2



 

I.  Revolving Credit

 

1.1                                 In General.

 

(a)                                  Commitments.  Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Lenders hereby establish a credit facility in favor of the Borrower (the “Credit Facility”) under which each Lender hereby severally agrees to extend credit to the Borrower, from time to time and at any time prior to the Expiry Date (the “Term”), by way of cash advances and the issuance of standby letters of credit pursuant to Section 1.1(b).  Each extension of credit shall be in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment Percentage of the total extension of credit on any occasion; provided, however, that (1) the aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding of all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and amounts available to be drawn under Letters of Credit shall not exceed $30,000,000 (“the Aggregate Loan Commitment”), (2) no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower under the Credit Facility which shall exceed, in the aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding, such Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment, (3) each extension of credit under the Credit Facility shall be made by the several Lenders ratably, in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment Percentage of the total amount of credit to be extended on any occasion, (4) no Lender shall have any obligation or liability to the Borrower or any other Person as a result of the failure of another of the Lenders to observe any of its obligations under the Loan Agreement, and (5) no Lender (in its capacity as such) shall have any obligation or liability to the Borrower or any other Person as a result of the failure of the Agent to observe any of its obligations under the Loan Agreement or the Agency Agreement.

 

During the Term the Borrower may obtain credit, repay without penalty or premium and obtain further credit under the Credit Facility, either the full amount of the Aggregate Loan Commitment or any lesser sum, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.1(b).

 

(b)                                 Drawings.  The Borrower may draw on the Credit Facility in the following manner:

 

(1)                                  By obtaining a cash advance (a “Revolving Loan”), in an amount not less than $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000, which shall be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan.

 

(2)                                  By obtaining a loan from the Swingline Lender (a “Swingline Loan”) under the terms and conditions of Section 1.10, in an amount not less than $100,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000, provided, however, that the maximum aggregate principal amount under all Swingline Loans (the “Swingline Outstandings”) shall not exceed $2,000,000 at any one time.  Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans are herein collectively called the “Loans”.

 

3



 

(3)                                  By obtaining the issuance of a nontransferable standby letter of credit (a “Letter of Credit”), with a maturity date not longer than one year after the issuance date or the Expiry Date, whichever shall first occur; provided, however, that the aggregate amount available to be drawn under all pending Letters of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Liability”) shall not exceed $1,000,000 at any one time.

 

1.2                                 Purpose.  The proceeds of the Loans and the other extensions of credit under the Credit Facility shall be used exclusively for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

 

1.3                                 Security.  The Credit Facility and the Loans and other extensions of credit shall be secured by liens on or security interests in the following collateral (“Collateral”), which liens or security interests shall be of first priority unless otherwise approved by the Lenders:  the land and improvements, situate at Kapalua, Maui, Hawaii, known as the Village Golf Course, the Plantation Golf Course and the Bay Golf Course.  If the Lenders reasonably believe that the loan to value ratio with respect to the Collateral exceeds 65%, the Lenders may require a reappraisal of the Collateral at the Borrower’s expense.  If the loan to value ratio exceeds 65%, the Lenders shall be entitled to require additional security for the Credit Facility, reduce the Aggregate Loan Commitment, increase the interest rates applicable to the Loans, or pursue their remedies for an Event of Default under this Agreement.

 

1.4                                 Requests for Loans or Credit.

 

(a)                                  Notice of Loan/Conversion.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day during the Term to obtain new Loans by delivering to the Agent a written and completed “Notice of Loan/Conversion” in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.  The Notice of Loan/Conversion must be received by the Agent (i) no later than noon (Hawaii Standard Time (“HST”)) on the date two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed disbursement date in the case of a Base Rate Loan; (ii) no later than noon (HST) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed disbursement date in the case of a LIBOR Loan; or (iii) no later than 11 a. m. (HST) on the proposed disbursement date in the case of a Swingline Loan.

 

If the Borrower fails to timely notify the Agent of the Borrower’s selection of a new Interest Period prior to the expiration of any current Interest Period, such LIBOR Loan will automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan upon expiration of the current Interest Period.

 

Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Borrower, all proceeds of Loans shall be credited to the Borrower’s Deposit Account No. 61-058745, maintained with BOH.

