(b) Second, to the Partners who have made Priority Capital Contributions (pari passu in proportion to their respective Unreturned Priority Capital Contributions) until each Partner’s Unreturned Priority Capital Contributions have been reduced to zero; and
(c) Third, to the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
Section 8.2 Withholding. If the Partnership is required to withhold any portion of any distribution or allocation to a Partner by applicable federal, state, local or foreign tax laws, the Partnership shall withhold such amounts and make such payments to such taxing authorities as are necessary to ensure compliance with such tax laws. Any funds withheld by reason of this Section
-19-
shall nonetheless be deemed distributed or allocated (as the case may be) to the Partner in question for all purposes of this Agreement. If the Partnership makes any payment to a taxing authority in respect of a Partner hereunder that is not withheld from actual distributions to the Partner, then the Partnership may. at the option of the General Partner. (i) require the Partner to reimburse the Partnership for such withholding, or (ii) reduce any subsequent distributions to such Partner by the amount of such withholding. The obligation of a Partner to reimburse the Partnership for taxes that were required to be withheld shall continue after such Partner Transfers its interest in the Partnership or after a withdrawal by such Partner until the reimbursement is made in full. Each Partner agrees to furnish the Partnership with any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Partnership to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have.
Section 8.3 Special Distribution or Conveyance of Lots.
(a) Subject to receipt of any necessary approvals under the Ground Lease, the Partnership shall cause to be transferred (i) to KD, or its designee, pursuant to the Retained Rights Agreement, three (3) subdivided residential, single-family lots (each a “Residential Lot”) in Phase 2A and a total of four (4) additional Residential Lots in subsequent Phases, and (ii) [****].
(b) Subject to receipt of any necessary approvals under the Ground Lease, all transfers shall be made by way of special warranty deed, conveying fee simple title to the applicable Residential Lots, free and clear of liens and monetary encumbrances, but subject to all other matters of public record or other items that would be shown on a current survey of such Residential Lots, including any obligation to pay any amounts owed under the Ground Lease upon a sale of the Residential Lot (together with all applicable improvements thereon) to the ultimate purchaser thereof. To the extent that a fee transfer cannot be accomplished, the Partnership and the applicable transferee shall cooperate to transfer the Partnership’s (or its Subsidiary’s or JV Entity’s) interest in the applicable Residential Lot by way of an assignment of rights under the Ground Lease, or otherwise. The transferee (i.e., KD, [****]) shall be responsible for the payment of the costs of all title insurance, escrow fees, transfer taxes, recording fees, or amounts owed pursuant to the Ground Lease with respect to such transfer of the Residential Lot. Real property taxes and assessments shall be prorated as of the date of the transfer. The Partners agree to take all actions and to execute all documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 8.3.

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; ALLOCATIONS TO PARTNERS
CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; ALLOCATIONS TO PARTNERS
Section 9.1 Capital Accounts. The Partnership will establish and maintain a separate Capital Account on the books of the Partnership for each Partner. The Capital Accounts of the Partners will be restated by the General Partner as of the Effective Date in accordance with the definition of Book Value, and the restated Capital Account balance of each Partner will be reflected in the books and records of the Partnership as set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto.
Section 9.2 Tax Allocations.
(a) General Rule. For each Fiscal Year of the Partnership, after the application of Section 9.3 and Section 9.4 below, Profits and Losses shall be allocated to the Partners in a manner which causes each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance to equal the amount that would be distributed to such Partner pursuant to Section 12.2 upon a hypothetical liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with Section 9.2(b).
(b) Hypothetical Liquidation Defined. In determining the amounts distributable to the Partners under Section 12.2 upon a hypothetical liquidation, it shall be presumed that (i) all of the Partnership’s assets are sold at their respective Book Values without further adjustment, (ii) payments to any holder of a nonrecourse debt are limited to the Book Value of the assets securing repayment of such debt, (iii) the proceeds of such hypothetical sale are applied and distributed in accordance with Section 12.2, and (iv) there will be permitted adjustments for any previously made special or regulatory allocations under Section 9.3 and Section 9.4, as appropriate under the circumstances in consultation with the Partnership’s tax advisors.
(c) Item Allocations. To the extent the General Partner determines that allocations of Profits and Losses over the term of the Partnership are not likely to produce
-21-
the Adjusted Capital Account Balances intended under this Section 9.2, then special allocations of income, gain, loss andlor deduction shall be made as deemed necessary by the General Partner to achieve the intended Adjusted Capital Account Balances. It is the intention of the Partners that this Section 9.2 shall be applied so that upon the occurrence of the liquidation of the Partnership, the balances in the Partners’ respective Capital Accounts will have been established to the extent feasible under this Section 9.2 to equal the amounts that are distributed to the Partners respectively pursuant to Section 12.2, in order that distributions in liquidation of the Partnership effectively will meet the requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2).
