentiality provisions in Section 19 of this Agreement.

(b)        To the extent that Buyers desire any evidence of title, survey or environmental report with respect to any part of the Property in addition to the title insurance commitments and policies, surveys and environmental materials that may be included in the Property Documents, Buyers will obtain and review the same at Buyers’ expense. Within two (2) Business Days after Buyer’s receipt, Buyers shall provide Sellers with a copy of any and all third party reports, documents and investigations relating to the Property and obtained by Buyers in connection with Buyers’ due diligence on the Property excluding all privileged materials and communications and/or internal communications of Buyer or of Buyer’s affiliated companies.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the terms and limitation of Section 5, Buyers may, at their sole option and expense, select and retain an environmental consultant to perform an environmental assessment of the Land (consisting of a Phase One assessment and any further assessment or testing that may be recommended by the environmental consultant, and may include soil and ground water analyses at Buyer’s option), and the preparation of a report summarizing the results of such assessment (the “Environmental Report”). The scope and form of the Environmental Report, if any, shall be determined by Buyers in their sole discretion and Buyers shall pay the cost of any such Environmental Report. Buyers shall have until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to notify Sellers in writing if

 

8


the Environmental Report concludes that Hazardous Substances exist on the Property at levels in violation of applicable Environmental Laws and reasonably unacceptable to Buyers (the “Environmental Notice”), which Environmental Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the Environmental Report. Buyers’ failure to obtain an Environmental Report and deliver the Environmental Notice prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed to constitute Buyers’ approval of the Environmental Report and environmental condition of the Property. If Buyers timely deliver the Environmental Notice, then Sellers shall have the right but not the obligation to remediate the issues set forth in the Environmental Notice. Sellers shall have twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of the Environmental Notice in which to notify Buyers in writing that Seller elects to remediate all or some of the issues set forth in the Environmental Notice and to obtain a no further action letter in connection therewith (the “Environmental Response”). If Sellers fail to provide the Environmental Response, then Sellers shall be deemed to have responded electing not to remediate any portion of the Property. If Sellers elect to remediate some or all of the issues set forth in the Environmental Notice, then the Closing Date will automatically be extended for the length of time required to effectuate such remediation and to obtain a no further action letter in connection therewith; provided, however, that Buyers may nevertheless terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit then in Title Company’s possession if Seller fails to complete the remediation and to obtain the no further action letter within one hundred eighty (180) days after Buyers’ receipt of the Environmental Response (the “Remediation Deadline”). If Sellers do not commit to remediate the Property in the Environmental Response, then Buyers may, within two (2) Business Days after Buyers’ receipt (or deemed receipt) of the Environmental Response, either (i) terminate this Agreement by depositing with Sellers and Title Company a written notice of termination, whereupon Title Company shall promptly release and return the Earnest Money Deposit in Title Company’s possession to Buyers, or (ii) waive the Environmental Notice and proceed with this Agreement subject to all matters set forth in the Environmental Report. Buyers’ failure to timely deposit with Sellers and Title Company such a written notice of termination shall be deemed to constitute Buyers’ election to waive the Environmental Notice and proceed with this Agreement.

(c)        In connection with any on-site inspections and studies (i) Buyers shall have the right, at Buyers’ sole risk, responsibility, cost and expense, to enter upon the Property with at least twenty-four (24) hours written advance notice to Sellers for the purpose of conducting such inspections and studies; (ii) Buyers and their agents, contractors and consultants must be accompanied by an employee, agent or representative of Sellers; (iii) such inspections and studies will be conducted on a Business Day between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm (local time); (iv) Buyers and their agents, contractors and consultants shall not perform any drilling, coring or other invasive testing without Sellers’ prior written consent, in its sole and absolute discretion; (v) Buyers’ right to perform the inspections and studies shall be subject to the rights of tenants, guests and customers of Sellers at the Property; and (vi) the inspections and studies shall not unreasonably interfere with the business being conducted by Sellers, and Buyers and their agents, contractors and consultants shall comply with Sellers’ reasonable requests with respect to the inspections and studies to minimize such interference.

(d)        Prior to conducting any on-site inspection of the Property, Buyer or Buyer’s affiliate (in the case Buyer’s affiliates, the insurer shall name Buyers and Sellers as “additional insureds”) shall obtain, at Buyers’ expense, from insurers reasonably acceptable to Sellers:

 

9


(i)        Commercial general liability insurance, including contractual liability, and personal injury liability coverage, listing Sellers and their management companies as additional insureds as their interests may appear, which insurance policy must have a limit for bodily injury, personal injury and death and property damage liability of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for any one occurrence and not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) annual aggregate.

(ii)        Auto liability insurance including all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles used in conjunction with the on-site inspection of the Property, for bodily injury and property damage with a combined single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each occurrence. Such insurance shall also name Sellers and their management companies as additional insureds as their interests may appear.

Prior to making any entry upon the Property, Buyers shall furnish to Sellers a certificate of insurance evidencing the foregoing coverages.

(e)        Buyers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers, and their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, representatives and agents from any actions, suits, liens, claims, damages, expenses, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, the “Claims”) arising from or related to Buyers’ or their agents or contractors entry upon the Property or any inspections and studies related thereto, which indemnity shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement. After any such entry, Buyers shall promptly restore the Property to its prior condition, if its condition was materially changed by such entry.

(f)        Prior to the Closing, all inspections and studies by Buyers at the Property shall be arranged through Donald Baarman. Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyers shall not interview any Property personnel outside the presence of a representative of Sellers without Sellers’ prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. During the thirty (30) days prior to the Closing and provided that this Agreement has not been terminated by either Sellers or Buyers in accordance herewith, Buyers shall have the right to interview any such Property personnel not being retained by Sellers for possible employment outside of the presence of a representative of Sellers on reasonable notice to Sellers, such notice to include a description of any subject matter areas to be discussed with each employee. Buyers agree that any statements made by Property personnel not being retained by Sellers shall not constitute statements of Sellers for any purpose and shall not be admissible against Sellers in any judicial or other proceeding.

(g)        If Buyers do not acquire the Property for any reason whatsoever, Buyers shall deliver to Sellers, promptly upon written demand therefore by Sellers and at no cost to Sellers, all materials and information generated by or on behalf of Buyers in connection with the Property (excluding all privileged materials and communications and/or internal communications of Buyer or of Buyer’s affiliated companies) and Property Documents previously obtained by Buyer from Sellers (with no retention by Buyers of copies of any such materials and documents).

(h)        Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyers shall notify Sellers and Title Company in writing regarding whether Buyers have decided, in their sole and absolute

 

10


discretion, to proceed with the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement or to terminate this Agreement (the “Due Diligence Notice”). Buyers’ failure to timely deliver the Due Diligence Notice shall be deemed to constitute Buyers’ election to terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated by Buyers pursuant to this Section, the Earnest Money Deposit held by Title Company shall be promptly returned to Buyers, and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder except those obligations expressly intended to survive such termination.

