2.2 Leased Assets
(a) Seller must (through Mac Farms or Kapua) lease to Buyer, and Buyer must lease from Seller, those assets and properties used, held for use or intended to be used in the conduct of the Mac Nut Business set forth on Schedule 2.2(a) (the “Leased Assets”), upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the Leases. As used in this Section 2.2(a), “Lease” means and includes “sublease” as to any Leased Assets.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the term “Purchased Assets” does not include the Leased Assets.
2.3 Terms of Purchase and Sale
(a) Purchase Consideration. As full consideration for the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and delivery to Buyer of the Purchased Assets, Buyer must, subject to the terms of this Agreement, deliver to Seller on the Closing Date the following (the “Purchase Consideration”):
9
(1) Cash Payment. Good and immediately-available funds (delivered by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller) in the amount of the net value of Seller’s current assets as of the Closing Date (other than Seller’s cash, accounts receivable and the associated reserve for doubtful accounts, which are “Excluded Assets” pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof), less all current liabilities as of the Closing Date, other than Seller’s revolving credit line, Seller’s short-term debt, including any loans made to Seller by its affiliates, such as RBS Sparks Holdings, LP, provisions for income tax liabilities, interest payable, employee benefits-related liabilities, and any inter-company balances, all as identified in Exhibit “I” (the “Working Capital” or the “Cash Payment”); provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that five percent (5%) of the Cash Payment shall be remitted by Buyer to the Escrow Agent to be held in the Escrow Agent’s trust account (the “Holdback Amount”). The Escrow Agent shall retain the Holdback Amount in its trust account (the “Escrow Account”), pending the outcome of the True-Up (as defined herein). Upon completion of the True-Up, the Escrow Agent shall remit the Holdback Amount, as directed in the joint written instructions of Seller and Buyer. The details of the foregoing escrow arrangement shall be memorialized in an escrow agreement by and among Seller, Buyer, and the Escrow Agent, in form and substance acceptable to Seller and Buyer. Both current assets and current liabilities shall be determined in the form and manner as set forth in Exhibit “I”. The Parties will use the unaudited balance sheets of Seller as of the last day of the month preceding the Closing Date to determine the estimated amount of the Cash Payment to be paid by Buyer to Seller on the Closing Date, using the methodology set forth in Exhibit I.
Thereafter, commencing immediately after the Closing Date, Buyer will reconcile and review the financial statements of Seller, NewCo1 and NewCo2 using its regular auditors, Accuity, LLP. In connection with such Reconciliation and Review, Buyer shall provide to Seller at least five (5) days’ prior written notice of any inventory count, and Seller shall have the right to have a representative present to observe and participate in any such inventory count. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will deliver to Seller the results of such Reconciliation and Review. The Parties will determine the actual amount of the Cash Payment, based upon the reconciled and reviewed balance sheets of Seller, NewCo1 and NewCo2, as of the Closing Date, using the methodology set forth in Exhibit I and as reconciled and reviewed by Accuity, LLP (the “True-Up”). If the True-Up is greater than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Working Capital, as shown on the unaudited balance sheets of Seller, as of the last day of the month preceding the Closing Date (the “Base Payment”), then to the extent the True-Up value exceeds the Base Payment, such amount shall be paid to Seller from the Hold-Back Amount held in the Escrow Account. If there are any funds left in the Escrow Account, after such payment, such funds shall be remitted to Buyer; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, if the True-Up value exceeds the Hold-Back Amount, then, in any such event, Buyer shall pay such excess to Seller from Buyer’s funds. In the event the True-Up value is less than the Base Payment, then all funds in the Escrow Account shall be paid to Buyer. In addition, Seller shall pay to Buyer, from Seller’s funds, the amount by which the True-Up value is less than the Base Payment. The foregoing payments, based upon the Reconciliation and Review, shall be made within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date.
If Seller disagrees with the Reconciliation and Review prepared by Accuity, LLP, Seller shall have the right to resort to the ADR procedures set forth in Exhibit E herein.
10
(2) Units. Six Hundred Fifty Thousand (650,000) Class A limited partnership units in MLP (“Units”). The Units will be issued as a Private Placement under Regulation D of the Securities Act based upon the representations of Seller contained in Section 3.31. Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, and at Buyer’s sole expense, Buyer will file with the SEC the Registration Statement (as herein defined) to register the Units with the SEC.
(3) Reserved.
(4) Assumption of Liabilities. Assumption of the Liabilities as set forth in Section 2.5.
(b) Allocation of the Purchase Consideration. Buyer and Seller agree to allocate the Purchase Consideration, as adjusted, in accordance with the principles set forth in Schedule 2.3(b), which schedule is based upon the unaudited balance sheets of Seller as of December 31, 2006. After the Closing Date such schedule will be updated to conform to the unaudited balance sheets of Seller, NewCo1 and NewCo2 as of the Closing Date. Thereafter, the Parties will make consistent use of the allocation for all tax purposes and in all filings, declarations, and reports to the IRS in respect thereof, including the reports required to be filed under Section 1060 of the Code, and to be filed with the State of Hawaii Department of Taxation, including the Bulk Sales Report (Form G-8A). Buyer will prepare and deliver IRS Form 8594 to Seller within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date to be filed with the IRS, which shall be subject to Seller’s approval, prior to submission thereof by Buyer to the IRS. In any litigation related to the determination of any tax, Buyer and Seller must not contend that such allocation is not a correct allocation.
(c) Determination of Which Entity Takes Purchased Assets. Buyer will determine, in Buyer’s sole discretion, which of two entities to be formed for such purpose (“NewCo1” or “NewCo2”), will take possession of the Purchased Assets upon the Closing; provided, however, that the fact that either NewCo1 or NewCo2 takes possession of the Purchased Assets shall in no way reduce or diminish MLP’s obligations or liabilities to Seller under this Agreement or the Related Agreements. Generally, Buyer intends that any Purchased Assets whose use would be consistent with MLP’s permissible operations (i.e., farming macadamia nuts) will be taken by NewCo1, and any Purchased Assets whose use would be inconsistent with MLP’s permissible operations (i.e., processing macadamia nuts) will be taken by NewCo2.
(d) Buyer will, at its sole expense, form NewCo1 and NewCo2 as subsidiaries of Seller, immediately prior to Closing. Buyer will draft mutually-acceptable transfer documents, so that the proper assets are transferred to the appropriate subsidiary of Seller. The foregoing asset transfers and the transfer of all of the stock and membership interests of such subsidiaries from Seller to Buyer shall occur and be effective at Closing.
(e) Seller will advise Buyer of the entity (i.e., Mac Farms or Kapua) that will receive the relevant elements of the Purchase Consideration consistent with Section 2.3(b).
2.4 Excluded Assets, Accounts Receivable, and Assumed Liabilities
The Parties acknowledge, understand, and agree that Seller owns certain assets that are
11
not part of the Purchased Assets or Leased Assets. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller retains and does not transfer, convey, assign, or deliver to Buyer, and Buyer does not acquire any right, title, or interest in or to the assets listed on Schedule 2.4, including Seller’s (i) cash, and (ii) Accounts Receivable, and associated reserve for doubtful accounts, which shall be retained by Seller, and which shall be collected by Buyer for the benefit of Seller and remitted by Buyer to Seller as provided herein (the “Excluded Assets”); provided, further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller may sell the Excluded Assets and the Seller Land to any Person without Buyer’s consent or approval (the “Third-Party Sales”).
To the extent Buyer receives any payments from customers for work performed or goods sold by Seller, prior to the Closing Date, and if Buyer has not performed any work for such customers or sold any goods to such customers, prior to the receipt of payment, then Buyer shall immediately remit such funds to Seller.
In the event Buyer should receive payments from customers after the Closing Date, and such customers owe accounts payable to both Buyer and Seller, then such payments shall be applied in accordance with the written instructions or contract number references accompanying the payment. If no such instructions or references accompany the payment, the payment shall be applied first to accounts receivable accrued and owed to Seller prior to the Closing Date and thereafter to accounts receivable accrued and owed to Buyer after the Closing Date.
2.5 Assumed Liabilities
(a) As of the Closing Date, Buyer will assume, accept and undertake those liabilities, duties, obligations, and responsibilities of Seller for the following liabilities (the “Assumed Liabilities”): (i) all liability relating to ordinary course trade payables as of the Closing Date; (ii) all liabilities with respect to capital leases and installment purchases or any agreement with respect thereto; (iii) all other liabilities that constitute current liabilities of Seller in accordance with GAAP accrued as of the Closing Date; (iv) all liabilities related to, or arising from, the operation of the Mac Nut Business or ownership of the Purchased Assets and the Leased Assets after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any and all roll-back or deferred real property taxes and penalties and interest thereon assessed with respect to the Leased Assets, even if assessed for tax years (or parts thereof) before the Closing Date, as provided in the Leases; (v) all conveyance tax liabilities which arise as a result of the Leases; and (v) all liabilities relating to the Acquired Contracts from and after Closing.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer has no liability for the following, which are not included in the definition of “Assumed Liabilities”: except as set forth in Section 2.5 (a), (i) principal, interest, fees, expenses and other obligations in respect of borrowed money or any agreement with respect thereto; (ii) obligations of Seller for or relating to Taxes (including state and local sales, use, transfer, excise and other similar Taxes arising in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); (iii) obligations and expenses of Seller under this Agreement or any agreement entered into in
12
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) liabilities or obligations with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan; (v) liabilities of Seller with respect to any Proceedings pending or threatened against Seller; (vi) any liabilities arising out of any pre-Closing Date breach by Seller of any Contract, whether or not the obligations under such Contract would be an Assumed Liability; and (vii) liabilities or obligations of Seller related to or arising from the operation of the Mac Nut Business or ownership of the Purchased Assets and the Leased Assets before the Closing Date, including any liability or obligation relating to or arising from (A) macadamia nut products grown, manufactured, processed, treated, stored, sold, or distributed by Seller before the Closing Date or (B) injury to any Person or property before the Closing Date.

The Closing Date may be postponed by either party provided that the Closing Date shall not be later than October 31, 2007, without the approval, in writing, of both Parties.
2.7 Sales and Transfer Taxes; Property Taxes
(a) Seller must pay all conveyance taxes, Hawaii State general excise taxes, and any other transfer tax, sales tax, use tax, or similar state, county, or federal tax that may arise as a result of this transaction, except Buyer shall pay all conveyance taxes which arise as a result of the Leases.
(b) Seller and Buyer shall each pay one-half (½) of the aggregate premium for a standard owners’ title policy for Buyer’s lessee interest under the Leases (excluding any endorsements). Buyer shall pay all of the costs of any survey Buyer obtains, the cost of the recording fees for the Leases, any mortgage recording fees, the additional cost for an ALTA title policy over the cost of a standard owners’ title policy, and the cost of any endorsements obtained by Buyer under the title policy.
(c) Any and all real property taxes, assessments, utilities, rentals, fuel, and other charges (“Pro-Rated Items”) applicable to the Purchased Assets or the Leased Assets which are payable in the year which includes the Closing Date are to be pro-rated to the Closing Date based on the percentage of the year before the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer shall be responsible for payment of any and all roll-back or deferred real property taxes and penalties and interest thereon assessed with respect to the Leased Assets, even if assessed for tax years (or parts thereof) before the Closing Date, as provided in the Leases. Each of Seller and Buyer is responsible for their respective shares of those Pro-Rated Items.
(d) Seller shall be entitled to any credits or refunds of any Tax paid by Seller or accruing prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, the Hawaii Goods Excise Tax Credit and the Hawaii Fuel Tax, and not indemnified by Buyer, and any interest thereon. Buyer shall be entitled to any credits or refunds of any Tax paid by Buyer after the Closing Date and not indemnified by Seller, and any interest thereon.
13
2.8 Assignment and Assumption
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, or delivery of any Purchased Asset would be ineffective without the consent of any third party, or if such an act would violate the rights of any third party in the Purchased Assets or otherwise affect adversely the rights of Buyer in the Purchased Assets, and the applicable Required Consent has not been obtained on or before the Closing Date, this Agreement does not constitute an actual or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, or delivery of that Purchased Asset (each, a “Restricted Asset”). Unless and until any such Consent is obtained, such Restricted Asset does not constitute a Purchased Asset, and any associated Liability does not constitute an Assumed Liability for any purpose hereunder.
(b) In any such case, if the Closing has occurred, Seller must use its best efforts to obtain, as soon as practicable, such Required Consent, as to any Purchased Asset material to this transaction. Buyer must cooperate reasonably with Seller in obtaining such Required Consent, provided, that Buyer is not required to pay any cash consideration therefor or give or allow to remain in effect any guaranty, letter of credit, performance bond, or other financial assurance.
(c) Until such Required Consent is obtained, as to any Purchased Asset material to this transaction, Seller must at its expense effect an alternate arrangement, in the form of a license, sublease, operating agreement or other arrangement, in any case reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, which results in Buyer receiving all the benefits and bearing all the ordinary course costs, liabilities and other obligations with respect to each Restricted Asset.
(d) If such Required Consents cannot be obtained by September 30, 2007, as to any Purchased Asset material to this transaction, then, but only in such event, Buyer has the option of extending the Closing Date to a date not later than October 31, 2007, or waiving the requirement and closing the transaction.

Upon Closing, Buyer will be entitled to the continued possession and use of all Purchased Assets and Leased Assets subject to, as to the Leased Assets, the terms of the Leases between Seller and Buyer.
(b) To the Knowledge of Seller, there is no pending or anticipated change in any applicable building, zoning, subdivision, health and safety and other land use statutes, Laws, rules, regulations or other legal requirements affecting the real property described on Schedule 3.13 that will have, taken as a whole, a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE V.
PRE-CLOSING COVENANTS
The Parties agree as follows with respect to the period between the execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement:
5.1 Generally
Each Party must use its reasonable efforts to take all action and to do all things necessary, proper, or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including satisfying the closing conditions set forth in Article VII).
5.2 Notices and Consents
Seller must give any notices to third parties and must use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain such consents as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements, including the Required Consents. At the request of Seller, Buyer must provide Seller with such assistance and information as is reasonably requested by Seller to obtain the Required Consents. Any costs incurred in obtaining the such Required Consents must be borne by Seller. Seller must provide written notice to Seller’s employees and the director of the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations of the State of Hawaii 60 days before the Closing Date, as required under the Hawaii Dislocated Workers Act. Seller agrees that it will be responsible for all liability, back pay, or penalties for any violations of Hawaii’s Dislocated Workers Act arising out of termination of Seller’s employees by Seller on, or prior to, the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising under or resulting from such Purchased Asset if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach, default, violation or other contravention of the rights of such third party, would be ineffective with respect to any party to an agreement concerning such Purchased Asset, claim or right, or would in any way adversely affect the rights of Seller or, upon transfer, Buyer under such Purchased Asset, claim or right. If any transfer or assignment by Seller to Buyer, or any assumption by Buyer of, any interest in, or liability, obligation or commitment under, any Purchased Asset, claim or right requires the consent of a third party, then such transfer or assignment or assumption shall be made subject to such consent being obtained. If any such consent is not obtained before the Closing, and the Closing shall nonetheless take place on the terms set forth herein, thereafter, Seller shall use its best efforts to secure such consent as
29
promptly as practicable after the Closing. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement reasonably proposed by Buyer under which (i) Buyer shall obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of such third party or violating any applicable Law) the economic claims, rights and benefits under the Purchased Asset, claim or right with respect to which the consent has not been obtained in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) Buyer shall assume any related economic burden with respect to the Purchased Asset, claim or right with respect to which the consent has not been obtained in accordance with this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, subject only to Section 7.1(b), the terms of this Section 5.2 do not constitute conditions precedent to Closing, but rather represent the means for facilitating the assignment to Buyer of certain of the Purchased Assets and the assumption by Buyer of any obligations relating thereto, that Buyer has agreed to assume, under the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Seller shall grant Buyer and its agents and employees the right to enter the Seller Land at reasonable times and with reasonable notice before the Closing for the purpose of inspecting the Seller Land and the Purchased Assets, making such surveys or performing such tests, studies or other activities as are reasonably appropriate in connection with the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements; provided, however, that (i) all such activities are at Buyer’s sole cost, expense, and risk without right of reimbursement from Seller, and (ii) Buyer must use reasonable efforts to not unreasonably interfere with Seller’s existing activities on the Seller Land or the Mac Nut Business.
(e) Seller shall use reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with Buyer in the development of transition plans for implementation by Buyer following the Closing.