(d) Special Allocations on Liquidation. It is intended that the amount to be distributed to each Partner upon the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership should equal the amount such Partner would receive if liquidation proceeds were distributed in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 8.1 These intended distribution amounts for each Partner are referred to as such Partner’s “Targeted Distribution Amounts.” Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement, if upon a dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, any Partner’s ending Capital Account balance immediately prior to the distribution to be made pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Agreement otherwise would be less than the balance required to ensure that such Partner receives its Targeted Distribution Amount, then, for such Fiscal Year of liquidation and dissolution and, to the extent amended tax returns can be filed for prior Fiscal Years of the Partnership (if necessary), such Partner shall be specially allocated items of income or gain for such current or prior years, and items of loss or deduction for such current or prior years shall be allocated away from such Partner to the other Partners, until Profits or Losses for the year of liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership can be allocated so as to cause such Partner’s actual Capital Account balance to equal the Targeted Distribution Amount for such Partner.
Section 9.3 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:
(a) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to each Partner’s relative Unreturned Priority Capital Contributions, or, if none exist, the Partner’s relative Percentage Interests, unless a different allocation is determined to be required under the Code after consultation with the Partnership’s tax advisors. Solely for purposes of determining each Partner’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Partner’s interest in Partnership profits shall be equal to its Percentage Interests, unless a different allocation is determined to be required under the Code after consultation with the Partnership’s tax advisors.
-22-
(b) Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to each such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as such share is determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). The items of Partnership income and gain to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Treasury Regulation 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith, including the exceptions to the minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(2) and (3).
(c) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions, as defined in and determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(2). for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be allocated to the Partner or Partners which bear the economic risk of loss with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt, to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
(d) Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 9 (other than Section 9.3(b).), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to each such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, said aggregate net decrease determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). The items of Partnership income and gain to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii). This Section is intended to comply with the partnership minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith, including the exceptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704(f)(2) and (3) to the extent applicable.
(e) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), respectively, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of
-23-
such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article 9 have been tentatively made as if this Section 9.3(e) were not in this Agreement.
The allocation contained in this Section is intended to be a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), and shall be applied consistently therewith.
(f) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to said Section of the Treasury Regulations.
(g) Recapture. In the event there is any recapture of Depreciation or item of tax credit, the allocation thereof shall be made among the Partners in the same proportion as the deduction for such Depreciation or item of tax credit was allocated.
Section 9.4 Regulatory Compliance; Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 9.3 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to divide Partnership distributions, as reflected by Article 8. Accordingly, but subject in all events to the requirements of Section 9.3(g), the General Partner, is authorized to further allocate Profit, Loss, items of each thereof and other items among the Partners in a reasonable manner so as to prevent the Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which Partnership distributions would be divided among the Partners under Article 8 but for application of the Regulatory Allocations. In general, such reallocation will be accomplished by specially allocating other Profit, Loss and items of income, gain, loss and deduction, to the extent they exist, among the Partners so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and the special allocations made under Section 9.3 to each Partner is zero. This may be accomplished in any reasonable manner that is consistent with Code Section 704 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
Section 9.5 Tax Allocations.
(a) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, Depreciation, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed
-24-
to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Book Value, such allocation to be made using any of the methods described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3, as selected by the General Partner in its sole discretion, or as otherwise determined by the Partners.
(b) In the event the Book Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to the definition thereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, using the method described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3 selected by the General Partner.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.5(a) and Section 9.5(b), for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction has been allocated pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement.
(d) Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made in a manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to Section 9.5(a) through Section 9.5(c) are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profit, Loss or items of either thereof, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
Section 9.6 Other Allocation Rules.
(a) For purposes of determining the Profit, Loss, or any other items allocable to any period, Profit, Loss, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(b) All matters concerning the computation and maintenance of Capital Accounts, the allocation of Profit (and items thereof) and Loss (and items thereof), the allocation of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and expense for tax purposes, and the adoption of any tax methods or accounting procedures not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by the General Partner.

TAX MATTERS
TAX MATTERS

Section 10.1 Preparation of Tax Returns. The General Partner, at the expense of the Partnership, shall prepare or cause to be prepared all federal and Hawaii income tax returns for the Partnership and shall further cause such returns to be timely filed (including, if necessary, seeking appropriate extensions) with the appropriate authorities. The General Partner shall use reasonable good faith efforts to cause the Partnership to issue a Schedule K-1 with respect to each Fiscal Year to each Partner by April 1st of the following Fiscal Year. It is contemplated that the Partnership will be classified as a “partnership” for federal, state and local income tax purposes. The Partnership and the Partners will take such reasonable action as may be necessary or advisable, and as reasonably determined by the General Partner, including the amendment of this Agreement, to cause or ensure that the Partnership shall be treated as a “partnership” for federal, state and local income tax purposes. To the extent that additional foreign reporting requirements arise as a result of a specific Partner (or its Affiliates), such Partner will be responsible for and shall reimburse the Partnership and the General Partner for any additional cost incurred by either in order to comply with such reporting requirements (and such costs shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution).