6.          RETENTION OF RIGHTS BY SELLERS OVER CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE PROPERTY

Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Sellers and Buyers shall recalculate such prorations and any amount payable by Sellers or Buyers shall be paid to the other Party within fifteen (15) days after such recalculation.

This Section 15 will survive the Closing and the delivery of any instruments of conveyance to Buyers.

With respect to any analyses, compilations, studies or other material prepared by Buyers or its Qualified Persons (as defined below) containing or based in whole or in part upon such information furnished to Buyers or its Qualified Persons by Sellers, Confidential Information includes the portion of the analyses, compilations, studies or other material that contains such information.

Buyers shall protect and safeguard the Confidential Information against unauthorized use, publication or disclosure, and in furtherance thereof, shall not (i) use, directly or indirectly, any of the Confidential Information for any purpose other than their evaluation of the Property and the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement, and as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, or (ii) disclose, publish or reveal the Confidential Information to any person other than a Qualified Person as described in subsection (f) of this Section 19.

If Buyers or any Qualified Person has been requested or is required (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Buyers will notify Sellers (as soon as reasonably practical) of such request so that Sellers may seek an appropriate protective order.

Except for the limited express warranties that are set forth in Section 20(z) above, Buyers understand that they are buying the Land and leasehold estate in the Rice Parcel “as is” with respect to all environmental matters, and agree that they will satisfy themselves prior to the Closing as to all other environmental matters, including (i) the presence of any Hazardous Substances or other hazardous materials or other pollutants and (ii) compliance with all federal, state and local Environmental Laws.

References to “Sellers’ knowledge” or “Sellers’ actual knowledge” or “Seller has no knowledge” or any similar phrase implying a limitation on the basis of knowledge shall mean the actual, present, conscious knowledge of Donald Baarman and Tim Tansey, who are the persons most knowledgeable about the Property (the “Seller Knowledge Individuals”) on the Effective Date without any investigation or inquiry (provided that Sellers hereby confirm that the Seller Knowledge Individuals have read the representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in

Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller Knowledge Individuals have not performed and are not obligated to perform any investigation or review any files or other information in the possession of Sellers, or to make any inquiry of any persons, or to take any other actions in connection with the representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in this Agreement. Neither the actual, present, conscious knowledge of any other individual or entity, nor the constructive knowledge of the Seller Knowledge Individuals or of any other individual or entity, shall be imputed to the Seller Knowledge Individuals.

If any of the foregoing representations of Sellers in this Section 20 become materially inaccurate at any time after the Effective Date and before the Closing, Sellers shall promptly provide written notice to Buyers thereof. If any representation made in this Section 20 is materially inaccurate and Buyers are notified of such inaccuracy by Sellers or if such inaccuracy is discovered by Buyers before the Closing, and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the contemplated use and development of the Land, Buyers shall have the option of terminating this Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to Sellers within ten (10) Business Days after Buyers receive written notice of the inaccuracy. Immediately upon such termination, both Parties shall be released from all further liability under this Agreement other than any indemnifications that are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement and Title Company shall promptly release and return to Buyers the Earnest Money Deposit then held by Title Company. If Buyers close despite a material inaccuracy as described in this paragraph, Buyers shall be deemed to have waived such inaccurate representation.

(z)        Sellers hereby warrant and represent that the Service Contracts, Warranties, Licenses, Equipment Leases, Labor Agreements and Golf Play Agreements as of the Effective Date shall not be materially and adversely different than those in effect on the Closing Date, except as modified in accordance with Section 1(k).

Other than Colliers, Sellers and Buyers hereby warrant and represent to each other that no broker or agent is or will be owed a fee or commission with respect to the procurement or closing of this transaction as a result of the act or omission of the indemnifying Party or any affiliate thereof, and each agrees that it will indemnify, defend and hold the other and its affiliates harmless from and against all causes of action, claims and demands for such a fee or commission arising out of the act or omission of the indemnifying Party or any affiliate thereof.

25.        DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF THE PROPERTY.    Sellers shall bear all risks for damage to or injury occurring to the Property by fire, storm, accident, or any other casualty or cause (a “Casualty”) until the Closing.

(b)        If prior to the Closing such a Casualty shall occur and the cost to complete repairs of such Casualty shall be less than twenty percent (20%) of the portion of the Purchase Price hereunder allocated thereto with respect to each portion of the Property, as such cost is determined by the insurance adjuster assigned the review of the claim, then neither Party shall have the right to termination this Agreement, and in any such event, Sellers may, at its sole option, either (i) elect to repair the Casualty, in which event Buyers shall be obligated to timely close on all portions of the Property not impacted by the Casualty, and in which event the closing on the portion of the Property impacted by the Casualty shall be extended for a reasonable amount of time in which Sellers shall diligently proceed with such repairs, or (ii) provide Buyer with a credit for the cost of repairs or assign the insurance proceeds for such Casualty to Buyer, in which event the closing on the Property shall proceed as set forth in this Agreement. Sellers’ election in accordance with the prior sentence shall be made within thirty (30) days after the Casualty and shall be made in writing to Buyers.

26.        EMINENT DOMAIN.     If prior to the Closing any part of the Property is taken or threatened to be taken by any governmental authority under the power of eminent domain which taking shall result in a material and adverse effect on the remaining portion of the Property, Buyers shall have the option of terminating this Agreement by giving written notice of that termination to Sellers prior to the Closing and not later than ten (10) Business Days after Buyers receive notice from Sellers of the taking or threatened taking. If Buyers elect to proceed with this transaction, the purchase consideration payable by Buyers to Sellers pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement shall be reduced by the total awards or other proceeds received by Sellers at or prior to the Closing with respect to any such taking, and at the Closing Sellers shall assign to Buyers all rights of Sellers in and to all awards and other proceeds payable thereafter by reason of any taking relating to the Property. Otherwise, the risk of any condemnation or taking of any part of the Property under the power of eminent domain shall be on Sellers until the Closing.

27.        COOPERATION; NON-DISPARAGEMENT.         Buyers and Sellers will reasonably cooperate with each other in every way and will exercise good faith efforts in carrying out the transactions contemplated herein, in obtaining all required approvals, authorizations, and clearances, and in delivering all documents, instruments, or copies thereof or other information deemed reasonably necessary or useful by the other Parties. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, the execution and delivery before or after the Closing of such further instruments in writing that may be reasonably requested by a Party to evidence or complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Post closing cooperation among the Parties may include the execution of easements or other documents necessary to assure the Retained Property has adequate and reasonable access to utilities, public roadways, and other infrastructure reasonably necessary for the use, development and ownership of the Retained Property.

