Within fifteen (15) days of presentation, Lessee shall 14 execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor (i) any subordination or non- disturbance agreement or other instrument which Lessor may require to carry out the provision of this Article and (ii) any estoppel certificate requested by Lessor from time to time in the standard form of any such mortgagee or beneficiary, certifying in writing, if such be true, that Lessee shall be in occupancy, that this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect. (or if there have been modifications that the lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications) and the date to which the rent and other charges shall have been paid, and there shall be no rental offsets or claims. In the event Lessee fails to provide any instrument as provided in this Section, Lessee does hereby appoint Lessor as attorney-in-fact for Lessee, coupled with a financial interest, with full power to execute in the name of the Lessee any such instrument. Section 9.03. Consent of Ground Lease. Lessee shall have no obligations ------------- ----------------------- under this lease unless and until the Consent of Lessor to Sublease, Estoppel Certificate, and Attornment Agreements, attached hereto as Exhibit E (the "Estoppel Certificate"), has been fully executed by the named parties and an executed and acknowledged copy of the Estoppel Certificate is recorded in the appropriate local offices. Lessor shall use its best efforts to obtain the Estoppel Certificate and shall execute and deliver to Lessee the Estoppel Certificate as soon as possible after the execution of this Agreement. If the Estoppel Certificate is not recorded in the appropriate local office, in order to protect the interest created thereby, on or before 30 days after the -- execution of this Agreement, this lease shall terminate and Lessee shall have no obligations or liabilities to Lessor hereunder. Assuming that Lessor properly records the Estoppel Certificate, Lessee agrees that this lease and the interest created hereby shall be subordinate to that certain Ground Lease dated March 1, 1991 (the "Ground Lease"), by and between Herman Rapozo, as lessor (the "Ground Lessor"), and Halawa Sponsorship Corporation, as lessee. Section 9.04. Compliance with Ground Lease. Throughout the term of this ------------- ---------------------------- lease, Lessor covenants in favor of Lessee that it will perform all of its obligations under the Ground Lease and will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Lessee completely and absolutely in the event Lessee suffers any loss, injury, damage or expense as a result of Lessor's failure to perform its obligations under the Ground Lease. Lessor shall immediately notify Lessee of any default by Lessor under the Ground Lease or receipt of any notice from the Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease alleging the breach thereof. Section 9.05. Ground Lease Termination. It is contemplated that the ------------- ------------------------ Lessor will acquire the ground lessor's interest under the Ground Lease. This acquisition may occur before or after the Lessee occupies the demised premises. In the event the Lessor acquires such interest, Lessor agrees that the lessee's and the 15 lessor's interest under the Ground Lease shall be merged as a matter of law, and thereafter the Ground Lease shall not survive. Under those conditions, Lessee shall have no obligation to make any payments under the Ground Lease, and Lessee shall hold its interest under this lease free and clear of any rights, claims or interest under the Ground Lease. ARTICLE X Waste, Government Regulations ----------------------------- Section 10.01. Waste or Nuisance. Lessee shall not commit or suffer to -------------- ----------------- be committed any waste upon the demised premises or cause or allow any nuisance or other act or thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other occupant of the Land or to bring or to keep anything thereon, which in the judgment of Lessor, will or may detract in any way from the beauty, attractiveness, usefulness or value of the demised premises. Section 10.02. Governmental Regulations. Lessee, at Lessee's sole -------------- ------------------------ cost and expense, shall comply with all of the requirements of county, municipal, state and federal authorities now in force, or which may hereafter be in force, pertaining to the demised premises, and shall faithfully observe in the use or occupancy of the demised premises all municipal ordinances and state and federal laws or regulations applicable thereto, except as to those laws and regulations, the performance and observance of which are solely the duties of ------ Lessor under the terms of this lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no obligation on the part of Lessee to comply with any rules, regulations and law which may require structural alterations, structural repairs or structural additions, or which relate to the duties or obligations which are solely the duties and obligations ------ of Lessor under this lease, unless made necessary by act, work or omission by Lessee, in which event Lessee shall comply at its expense. ARTICLE XI Utilities --------- Section 11.01. Payment of Charges. Lessee shall pay all charges for -------------- ------------------ water, electricity, and other utilities furnished to the demised premises, the removal of sewage, refuse, and trash from the demised premises, whether the same are charged to Lessee or Lessor in the first instance. Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional rent, all of said charges billed directly to Lessor for the demised premises. Section 11.02. Non-liability for Interruption. Lessor shall under no -------------- ------------------------------ circumstances be liable to Lessee or any person taking by, through or under it for damages or otherwise for any 16 failure to furnish or interruption in service of any water, electricity or for stoppage of sewers from any cause whatsoever, unless due to willful misconduct or negligence of Lessor. ARTICLE XII Entry by Lessor --------------- Section 12.01. Access to Demised Premises. Lessee and any person taking -------------- -------------------------- by, through or under it shall permit Lessor and its agents to enter into and upon the demised premises during normal business hours and upon three (3) days advance notice for the purpose of inspecting the same or for the purpose of maintaining the Building in which said demised premises are situated, or for the purpose of making repairs, alterations or additions to any other portion of said Building, including the erection and maintenance of such scaffolding, canopies, fences and props as may be required, without any rebate of rent and without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the demised premises thereby occasioned; provided, that all such work shall be done in such manner as to cause as little interference as reasonably possible with the use and occupancy of the demised premises by Lessee; provided, further, if there is substantial interruption with Lessee's operation of business, rent and other charges will be abated as set forth in Section 15.04 hereof. Section 12.02. Utility Mains. Lessor shall have the right to locate -------------- ------------- within the demised premises utility mains and other facilities serving other premises, when such location is dictated by necessities of convenient engineering. Such mains and other facilities shall be located so as to cause a minimum of interference with Lessee, and be reasonably unobtrusive in appearance. These facilities shall include but not be necessarily limited to drains, water supply, sewage lines, chilled water cooling pipes, electric power circuits, telephone circuits, electric panelboards, sanitary vents, fresh air supply and exhaust ducts. ARTICLE XIII Assignment and Subletting ------------------------- Section 13.01. Consent Required. This lease and the leasehold -------------- ---------------- interest hereby demised is not assignable, subleasable in whole or in part by Lessee or any person taking by, through or under it whether by way of mortgage or otherwise, and Lessee shall not assign or sublet, or allow assignment or subletting of all or any part of the demised premises, or amendment thereof, without the prior written consent of Lessor of the assignee, sublessee, or