 

4



 

(b)                                 Application for Letter of Credit.  The Borrower shall request a Letter of Credit by completing BOH’s standard Standby Letter of Credit Application and Agreement and satisfying the requirements thereunder.  BOH shall be the issuer of each Letter of Credit, but repayment of draws under the Letter of Credit shall be subject to the provisions of subsection 1.6(b)(2).  The current form of BOH’s standard Standby Letter of Credit Application and Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

 

1.5                                 Conversions of Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day (the “Conversion Date”) to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan by giving the Agent a Notice of Loan/Conversion at the Payment Office no later than noon (Hawaii Standard Time) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Conversion Date; provided that if an Event of Default is then in existence, the Borrower may not convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan.  Although no repayment shall actually be required upon any conversion, the proceeds thereof shall, for bookkeeping purposes, be deemed to be applied directly to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans being converted.  If the Borrower fails to timely notify Agent of the Borrower’s selection of a new Interest Period prior to the expiration of any current Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, such LIBOR Loan will automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan upon expiration of the current Interest Period.  A LIBOR Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000, with at most five (5) LIBOR Loans outstanding at any one time.

 

1.6                                 Interest; Repayment.

 

(a)                                  Interest Rate.

 

(1)                                  Revolving Loans.  The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of a Revolving Loan pursuant to the following interest rate options that the Borrower may select in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement:

 

(i)                                     The Base Rate in effect from time to time; or

 

(ii)                                  LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin.

 

The “Applicable Margin” shall be determined based on Borrower’s Funded Debt to Net Worth ratio as follows:

 

5



 

Funded Debt/Net Worth

 

Applicable Margin

 

 

 

less than 0.25

 

1.50 percentage points

 

 

 

equal to or greater than 0.25 but less than 0.50

 

1.75 percentage points

 

 

 

equal to or greater than 0.50 but less than 0.75

 

2.00 percentage points

 

 

 

equal to or greater than 0.75 but less than 1.00

 

2.25 percentage points

 

 

 

equal to or greater than 1.00

 

2.50 percentage points

 

Any change in the Applicable Margin shall take effect on the first day of the second fiscal quarter following the date as of which such Applicable Margin is determined.  For example, the Applicable Margin effective on July 1, shall be based on the Borrower’s Funded Debt to Net Worth ratio as of the fiscal quarter ending March 31.

 

(2)                                  Swingline Loans.  The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of a Swingline Loan at the Base Rate in effect from time to time.

 

(3)                                  Floating Interest Rates.  Any floating rate of interest will increase or decrease during the term of this Agreement if there is an increase or decrease in the rate to which the floating rate is tied.  If the rate to which the floating rate is tied is no longer available, the Agent will choose a new rate that is based on comparable information.

 

(4)                                  Calculation of Interest.  Interest hereunder shall be computed, but not compounded, daily on the basis of the rate of interest then in effect.  A change in the Base Rate shall take effect on the date upon which a change in the Base Rate is announced and made effective by Bank of Hawaii, with or without notice to the Borrower.  With respect to any LIBOR Loan, interest will be calculated at a fixed rate for the applicable interest Period.  Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed between payments and a 365-day year (or a 366-day year in leap years) in respect of any Base Rate Loan or a 360-day year in respect of any LIBOR Loan.

 

6



 

In no event shall the Borrower be obligated to pay any amount under the Loan Agreement that exceeds the maximum amount allowable by law.  If any sum is collected in excess of the applicable maximum amount allowable by law, the excess collected shall, at the Agent’s discretion, be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Loans or returned to the Borrower.

 

(b)                                 Repayment.

 

(1)                                  Payment Schedule.  Borrower agrees to repay the Loans as follows:

 

(i)            The Borrower agrees to make quarterly payments of all accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan on the last day of each of March, June, September and December during the term of the Loan Agreement.

 

(ii)           The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan on the earlier of i) the last day of the Interest Period or ii) the last day of each three-month interval occurring during the Interest Period.

 

(iii)          On the Expiry Date, the Borrower agrees to pay in full all principal and accrued interest then outstanding under all Loans.

 

(2)                                  Repayment of Letters of Credit.  Any draw under a Letter of Credit must be repaid in full by the Borrower on the date such draw or payment is made.  In the event the Borrower shall fail to make such repayment, it shall automatically be made by a Base Rate Loan hereunder and the Borrower shall be deemed to have made a request for such a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.4 above.