Sellers and Buyers further covenant to each other that neither they nor their affiliates will knowingly and intentionally disparage the other or their affiliates, or the acts or omissions thereof with respect to the Kauai Lagoons Resort. Buyers and Sellers, as the case may be, shall be responsible for any failure by any affiliate thereof to comply with the foregoing.

29.       ASSIGNMENT.   Except as set forth below, this Agreement may not be assigned by Buyers without the prior written consent of Sellers, which may be withheld in Sellers’ sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, either of the Buyers may assign this Agreement and all of such Buyer’s rights and obligations hereunder, without Sellers’ prior written consent, if such assignment is to a wholly owned subsidiary of such assigning Buyer; provided however, that said assignee agrees to assume this Agreement and all obligations of Buyers hereunder, whether arising before or after the assignment, pursuant to a written assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Sellers, which written assignment and assumption agreement must be fully executed and delivered to Sellers within a reasonable time prior to Closing in order to provide sufficient time for the finalization of documents in preparation for a timely closing. In the event of an assignment, the Buyers specifically named in this Agreement shall not be released from any of their obligations hereunder and shall remain jointly liable with all assignees for all Buyers’ obligations under this Agreement. The terms “Buyers” and “Sellers” as used in this Agreement shall include their respective permitted successors and assigns.

30.       REMEDIES REGARDING REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

(a)       If any Party (the “Notifying Party”) gives written notice to any other Party (the “Receiving Party”) prior to the Closing that any of representations and warranties of such Receiving Party set forth in this Agreement have been found to be untrue or incorrect in any material respect, as provided in the last paragraphs of Section 20 of this Agreement, and if the matter is susceptible to being cured or corrected so that the representation or warranty as given in this Agreement is then true and correct, Receiving Party shall make a diligent, good faith effort to cure or correct the same before the Closing, and the Closing shall be postponed until five (5) Business Days following Notifying Party’s receipt of proof satisfactory to Notifying Party that such matters have been cured or corrected, but in any event such postponement shall not be more than fifteen (15) days unless Notifying Party agrees to a further extension in Notifying Party’s sole discretion. If Receiving Party is unable or unwilling to cure or correct the same within fifteen (15) days after the scheduled Closing Date, or such longer period as Notifying Party may approve, Notifying Party shall have the option either to waive the same and close this transaction or to terminate this Agreement. In the event Notifying Party elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 30, Title Company shall promptly release and return the Earnest Money Deposit to Buyers and none of the Parties shall thereafter have any further rights or liabilities under this Agreement, except that (i) Receiving Party shall pay the expenses of escrow and (ii) those obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement to survive the Closing or the termination

 

43


of this Agreement shall survive such termination. In the event that Notifying Party elects to waive Receiving Party’s incorrect representations and warranties and close this transaction, such waiver shall be deemed to include any and all claims associated with the same, including any post-closing survivability or post-closing indemnity related to the same.

(b)        The representations and warranties of each of the Parties shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months, and each Party (each an “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend and hold the other Parties (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, cost or expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be incurred by or asserted against each Indemnified Party and which arise from a breach of the Indemnifying Party’s representation or warranty. To the extent each Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification or damages for a breach of any of the Indemnifying Party’s representations or warranties, each Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnification or damages only for those matters as to which each Indemnified Party has given written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the six (6) month period following the Closing.

(c)        Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section 30 to the contrary, (i) Sellers shall be obligated to indemnify and hold Buyers harmless with respect only to Claims caused by one or more breaches of Sellers’ warranties and representations which in the aggregate exceeds three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price (after which Sellers’ liability for valid claims shall begin from zero), (ii) Buyers shall have no right to file an action for rescission in connection with any breaches of Seller’s covenants, representations or warranties, and (iii) each of the Sellers’ liability to Buyers with respect to any and all breaches of such individual Seller’s covenants, representations or warranties shall not exceed the Purchase Price allocable to each such Seller, and Buyers hereby waive any damages, costs and expenses in excess of said limitation. In addition, in no event shall Sellers be liable for any incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive, special or exemplary damages, or for lost profits, unrealized expectations or other similar claim except those of third parties against which Sellers have indemnified Buyers. In the event that Buyers actually recover any insurance proceeds or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment from any insurance company, tenant, or other third party for damages against which Sellers indemnified and actually paid Buyers under this Agreement, then to the extent Buyers’ damages did not exceed the amount paid by Sellers to Buyers, Buyers shall promptly reimburse Sellers to the extent of any such double recovery. In the event that Buyers actually recover any insurance proceeds or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment from any insurance company, tenant, or other third party for damages against which Sellers indemnified and actually paid Buyers under this Agreement, then to the extent Buyers’ damages did not exceed the amount paid by Sellers to Buyers, Buyers shall promptly reimburse Sellers to the extent of any such double-recovery, less any reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of recovery incurred by Buyers.

(d) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN, BUYERS AND ANYONE CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER BUYERS HEREBY WAIVES THEIR RIGHT TO RECOVER FROM AND FULLY AND IRREVOCABLY RELEASES SELLERS, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, SERVANTS, ATTORNEYS, AFFILIATES, PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AND ALL PERSONS, FIRMS, CORPORATIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS ON THEIR

BEHALF (“RELEASED PARTIES”) FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THAT EACH HAS OR MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES FOR ANY COSTS, LOSS, LIABILITY, DAMAGE, EXPENSES, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY MATTERS AFFECTING THE TRANSFERRED PROPERTY, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE EXISTING DEBT DOCUMENTS, SIGNAGE RIGHTS, ENTITLEMENTS, ZONING, PARKING, TITLE DOCUMENTS OR DEFECTS, CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS, ANY AND ALL VIOLATIONS OF APPLICABLE LAW INCLUDING VIOLATIONS OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990 AND ALL ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS AND ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES, WHETHER NOW KNOWN OR UNKNOWN TO BUYERS. THIS RELEASE INCLUDES CLAIMS OF WHICH BUYERS ARE PRESENTLY UNAWARE OR WHICH BUYERS DO NOT PRESENTLY SUSPECT TO EXIST WHICH, IF KNOWN BY BUYERS, WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT BUYERS’ RELEASE TO SELLERS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BUYERS EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS CONFERRED UPON ANY OF THEM BY ANY STATUTE OR RULE OF LAW WHICH PROVIDES THAT A RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CLAIMANT DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN THEIR FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY ANY OF THEM MUST HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED THEIR SETTLEMENT WITH THE RELEASED PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PROVISIONS SIMILAR TO THE FOLLOWING: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN THEIR FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY ANY OF THEM MUST HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED THEIR SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