Seller shall give prompt written notice to Buyer of (i) any development affecting the ability of Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements, (ii) any material loss of any equipment, supplier, customer, contract or right relating to the Mac Nut Business, or (iii) any breach of or other variance (or circumstance or occurrence that could reasonably be expected to result in breach or variance or failure of a closing condition) from the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Article III, or any breach of or noncompliance (or circumstance or occurrence that could reasonably be expected to result in a breach or noncompliance of failure of a closing condition) with any covenant hereunder by Seller. If any fact or circumstance requires any change to the Disclosure Schedules, then Seller promptly shall deliver to Buyer a supplement to the Disclosure Schedules specifying such change. No disclosure under this Section 5.6 is to be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedules or to prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or breach of covenant.

5.7 Exclusivity
Seller shall not solicit, entertain or encourage (including by way of furnishing to any third party information regarding the Mac Nut Business or the Leased Assets or Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities for such purpose) the submission of, or any proposal or offer from any Person other than Buyer relating to any acquisition of Seller’s membership interests, or its assets or business operations related to the Mac Nut Business, whether through direct purchase, merger, consolidation or other business combination, other than the sale of inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, but without limiting the generality thereof, Seller may engage in discussions with third parties for the purpose of consummating (and may consummate) any Third-Party Sales; provided, however, that the buyer, in connection with any such Third-Party Sales, except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 5.7 attached hereto, agrees to purchase the Seller Land and/or the Excluded Assets subject to the terms of this Agreement.
5.8 Employee Matters
(a) Attached as Schedule 5.8, is a list of employees that Buyer wishes to hire (collectively the “Transferred Employees”). Subject to applicable Law and the receipt of any employee consents requested by Seller, Buyer will have full access to the Books and Records (including performance appraisals and disciplinary actions) of Seller for the purpose of preparing for and conducting employment interviews with all Transferred Employees. Seller agrees to terminate the employment of all the hired Transferred Employees effective immediately before the Closing. Before the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall jointly prepare and approve a notice to be sent to the Transferred Employees on or before the Closing Date, advising such Transferred Employees of the sale of the Mac Nut Business, their termination as Seller’s Employees and Buyer’s offer of employment. Buyer will hire the Transferred Employees who accept Buyer’s offer of employment on mutually agreeable terms and conditions as between Buyer, and such Employees and Seller will not have any obligation or responsibilities in connection with Buyer’s post-Closing employment of the Transferred Employees; provided, however, Seller must retain and comply with obligations and responsibilities as may be imposed on Seller under the Hawaii Dislocated Workers Act or the federal Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act. In the event any Transferred Employee fails to accept Buyer’s offer of employment, such Employee must remain an Employee of Seller, subject to Seller’s usual and customary practices, policies and procedures regarding employment, and Seller must be solely responsible for any and all obligations or liability with respect to the employment, or termination of employment, of any such Employee. Buyer’s expressed intention to extend offers of employment as set forth in this Section 5.8 does not constitute any commitment (express or implied) of any obligation on the part of Buyer to a post-Closing employment relationship of any fixed term or duration or upon an terms or conditions other than those that Buyer may establish under individual offers of employment. Nothing in this Agreement restricts any right of Buyer to terminate any Transferred Employee or to amend or terminate Employee benefits after the Closing Date to the extent permitted under applicable Law.
(b) Buyer will set its own initial terms and conditions of employment for the Transferred Employees and others it may hire, including work rules, benefits and salary and
33
wage structure, all as permitted by Law. Seller is solely liable for any severance payment required to be made to its Employees due to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Seller has advised Buyer that there are no collective bargaining agreements in force.
(c) Buyer must grant or cause to be granted full credit to the Transferred Employees that accept employment with Buyer for carry-over to employment with Buyer of unused vacation and other paid time-off balances under the Employee Benefit Plan and Employee policies of Seller before the Closing Date.

Each of Buyer and Seller shall prepare and file with the SEC any other filings as and when required or requested by the SEC. Each of Buyer and Seller will use all reasonable best efforts (i) to respond to any comments made by the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and (ii) to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC. Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer and the SEC and furnish reasonable information requested by the Buyer and the SEC; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to provide to the SEC (or permit Buyer to provide to the SEC) any additional information that may be requested by the SEC in order to prepare audited financial statements of Seller or to include other financial data of Seller in Buyer’s “Request for Substitution of Abbreviated Financial Information” to the SEC or in the Proxy Statement even if such additional information, audited financial statements or other financial data is required by the SEC to grant the SEC Preliminary Approval and/or to clear the Proxy Statement. As promptly as practicable after clearing all SEC comments to the Proxy Statement, Buyer shall mail the Proxy Statement to its holders of partnership interests. The Proxy Statement shall include the recommendation of the Board of Directors of Seller that adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by Buyer’s Unitholders are advisable and in the best interests of Buyer. No amendment or
34
supplement to the Proxy Statement will be made by Buyer without the approval of Seller (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).
(e) The information supplied by Seller for inclusion in the Proxy Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. The information supplied by Buyer for inclusion in the Proxy Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

For this Article VIII, no such certificate will be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made under this Agreement or the Related Agreements without Buyer’s prior written consent.

41

The foregoing limitation does not apply to any Seller indemnification obligation arising out of, relating to or resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Buyer.

42
(1) the breach (or third party allegation that, if true, would constitute a breach) by Buyer of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or any Related Agreement or any certificate delivered by Buyer in connection with this Agreement or any Related Agreement or the Closing;
(2) the breach (or third party allegation that, if true, would constitute a breach) by Buyer of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer in this Agreement or any Related Agreement or any certificate delivered by Buyer in connection with this Agreement or any Related Agreement or the Closing;
(3) any obligation or liability of any kind associated in any way with or attributable to Buyer that is an Assumed Liability, including any and all obligations or Liabilities related to or arising from the operation of the Mac Nut Business or the ownership of the Purchased Assets and the Leased Assets from and after the Closing (including Liabilities or obligations relating to environmental and worker health and safety compliance matters occurring on or after the Closing Date);

8.3 Procedure for Indemnification
(a) If any Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee seeks indemnification under Section 8.2, such party (the “Indemnified Party”) must give written notice to Buyer or Seller, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Claim (a “Claim Notice”), as promptly as practicable, but in any event (1) before the expiration of the survival period for such Claim as provided in Section 8.1 and (2) if such Claim relates to the assertion against an Indemnified Party of any Claim or dispute by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), within 30 days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of written notice of a legal process relating to such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that, with respect to the time limits set forth in the foregoing clause (2), no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely
43
affected thereby. Any such Claim Notice must describe the nature of the Claim in reasonable detail to the extent known to the Indemnified Party, the amount thereof if then ascertainable, and the provision or provisions of this Agreement or any Related Agreements on which the Claim is based.
(b) Unless the Claim described in the Claim Notice is contested by the Indemnifying Party by written notice to the Indemnified Party, given within 20 days of the receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party is conclusively deemed to be entitled to indemnity for such Claim under this Article VIII. If, within that 20-day period, the Indemnifying Party contests the Claim in writing to the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party, acting in good faith, must attempt to reach agreement with respect to such Claim. If that agreement cannot be reached, then that Claim must be resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction unless earlier settled by the Parties. If the Parties reach agreement on such Claim, a memorandum setting forth such agreement must be prepared and signed by the Parties, and the amount of such settlement must be paid as provided therein.
(c) (i) Subject to Section 8.3(d), an Indemnifying Party has the right, upon written notice given to the Indemnified Party within 15 days after receipt of a Claim Notice relating to a Third Party Claim, to assume the defense or handling of such Third Party Claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, in which case the provisions of Section 8.3(c)(ii) govern.
(ii) The Indemnifying Party must select counsel to conduct the defense or handling of such Third Party Claim reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party must defend or handle such Third Party Claim in consultation with the Indemnified Party and in such manner as is reasonable under the circumstances and must keep the Indemnified Party timely apprised of the status of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party must not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, agree to a settlement of any Third Party Claim, unless (A) the settlement (I) is for monetary damages only, (II) is contained in a written agreement, and (III) provides an unconditional release and discharge of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has no reasonable, good faith objection to the form or substance of such discharge and release, and (B) the Indemnified Party must not have reasonably objected to any such settlement on the ground that the circumstances surrounding the settlement could adversely impact the business, operations, assets, liabilities (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise), condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Indemnified Party (which, with respect to Buyer, shall include the prospects of the Mac Nut Business or the Leased Assets or Purchased Assets) or could establish or contribute to a precedential custom or practice which could have a material adverse effect on the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party (which, with respect to Buyer, shall include the prospects of the Mac Nut Business or the Purchased Assets); provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party objects under the foregoing clause (B) to a proposed settlement that is bona fide and contained in writing and that would, but for such objection, have been final, valid and binding on the party or parties asserting such Third Party Claim, then the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party for indemnification in respect of such Third Party Claim (notwithstanding the amount of any later settlement or resolution thereof) is limited to the dollar amount of such proposed settlement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, under no circumstances does the Indemnifying Party have any authority to settle any Third Party Claim if such settlement would require any payment by or other obligation of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party
44
defends or handles such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party must cooperate with the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party is entitled to participate in the defense or handling of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Indemnified Party must not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), agree to a settlement of any Third Party Claim that is being defended and handled by the Indemnifying Party under this Section 8.3(c)(ii).
(d) (i) If (A) the Indemnifying Party does not give written notice to the Indemnified Party, within 15 days after receipt of the notice from the Indemnified Party of a Third Party Claim, stating that (1) the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense or handling of such Third Party Claim and (2) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges that any Losses or other obligations incurred by the Indemnified Party that may arise from such Third Party Claim constitute Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder (subject to the limitations in Section 8.2); (B) at any time the Indemnifying Party fails to carry out such defense or handling diligently and in such manner as is reasonable under the circumstances; (C) the Third Party Claim involves other than only money damages; (D) the circumstances surrounding the matter could, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, result in a material adverse impact on the business, operations, assets, liabilities (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise), condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any of the Indemnified Party (which, with respect to Buyer, shall include the prospects of the Mac Nut Business or the Leased Assets or Purchased Assets); (E) the matter involves or affects any Taxes or Tax Return of the Indemnified Party or an affiliated group of which the Indemnified Party is a member; or (F) the Indemnified Party has reasonably determined, upon advice of counsel, that having common counsel with the Indemnifying Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or that, upon advice of counsel, there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then the provisions of Section 8.3(d)(ii) govern.
(ii) The Indemnified Party may, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, select counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party to defend or handle such Third Party Claim in a manner that is reasonable under the circumstances; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party must keep the Indemnifying Party timely apprised of the status of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party must not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the Indemnified Party defends or handles such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party must cooperate with the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnified Party is entitled to participate in the defense or handling of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. In addition, in the event that the Indemnifying Party is not permitted to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim solely by virtue of clause (C) or (D) of paragraph (d)(i) above, then the Indemnifying Party is permitted to pursue, at its own expense, settlement discussions directly with any other parties involved in such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party must not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, agree to a settlement of any Third Party Claim, unless (A) the settlement is for monetary damages only, and with respect to Claims by any Indemnified Party provides an unconditional release and discharge of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has no reasonable good faith objection to the form or substance of such discharge and release and (B) the Indemnified Party must not have reasonably objected
45
to any such settlement on the ground that the circumstances surrounding the settlement could adversely impact the business, operations, assets, liabilities (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise), condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Indemnified Party (which, with respect to Buyer, shall include the prospects of the Mac Nut Business or the Leased Assets or Purchased Assets) or could establish or contribute to a precedential custom or practice which could have a Material Adverse Effect on the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party (which, with respect to Buyer, shall include the interests of the Mac Nut Business or the Purchased Assets); provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party objects under the foregoing clause (B) to a proposed settlement that is bona fide and contained in writing and that would, but for such objection, have been final, valid and binding on the party or parties asserting such Third Party Claim, then the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party for indemnification in respect of such Third Party Claim (notwithstanding the amount of any later settlement or resolution thereof) is limited to the dollar amount of such proposed settlement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if such Losses are subject to the terms of the last paragraph of Section 8.2(a) or (b), as applicable, under no circumstances does the Indemnifying Party have any authority to settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement would require any payment by or other obligation of the Indemnified Party or any other party.
(iii) The aggregate maximum of all Losses of Buyer Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees, respectively, shall not exceed Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), unless such Losses arise out of, relate to or result from (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Seller or Buyer, respectively, (ii) Assumed Liabilities, (iii) Excluded Assets, (iv) the calculation, payment or issuance of any consideration payable to Seller under this Agreement or any Related Agreement (including cash or the Units), or (v) the failure by Seller to deliver to Buyer possession or ownership, as applicable, of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Hawaii.
10.14 Construction
(a) The Parties have negotiated this Agreement as Persons of equal sophistication and equal bargaining power; the rule of interpreting ambiguities against the drafter therefore is inapplicable. This Agreement is to be fairly and equitably construed as the joint product of the Parties.

(g) Where specific language is used to clarify or illustrate by example a general statement contained herein, such specific language is not deemed to modify, limit, or restrict the construction of the general statement that is being clarified or illustrated.
(h) All Schedules and Exhibits, if any, described in this Agreement and attached hereto are by this reference incorporated fully herein; the words “this Agreement” must be considered to include all such Schedules and Exhibits, if any.
10.15 Partial Invalidity

52
10.21 Dispute Resolution

If there is any Dispute asserted by either Party before the Closing Date, then, to the extent permitted by Law, the Parties agree that all actions or Proceedings arising in connection with that Dispute must be tried and litigated only in the state and federal courts located in the State of Hawaii. That choice of venue is mandatory and not permissive in nature, thereby precluding the possibility of jurisdiction or venue other than specified in this Section 10.21(b). To the extent permitted by law, (a) the Parties hereby waive any right each may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to venue for any Proceeding brought in accordance with this Section 10.21(b); and (b) the Parties stipulate that the state and federal courts located in the State of Hawaii will have in personam jurisdiction and venue over the Parties for the litigation of any Dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement asserted by either Party before the Closing Date.