 

(3)                                  Currency, Place and Dates of Payments.  No payment or prepayment of principal under any of the Notes shall be made without a concurrent payment or prepayment of principal under the other Notes, and all principal amounts paid or prepaid on the Notes shall be shared among the Lenders pro rata, in accordance with their respective Individual Loan Commitment Percentages.  Payments to be made under the Loan Agreement to the Lenders shall be made in United States money in immediately available funds at the Agent’s address stated below, or at such other place as the Agent shall have designated by written notice to the Borrower.  Any payment due on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding

 

7



 

Business Day and the extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest.  Any payment received by the Agent after 11:00 a.m. shall not be credited until the next Business Day.

 

(4)                                  Evidence of Making and Repayment of Loans.  The Agent’s records evidencing the date of disbursement and principal amount of each Loan and the amounts of all repayments of principal and payments of interest on each Loan shall constitute prima facie evidence of the making and repayment of such Loans and of the payment of such interest.  However, the Agent’s making of erroneous notations in its records shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation to repay the outstanding balance of principal under a Loan, and accrued interest thereon, as provided in the Loan Agreement.

 

(5)                                  Prepayments.  The Borrower may prepay any Base Rate Loan at any time without prepayment premiums or fees, provided that any voluntary prepayment shall be in an amount not less than $250,000, and in integral multiples of $50,000.  The Borrower may also prepay any Swingline Loan at any time without prepayment premiums or fees, provided that any voluntary prepayment shall be in an amount not less than $100,000, and in integral multiples of $100,000.  Partial prepayments shall be applied against required payments of the most remote maturity, and will not extend the dates or change the amounts of subsequent installment payments.

 

(6)                                  Application of Payments.  During the existence of an Event of Default, payments under the Loan Agreement may be applied by the Lenders to the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Agreement in any manner the Majority of Interest of the Lenders deems appropriate.  The priority of application elected by the Lenders on any one occasion shall not determine any such election in the future.  Provided that an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, payments under the Loan Document shall be applied first to payment of sums, other than principal or interest, then payable by Borrower under the Loan Agreement, then to accrued interest then due and payable and then to principal.

 

1.7                                 Evidence of Indebtedness; Loan Documents.  The Loans and Credit Facility are or are to be evidenced and/or secured by the Loan Agreement, Amended and Restated Master Notes, each in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, payable to each Lender in the amount of such Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment (collectively the “Notes”), the Mortgage, the Additional Security Mortgage, the Environmental Indemnification Agreement and all such other documents as the Lenders and Agent may

 

8



 

require from time to time to effectuate the intent of the Loan Agreement, together with all renewals, extensions and modifications thereto (collectively the “Loan Documents”).

 

1.8                                 The Borrower’s Obligations.  The Borrower’s obligations to pay, observe and perform all indebtedness, liabilities, covenants and other obligations on the part of the Borrower to be paid, observed and performed under the Loan Agreement and the remainder of the Loan Documents are herein collectively called the “Obligations”.

 

1.9                                 Fees.

 

(a)                                  Commitment Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for pro rata distribution to each Lender, a commitment fee on the average daily unutilized portion of the Aggregate Loan Commitment, computed at the rate of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days (as the actual case may be) and payable quarterly in arrears, as of the last day of each March, June, September and December during the Term, and on the Expiry Date.

 

(b)                                 Commitment Increase Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, on demand, for distribution to the Lenders the following non-refundable fee:  $30,000, of which $10,800 shall be payable to BOH, $7,200 shall be payable to FHB, $4,800 shall be payable to CPB and $7,200 shall be payable to PCA.

 

(c)                                  Agent’s Fee.  For and in respect of the services of the Agent to be rendered with respect to the Credit Facility under the Loan Agreement and under the Agency Agreement, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent the fee established by separate agreement between Agent and Borrower.

 

(d)                                 Letter of Credit Fee.  The commitment fee for the issuance of a Letter of Credit (the “L/C Fee”) shall be an amount equal to the Applicable Margin at the time of the issuance of the Letter of Credit, multiplied by the aggregate amount available for drawing under that Letter of Credit.  The L/C Fee shall be paid quarterly in advance to the Agent, commencing on the issuance date, for pro rata distribution to the Lenders.  The L/C Fee shall be adjusted upon any renewal date to reflect the then Applicable Margin.  Other standard administrative fees for the issuance of the Letter of Credit shall be paid to BOH.

