It is further agreed that any consent given to any assignment, hypothecation, transfer of this Lease or parting of possession, or to any sublease of said Premises or a portion thereof, shall not be construed as a consent to any other further assignment, hypothecation, transfer, parting of

 

14



 

possession or subletting or as a waiver of Lessor’s right to object to any assignment, hypothecation, transfer parting of possession, or sublease to which Lessor’s consent in writing has not been obtained.  It is further agreed that Lessee will remain liable in the event of any assignment, mortgage or sublease for the payment of the rental hereunder and for the observance and performance of all the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained and on the part of Lessee to be observed and performed.  Any change in the present ownership or control of Lessee’s business, directly or indirectly, whether as a result of any sale of assets, transfer of stock, merger, consolidation or otherwise, shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning of this provision; provided however, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no sale of assets, transfer of stock, merger or consolidation by Guarantor shall constitute an assignment hereunder.

 

33.           Transfer of Control.  It is understood and agreed that Lessor must at all times be satisfied with the operator of the Premises from the standpoint of said operator’s experience, management ability and/or financial capacity, and that upon any merger or transfer of stock, directly or indirectly, involving a change in control of either of Lessee, Lessor shall have the right and option to terminate this Lease.

 

34.           Subordination.  Lessee hereby subordinates its rights hereunder to any encumbrances shown on Exhibit A and to the lien of any mortgage or mortgages now or hereafter arranged by Lessor, to any bank, insurance company or other lending institution, against the land and improvements of which the Premises are a part and/or upon any buildings now on or hereafter placed upon said land, for all loans or advances made or hereafter to be made upon said security, provided in every case the mortgagee or mortgagees named in said mortgage or mortgages shall agree in a written instrument acceptable to Lessee to recognize this Lease in the event of foreclosure by judicial proceedings or otherwise, if Lessee is not then in default beyond applicable cure periods.  Lessee hereby agrees to execute any instruments on a commercially reasonable form necessary or expedient to carry out the foregoing.

 

35.           Default and Remedies.  If Lessee shall fail to pay any amount which under the provisions of the Lease Lessee shall be obligated to pay, on or before the dates the same have become due and payable, no notice being required, demand made, or forfeiture declared, and such non-payment shall continue for ten (10) days, or fail in any other respect faithfully to observe or perform any condition or covenant in this Lease contained and on Lessee’s part to be observed and performed, including Lessee’s failure to achieve the Golf Course Standard set forth in paragraph 8.a above or to submit the annual operational plans described in paragraph 9.a above for Lessor’s approval, and any such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days following written notice from the Lessor to Lessee (or such longer time as is reasonably necessary so long as Lessee has commenced and is diligently prosecuting the cure); or if Lessee shall become insolvent or be adjudicated bankrupt; or shall make any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall seek protection under any bankruptcy laws; or permit a lien to attach to the premises; or abandon the Premises; or suffer this Lease or any estate or interest hereunder to be taken under any mesne process or any writ of execution; or any other judicial order,  and any such event is not dismissed and cured with sixty (60) days, then and in any such event:

 

a.             Right of Re-Entry; Termination.  The Lessor may at once enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof in the name of whole, and upon or without such entry at Lessor’s option terminate this Lease, without service of notice of legal process, and thereupon take possession of the Premises and all improvements thereon, and thereby become wholly vested with all right, title and interest of Lessee therein and may expel and remove from

 

15



 

said Premises Lessee and/or those claiming under it, and their effects, all without service of notice or resort to any legal process and without being deemed guilty of any trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby, and without prejudice to any other remedy or right of action which the Lessor may have for collection of arrears of rent for other or preceding breach of covenant by Lessee.  If this Lease or any short form thereof is recorded or filed of record in Hawaii, termination may be made effective by Lessor by mailing a written notice to Lessee or such termination and recording or filing an affidavit thereof.

 

b.             Summary Possession.  Whether or not Lessor shall have taken any action above permitted, Lessor may bring an action for summary possession in case of such default, and in any such action, service of prior notice or demand is hereby expressly waived.  Lessor may, at its option, assert its claim for unpaid rent in such action or may institute a separate action for the recovery of rent.