(i) Subject to Lessee’s rights under Section 4.07, all water rights of Lessor pertaining to the Premises as delineated in Section 4.07 along with a reasonable right to enter the Premises for purposes of using such rights and of locating the existence of any additional water resources and the right to create Easement Areas in connection therewith, and to construct, reconstruct, install, lay, maintain, operate, repair, replace and use water xxxxx, reservoirs, ditches, and any other related or other equipment and facilities for the development, transmission and utilization of any water resources on the Premises in the manner as set forth in Section 4.07
3
hereof. These water rights do not include the right to use the present water system except as set forth in Section 4.07. The right to develop additional water sources shall be controlled in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.07.
(j) The right to designate any existing easement as an Easement Area. Such Easement Areas shall be designated only upon portions of the Premises which are required for infrastructure, such as roads, water lines, utility lines, etc. Such Easement Areas shall not be Excluded Areas and shall be available for use by both Lessor and Lessee.
(k) The right to assign to any person, persons, or entity, including, without limitation, any Association or limited partnership, in whole or in part, who purchases any portion of the Excluded Areas, the rights to use the Easement Areas. Such Easement Areas shall be appurtenant to and run with the land.
(l) The Lessor shall have the right to sell the Premises to any person, persons, or entity, including, without limitation, any Association or limited partnership, in whole or in part, subject to the Lease. In such event both the Lessor and Lessee shall retain the rights and be subject to the obligations contained in this Lease; provided, however, that no such partial transfer of the Premises shall be permitted if, regardless of the number of such transfers by Lessor or its permitted transferees, the total number of persons or entities possessing ownership rights in the Premises is greater than five (5); provided, further, that there shall never be more than one (1) person or entity with the right to exercise the rights of Lessor under this Lease.
For the avoidance of doubt, no exercise by Lessor of its Reserved Rights shall result in the withdrawal from the Lease of areas in excess of the limitations set forth in Section 4.12(B) and shall be exercised by Lessor only to the extent necessary, appropriate or incidental to the exercise of its development rights under Section 4.12. Lessee hereby agrees, if so required by law, to join in and execute and deliver any instruments or documents as may be reasonably requested by Lessor from time to time in order to create, confirm, implement or facilitate the Reserved Rights of Lessor hereinabove or otherwise set forth this Lease, including, without limitation, documents or instruments respecting the creation of any Easement Areas and/or Excluded Areas.
The Lessor shall make all plans, whether plans for easements, development plans, subdivision plans, or any other plan which might affect the Lessee, available to Lessee for review prior to the implementation of such plans. Lessor agrees to explain such plans to the Lessee and the reasons for such plans. Lessee shall have the opportunity to discuss such plans with the Lessor for the purpose of giving the Lessor its views on whether or not such plans will interfere with agricultural operations of the Lessee. The Lessor may implement any plans on Excluded Areas without consent of the Lessee. If such plans involve the Premises, such plans shall not be pursued without the consent of the Lessee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
1.3 Designation of Excluded Areas. In addition to the reserved rights of Lessor under Section 1.02 above and under any other provision of this Lease, Lessor shall have the right, from time to time, to withdraw certain portions of the Premises from the Lease, all as set forth in Section 4.12(B). Such withdrawn areas shall be referred to as “Excluded Areas”. Upon
4
such withdrawal and designation, Lessee shall not, unless specifically provided in this Lease, have any further rights or obligations with respect to such Excluded Areas, and Lessee agrees that it shall not be entitled to enter or use such Excluded Areas without the written permission of Lessor or any successor owner of a portion of the Premises including the Excluded Areas; provided, however, that such designation shall not in any way reduce any of Lessee’s rights and obligations hereunder with respect to the remaining portions of the Premises not so withdrawn, and shall not entitle Lessee to the refund of any rent or other money previously paid by the Lessee or owed by the Lessee for rent up to the effective date of the withdrawal.

LEASE RENTAL
3.1 Time, Manner and Place of Payment. During the first year, of the Term hereof, there shall be no lease rent due and payable. Thereafter, for the balance of the Term hereof, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor lease rent in the amount of U.S. Dollars Seventy-Eight & 12½ 100ths ($78.125) per acre under this Lease for each twelve (12) month period for the remaining term of the Lease. For purposes of the payment of rental under this Lease only, and notwithstanding any survey, document, appraisal, opinion or other document to the contrary, the acreage of the Premises shall be deemed to be Three Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-Eight (3,998) acres upon the Commencement Date hereof. The rental due hereunder shall be reduced to the extent and at the time acreage is removed from or reduced under this Lease pursuant to Section 4.12(B) herein. The Lessee shall pay the lease rent in legal money of the United States at the office of the Lessor in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each month during the Term, except for the first twelve (12) months. Lease rent for a full month shall be due for the last month of the Lease, even though the Lease for the last month of the Lease is for a term, which is one (1) day short of a full month. Accordingly, the lease rent for each month of the Lease, commencing on the first (1st) day of the thirteenth (13th) month of the Lease shall be U.S. Dollars Twenty-Six Thousand Twenty-Eight & 65/100ths ($26,028.65) per month.
3.2 General Excise Tax. Lessee will also pay to Lessor at the time and together with each payment of rent which is subject to GET, an amount which, when added to rent (whether actually or constructively received by Lessor), shall yield to Lessor, after deduction of the GET, an amount equal to that which Lessor would have realized had no such GET been imposed. “GET” means the State of Hawaii general excise tax on gross income, any sales or value added taxes under any successor, similar or new federal, state or county law which may be hereafter enacted, on account of the receipt, actual or constructive, by Lessor of the rental payments, reimbursement of gross income taxes, and any other taxable gross income attributable to the
5
Premises or this Lease. For purpose of illustration only, the amount of such tax is presently four percent (4%), resulting in an additional amount to paid by Lessee to Lessor of 4.166%.
3.3 Property and Conveyance Taxes. Lessee shall pay directly to the taxing authority before they become delinquent all property taxes and assessments of every description to which the Premises or improvements on the Premises (excluding all such taxes on an Excluded Area and any areas designated for development or being developed by Lessor pursuant to Section 4.12 below) are now or during the Term of this Lease may be assessed or may become liable, whether assessed to or payable by Lessor or Lessee, which property taxes and assessments shall be prorated as of the Commencement Date of this Lease. Lessee shall also pay when due all conveyance taxes imposed by the State of Hawaii in respect of this Lease, although the parties currently believe that no such conveyance taxes will be due. Lessee shall be responsible for the payment for all interest, fees and penalties payable due to the late payment or nonpayment of any of the taxes described in this Section 3.03. This Lease is a “triple net lease” or a “net, net, net lease” as such terms are normally used in the real property leasing industry, and unless an expense relating to the Premises is specifically provided herein to be borne by Lessor, it shall be borne by Lessee.
If all or a portion of the Premises is now or shall hereafter be dedicated for agricultural use or classified for non dedicated agricultural use assessment under the provisions of the Hawaii County Code, and if at any time after such dedication or classification either Lessor or Lessee shall fail to observe the restrictions on the use of such portion of the Premises or shall cancel or cause such dedication or classification to be cancelled for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, Lessee’s failure to farm any portion of the Premises or Lessor’s development of the Premises), or shall otherwise cause a deferred or roll back tax to be imposed, the party whose act or omission caused such dedication or classification to be cancelled shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to the other party all taxes, roll back taxes, penalties and other charges imposed by the County of Hawaii and paid or to be paid by such party. This obligation shall survive termination of the Lease.
3.4 Financial Covenants. For the term of the Lease, Guarantor on a consolidated basis (or its successors and permitted assigns) shall at all times maintain a net worth equal to or greater than FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00), determined in accordance with GAAP. Upon the execution of this Lease and on a yearly basis during the Term, Guarantor (or its successors and permitted assigns) shall provide to Lessor a copy of its unaudited consolidated financial statements certified for accuracy by an executive officer or other senior manager of such person or entity.

IV.
CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY LESSEE AND LESSOR
4.1 Use. Lessee shall use the Premises for the purpose of farming, cultivating, irrigating, fertilizing, maintaining, harvesting, or otherwise dealing with the existing macadamia nut trees on the Premises (collectively, the “Orchards”) and any additional macadamia nut trees, nursery stock, supplies, crops or nuts; and conducting any lawful and incidental activities related to the foregoing uses, including, without limitation, housing of employees, migrant workers or
6
other individuals that have a non-recreational business relationship with Lessee; provided, however, that Lessee shall not be permitted in any circumstances to use the Premises for any retail sales of products or other use of the Premises which would otherwise materially increase the number of persons entering the Premises, except, that nothing herein shall preclude Lessee from increasing the number of employees, workers, or contractors entering the Premises in connection with Lessee’s operations. Lessee shall use the irrigation and water systems solely for the irrigation and servicing of the Orchards and other portions of the Premises. Lessee’s use of the Premises shall also be in accordance with the remaining sections of this Article IV. Lessee shall not use or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used for any other purpose or use other than those for which the Premises have been leased and in the manner provided in this Lease, unless otherwise from time to time mutually agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. Subject to Lessor’s obligations under this Lease, Lessee agrees to repair and maintain the irrigation system in good working condition suitable for irrigation of the Orchards, subject only to Force Majeure Events (as defined in Article XIII).
4.2 Observance of Laws. Lessee will at all times comply with all Laws (as defined below) now or hereafter applicable to or affecting the Premises. Lessee will at Lessee’s expense during the Term alter, maintain or restore the Premises in compliance with all Laws relating to the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises and as permitted under the Lease. Lessee will at all times during the Term of this Lease keep the Premises in a condition in conformity with normal farming operations subject to the additional provisions of Section 4.04.
4.3 Waste or Nuisance. Lessee shall not use the Premises in any manner that will constitute unlawful or unreasonable waste, unlawful nuisance or other improper or unlawful use of the Premises.
4.4 Good Husbandry and Care of Orchards. Lessee believes that substantial portions of the Premises may not be worth cultivating at any given time in accordance with normal good husbandry standards in that the cost of cultivation, irrigation, and harvesting may exceed the value of the harvested nuts wet-in-shell at the time. Such acres may be designated by Lessee from time to time in its sole discretion and will be termed the “Uneconomical Acres”. Lessee shall not be held to normal standards of good husbandry on the Uneconomical Acres. Lessee in its sole discretion will determine which portion of the Premises it will cultivate. Nevertheless, Lessee shall in its reasonable discretion: (a) use reasonable diligence in attempting to prevent trees from dying on the Uneconomical Acres; (b) irrigate all trees on the Uneconomical Acres to the extent that water of reasonable salinity is available after the remainder of the operating orchards have been irrigated and to the extent that irrigation is necessary to preserve the life of the trees; and (c) exercise sufficient good husbandry so that the Lessee or Lessor will be able to return the trees to normal productivity status if the acres become economical again. Lessee, at its sole expense and at its sole discretion, shall replace any and all dead, dying, damaged or destroyed macadamia nut trees with new macadamia nursery stock.
4.5 Condition of the Premises. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS LEASE, LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LESSEE HAS MADE ALL OF THE INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS THAT LESSEE DEEMS NECESSARY OR DESIRABLE AND HAS DECIDED TO LEASE THE PREMISES ON THE BASIS SET FORTH HEREIN. LESSEE HAS INSPECTED THE PREMISES AND THE
7
CURRENT PHYSICAL CONDITION THEREOF, AND SHALL RELY ON ITS OWN INSPECTION AND SHALL ACCEPT THE PREMISES “AS-IS” AND IN THEIR CONDITION AS OF THE DATE HEREOF. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS LEASE, LESSEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LESSOR HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OR STATE OF REPAIR OF THE PREMISES, THE MACADAMIA NUT TREES, OR ANY IMPROVEMENTS THEREON (INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES WHICH MAY BE DEEMED MADE AT LAW, THE BENEFIT OF WHICH, IF ANY, LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES) OR AS TO THE USE, MERCHANTABILITY, DESIGN, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, DURABILITY, OPERATION OR FITNESS FOR USE OF THE PREMISES OR AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE PREMISES, THE MACADAMIA NUT TREES OR ANY IMPROVEMENTS THEREON.
4.6 Utilities and Permits. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Lessee shall be solely responsible for obtaining at Lessee’s expense (A) all utility services and connections and any other services or facilities, including but not limited to water, sewer, electricity and telephone service, required for or in connection with Lessee’s use of the Premises, and (B) any governmental classification, zoning, permits, approval, or consent required by law for or in connection with the use of the Premises. All utility charges to the Premises in any manner shall be the sole costs and expense of the Lessee during the entire Term.
4.7 Water. The existing irrigation system is a portion of the Premises leased by the Lessor to the Lessee as part of this Lease. The system includes Well Xx. 0 (Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx Xx. 0000-00) and the Okoe Well (Hawaii State Well No. 0953-01). The operation of the system includes pumping of water from the xxxxx and the delivery of such water to the portions of the Orchards which are makai of the government road. Under ordinary circumstances the salinity of the water is such that it is not potable for human consumption and has salinity which often approaches levels which have too much salinity for irrigation purposes. If there is too much pumping, salinity may rise to levels where the water cannot be used for irrigation. Lessee shall have the right to use the irrigation system located on the Premises and shall have the reasonable use of any and all water sources on the Premises including, without limitation, water for purposes of irrigating the Orchards and conducting Lessee’s operations. Lessee shall be responsible for the operation, maintenance, and repair of the irrigation system and all facilities and equipment utilized in connection therewith at its sole cost, risk, and expense at the same or better standards at which such system, xxxxx, facilities and equipment are being operated, maintained and repaired as of the date hereof, reasonable wear and tear excluded.
By execution of this Lease and subject to Lessor’s rights to use water herein as set forth below, all water supply agreements (if any) held by Lessor, with all rights and obligations attendant thereto, are hereby leased by Lessor to Lessee.
This Lease is subject to the rights of Lessor to draw water from any source on the Premises, including, without limitation, Well No. 1 and the Okoe Well, in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Lessor shall be allowed reasonable use of any and all water sources located on the Premises along with reasonable use of the existing irrigation system located on the Premises; provided, that: (a) unless otherwise agreed to by Lessor and Lessee, Lessor’s reasonable use of the water from Well No. 1 and the Okoe Well shall not exceed more than FIVE
8
PERCENT (5%) of the total available water from such xxxxx, from time to time; and (b) Lessor’s reasonable use includes the use of such water from Well No. 1 and the Okoe Well for its development activities on any Excluded Areas. For purposes of this Section 4.07, “available water” or “water available”, as to the two xxxxx referenced herein, means that amount of water actually available from Well No. 1 and the Okoe Well (whether or not actually drawn) as determined based on good hydrological practices and applicable governmental rules and regulations. Lessor agrees that in consideration of the costs incurred by Lessee in maintaining and operating Well No. 1 and the Okoe Well and the related facilities, it shall pay to Lessee a mutually agreeable sum per gallon of water actually drawn by Lessor from the Premises.
Lessor assumes no responsibility to Lessee for any shortage or unavailability of water from the source or sources of water on the Premises, from Well No. 1 or the Okoe Well, or from any source whatsoever; nor does Lessor warrant the quality or quantity of water obtained from any source or sources. Lessee shall pay all acquisition, operation, and maintenance, repair, diversion and dispersion costs and charges and/or water charges incurred with the use of water used on the Premises for whatever purpose or purposes, including, without limitation, the irrigation system, Well No. 1 and the Okoe Well. With respect to water drawn by Lessor, Lessee does not represent or warrant to Lessor the quality or quantity of such water.
During the term of this Lease, if Lessee or Lessor determines, in its respective reasonable discretion, that Well No. 1 and the Okoe Well do not produce water in sufficient quantity or of sufficient quality to fully-irrigate the Premises, or if water is unavailable from such sources for any reason whatsoever, for the purposes set forth herein, Lessee and Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to reasonably explore the Premises (with such right being held exclusively by Lessor as to any Excluded Area) for additional water sources and, subject to the provisions of Article VI, to develop an additional well or xxxxx from which to draw water for Lessor’s or Lessee’s purposes. Such right shall include the right to conduct such testing of the Premises (with such right being held exclusively by Lessor as to any Excluded Area) to locate additional water sources, drill test xxxxx, obtain any necessary permits and approvals, and to construct necessary improvements related thereto; provided, however, that no such new water facility shall be permitted to be located closer than one thousand five hundred (1,500) feet to any existing residential dwelling, a proposed residential dwelling or the border of any Excluded Area, and no well shall be drilled if a drilling study commissioned by Lessor and performed by a engineer or hydrologist licensed in the state of Hawaii deems, in his reasonable professional opinion, that the new well will increase the salinity level of water pumped from Well No. 1 and the Okoe Well to levels unacceptable for farming, cultivating and irrigating macadamia nut trees. Lessee shall have a non-exclusive right to any new water source established after the date hereof and located on any Excluded Area (even if such new water source was established prior to the designation of such Excluded Area), provided that Lessor has excess capacity (in its sole discretion) and is willing to enter into an agreement regarding such non-exclusive right with Lessee. Any and all costs and expenses of developing any such irrigation facilities, well equipment or other such improvements, including costs of exploring for water, testing, design, permits and approvals and construction shall be borne by the party seeking such source or as otherwise agreed by the Lessor and Lessee. Each party shall provide the other party with copies of any and all water-related studies and surveys that are prepared by or for the first party in connection with these exploration and development rights within thirty (30) days of their preparation.