mortgagee, and approval by Lessor of the form, terms, covenants, provisions and amendments of any such assignment, sublease or mortgage, which consent and approval shall not be unreasonably 17 withheld. Without limitation to other rights Lessor may have, Lessor may require, in Lessor's sole discretion, prior to consent and approval thereof, such modifications or additions to any assignment, sublease, mortgage or amendment thereof to ensure that such assignment, sublease, mortgage or amendment will be subject and subordinate to this lease and consistent with the terms, covenants, provisions and intent hereof, including without limitation the requirement that consent and approval by Lessor to any act or agreement by an assignee, sublessee, mortgagee or occupant shall be required to the same manner and extent as is required under the terms of this lease with respect to Lessee. The consent by Lessor to any assignment, subletting, or amendment thereof shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting or amendment and may be contingent upon payment to Lessor of a reasonable charge for the processing thereof. This prohibition against assigning or subletting shall be construed to include a prohibition against any assignment or subletting by operation of law. If this lease be assigned, or if the demised premises or any part thereof shall be subleased or rented to anyone other than Lessee, Lessor may collect rent from the assignee, sublessee or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy nor collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance by Lessor of any assignee, sublessee or occupant as lessee during the lease term or any extension thereof, or a release of Lessee, or any mesne assignors or sublessors, from the further performance by Lessee, and any such mesne assignor or mesne sublessors, of all the covenants binding upon Lessee in this lease contained during the lease term and any extension pursuant to Section 13.02 thereof. Lessee may assign this lease without Lessor's prior written consent to any corporation which owns one hundred percent (100%) of the voting stock of Lessee, or to any wholly-owned subsidiary corporation of Lessee, or to any corporation which succeeds to or takes over the business conducted in the state of Hawaii by Lessee; provided that Lessee shall have delivered a copy of such assignment to Lessor within thirty (30) days after such assignment. Section 13.02. Extensions. Any failure to completely surrender the -------------- ---------- demised premises to Lessor, as specified in Section 18.01 hereof, on or before the date of termination as specified in Section 1.03 hereof, shall be deemed to extend the term of this lease on a month-to-month basis at the same rentals, terms and conditions specified in this lease, and shall not be deemed to result in a new tenancy. ARTICLE XIV Taxes ----- Section 14.01. Personal Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay -------------- ----------------------- 18 (and upon demand by Lessor, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with satisfactory evidence of the payment thereof) all taxes and assessments of whatsoever kind or nature, and penalties and interest thereof, if any, levied against Lessee's property of whatsoever kind and to whomsoever belonging situate or installed in or upon the demised premises, whether or not affixed to the realty. If at any time any of said property, whether or not belonging to Lessee, is taxed or assessed as part of the real property within the Building of which the demised premises are a part, then such taxes or assessments shall, for the purpose of this lease, be deemed to be personal property and attributable to the demised premises. The additional rent provided for in this Section shall be paid by Lessee within ten (10) days after demand therefor by Lessor. A tax bill submitted by Lessor to Lessee shall be sufficient evidence of the amount of taxes assessed or levied against the parcel or real property to which such bill relates. Section 14.02. Excise Taxes. Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional -------------- ------------ rent, together with each payment of rent, an amount equal to the excise tax which Lessor must pay on the rent received from Lessee, whether such tax applies under the present form of state general excise (gross income) tax, or under some amended form thereof, or under any other form of governmental tax or excise on gross rents received. ARTICLE XV Destruction of or Damage to Building ------------------------------------ Section 15.01. Repairs by Lessor. If the demised premises or any -------------- ----------------- portion of the Building in which the demised premises are located are damaged or destroyed during the term hereof by any casualty insured under the commercial property insurance policies, or should the Building be damaged to an extent less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the then tax assessed value thereof by any other casualty, Lessor, subject to any delay or inability from causes beyond Lessor's control, shall repair and/or rebuild the same to substantially the condition in which the same were immediately prior to such damage or destruction; provided, however, Lessor shall not be obligated to so repair and/or rebuild in the event such damage occurs within the last two years of the term of this lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Building in which the demised premises are located are damaged or destroyed to the extend of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the then tax assessed value thereof, Lessor may at its option terminate this lease or repair or rebuild as hereinabove provided. Section 15.02. Non-insured Casualty. If the Building in which the -------------- -------------------- demised premises are located is damaged or destroyed by a casualty not insured under the commercial property policy in effect to the extent of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the then tax assessed value thereof, then Lessor may either terminate 19 this lease or elect to repair or restore said damage or destruction, in which latter event Lessor shall repair and/or rebuild the same as provided in Section 15.01 of Article XV, Lessor shall advise Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days after the casualty whether it intends to rebuild or repair. If Lessor elects not to repair or rebuild, this lease shall terminate without further notice, in which event all future obligations of either party shall cease, effective as of the date Lessee ceases to do business in the demised premises. If such damage or destruction occurs and this lease is not so terminated by Lessor, this lease shall remain in full force and effect and the parties hereto waive the provisions of any law to the contrary. Lessor's obligation to repair or rebuild under this paragraph shall in no event exceed the scope of the work to be done by Lessor in the original construction of the demised premises and the Building in which the demised premises are located. Section 15.03. Repairs by Lessee. In the event of any damage or -------------- ----------------- destruction affecting the demised premises, unless this lease is terminated as in Section 15.01 or 15.02 above provided, Lessee shall replace or fully repair, promptly upon request by Lessor, all plate glass, exterior signs, trade fixtures, equipment, display cases, and all installations originally installed by Lessee. Lessee shall have no interest in the proceeds of any commercial property insurance carried by Lessor, except to the extent such insurance covers the personal property, fixtures and installation made by Lessee to the demised premises. Section 15.04. Abatement of Basic Rent. The basic rent shall be abated -------------- ----------------------- proportionately during any period in which, by reason of any damage or destruction, there is a substantial interference with the operation of the business of Lessee in the demised premises. The degree of abatement shall be based upon the extent to which Lessee's use of the demised premises has been restricted or lost, and such abatement shall continue for the period commencing with such destruction or damage and ending with the substantial completion of such work or repair and/or reconstruction as Lessor or Lessee is obligated to perform and evidence of Lessee's right to re-enter and use the demised premises. ARTICLE XVI Eminent