Section 10.2 Tax Elections. The General Partner may cause the Partnership to make any election permitted to be made for tax purposes.
Section 10.3 Tax Representative.
(a) The General Partner shall act as the tax matters partner of the Partnership (if applicable), as such term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code in effect for years prior to 2019. and as the partnership representative of the Partnership, as such term is defined in Section 6223 of the Code (collectively, the “Tax Representative”), and shall have all the powers and duties assigned to a “tax matters partner” (if applicable) and/or a “partnership representative” under the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Partners agree to perform all acts necessary under Section 6223 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder to designate the General Partner as the Tax Representative and, if applicable, under Section 6231 of the Code and the regulations thereunder in effect for years prior to 2019. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Tax Representative shall, upon receipt of notice from the IRS, give notice of an administrative proceeding with respect to the Partnership to all Partners in accordance with, and as if such Partners were each a “notice partner” pursuant to, Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code in effect for years prior to 2019.
(b) The Tax Representative shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership for such expenses as are necessary in fulfilling its role as the Tax Representative. The provisions relating to indemnification of the General Partner set forth in Section 4.6 of this Agreement shall be fully applicable to the Tax Representative in its capacity as such.
-26-
(c) The Tax Representative shall receive no compensation for its services. All third party costs and expenses incurred by the Tax Representative in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) shall be borne by the Partnership. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting, legal and/or other firm to assist the Tax Representative in discharging its duties hereunder, so long as the compensation paid by the Partnership for such services is reasonable.
Section 10.4 Taxes Attributable to Current or Former Partners. The General Partner may cause the Partnership to pay any taxes (and any penalties, interest, and other assessments and charges in respect thereof) that the Partnership is required to pay with respect to a current or former Partner’s Partnership Interest (including any Partnership Interests previously held by such Partner), including any taxes the Partnership may be obligated to pay under Code § 6225 (as amended from time to time, including by Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114-74)). The General Partner shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, each Partner’s share of any imputed underpayment of taxes. Each Partner shall pay such tax obligation (either directly or to the Partnership) upon demand from the General Partner and shall take such other actions as the General Partner may reasonably direct. including. but not limited to filing an amended return for any “reviewed year” to account for all adjustments under Code § 6225(a) (as amended from time to time), and if such tax obligation is not paid to the Partnership within thirty (30) days following the request therefor, the same shall begin to accrue interest at the higher of (i) the interest rate charged by the Internal Revenue Service on such unpaid tax obligation, or (ii) eighteen percent (18%), compounded annually. For the avoidance of doubt, payments made to the Partnership for any such tax obligations shall not constitute Capital Contributions. Failure to pay such tax obligation shall entitle the General Partner to pursue (on behalf of the Partnership) any and all remedies under applicable law against the defaulting Partner, including, but not limited to, offsetting any future distributions payable to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement or any payments payable to an Affiliate of such Partner pursuant to any agreement between such Affiliate and the Partnership. Each such Partner shall indemnify and hold the Partnership and the other Partners harmless against any costs, penalties, payments, or other losses (including attorneys’ fees, expert fees and costs) incurred in connection with a breach of this Section 10.4. This Section 10.4 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Partnership (or the transfer of all or any portion of Partner’s Partnership Interest), and for purposes of this Section 10.4 the Partnership shall be treated as continuing in existence.