For and during the term of this Lease, Lessor agrees, subject to the foregoing provisions and disclaimers, and without representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever, to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and renew as necessary all permits, licenses, contracts, easements, and agreements relating to Lessor’s rights to access, use, deliver and maintain water, Well No. 1, and the Okoe Well in full force and effect and to notify Lessee within five (5) business days of the occurrence of any event which results in or threatens the termination, suspension or avoidance of any such permit, license, contract, easement or agreement. For and during the term of this Lease, Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor for fifty percent (50%) of Lessor’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) associated with such actions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section or any other Section of this Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledges, confirms, and agrees that Lessor has not made any, and makes no, representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever as to any right or authority of Lessor to make water available to Lessee hereunder; provided, however, that Lessor agrees to cooperate with Lessee, and to use commercially reasonable efforts, to secure all rights which may be necessary or appropriate in connection with creating and/or confirming the right of Lessee to have access to Well No. 1 and Okoe Well for purposes of maintaining, operating and repairing such xxxxx and all related facilities and equipment as contemplated hereunder, or to create and/or confirm the right of Lessee to use water from Well No. 1 and Okoe Well that is otherwise provided or made available to Lessee by Lessor for the purposes contemplated hereunder; provided further that Lessee agrees to pay FIFTY PERCENT (50%) of any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lessor in connection with the creation and/or confirmation of any such rights.
In the event that a Force Majeure Event destroys the well, or a substantial portion of the irrigation system, the Lessee shall not be required to replace or repair the system; provided, however, any insurance proceeds due Lessor will be paid per Article IX.
4.8 Roads Within the Leased Parcel. The existing roads within the Premises have been leased to the Lessee. Lessor shall be entitled to use any and all existing roadways, pathways and the like within the Premises; provided, however, Lessor acknowledges and agrees that the roads will be maintained by Lessee as agricultural roads suitable for use by four wheel drive vehicles and farming vehicles and machinery and any use by Lessor, or Lessor’s contractors, employees, agents and guests, shall be solely at their own risk. In the event that any new roads are designated by Lessor as an Excluded Area, Lessee shall no longer be entitled to use such roads, subject to Lessee’s rights to continued reasonable access to the entire Premises under Section 4.12(B). Lessee shall maintain all such roadways within the Premises at its sole cost and expense unless designated as an Excluded Area. Lessee may also build and repair at Lessee’s sole cost and expense such additional roads, pathways and the like within the Premises, as it believes necessary for the operation contemplated by this Lease, but only after the road locations have been previously approved in writing by Lessor. Lessee shall maintain all roads on the Premises in a safe condition and in compliance with law in accordance with standards for agricultural roads within a macadamia nut orchard. Lessor shall be entitled to improve such roads at its expense, and Lessee shall be entitled to use such improved roads.
10
4.9 Access. Lessee shall have the right to exercise its reasonable discretion to prohibit any persons from entering or remaining on the Premises except persons expressly or impliedly authorized by Lessor to have access thereto in connection with their usage rights set forth in Section 1.02 or elsewhere in this Lease.
4.10 Lessee’s Investments and Expenses. Lessee agrees to pay for all the machinery, equipment, labor and all other costs and expenses reasonably necessary to properly utilize and maintain the Premises and the Orchards as herein provided.
4.11 Noxious Weeds; Pests. As provided for in Section 4.04, Lessee may designate Uneconomical Acres. Lessee will diligently endeavor to control the growth and spread of noxious weeds and grasses and rodents and other pests on the Premises in accordance with normal practices observed by farmers of macadamia nut orchards on all portions excluding the Uneconomical Acres. Lessee has the right, to provide the Uneconomical Acres with minimal maintenance except for irrigation as provided for in Section 4.04. Lessee will endeavor to keep all such noxious weeds and grass on areas that Lessee is farming from going to seed and to prevent as far as reasonably possible the introduction of such noxious weeds and grasses not already present. Lessee will endeavor to control all such noxious weeds and grasses now existing or hereafter growing by constant use according to the practices of good husbandry of the most practical means of control. Any pesticides shall be used in a manner and in a quantity as is mandated by instructions on the manufacturer’s label and by any federal, state or other governmental body asserting jurisdiction over such matters. Any operation for the control of noxious weeds and grasses and rodents and other pests utilizing poison that is identified from time to time as a “Restricted Use Products” or “Restricted Use Pesticides” by the United States Environmental Protection Agency or the Hawaii Department of Agriculture (or other similar agency) shall be done in accordance with instructions on the manufacturer’s label and health and safety standards as may be established from time to time by any federal, state or other governmental body asserting jurisdiction over such matters.
4.12 Development of the Premises by Lessor.
(a) Development and Cooperation. Lessor intends (and reserves the right), from time to time throughout the Term of this Lease, to develop portions of the Premises for residential, recreational, commercial or other purposes. Lessee shall reasonably cooperate with Lessor, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause their respective affiliates, officers, employees, agents and representatives reasonably to cooperate with Lessor, in connection with Lessor’s efforts to investigate, study, plan and implement any of the development activities intended by Lessor so long as such cooperation does not cause Lessee to incur any liability or cost or expense associated therewith. As plans for any such development activities progress, Lessor shall provide periodic status updates to Lessee, shall provide status updates to Lessee when reasonably requested by Lessee, and when appropriate (in Lessor’s sole judgment) will solicit input from Lessee on the specific details of any particular development plan. Lessee shall join in, if required to do so by government authorities, applications, documents, and instruments that may be reasonably requested by Lessor or required in connection with Lessor’s efforts to develop the Premises and secure any permits, approvals, or entitlements of any kind or nature whatsoever related to such development; provided, however, that: (a) Lessee shall not be required to incur
11
any liability or cost or expense associated therewith, and (b) Lessee shall remain neutral and not oppose any such applications.
(b) Reduction of Acreage under Lease and Trees in the Orchards. In connection with any contemplated development activities undertaken pursuant to Section 4.12, Lessor anticipates that it will be required during the Term of this Lease to reduce the number of acres subject to this Lease by removing such acreage from this Lease (such removed acreage is referred to herein as an “Excluded Area”). Lessor and Lessee agree that no acreage will be withdrawn from the lease prior to March 1, 2008. On or before October 1, 2007, Lessor will advise Lessee of any acreage which it wishes to withdraw from the lease on March 1, 2008. The Lessor shall provide the Lessee with the development plan, together with a survey and all required governmental permits. Lessee shall have the opportunity to discuss such proposed withdrawal with the Lessor for the purpose of advising the Lessor of adverse consequences to the Lessee, if any. The acres as finally determined shall be withdrawn from the Lease effective March 1, 2008. Similar notices and withdrawal dates shall be applicable to the following years. Lessor shall have the right by such withdrawal to reduce the number of acres leased to Lessee under this Lease up to the maximum yearly amount of Four Hundred (400) acres and to remove such proposed Excluded Area from the Lease effective as of March 1 of each year, except for the year 2007. The location, delineation and selection of any such Excluded Area shall be made at the sole and absolute discretion of the Lessor, and Lessor shall, upon the effective date of the removal of such Excluded Area from the Lease, have the right to commence development activities thereon, including, without limitation, the removal of any and all trees (including macadamia nut trees), shrubs or other growth from the Excluded Area. Lessor may elect to remove up to 400 acres per year from this Lease (except for the year 2007 and upon compliance with the terms hereof) without regard to contiguity or proximity and in varying parcels with the exception that (i) each and every tract of land removed from this Lease shall contain a minimum of One Hundred (100) acres and (ii) the removal of any tract of land shall not materially diminish or hinder Lessee’s ability to farm the remaining land subject to this Lease. In addition, in the event Lessor elects to remove less than the annual limit of 400 acres per year during any year of this Lease, any acreage less than the 400 acre maximum shall be cumulative and Lessor shall be allowed to remove the differential in acreage during any following year or any other year of the Term of this Lease. It is the intent and understanding of both Lessee and Lessor that any acreage allowed to be removed hereunder by Lessor, which is not so removed by Lessor in the applicable year, shall rollover and shall be cumulative in nature and shall be available to Lessor during any subsequent year of the Term of this Lease so long as the cumulative removals of Lessor under this Lease do not exceed 400 acres per year (maximum of 1,600 acres during the Term hereof). Lessor shall not designate any portion of the Premises as an Excluded Area without providing Lessee the right to continued reasonable access to the entire Premises. Upon the effective date of the removal of any Excluded Area from this Lease, Lessee’s rental payments hereunder shall be proportionately reduced by the number of acres removed from this Lease divided by 3,998. Lessee shall at no time have any claim against Lessor for any loss of profits or similar claim related to Lessor’s removal of acreage from this Lease.
(c) Infrastructure Facilities. As otherwise provided herein, Lessor shall have the right, at its expense and at any time during the Term of this Lease, to enhance or develop, or cause to be enhanced or developed, the Premises’ infrastructure facilities (including but not limited to roads, bridges, sewers, water xxxxx, fences and utility services). Lessee shall have the
12
right to use such enhanced facilities unless they are within an Excluded Area. Lessee shall reasonably cooperate with Lessor’s reasonable requests to trim limbs or branches of any trees in an agriculturally sound manner, to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate by Lessor to assure effective and safe use of any such enhancements or developments; provided, however, that Lessee shall not be required to undertake any such action except at Lessor’s expense; and provided, further, that Lessee shall only be required to cooperate with such requests from Lessor during the months of January and February.
(d) Requirements of Development Activities and Reserved Rights. In exercising Lessor’s rights to develop the Premises under this Section 4.12 and other provisions of this Lease and in exercising its Reserved Rights, Lessor agrees that (i) it shall make reasonable efforts to make development plans available to Lessee for review prior to implementation and to discuss such plans with Lessee for the purpose of understanding Lessee’s views on whether or not such plans might interfere with the agricultural operations of Lessee (provided that Lessee shall not be granted any consent or approval rights pursuant to this Section 4.12(D)), (ii) it shall not adversely and materially interfere with Lessee’s rights under this Lease, operations or use of the Premises, (iii) the exercise of such rights shall not result in any material costs and expenses to Lessee for which Lessor does not agree to reimburse Lessee, (iv) it shall comply in all material respects with all laws relating to its activities and obtain any governmental classification, zoning, permits, approval, or consent required by law or otherwise necessary for or in connection with its activities.
4.13 Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor hereby covenants with Lessee, that so long as Lessee fully and timely performs its obligations under the Lease, including, but not limited to, the timely payment of lease rent and all other monetary obligations thereunder, Lessee shall have quiet enjoyment of the Premises against all persons and entities holding title by, through, or under Lessor, including Lessor’s lenders, and Lessor hereby covenants that it will secure from its lenders in favor of Lessee, such lenders’ non-disturbance and attornment agreement.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
5.1 No Use of Hazardous Materials. In addition to Lessor consent requirements for the use of “Restricted Use Products” or “Restricted Use Pesticides” set forth in Section 4.11, Lessee will not use, generate, manufacture, treat, handle, refine, produce, process, store, discharge, release, dispose of or allow to exist on, within, under or about the Premises, any Hazardous Material, unless (A) such material is used in the ordinary course of Lessee’s operations on the Premises, and (B) such use is in full and strict compliance with all instructions on the manufacturer’s label and all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws.

Lessor agrees to join in and execute, if required to do so by government authorities, any application for permits or other approvals or authorizations relating to any

16
approvals, or entitlements of any kind or nature whatsoever.

(b) All policies of insurance required to be provided by Lessee under this Section 9.01 shall:
(1) Include an endorsement providing that inclusion of more than one entity as insured under any such policy shall in no way prejudice the right of any other insured entity as respects any claim, demand, suit or judgment made or brought by or in favor of any other insured entity, so that the policy shall protect each entity in the same manner as though a separate policy had been issued to each entity;
(2) Include an endorsement providing that Lessor, although named as an insured, shall be entitled to recover under the policies for any loss to Lessor, or Lessor’s employees, agents, or contractors (and other Indemnified Parties), notwithstanding the negligence of Lessee.
(3) Cover the whole of the Premises, and the business operated by Lessee and/or any further sublessee within the Premises and any act or omission of any employee of Lessee and any event involving any employee of Lessee which occurs at any other portion of the Premises and which occurs in the course of such employee’s employment with Lessee.
(4) Acknowledge the indemnity obligations of Lessee under Article VIII.
20
9.2 Payment of Premiums and Delivery of Policies. Lessee shall pay all premiums and all fees and expenses for the insurance required by this Lease when due and will deliver true and correct copies of all policies of insurance, as well as certificates of insurance evidencing the coverages required herein, to Lessor together with evidence of payment of the premiums satisfactory to Lessor within twenty (20) days prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease. If Lessee has not provided the required insurance certificates within thirty (30) days of Lessor’s notice to Lessee to provide such certificates, Lessor may exclude Lessee from occupancy of the Premises until the required insurance certificates have been provided to Lessor. Lessee (i) shall deliver certificates of insurance evidencing the coverages required herein not less than twenty (20) days prior to the expiration dates of expiring policies and (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver copies of replacement policies or renewals not less than sixty (60) days after the effectiveness of such replacement policies or renewals. Binders binding the issuance of policies of insurance for the coverage specified in this Article IX shall be accepted by Lessor if such policies are not obtainable by Lessee at the time in question due to any building or improvement being in the course of construction or other cause of temporary duration.
9.3 Review of Coverage. Lessee acknowledges that inflation may reduce the effective value of coverage, that terms of insurance contracts or endorsements may be revised, that the types of insurance contemplated by this Lease may become unavailable or that other circumstances may arise which affect or threaten to affect the protection to be afforded by the insurance required by this Lease. Accordingly, the adequacy of the coverage afforded by the insurance shall be subject to review by Lessor from time to time, and if Lessor reasonably determines at any time or times that a prudent businessman in Hawaii utilizing the Premises in a manner similar to the use of the Premises by Lessee would increase the limits of liability or would insure the property against additional perils when such insurance is available in Hawaii, Lessee shall forthwith procure and maintain such other or additional forms and amounts of insurance as Lessor finds sufficient.
9.4 Policies. All the insurance required under this Lease:
(a) Shall be effected by policies issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Hawaii with a general policy holders rating of “A-” or better, and with a financial size category of Class VI or better, as rated in the most recent edition of Best’s Insurance Reports.
(b) Be issued as a primary policy and not contributing with, and not in excess of coverage which Lessor may carry.
(c) Contain an endorsement requiring thirty (30) days’ prior written notice from the insurance company to both Lessor and Lessee before cancellation or change in the coverage, scope, or amount of any policy.
(d) In the case of liability insurance, a maximum TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000.00) deductible.
(e) Be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.
21
(f) (F) Shall name Lessee as the insured party and Lessor as an additional insured, but subject nevertheless to the loss-payee provisions and provisions relative to the disposition of insurance proceeds stated in this Article IX.
(g) Be in amounts sufficient to prevent the insured from being a co-insurer within the terms of applicable policies.
9.5 Failure to Provide Insurance.
(a) If Lessee defaults in insuring the Premises or in delivering the policies (and certificates), Lessor may, at Lessor’s option but without being so obligated, effect such insurance from year to year and pay the premiums, and Lessee will reimburse Lessor on demand for any premiums so paid with interest from the time of payment at the rate from of one percent (1%) per month. The procurement by Lessor of any insurance required to be carried by Lessee shall not release Lessee from its obligation to obtain the insurance required by this Lease nor prejudice Lessor’s exercise of its remedies under this Lease for Lessee’s failure to obtain insurance.
(b) Lessor shall not have any liability to Lessee for the coverage or quality of any insurance required to be carried by Lessee or for the collection of any insurance proceeds or for the insolvency of any insurer or insurance underwriter, and Lessee’s failure to maintain the insurance coverage require hereunder nor the inability to collect all or a part of such insurance shall not release Lessee from any of its obligations hereunder.
9.6 Subrogation. Lessor and Lessee release each other from any claims for damage to any person or to the Premises by, or that result from, risks insured against under any insurance policies carried by Lessor or Lessee and in force at the time of any such damage consistent with the requirements of this Lease and each agrees to look solely to and seek recovery from such insurance policies so long as such waiver of subrogation does not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder. Lessor and Lessee shall cause each insurance policy obtained by them to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against the other in connection with any damage covered by any policy.
9.7 Net Insurance Proceeds. Any proceeds from any casualty insurance maintained by Lessee for the macadamia nut trees in the Orchards and other improvements on the Premises used by Lessee in connection with this Lease arising out of or relating to any claim for damage to or destruction of such macadamia nut trees or such other improvements shall paid solely to Lessee and shall be used by Lessee solely for the timely repair and replacement of the insured property.
9.8 Lessor’s Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance.
(a) Throughout the Term of the Lease, Lessor shall maintain, at its cost, insurance for the mutual benefit of Lessor, Lessee and the Indemnified Parties against (i) all claims for personal injury, death and property damage arising out of and in connection with Lessor’s use, occupancy or operations with respect to the Premises and Excluded Areas, naming Lessee as an additional insured, and having bodily injury policy limits of not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) per person and ONE MILLION DOLLARS
22
($1,000,000.00) per occurrence in the aggregate and property damages limits of not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence in the aggregate; and (ii) general liability insurance.
(b) All policies of insurance required to be provided by Lessor under this Section 9.08 shall:
(1) Include an endorsement providing that inclusion of more than one entity as insured under any such policy shall in no way prejudice the right of any other insured entity as respects any claim, demand, suit or judgment made or brought by or in favor of any other insured entity, so that the policy shall protect each entity in the same manner as though a separate policy had been issued to each entity;
(2) Include an endorsement providing that Lessee, although named as an insured, shall be entitled to recover under the policies for any loss to Lessee, or Lessee’s employees, agents, or contractors (and other Indemnified Parties), notwithstanding the negligence of Lessor.
(3) Acknowledge the indemnity obligations of Lessor under Article VIII.