 

c.             Removal of Persons or Property.  In the event of such resumption of possession under this Lease, whether by summary proceedings or by any other means, Lessor, or any receiver appointed by a court having jurisdiction, may dispossess and remove all persons and property from the Premises, and any property so removed may be stored in any public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Lessee, and Lessor shall not be responsible for the care or safekeeping thereof, and Lessee hereby waives any and all loss, destruction, and/or damages or injury which may be occasioned in the exercise of any of the aforesaid acts.

 

d.             Damages, Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.  Lessor may recover from Lessee all damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs which may have been incurred by Lessor as a result of any default of Lessee hereunder, including the expense of recovering possession.

 

e.             Right to Re-let.  Should Lessor elect to reenter for Lessee’s default, as provided hereinabove, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may either terminate this Lease or it may, from time to time without terminating this Lease, and re-let said Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole discretion may deem advisable; upon each such re letting all rental received by Lessor from such re-letting shall be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such re-letting; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Lessor and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder.  If such rentals received from such re-letting during any month be less than that to be paid during that month by Lessee hereunder, Lessee shall pay any such deficiency to Lessor. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Termination may, but need not necessarily, be made effective by the giving of written notice to Lessee of intention to end the term of this Lease, specifying a day not earlier than three (3) days thereafter, and upon the giving of such notice, the term of this Lease and all right, title and interest of Lessee hereunder shall expire as fully and completely on the day so specified as if that day were the date herein specifically fixed for the expiration of the term.  No re-entry or taking possession of said Premises by Lessor shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Lessee or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding any such re-letting without termination, Lessor may at

 

16



 

any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous default.  Should Lessor at any time terminate this Lease for Lessee’s default, in addition to any other remedies it may have, Lessor may recover from Lessee all damages it may incur by reason of such default, including the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, delinquent rent and other charges due through the date of termination and the discounted present value (computed at 8%) at the time of such termination of the rent and charges reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Lessee to Lessor.

 

36.           Remedies Cumulative.  The various rights, options, elections and remedies of Lessor contained in the Lease shall be construed as cumulative and no one of them as exclusive of any of the other, or of any right or priority allowed by law.

 

37.           Waiver of Breach.  The waiver by the Lessor of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or of any other terms, covenant or condition herein contained; that the acceptance of rent by the Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, or of the remedies of Lessor herein (including the remedy of forfeiture of this Lease); that no term, covenant, condition or remedy herein shall be deemed to be waived by Lessor unless such waiver be in writing by Lessor.

 

38.           Attorneys Fees.  If either party hereto institutes any action or proceeding in court to enforce any provision hereof or for damages or other relief by reason of any alleged breach of any provision hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the losing party all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.  If any litigation or legal expense incurred by either party hereto in connection with any litigation commenced by or against the other party (other than condemnation proceedings) in which it shall without fault be made by a party, then it will be entitled to recover against the opposite party all of its costs including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

39.           Delinquent Payments.  If any payment or payments called for under this Lease is not paid on the date due, Lessor shall have the right, without waiving any breach or default by Lessee or any of its other rights herein, to demand and receive the unpaid sum together with the interest accrued thereon from the date of delinquency at the rate of one percent (1%) per month until paid.

 

40.           No Accord And Satisfaction.  No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of rents due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of rent be deemed and accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Lessor’s rights to recover the balance of such rent or other amount or pursue any other remedy in this Lease.  In the event that the rent or any other monies which are due hereunder by Lessee are delinquent, Lessor may, upon the receipt of any payments, apply them to any account or period it shall determine in its discretion.

 

41.           Damage to Premises.  If there is a partial “material” or total destruction of the Premises and Lessor, in its sole discretion, elects not to rebuild or repair the same, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such destruction upon written notice from Lessor to Lessee of Lessor’s determination not to rebuild or repair, such notice to be given within thirty (30) days of the date of such destruction.  In the event of such termination, Lessee shall

 

17



 

forthwith surrender the Premises and shall be relieved of all liability for any further rental and Lessor shall refund any unearned rent paid in advance by Lessee and shall be thereby released from any obligation or duty to Lessee.  Lessee hereby waives any and all claims for damage and shall not be entitled to any damages for any loss occasioned by any such injury to or destruction of said Premises or any of Lessee’s property.  As used herein, “material” partial destruction will mean destruction to a portion of the Premises which will, in the reasonable opinion of the parties, require 12 months or more to substantially complete the repair.