R E C I T A L S :
A. | KD Acquisition II is the “Lessee” under a ground lease entitled “Indenture of Lease”, dated as of May 27, 2009, Lease No. 29,250, and made between the Trustees of the Estate of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, collectively (and referred to herein) as the “Lessor”, as modified by an Amendment of Xxxxxx Estate Lease Nos. 29,250 and 29,251 dated March 7, 2016 (the “Increment 2/Beach Club Lease Amendment”), and as evidenced and memorialized of record by a Memorandum of Lease recorded in the Bureau of Conveyances of the State of Hawaii (“Bureau”), as Document No. 2009-096327; said Memorandum is modified by an Amendment of Memorandum of Lease recorded in the Bureau as Document No. A-59130256 (collectively the “Increment 2 Lease”). The Increment 2 Lease demises to KD Acquisition II certain land and related real property interests situated in the County of Hawaii and described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which land and interests are sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Increment 2”. As also referenced on Exhibit “A”, Increment 2 will further include any portion of Xxx 00, Xxxxxxxxx Xxx 0-X Xxxxx 0, Xxxxxxxxx 2 Subdivision, File Plan 2438 (as filed in the Bureau), which is hereafter conveyed to KD Acquisition II by KD Acquisition I (defined below). |
NY 77646115v1
B. | KD Acquisition II’s affiliate, KD Acquisition, LLLP, a Delaware limited liability limited partnership (“KD Acquisition I”), has been and continues to be the developer of certain real property adjoining Increment 2 and referred to hereinafter as “Increment 1”. KD Acquisition l’s interests in Increment 1 arose as leasehold rights under that certain Indenture of Lease, Lease No. 29,032, dated February 13, 2004, and made between Lessor and KD Acquisition I, as the lessee thereunder, as such ground lease was evidenced and memorialized by a Memorandum recorded in the Bureau as Document No. 2004-031733, and has been amended by (1) an Amendment of Lease and Mutual Quitclaim dated September 26, 2007, and recorded in the Bureau as Document No. 2007-170877, and (ii) a First Amendment to Indenture of Lease made by the same parties and dated May 27, 2009, as evidenced by a Memorandum recorded in the Bureau as Document No. 2009-096326 (collectively the “Increment 1 Lease”). KD Acquisition I acquired fee title to certain single-family residential subdivision lots within Increment 1 pursuant to the deed dated December 12, 2005, and recorded in the Bureau on December 23, 2005 as Document No. 2005-262400, and another deed recorded in the Bureau on September 26, 2007, as Document No. 2007-170887. Increment 1 is comprised of the land legally described in the original Increment 1 Lease, net of the land now demised under the Increment 2 Lease, and includes the fee interests still held by KD Acquisition 1 in and to the unsold residential lots which are described on Exhibit “B” hereto (the “Remaining Increment 1 Lots”). |
C. | By a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated February 13, 2004 (“Increment 1 Sale Agreement”), KD sold certain interests associated with Increment 1 to KD Acquisition I (then known as WB KD Acquisition, LLC). By an Amended and Restated Agreement As To Lot 4A, Increment 2 dated May 27, 2009 (“Increment 2 Sale Agreement”), KD sold certain interests associated with Increment 2 to KD Acquisition II (then known as WB KD Acquisition II, LLC). Under those Sale Agreements, KD reserved or retained or was granted certain rights, which included (1) the right to receive a percentage of the gross proceeds from lot or unit sales within each Increment (“Percentage Payments”), (2) under the Increment 2 Sale Agreement, the right to certain “Distribution Payments” as defined therein, (3) the right to approve changes in the applicable Concept Plan, which plan identified the location and the number of units of each type which KD Acquisition I or KD Acquisition II planned to develop within Increment 1 and Increment 2, respectively, and (4) the right upon certain conditions, to step in and assume the lessee’s rights under the Increment 2 Lease. The rights described in items (1), (2), (3) and (4) above, together with any and all other rights and interests that KD may hold under the Increment 1 Sale Agreement and the Increment 2 Sale Agreement, are referred to below as “KD’s Retained Rights”. |
D. | Notice to third parties of KD’s Retained Rights in Increment 1 and Increment 2 is provided by a Memorandum of Agreement (the “Memorandum”) dated February 13, 2004 and recorded in the Bureau as Document No. 2004-031731, as amended by Amendment to |
2
NY 77646115v1
Memorandum of Agreement dated May 27, 2009 and recorded in the Bureau as Document No. 2009-096329 (the Memorandum as amended being referred to below as the “Notice of KD’s Retained Rights”). The Memorandum refers to the Increment 1 Sale Agreement as the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”, and the Amendment thereto noted above refers to the Increment 2 Sale Agreement as the “Increment 2 PSA”.
E. | To facilitate the development and sale of lots or units within Increment 2, KD Acquisition II has requested that (1) KD release KD’s Retained Rights in Increment 2, and (2) KD confirm what KD’s Retained Rights it still holds with respect to Increment 1, and KD has agreed to do so in accordance with the following provisions. |

3. Pursuant to sections 1 and 2 above, KD’s Retained Rights are all extinguished and terminated, excepting only the Remaining Increment 1 Payment Rights. The Notice of KD’s Retained Rights is hereby released, terminated and extinguished, and shall no longer constitute any encumbrance or record notice affecting increment 1 or Increment 2, except that it shall remain in effect only as record notice of the Remaining Increment 1 Payment Rights affecting the Remaining Increment 1 Lots described on Exhibit “B” hereto, and as record notice of the Lot 4-C Rights.
