the date of filing; or

        Section 3.2.    Mortgagee's Remedies Upon Default.    Upon a default, Mortgagee may, at Mortgagee's option, do
any one or more of the following: 

        (a)   If
Mortgagor has failed to keep or perform any covenant whatsoever contained in this Mortgage, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to any person to do so, perform
or attempt to perform said covenant, and any payment made or expense incurred in the performance or attempted performance of any such covenant, including interest, shall be and become a part of the
Obligation secured hereby, and Mortgagor promises, upon demand, to pay to Mortgagee, at its address set forth in the opening paragraph of this Mortgage, all sums so advanced or paid by Mortgagee, with
interest at the lesser of (i) the rate provided in 29 C.F.R. § 4062.7(c), compounded daily (the "4062.7(c) Rate"), and
(ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law (such lesser rate, the "Applicable Rate"), accruing from the date when paid or incurred by
Mortgagee. No such payment by Mortgagee shall constitute a waiver of any default. 

        (b)   Mortgagee
may declare the entire unpaid balance of the Obligation immediately due and payable, and upon such declaration, the entire unpaid balance of the Obligation
shall be immediately due and payable. 

        (c)   The
Mortgagor, upon demand of the Mortgagee, shall forthwith surrender to the Mortgagee the actual possession of the Property and, to the extent permitted by law, the
Mortgagee itself or such officers or agents as it may appoint: (i) may enter and take possession of the Property, together with the books, papers and accounts of the Mortgagor relating thereto;
(ii) may exclude the Mortgagor, and the Mortgagor's agents and servants therefrom; (iii) may hold, operate and manage the same; and (iv) may receive tolls, rents, revenues,
issues, income, product and profits thereof and out of the same may pay all proper costs and expenses of so taking, holding and managing the same, including reasonable compensation to the Mortgagee's
agents, attorneys and counsel, and any taxes and assessments and other charges prior to the lien of the Mortgage, which the Mortgagee shall deem necessary or desirable to pay, and all expenses of such
repairs, alterations, additions and improvements, and other disbursements made by the Mortgagee 

5

 

pursuant
to the terms hereof, and may apply the remainder of the monies so received by the Mortgagee to the payment of any sums secured hereby. 

        (d)   The
Mortgagee may, to the extent permitted by law, with or without first taking possession, sell the Property, in whole or, to the extent permitted by law, in part, at
public auction in the State of Hawaii, or at such place as may be required by law, having first given notice of such sale by publication as may be required by law, and may adjourn such sale from time
to time by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or adjourned sale, and upon such sale, the Mortgagee may make and deliver to any purchaser a good and sufficient deed, assignment,
conveyance, or bill of sale, and good and sufficient receipts for the purchase money, and do and perform all other acts as may be necessary fully to carry into effect this power of sale. It is the
intent of this Mortgage that Mortgagee shall have a power of sale sufficient to foreclose on the Property pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 667, Part I or Part II, or
under any other applicable law. 

        (e)   The
Mortgagee may, either with or without first taking possession, proceed by action or actions at law or in equity, or by any other appropriate remedy, to enforce
payment of the Obligation or performance of any other obligation secured hereby, and to foreclose this Mortgage, and to sell, in whole, or to the extent permitted by law, in part, the Property under
the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Mortgage, the Settlement Agreement or otherwise will preclude Mortgagee from taking any action to collect any
liabilities under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, not secured hereby ("Remaining Title IV
Obligations") and Mortgagee reserves any and all rights under applicable law to take any such action, provided however that Mortgagee may only exercise any remedies under this
Mortgage following the occurrence of a default. 

        (f)    Mortgagee,
as a matter of right and without regard to the sufficiency of the security, and without any showing of insolvency, fraud or mismanagement on the part of
Mortgagor, and without the necessity of filing any judicial or other proceeding other than the proceeding for appointment of a receiver, shall be entitled to the appointment (without bond) of a
receiver or receivers of the Property or any part thereof, and of the income, rents, issues and profits thereof. 

        (g)   Mortgagee
shall have the right to enforce one or more remedies hereunder, or any other remedy the Mortgagee may have under the Settlement Agreement or applicable law,
successively or concurrently, including, but not limited to, the right to foreclose this Mortgage with respect to any portion of the Property, if the operation of the remaining portion thereof is not
thereby rendered unlawful under the then applicable laws, rules and regulations of the governmental authorities having jurisdiction in the premises, without thereby impairing the lien of this Mortgage
on the remainder of the Property or affecting the remedies of the Mortgagee available with respect thereto. 