Any such termination shall be effective as of the last day of the calendar month next following the month in which such notice is given. Upon such a termination, Lessor shall have no obligation to refund to Lessee any rent or other monies paid by Lessee. Termination of this Lease by Lessor pursuant to this Section 10.04 shall not affect the respective rights of Lessor and Lessee to any Condemnation Award.
10.5 Distribution of Condemnation Award. Any Condemnation Award shall belong to and shall be paid to Lessor, and Lessee agrees that Lessor shall be solely entitled to pursue, negotiate, settle, or otherwise resolve any and all issues relating to the amount or nature of such Condemnation Award, and Lessee waives any rights in respect thereto or claims arising out of any decision or resolution of the matter approved or otherwise reached by Lessor; provided, however, that in the event the amount of any such Condemnation Award relates to any portion of the Premises that remains subject to the Lease at such time, then Lessor agrees to pay to Lessee a portion of such Condemnation Award equal to the sum of:
(a) The amount equal to the portion of the Condemnation Award expressly attributable to permanent, permitted improvements on the property made by Lessee at its sole cost and expense since the date hereof;
(b) The amount equal to the portion of the Condemnation Award expressly attributable to Lessee’s personal property, crops on macadamia nut trees (but not to the macadamia nut trees) and nursery stock on the Premises.

10.6 Temporary Taking.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease, Guarantor may not assign its obligations under this Lease without the prior consent of Lessor, which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed by Lessor in its sole discretion.
11.2 Subordination to All Present Encumbrances. This Lease and the rights of Lessee hereunder shall be subordinate to all present encumbrances.
11.3 Mortgage of Premises by Lessor. Subject to Section 4.13, this Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate, at all times, to the lien of any mortgage or mortgages or other encumbrances which may now or hereafter affect the Premises (or any portion thereof) and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof and to the interests thereon, and to any agreements of any kind at any time made, modifying, supplementing, extending or replacing any such mortgages.. Lessor agrees to promptly provide notice to Lessee of any such mortgage or other encumbrance and a complete copy thereof. Lessee further agrees that it shall attorn to the right to any lender, secured party or other purchaser who acquires title to the Premises (or any portion thereof) through foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and Lessee shall remain bound by the terms of this Lease and shall not have the right or option to terminate this Lease in the event title to the Premises (or any portion thereof) is acquired by any other party. At the request of Lessor, Lessee shall execute and deliver such further documents and instruments as may be reasonably requested by Lessor to confirm and implement the provisions of this Section 11.03.
11.4 Sale of Subdivided Lots. Lessee agrees that in addition to Lessor’s right to sell the entire Premises, Lessor has the right to sell any subdivided lot or lots (each a “Subdivided Lot”) within the Premises (including existing lots and lots resulting from any future subdivision or consolidation and resubdivision). Upon the sale of a Subdivided Lot, the portion of the Premises represented by such Subdivided Lot shall continue to be subject to this Lease;
25
provided, however, that Lessee agrees that any Subdivided Lot that has been withdrawn from this Lease as an Excluded Area shall no longer be subject to the terms of this Lease; and provided, further, that no such transfer of a Subdivided Lot shall be permitted if, regardless of the number of such transfers by Lessor or its permitted transferees, the total number of persons or entities possessing ownership rights in the Premises is greater than five (5); provided, further, that there shall never be more than one (1) person or entity with the right to exercise the rights of Lessor under this Lease.
11.5 Right to Estoppel Certificates. Either Lessor or Lessee, within fifteen (15) days after written request from one other, shall execute and deliver to such requesting party, in recordable form, a statement certifying in substance that (A) this Lease represents the entire agreement of Lessor and Lessee and is unmodified and in full force and effect, or in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modifications, (B) the amount of the lease rent, the dates to which the lease rent has been paid in advance, and the amount of any security deposit or prepaid lease rent, (C) there has been no transfer of this Lease nor Lessor’s or Lessee’s (as applicable) interest therein, and (D) there are not, to Lessor’s or Lessee’s (as applicable) knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Lessee or Lessor (as applicable) and that Lessor or Lessee (as applicable) has no right of offset, counterclaim or deduction against lease rent, or specifying such defaults, if any are claimed together with the amount of any alleged offset, counterclaim or deduction. Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or lender. Failure to deliver the certificate within the fifteen (15) days shall be conclusive upon the party upon whom such request was made failing to deliver the certificate of the foregoing certifications.
ARTICLE XII.
DEFAULT
12.1 Events of Default. The following events shall constitute events of default, in addition to any other events of default:
(a) If Lessee shall fail to pay any rent payments within ten (10) days after written notice by Lessor to Lessee that the same is due and payable, or Lessee shall fail to pay any tax payments, reimbursements, deposits or any other charges or payments due hereunder within ten (10) days after written notice to Lessee that the same shall become due and payable; or
(b) Without limitation to other provisions of this Section 12.01, if Lessee shall fail to perform or comply with any covenant, term or provision contained in this Lease (including, without limitation, the use, cooperation and maintenance provisions of Article IV, Article VII and elsewhere in this Lease), which failure shall not, within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof shall have been given to Lessee by Lessor, have been remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor or up to ninety (90) days if Lessee is diligently pursuing such cure if more than thirty (30) days is reasonably required to cure; provided, however, that with respect to a failure to perform or comply with any non-material covenant, term or provision contained in this Lease, if Lessee is diligently pursuing such cure after sixty (60) days and Lessee commenced diligent cure activities within thirty (30) days after notice thereof, Lessee
26
may make a written request not more than thirty (30) or less than fifteen (15) days prior to the end of such ninety (90) day period for a reasonable extension of such ninety (90) day period and Lessor shall approve such request in writing prior to the expiration of such ninety (90) day period unless such extension would have a materially adverse effect on Lessor or its ability to exercise any of its material rights under this Lease (including, without limitation, the Reserved Rights or Lessor’s rights to develop the Premises) and, in the event that Lessor shall fail to respond to such written request within fifteen (15) days, such request shall be deemed approved by Lessor; or
(c) If any material representation or warranty contained herein or any written representation or certificate to Lessor concerning the financial condition or credit standing of Lessee (or its successors and permitted assigns) proves to be materially false or misleading; or
(d) If any person obtains an order or decree in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining or prohibiting Lessee from performing any of its material obligations under this Lease and such proceedings are not discontinued and such decree is not vacated or stayed and timely appealed within ninety (90) days after the granting thereof; or
(e) If there shall be a pledge or mortgage of the uses and benefits contemplated by this Lease by Lessee without the prior written consent of Lessor, except in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.01; or
(f) If Lessee shall become insolvent, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing any inability to pay its debts as they become due, or shall be the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file any petition or answer seeking for itself any arrangement, composition, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief to which it may be entitled under any present or future Law, or shall file any answer admitting the material allegations of any petition filed against it in any such proceedings, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of all or a substantial part of its properties or assets, or, if the State of Hawaii or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction over Lessee shall dissolve Lessee or cancel, revoke, withdraw or approve the withdrawal of any charter, certificate, registration or authority to maintain Lessee’s existence or right to do business as a corporation in the State of Hawaii unless, in any such case, such event shall have been rescinded within thirty (30) days, or, within sixty (60) days after commencement of any proceedings against Lessee seeking any arrangement, composition, adjustment, or similar relief under any present or future Law, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed, or, within sixty (60) days after the appointment, without the consent or acquiescence of Lessee, of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of any or of all or a substantial part of its properties or assets, any such appointment shall not have been vacated, or, if any action shall be taken by an officer or director of Lessee, looking to the dissolution or liquidation of Lessee; or
(g) If this Lease or any estate or interest hereunder shall be seized, attached, executed, confiscated, levied upon under any legal process or under claim of legal right, or subject to forfeiture proceedings under state or federal laws as a result of any act or omission of Lessee, and Lessee shall fail to secure release or discharge of this Lease from such seizure within thirty (30) days of such seizure.
27
For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that (i) Lessor has complied with its obligations hereunder, and (ii) either (x) Lessee refuses, fails, or is unable to continue to perform its obligations hereunder or (y) this Lease is terminated early for any reason, then, in any such event, Lessee shall not be entitled to a refund of any rent or other money otherwise paid or payable by Lessee hereunder.
12.2 Right to Re-enter. Upon the occurrence of an uncured event of default under Section 12.01(A) (after expiration of the applicable cure period), Lessor, besides any other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right, with or without termination of this Lease, of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the Premises and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of Lessee, all without service or notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby.
12.3 Right to Terminate. Should Lessor elect to re-enter for Lessee’s default, as provided in Section 12.02, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may, at its sole discretion, either terminate this Lease or it may from time to time without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to re-lease the Premises, and re-lease the 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 lease rent and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Upon each such leasing, all lease rent received by Lessor from such leasing shall belong to Lessor and shall be applied to offset any remaining rent owed by Lessee to Lessor. 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 five (5) 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 the 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 is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such leasing without termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous default. On termination of this Lease, Lessor may recover from Lessee all of the following: (a) the worth at the time of the award of any unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of the termination, to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month; (b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been earned between the time of the termination and the time of the award exceeds the amount of unpaid rent that Lessee proves could reasonably have been avoided, to be computed by allowing interest at the foregoing rate; (c) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of unpaid rent that Lessee proves could reasonably have been avoided, to be computed by discounting that amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one percent (1%); (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform obligations under this Lease; and (e) any other amounts, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing that may be permitted by applicable law.
28
12.4 Right to Cure. Should an event of default occur, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Lessor provided herein, cure the same and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for the cost thereof on demand, together with interest at the rate from of one percent (1%) per month until paid.
12.5 Non-waiver. The failure of Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the performance of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained, nor shall any custom or practice which may develop between the parties in the course of administering this Lease be construed as a waiver of Lessor’s or Lessee’s right to insist upon the performance of any term, covenant or condition. The subsequent acceptance of any payment hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular payment so accepted, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such payment.
12.6 No Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the payment herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Lessor’s right to recover the balance of such payment or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.
12.7 Waiver of Rights of Redemption. Lessee hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future Laws in the event of Lessee being evicted or dispossessed for any cause or in the event of Lessor’s obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of the default by Lessee under any of the covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Lease or otherwise.
12.8 Cumulative Rights and Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Lease are in addition to any and all other rights available to Lessor and/or Lessee at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise, and shall include without limitation the right to recover all actual, consequential, special and punitive damages as well as the right to specific performance or other injunctive relief. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that in addition thereto, Lessor shall be entitled to delay damages resulting from any failure of Lessee to promptly and reasonably comply with its obligations hereunder relating to contemplated cooperation by Lessee with Lessor’s efforts to develop the Premises or to otherwise exercise its Reserved Rights in any respect, or in the event that Lessee shall affirmatively act to obstruct, delay or make more difficult the exercise by Lessor of its Reserved Rights, including, without limitation, Lessor’s rights to develop the Premises. Lessor acknowledges and agrees that in addition thereto, Lessee shall be entitled to delay damages resulting from any failure of Lessor to promptly and reasonably comply with its obligations hereunder relating to refraining by Lessor from interfering with Lessee’s efforts to farm and process crops on the Premises or to otherwise exercise its rights in any respect.

ARTICLE XIII.
FORCE MAJEURE; DESTRUCTION OF LAND
13.1 Force Majeure. If either Lessor or Lessee is prevented from complying, either totally or in part, with any of the terms or provisions of this Lease by reason of fire, shortages, flood, storm, earthquake, volcanic eruption, hurricanes, major and unforeseeable insect infestations, major and unforeseeable plant disease outbreaks, strike, lockout or other material labor trouble, riot, war, rebellion, or other acts of God (each a “Force Majeure Event”), then upon written notice to the non-disabled party, the affected provisions and/or other requirements of this Lease shall be suspended during the period of such disability. The disabled party shall make commercially reasonable efforts to remove such disability within sixty (60) days of giving notice of such disability. During said period, the non-disabled party may seek to have its needs, which would otherwise be met hereunder, met by others without liability to the disabled party hereunder. In no event shall a Force Majeure Event constitute a basis for Lessee to delay to perform any payment obligations hereunder or any covenants hereunder that are not directly impacted by such Force Majeure Event.
13.2 Destruction of Land by Force Majeure Event. If the whole of the Premises or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the acreage of the Premises is destroyed as a result of a Force Majeure Event or if a Processing Plant Lease Event occurs, either Lessor or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving the other written notice of termination within sixty (60) days after such Force Majeure Event. Any such termination shall be effective as of the last day of the calendar month next following the month in which such notice is given. Upon such a termination, Lessor shall have no obligation to refund to Lessee any rent or other monies paid by Lessee. A “Processing Plant Lease Event” shall have occurred if the Nut Storage Facility and the Husking Plant leased pursuant to the Processing Plant Lease, dated as of the date hereof (the “Processing Plant Lease”), by and between Lessee and Mac Farms, is rendered unusable for the purposes specified in the Processing Plant Lease as a result of a Force Majeure Event (as defined in the Processing Plant Lease).
ARTICLE XIV.
SURRENDER
14.1 Surrender. At the end of the Term of the Lease or sooner termination, Lessee shall return the Premises to Lessor together with (i) all macadamia nut trees, plants and shrubs existing thereon at that time, (ii) any buildings and permanent structures existing thereon at that time and (iii) all irrigation equipment existing thereon at that time.
14.2 Failure to Surrender the Orchards. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises or any portion thereof after the termination or expiration of this Lease, or, whenever occurring or howsoever caused, Lessee fails to immediately surrender and deliver possession of the Premises to Lessor, Lessee shall pay Lessor, as liquidated rental, an amount equal to Two Hundred Percent (200%) of the then current rental for the Premises divided by 365 for each day it holds possession of any such portion; provided, however, no such liquidated rental shall be payable for the first thirty (30) days after the termination or expiration of this Lease if (i) as of
30
such date, Lessee has ceased all nut harvesting, nut processing and other operations on the Premises and (ii) the sole reason for such unauthorized failure to surrender the Premises is due to the pendency of an event that would qualify as a Force Majeure Event. Lessor, by accepting such liquidated rental, shall not be deemed to waive any other right or privilege under this Lease, but rather such right shall be considered as in addition to and not in exclusion of such rights and privileges.