31.       REMEDIES UPON CERTAIN DEFAULTS.

(a)        Buyers’ Pre-Closing Default.     Due to the fluctuation in land values, the unpredictable state of the economy and of governmental regulations, the fluctuating money market for real estate loans of all types, and other factors which directly affect the value and marketability of the Property, the Parties recognize that it would be extremely difficult and impracticable, if not impossible, to ascertain with any degree of certainty the amount of damages which would be suffered by Sellers in the event of Buyers’ failure to perform their obligations under this Agreement. Accordingly, the Parties agree that a reasonable estimate of Sellers’ damages in such event is the amount of the Earnest Money Deposit, and in the event of Buyers’ failure to perform their obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property, so long as such failure is not caused by (i) the failure of any condition precedent to Buyers’ obligation under this Agreement to purchase the Property, (ii) a default by Sellers under this Agreement, or (iii) Buyers’ termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Sellers shall, as their sole remedy, after reasonable written notice to Buyers and opportunity for Buyers to cure such failure, be entitled to receive and retain such sum as liquidated damages. Upon the occurrence of an event entitling Sellers to retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages, Buyers hereby waive and release all rights to purchase the Property and upon demand from Sellers, Buyers agree to evidence such waiver and release in written form reasonably satisfactory to Sellers. Retention of such amount by Sellers shall constitute liquidated damages to Sellers.

(b)        Sellers’ Pre-Closing Default.     If Sellers fails to perform any of their obligations under this Agreement that arise on or prior to the Closing Date for any reason except the failure of any condition precedent to Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement, then Buyers shall have the right, after reasonable written notice to Sellers and opportunity for Sellers to cure such failure, to exercise any one of the following as their sole and exclusive remedy: (i) terminate this Agreement by giving Sellers written notice of such election prior to or at the Closing, whereupon Title Company shall promptly return the Earnest Money Deposit to Buyers, and Sellers shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice and supporting documentation from Buyers, reimburse Buyers for Buyers’ reasonable out of pocket actual and documented expenses or (ii) seek specific performance on the part of Sellers under the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation payment by Buyers of the full purchase price, only to the extent that Buyers can demonstrate that they had fully complied with all their obligations hereunder, including without limitation signing, acknowledging where necessary and depositing with Title Company all documents required for Closing and depositing with Escrow Holding all funds to be paid by Buyers at Closing. Buyers specifically disclaim any claims for monetary damages of any kind except as expressly set forth herein.

(c)        Litigation Costs.     If any litigation or other enforcement proceeding is commenced in connection with this Agreement, then the substantially prevailing Party shall be entitled to receive payment of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs from the other Parties.

 32.       NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.   Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to create or confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other

 

46


than the Parties and, subject to any restrictions on assignment that are contained herein, their respective successors and assigns.

33.       ENTIRE AGREEMENT.      This document constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous discussions, representations or agreements relating to the subject matter. No amendments, modifications or additions to this Agreement shall be made or be binding on any Party unless made in writing and signed by each Party. All Schedules that are attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.

34.       SEPARABILITY OF PROVISIONS.   If any part of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, unless the invalid or unenforceable provision results in a material adverse consequence to a Party, in which case this Agreement may be terminated by such affected Party.

35.       HEADINGS AND PRONOUNS.   The headings to the sections in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or restrict any provision hereof or be used to construe any of such provisions. Any pronoun used herein shall include all other numbers and genders, as the context or the number and gender of its antecedent may require.

36.       NO MERGER.      All warranties, representations, obligations, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged with any instruments delivered by and between Sellers and Buyers.

37.       PERSONS BOUND.   This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and bind the undersigned and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Effective Date of this Agreement set forth hereinabove shall be the date on which it was last accepted and executed by Buyers or Sellers.

38.       INTERPRETATION.   Each Party acknowledges that it has been represented and advised by legal counsel in the negotiation and legal effects of this Agreement and acknowledges that it has caused this Agreement to be reviewed and approved by legal counsel of its own choosing. No negotiations concerning or modifications made to prior drafts of this Agreement shall be construed in any manner to limit, reduce or impair the rights, remedies, duties and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, or to restrict or expand the meaning of any of the provisions of this Agreement, or to construe any of the provisions of this Agreement in any Party’s favor. No Party shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement and no term or provision of this Agreement may be construed against any Party on that basis.

39.       TIME IS OF ESSENCE; COMPUTATION OF PERIODS.     Time is of the essence as to every provision of this Agreement.

40.       GOVERNING LAW.   The interpretation, construction and enforcement of this Agreement, and all matters relating hereto, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii. Any judicial proceeding brought by any of the parties against any other party to this Agreement on any dispute arising out of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the Property or any matter related thereto shall be brought in Hawaii.

 

47


41.       ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

(a)        The Parties agree for themselves and each of their respective shareholders, trustees, beneficiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents, that any controversies, disputes, or claims between the Parties arising from or relating to this Agreement (individually, a “Dispute”, and collectively, the “Disputes”) may, upon the agreement of the Parties that are involved in the Dispute, be resolved in accordance with this Section 41.

(b)        If any Party gives notice to the other Parties of the existence of a Dispute, then, commencing within five (5) days after the date of such notice, the Parties shall, through their senior business representatives and (if they so desire) counsel, negotiate in good faith for a period of at least twenty (20) days in an effort to resolve the Dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within such twenty (20) day period, then the Parties shall submit the Dispute to mediation with a licensed mediator that has significant experience in mediating matters similar to the Dispute and who is approved by both Parties in their reasonable discretion, the costs of such mediation to be shared equally by the Parties. If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the matter is submitted to mediation, then the Dispute shall be subjected to final and binding arbitration through Dispute Prevention and Resolution, Inc. of Honolulu. The arbitration proceedings shall be held in Honolulu, Hawaii. The arbitration shall be governed exclusively by the United States Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Sections 1 et seq.) or any successor law, without reference to any state arbitration statutes.

(c)        The arbitration proceedings will be conducted by one (1) arbitrator and, except as this Section otherwise provides, according to the American Arbitration Association’s (the “AAA”) then current commercial arbitration rules, and the arbitration shall be sponsored by the AAA. The arbitrator selected shall be a third-party individual: (a) having not less than ten years’ experience in the real estate industry or at least twenty years’ consulting experience with a solid reputation in the real estate industry; (b) not having had any direct or indirect relationship with any Party or its affiliates during the preceding five (5) year period, except to the extent disclosed and accepted by the other Parties; and (c) having demonstrated knowledge of the market where the Property is located. The arbitrator has the right to award any relief that he or she deems proper, including money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the date due), specific performance, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs, provided that the arbitrator may not declare any trademark generic or otherwise invalid or award any punitive, exemplary, or treble or other forms of multiple damages against any Party. The award of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon all Parties to the Dispute and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)        The Parties agree that arbitration will be conducted on an individual, not a class wide, basis; that only the Parties (and their affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, agents, and employees, as applicable) may be the parties to any arbitration proceedings described in this Section; and that an arbitration proceeding between the Parties (and their affiliates and its and their respective owners, officers, directors, agents, and employees) under this Agreement may not be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding between the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Section, if any court or arbitrator determines that all or any part of the preceding sentence is unenforceable with respect to a dispute that otherwise is subjected to arbitration under this Section, then all Parties agree that

 

48


this arbitration clause shall not apply to that Dispute and that such Dispute shall be resolved in a judicial proceeding.