        (h)   Upon
any sale, either under the power of sale hereby given or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings for foreclosure, or otherwise for enforcement of this
Mortgage, the unpaid principal amount of the Settlement Agreement, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other obligations hereby secured, if not previously due, shall at once become and be immediately
due and payable. 

        (i)    Upon
any such sale, the Mortgagee may bid for and purchase the Property or any part thereof, and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and possess
and dispose of such property in its absolute right without further accountability, and the Mortgagee, at any such sale may, if permitted by law, after allowing for the proportion of the total purchase
price required to be paid in cash for the costs and expenses of the sale, commissioner's compensation and other charges, in paying purchase money, credit bid the amount of the Obligation in lieu of
cash, up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon. 

6

 

The
Mortgagee shall be permitted to bid at any public auction held to sell the Property without payment of a deposit or down payment of any kind. The Mortgagee shall not be required at confirmation of
any public auction sale to extend credit or financing of any kind to the Mortgagor or any other party that may acquire the Property. 

        (j)    Any
such sale shall, to the extent permitted by law, be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against the Mortgagor and all persons and corporations lawfully
claiming by or through or under the Mortgagor; and the Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of the Mortgagor, in the Mortgagor's name and stead, for the purpose of
effectuating any such sale, to execute and deliver all necessary deeds, conveyances, assignments, bills of sale and other instruments with power to substitute one or more persons or corporations with
like power; provided, that the Mortgagor shall ratify and confirm any such sale or transfer if required by the Mortgagee by delivering all proper conveyances or other instruments to such persons or
corporations as may be designated in any such request. 

        (k)   In
case the Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right hereunder and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then in every
such case, the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Property, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Mortgagee shall
continue as if no such proceedings had been taken. No remedy herein reserved to the Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute. 

        Section 3.3.    Other Rights of Mortgagee.    Mortgagor covenants promptly to reimburse and pay to Mortgagee on
demand, at the place where the Obligation is payable, the amount of all reasonable expenses (including the cost of any insurance, taxes or other charges) incurred by Mortgagee in connection with
Mortgagee's custody, preservation, use or operation of the Property, together with interest thereon from the date incurred by Mortgagee at theApplicable Rate, and all such expenses, costs, taxes,
interest and other charges shall be and become a part of the Obligation secured hereby. It is agreed, however, that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Mortgagor, and Mortgagee shall have
no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to obtain or maintain insurance, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to amount or as to the
risks insured. 

        Section 3.4.    Possession After Foreclosure.    If the liens or security interests hereof shall be foreclosed
by power of sale, by judicial action or otherwise, the purchaser at any such sale shall receive immediate possession of the property purchased, and if Mortgagor or Mortgagor's successors shall hold
possession of said property or any part thereof, subsequent to foreclosure, Mortgagor and Mortgagor's successors shall be considered as tenants at sufferance of the purchaser at foreclosure sale
(without limitation of other rights or remedies, at a reasonable rental per day, due and payable daily, based upon the value of the portion of the Property so occupied), and anyone occupying such
portion of the Property after demand is made for possession thereof shall be guilty of trespass and shall be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law, and
all damages by reason thereof are hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor and Mortgagor's successors. 

7

 

 

        Section 3.5.    Application of Proceeds.    The proceeds from any sale, lease or other disposition made
pursuant to this Article, or the proceeds from the surrender of any insurance policies pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage, or any rental collected by Mortgagee from the Property, or proceeds from
insurance which Mortgagee elects to apply to the Obligation, shall be applied by Mortgagee as follows: first, to the payment of all expenses incurred by Mortgagee in enforcing or exercising its rights
under this Mortgage, including without limitation, any expenses of advertising, selling and conveying the Property or part thereof, including reasonable attorneys' and commissioner's fees; second, to
accrued interest on the Obligation at the 4062.7(c) Rate; third, to principal on the matured portion of the Obligation; fourth, to prepayment of the unmatured portion, if any, of the Obligation
applied to installments of principal in the inverse order of maturity; and fifth, the balance, if any, remaining after the full and final payment and performance of the Obligation to the person or
persons legally entitled thereto. If such proceeds shall be insufficient to discharge the entire Obligation, the Mortgagee shall have any other legal recourse against the Mortgagor for the deficiency.
In addition, Mortgagee reserves any and all rights under applicable law to exercise any right or remedy to collect any Remaining Title IV Obligations regardless of whether or not such proceeds shall
be sufficient to discharge the entire Obligation. 