Domain -------------- Section 16.01. Automatic Termination of Lease. If the whole of the -------------- ------------------------------ demised premises is taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain, then the term of this lease shall cease as of the day possession is taken by such public authority and all rentals shall be payable by Lessee up to that date. If only a part of the demised premises is taken under eminent domain, the lease shall terminate as to the portion taken, 20 and unless this lease is terminated as hereinafter provided, it shall continue in full force and effect as to the remainder of said premises and Lessor, at its own cost and expense, shall make all necessary structural repairs and alterations to the demised premises required by such taking. Section 16.02. Option to Terminate. If, after a taking under power of -------------- ------------------- eminent domain, the remainder of the demised premises cannot be made tenantable for the purposes for which Lessee has been using the premises, Lessee shall have the option, to be exercised within thirty (30) days after the filing of such eminent domain action, of terminating this lease effective as of the date the condemning authority takes possession; provided, however, that if more than fifty percent (50%) of the floor area of the demised premises is taken under power of eminent domain, either party, by written notice to the other delivered on or before the date of surrendering possession to the public authority, may terminate this lease, effective as of such surrender of possession. All compensation and damages of any type whatsoever awarded for any taking, whole or partial, shall belong to and be the property of Lessor except that Lessee shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Lessor (but only to the extent that such compensation is not actually paid by the condemning authority to Lessor), such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Lessee in Lessee's own right on account of any cost or loss to which Lessee might be put in removing Lessee's merchandise, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Section 16.03. Condemnation of Less Than a Fee. In the event of a -------------- ------------------------------- condemnation of all or a portion of the demised premises without the condemnation of the fee simple title thereto, this lease shall not terminate and such condemnation shall not excuse Lessee from full performance of all of its covenants hereunder, but Lessee in such event shall be entitled to present or pursue against the condemning authority its claim for and to receive all compensation or damages sustained by it by reason of such condemnation, and Lessor's right to recover compensation or damages shall be limited to compensation for and damages, if any, during such time as Lessee is out of possession of the demised premises by reason of such condemnation, this lease shall not be subject to forfeiture for failure to observe and perform those covenants not calling for the payment of money. In the event the condemning authority fails to keep the demised premises in the state of repair required hereunder, or to perform any other covenant not calling for the payment of money, Lessee shall have ninety (90) days after the restoration of possession to it within which to carry out its obligations under such covenant or covenants. During such time as Lessee shall be out of possession of the demised premises by reason of such leasehold condemnation, Lessee shall continue to be obligated to pay all rentals due hereunder. At any time after such condemnation proceedings have commenced, Lessor shall have the option to require Lessee to assign to Lessor all compensation and 21 damages payable by the condemnor to Lessee, to be held by Lessor without liability for interest thereon as security for the full performance of Lessee's covenants hereunder, such compensation and damages received pursuant to said assignment to be applied first to the payment of rents, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and all other sums from time to time payable by Lessee pursuant to the terms of this lease as such sums fall due, and the remainder, if any, to be payable to Lessee, it being understood and agreed that such assignment shall not relieve Lessee of any of its obligations under this indenture with respect to such rents, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other sums except as the same are actually received by Lessor. ARTICLE XVII Default of Lessee ----------------- Section 17.01. Right to Reenter. In the event of any failure of -------------- ---------------- Lessee to pay any rental due hereunder within ten (10) days after written notice from Lessor that such payment is due but has not been made; or any failure to perform any other of the terms, conditions or covenants of this lease to be observed or performed by Lessee for more than thirty (30) days after written notice of such default has been given to Lessee, assuming that such performance could be accomplished within such 30-day period, or if not curable within thirty (30) days, for more than thirty (30) days after written notice of such default has been given to Lessee if Lessee has not commenced such cure within the thirty (30) days after written notice of default and diligently sought to prosecute the cure thereafter; or if Lessee or an agent of Lessee falsifies any report required to be furnished to Lessor pursuant to the terms of this lease, or if Lessee or any quarantor of this lease becomes bankrupt or insolvent or files any debtor proceedings or takes or has taken against Lessee or any guarantor of this lease, in any court pursuant to any statute either of the United States or of any state, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a portion of Lessee's or any such guarantor's property; or if Lessee or any such guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions for or enters into an arrangement; or if Lessee abandons the demised premises; or suffers this lease to be taken under any writ of execution; then Lessor besides other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the demised premises and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of Lessee, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. Section 17.02. Right to Relet. In the event Lessor elects ------------- --------------- to reenter, as provided in Section 17.01, or takes possession 22 pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may either terminate this lease or from time to time without terminating this lease, make such reasonable alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the demised premises, and may relet the demised premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Upon each such reletting all rentals received by Lessor for such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and reasonable attorneys' fees and of costs of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder and the residue, if any, shall be held by Lessor and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall Lessee be entitled to any portion of said rentals. If such rentals received from such reletting during any month be less than that to be paid during that month by Lessee hereunder, Lessee shall pay any such deficiency by Lessor. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such reentry or taking possession of the demised premises by Lessor shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Lessee or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this lease for such previous breach. Should Lessor at any time terminate this lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Lessee all damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the demised premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges equivalent to rent reserved in this lease for the remainder of the stated term over the then reasonable rental value of the demised premises for the remainder of the stated term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Lessee to Lessor. In determining the rent which would be payable by Lessee hereunder, subsequent to default, the annual rent for each year of the unexpired term shall be equal to the average annual basic and additional rents paid by Lessee from the commencement of the term to the time of default, or during the preceding three full calendar years, whichever period is shorter. Section 17.03. Separate Suits. Lessor shall have the privilege of -------------- -------------- splitting its cause of action for rent to permit institution of a separate suit or suits or proceedings for the basic rent and a separate suit or suits or proceedings for any other payment required hereunder, and neither the institution of such suit or proceeding, nor the entering of judgement therein, shall bar Lessor from bringing a subsequent suit or proceeding for 23 basic rental or for any other payments hereunder. Section 17.04. No Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Lessee or -------------- -------------------------- receipt by Lessor of lesser amount than the rents herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Lessor's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy at law or in this lease provided. Section 17.05. Interest on Past Due Amounts. Any amounts owing by -------------- ---------------------------- Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this lease shall carry interest from the date the same became due until paid at the lesser of (i) the legal maximum rate of interest then prevailing in the State of Hawaii; or (ii) three percent (3%) above the rate of interest then being charged for prime, short-term commercial loans on Kauai by First Hawaiian Bank and said interest shall be considered as a part of the rental payable hereunder. ARTICLE XVIII Surrender of Lease ------------------ Section 18.01. Surrender Upon Termination. At the expiration of the -------------- -------------------------- tenancy hereby created or the date of termination of this lease, Lessee shall surrender the demised premises in the same condition of cleanliness, repair and sightliness as the demised premises were in upon the commencement of business under the lease, reasonable wear and tear and damage by unavoidable casualty excepted. Lessee shall surrender all keys for the demised premises to Lessor at the place then fixed for the payment of rent and shall inform Lessor of all combinations on locks, safes and vaults, if any, in the demised premises. On the date of expiration or termination, all alterations, additions, improvements, all hard surface bonded or adhesively affixed flooring, and all fixtures on the demised premises other than Lessee's trade fixtures, operating equipment and carpeting, shall become the property of Lessor and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the demised premises as a part thereof, without disturbance, molestation or injury, and without credit to Lessee, its sublessees, concessionaires or licensees; provided, however, that if Lessor so requests in writing within thirty (30) days after such expiration or termination, Lessee at its sole expense shall remove any improvements, alterations, additions, fixtures or flooring installed or made by or for Lessee and shall restore the demised premises to the condition prevailing prior to such installation. On or before the last day of the term or the sooner termination thereof, Lessee, if not then in default, may remove all trade fixtures, operating equipment and other personal property of Lessee from the demised premises and shall repair any damage occasioned by 24 any such removal. Property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned by Lessee. If the demised premises is not surrendered by Lessee at such time, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against loss or liability resulting from delay by Lessee in so surrendering the demised premises; including without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding Lessee founded on such delay. Lessee's obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of the term of this lease. Section 18.02. Liquidated Damages. If, at the expiration or other -------------- ------------------ termination of this lease, Lessee fails to yield up possession of the demised premises to Lessor, Lessor shall have the option to require Lessee to pay and Lessee shall pay as liquidated damages for each day possession of the demised premises is withheld an amount equal to double the amount of the daily basic rent computed on the thirty-day month basis. Section 18.03. Extensions. Any failure to completely surrender the -------------- ---------- demised premises to Lessor, as specified in Section 18.01 hereof, on or before expiration of the then current term of this lease (including the original term or any renewal thereof), shall be deemed to extend the term of this lease on a month-to-month basis at the same rentals, terms and conditions specified in this lease, and shall not be deemed to result in a new tenancy. ARTICLE XIX Litigation ---------- Section 19.01. Lessee's Liability. In the event Lessor is, without -------------- ------------------ fault on its part, made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Lessee arising out of Lessee's occupancy of the demised premises or any act of Lessee or any person taking by, through or under it concerning the demised premises or this lease, or in the event suit is brought for recovery of possession of the demised premises, for the recovery of rent or any other amount due under the provisions of this lease, or for enforcement of any covenant or condition of this lease, or because of the breach of any covenant herein contained, on the part of Lessee, Lessee shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Lessor, and shall pay to Lessor all expenses incurred in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees. Section 19.02. Performance by Lessor. If Lessee fails to perform any -------------- --------------------- of the covenants to be performed by Lessee pursuant to the terms of this lease, or if Lessee fails to make any payment which Lessee agrees to make, then Lessor may, at Lessor's option, after ten (10) days' written notice to Lessee, perform any such affirmative covenants, or make any such payment, as Lessee's agent and Lessee shall pay the same together with a ten percent (10%) surcharge to cover Lessor's overhead as additional rent. The option given in this Article is for the sole protection of Lessor, 25 and its existence shall not release Lessee from the obligation to perform any of the covenants herein provided to be performed by Lessee, or deprive Lessor of any legal rights which it may have by reason of any such failure of the Lessee to perform or any other default by Lessee. Section 19.03. Lessor's Liability. In the event Lessee is, without -------------- ------------------ fault on its part, as determined by court judgment, arbitration or mutual agreement, made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Lessee arising out of Lessor's leasing of the demised premises or any act of Lessor or any person taking by, through or under it concerning the demised premises of this lease, or for enforcement of any covenant or condition of this lease, or because of the breach of any covenant herein contained, by Lessor, Lessor shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Lessee, and shall pay to Lessee all expenses incurred in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

ARTICLE XXI Quiet Possession ---------------- 26 Section 21.01. Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. Upon payment by Lessee of -------------- --------------------------- the rental as aforesaid and upon the observance and performance of the covenants by Lessee herein contained, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the demised premises for the term hereby demised without hindrance or interruption by Lessor or any other person or persons lawfully or equitably claiming by, through or under Lessor.

The provisions of this Section shall not operate to excuse Lessee from prompt payment of basic rent, additional rent or any other payments required by the terms of this lease, unless the act delaying or hindering performance materially interferes with Lessee's occupancy and use of the demised premises, in which event all rent due hereunder shall abate during the period of such material interference. Section 22.03. Security Deposit. Lessee has contemporaneously with -------------- ----------------- the execution of this lease deposited with an escrow company mutually agreed upon by Lessee and Lessor to hold in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Section, the sum of FORTY-EIGHT THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($48,400.00), hereafter referred to as "security deposit."