(e)       THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO AWARD ANY PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR TO VARY OR IGNORE THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND SHALL BE BOUND BY CONTROLLING LAW. THE ARBITRATOR’S FAILURE TO APPLY CONTROLLING LAW OR ENTRY OF A DECISION THAT IS NOT BASED ON SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD SHALL BE GROUNDS FOR MODIFYING OR VACATING AN ARBITRATION DECISION.

(f)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 41, the Parties shall have the right to commence litigation or other legal proceedings without seeking alternative dispute resolution with respect to any claims (a) relating to trademarks, (b) relating to emergency or injunctive relief, or (c) relating to the enforcement of the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) a Party shall have the right to seek to obtain injunctive relief without bond, but upon notice required under applicable legal requirements (an “Enjoining Party”); and (ii) such injunctive relief shall be in addition to such further and other relief as may be available to an Enjoining Party or its affiliates at law or in equity.

42.       COUNTERPART AND FACSIMILE SIGNATURES.   This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The submission of a signature page transmitted by facsimile (or similar electronic transmission facility) shall be considered as an “original” signature page for purposes of this Agreement.

43.       WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.   Sellers and Buyers each hereby waive their right to a trial by jury in any litigation or other court proceeding with respect to any matter arising from or in connection with this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 43 shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

44.       COMPUTATION OF TIME PERIODS.   The time in which any act under this Agreement is to be done shall be computed by excluding the first day and including the last day, until 4:00 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. If the last day of any time period stated herein shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then the duration of such time period shall be extended so that it shall end on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, at 4:00 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. Unless preceded by the word “business,” the word “day” shall mean a calendar day. The phrase “Business Day” or “Business Days” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or state or federal holiday in either Honolulu, Hawaii or Orlando, Florida.

45.       BOARD APPROVALS REQUIRED.   Buyers acknowledge that this Agreement remains subject to the review and approval of the Board of Directors for the publically traded parent corporation of the Sellers (collectively the “Board”). Sellers shall endeavor to obtain such approval on or before June 10, 2014 (the “Board Approval Deadline”), and shall promptly notify Buyers of such approval. However, in the event this Agreement is disapproved by the

 

49


Board or Sellers fail to obtain such approval on or before the Board Approval Deadline, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and have no further force or effect, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyers, and the Parties shall have no further obligations under this Agreement.

46.       FUTURE COOPERATION.   The Parties acknowledge that Sellers’ and Buyers’ development and operation of their respective properties post Closing may result in the need for the granting of additional easements or other rights over each other’s property, cooperation in the operation and care for their respective properties, and transition of numerous operational aspects of the Resort between the Parties. To that end, the Parties hereby agree to reasonably cooperate in good faith with each other’s commercially reasonable requests for such easements or other rights, cooperation and accommodations, at no charge.

1.0 PARTIES

This Implementing Agreement is made by and between Kaua‘i Lagoons LLC (KL), the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR).

These entities may be referred to as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.” The USFWS and DLNR may be referred to collectively as the “Wildlife Agencies” and individually as a “Wildlife Agency,” and KL may be referred to as the “Permittee.”

 

2.0 RECITALS AND PURPOSES

2.1       Recitals.           The Parties have entered into this Agreement in consideration of the following facts:

(a)        The Kaua‘i Lagoons Resort (Resort) in Līhu‘e, Kaua‘i, built in the 1980’s, encompasses approximately 600 acres, and was originally developed with two 18-hole championship golf courses, a golf and racquet club facility, a network of man- made navigable lagoons, a restaurant, commercial development, and associated parking areas.

(b)        The Resort lagoons and golf courses have been colonized by several bird species which are listed as threatened or endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), including the Hawaiian Goose or Nēnē (Branta sandvicensis) (hereafter referred to as Nēnē), the Hawaiian endemic sub-species of the Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni) (hereafter referred to as Hawaiian Stilt), Hawaiian Coot (Fulica alai), the Hawaiian endemic sub-species of the Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis) (hereafter referred to as Hawaiian Moorhen), and the Hawaiian Duck (Anas wyvilliana). The island of Kaua‘i also provides habitat for two seabird species which are listed under the ESA [Hawaiian Petrel (Pterodroma sandwichensis) and the Newell’s Shearwater (Puffinus auricularis newelli)], and one seabird species which is a Candidate for listing under the ESA [Band-rumped Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma castro)]. These three seabird species may fly over the Resort when they transit between their inland breeding colonies and the sea.

(c)        All eight bird species identified above are listed as threatened or endangered pursuant to Hawai‘i Revised Statutes (HRS) Chapter 195D;

(d)        Further development within the Resort, and operation of the Resort, could result in the incidental take of these eight bird species. KL has developed a series of measures, described in the Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), that will minimize and mitigate to the maximum extent practicable the effects of Take of these Covered Species incidental to KL’s Covered Activities, and that will also increase the likelihood that the Covered Species will survive and recover, and provide a net environmental benefit.

2.2        Purpose.  The purpose of this Agreement is to clarify the provisions of the HCP and the processes the Parties intend to follow to ensure the successful implementation of the HCP in accordance with the Permits and applicable Federal and State law.

3.0 DEFINITIONS

The following terms as used in this Agreement will have the meanings set forth below:

3.1     Terms defined in Endangered Species Act and HRS Chapter 195D. Terms used in this Agreement and specifically defined in the Endangered Species Act (ESA) or HRS Chapter 195D, or in regulations adopted by the Wildlife Agencies under the ESA or HRS Chapter 195D, have the same meaning as in the ESA or HRS Chapter 195D and those implementing regulations, unless this Agreement expressly provides otherwise.

3.2     “Adaptive Management” means a flexible approach to the long-term management of fish, wildlife and habitat resources of the project area that is directed over time by the results of ongoing monitoring activities and other information.

3.3     “Agreement” means this Implementing Agreement, which incorporates the HCP and Permits by reference.

3.4     “Changed Circumstances” means changes in circumstances affecting a Covered Species or the geographic area covered by the HCP that can reasonably be anticipated by the Parties and that can reasonably be planned for in the HCP (e.g. the listing of a new species, or a fire or other natural catastrophic event in areas prone to such event.) Changed Circumstances and the planned responses to those circumstances are described in section 7.4.2 of the HCP. Changed Circumstances are not Unforeseen Circumstances.

3.5     “Covered Activities” means certain activities carried out by KL that may result in incidental Take of Covered Species, and consists of Resort construction and operation activities as described in Chapter 2 of the HCP.