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS
A. Purpose and Exclusivity. The purpose of these alternative dispute resolution provisions (“ADR Provisions”) is to provide Lessor and Lessee with a mechanism to resolve Disputes, as defined herein, that may develop in the future concerning the subject matter of the Lease. The Parties agree that these ADR Provisions are the exclusive method to resolve all Disputes and that the goal of both Parties in agreeing to these ADR Provisions is to ensure that all Disputes are resolved in the most expeditious and inexpensive manner possible. All provisions of these ADR Provisions are to be interpreted with that purpose in mind.
B. Definition. “Disputes” means and includes any and all claims, controversies, and disagreements of any nature whatsoever between Lessor and Lessee, at law or in equity, that relate to or arise out of, directly or indirectly, the Lease (including all exhibits thereto), except (i) Disputes involving a failure by Lessee or Guarantor to pay punctually all lease rents, taxes, assessments, collection costs, attorneys’ fees and all other sums to be paid by Lessee or Guarantor under the Lease, and (ii) claims for indemnity, contribution, subrogation, or the like which must be asserted, if at all, only by cross-claim, third party complaint, or the like in litigation brought by or against a third party in which the principal claim(s) giving rise to the right of indemnity, contribution, subrogation, or the like is asserted. The existence of a Dispute may, but need not be, predicated upon a breach of the Lease by one, or both of the Parties.
C. Knowing Release. Lessor and Lessee each acknowledge that these ADR Provisions have served as a material inducement for them to enter into the Lease. To accomplish the purpose of these ADR Provisions, Lessor and Lessee, with respect to any Dispute, waive their respective rights to a jury trial on any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of such Dispute. In addition, with respect to any Dispute, Lessor and Lessee waive any and all right that either of them may have to recover any type of consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages, or treble or other multiple damages provided for by any statute or rule. Nothing contained in this Section C (Knowing Release) precludes the recovery of compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs as provided in the Lease.
D. [Reserved.]
E. Negotiation and Mediation. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that, if a Dispute arises between them, they shall attempt to resolve the Dispute by negotiation, or failing that by mediation conducted in the State of Hawaii. For a period of ten (10) calendar days following the written notice of a Dispute given by one to the other, the Parties agree to hold meetings, attended by individuals with decision making authority, to attempt to resolve the Dispute through good faith negotiations. If at the end of this ten (10) day period they have not been able to resolve the Dispute (and have not agreed to extend the negotiating period), then either Party may give the other written notice of a request for mediation, in which event they shall jointly select a neutral person with at least ten years experience as a commercial mediator and who has experience involving complex commercial transactions and real estate disputes, to act as mediator. The fees of the mediator shall be shared equally by both Parties. If within thirty (30) days after written request for mediation, the Parties are unable to agree upon a mediator, or to thereafter resolve the Dispute by mediation, then either Party shall be entitled to seek redress in the state or federal courts of the State of Hawaii.

(B) All policies of insurance required to be provided by Lessee under this Section 9.01 shall:
12
(i) Include an endorsement providing that inclusion of more than one entity as insured under any such policy shall in no way prejudice the right of any other insured entity as respects any claim, demand, suit or judgment made or brought by or in favor of any other insured entity, so that the policy shall protect each entity in the same manner as though a separate policy had been issued to each entity;
(ii) Include an endorsement providing that Lessor, although named as an insured, shall be entitled to recover under the policies for any loss to Lessor, or Lessor’s employees, agents, or contractors (and other Indemnified Parties), notwithstanding the negligence of Lessee.
(iii) Cover the whole of the Premises, and the business operated by Lessee and/or any further sub lessee within the Premises and any act or omission of any employee of Lessee and any event involving any employee of Lessee which occurs at any other portion of the Premises and which occurs in the course of such employee’s employment with Lessee.
(iv) Acknowledge the indemnity obligations of Lessee under Article VIII.
Section 9.02 Payment of Premiums and Delivery of Policies.

If Lessee has not provided the required insurance certificates within thirty (30) days of Lessor’s notice to Lessee to provide such certificates, Lessor may exclude Lessee from occupancy of the Premises until the required insurance certificates have been provided to Lessor.

Section 9.03 Review of Coverage. Lessee acknowledges that inflation may reduce the effective value of coverage, that terms of insurance contracts or endorsements may be revised, that the types of insurance contemplated by this Lease may become unavailable or that other circumstances may arise which affect or threaten to affect the protection to be afforded by the insurance required by this Lease. Accordingly, the adequacy of the coverage afforded by the insurance shall be subject to review by Lessor from time to time, and if Lessor reasonably determines at any time or times that a prudent businessman in Hawaii utilizing the Premises in a manner similar to the use of the Premises by Lessee would increase the limits of liability or
13
would insure the property against additional perils when such insurance is available in Hawaii, Lessee shall forthwith procure and maintain such other or additional forms and amounts of insurance as Lessor finds sufficient.
Section 9.04 Policies. All the insurance required under this Lease:
(A) Shall be effected by policies issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Hawaii with a general policy holders rating of “A-” or better, and with a financial size category of Class VI or better, as rated in the most recent edition of Best’s Insurance Reports.

(G) Be in amounts sufficient to prevent the insured from being a co-insurer within the terms of applicable policies.
Section 9.05 Failure to Provide Insurance.
(A) If Lessee defaults in insuring the Premises or in delivering the policies (and certificates), Lessor may, at Lessor’s option but without being so obligated, effect such insurance from year to year and pay the premiums, and Lessee will reimburse Lessor on demand for any premiums so paid with interest from the time of payment at the rate from of one percent (1%) per month. The procurement by Lessor of any insurance required to be carried by Lessee shall not release Lessee from its obligation to obtain the insurance required by this Lease nor prejudice Lessor’s exercise of its remedies under this Lease for Lessee’s failure to obtain insurance.
(B) Lessor shall not have any liability to Lessee for the coverage or quality of any insurance required to be carried by Lessee or for the collection of any insurance proceeds or for the insolvency of any insurer or insurance underwriter, and Lessee’s failure to maintain the insurance coverage require hereunder nor the inability to collect all or a part of such insurance shall not release Lessee from any of its obligations hereunder.
14
Section 9.06 Subrogation. Lessor and Lessee release each other from any claims for damage to any person or to the Premises by, or that result from, risks insured against under any insurance policies carried by Lessor or Lessee and in force at the time of any such damage consistent with the requirements of this Lease and each agrees to look solely to and seek recovery from such insurance policies so long as such waiver of subrogation does not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder. Lessor and Lessee shall cause each insurance policy obtained by them to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against the other in connection with any damage covered by any policy.
Section 9.07 Net Insurance Proceeds. Any proceeds from any casualty insurance maintained by Lessee for the improvements on the Premises used by Lessee in connection with this Lease arising out of or relating to any claim for damage to or destruction of such improvements shall be used and applied as follows:

Any such termination shall be effective as of the last day of the calendar month next following the month in which such notice is given. Upon such a termination, Lessor shall have no obligation to refund to Lessee any rent or other monies paid by Lessee. Termination of this Lease by Lessor pursuant to this Section 10.04 shall not affect the respective rights of Lessor and Lessee to any Condemnation Award.
Section 10.05 Distribution of Condemnation Award. Any Condemnation Award shall belong to and shall be paid to Lessor, and Lessee agrees that Lessor shall be solely entitled to pursue, negotiate, settle, or otherwise resolve any and all issues relating to the amount or nature of such Condemnation Award, and Lessee waives any rights in respect thereto or claims arising out of any decision or resolution of the matter approved or otherwise reached by Lessor; provided, however, that in the event the amount of any such Condemnation Award relates to any portion of the Premises that remains subject to the Lease at such time, then Lessor agrees to pay to Lessee a portion of such Condemnation Award equal to the sum of:

(E) If there shall be a pledge or mortgage of the uses and benefits contemplated by this Lease by Lessee without the prior written consent of Lessor, except in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.01; or
(F) If Lessee shall become insolvent, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing any inability to pay its debts as they become due, or shall be the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file any petition or answer seeking for itself any arrangement, composition, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief to which it may be entitled under any present or future Law, or shall file any answer admitting the material allegations of any petition filed against it in any such proceedings, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of all or a substantial part of its properties or assets, or, if the State of Hawaii or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction over Lessee shall dissolve Lessee or cancel, revoke, withdraw or approve the withdrawal of any charter, certificate, registration or authority to maintain Lessee’s existence or right to do business as a corporation in the State of Hawaii unless, in any such case, such event shall have been rescinded within thirty (30) days, or, within sixty (60) days after commencement of any proceedings against Lessee seeking any arrangement, composition, adjustment, or similar relief under any present or future Law, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed, or, within sixty (60) days after the appointment, without the consent or acquiescence of Lessee, of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of any or of all or a substantial part of its properties or assets, any such appointment shall not have been vacated, or, if any action shall be taken by an officer or director of Lessee, looking to the dissolution or liquidation of Lessee; or

Section 12.02 Right to Re-enter. Upon the occurrence of an uncured event of default under Section 12.01(A) (after expiration of the applicable cure period), Lessor, besides any other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right, with or without termination of this Lease, of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the Premises and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of Lessee, all without service or notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby.
Section 12.03 Right to Terminate. Should Lessor elect to re-enter for Lessee’s default, as provided in Section 12.02, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may, at its sole discretion, either terminate this Lease or it may from time to time without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to re-lease the Premises, and re-lease the 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 lease rent and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Upon each such leasing, all lease rent received by Lessor from such leasing shall belong to Lessor and shall be applied to offset any remaining rent owed by Lessee to Lessor. 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 five (5) 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 the 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 is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such leasing without termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous default. On termination of this Lease, Lessor may recover from Lessee all of the following: (a) the worth at the time of the award of any unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of the termination, to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month; (b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been earned between the time of the termination and the time of the award exceeds the amount of unpaid rent that Lessee proves could reasonably have been avoided, to be computed by allowing interest at the foregoing rate; (c) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of unpaid rent that Lessee proves could reasonably have been avoided, to be computed by discounting that amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one percent (1%); (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform obligations under this Lease; and (e) any other amounts, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing that may be permitted by applicable law.
Section 12.04 Right to Cure. Should an event of default occur, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Lessor provided herein, cure the
20
same and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for the cost thereof on demand, together with interest at the rate from of one percent (1%) per month until paid.
Section 12.05 Non-waiver. The failure of Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the performance of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained, nor shall any custom or practice which may develop between the parties in the course of administering this Lease be construed as a waiver of Lessor’s or Lessee’s right to insist upon the performance of any term, covenant or condition. The subsequent acceptance of any payment hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular payment so accepted, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such payment.
Section 12.06 No Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the payment herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Lessor’s right to recover the balance of such payment or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.
Section 12.07 Waiver of Rights of Redemption. Lessee hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future Laws in the event of Lessee being evicted or dispossessed for any cause or in the event of Lessor’s obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of the default by Lessee under any of the covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Lease or otherwise.
Section 12.08 Cumulative Rights and Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Lease are in addition to any and all other rights available to Lessor and/or Lessee at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise, and shall include without limitation the right to recover all actual, consequential, special and punitive damages as well as the right to specific performance or other injunctive relief. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that in addition thereto, Lessor shall be entitled to delay damages resulting from any failure of Lessee to promptly and reasonably comply with its obligations hereunder relating to contemplated cooperation by Lessee with Lessor. Lessor acknowledges and agrees that in addition thereto, Lessee shall be entitled to delay damages resulting from any failure of Lessor to promptly and reasonably comply with its obligations hereunder relating to refraining by Lessor from interfering with Lessee’s efforts to farm and process crops on the Premises or to otherwise exercise its rights in any respect.
ARTICLE XIII
FORCE MAJEURE
Section 13.01 Force Majeure. If either Lessor or Lessee is prevented from complying, either totally or in part, with any of the terms or provisions of this Lease by reason of fire,
21
shortages, flood, storm, earthquake, volcanic eruption, hurricanes, strike, lockout or other material labor trouble, riot, war, rebellion, or other acts of God (each a “Force Majeure Event”), then upon written notice to the non-disabled party, the affected provisions and/or other requirements of this Lease shall be suspended during the period of such disability. The disabled party shall make commercially reasonable efforts to remove such disability within sixty (60) days of giving notice of such disability. During said period, the non-disabled party may seek to have its needs, which would otherwise be met hereunder, met by others without liability to the disabled party hereunder. In no event shall a Force Majeure Event constitute a basis for Lessee to delay to perform any payment obligations hereunder or any covenants hereunder that are not directly impacted by such Force Majeure Event.
Section 13.02 Destruction of Land by Force Majeure Event. If the Nut Storage Facility and the Husking Plant is rendered unusable for the purposes specified in this Lease as a result of a Force Majeure Event or if an Agricultural Lease Event occurs, either Lessor or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving the other written notice of termination within sixty (60) days after such Force Majeure Event. Any such termination shall be effective as of the last day of the calendar month next following the month in which such notice is given. Upon such a termination, Lessor shall have no obligation to refund to Lessee any rent or other monies paid by Lessee. An “ Agricultural Lease Event” shall have occurred if the whole of the Premises (leased pursuant to the Agricultural Lease, dated as of the date hereof (the “Agricultural Lease”), by and between Lessee and KOE) or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the acreage of such Premises is destroyed as a result of a Force Majeure Event (as defined in the Agricultural Lease).
ARTICLE XIV
SURRENDER
Section 14.01 Surrender. At the end of the Term of the Lease or sooner termination, Lessee shall return the Premises to Lessor together with (i) all plants and shrubs existing thereon at that time, (ii) any buildings and permanent structures existing thereon at that time, and (iii) any permanent improvements thereto constructed after the date hereof.
Section 14.02 Failure to Surrender. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises or any portion thereof after the termination or expiration of this Lease, or, whenever occurring or howsoever caused, Lessee fails to immediately surrender and deliver possession of the Premises to Lessor, Lessee shall pay Lessor, as liquidated rental, an amount equal to Two Hundred Percent (200%) of the then current rental for the Premises divided by 365 for each day it holds possession of any such portion; provided, however, no such liquidated rental shall be payable for the first thirty (30) days after the termination or expiration of this Lease if (i) as of such date, Lessee has ceased all nut harvesting, nut processing and other operations on the Premises and (ii) the sole reason for such unauthorized failure to surrender the Premises is due to the pendency of an event that would qualify as a Force Majeure Event. Lessor, by accepting such liquidated rental, shall not be deemed to waive any other right or privilege under this Lease, but rather such right shall be considered as in addition to and not in exclusion of such rights and privileges.
22
ARTICLE XV
LESSEE OPTION TO RENEW
Section 15.01 Option to Renew. Prior to the end of year fifteen (15) of the Term, Lessor shall provide Lessee a notice of termination after year twenty (20) of the Term or notice of the grant of Lessee an option for an additional term for a period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”), which option shall be exercisable only by written notice (“Exercise Notice”) delivered by Lessee to Lessor as provided in Section 15.03 below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such notice and, at Lessor’s option, as of the last day of the Term, Lessee is not in monetary default under this Lease after expiration of applicable cure periods and Lessee has not previously been in monetary default under this Lease after expiration of applicable cure periods more than once. The right contained in this Section 15.01 shall be personal to Lessee and may only be exercised by Lessee (and not any assignee, sublessee or transferee of Lessee’s interest in this Lease). If Lessor delivers Lessee neither a notice of termination nor a notice of the grant an option for an additional term, then Lessor shall be deemed to have delivered Lessee a notice of termination.
Section 15.02 Option Rent. The annual rent payable by Lessee during the Option Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be an amount mutually agreed upon by Lessor and Tenant.
Section 15.03 Exercise of Option. The option contained in this Article 15 shall be exercised by Lessee, if at all, only in the following manner: (i) Lessee shall endeavor to deliver written notice (“Interest Notice”) to Lessor on or before the date which is fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term, stating that Lessee is interested in exercising its option; (ii) Lessor, after receipt of Lessee’s notice, shall deliver notice (the “Option Rent Notice”) to Lessee not less than thirteen (13) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term, setting forth the Option Rent; and (iii) if Lessee wishes to exercise such option, whether or not Lessee has given the fifteen (15) months prior written notice, Lessee shall, on or before the date occurring twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term, exercise the option by delivering written notice (the “Option Exercise Notice”) thereof to Lessor, and upon, and concurrent with, such exercise, Lessee may, at its option, accept or reject the Option Rent. If Lessee rejects the Option Rent contained in the Option Rent Notice, or if Lessee delivers the Option Exercise Notice without previously having timely delivered the Interest Notice, the parties shall follow the procedure, and the Option Rent shall be determined, as set forth in Section 15.04 below. If Lessee timely and properly exercises its option to extend, the Term shall be extended for the Option Term upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except that the rent under this Lease shall be as indicated in the Option Rent Notice.
Section 15.04 Determination of Option Rent. In the event Lessee timely and appropriately objects to the Option Rent, Lessor and Lessee shall attempt to agree upon the Option Rent, using their best good-faith efforts. Notwithstanding Section 16.09, if Lessor and Lessee fail to reach agreement within ten (10) business days following Lessee’s objection to the Option Rent (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party shall make a separate determination of the Option Rent within five (5) business days after the applicable Outside
23
Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration as follows: Lessor and Lessee shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall be a real estate broker or real estate attorney who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of farm land in the State of Hawaii. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Lessor’s or Lessee’s submitted Option Rent is the closest to the actual Option Rent, as determined by the arbitrators in their reasonable judgment. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within ten (10) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators. The three (3) arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Lessor’s or Lessee’s submitted Option Rent and shall notify Lessor and Lessee thereof. The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Lessor and Lessee. If either Lessor or Lessee fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date, then the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Lessor and Lessee thereof, and such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding upon Lessor and Lessee. If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, or if both parties fail to appoint an arbitrator, then the appointment of the third arbitrator or any arbitrator shall be dismissed and the matter to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to arbitration under the provisions of the American Arbitration Association. The cost of the arbitration shall be paid by Lessor and Lessee equally.