 

42.           Condemnation.  In the event the whole or any portion of the Premises shall be taken or condemned by any duly constituted authority or any condemnation suit is instituted, Lessee will peaceably surrender and deliver up to Lessor possession of the portion of the Premises so taken or condemned and Rent shall be appropriately abated.  In the event of a condemnation of a nonmaterial part of the Premises, such partial condemnation shall not annul or void this Lease.  In the event of a condemnation of such part or such form, shape or reduced area as to render the Premises not effectively usable for the purpose for which the property is demised, or in the event of a condemnation of all of said Premises, this Lease shall terminate as of the date when the condemning authority has become entitled to, and does take actual possession of the property condemned.  In the event of any condemnation, it is understood and agreed that the Lessor shall be entitled to, and shall receive and retain, any award made as compensation for or in respect of the land, buildings, improvements and fixtures actually taken and also any award for or in respect of damages sustained to the land or portion of the buildings or other improvements and fixtures not taken by reason of the severance there from of the land and/or portion of building actually taken.

 

43.           Surrender Upon Termination.  At the expiration of the term or any extension thereof or any sooner termination of this Lease, Lessee shall quietly quit and surrender the Premises to Lessor, without notice of any kind, notice being expressly waived, together with all improvements upon the Premises or belonging to Lessor, by whomsoever made, in good repair, order and condition, except for reasonable wear and tear.  Lessee’s obligation to observe and perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of Lessee’s rights hereunder.

 

44.           Holding Over of Premises.  If upon termination of the Lease as herein provided, Lessee withholds possession of the Premises from Lessor from and after the date of such termination, the Lessor shall be entitled to monthly rent equal to $125,000.00 per month plus the Hawaii general excise tax thereon and all other payments required to be made by Lessee under this Lease.  The provisions herein concerning Lessee’s liability in the event of wrongful withholding of the Premises from the Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach by Lessee of any covenant herein contained or of any of Lessor’s rights herein, and shall not prejudice any other remedy or right of action which the Lessor may have for collection of arrears of amounts payable by Lessee under this Lease or for other or preceding breach of covenant by Lessee.  Any holding over after the expiration of the said term, or any extension or renewal thereof, with the written consent of the Lessor, shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month only, and shall otherwise be on the same terms and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable.

 

45.           Lessor’s Right to Assign and Transfer Security.  Lessor may, without consent of Lessee, sell, assign, mortgage, transfer or hypothecate all of its right, title and interest in this Lease, in the improvements constructed on the property demised hereunder, or its interest in the property of which said Premises is a portion, to the extent of its right, title, and interest therein.  In the event Lessor proposes to sell, assign, mortgage, transfer or hypothecate

 

18



 

all or any portion of Lessor’s right, title or interest in this Lease and the prospective purchaser, assignee, mortgagee or other financial source requires verification of Lessee’s financial condition on the income and expense of Lessee’s obligations on the Premises, Lessee will furnish to Lessor, upon request, any and all financial statements or records reasonably necessary to verify such financial condition and income and expense.

 

46.           Lessor’s Failure to Perform.  Except with respect to Lessor’s obligation to reimburse costs of Approved Capital Improvements as set forth in Section 11, Lessor shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation required by it under this Lease unless and until it has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation; provided that if the nature of Lessor’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.  If Lessor fails to cure any such default within the time periods so specified, Lessee may perform them on Lessor’s behalf and deduct the cost therefore from Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder.

 

47.           Time of Essence.  Time and exact performance are of the essence of this Lease and all parts and paragraphs thereof.

 

48.           Force Majeure.  In the event that either party hereto shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of strikes, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, governmental action or inaction, riots, insurrection, war or other reason of a like nature not the fault of the party delayed in performing work or doing 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 such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay.  It is understood, however, that this provision shall not operate to excuse Lessee from the prompt payment of rents or any other payments required by the terms of the Lease.

 

49.           Notices.  Any notice from either party to the other shall be in writing and shall be given by delivering the same to such other party or by mailing the same by United States certified mail in an envelope with sufficient postage prepaid thereon addressed to such party at the addresses shown on page 1 of this Lease.  For the purpose of this paragraph, either party may change its address by notice to the other.