 
 

  ARTICLE IV    
    
    SECURITY AGREEMENT    
    

        This Mortgage is also a security agreement between Mortgagor, as debtor, and Mortgagee, as secured party. Mortgagor hereby grants to
Mortgagee and Mortgagee's successors and assigns, a security interest in those portions of the Property in which a security interest may lawfully be created, including without limitation:
(i) those portions of the Property which constitute Accessories and each and every part thereof; (ii) all proceeds from the sale, lease or other disposition of all or any part of the
Property; and (iii) all sums, proceeds, funds and reserves described or referred to
in this Mortgage. However, the grant of a security interest in proceeds shall not be deemed to authorize any action otherwise prohibited herein. The security interest created hereby is specifically
intended to cover and include all Leases including all extended terms and all extensions and renewals of the terms thereof, as well as any amendments to or replacements of said Leases, together with
all the right, title and interest of Mortgagor, as lessor thereunder, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the present and continuing right to make claim for, collect, receive
and receipt for any and all of the rents, income, revenues, issues and profits and moneys payable as damages or in lieu of rent and moneys payable as the purchase price of the Property or any part
thereof or of awards or claims for money and other sums of money payable or receivable thereunder howsoever payable, and to bring actions and proceedings thereunder or for the enforcement thereof, and
to do any and all things which Mortgagor or any lessor is or may become entitled to do under the Leases; provided, that this provision shall not impair or diminish any obligation of Mortgagor under
the Leases, nor shall any obligation be imposed upon Mortgagee. In addition to Mortgagee's rights hereunder or otherwise, Mortgagee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the Hawaii
Uniform Commercial Code (the "Code"). Mortgagee may, from time to time, file all financing statements as required by Mortgagee in order to establish or
maintain the validity, perfection or priority of the security interests created herein. Mortgagor shall (a) promptly pay to Mortgagee on demand all costs of preparation and filing of financing
statements pursuant hereto and all costs of Code searches reasonably required by Mortgagee and (b) give to Mortgagee a certificate in form satisfactory to Mortgagee listing all trade names of
Mortgagor and under which Mortgagor operates or intends to operate the Property or any part thereof, and give to Mortgagee advance written notice of any proposed change of any such trade name and of
any change of name (or trade name or assumed name), identity or structure of Mortgagor. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Mortgage or of a financing statement executed pursuant
hereto is sufficient as a financing statement. This Mortgage is, without limitation, intended to be a financing statement filed as a fixture filing with respect to the portions of the Property which
are or are to 

8

 

become
fixtures, and as a mineral, crop and timber filing. The addresses of Mortgagor (debtor) and Mortgagee (secured party—from whom information concerning the security interest may be
obtained) is set forth on the first page hereof. Mortgagor is the record owner of the Land, the Improvements, the Accessories and the rest of the Property.

    SPECIAL PROVISIONS    
    

        Section 5.1.    Condemnation Proceeds.    If the Property or any part thereof shall be condemned, the Mortgagee
may appear and defend any such suit and is hereby irrevocably authorized, to collect all of the proceeds and apply the same upon any covenant, agreement, obligation or condition secured hereby. All
costs, expenses and attorneys' fees paid or incurred by the Mortgagee in the course of such proceedings shall become part of the Obligation secured hereby. Notwithstanding any taking by eminent
domain, alteration of the grade of any Street or other injury to or decrease in value of the Property by any public or quasi-public authority or corporation, any interest imposed under 29
U.S.C.§ 1362(b)(1) and 29 C.F.R. § 4062.7(c) shall continue to accrue until any and all liability under 29 U.S.C. § 1362(b)(1) has been
satisfied without regard to whether or not an award or payment from such authority or corporation has been received by the Mortgagee, and any reduction in the Obligation secured hereby shall be deemed
to take effect only on the date of such receipt. Any such award or payment received by or under the control of the Mortgagee, less the cost, if any, incurred by Mortgagee with respect thereto, shall,
unless the Mortgagor is in default under the terms of this Mortgage, be applied toward the payment of the cost of altering, restoring or rebuilding any part of the Property which may have been
altered, damaged or destroyed as a result of any such taking, alteration of grade or other injury to the Property, on proof sufficient to the Mortgagee that the sum requested is justly required to pay
the contractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or other persons rendering services or materials in connection with such work. Upon the completion of the work and payments in full
therefor, or if the Mortgagor is in default under any of the terms of this Mortgage, Mortgagee may apply any remaining amount of any such proceeds to the payment of any indebtedness secured by this
Mortgage. If, prior to the receipt by the Mortgagee of such award or payment, the Property shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall have the right to receive such
award or payment to the extent of the mortgage debt remaining unsatisfied after such sale of the Property, with interest thereon at the 4062.7(c) Rate and reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and
disbursements incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with the collection of such award or payment. 