 

1.10                           Swingline Loans.

 

(a)                                  The Swingline Lender shall from time to time during the Term make Swingline Loans to the Borrower in such amounts as the Borrower may request, provided that after giving effect to each such Swingline Loan, (A) Swingline Outstandings shall not exceed $2,000,000, and (B) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans plus the Letter of Credit Liability shall not exceed

 

9



 

the Aggregate Loan Commitment.  The Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans, provided that the principal amount of each Swingline Loan is an integral multiple of $100,000, each principal repayment of a Swingline Loan shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000, and Swingline Outstandings shall not exceed $2,000,000 at any one time.

 

(b)                                 The Borrower shall request a Swingline Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.4(a) above.  Promptly after receipt of such request for a Swingline Loan, the Agent shall provide telephonic verification to the Swingline Lender that the requested Swingline Loan is in conformity with this Section 1.10.

 

(c)                                  A Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate in effect from time to time and may not be converted to a LIBOR Loan.  The interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender unless and until the Lenders fund their participations therein pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section 1.10.

 

(d)                                 Upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the Swingline Lender a participation therein in an amount equal to that Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment Percentage times the amount of the Swingline Loan.  Upon demand made by the Swingline Lender, each Lender shall, according to such percentage, promptly provide to the Swingline Lender its purchase price therefor in an amount equal to its participation therein.  The obligation of each Lender to so provide its purchase price to the Swingline Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a default or an Event of Default.  Each Lender that has provided to the Swingline Lender the purchase price due for its participation in the Swingline Loans shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such payment in the claim of the Swingline Lender against the Borrower for principal and interest and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation in any principal payment made by the Borrower with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by the Borrower (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender paid the Swingline Lender its purchase price) with respect to such claim.

 

(e)                                  In the event that the Swingline Outstandings are equal to or greater than $500,000 for five (5) consecutive Business Days, then on the next Business Day (unless the Borrower has made other arrangements acceptable to the Swingline Lender to reduce the Swingline Outstandings below $500,000), the Borrower shall request a Revolving Loan in an amount sufficient to reduce the Swingline Outstandings below $500,000, which request shall meet all requirements for a Revolving Loan under this Loan Agreement.  The Agent shall automatically provide the responsive funds from each Lender to the Swingline Lender, which the Swingline Lender shall then apply to the Swingline Outstandings.  In the event that the Borrower fails to request a Revolving Loan as specified in Section 1.4, the Agent shall, without being required to notify or obtain the consent of the Borrower, cause funding to be made by the Lenders under their Individual

 

10



 

Loan Commitments in amounts which are sufficient to reduce the Swingline Outstandings as required above, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan.  The proceeds of such funding shall be paid directly to the Swingline Lender for application to the Swingline Outstandings.

 

II.  FUNDING LOSS AND YIELD PROTECTION PROVISIONS

 

2.1                                 Prepayment; Repayment.  The Borrower may not prepay any LIBOR Loan in full or in part at any time.  The Borrower is responsible for managing the allocation of borrowings among the Types of Loans to avoid prepaying a LIBOR Loan to make a mandatory repayment of principal.  However, the Borrower may repay a LIBOR Loan, in whole or in part, on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, without prepayment premiums or fees, provided that the repayment shall be in an amount not less than $250,000, and an integral multiple of $50,000.  If repayment of a LIBOR Loan occurs on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower shall be liable for the amounts set forth in Section 2.6 below.

