  Exhibit 10.22    
    

 
  SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT    
    

        This Agreement (the "Agreement"), is entered into this 19th day of April, 2011 (the "Effective Date"), by and
between Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. ("MAUI") and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, a United States government corporation (the "PBGC"; and, collectively with MAUI, the
"Parties"). 

 
 

WITNESSETH    
    

        WHEREAS, PBGC is a wholly-owned United States government corporation established under
section 4002 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), 29
U.S.C. § 1302 (2006 & Supp. III 2009) to administer the pension plan termination insurance program created by Title IV of ERISA, 29 U.S.C.
§§ 1301-1461; and 

        WHERAS, MAUI is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Hawaii; and 

        WHERAS, MAUI is, and has been at all relevant times, the contributing sponsor (as that term is defined in 29 U.S.C.
§ 1301(a)(13) of the Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. Pension Plan for Bargaining Unit and Hourly Employees ("Pension
Plan"); and 

        WHERAS, the PBGC asserts that MAUI ceased operations on or about December 31, 2009 at its facilities located in Maui, Hawaii, and
as a result, certain employees who are participants in the Plan were separated from employment (the "Cessation of Operations" or the
"Event"); and 

        WHERAS, the PBGC asserts that the Cessation of Operations is an event described in ERISA §4062(e), and that MAUI and any other
members of its controlled group (as defined in ERISA §4001(a)(14) (MAUI or any other such member, a "Controlled Group Member") are therefore
subject to the provisions of ERISA §4063 and liable thereunder to PBGC with respect to the Plan; and 

        WHERAS, PBGC has estimated that MAUI's liability under ERISA §4063(b) as a result of the Event is $5.2 million (the
"Event Liability"); and 

        WHERAS, in lieu of the PBGC attempting to apply the provisions of subsections 4063(b), (c) or (d) of ERISA, 29 U.S.C.
§ 1363(b), (c) and (d), or otherwise enforcing against MAUI such liability that has resulted from the Cessation of Operations, the PBGC and MAUI have reached an understanding
with respect to the Event and such liability, under which MAUI will provide security to PBGC. 

        NOW THEREFORE, MAUI and PBGC, for good and valuable consideration set out herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, agree as follows: 

1.     Mortgage Security  

        1.1   To
secure up to $5.2 million of liability under 29 U.S.C. § 1362(a)(1) incurred upon any termination of the Pension Plan under 29 U.S.C.
§ 1341(c) or 29 U.S.C. § 1342 on or before the Agreement Termination Date, MAUI will, on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the Effective
Date, execute a first lien Mortgage in favor of PBGC (the "PBGC Mortgage") on the real property described in Exhibit A hereto (the
"Mortgaged Property"). 

        1.2.  Following
the Agreement Termination Date (as defined in Section 3.1 below), and at MAUI's sole expense, MAUI will
provide to PBGC a recordable discharge and release of the PBGC Mortgage. PBGC shall promptly execute and record such discharge and release. PBGC agrees, following the Agreement Termination Date, to
execute such other documents as may be necessary to effect and evidence the termination, discharge and release of such PBGC Mortgage. 

1

 

2.     Notice Requirements  

        2.1   During
the term of the Agreement, MAUI will provide notices and information to PBGC as follows: 

        (a)   The
Pension Plan's actuarial valuation report by October 31 of each plan year; 

        (b)   Written
notice no later than ten (10) days after the due date of any quarterly installment or other contribution to the Pension Plan required under 26 U.S.C.
§ 430(j) (a "Required Contribution") that MAUI has failed to timely pay; and 

        (c)   Copies
of all Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Forms 5310-A on the date filed with the IRS for any
plan merger or consolidation, spinoff, or transfer of plan assets or liabilities to another plan that involves the Pension Plan. In the event that any such Form 5310-A will not be
timely filed with the IRS, MAUI will notify PBGC at least 30 days before any plan merger or consolidation, spinoff, or transfer of plan assets or liabilities to another plan that involves the
Pension Plan. 

3.     Termination of the Agreement  

        3.1   This
Agreement will terminate upon the later of (the "Agreement Termination Date"): 

        (a)   the
fifth anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement (the "Fifth Anniversary"); or 

        (b)   if
an Event of Default (as defined in Section 5.1 below) that has not been waived by the PBGC in writing exists on
the Fifth Anniversary, the date upon which such Event of Default is cured. 

        3.2   Effective
on the Agreement Termination Date and in consideration of the terms, conditions, mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the adequacy and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the PBGC, on its own behalf, and in every other capacity in which it may now or in the future act, will be deemed to release and forever discharge each Controlled
Group Member, from any claim whatsoever with respect to any and all of such member's liability and/or obligations under sections 4062(e) and/or 4063 of ERISA with regard to the Cessation of
Operations.

        (d)   MAUI

3