3.6     “Covered Species” means the following eight species, each of which the HCP addresses in a manner sufficient to meet all of the criteria for the USFWS to issue an Incidental Take Permit under ESA § 10(a)(1)(B) and for DLNR to issue an Incidental Take License under HRS Chapter 195D: Hawaiian Goose or Nēnē (Branta sandvicensis) (hereafter referred to as Nēnē), the Hawaiian endemic sub-species of the Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni) (hereafter referred to as Hawaiian Stilt), Hawaiian Coot (Fulica alai), the Hawaiian endemic sub-species of the Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis) (hereafter referred to as Hawaiian Moorhen), the Hawaiian Duck (Anas wyvilliana), Hawaiian Petrel (Pterodroma sandwichensis), Newell’s Shearwater (Puffinus auricularis newelli), and Band-rumped Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma castro).

3.7     “HCP” means the Habitat Conservation Plan prepared by Kaua‘i Lagoons LLC.

3.8     “Listed Species” means a species (including a subspecies, or a distinct population segment of a vertebrate species) that is listed as endangered or threatened under the ESA and/or HRS Chapter 195D.

 

6


3.9        “Permit” or “Permits” means the Incidental Take Permit issued by the USFWS to KL pursuant to Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA, and the Incidental Take License issued by DLNR to KL pursuant to HRS Chapter 195D, for Take incidental to Covered Activities, as such Permits may be amended from time to time.

3.10      “Permittee” means Kaua‘i Lagoons LLC.

3.11      “Take” means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect any listed or unlisted Covered Species. Harm means an act that actually kills or injures a member of a Covered Species, including an act that causes significant habitat modification or degradation where it actually kills or injures a member of a Covered Species by significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding or sheltering.

3.12      “Unforeseen Circumstances” means changes in circumstances affecting a Covered Species or geographic area covered by the HCP that could not reasonably have been anticipated by plan developers and the Wildlife Agencies at the time of the HCP’s negotiation and development, and that result in a substantial and adverse change in the status of the Covered Species.

3.13      “Unlisted Species” means a species (including a subspecies, or a distinct population segment of a vertebrate species) that is not listed as endangered or threatened under the ESA or HRS Chapter 195D.

 

4.0 OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

4.1         Obligations of Permittee.

4.1.1  Chapters 4 and 6 of the HCP describe the measures KL is obligated to implement in order to avoid, minimize, mitigate and monitor the effects of its Covered Activities on the Covered Species.

4.1.2  Upon issuance of the Permits, KL will fully and faithfully perform all obligations assigned to it under this Agreement, the Permits, and the HCP.

4.2         Obligations of the Wildlife Agencies.

4.2.1  Permit Issuance.  Upon approval of the HCP by the Wildlife Agencies and execution of this Agreement by all Parties, and satisfaction of all other applicable legal requirements, the USFWS will issue KL a Permit under Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA, and DLNR will issue KL a Permit under HRS Chapter 195D, authorizing incidental Take by KL of each Covered Species resulting from Covered Activities.

4.2.2  Permit coverage.  The Permits will identify all Covered Species. The Permit issued by the USFWS will take effect for those Covered Species which are also Listed Species under the ESA (i.e., all of the Covered Species except for the Band-rumped Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma castro)) in accordance with the terms of the federal

 

7


Permit. Subject to compliance with all other terms of this Agreement, the Permit issued by the USFWS will take effect for a Covered Species which is an Unlisted Species (i.e., Band-rumped Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma castro)) upon the listing of that species as threatened or endangered under the ESA. The Permit issued by the DLNR will take effect for all of the Covered Species at the time the Permit is issued.

4.2.3   “No surprises” and “Incentives” assurances.  Provided that Permittee has complied with its obligations under the HCP, this Agreement, and the Permits, including any provisions for Changed Circumstances, adaptive management and any other contingency measures provided for in the HCP, the USFWS can require Permittee to provide mitigation beyond that provided for in the HCP only in accordance with the ESA “No Surprises” regulations at 50 C.F.R. §§ 17.22(b)(5) and 17.32(b)(5), and the DLNR can require Permittee to provide mitigation beyond that provided for in the HCP only in accordance with the HRS Chapter 195D “Incentives” provisions at HRS Section 195D-23.

4.3         Interim obligations upon a finding of Unforeseen Circumstances.  If either the USFWS or DLNR or both make a finding of Unforeseen Circumstances, during the period necessary to determine the nature and location of additional or modified mitigation, KL will avoid contributing to appreciably reducing the likelihood of the survival and recovery of the affected species.

 

5.0 INCORPORATION OF HCP

The HCP and each of its provisions are intended to be, and by this reference are, incorporated herein. In the event of any direct contradiction between the terms of this Agreement and the HCP, the terms of this Agreement shall control. In all other cases, the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the HCP shall be interpreted to be complementary to each other. In the event of any contradiction between the terms of the HCP and the terms of either Permit, the terms of that Permit shall control with regard to the Permit.

 

6.0 TERM

6.1         Effective date and term.  This Agreement and the HCP shall become effective as between KL and DLNR on the date that DLNR issues the Permit under HRS Chapter 195D, and as between KL and USFWS on the date that USFWS issues the Permit under the ESA. This Agreement, the HCP, and the Permits will remain in effect for thirty (30) years from the issuance of the Permits, except as otherwise provided below.

6.2         Surrender of the Permits.  Permittee may surrender the Permits in accordance with any applicable statutes or regulations in force on the date of such surrender. (For example, the relevant USFWS regulations are currently codified at 50 C.F.R. § 13.26.) Notwithstanding surrender of the Permits, Permittee will be required to provide post-surrender mitigation for any take of Covered Species that the Wildlife Agencies determine will not have been fully mitigated under the HCP by the time of

 

8


surrender. Permittee’s obligations under the HCP and this Agreement will continue until the Wildlife Agencies notify Permittee that no post-surrender mitigation is required, or that all post-surrender mitigation required by the Wildlife Agencies is completed. The Permits shall be deemed canceled only upon a determination by the issuing Wildlife Agency that such outstanding mitigation obligations have been implemented. Upon surrender of the Permits, no additional take shall be allowed under the surrendered Permit except as necessary to carry out any outstanding mitigation obligations. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, the Wildlife Agencies may not require more mitigation than would have been provided if Permittee had carried out the full term of the HCP. If Permittee elects to surrender the Permits before expiration of the full term of the HCP, such surrender shall be in accordance with applicable regulations in force at the time of surrender. If such regulations do not specify the procedures for surrender, Permittee will provide notice to the Wildlife Agencies at least 120 days prior to the planned surrender. Such notice will include a status report detailing the nature and amount of take of all Covered Species, the mitigation provided for those species prior to surrender, and the status of Permittee’s compliance with all other terms of the HCP. Within 120 days after receiving a notice and status report meeting the requirements of this paragraph, the Wildlife Agencies will give notice to Permittee stating whether any post-surrender mitigation is required and, if so, the amount and terms of such mitigation, and the basis for the Wildlife Agencies’ conclusions. If the Wildlife Agencies determine that no post-surrender mitigation is required, all obligations assumed by the Parties under this Agreement will terminate upon issuance by the Wildlife Agencies of such notice. If Permittee disagrees with the Wildlife Agencies’ determination, the Parties may choose to use the dispute resolution procedures described in section 12.6 of this Agreement. Permittee will continue to carry out its obligations under the HCP until any such dispute is resolved. If the Parties are unable to agree, the Wildlife Agencies will have the final authority to determine whether Permittee is required to provide post-surrender mitigation.