        Section 5.2.    Insurance Proceeds.    In the event of any casualty at the Property, Mortgagor will give
immediate notice by mail to Mortgagee, who may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Mortgagor, and each insurance company concerned is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for such
loss directly to Mortgagee and not to Mortgagor and Mortgagee jointly. All insurance proceeds received by or under the control of the Mortgagee on account of damage or destruction to any Property,
less the cost, if any, incurred by Mortgagee with respect thereto, shall, unless the Mortgagor is in default under the terms of this Mortgage, be applied toward the payment of the cost of repairing,
restoring or rebuilding the Property so damaged or destroyed according to the original plans and specifications, or such others as may be approved by the Mortgagee, on proof sufficient to the
Mortgagee that the sum requested is justly required to pay the contractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or other persons rendering services or materials in connection with such work.
Upon the completion of the work and payment in full therefor, or if the Mortgagor is in default under any of the terms of this Mortgage, Mortgagee may apply any remaining amount of any such proceeds
to the payment of any indebtedness secured by this Mortgage. If, prior to the receipt by the Mortgagee of such insurance proceeds, the Property shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Mortgage,
the Mortgagee shall have the right to receive such insurance proceeds to the extent of the mortgage debt remaining unsatisfied after such sale of the Property, with interest thereon at the 4062.7(c)
Rate and 

9

 

reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with the collection of such insurance proceeds. 

        Section 5.3.    Right to Accelerate Upon Transfer.    

        (a)   Mortgagor
may transfer all or any portion of the Property, subject to this Mortgage, to any Affiliate of Mortgagor, without obtaining the consent of Mortgagee, but
Mortgagor shall provide prompt written notice to Mortgagee of any such transfer. An "Affiliate of Mortgagor" means any company that controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with Mortgagor; and the term "control" shall mean the ownership directly or indirectly of more than 50% of the voting power of a company. 

        (b)   Mortgagor
may enter into one or more commercially reasonable Leases (as defined in Section 6.1) of all or any portion of the Property with persons or companies
other than Affiliates of Mortgagor, without obtaining the consent of Mortgagee, but Mortgagor shall provide prompt written notice to Mortgagee of any such Lease. 

        (c)   Except
as provided, in Subsections 5.3 (a) or (b) above, if all or any portion of the Property shall be transferred or leased to any person or
company, then, unless the Mortgagee approves said action, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, all of the indebtedness hereby secured shall at once become due and payable at the option
of the Mortgagee. 

        (d)   Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Mortgage to the contrary, if Mortgagor enters into any lease permitted or approved under either  Subsection 5.3(b) or (c) above ("Permitted
Leases"), then Mortgagee shall, upon request, enter
into a Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement reasonably acceptable to the Lessee, pursuant to which Mortgagee shall agree that in the event of a default under this
Mortgage by Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall not disturb such Lessee's possession of the leased premises or rights under its Permitted Lease, so long as such Lessee is not in default under such Permitted
Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period. Any proceeding by Mortgagee to foreclose this Mortgage, or any action by way of its entry into possession after default, shall not
operate to terminate any Permitted Lease, and Mortgagee will not cause any Lessee under any such Permitted Lease to be disturbed in his possession and enjoyment of the leased premises, so long as such
Lessee is not in default under such Permitted Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period. 

        Section 5.4.    Contest of Certain Claims.    Notwithstanding the provisions of  Subsections 2.2(b) or 2.2(h) hereof, Mortgagor shall
not be in default for failure to pay or discharge any tax, assessment, or mechanic's or
materialman's lien asserted against the Property if, and so long as, (a) Mortgagor shall
have notified Mortgagee of same within five days of obtaining knowledge thereof; (b) Mortgagor shall diligently and in good faith contest the same by appropriate legal proceedings which shall
operate to prevent the enforcement or collection of the same and the sale of the Property or any part thereof, to satisfy the same; (c) Mortgagor shall have furnished to Mortgagee a cash
deposit, or an indemnity bond satisfactory to Mortgagee with a surety satisfactory to Mortgagee, in the amount of the tax, assessment or mechanic's or materialman's lien claim, plus a reasonable
additional sum to pay all costs, interest and penalties that may be imposed or incurred in connection therewith, to assure payment of the matters under contest and to prevent any sale or forfeiture of
the Property or any part thereof; (d) Mortgagor shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such tax, assessment or claim so determined, together with all costs,
interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (e) the failure to pay the tax, assessment or mechanic's or materialman's lien claim does not constitute a default under any
other deed of trust, mortgage or security interest covering or affecting any part of the Property; and (f) notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor shall immediately upon request of Mortgagee
pay (and if Mortgagor shall fail so to do, Mortgagee may, but shall not be required to, pay or cause to be discharged or bonded against) any such tax, assessment or claim notwithstanding such contest,
if in the reasonable opinion of Mortgagee the Property shall be in 

10

 

jeopardy
or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed. Mortgagee may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Mortgagee,
the entitlement of such claimant is established. 