The security deposit will stay in escrow until Lessor delivers to Lessee evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, of the availability of financing for construction of the Building to be constructed on the demised premises. Once the financing is obtained, the entire amount of the funds held in escrow shall be released to Lessor. At such time TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($24,200.00) will be applied toward the second month's basic rent, and the balance shall be held by Lessor as a security deposit. The security deposit shall be held by Lessor during the term hereof without liability for interest, as security 27 for the performance by Lessee of all the terms, covenants conditions of this lease to be kept and performed by Lessee. Lessor shall not be required to keep the security deposit as a separate fund but may commingle it with Lessor's own funds. If, at any time during the term of this lease, any of the rent herein reserved or other payment hereunder required of Lessee is overdue and unpaid, Lessor may, at the option of Lessor (but Lessor shall not be required to) appropriate and apply any portion of said security deposit to the payment of any such overdue rent or other payments. Should the security deposit, or any portion thereof, be appropriated and applied by Lessor for the payment of overdue rent or other sums due and payable to Lessor by Lessee hereunder prior to termination of this lease, then upon written demand by Lessor, Lessee shall remit to Lessor a sum in cash sufficient to restore said security deposit to TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($24,200.00). Lessee's failure to do so within five (5) days after receipt of such demand shall constitute a breach of this lease. In the event of failure or failures by Lessee to keep and perform all the other terms, covenants and conditions of this lease to be kept and performed by Lessee, then, at the option of Lessor and after terminating this lease, Lessor may appropriate and apply said security deposit, or so much thereof as Lessor in its sole discretion may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate Lessor for all loss, cost or damage, including attorneys' fees, sustained or suffered by Lessor due to covenants and conditions, the security deposit shall be returned in full to Lessee at the end of the last extension of term of this lease without interest. Section 22.04. Transfer of Security Deposit. Lessor may transfer ------------- ---------------------------- and/or deliver the security deposit, as such, to any assignee or successor of Lessor's interest in this lease, and thereupon Lessor shall be discharged from any further liability with respect thereto. Section 22.05. Lessee Defined, use of Pronoun. The word "Lessee" shall -------------- ------------------------------ be deemed and taken to mean each and every person or party mentioned as a Lessee herein, be the same one or more. The use of the neuter singular pronoun to refer to Lessor or Lessee shall be deemed a proper reference even though Lessor or Lessee may be an individual, a partnership, a corporation, or a group of two or more individuals or corporations. The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this lease apply in the plural sense where there is more than one Lessor or Lessee and to either corporations, associations, partnerships, or individuals, males or females, shall in all instances be assumed as though in each case fully expressed. Section 22.06. Partial Invalidity. If any term, covenant or condition -------------- ------------------ of this lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is to any extent invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this lease, or the application of such term, 28 covenant or condition to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term, covenant or condition of this lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. Section 22.07. Captions and Section Numbers. The captions, section -------------- ---------------------------- numbers, and article numbers appearing in this lease are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or intent of such sections or articles of this lease nor in any way affect this lease. Section 22.08. Entire Agreement. This lease contains the entire -------------- ---------------- agreement between the parties and any executory agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify, discharge or effect an abandonment of it in whole or in part unless such executory agreement is in writing and is signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or abandonment is sought. The laws of the State of Hawaii shall govern the validity, performance and enforcement of this lease. Section 22.09. No Option. The submission of this lease for examination -------------- --------- does not constitute a reservation of or option for the demised premises and this lease becomes effective as a lease only upon execution and delivery thereof by Lessor and Lessee. Section 22.10. Non-Waiver. No covenant, term or condition of this lease -------------- ---------- shall be deemed to have been waived by Lessor unless such waiver be in writing by Lessor. The waiver by Lessor of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this lease other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. Section 22.11. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this lease -------------- ------------------- and all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions hereof. Section 22.12. Recordation. Lessee shall not record this lease without -------------- ----------- the written consent of Lessor, however, upon the request of either party hereto the other party shall join in execution of a memorandum "short form" of this lease for the purpose of recordation.

ASSIGNMENT. Lessee may assign lease with full rights within sixty ---------- (60) days of execution to any such entity as Lessee may designate. Lessee will not without the prior written consent of Lessor assign or mortgage this Lease, it being understood that Lessor will not, except as stated above, consent to any assignment of this Lease except by way of mortgage, nor to any such assignment by way of mortgage if the amount thereby secured exceeds the fair market value of this Lease and all buildings and other improvements built on the land hereby demised or to be built and paid for with the proceeds of such mortgage; provided, however, that Lessor shall not require the payment of any moneys or other consideration for the giving of such consent other than a reasonable fee as hereinbefore provided in Paragraph 16. The term "assignment" herein shall include one or more sales or transfers by operation of law or otherwise by which (A) an aggregate of more than FIFTY PERCENT (50%) of (i) the total capital stock of a corporate lessee, (ii) the total partnership interests of a general partnership lessee, or (iii) the total beneficial interests of a trust lessee, or (B) if the lessee is a limited partnership, FIFTY PERCENT (50%) of the interest in the general partner thereof or, if there is more than one general partner, FIFTY PERCENT (50%) of the interests in all such general partners in the aggregate, shall become vested in one or more individuals, firms, or corporations who or which are not stockholders, partners or beneficiaries thereof, either legally or equitably, as of the date of this Lease or of Lessee's subsequent acquisition of this Lease by assignment, it being understood that ownership of such capital stock, partnership interests and beneficial interests shall be determined in accordance with the principles enunciated in Section 544 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954; provided, however, that the foregoing definition shall not apply with respect to a corporate lessee whose capital stock is listed on a recognized stock exchange. 