 

50.           Waiver of Jury Trial and Counterclaims.  Lessor and Lessee hereby waive trial by jury in any action or proceeding brought by either of the parties hereto against the other party on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of landlord and tenant, Lessee’s use or occupancy of the Premises, and/or any claim of injury or damage.  To facilitate the resolution of questions of possession, if Lessor commences any proceedings for summary possession, if for nonpayment of rent or for any other cause, Lessee will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceedings.  Lessee shall have the right to assert such claims in a separate action or actions brought by Lessee.

 

51.           All Agreements are Contained Herein; No Party Deemed Drafter.  This Lease contains all of the terms, covenants, conditions, stipulations, agreements and provisions agreed upon between the parties hereto in relation to the Premises and this Lease supersedes and cancels each and every other agreement, promise and/or negotiation between the parties with reference to the Premises.  Lessor and Lessee agree that neither party shall be deemed to

 

19



 

be the drafter of this Lease and in the event this Lease is ever construed by a court of law, such court shall not construe this Lease against either party as the drafter of this Lease.

 

52.           No Increase of Lessee’s Estate.  Lessee hereby waives and relinquishes any and all rights given to a lessee under Chapter 516 of the Hawaii Revised Statues (1968), as amended from time to time, or any similar law which may be enacted at any time during the term giving Lessor the right to expand Lessee’s leasehold estate under this Lease, which Lessee would not have under the terms of this Lease in the absence of such chapter or such law, it being understood and agreed by and between Lessor and Lessee that the provisions of such chapter or such law shall not apply to this Lease.  Any attempt by Lessee or any person claiming by or through Lessee to expand its estate under this Lease pursuant to such chapter or such law shall be a breach of this Lease.

 

53.           Recordation.  This Lease shall not be recorded by Lessor or Lessee.  At the request of either party, a short form memorandum of this Lease sufficient to give notice of the leasehold estate hereby created shall be recorded in the Bureau of Conveyances of the State of Hawaii.  Lessor shall prepare the short form memorandum of the Lease and Lessee shall execute and deliver the same to Lessor within seven (7) days of tender thereof by Lessor.

 

54.           Headings.  The paragraph headings are inserted merely for convenience and are not to be construed as part of this Lease or in any way affecting it.

 

55.           Severability.  If any provision of this Lease shall be found or held to be illegal, such illegality shall not affect the remainder of this Lease, which shall remain in full force and effect.

 

56.           Definitions.  Words in the singular or plural signify both the plural and singular; the use of any gender shall include all genders; and each of the terms “or” and “and” has the meaning of the other or both where the subject matters, sense and context require such construction.

 

57.           Matters Upon Lease Termination.

 

a.             Certain Prorations.

 

(i)            Lease Termination Prorations.  All real property taxes and utility charges for the Premises shall be prorated for periods prior to the Commencement Date and following the Termination Date based on the actual number of days in the respective billing periods when such dates occur and the actual number of days elapsed and the agreed allocations to the Premises as described in Section 5(a).  On the Termination Date, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor cash in the amount of all deposits received by Lessee for the use of the Premises for periods following the Termination Date.  Lessee shall reimburse Lessor each month for any gift cards issued by MLP, Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. or Lessee at any time prior to termination of the Lease (including prior to commencement of the Lease) and accepted for redemption by Lessor within fifteen (15) days following the last day of the month in which such gift certificate is accepted for redemption by Lessor.  Any payments received by Lessor each month with respect to the use of the Premises for periods following the Commencement Date and prior to the Termination Date shall be paid by Lessor to Lessee within fifteen (15) days following the last day of the month in which the payment is received; provided, however, that Lessor may offset from any such payments the outstanding amount of any gift certificates accepted for redemption by Lessor.

 

20



 

(ii)           Pro Shop Inventory.  Upon the termination of the Lease, the representatives of Lessor and Lessee shall prepare an inventory at the Golf Course (which inventory shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee) of (x) all of guests’ golf clubs and luggage checked or left in the care of the Golf Course by guests then or formerly at the Golf Course, (y) parcels, laundry or other property of guests checked or left in the care of the Golf Course by guests then or formerly at the Golf Course, and (z) all items contained in the Golf Course “lost and found”.  Lessor shall be responsible for all of such items listed in the inventory from and after the delivery of such items by Lessee to Lessor and shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessee harmless from and against any claim, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lessee relating to the loss of or damage to such items listed in the inventory from and after their delivery to Lessor.  The provisions of this paragraph 57(a)(ii) shall survive termination of this Lease.