 
 

  ARTICLE VI    
    
    LEASES AND ASSIGNMENT OF RENTAL    
    

        Section 6.1.    Definitions.    As used in this Mortgage:
(a) "Lease" means any lease, sublease or other agreement under the terms of which any person or entity has or acquires any right to occupy or use
the Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, including all extended or renewal terms thereof and all modifications or amendments thereto and replacements therefor;
(b) "Lessee" means the lessee, sublessee, tenant or other person or entity having the right to occupy or use a part of the Property under a
Lease; and (c) "Rental" means the rents, royalties and other consideration payable to Mortgagor by the Lessee under the terms of a Lease. 

        Section 6.2.    Assignment of Rental.    Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all Rental payable under each
Lease now or at any time hereafter existing, such assignment being upon the following terms: (a) until receipt from Mortgagee of notice of the occurrence of a default, each Lessee may pay
Rental directly to Mortgagor, but Mortgagor covenants that it will from and after receipt from Mortgagee of notice of default hold all Rental so paid in trust for the use and benefit of Mortgagee;
(b) upon receipt from Mortgagee of notice that a default exists, each Lessee is hereby authorized and directed to pay directly to Mortgagee all Rental thereafter accruing, and a receipt for
such payment from Mortgagee shall be a release of such Lessee to the extent of all amounts so paid; (c) Rental so received by Mortgagee shall be applied by Mortgagee, first, to the expenses, if
any, of collection and then in accordance with Section 3.5; (d) without impairing its rights hereunder, Mortgagee may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, release to
Mortgagor Rental so received by Mortgagee, or any part thereof; (e) Mortgagee shall not be liable for its failure to collect, or its failure to exercise diligence in the collection of Rental,
but shall be accountable only for Rental that it shall actually receive; and (f) this assignment shall terminate upon the release of this Mortgage but no Lessee shall be required to take notice
of termination until a copy of such release shall have been delivered to such Lessee. As between Mortgagee and Mortgagor or any person or entity claiming through or under Mortgagor, other than a
Lessee who has not received notice of default pursuant to Subsection 6.2(b) hereof, the assignment contained in this Subsection is intended to be
absolute, unconditional and presently effective and the provisions of Subsection 6.2(a) and 6.2(b) hereof are intended solely for the benefit of
each Lessee and shall never inure to the benefit of Mortgagor or any person or entity claiming through or under Mortgagor, other than a Lessee who has not received such notice. It shall never be
necessary for Mortgagee to institute legal proceedings of any kind whatsoever to enforce the provisions of this Section. 

        Section 6.3.    Mortgagor's Obligations.    Mortgagor shall: (a) upon demand by Mortgagee, assign to
Mortgagee, by separate instrument in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, any or all Leases, or the Rental payable thereunder, including but not limited to, any Lease which is now in
existence or which may be executed after the date hereof; (b) neither accept from any Lessee, nor permit any Lessee to pay, Rental for more than one month in advance not including a customary
security deposit; (c) comply, as lessor, with the terms and provisions of each Lease; (d) not waive, excuse, release or condone any nonperformance of any covenants of any Lessee;
(e) give to Mortgagee duplicate notice of each default by each Lessee; and (f) cause each Lessee to agree (and each Lessee under each Lease executed after the date hereof does so agree)
to give to Mortgagee written notice of each and every default by Mortgagor under its Lease and not to exercise any remedies under such Lease unless Mortgagee fails to cure such default within ten
days, or within such longer period as may be reasonably 

11

 

necessary
if such default cannot be cured within ten days, after Mortgagee has received such notice, provided that Mortgagee shall never have any obligation or duty to cure any such default. 

        Section 6.4.    Mortgagee's Collection of Rental.    In the event Mortgagee ever collects Rental through an
agent, Mortgagee shall be entitled to pay its agent as compensation for collecting such Rental, from sums so collected, a sum not to exceed five percent of the Rental so collected.

        (e)   Neither
Mortgagor nor any Lessee has received any notice from any Governmental Authority with respect to any violation of any Governmental Requirements.

result of (a) the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, or release from the Property of any Hazardous Materials or any Hazardous Materials
Contamination, or (b) the environmental condition of the Property or the applicability of any Governmental Requirements relating to Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, CERCLA or
any federal, state, or local law, including so-called "Superfund" or "Superlien" laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, orders, or decrees.