 

2.2                                 Change in Legality; Additional Costs to Lenders.  If after the date of the Loan Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall, with respect to the Lenders, or any of them, (a) change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lenders, or any of them, or the principal or interest on the Loans under the Loan Agreement, (b) impose, modify or hold applicable any fees, reserve requirements, special deposits or any costs to the Lenders, or any of them, in respect of the Loans, or (c) cause a reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable under the Loan Agreement; then, and in any such event, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, on demand, for distribution to such Lender(s), such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender(s) on an after-tax basis for such cost or reduction incurred; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated directly or indirectly to pay for federal or state income taxes measured or levied generally upon the net income of any Lender.  The Lenders may use any reasonable method in calculating their additional costs under this Section, which calculation shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

2.3                                 Capital Requirements.  If the Lenders, or any of them, shall determine that compliance with any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) would result in an increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender(s) or any corporation controlling such Lender(s), and that such increase is based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, and in any such event, the Borrower shall pay the Agent as an additional fee, from time to time on demand, for distribution to such Lender(s), such amount(s) as such Lender(s) shall determine to be the amount(s) that will compensate it or them or such other corporation for any reduction in the rate of return on

 

11



 

such capital.  A certificate as to the amount of compensation, submitted to the Borrower by the affected Lender(s), shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

 

2.4                                 Lack of Availability or Profitability of Eurodollar Deposits; Illegality.  In the event that any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties) that:

 

(a)                                  on any date for determining LIBOR for any Interest Period, by reason of any change after the date hereof affecting the interbank market or affecting the position of such Lender in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate by reference to LIBOR; or

 

(b)                                 at any time, by reason of (i) any change after the date of the Loan Agreement in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation or order (or any interpretation thereof by any government authority or otherwise (provided that, in the case of an interpretation not by a governmental authority, such interpretation shall be made in good faith and shall have a reasonable basis) and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation or order), to the extent not provided for in clause (c) below, or (ii) in the case of LIBOR Loans, other circumstances affecting such Lender or the interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market, LIBOR shall not represent the effective pricing to such Lender for funding or maintaining the affected LIBOR Loan; or

 

(c)                                  at any time, by reason of the requirements of Regulation D or other official reserve requirements, LIBOR shall not represent the effective pricing to such Lender for funding or maintaining the affected LIBOR Loan; or

 

(d)                                 at any time, the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful or compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or would cause severe hardship to such Lender as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affects the interbank market;

 

then, and in any such event, such Lender shall on such date of determination give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Agent and the Borrower of such determination.  Thereafter, in the case of clause (a), (b) or (c) above, (and without affecting Borrower’s obligations to pay interest on the Loans at the rates set forth in Section 1.6 hereof) Borrower shall pay to the Agent for payment to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as the Agent or such Lender in its discretion shall determine) as shall be required to cause such Lender to receive interest with respect to its affected LIBOR Loan at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the applicable rate per annum determined in accordance

(b)                                 None of the Lenders shall assign any of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, the foregoing provision to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) any of the Lenders may sell participations in Loans made or to be made by it, to any entity affiliated with such Lender, without Borrower’s consent, so long as such Lender remains primarily obligated to the Borrower under this Loan Agreement and so long as the Borrower shall not be obligated in any manner to deal directly with the affiliated purchaser of such participation, and (b) any Lender may negotiate, pledge, transfer or assign the Notes held by it (or the receivable evidenced thereby) to a Federal Reserve Bank or to any other agency or instrumentality of the United States of America to support borrowings of Federal funds by such Lender.

 

(c)                                  Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the Borrower consents to each Lender’s negotiation, offer, and sale to third parties (“Participants”) of the Credit Facility or participating interests in the Credit Facility, to any and all discussions and agreements heretofore or hereafter made between each Lender and any Participant or prospective Participant regarding the interest rate, fees, and other terms and provisions applicable to the Credit Facility, and to each Lender’s disclosure to any Participant or prospective Participant, from time to time, of such financial and other information pertaining to the Borrower and the Credit Facility as any Lender and such Participant or prospective Participant may deem appropriate (whether public or non-public, confidential or non-confidential, and including information relating to any insurance required to be carried by the Borrower and any financial or other information bearing on the Borrower’s creditworthiness and the value of any collateral).  The Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders’ disclosure of such information to any Participant or prospective Participant constitutes an ordinary and necessary part of the process of effectuating and servicing the Credit Facility.