20. SURRENDER. At the end of said term or other sooner determination --------- of this Lease, Lessee will peaceably deliver up to Lessor possession of the land hereby demised, together with all buildings and other improvements upon or belonging to the same, by whomsoever made, in good and safe repair, order and condition except as otherwise expressly provided in Paragraph 8 hereof; provided, further, that if not then in default hereunder, Lessee may thereupon remove any trade fixtures installed on said premises during said term but shall repair promptly all damage caused by such removal. -7- The foregoing covenant of Lessee shall survive the expiration of said term. 21. HOLDOVER. If Lessee remains in possession of said premises after the -------- expiration of said term, Lessee shall be deemed to occupy said premises only as a tenant from month-to-month at the rents and on all the covenants, conditions and provisions herein contained which are not inconsistent with a month-to-month tenancy. AND IT IS HEREBY MUTUALLY AGREED by and between the parties hereto as follows: A. ASSIGNMENT OF LESSOR'S INTEREST IN LEASES. By this Lease, Lessor ----------------------------------------- hereby assigns to Lessee any and all rents to be received from any parties currently leasing any portion of the demised premises from the date of execution of this Lease for the duration of this Lease. Should there be an existing lease for any portion of the demised premises, Lessor shall, concurrently with the execution of this Lease, provide a copy to Lessee and shall cause to be executed an assignment of Lessor's interest in the lease. If the lessee has a month-to-month tenancy, Lessor shall, concurrently with the execution of this Lease, provide written verification of said tenancy to Lessee. Lessor warrants that there currently exists no lease for the premises with a term or obligation which shall survive the commencement of this lease. Lessor further warrants that there are no existing defaults under any of the leases covering any portion of the demised premises by any party. B. APPRAISAL. Whenever this Lease provides that the fair market --------- value of the demised land shall be determined by appraisal for computation of any rent hereunder, such fair market value or rate of return shall be determined by three (3) qualified real estate appraisers, who are members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or the Society of Real Estate Appraisers, or successor entities, one to be appointed by each of the parties hereto, and Lessor and Lessee each shall promptly name one such appraiser and give written notice thereof to the other party, and in case either party shall fail so to do within ten (10) days after such notice of the appointment of the first appraiser, the party naming the first appraiser may apply to any person then sitting as judge of the circuit court of the judicial circuit in which said premises are located for appointment of a second appraiser, and the two appraisers thus appointed in either manner shall appoint a third appraiser, and in case of their failure to do so within ten (10) days after appointment of the second appraiser, either party may have the third appraiser appointed by such judge, and the three appraisers so appointed shall proceed to determine the matter in question, and the decision of said appraisers or a majority of them shall be final, inclusive and binding on both parties hereto, unless the same shall be vacated, modified or corrected as provided in Chapter 658, Hawaii Revised Statutes, as the same may from time to time, be amended. Lessor and Lessee each shall pay their own appraiser and one-half (1/2) of the third appraiser's fee and all proper costs and expenses of such appraisal other than their own witness and attorneys' fees. -8- C. CONDEMNATION. In case at any time or times during said term said ------------ premises shall be required, taken or condemned by any authority having the power of eminent domain, then and in every such case the estate and interest of Lessee in the premises so required, taken or condemned shall at once cease and determine, and Lessee shall not by reason thereof be entitled to any claim against Lessor for compensation or indemnity for leasehold interest, and all compensation and damages payable for or on account of any land or improvements thereon except improvements erected on the demised land during said term shall be payable to and be the sole property of Lessor, and all compensation and damages payable for or on account of any improvements erected on the demised land during said term shall be divided between Lessor and Lessee as of the date when Lessee loses the right of possession thereof according to the ratios that the then expired and unexpired portions respectively of said term after the date of original completion of such improvements bear to the sum of said portions. Provided, that in case only part of said premises shall be so required, taken or condemned, the rent payable for the remaining period of said term for which it is fixed shall be reduced in the ratio that the land area of such part bears to the total area of demised land immediately prior to such event, and all compensation and damages payable for or on account of any improvements erected on the demised land during said term shall be used promptly by Lessee to the extent necessary for restoring or replacing such improvements on the remaining land according to plans and specifications therefor first approved in writing by Lessor; provided, further, that if more than half of the demised land shall be so required, taken or condemned thereby rendering the remaining premises unsuitable for the purposes of Lessee, Lessee may at its option surrender to Lessor this Lease and all interest of Lessee and any mortgagee in the compensation and damages payable on account of any improvements on the remaining premises so surrendered and thereby be relieved of any further obligations under this Lease. D. CONSENT TO MORTGAGE. Lessee may from time to time without further ------------------- consent of Lessor assign this Lease by way of mortgage to any bank, insurance company, savings and loan, credit union, finance company, or other established lending institution as mortgagee, provided that the amount secured by all such assignments by way of mortgage shall not exceed the fair market value of this Lease and all buildings and other improvements built on the land hereby demised or to be built and paid for with the proceeds of such mortgage (said determination of fair market value to be made, with respect to each lease-hold mortgage, as of the date of recording such mortgage), and provided that Lessee shall upon execution of such mortgage promptly deliver a true copy thereof to Lessor. The mortgagee or its assigns may enforce such mortgage and acquire title to the leasehold estate in any lawful way, and pending foreclosure of such mortgage (or pending sale of this Lease in lieu of foreclosure of such mortgage) may take possession of and rent said premises, and upon foreclosure thereof (or upon such conveyance in lieu of foreclosure thereof) may without further consent of Lessor sell and assign the leasehold estate by assignment in which the assignee shall expressly assume and agree to observe and perform all the covenants of Lessee herein contained and such assignee may make a purchase money mortgage of this Lease to the assignor, provided that upon execution of any such assignment or mortgage a true copy thereof shall be delivered promptly to Lessor and that no other or further assignment of this Lease for which any provision hereof requires the written consent of Lessor shall be made without such consent. Upon the delivery and -9- recordation of the conveyance through foreclosure (or delivery and recordation of the conveyance in lieu of foreclosure) of the leasehold estate and/or the mortgagee's sale or assignment thereof, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as a direct lease between Lessor and the mortgagee or such assignee. The mortgagee or its assigns of such mortgage shall be liable to perform the obligations herein imposed on Lessee only during the period such person has possession or ownership of the leasehold estate. Nothing contained in such mortgage shall release or be deemed to relieve Lessee from the full and faithful observance and performance of its covenants herein contained or from any liability for