  ARTICLE VIII    
    
    MISCELLANEOUS    
    

        Section 8.1.    Release.    Upon termination of the Settlement Agreement if no liability has arisen under 29
U.S.C. § 1362(b)(1) with respect to the Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. Pension Plan for Bargaining Unit and Hourly Employees or upon payment in full of the
Obligation, Mortgagee shall execute and deliver to Mortgagor a release of this Mortgage in form sufficient for recording in the Bureau of Conveyances of the State of Hawaii prepared by Mortgagor at
its sole expense. 

        Section 8.2.    Waiver.    Any and all covenants in this Mortgage may, from time to time, by instrument in
writing signed by Mortgagee and delivered to Mortgagor, be waived to such extent and in such manner as Mortgagee may desire, but no such waiver shall ever affect or impair Mortgagee's rights,
remedies, powers, privileges, liens, titles and security interests hereunder except to the extent so specifically stated in such written instrument. No waiver of any default on the part of Mortgagor
or a breach of any of the provisions of this Mortgage or of the Settlement Agreement shall be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach, and no delay or omission in exercising

or entity or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, neither the remainder of this Mortgage nor the application of such provision to any other person or
entity or circumstance shall be affected thereby, but rather the same shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. If the rights and liens created by this Mortgage shall be held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Obligation, the portion of the Obligation which as the result of such invalidity or unenforceability is no longer
secured by the liens and security interests herein granted shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the portion, if any, of the Obligation which shall continue to be secured hereunder, and all
payments made on the Obligation shall be considered to have been paid on and applied first to the complete payment of the unsecured portion of the Obligation. 

        Section 8.5.    Binding Effect.    The covenants herein contained shall bind, and the benefits and advantages
shall inure to, the respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto and shall be covenants running with the Land. The term

similar compounds of the words "here" when used in this Mortgage shall refer to the entire Mortgage and not to any provision or section. 

        Section 8.7.    Controlling Law.    This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Hawaii
law and applicable United States federal law.

Restricted Stock Agreement

 

The terms of this Agreement shall govern the Restricted Stock Award (the “Award”) described in the attached Notification and Acceptance of Restricted Stock Award (the “Notice”).  Capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Notice.  The Company agrees to issue the Restricted Shares to the Holder in consideration of the premises made herein and for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement as follows:

 

1.             Vesting Schedule.  The interest of the Holder in the Restricted Shares shall vest, as to one-fourth of the Restricted Shares, on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, and, as to an additional one-fourth of the Restricted Shares, on each succeeding anniversary thereof, so as to be 100% vested on the fourth anniversary thereof, conditioned upon the Holder’s continued service as a Director of the Company as of each vesting date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest of the Holder in the Restricted Shares shall vest as to 100% of the then unvested Restricted Shares upon the Holder’s termination of service to the Company due to death or Disability.  As used herein, the term “Disability” shall mean any condition, arising by reason of ill health or otherwise, on account of which the Holder shall become unable to perform services as a Director of the Company for a period of six (6) consecutive months.

 

2.             Forfeiture of Restricted Shares.

 

(a)           The Restricted Shares may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred until the Restricted Shares become vested in accordance with Paragraph 1 hereof.  The period of time between the Grant Date and the date Restricted Shares become vested is referred to herein as the “Restriction Period” for each of such shares.

 

(b)           If service for the Company as a Director is terminated by the Company for any reason (other than death or Disability), the balance of the Restricted Shares that have not vested at the time of the Holder’s termination of service shall be forfeited by the Holder and shall automatically be transferred and returned to the Company.

 

3.             Escrow of Certificates.

 

(a)           Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Holder shall deposit with the Company the certificates representing all of the Restricted Shares and shall, promptly upon acquisition of any additional shares of stock, property or securities described in Paragraphs 5 or 6 hereof, deposit with the Company the certificates for such additional shares, such other property, or instruments representing such securities.  Any such additional shares, property or securities shall for all purposes be deemed Restricted Shares under this Agreement.  To all certificates deposited by the Holder with the Company, there shall be attached stock powers, duly executed by the Holder in blank, constituting and appointing the Company his attorney to transfer such stock on the books of the Company.  The Company shall hold such certificates and stock powers for the purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company may elect to have the Restricted Shares, including, without limitation, any additional shares of stock, property or securities described in Paragraphs 5 or 6

hereof, issued in book-entry in the Company’s stock record books.  The Holder shall continue to be the owner of the Restricted Shares despite such deposit and stock powers or book-entry issuance and shall be entitled to exercise all rights of ownership in such Restricted Shares, subject, however, to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(b)           In performing its duties under this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to rely upon any statement, notice, or other writing that it shall in good faith believe to be genuine and to be signed or presented by a proper party or parties and on other evidence or information deemed by it to be reliable.  In no event shall the Company be liable for any action taken or omitted in good faith.  The Company may consult with its counsel or counsel of any of the other parties hereto and, without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, shall not be held liable for any action taken or omitted in good faith on advice of such counsel.