 

(iii)          Equipment Leases.  Upon the Termination Date, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to the extent assignable, to receive an assignment of Lessee’s rights under (x) any of the equipment leases for golf course maintenance equipment, golf carts and related accessories and other personal property then subject to lease or (y) the tennis operation agreement with Peter Burwash International, Inc. upon Lessor’s written agreement to assume Lessee’s obligations under such equipment leases after the Termination Date.  Lessee shall provide Lessor with complete copies of each such equipment lease not less than 60 days prior to the Termination Date and Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing not less than 30 days prior to the Termination Date which, if any, of the equipment leases or the agreement Lessor shall assume on the Termination Date and Lessee shall, to the extent assignable, assign the same to Lessor.  Lessee shall also remove from the Premises any equipment not assigned to or purchased by the Lessor.

 

b.             Revenues and Expenses.

 

(1)           All other revenues and expenses for the Golf Course shall be allocated between Lessor and Lessee as provided herein, effective as of the end of the day night audit process, but no later than 5:00 a.m. Hawaiian Time, on the Termination Date (the “Cutoff Time”), determined in accordance with sound accounting principles, consistently applied.  Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Lease, Lessee shall be entitled to all revenue and shall be responsible for all expenses for the period of time up to but not including the Cutoff Time, and Lessor shall be entitled to all revenue and be responsible for all expenses for the period of time from, after and including the Cutoff Time.

 

(2)           Lessor shall promptly pay and reimburse Lessee for the following:  (i) petty cash funds and house banks on hand at the Golf Course as of the Cutoff Time; (ii) guest ledger balance as of the Cutoff Time; (iii) unexpired portions of prepaid expenses for all contracts assumed by Lessor, if any, to include (but not limited to) deposits, dues and memberships, maintenance agreements, advertising contracts, licensing agreements and software support agreements; (iv) prepaid amounts of taxes and assessments; (v) prepaid amounts of city, county and state permit and license fees (if transferable) allocable to the period following the Cutoff Time and any deposits assumed by Lessor in connection with any such permits and licenses; (vi) for all contracts that are assumed by Landlord upon termination, security deposits paid by Lessee to outside vendors and suppliers to the Golf Course (provided such security deposits remain on deposit for the benefit of Lessor); and (vii) if and when received by Lessor, uncollected rents due from the Restaurant Lease, subleases and other occupancy agreements allocable to the period before the Cutoff Time.

 

21



 

c.             Reconciliation.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any revenue or expense amount that cannot be ascertained with certainty as of the Termination Date shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable estimate of such amount, and shall be the subject of a final proration within ninety (90) days after Termination Date, or as soon thereafter as a precise amount can be ascertained.  Lessor shall promptly notify Seller when it becomes aware that any such actual amount has been ascertained.  Once all revenue and expense amounts have been ascertained, Lessor shall prepare a final proration statement which shall be subject to Lessee’s approval.  Upon Lessee’s acceptance and approval of any such final proration statement, such statement shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final and Lessee and Lessor shall each make any further adjustments required by such final proration statement.  Lessee shall be entitled to an accounting from Lessor with respect to any such revenue and expense amount, which is subject to allocation between Lessor and Lessee.

 

d.             Customer Relation Data.  At Lease termination, Lessee shall retain one (1) set of customer relationship management (CRM) data for the Golf Course.

 

e.             Pro-Shop Lease.  At Lease termination, provided such termination was not the result of an uncured breach or default of this Lease by Lessee, and provided that the Plantation Golf Course Lease dated March 27, 2009 has not been terminated due to the default of the Lessee thereunder, Lessor and Lessee (or, at Lessee’s election, Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. (“KLC”) provided that KLC is also the lessee under the Plantation Golf Course pro shop lease) shall execute the pro shop lease attached hereto as Exhibit C.

 

58.           Miscellaneous.  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.  The laws of the State of Hawaii shall govern the validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease.  Any action under or related to this Lease shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Hawaii.  The covenants and conditions herein contained shall, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.