the nonobservance or nonperformance thereof, nor be deemed to constitute a waiver of any rights of Lessor hereunder, and the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall control in case of any conflict with the provisions of such mortgage, except as otherwise agreed by Lessor. E. PROTECTION OF MORTGAGE. During the continuance in effect of any ---------------------- authorized mortgage of this Lease, Lessor will not terminate this Lease because of any default on the part of Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants or conditions herein contained if the mortgagee or its assigns, within one hundred twenty (120) days after Lessor has mailed to the mortgagee or its assigns at the last known address thereof a written notice of intention to terminate this Lease for such cause, shall cure such default, if the same can be cured by the payment of money, or, if such is not the case, shall undertake in writing to perform and shall thereafter pay all rent and other charges as and when due under this Lease and perform all the covenants of this Lease capable of performance by the mortgagee or its assigns until such time as this Lease shall be sold upon foreclosure of such mortgage commenced promptly and completed with due diligence, and any default (i) consisting of Lessee's failure promptly to discharge any lien, charge or encumbrance against said premises junior in priority to such mortgage or (ii) which is otherwise not susceptible to cure by mortgagee except upon obtaining possession of the premises or foreclosure, shall be deemed to be duly cured if such mortgage shall be foreclosed by appropriate action instituted within said l20-day period and thereafter prosecuted in diligent and timely manner. Lessor agrees that simultaneously with mailing or delivering any notice of default or breach under or with respect to this Lease to Lessee, that it will mail or deliver a copy thereof to the mortgagee(s) of the Lease at their last known addresses. In the event that, notwithstanding the mortgagee's compliance with the above provisions of this Paragraph D, this Lease shall terminate prior to the natural expiration of the term thereof (i) as a result of an actual or deemed rejection of the Lease under any provision of the Bankruptcy Act (Title 11, United States Code) or any successor law having similar effect, or (ii) by operation of law or otherwise, then, and in any such event, Lessor shall give written notice to the mortgagee (or first mortgagee if more than one) of such termination, together with a statement of any and all sums which would at that time be due under this Lease. The mortgagee (or the first mortgagee if more than one) shall thereupon have the option to obtain a new Lease in accordance with and upon the following terms and conditions: (a) Upon the written request of the mortgagee within sixty (60) days after service of the aforementioned notice of termination, Lessor shall enter into a new lease of the premises with such mortgagee, or its designee, as provided in (b) immediately below; -10- provided, however, that if Lessor receives no such written request within said sixty (60) day period then all of mortgagee's rights to a new Lease hereunder shall automatically terminate. (b) Such new Lease shall be effective as of the date of termination of this Lease and shall be for the remainder of the term of this Lease at the same rent and other charges herein provided and otherwise upon the same agreements, terms, covenants and conditions contained herein, with the same relative priority in time and right as this Lease and having the benefit of and vesting in the mortgagee (or first mortgagee if more than one) all of the same rights, title, interest, powers and privileges of the Lessee hereunder but provided that the liability of he mortgagee under the Lease will be limited to its interest in the premises and to the period of time it is lessee under such new lease. The new lease shall, subject to the same agreements, terms, covenants and conditions contained herein, also demise to the mortgagee or its designee all buildings, improvements and appurtenances situated on the demised premises, together with all equipment, fixtures and machinery therein. Concurrently with execution of the new lease, Lessor shall assign its interest in and to any then existing sublease under which the tenant has attorned to and been recognized by Lessor. During the period between termination of this Lease and execution of the new lease, Lessor shall not amend or modify the subleases or take any action which will adversely affect the premises or give rise to any liens against the premises. As a condition to and concurrently with delivery of such new Lease, the Lessee named therein shall pay any and all sums which would at the time of the execution thereof be due under this Lease but for the termination as aforesaid, and shall fully otherwise remedy any existing defaults under this Lease susceptible of cure by the mortgagee, or such designee, and shall pay all expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees, court costs and disbursements incurred by Lessor in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of such new Lease. Any default which cannot be cured by such Lessee until it obtains possession shall be cured by the lessee within a reasonable time after it obtains possession. Ownership by or for the same person of both the fee and leasehold estates in said premises shall not effect the merger thereof, without the prior written consent of any mortgagee to such merger. The parties will cooperate in including in this Lease, by suitable amendment, from time to time any provision which may be reasonably necessary -11- and customary to secure institutional financing; provided, however, that such amendments shall not in any way affect the term hereby demised or the rent payable hereunder, nor affect adversely any rights of Lessor in the premises or under this Lease, nor increase the administrative burden of Lessor hereunder. Lessor in all instances shall be the sole judge (in a reasonable manner) of the adverse effects of such amendments. F. DEFAULT AND DEFEASANCE. This demise is upon the express condition ---------------------- that if Lessee shall fail to pay said rent or any part thereof within thirty (30) days after the same becomes due, whether the same shall or shall not have been legally demanded, or shall fail to observe and perform faithfully any of its covenants or agreements herein contained performable by the payment of money (other than the payment of rent) and such default shall continue for sixty (60) days after a statement therefor given by the obligee to Lessee, or shall fail to observe or perform faithfully any of its other covenants or agreements herein contained and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof given by Lessor to Lessee, or shall abandon said premises, or if this Lease or any estate or interest of Lessee hereunder shall be sold under any attachment or execution Lessor may at once re-enter said premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and, upon or without such entry, at its option terminate this Lease, without service of notice or legal process and without prejudice to any other remedy or right of action for arrears of rent or for any preceding or other breach of contract. If this Lease is recorded in the Bureau of Conveyances of the State of Hawaii or filed in the Office of the Assistant Registrar of the Land Court of the State of Hawaii, such termination may but need not necessarily be made effective by recording or filing in such place an affidavit thereof by Lessor or a judgment thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction. If Lessee shall fail to observe or perform any of its covenants herein contained, Lessor at any time thereafter and without notice may, but shall not be obligated to, observe or perform such covenant for the account and at the expense of Lessee, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in observing and performing such covenant shall constitute additional rent and shall bear interest as provided in Paragraph 3 hereof. G. APPROVAL OR CONSENT. No approval or consent of Lessor required by ------------------- any provision hereof shall be unreasonably withheld. Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in expediting all requests for approval or consent and if such approval or consent is refused, Lessor shall so state in writing and give its reasons therefor. H. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL. --------------------- (i) Lessee shall have ninety days from the date of execution of this lease to determine to its satisfaction that it shall be able to obtain all necessary governmental approvals which may include, but need not be limited to, federal floodway, state land use, and local zoning ordinances. Should any agency deny any use of the property permitted under current zoning, Lessee shall have the option to declare this lease null and void. Should Lessee elect to appeal any governmental ruling, Lessee shall have an additional ninety days from the date of written notice to Lessor to pursue said appeal. If, at the end of said appeal period, Lessee shall determine that it shall be unable to obtain governmental approvals for any permitted use under current zoning, then Lessee may, at its option, declare this lease null -12- and void and Lessor shall return to Lessee all rents paid. (ii) Lessee shall pay all scheduled rents to the client trust account of Lessor's attorney for said period of ninety days and for said subsequent period of ninety days, or for any portion thereof until such time as Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing that said contingency is removed or that Lessee elects to nullify and void this lease. Should Lessee fail to make payment of rents as scheduled herein, all remedies of Lessor as delineated herein shall become in full force and effect. (iii) Amount of rents paid shall be per schedule of rents as included herein and shall be paid according to the terms and conditions of this lease, less that amount currently being received as rents to the Lessor from existing tenants as of the date of execution of this Lease. Lessor shall continue to receive said rents in their entirety directly from existing tenants until such time as the contingencies herein are removed. At such time all rights thereto shall accrue to Lessee. At no time shall Lessee owe as rents any amount greater than as scheduled herein. Lessee may not evict or otherwise restrict the current uses of the tenants, or cause reason for said rents to cease or be interrupted as long as the contingencies herein remain in effect. At such time as the contingencies herein are removed, full rights over the uses to collect and possess without lien all tenant rents shall accrue to the Lessee, and all reductions in the amounts of lease rents as scheduled herein shall no longer be applicable. (iv) In the event that this contingency is removed by notice in writing to Lessor and/or Lessor's attorney, Lessor's attorney shall immediately release to Lessor all rents held in trust as per this clause. I. NONWAIVER. Acceptance of rent by Lessor or its agent shall not be --------- deemed to be a waiver by it of any breach by Lessee of any covenant herein contained or of Lessor's right to re-enter for breach of condition. Waiver by Lessor of any breach by Lessee shall not operate to extinguish the term, covenant or condition the breach whereof has been waived nor be deemed to be a waiver of Lessor's right to declare a forfeiture for any other breach thereof. J. PROOF OF TITLE. Lessor shall provide proof of title in the form of -------------- a status title report, commitment for title insurance, or title policy within thirty days of the date of execution of this Lease. Should Lessor fail to provide said proof, Lessee may at its option, obtain proof of title by any form stated above at Lessor's expense, or may declare this lease null and void and shall be entitled to the return of all rents and deposits paid to Lessor pursuant to this Lease. K. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. The Lessee may terminate this lease if any -------------------- individual, organization, governmental body, or other entity brings an action to remove or cleanup any toxic waste or other environmental hazard that may be present on the demised premises at any time. The Lessor shall promptly indemnify and hold Lessee harmless from any liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by Lessee, its successors and assigns, by virtue of the imposition, enforcement or collection of any lien against the Premises, created as a result of any such removal or cleanup. -13- L. CONDOMINIUM PROPERTY REGIME. Lessee has the right at any time, but --------------------------- not the obligation to submit the improvements constructed on the leased premises to a Condominium Property Regime as provided in (S)514-A, Hawaii Revised Statutes. Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee at all times in the processing and expediting of all requests to obtain the necessary approval for the permitted use of the said condominium property regime. Nothing herein shall be construed to discharge or otherwise release the Lessee from any liability with respect to this Lease or to the condominium property regime. Lessor and Lessee mutually understand and agree that in the event that the demised premises is submitted to a condominium property regime, Lessee shall execute subleases to any subsequent tenants of the premises. This Lease shall remain in full force and effect for its duration. M. NOTICES. Any notice or demand to Lessor or Lessee provided for or ------- permitted by this Lease may be given sufficiently for all purposes in writing mailed as registered or certified mail, addressed to such party at its post office address herein specified to the last such address designated by such party in writing to the other, or delivered personally within the State of Hawaii to any one of the Lessor or Lessee or any officer of Lessee if Lessee is a corporation or any general partner of Lessee if Lessee is a partnership, as the case may be, and shall be deemed conclusively to have been given on the date of such mailing or personal delivery. Any notice or demand to Lessee hereunder may be given sufficiently for all purposes to any person holding this Lease as Lessee, whether solely or with others, and any notice or demand to or acts by one such person with respect to this Lease shall constitute notice or demand to or acts by all such persons as Lessee. N. INTEGRATION AND AMENDMENT. This Lease is a complete integration of ------------------------- every agreement and representation made by or on behalf of Lessor and Lessee with respect to said premises and no implied covenant or prior oral or written agreement shall be held to vary the provisions hereof, any law or custom to the contrary notwithstanding. No amendment or modification of this Lease shall be effective unless incorporated in a written instrument executed by Lessor and Lessee. O. NO PARTNERSHIP INTENDED. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that Lessor ----------------------- in no event and for no purpose is a partner of Lessee in the conduct of any of its businesses or other affairs or a joint venturer or member of a joint enterprise with Lessee. P. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Lessor will from time to time, upon --------------------- reasonable written request from Lessee or Lessee's mortgagee(s), furnish to the party requesting it, an estoppel certificate duly executed and acknowledged by Lessor certifying (i) that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or if the Lease has been modified, is in full force and effect as modified and identifying the modifications; (ii) whether or not there is then any default by Lessee of any condition which with the passage of time or delivery of notice would become a default, and if so specifying the nature thereof; and (iii) the dates to which rent and any other charges payable under the Lease have been paid. Lessor will furnish the estoppel certificate without any charge other than a reasonable fee for reviewing and processing the request as described in Paragraph 16 of this Lease. -14- STATE OF HAWAII ) ) SS.