 

It is further agreed that if any controversy arises, between the parties hereto or with any third person, with respect to the Restricted Shares or any part of the subject matter of this Agreement or its terms or conditions, the Company shall not be required to take any actions in the premises, but may await the settlement of any such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or otherwise as it may require, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and in such event the Company shall not be liable for interest or damages.

 

In the event that a dispute should arise with respect to the delivery, right to possession, and/or ownership of the certificates, instruments or other property held by the Company representing the Restricted Shares, the Company is authorized to retain such certificates, instruments or other property, as well as any other evidence relating thereto, in its possession, or any portion thereof, without liability to anyone, until such dispute shall have been settled either by mutual written agreement of the parties concerned or by final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction after the time for appeal has expired and no appeal has been perfected, but the Company shall be under no duty whatsoever hereunder to institute or defend any such proceedings.

 

The provisions of this Paragraph 3(b) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

4.             Restriction on Transfer.  Other than as set forth in the preceding Paragraphs of this Agreement with respect to transfers to the Company, the Holder shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose of, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively, “transfer”), any of the Restricted Shares or any interest therein, unless and until such Restricted Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture under Paragraph 2 and, accordingly, the Restriction Period with respect to such shares has terminated.

 

5.             Stock Dividends and Certain Other Issuances and Payments.  If the Company shall pay a stock dividend on the Common Stock, or be a party to a merger, consolidation, capital reorganization or recapitalization in which, while existing Common Stock remains outstanding, securities of the Company are issued with respect to any of the Common Stock, the stock or other securities issued in payment of such dividend, or issued in connection with such merger, consolidation, capital reorganization or recapitalization, shall be added to, and deemed part of,

 

3

 

the Restricted Shares for all purposes of this Agreement.  If the Company shall make a distribution of property other than cash or shares of Common Stock on any of the Common Stock, or shall distribute with respect to the Common Stock securities of another corporation, such property or securities shall be added to, and deemed part of, the Restricted Shares for all purposes of this Agreement.  All references in Paragraph 3 hereof to “additional shares of stock, property or securities described in this Paragraph 5 or Paragraph 6 hereof,” to “certificates” and to “stock powers” shall be deemed to include, without limitation, reference to any shares, property or securities issued or distributed, as applicable, as described in this Paragraph 5 or Paragraph 6 hereof, to certificates or instruments representing any such shares or securities, and to stock powers for such certificates or appropriate instruments of transfer for such instruments, respectively.  In the event of any dividend, merger, consolidation, capital reorganization, recapitalization or distribution described in this Paragraph 5, any unvested Restricted Shares shall remain subject to forfeiture as set forth herein, but the provisions hereof shall be appropriately adjusted by the Company so that they will continue to apply with similar effect to any new Restricted Shares resulting from such dividend, merger, consolidation, capital reorganization, recapitalization or distribution.

 

6.             Stock Splits, Recapitalizations and Other Events.  If the outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or combined into a smaller number of shares, or in the event of a reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or if the Company shall be a party to any merger, consolidation, recapitalization or capital reorganization in which securities are issued in exchange for the Restricted Shares, there shall be substituted for the Restricted Shares hereunder such amount and kind of securities as are issued in such subdivision, combination, reclassification, merger, consolidation, recapitalization or capital reorganization with respect to the Restricted Shares outstanding immediately prior thereto and, thereafter, such securities shall for all purposes be deemed the Restricted Shares hereunder.  In any such event, the unvested Restricted Shares shall remain subject to forfeiture as set forth herein, but the provisions hereof shall be appropriately adjusted by the Company so that they will continue to apply with similar effect to such new Restricted Shares.

 

7.             No Transfer in Violation of Agreement.  The Company shall not be required to transfer any of the Restricted Shares on its books that shall purportedly have been sold, assigned or otherwise transferred in violation of this Agreement, or to treat as owner of such shares, or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to, any person or entity to which any such shares shall purportedly have been sold, assigned or otherwise transferred in violation of this Agreement.  It is expressly understood and agreed that the restrictions on transfer imposed by this Agreement shall apply not only to voluntary transfers but also to involuntary transfers, by operation of law or otherwise.  The Holder shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the Company arising out of or relating to any purported sale, assignment or transfer of any Restricted Shares in violation of this Agreement.

