Each LLC Series has been duly established by the Company. Each Credit Party and each Significant Subsidiary (i) has the full power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, (ii) is duly qualified in every state where the nature of its business requires that it do so, and (iii) is in good standing under the laws of every jurisdiction outside the state of its organization in which it owns or leases property or conducts business and in each case of (ii) and (iii), in which the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.

8
exempt from the application of) all material federal, state and local laws, regulations and orders that are, or in the absence of any exemption could be, applicable to the operations of its business, including public utility, bank holding company, state agricultural and Environmental and Safety Laws, in each case except to the extent that the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party has full power, authority and right to execute and deliver, and to perform and observe, the provisions of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated by such Transaction Documents. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Notes to be issued hereunder by the Company has been authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company and other action, and, when duly executed and delivered, will be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable debtor relief laws and by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by each Credit Party (other than the Company) has been authorized by all necessary corporate and other action, and, when duly executed and delivered, will be the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms. Each of the Company and Holdings represents and warrants that Schedule 8A contains complete and correct lists, as of the date of this Agreement, of the Subsidiaries of Holdings, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and the percentage of equity outstanding owned by Holdings and each other Subsidiary.
8B. Financial Statements. Holdings and the Company have furnished each Purchaser of any Notes with the following financial statements, identified by a Responsible Officer of Holdings: (i) consolidated balance sheets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as of the last day in each of the two fiscal years of Holdings most recently completed prior to the date as of which this representation is made or repeated (other than fiscal years completed within 120 days prior to such date for which audited financial statements have not been released) and consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for each such year, certified by Deloitte & Touche (or such other accounting firm of recognized national standing); and (ii) consolidated balance sheets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as at the end of the quarterly period (if any) most recently completed prior to such date and after the end of such fiscal year (other than quarterly periods completed within 60 days prior to such date for which financial statements have not been released) and the comparable quarterly period in the preceding fiscal year and consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the periods from the beginning of the fiscal years in which such quarterly periods are included to the end of such quarterly periods, in each case prepared by Holdings. Such financial statements (including any related schedules and/or notes) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently followed throughout the periods involved, except as expressly noted therein, and show all liabilities, direct and contingent, of Holdings and its Subsidiaries required to be shown in accordance with such principles. The balance sheets fairly present the condition of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof, and the statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows fairly present the results of the operations and cash flows of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the periods indicated. In the case of any Closing Day, there has been no event or circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect since the end of the most recent fiscal year for which such audited financial statements had been furnished at the time of the Acceptance with respect to the Notes to be issued on such Closing Day.
8C. Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Company, threatened in writing against Holdings, the Company or any other Subsidiary or any properties or rights of Holdings, the Company or any other Subsidiary,
9
by or before any court, arbitrator or administrative or governmental body which could reasonably be expected to result in any Material Adverse Effect.
8D. Outstanding Debt. None of Holdings, the Company or any Subsidiary has any Debt outstanding that would cause Holdings or the Company not to be in compliance with paragraphs 6A(3), 6A(4) or 6A(5).
8E. Title to Properties. Each Credit Party and each Significant Subsidiary has such title to its properties and assets as is necessary for the conduct of the business which such Credit Party or such Significant Subsidiary presently undertakes or contemplates undertaking, except where the lack thereof could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no Liens on such properties and assets that (i) materially restrict such Credit Party’s or such Significant Subsidiary’s intended use and enjoyment thereof in the ordinary course of business or (ii) are not permitted by paragraph 6B(1). There is no default, nor any event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default under any lease to which any Credit Party or any such Significant Subsidiary is a lessee, lessor, sublessee or sublessor, except to the extent any of the foregoing defaults could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
8F. Taxes. Holdings, the Company and each other Significant Subsidiary has filed all material tax returns which are required to be filed by it. Holdings, the Company and each other such Subsidiary has paid all material taxes as shown on its returns and on all assessments received to the extent that such taxes have become due, except such assessments as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Holdings, the Company and the other Subsidiaries do not have any unpaid tax obligations which collectively could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.”

Schedule 6B(3)
Reorganization
Holding Company Merger and LLC Conversion
Alexander & Xxxxxxx, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (the “Company”), intends to elect to be subject to tax as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with the Company’s 2017 taxable year (the “REIT Election”). In connection with the REIT Election, the Company formed Alexander & Xxxxxxx REIT Holdings, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (“A&B REIT Holdings”), as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
A&B REIT Holdings formed A&B REIT Merger Corporation, a Hawaii corporation, as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of A&B REIT Holdings (“Merger Sub”), and entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, A&B REIT Holdings and Merger Sub pursuant to which, subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger and as a wholly owned subsidiary of A&B REIT Holdings (the “Merger”), and (ii) each share of Company common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into one share of A&B REIT Holdings common stock.
As a result of the Merger, A&B REIT Holdings will replace the Company as the Hawaii-based, publicly held corporation through which the Company’s operations are conducted and will (through its subsidiaries) conduct all of the operations conducted by the Company immediately prior to the Merger. Promptly following the consummation of the Merger, the Company will be converted into a Hawaii limited liability company pursuant to a plan of conversion under Section 414-271 of the HBCA (the “LLC Conversion”) and, concurrently therewith, the name of the Company be changed to “Alexander & Xxxxxxx Investments, LLC”. Promptly following the consummation of the LLC Conversion, the name of A&B REIT Holdings will be changed to “Alexander & Xxxxxxx, Inc.”