 

8.13                           Severability.  If any provision of any of the Loan Documents shall be held invalid under any applicable law, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of

8.14                           Release of Non-Golf Areas.  In view of the fact that the portion of the property subject to the Mortgage and the Additional Security Mortgage, commonly known as the Bay Golf Course (or the Bay Course) and Village Golf Course (or the Village Course), has not been duly subdivided so as to constitute one or more duly subdivided lots, the land descriptions of the Bay Course and Village Course set forth or to be set forth in the Mortgage and Additional Security Mortgage (the “Mortgages”), include lands (“Excess Lands”) in excess of the lands commonly known to comprise the Bay Course and Village Course.  The Lenders agree that the Borrower shall have the right to subdivide the lands initially described in the Mortgages as comprising the Bay Course and Village Course, and to obtain releases of the Excess Lands from the liens of the Mortgages, upon the following terms and conditions:  (a) the lot or lots to be released from the Mortgages, comprising the Excess Lands, as well as the lot or lots which are to remain subject to the Mortgages following the release of the Excess Lands, shall have been designated as specific lots approved by all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the subdivision thereof; (b) the costs of subdivision and the costs of preparing the releases shall be borne by the Borrower; (c) the form and content of each release shall be acceptable to the Lenders; (d) in connection with any such release, appropriate provisions shall have been made for access to and from, and utility and similar easements for, any lot or lots not to be released from the Mortgages; and (e) the release of the lot or lots shall not impair the use or operation of the Collateral, or the value of the Collateral such that the loan to value ratio shall exceed 55%.  Within thirty days after the Lenders’ declaration of an Event of Default and of their intention to foreclose the Mortgages, the Borrower shall commence, and thereafter diligently pursue to completion, any subdivision necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 8.14, so as to enable the Lenders to foreclose the Mortgages against all the Collateral, while releasing to the Borrower the Excess Lands.  In the event the Borrower shall not commence such subdivision within said thirty-day period, or thereafter diligently pursue the subdivision to completion, the Lenders shall be entitled, and are hereby appointed as the duly-appointed attorneys-in-fact of the Borrower (with full power of substitution), to commence and/or complete said subdivision at the Borrower’s expense.  Said power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; provided, however, that the Lenders shall have no obligation to exercise their rights under said power of attorney.

 

8.15                           The Bank’s Right of Setoff; Security Interest in Accounts.  Each Lender may set off obligations owed by the Lender to the Borrower (such as balances in checking and savings accounts) against the Obligations, without first resorting to other Collateral, if an Event of Default shall have occurred or shall have been declared or if any such obligations owed by the Lender to the Borrower shall be seized or levied upon under any legal process or under any claim of legal right.  To secure the Obligations, the Borrower grants to the Agent or Lender a security interest in all checking, savings, and other deposit accounts now or hereafter maintained by the Borrower with the Agent or Lender.

 

32



 

8.16                           Time is of the Essence.  Time is of the essence under and in respect of this Agreement.

 

8.17                           Joint and Several Liability.  If more than one Borrower has signed this Agreement, all Borrowers shall be liable under this Agreement jointly, and each of them severally, for the payment, observance, and performance of all of the Obligations.

 

8.18                           Headings.  The headings of the various provisions of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any provision.

 

8.19                           Survival of Certain Payment Obligations.  The obligations of the Borrower to indemnify the Lenders against, and pay and reimburse to the Lenders, the costs and expenses referred to in Section 8.4 of the Loan Agreement (a) shall survive the repayment of the Loans and termination of the Loan Agreement to the extent such losses, costs and expenses are specifically billed to the Borrower within 60 days after full repayment of the Loans and termination of this Agreement, and (b) shall not survive the repayment of the Loans and termination of the Loan Agreement to the extent of any such costs or expenses which are not specifically billed to the Borrower within 60 days after full repayment of the Loans and termination of the Loan Agreement.

 

8.20                           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original instrument and all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

 

8.21                           Dispute Resolution.  Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall, at the request of either party, be decided by binding arbitration conducted in the State of Hawaii without a judge or jury, under the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association or Dispute Prevention and Resolution, Inc. and in accordance with Chapter 658A of the Hawaii Revised Statutes.  The arbitrator will apply any applicable statute of limitations and will determine any controversy concerning whether an issue is arbitrable.  Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  The prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.  This agreement to arbitrate shall not limit or restrict the right, if any, of any party to exercise before, during or following any arbitration proceeding, with respect to any claim or controversy, self-help remedies such as setoff, to foreclose a mortgage or lien or other security interest in any Collateral judicially or by power of sale, or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as injunctive relief from a court having jurisdiction.  Either party may seek those remedies without waiving its right to submit the controversy or claim in question to arbitration.