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS
A. Purpose and Exclusivity. The purpose of these alternative dispute resolution provisions (“ADR Provisions”) is to provide Lessor and Lessee with a mechanism to resolve Disputes, as defined herein, that may develop in the future concerning the subject matter of the Lease. The Parties agree that these ADR Provisions are the exclusive method to resolve all Disputes and that the goal of both Parties in agreeing to these ADR Provisions is to ensure that all Disputes are resolved in the most expeditious and inexpensive manner possible. All provisions of these ADR Provisions are to be interpreted with that purpose in mind.
B. Definition. “Disputes” means and includes any and all claims, controversies, and disagreements of any nature whatsoever between Lessor and Lessee, at law or in equity, that relate to or arise out of, directly or indirectly, the Lease (including all exhibits thereto), except (i) Disputes involving a failure by Lessee or Guarantor to pay punctually all lease rents, taxes, assessments, collection costs, attorneys’ fees and all other sums to be paid by Lessee or Guarantor under the Lease, and (ii) claims for indemnity, contribution, subrogation, or the like which must be asserted, if at all, only by cross-claim, third party complaint, or the like in litigation brought by or against a third party in which the principal claim(s) giving rise to the right of indemnity, contribution, subrogation, or the like is asserted. The existence of a Dispute may, but need not be, predicated upon a breach of the Lease by one, or both of the Parties.
C. Knowing Release. Lessor and Lessee each acknowledge that these ADR Provisions have served as a material inducement for them to enter into the Lease. To accomplish the purpose of these ADR Provisions, Lessor and Lessee, with respect to any Dispute, waive their respective rights to a jury trial on any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of such Dispute. In addition, with respect to any Dispute, Lessor and Lessee waive any and all right that either of them may have to recover any type of consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages, or treble or other multiple damages provided for by any statute or rule. Nothing contained in this Section C (Knowing Release) precludes the recovery of compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs as provided in the Lease.
D. [Reserved.]
E. Negotiation and Mediation. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that, if a Dispute arises between them, they shall attempt to resolve the Dispute by negotiation, or failing that by mediation conducted in the State of Hawaii. For a period of ten (10) calendar days following the written notice of a Dispute given by one to the other, the Parties agree to hold meetings, attended by individuals with decision making authority, to attempt to resolve the Dispute through good faith negotiations. If at the end of this ten (10) day period they have not been able to resolve the Dispute (and have not agreed to extend the negotiating period), then either Party may give the other written notice of a request for mediation, in which event they shall jointly select a neutral person with at least ten years experience as a commercial mediator and who has experience involving complex commercial transactions and real estate disputes, to act as mediator. The fees of the mediator shall be shared equally by both Parties. If within thirty (30) days after written request for mediation, the Parties are unable to agree upon a mediator, or to thereafter resolve the Dispute by mediation, then either Party shall be entitled to seek redress in the state or federal courts of the State of Hawaii.

(b) The Company shall, at its cost, use reasonable best efforts, subject to Section 2.4, to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by Holders for a period of two years from the date the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, or for such shorter period that will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or cease to be outstanding or otherwise to be Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”).
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that (i) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any Prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any Prospectus forming part of any Shelf Registration Statement, and any supplement to such Prospectus (as amended or supplemented from time to time), does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, no Holder of Registrable Securities may include any of its Registrable Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless the Holder furnishes to the Company a fully completed, customary selling securityholder questionnaire (the “Questionnaire”) and such other information in writing as the Company may reasonably request in writing for use in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein and in any application to be filed with or under state securities laws. To be named as a selling securityholder in the Prospectus at the time of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, each
Holder must, before the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement and no later than the 20th calendar day after the issuance of the press release by the Company announcing the initial filing of the Registration Statement, furnish the completed Questionnaire and such other information that the Company may reasonably request in writing, if any, to the Company in writing and the Company will include the information from the completed Questionnaire and such other information, if any, in the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus in a manner so that upon effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement the Holder will be permitted to deliver the Prospectus to purchasers of the Holder’s Registrable Securities. From and after the date that the Registration Statement is first declared effective by the SEC, upon receipt of a completed Questionnaire and such other information that the Company may reasonably request in writing, if any, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to file within 20 business days any amendments or supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement necessary for such Holder to be named as a selling securityholder in the Prospectus contained therein to permit such Holder to deliver the Prospectus to purchasers of the Holder’s Securities (subject to the Company’s right to suspend the Shelf Registration Statement as described in Section 2.4 below); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file more than one such amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement in any calendar quarter for all such Holders. Holders that do not deliver a completed written Questionnaire and such other information, as provided for in this Section 2.1(d), will not be named as selling securityholders in the Prospectus. Each Holder named as a selling securityholder in the Prospectus agrees to promptly furnish to the Company all information required to be disclosed to make information previously furnished to the Company by the Holder not materially misleading and any other information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Holder’s Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.
(e) Each Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement without delivering, or causing to be delivered, a Prospectus to the purchaser thereof and, following termination of the Effectiveness Period, to notify the Company, within 10 calendar days of a written request by the Company, of the amount of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and, in the absence of a response, the Company may assume that all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities have been so sold; provided, however, that the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to confirm that all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities have been so sold prior to making such assumption.
The Company shall not permit any securities other than Registrable Securities to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement. The Company further agrees, if necessary, to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, as required by Section 2.3(b) below, and to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.
2.2 Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to Section 2.1. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.
2.3. Effectiveness. (a) The Company will be deemed not have used its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become, or to remain, effective during the requisite period if the Company voluntarily takes any action that would, or, or fails to take any action which failure would result in any such Shelf Registration Statement not being declared effective or the Holders of Registrable Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Registrable Securities during that period as and to the extent contemplated hereby, unless such action is required by applicable law.
(b) A Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1 will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that if, after it has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such Shelf Registration Statement will be deemed not to have been effective during the period of such interference, until the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement may legally resume.
2.4. Suspension. The Company may suspend the use of any Prospectus for a period not to exceed 45 calendar days in any rolling 90-calendar day period, or an aggregate of 120 calendar days in any rolling 12-month period, (each, a “Suspension Period”) if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith that because of valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the Company’s obligations hereunder), including without limitation proposed or pending corporate developments and similar events or because of filings with the SEC, it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend such use, and prior to suspending such use the Company provides the Holders with written notice of such suspension, which notice need not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such suspension. Each Holder shall keep confidential any communications received by it from the Company regarding the suspension of the use of the Prospectus, except as required by applicable law.
3. Registration Procedures.
In connection with the obligations of the Company with respect to the Shelf Registration, the Company shall:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement, within the relevant time period specified in Section 2, on the appropriate form under the 1933 Act, which form (i) shall be selected by the Company, (ii) shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the selling Holders thereof, (iii) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include or incorporate by reference all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein, and (iv) shall comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-T

(c) (i) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities of the filing, by issuing a press release, of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities; (ii) furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities that has provided the information required by Section 2.1(d) and to each underwriter of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as such Holder or underwriter may reasonably request, including financial statements and schedules and, if the Holder so requests, all exhibits to facilitate the unrestricted sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities; and (iii) subject to Section 2.4 and to any notice by the Company in accordance with Section 3(e) of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Sections 3(e)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi), consent to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities that has provided the information required by Section 2.1(d) in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities;
(d) use reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement and each underwriter of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each such Holder and underwriter to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), or (ii) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;
(e) notify promptly each Holder of Registrable Securities under a Shelf Registration that has provided the information required by Section 2.1(d) and, if requested by such Holder, confirm such advice in writing promptly: (i) when a Shelf Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments thereto become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for post-effective amendments and supplements to a Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus or for additional information after the Shelf Registration Statement has become effective; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any
state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the happening of any event or the discovery of any facts during the period a Shelf Registration Statement is effective which makes any statement of a material fact made in such Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus untrue or which requires the making of any changes in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus to make the statements therein not misleading; (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (vi) of any determination by the Company that a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement would be appropriate;
(f) furnish special counsel for the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any comment letters received from the SEC or any other request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments or supplements to a Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus or for additional information;
(g) use reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment;
(h) furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities that has provided the information required by Section 2.1(d), and each underwriter, if any, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules (without documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits thereto, unless requested);
(i) (i) cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends (other than as required by the certificate of limited partnership or partnership agreement of the Company or applicable law); and (ii) enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the selling Holders or the underwriters, if any, may reasonably request at least three business days prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities;
(j) upon the occurrence of any event or the discovery of any facts, each as contemplated by Sections 3(e)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi), as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, use reasonable best efforts to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain at the time of such delivery any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or will remain so qualified. At such time as such public disclosure is otherwise made or the Company determines that such disclosure is not necessary, in each case to correct any misstatement of a material fact or to include any omitted material fact, the Company agrees promptly to notify each Holder that has provided the information required by Section 2.1(d) of such determination and to furnish each Holder such number of copies of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, as such Holder may reasonably request;
(k) no less than three business days prior to the filing of any Shelf Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any amendment to a Shelf Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to a Prospectus (other than amendments and supplements that do nothing more than name Holders and provide information with respect thereto), provide copies of such document to the Initial Holder on behalf of such Holders;
(l) enter into such customary agreements and take all other customary and appropriate actions to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities including but not limited to:
(i) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, covering the matters set forth in the opinion of such counsel delivered on the Closing Date;
(ii) obtain “comfort” letters and updates thereof from the Company’s independent certified public accountants (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements are, or are required to be, included in the Shelf Registration Statement) addressed to the underwriters, if any, and use reasonable efforts to have such letter addressed to the selling Holders of Registrable Securities, such letters substantially in the form and covering the matters covered in the comfort letter delivered on the Closing Date; and
(iii) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to set forth indemnification provisions and procedures substantially equivalent to the indemnification provisions and procedures set forth in Section 4 with respect to the underwriters and all other parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section or, at the request of any underwriters, in the form customarily provided to such underwriters in similar types of transactions.
The actions under Section 3(l)(i), (ii) and (iii) shall be done solely in connection with the underwritten offering of Registrable Securities off of such Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to an underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required thereunder, and reasonably requested by any of the parties thereto;
(m) if reasonably requested in connection with a disposition of Registrable Securities, make available for inspection during business hours by representatives of the Holders of the Registrable Securities, any underwriters participating in any disposition pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, and any counsel or accountant retained by any of the foregoing, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company reasonably requested by any such persons, and cause the respective officers, directors, employees, and any other agents of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, special counsel or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement, and make such representatives of the Company available for discussion of such documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Initial Holder, in each case as is customary for “due diligence” investigations; provided, however, that, to the extent the
Company, in its reasonable discretion, agrees to disclose non-public information, such persons shall first agree in writing with the Company that any such non-public information shall be kept confidential by such persons and shall be used solely for the purposes of exercising rights under this Agreement and such person shall not engage in trading any securities of the Company until such material non-public information becomes properly publicly available, unless (i) disclosure of such information is required by court or administrative order or is necessary to respond to inquiries of regulatory authorities, (ii) disclosure of such information is required by law (including any disclosure requirements pursuant to federal securities laws in connection with the filing of any Registration Statement or the use of any Prospectus referred to in this Agreement upon a customary opinion of counsel for such persons delivered and reasonably satisfactory to the Company), (iii) such information becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by any such person, or (iv) such information becomes available to any such person from a source other than the Company and such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement; and, provided, further, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall, to the greatest extent possible, be coordinated on behalf of all the Holders and the other parties entitled thereto by special counsel to the Holders;
(n) a reasonable time prior to filing the Shelf Registration Statement, any Prospectus forming a part thereof, any amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to such Prospectus (other than amendments and supplements that do nothing more than name Holders and provide information with respect thereto), provide copies of such document to the Holders of Registrable Securities that have provided the information required by Section 2.1(d), to the Initial Holder, to special counsel for the Holders and to the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any, make such changes in any such document prior to the filing thereof as the Initial Holder, the counsel to the Holders or the underwriter or underwriters reasonably request within three business days of delivery of such copies and not file any such document in a form to which the Majority Holders, the Initial Holder on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities, special counsel for the Holders of Registrable Securities or any underwriter shall not have previously been advised and furnished a copy of or to which the Majority Holders, the Initial Holder of behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities, counsel to the Holders of Registrable Securities or any underwriter shall reasonably object within three business days of delivery of such copies, and make the representatives of the Company available for discussion of such document as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders of Registrable Securities, the Initial Holder on behalf of such Holders, counsel for the Holders of Registrable Securities or any underwriter;
(o) use reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed if requested by the Majority Holders, or if requested by the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any;
(p) if the Securities are rated, use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be rated by the appropriate rating agencies;
(q) otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement
covering at least 12 months which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 thereunder; and
(r) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the NASD and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter and its counsel (including any “qualified independent underwriter” that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD).
Without limiting Section 2.1(d), the Company may (as a condition to such Holder’s participation in the Shelf Registration) require each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.
Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event or the discovery of any facts, each of the kind described in Sections 3(e)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(j) or written notice from the Company that the Shelf Registration Statement is again effective and no amendment or supplement is needed, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at its expense) all copies in such Holder’s possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
In the event that the Company is in breach of its obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall not file any Registration Statement with respect to any securities (within the meaning of Section 2(1) of the 0000 Xxx) of the Company other than Registrable Securities.
If any of the Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the underwriter or underwriters and manager or managers that will manage such offering will be selected by the Majority Holders of the Registrable Securities to be registered by such Shelf Registration and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
4. Indemnification; Contribution.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Holder, each Holder who has provided information to the Company in accordance with Section 2.1(d), each Person who participates as an underwriter (any such Person being an “Underwriter”) and each Person, if any, who controls any Holder or Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) pursuant to which Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided, however, that (subject to Section 4(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and
(iii) against any and all out-of-pocket expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by any indemnified party), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder or Underwriter expressly for use in a Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); and, provided, further, that this indemnity provision shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense if the Holder fails to deliver at or prior to the written confirmation of sale the most recent Prospectus furnished to such Holder by the Company and such Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of the time of such confirmation of sale, including any amendment or supplement filed with the SEC that is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus), would have corrected such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact and delivery thereof was required by law.
(b) Each Holder who has provided information to the Company in accordance with Section 2.1(d), severally, but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Initial Holder, each Underwriter and the other selling Holders who have provided information to the Company in accordance with Section 2.1(d), and each of their respective directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, the Initial Holder, any
Underwriter or any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 4(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus included therein (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information with respect to such Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided, however, that no such Holder shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.
(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 4 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 4(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 calendar days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 calendar days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall
contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on one hand and the indemnified party or party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of Company, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Initial Holder, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Holder or the Initial Holder and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company, the Holders and the Initial Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Holder were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 4. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 4 shall be deemed to include any out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, no Initial Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities sold by it were offered exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
For purposes of this Section 4, each Person, if any, who controls an Initial Holder or Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Holder or Holder, and each director of the Company, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