 

8.             Legend.  The certificates representing any shares of the Restricted Shares to be issued to the Holder that are subject to forfeiture shall have endorsed thereon, in addition to any other legends thereon, legends substantially in the following form:

 

The securities represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer and forfeiture to the Corporation, as set forth in a restricted stock agreement between the

Corporation and the registered holder hereof, a copy of which will be provided to the holder hereof by the Corporation upon written request and without charge.

 

9.             Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.  Any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision of this Agreement shall be severable, and after any such severance, all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

 

10.          Equitable Relief.  The Holder acknowledges that money damages alone will not adequately compensate the Company for breach of any of the Holder’s covenants and agreements herein and, therefore, agrees that in the event of the breach or threatened breach of any such covenant or agreement, in addition to all other remedies available to the Company, at law, in equity or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief compelling specific performance of, or other compliance with, the terms hereof.

 

11.          Tax Matters.  The Holder will be liable for any and all taxes, including, without limitation, withholding taxes, arising out of the grant or the vesting of the Restricted Shares hereunder, and shall be solely responsible for obtaining such tax treatment of the Restricted Shares and of Holder’s receipt thereof as the Holder may desire, including, without limitation, any timely filing of an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

(a)           The Holder will provide the Company with all information that the Company shall request in connection with the Holder’s receipt of the Restricted Shares, and any subsequent sale(s) or other disposition(s) thereof, in order for the Company to satisfy tax, accounting and securities laws reporting and other regulatory requirements.  Information with respect to sale(s) or disposition(s) of Restricted Shares by the Holder should be delivered to the Company before the end of the month within which they occurred.  Information should be provided to the attention of the Company’s General Counsel or, in his absence, to its Chief Financial Officer.

 

(b)           Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder shall defend, indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against any and all damages, costs, expenses, fines, penalties, reasonable attorney’s fees and claims of every kind or nature arising from the Holder’s failure to provide any information required hereunder or to pay any tax amounts promptly and when due.

 

(c)           Section 83(b) Tax Election.  The Holder acknowledges that the Company has advised the Holder of the possibility of making an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Restricted Shares.  The Holder should consult with his or her tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of acquiring the Restricted Shares and the potential advantages and potential disadvantages of filing the Section 83(b) election in light of the Holder’s individual circumstances.  The Holder acknowledges that it is his or her sole responsibility, and not that of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, to file a timely election under Section 83(b) and that the right to make such an election will be lost if notice of such election is not timely filed.

(d)           Holder shall, no later than the date as of which the value of any Restricted Shares first becomes includable in the gross income of the Holder for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of any Federal, state, local and/or payroll taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld as a result thereof.  The Company and its affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Holder.

 

12.          Notices.  Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (a) upon personal delivery, (b) on the first business day after being sent by express mail or a nationally recognized overnight courier service, (c) upon transmission by facsimile with receipt confirmed, or (d) on the third business day after being sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.  To be effective, any such notice shall be addressed, if to the Company, at its principal office, and if to the Holder at the last address of record on the books of the Company or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days prior written notice to the other party hereto.

 

13.          Benefit of the Agreement.  The rights and obligations of the Holder hereunder are personal to the Holder and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such rights and obligations may not be assigned or delegated by the Holder without the prior written consent of the Company.  Any assignment or delegation of such rights and obligations of the Holder absent such consent shall be void and of no force or effect.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Company and the heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the Holder, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein.  The rights and remedies of the Company hereunder shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies the Company may have, at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise.  No modification, renewal, extension, waiver or termination of this Agreement or any of the provisions herein contained shall be binding upon the Company unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

 

14.          Choice of Law and Forum.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the substantive laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.  All litigation arising from or relating to this Agreement shall be filed and prosecuted before any court of competent subject matter jurisdiction located in Boston, Massachusetts.  The Holder consents to the jurisdiction of such courts over him, stipulates to the convenience, efficiency and fairness of proceeding in such courts, and covenants not to allege or assert the inconvenience, inefficiency or unfairness of proceeding in such courts.

 

15.          Fractional Shares.  Any fractional shares resulting from a computation of the vested Restricted Shares made pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

 

16.          No Right To Employment/Provide Services.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Holder any right to be retained in any position as an employee of, or to provide or continue to provide services to, the Company.

17.          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Plan and the other documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, written and oral, with respect thereto.

 

18.          Construction.  The genders and numbers used in this Agreement are used as reference terms only and shall apply with the same effect whether the parties are of the masculine, neuter or feminine gender, corporate or other form, and the singular shall likewise include the plural.