 

7.0 FUNDING

7.1        KL warrants that it has, and will expend, the funds identified in Chapters 4 and 6 of the HCP as such funds may be necessary to fulfill its obligations under the HCP. KL commits to including a line item for complete HCP implementation into its annual operating budget for the life of the HCP. KL will promptly notify the Wildlife Agencies of any material change in KL’s financial ability to fulfill its obligations. In addition to providing any such notice, KL will provide the Wildlife Agencies with a copy of its annual report each year of the Permits, or with such other reasonably available financial information that the Parties agree will provide adequate evidence of KL’s ability to fulfill its obligations.

7.2        Kaua’i Lagoons will also post a bond in a form acceptable to the Wildlife Agencies to ensure that funding will be available to implement the HCP.

 

  (a)

The bond will name DLNR as the obligee. DLNR may make a claim to fund or otherwise pay for any mitigation obligations required by the HCP or the Permits which Kauai Lagoons failed to or is unable to implement. The circumstances under which DLNR may make a claim include, but are not limited to: Kaua’i Lagoons fails to fund or otherwise pay for the monitoring and mitigation

 

9


  measures when required under the HCP; or the Permit is suspended or terminated early through revocation or surrender and Kauai Lagoons fails to or is unable to implement any required mitigation measures. Whenever DLNR makes a valid claim under the bond, DLNR is entitled to payment of the full cost of implementing the outstanding mitigation obligations, as determined exclusively by DLNR after consultation with the Service, up to the full amount of the bond.

 

  (b)  The bond shall either: (i) continue in force for the term of the Permits; or (ii) take the form of a biennial bond which shall be renewed every two years with a continuation certificate mailed to DLNR with a copy to the Service at least six months prior to expiration of the bond. Failure to renew or obtain a replacement bond six months before the expiration date of the then-existing bond will constitute grounds for suspension or revocation of the Permits.

 

  (c) The bond will be in the amount of $153,677 dollars for each of the first 5 years of the Plan which reflects the estimated annual implementation cost as detailed in Section 6.4 of the HCP. Effective on January 1, 2017, and each five-year anniversary thereafter during the term of the Permits, the amount of the bond shall be adjusted for inflation using 2012 dollars as baseline. These are annual amounts and any claim made by DLNR does not diminish the amount that must be assured by the bond in subsequent years.

 

  (d) DLNR shall consult with FWS in determining whether to make a claim on the bond. Prior to making any claim on the bond, DLNR shall provide written notice to Kauai Lagoons of its alleged failure or inability to implement required obligations under the HCP, and a period of 30 days to demonstrate to DLNR’s satisfaction that a claim on the bond is not warranted, unless such 30-day period would extend beyond the term of the bond. In such cases, DLNR may proceed to make a claim on the bond and provide simultaneous notice to Kauai Lagoons.

 

8.0 MONITORING AND REPORTING

8.1        Planned periodic reports.  As described in the HCP, KL will submit periodic reports describing its activities and results of the monitoring program provided for in the HCP.

8.2        Other reports.  KL will provide, within 30 days of being requested by either or both of the Wildlife Agencies, any additional information in its possession or control related to implementation of the HCP that is requested by the Wildlife Agencies for the purpose of assessing whether the terms and conditions of the Permits and the HCP, including the HCP’s adaptive management plan, are being fully implemented.

8.3        Certification of reports.  All reports will include the following certification from a responsible KL official who supervised or directed preparation of the report:

I certify that, to the best of my knowledge, after appropriate inquiries of relevant persons involved in the preparation of this report, the information submitted is true, accurate, and complete.

 

10


8.4        Monitoring by Wildlife Agencies.  The USFWS may conduct inspections and monitoring in connection with the federal Permit in accordance with the ESA and its implementing regulations (see, e.g., 50 CFR §13.47), and DLNR may conduct inspections and monitoring in connection with the state Permit in accordance with HRS Chapter 195D and its implementing regulations.

 

9.0 CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES

9.1        Permittee-initiated response to Changed Circumstances.  Changed Circumstances identified and planned for in the HCP are specifically listed in section 6.3 of the HCP. KL will give notice to the Wildlife Agencies within seven (7) calendar days after learning that any of the Changed Circumstances has occurred. As soon as practicable thereafter, but no later than thirty (30) calendar days after learning of the Changed Circumstance, KL shall begin implementing the remedial conservation measures identified in section 6.3 for the specific Changed Circumstance to the extent necessary to mitigate the effects of the Changed Circumstance on Covered Species. KL will promptly report to the Wildlife Agencies on its actions, and KL will begin implementing the remedial conservation measures without awaiting notice from the Wildlife Agencies. Such changes are provided for in the HCP, and hence do not constitute Unforeseen Circumstances or require amendment of the Permits or HCP.

9.2        Wildlife Agency-initiated response to Changed Circumstances.  If a Wildlife Agency determines that a Changed Circumstance has occurred and that KL has not responded in accordance with section 6.3 of the HCP, the Wildlife Agency will so notify Permittee and direct Permittee to make the required changes. Within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving such notice, KL will make the required changes and report to the Wildlife Agencies on its actions. Such changes are provided for in the HCP, and hence do not constitute Unforeseen Circumstances or require amendment of the Permits or HCP.

9.3        Listing of species that are not Covered Species.  In the event that a non-Covered Species that may be affected by Covered Activities becomes listed under the ESA or HRS Chapter 195D during the term of this Agreement, the HCP and the Permits, KL will either refrain from conducting Covered Activities which will result in Take or jeopardy of the species or adverse modification of critical habitat, or implement the “no take/no jeopardy/no adverse modification” measures identified by the Wildlife Agencies until the Permits are amended to include such species, or until the Wildlife Agencies notify KL that such measures are no longer needed to avoid jeopardy to, Take of, or adverse modification of the critical habitat of, the non-Covered Species.

 

10.0 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT

10.1      Permittee-initiated adaptive management.  KL will implement the adaptive management provisions in Section 4.6 of the HCP when changes in management practices are necessary to achieve the HCP’s biological objectives or to respond to monitoring results or new scientific information. Permittee will make such changes without awaiting notice from the Wildlife Agencies, and will report to the Wildlife Agencies on any actions taken pursuant to this section.