For so long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, the Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder. If the Company ceases to be so required to file such reports, the Company covenants that it will upon the request of any Holder of
Registrable Securities (a) make publicly available such information as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (b) deliver such information to a prospective purchaser as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request for such purpose, and (c) take such further action that is reasonable in the circumstances, in each case, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell its Registrable Securities without registration under the 1933 Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, (ii) Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (iii) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.1 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities (other than the Partnership Units) under the 1934 Act.
5.2 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered into and the Company will not after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not and will not for the term of this Agreement in any way conflict with the rights granted to the holders of any of the Company’s other issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements.
5.3 Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions of this Agreement may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Majority Holders of such Registrable Securities Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or departure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended by a written agreement between the Company and the Initial Holder, without the consent of the Holders of the Registrable Securities, to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein. Each Holder of Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any amendment, modification, waiver or consent pursuant to this Section 5.3, shall be bound by such amendment, modification, waiver or consent, whether or not any notice or writing indicating such amendment, modification, waiver or consent is delivered to such Holder.
5.4 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered first-class mail, facsimile, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company in a Questionnaire or by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4, which address initially is the address set forth in the Acquisition Agreement with respect to the Initial Holder (including all duplicate copies required to be delivered pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement); and (b) if to the Company, initially at the Company’s address set forth in the Acquisition Agreement (including all duplicate copies required to be delivered pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement), and thereafter at such other address of which notice is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4. All such
notices and other communications shall be deemed given (i) when personally delivered to the party to be given such notice or other communication; (ii) on the business day that such notice or other communication is sent by facsimile, email or similar electronic means, fully prepaid, which facsimile or similar electronic communication shall promptly be confirmed by written notice; (iii) on the third business day following the date of deposit in the United States mail if such notice or other communication is sent by certified or registered mail with return receipt requested and postage thereon fully prepaid; or (iv) on the business day following the day such notice or other communication is sent prepaid by reputable overnight courier.
5.5 Successor and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the restrictions on resale set forth in this Agreement and, if applicable, the Acquisition Agreement, and such person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.
5.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. The Initial Holder (even if the Initial Holder is not a Holder of Registrable Securities) shall be a third party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of Holders hereunder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall be a third party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the Initial Holder and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder.
5.7 Specific Enforcement. Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Holder and the Holders, the Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 2.1 may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Holder or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it may not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Holder or any Holder may seek such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Section 2.1.
5.8 Restriction on Resales. Until the expiration of two years after the original issuance of the Securities, the Company will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, resell any Securities which are “restricted securities” (as such term is defined under Rule 144(a)(3) under the 0000 Xxx) that have been reacquired by any of them and shall cancel such Securities immediately upon any purchase of any such by the Company.
5.9 Counterparts; Facsimiles. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, and such counterparts constitute one and the same instrument, which may be sufficiently evidenced by a counterpart. A facsimile, telecopy, PDF, or other reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties, and an executed copy of this Agreement may be delivered by one or more parties by facsimile, PDF e-mail, or similar instantaneous electronic transmission device under which the signature of or on behalf of such party can be seen, and such execution and delivery is to be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes. At the request of either party, the parties agree to execute an original of this Agreement as well as any facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction hereof.
5.10 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
5.11 Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY HERETO ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN RESPECT OF ANY CIVIL ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE OTHER PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
5.12 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THEREOF.
5.13 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
5.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein with respect to the registration rights granted by the Issuer with respect to the Registrable Securities.

TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT
TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”), effective as of
, 2007, by and between XXXXX XXXXXXX ESTATES, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company (“Licensor”),
and ,
a
(“Licensee”).
WHEREAS, this Agreement is made pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, dated as of , 2007, by and between Licensee, on the one hand, and Licensor and Mac Farms of Hawaii, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mac Farms”), on the other hand, (the “Purchase Agreement”), which provides for the sale to Licensee of the macadamia nut farming, harvesting and processing business of Licensor and Mac Farms;
WHEREAS, Licensor is the owner of certain trademarks and the goodwill associated therewith, which trademarks are listed on Schedule A (the “Licensed Marks”);
WHEREAS, Licensee desires to use the Licensed Marks solely in connection with its macadamia nut farming, harvesting and processing business (the “Macadamia Nut Business”); and
WHEREAS, Licensor, as the owner of the Licensed Marks, agrees to license Licensee to use the Licensed Marks solely in connection with the Macadamia Nut Business on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Grant of License; Payment. Licensor hereby grants Licensee, subject to the terms hereof, a personal, exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, license to use the Licensed Marks solely in connection with the Macadamia Nut Business during the Term (as defined below). Except in connection with Licensee’s use or utilization of the Licensed Marks for or in relation to advertising, promotion and marketing of Licensee in connection with the Macadamia Nut Business, Licensee shall have no right to sublicense the use of the Licensed Marks. In exchange for the exclusive license granted herein, Licensee hereby pays to Licensor a one-time license fee in the amount of ONE DOLLAR ($1.00) by corporate check or such other funds as may be agreed upon by the parties. No other royalty shall be paid to Licensor for Licensee’s use of Licensed Marks under this Agreement. Licensor shall have no right or interest in or to any revenues, profits or other benefits derived by Licensee from its permitted use of the Licensed Marks under this Agreement
2. Other Conditions. Licensee shall make no use of the Licensed Marks except solely in connection with the Macadamia Nut Business, and shall not use the Licensed Marks in any manner whatsoever which infringes upon the rights of other persons or parties. In conjunction with any permitted use of the Licensed Marks, Licensee shall publish a legend (the “Legend”) stating the following: “The Kapua or the Kapua Ranch, as the case may be, trademark is the property of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Estates, LLC, and is used here by permission.” The Legend shall appear, if and as appropriate, on all contracts and other legal documents, on all product packaging and in all publications (including print and online advertisements). Licensee agrees to provide to Licensor annually, or upon Licensor’s reasonable request, samples of its product packaging materials, advertising materials and any other publications (including electronic) using the Licensed Marks for review by Licensor for compliance with the terms hereof. Licensee agrees to make any changes reasonably requested by Licensor which are necessary to bring Licensee into compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Licensor may, from time to time, publish or distribute standards of usage for the Licensed Marks. Licensee agrees to abide by such standards of usage.
3. Ownership Acknowledgement. Licensee hereby acknowledges Licensor’s ownership of and right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Marks and that all use of the Licensed Marks by Licensee, heretofore or hereafter, shall inure to the sole benefit of Licensor. Licensee will not make any representation or do any act which may be taken to indicate that it has any right, title or interest in or to the ownership or use of the Licensed Marks except as licensed under the terms of this Agreement, and acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Licensee any continuing right, title or interest in or to the Licensed Marks, except other than those rights contained herein. Licensee hereby acknowledges the validity of the Licensed Marks. Licensee shall not do any act which it knows (or should know), or of which it is notified by Licensor that in Licensor’s reasonable belief may affect the validity of the Licensed Marks. Licensee agrees not to contest the validity of Licensor’s rights in the Licensed Marks, or perform any act or omission adverse to the Licensed Marks or to said exclusive rights of Licensor. Notwithstanding Section 8 hereof, Licensor may terminate this Agreement immediately upon giving written notice to Licensee if Licensee shall challenge the validity of or Licensor’s ownership or interest in the Licensed Marks. Licensee shall cooperate to the fullest extent possible with Licensor or its nominee to take such actions as Licensor may reasonably consider necessary to protect the Licensed Marks, prosecute any application for registration therefor or maintain any registrations therefor; provided, however, that it shall be Licensor’s sole responsibility to maintain said registration, at Licensor’s sole expense.
4. Quality Control; Inspection. Licensee acknowledges the importance to Licensor of its reputation and goodwill, and to the public of maintaining high, uniform standards of quality for the macadamia nuts or other goods sold under the Licensed Marks in connection with the Macadamia Nut Business (collectively, the “Products”). Licensee represents, warrants and agrees that all Products shall:
(a) be of good and merchantable quality and comply with all applicable laws and regulations;
(b) be as good or better than the current quality of similar products now or hereafter advertised, distributed, manufactured, processed, or sold by Licensee; and
(c) meet such quality standards and specifications as may be prescribed by Licensor to Licensee, from time-to-time, during the Term.
Licensee shall permit Licensor to inspect, at Licensee’s premises, at any reasonable time, the Products, and Licensee shall, upon request of Licensor, submit to Licensor samples of the Products which are sold or intended to be sold under the Licensed Marks for the purpose of ascertaining and determining compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
5. Enforcement. Licensee shall fully cooperate with Licensor in maintaining and defending the ownership and validity of the Licensed Marks. Licensee will promptly notify Licensor of (i) any infringement or unauthorized use of any Licensed Marks by any third party of which it becomes aware, or (ii) any assertion by any third party that Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks infringes such third party’s rights. Licensor shall not be obligated to initiate or defend any legal action with respect to the Licensed Marks, and Licensee shall not initiate or defend any such action itself without Licensor’s prior written consent. After receipt of any notice from Licensee about any potential infringement, Licensor shall, in its sole discretion determine what action, if any, should be taken. Any such action shall be directed and controlled by Licensor, and at Licensor’s sole expense; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the cost of prosecuting or defending any infringement action, including legal fees, shall be for the account of Licensee, if the necessity of prosecuting or defending any such infringement action was caused by the acts or omissions or misconduct of Licensee.
6. Use of Licensed Marks in Trade Name. Licensee agrees that it shall not use the Licensed Marks as part of its name or trade name. Licensee acknowledges and agrees, that upon any termination hereof, it will immediately change any domain name used by it, as necessary, to a domain name or names not including the Licensed Marks or any similar variation thereof. During and after the Term, Licensee agrees that it will not produce or use, or cause or enable another to reproduce or use, any trademarks, service marks or other related rights derived from or confusingly similar to, or likely to cause confusion with, the Licensed Marks.
7. Term. This Agreement and all licenses and rights granted hereunder shall continue for a period commencing on the date first written above and ending on , 2012 (the “Term”), except as earlier terminated as provided herein. [NOTE: The term of the license will be set to coincide with the term of the orchard lease.]
8. Termination. In addition to Licensor’s immediate termination rights under Section 3, Licensor shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Licensee in the event of any failure of Licensee to correct or cure any material breach by Licensee of any covenant or obligation under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those set forth in Section 4 hereof, within (i) 15 calendar days after receipt of notice thereof from Licensor as to any covenant or obligation other than those set forth in Section 4, and (ii) 60 days after receipt of notice thereof from Licensor as to any covenant or obligation set forth in Section 4. In the event that Licensee makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a petition in bankruptcy (voluntarily), has a petition filed against it by a third party
(involuntarily), becomes insolvent, or is similarly prevented from or unable to fulfill its duties, hereunder, this Agreement shall automatically terminate. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, Licensee shall immediately cease all use of the Licensed Marks and deliver to Licensor or destroy all materials bearing the Licensed Marks, at Licensor’s option, and shall forthwith change its domain name, as necessary, in accordance with Section 6. Notwithstanding any termination in accordance with this Agreement, Licensor shall have, and hereby reserves all the rights and remedies which it has or which are granted to it at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief for damage or breach of this Agreement on the part of Licensee.
9. Relationship of the Parties. Licensor and Licensee are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create the relationship of principal and agent, joint venturers or partners between Licensee and Licensor, and in no circumstances shall Licensee be considered an agent of Licensor.
10. Indemnity. Licensee agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Licensor, together with the respective directors, officers, managers, members, employees, agents, successors, and assigns of Licensor against and from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, liabilities, losses, or damages they may incur, including attorneys’, experts’, and accountants’ fees (and court costs), arising out of, or in connection with, any breach by Licensee of the terms of this Agreement.
11. Notice. All notices, demands, and requests required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when personally delivered to the party to be given such notice or other communication; (ii) on the business day that such notice or other communication is sent by facsimile, email or similar electronic means, fully prepaid, which facsimile or similar electronic communication shall promptly be confirmed by written notice; (iii) on the third business day following the date of deposit in the United States mail if such notice or other communication is sent by certified or registered mail with return receipt requested and postage thereon fully prepaid; or (iv) on the business day following the day such notice or other communication is sent prepaid by reputable overnight courier, to the following:

This Agreement may only be amended or modified in a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.
13. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii without reference to its choice of law provisions, in accordance with any applicable federal law (including the Xxxxxx Act), and in accordance with such interpretations thereof by the Federal Circuit, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board and other relevant tribunals. Any claims, disputes or causes of action of any sort arising under or related to this Agreement, including those regarding the construction or interpretation thereof, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction located in Hawaii, and Licensee hereby waives any objection it may have to the jurisdiction or venue of such court.

Inventory Valuation Procedure
FINISHED GOODS INVENTORY:
1. A physical count of the finished goods inventory will be taken on the measurement date. Product in transit will be added.
2. The quantities derived from the physical count will be reconciled to the inventory detail in the company’s books and records as listed on the company’s inventory report (IL28). Product in transit is reflected in the general ledger but not included in the IL28 inventory report. Product in transit must therefore be added to the IL28 quantities to arrive at total finished goods inventory. Actual differences between book inventory and the reconciled inventory will be adjusted in the company’s books and records.
3. The IL28 values finished goods inventory at standard cost from the bills of material. A detailed cost analysis will be performed to determine the actual cost of finished goods inventory. The variance as determined by the difference between IL28 and the detailed cost analysis will be allocated to the individual items comprising the inventory, resulting in an actual cost basis on a per item basis.
4. To the extent that this manufacturing variance is include in the inventory valuation
reserve (See also discussion below), the inventory valuation reserve will be adjusted to eliminate this variance and transfer these costs to either the finished goods inventory as discussed under 3 above, or cost of goods sold.
5. A lower of cost or market comparison will be done on an item by item basis. Finished goods inventory will be adjusted to the lower of cost or market valuation in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practices.
INVENTORY VALUATION RESERVE:
1. At December 31, 2006, the inventory valuation reserve was adjusted to the variance between actual costs of finished goods inventory versus the standard costs reflected in the book inventory report. All timing differences were eliminated.
2. At interim months within the company’s business cycle, the inventory valuation reserve contains both manufacturing variances, if any, and timing differences between spending (primarily farming costs) and the conversion of products to finished goods.
3. After eliminating any manufacturing variances, as discussed under FINISHED GOODS INVENTORY item 4, the remaining inventory valuation reserve will be included in the total inventory valuation at book value.
WORK IN PROCESS INVENTORY:
1. Work in process inventory will be valued using the procedure outlined in the attached example reflecting the valuation as of December 31, 2006. See EXHIBIT I.1.1 and EXHIBIT I.1.2.

WIP Inventory Valuation Methodology:
Work in process will be valued for book value purposes in a manner consistent with the valuation performed at December 31, 2006 as described herein:
(a) First, pounds are estimated by management in each of the WIP inventory categories noted above.
(b) Then, raw pounds for each category are converted using the fixed conversion rates noted (See formula in Unit Cost Calculation attached at EXHIBIT I.1.2).
(c) Raw pounds are multiplied by the conversion rate to arrive at equivalent finished kernels.
(d) See Unit Cost Calculation attached at EXHIBIT I.1.2.