 

11


10.2       Wildlife Agency-initiated adaptive management.  If the Wildlife Agencies determine that the adaptive management provisions in the HCP have been triggered and that Permittee has not changed its management practices in accordance with Section 4.6 of the HCP, the Wildlife Agencies will so notify KL and direct KL to make the required changes. Within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving such notice, KL will make the required changes and report to the Wildlife Agencies on its actions. Such changes are provided for in the HCP, and hence do not constitute Unforeseen Circumstances or require amendment of the Permits or HCP.

10.3       Reductions in mitigation.  KL will not implement adaptive management changes that may result in less mitigation than provided for Covered Species under the original terms of the HCP, unless the Wildlife Agencies first provide written approval. KL may propose any such adaptive management changes by notice to the Wildlife Agencies, specifying the adaptive management modifications proposed, the basis for them, including supporting data, and the anticipated effects on Covered Species, and other environmental impacts. Within 120 days of receiving such a notice, the Wildlife Agencies will either approve the proposed adaptive management changes, approve them as modified by the Wildlife Agencies, or notify KL that the proposed changes constitute permit amendments that must be reviewed under Section 11.0 of this Agreement.

10.4       No increase in Take.  This section does not authorize any modifications that would result in an increase in the amount and nature of Take, or increase the impacts of Take, of Covered Species beyond that analyzed under the original HCP and any amendments thereto. Any such modification must be reviewed as a permit amendment under Section 11.0 of this Agreement.

 

11.0 MODIFICATIONS AND AMENDMENTS

11.1       Minor amendments.

(a)        Minor Amendments are changes to the HCP provided for under the operating conservation program, including adaptive management changes and responses to Changed Circumstances. They also include revisions which do not significantly modify the scope or nature of activities or actions covered by the incidental take Permits in terms of their effect on the Covered Species. Any Party may propose minor amendments to the HCP or this Agreement by providing notice to all other Parties. Such notice shall include a statement of the reason for the proposed amendment and an analysis of its environmental effects, including its effects on operations under the HCP and on Covered Species. The other Parties shall each use their best efforts to respond in writing to the proposal within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of the request. The response shall either (1) concur with the proposed Amendment; (2) concur with the proposed Amendment with requested changes; (3) identify additional information necessary to enable evaluation of the proposed Amendment, or (4) disapprove the proposed Amendment, stating reasons for the disapproval. All Parties must agree in writing to any Minor Amendment, including the schedule for implementation, before implementation of such Amendment. Any proposed Minor Amendment which is disapproved by one of the Parties may be resubmitted as a proposed Major Amendment pursuant to Section 11.2 of this Agreement. The Wildlife

 

12


Agencies will not propose or approve a Minor Amendment if the Wildlife Agencies determine that such amendment would result in operations under the HCP that are significantly different from those analyzed in connection with the original HCP, adverse effects on the environment that are new or significantly different from those analyzed in connection with the original HCP, or additional Take not analyzed in connection with the original HCP.

(b)         Minor Amendments may include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1)        Correction of any maps or exhibits to correct errors in mapping or to reflect previously approved changes in the HCP and/or incidental take permits;

(2)        Modifying existing or establishing new measures to further minimize or avoid take of the Covered Species;

(3)        Modifying reporting protocols for Annual Reports;

(4)        Minor changes to monitoring or reporting protocols;

(5)        Minor changes to the amount of authorized take based on the results of monitoring;

(6)        The changes described in Section 4.4.3 of the HCP;

(7)        Revising Covered Species habitat enhancement and management techniques based on new information and/or analyses;

(8)        Any other modifications to the HCP that are consistent with the biological goals and objectives described in the HCP that will not result in operations under the HCP that are significantly different from those analyzed in connection with the HCP as approved, adverse impacts on the environment that are new or significantly different from those analyzed in connection with the HCP as approved, or take of Covered Species not analyzed in connection with the HCP as approved, including but not limited to the approval or execution of agreements to facilitate execution and implementation of the HCP, or actions by KL to delegate (while retaining full responsibility for compliance with) any of its duties under this HCP to a third party under its direct control.

11.2       Major Amendments.

(a)         Major Amendments may include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1)        Adding a new species to the list of Covered Species contained in the HCP and/or the incidental take permits;

(2)        Changes to the Covered Activities which were not addressed in the HCP as originally adopted, and which otherwise do not meet the criteria for a Minor Amendment as discussed above; and

(3)        Extending the term of the incidental take permits.

(b)         A Major Amendment requires submittal to the USFWS and DLNR of a written application and implementation of all permit processing procedures

 

13


applicable to an original incidental take Permit. The specific documentation required to comply with the ESA, HRS Chapter 195D, and the National Environmental Policy Act may vary based on the nature of the Amendment.

 

12.0  REMEDIES, ENFORCEMENT, AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

12.1     In general.  Except as set forth below, each Party shall have all remedies otherwise available to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the Permits, and the HCP.

12.2     No monetary damages.  No Party shall be liable for damages to any other Party or other person for any breach of this Agreement, any performance or failure to perform a mandatory or discretionary obligation imposed by this Agreement or any other cause of action arising from this Agreement.

12.3     Injunctive and temporary relief.  The Parties acknowledge that the Covered Species are unique and that their loss as species would result in irreparable damage to the environment, and that therefore injunctive and temporary relief may be appropriate to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

12.4     Enforcement authority of the United States and State of Hawai‘i.  Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to limit the authority of the United States or the State of Hawai‘i to seek civil or criminal penalties or otherwise fulfill its enforcement responsibilities under the ESA or HRS Chapter 195D or other applicable law.

12.5     Permit Suspension.  The USFWS may suspend or revoke the federal Permit, in whole or in part, in accordance with the ESA, associated implementing regulations, or other applicable laws and regulations in force at the time of such suspension. DLNR may suspend the state Permit, in whole or in part, to the extent allowed by HRS Chapter 195D, associated implementing regulations, or other applicable laws and regulations in force at the time of such suspension.

12.6     Informal dispute resolution process.  In the event of a dispute between the Parties regarding this Agreement, the Permits or the HCP, the disputing Party may notify the other Parties of the dispute in writing. The Parties will then confer within thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt of such notification, and the Parties will use their best efforts and good faith to promptly and cooperatively resolve the dispute within an additional thirty (30) calendar days. If at the end of that period the dispute has not been resolved, the dispute shall be elevated to the Executive Director of Kauai Lagoons, the Field Supervisor for the USFWS Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office, and the DLNR Chairperson, who shall personally meet and confer within the next thirty (30) calendar days and who shall exercise their best efforts and good faith to promptly and cooperatively resolve the dispute. If at any time a Party determines that circumstances so warrant, the Party may avail itself of any legal remedies otherwise available.

13.0 CONSULTATIONS WITH OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES
