b. OCEANSIDE shall attempt to negotiate a purchase price with any and all [Sellers]

price, then OCEANSIDE shall provide to [Seller] the Person a list containing no less than three (3) and no
more than five (5) qualified Appraisers to appraise the value of the [Seller's] Person's Segment(s) of the

OCEANSIDE and [Seller] the Person be unable to select an Appraiser or if [Seller] the Person and
OCEANSIDE cannot decide on a price recommended by mutually selected Appraiser, then upon written
10
request to the Mayor, the COUNTY shall be required to use its condemnation powers to acquire the
Segment(s) from the [Seller] Person pursuant to Paragraph (11).
C. Notwithstanding Paragraph (10.b), if [Seller] the Person fails to participate in
negotiations with OCEANSIDE for the purchase of Segment(s) of the Right-of-Way from [Seller] the Person
despite OCEANSIDE's good faith attempts to negotiate, then OCEANSIDE may, in its sole discretion,
submit a letter to the Mayor to have the COUNTY utilize its condemnation powers. Upon receipt of the
written request, the COUNTY shall be required to use its condemnation powers to acquire the Segment(s)
from the [Seller] Person pursuant to Paragraph (11).
11. CONDEMNATION OF LAND FOR BYPASS HIGHWAY. Should [Seller] the Person fail to
participate in negotiations with OCEANSIDE over the purchase of Segment(s) of the Right-of-Way from
[Seller] the Person or should OCEANSIDE and [Seller] the Person be unable to agree, during their
negotiations, to the purchase of the Segment(s) because of their failure to agree upon an Appraiser or on the
purchase price of the Segment(s) or on the terms of the purchase, the condemnation powers of the COUNTY
shall be required for the acquisition of the Segment(s).
a. Upon OCEANSIDE's tender of a requirement of condemnation by letter to the
COUNTY, the COUNTY shall within thirty (30) days begin to immediately and expeditiously exercise the
same pursuant to HRS Chapter 101. OCEANSIDE's tender of such requirement of condemnation to the
COUNTY shall constitute a "formal initiation of condemnation action" as the term is used in Condition L(2)
of Ordinance 96-8 and Condition M(2) of Ordinance 96-7 and shall relieve OCEANSIDE of all further
liability or obligation to purchase Segment(s) of the Right-of-Way directly from such [Seller] Person.
b. The COUNTY shall submit to OCEANSIDE a written request for payment of any
and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the COUNTY for the acquisition of the condemned land
in conjunction with the COUNTY'S exercise of its condemnation powers when OCEANSIDE has determined
in its sole and absolute discretion that there is a need for possession or in the event that a Court orders
payment for the acquired land. Within forty-five (45) days of written notice from the COUNTY,
OCEANSIDE shall reimburse the COUNTY for any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the
COUNTY for the acquisition of the condemned land in conjunction with the COUNTY's exercise of its
condemnation powers. OCEANSIDE shall not be responsible to reimburse the COUNTY for any and all
costs relating to the salary of County personnel and administration and overhead, including but not limited
to independent contractors and legal counsel, and any interest payments incurred by COUNTY as a result
of COUNTY's failure to pay compensation to [Seller] the Person within thirty (30) days of final judgment
in the condemnation action. The written notice described herein from the COUNTY to OCEANSIDE shall
contain a detailed verifiable accounting of any and all such costs and expenses.
11
C. [Nothwithstanding Paragraph (II.b), OCEANSIDE shall not be obligated to
reimburse the COUNTY for any costs it incurred for the condemned land if such costs exceed the appraised
value of the Segment(s) of the Right(s)-of-Way as determined by an Appraiser selected by OCEANSIDE
("Appraised Value"). OCEANSIDE may waive this requirement if the COUNTY informs OCEANSIDE
of the cost of the condemned land prior to having incurred such costs and provided that OCEANSIDE
approved such cost in writing. The COUNTY agrees that OCEANSIDE shall have the discretion and the
right to withhold the difference between the cost of the condemned land as determined by a court of law and
the Appraised Value if OCEANSIDE's approval was not first received or for those services that
OCEANSIDE deems unreasonable, unnecessary or excessive. In such a case, OCEANSIDE shall provide
to the COUNTY a written notice of OCEANSIDE'S objections within thirty (30) calendar days from the
receipt of COUNTY's written request for payment.
d.] Should a dispute arise over the amount of monies owed by OCEANSIDE to the
COUNTY, then both parties agree to first pursue settlement of the dispute by arbitration pursuant to HRS
Chapter 658. OCEANSIDE shall submit to the COUNTY a list of arbitrators to hear the dispute. The
COUNTY hasten (10) calendar days to select one (1) arbitrator from OCEANS] DE's list. If the COUNTY
fails to select an arbitrator, then OCEANSIDE may select an arbitrator to hear the dispute.

should a Person donate the Segment(s) of the Right-of-Way to OCEANSIDE for no consideration, the
COUNTY shall:
a. Grant the Person who contributes their land towards the Bypass Highway units of
credit which may be used by the Person to off -set future roadway fair share assessment or impact fee
requirements. Each unit of credit shall off-set the roadway fair share assessment or impact fee requirement
for one (1) dwelling or lodge unit. The amount of credits shall be the total value of the Segment(s) for Right-
of-Way divided by the per lot fair share assessment or impact fee requirement to mitigate road impacts for
each $3,101.68 value of land contributed. The total value of the Segment(s) for Right-of-Way shall be based
on the appraised value of the Segment(s) at the time the Person dedicates and/or donates the Segment(s) to
OCEANSIDE as determined by the Appraiser selected using the procedures outlined in subparagraph (]0.b).
b. The COUNTY shall grant a density credit to Persons whose lands are donated for
the Segment(s) of the Right-of-Way. The density credit is equal to the area of land that is utilized. The
density credit shall be added to the Person's remaining property at the time the Person obtains land use
approvals from the COUNTY. The density credit allows the Person to develop the total number of units that
would be permitted under the applicable zoning at the time the Person obtains land use approvals as if the
Person had not contributed land for the Right-of-Way
12

ordinance requirements relating to Regional highway Impacts on Persons whose lands have been donated
to the County or sold for the Right-of-Way and who develop their lands in conformance with existing zoning.

and by OCEANSIDE. As required by the chief engineer of the County Department of Public Works,
OCEANSIDE shall provide a landscape buffer along highway sections where the highway is within five
hundred (500) feet of dwellings existing as of January 1, 1998.
b. Prior to the issuance of the first final Small-lot Subdivision approval for any portion
of the Property, OCEANSIDE shall:
(1) Post a bond in favor of the COUNTY to assure that the infrastructure
improvements for the Bypass Highway and for the channelization and signalization of the Mamalahoa
Highway-Haleki'i Street intersection will be constructed;
(2) Determine the final Right-of-Way for the alignment of the entire Bypass
Highway, including the intersection areas. OCEANSIDE shall provide the Director with a metes and bounds
description of each Segment of the Right-of-Way involved and evidence of ownership or control as deemed
necessary by the Director. In lieu of OCEANSIDE obtaining or acquiring ownership or control of any
segment of the Bypass Highway, the requirement shall be deemed fulfilled upon the COUNTY's formal
initiation of condemnation action(s) pursuant to Paragraph (11) for such Segments. The COUNTY shall
issue a letter attached as Exhibit "N" that acknowledges OCEANSIDE's satisfaction of the requirement to
obtain or acquire ownership or control of the Right-of-Way for the entire length of the Bypass Highway,
including those portions that the County has initiated condemnation proceedings and/or has ownership or
control over, which removes the requirement from OCEANSIDE.
(3) Provide a bond for relevant phases of the extension of Haleki'i Street,
through the subject property as generally reflected in Exhibit "O", which phasing of improvements shall be
approved by the COUNTY Department of Public Works.
13
C. Prior to occupancy of any dwelling unit within the Property or prior to the issuance
of an occupancy permit for the lodge, whichever occurs first, OCEANSIDE shall:
(1) Complete construction of the roadway section from Keauhou to the makai
extension of Haleki'i Street; and
(2) Install a barricade or breakaway gate meeting with the requirements of the
COUNTY Department of Public Works if, before the completion and opening of the entire Bypass Highway,
a portion of said bypass is completed and opened, and said portion provides a connection to Haleki'i Street;
d. In any event from the time construction commences, the entire Bypass Highway
shall be completed within five (5) years provided that those certain circumstances as articulated in Paragraph
(39) do not exist.
14. DEDICATION OF BYPASS HIGHWAY. The Bypass Highway shall be dedicated to the
COUNTY in phases, if any, upon completion and the COUNTY shall accept said dedication within sixty (60)
calendar days; provided that the Bypass Highway, as constructed, complies with plans and specifications for
said highway as approved by the County. Following dedication of the Bypass Highway to the COUNTY,
the COUNTY shall assume all responsibility and costs for operation, maintenance, repair or reconstruction
of the Bypass Highway.
15. REIMBURSEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR THE BYPASS HIGHWAY.
a. Responsibility of Developer. OCEANSIDE shall be responsible for all costs
associated with the design, land acquisition, construction of the Bypass Highway, including, without
limitation, the costs associated with obtaining any necessary Approvals associated with the same ("Total
Cost"); provided that, nothing herein shall be construed as preventing OCEANSIDE from seeking
reimbursement for such costs and the total amount of reimbursement received by OCEANSIDE shall not
exceed the difference between the Total Cost of the Bypass Highway and the "Project Impact Cost", as
described in further detail in Paragraph (15.a.1).
(1) Based on a development constituting seven hundred thirty (730) lots and
eighty (80) lodge units ("Project Unit Count"), the Project constitutes approximately thirty-eight (38) percent
of the total capacity of the Bypass Highway based upon a Level of Service "D" ("Project Impact"). Should
OCEANSIDE develop less or more than the Project Unit Count, then the percentage of traffic attributable
to the Project shall be adjusted accordingly. The Total Cost of the Bypass Highway multiplied by the Project
Impact shall determine the Project Impact Cost. For example, if the Total Cost of the Bypass Highway is
$1.0 million and the Project Impact is thirty-eight (38%) percent, the Project Impact Cost is $380,000.00.
In such a case, OCEANSIDE shall then be eligible to receive no more than $620,000 of reimbursement ($1.0
million minus $380,000).
14
(2) The remaining balance of the Total Cost of the Bypass Highway after
deducting OCEANSIDE's and Kealakekua Development Corporation's share shall be reimbursed to
OCEANSIDE with funds from income sources identified in Paragraph (15.c.1) for costs incurred by
OCEANSIDE in the land acquisition, design, planning, construction, development and approval of the
Bypass Highway.
b. Adoption of a Impact Fee Ordinance. Should the County Council adopt a Impact
Fee Ordinance, OCEANSIDE shall receive one (1) unit of credit for every $3,101.68 it has spent toward the
construction of the Bypass Highway and the Haleki'i Street intersection improvements. The credits may be
applied toward the requirements of an Impact Fee Ordinance.
C. Funds for Reimbursement. During the course of this Agreement, if the COUNTY
approves new rezonings in the vicinity of Mamalahoa Highway, then the COUNTY shall assess those new
developments a "Fair Share" contribution in accordance with Council Policy, or similar fee, to address the
regional impacts of their development on road facilities. In the event that the COUNTY collects funds for
such "Fair Share" contributions, or similar fees, as may be allowed by the rezoning ordinances, and as
identified in Paragraphs (15.c. I. and 15.c.2. herein) from developers and landowners whom the County has
determined as benefitting from the Bypass Highway, the COUNTY shall reimburse OCEANSIDE from such
funds as they are collected.
(1) Funds to reimburse OCEANSIDE shall be from, but not limited to, the
following sources:
(a) "Fair Share" contributions paid to the COUNTY to address
potential regional impacts of their development on road facilities;
(b) Upon the adoption of a Impact Fee Ordinance that assesses or
imposes an impact fee either for the COUNTY as a whole or for the region extending from Keauhou to
[South Point) Milolii, that portion of the impact fee necessary to address potential regional impacts on road
facilities;
(c) Any other monetary contribution paid to the COUNTY from
developers or land owners, whom the COUNTY determines as benefiting from the Bypass Highway, to
address potential regional impacts of such developer's or land owner's development on road facilities;
(2) In addition to the reimbursement funds identified in Paragraph (15.c.1),
OCEANSIDE shall be entitled to "Fair Share" contributions in the amount of $3.6 million, as may be
adjusted from time to time, paid to the COUNTY by Kealakekua Development Corporation or its successors
to address potential regional impacts of Kealakekua Development Corporation's project, less $1.3 million
15
representing contributions toward Mamalahoa Highway Improvements and improvements to Greenwell Park
as required by Conditions K and N(2), respectively, of Ordinance 95-70, as may be amended.
(3) Should the COUNTY Council adopt an Impact Fee Ordinance, developers
and land owners whom the COUNTY determined as benefitting from the Bypass Highway shall receive
Highway Credits to be applied toward the requirements of a Impact Fee Ordinance.
(4) [SO]AS long as the COUNTY shall assess those new rezonings in the
vicinity of Mamalahoa Highway a fair share contribution in accordance with Council policy, or if adopted,
an impact fee, to address the regional impacts of their developments on road facilities, OCEANSIDE
acknowledges and understands that should any funds or options identified in the preceding sections 15.b and
c. fail to materialize or fail to meet the remainder of the total cost of the Bypass Highway, the COUNTY
shall not be held responsible for any reimbursements.
d. "Benefit" to Other Developments. The COUNTY finds that certain geographic
portions of Mamalahoa Highway are currently congested and that any new development is severely restricted
because of traffic considerations. Developments within the geographic region extending from Keauhou to
the north and to [Hawaiian Ocean View Estates] Milolii to the south will benefit in varying degrees from the
construction of the Bypass Highway. This benefit is based on the congestion relief provided by the Bypass
Highway to Mamalahoa Highway/Kuakini Highway as well as by providing direct access to the land along
the Bypass Highway corridor. Accordingly, the amount of the "benefit" of the bypass Highway will vary
by geographic region.
(1) Amount of Reimbursement to OCEANSIDE. The amount of the
COUNTY's reimbursement to OCEANSIDE shall be based on a percentage of those income sources
identified in subparagraph (15.c) which are collected or assessed by the COUNTY from other developers
and land owners whom the COUNTY has determined as benefitting from the Bypass Highway. The
percentage paid shall be in accordance with the geographic areas as described below, and as more
particularly shown on Exhibit "P".
16
Area Description Percentaee
1. Keauhou 25%'
2. Honalo-Captain Cook-
Existing Mamalahoa Hwy Corridor 80%
3. Honalo-Captain Cook - Mauka Area 100%
4. Honalo-Captain Cook - Makai Area 100%
5. Captain Cook to Milolii 65%
"In recognition of the existing Keauhou road and traffic improvements, any "Fair Share" contribution,
impact fee or similar fee assessed on new rezonings by the County Council in the Keauhou Area may be
satisfied in the form of cash, land and/or facilities, or any combination thereof acceptable to the director.
(2) Collection of Funds. Any Reimbursement Funds received by COUNTY
shall be held in trust for OCEANSIDE and promptly remitted to OCEANSIDE by the COUNTY no later than
ninety (90) days following the COUNTY's receipt of such remittance.
e. Private Agreements. The provisions of this Paragraph shall not preclude
OCEANSIDE from entering into private agreements with the State and/or such other developers or
landowners to allocate the payment of Reimbursement Funds related to the Bypass Highway directly to
OCEANSIDE. OCEANSIDE shall submit receipts of such payments to the COUNTY.
f Reimbursement Agreement. The provisions for reimbursement contained in this
Agreement shall constitute an agreement for reimbursement between COUNTY and OCEANSIDE, which
agreement shall satisfy the mandates of Condition L of Ordinance 96-8, and Condition M of Ordinance 96-7.
16. ROADWAY STUB-OUTS. OCEANSIDE shall provide roadway stub-outs, generally shown
in Exhibit "Q", to provide future connections between the Property and its adjacent north and south
boundaries. Such roadway stub-outs shall be constructed in phases and in conjunction with the completion
of subdivision improvements on adjacent Property.
17. PUBLIC ACCESS PLAN. OCEANSIDE shall develop, in consultation with community
groups, a final comprehensive Public Access Plan. The Public Access Plan shall be submitted to and
approved by the Director prior to final subdivision approval of the first small-lot subdivision.

interpretive trail system(s) and to the historical and archaeological sites. Such a Public Access Plan shall
be approved by the Director, in consultation with the DLNR. In developing the Public Access Plan,
OCEANSIDE should attempt to protect both land and ocean resources and natural conditions, as reasonably
practicable.
18. COASTLINE PARK. OCEANSIDE shall develop the portion of its lands in the Property
located in the Conservation District for use as a Coastline Park for the benefit of the public pursuant to the
Approvals.
a. Construction and Development of the Coastline Park. OCEANSIDE shall be
responsible for any and all costs associated with the design, operation and maintenance, construction and
development of the Coastline Park, including, without limitation, the costs associated with obtaining any
necessary Approvals associated with the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OCEANSIDE may transfer
it obligations, in whole or in part, under this paragraph to the Project's "Homeowner Association" or other
similar entity formed for the purpose of serving as the governing body for all the members and owners of
the Project for the protection, improvement, alteration, maintenance, repair, replacement, administration and
operation of the common areas, for the assessment of expenses, for the payment of losses, and for other

Additionally, if requested by OCEANSIDE or the Homeowner Association, and if approved
by the COUNTY, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, said Developer or the Homeowner
Association may assign its responsibilities, in whole or in part, under this paragraph to a foundation or other
entity to assume the duties and obligations stated herein.
b. The construction and development of the Coastline Park shall be completed in
phases roughly proportional to the phases of the Project's development as may be approved by the Director
pursuant to the Approvals and shall be subject to the obtaining of all necessary discretionary permits (e.g.
Conservation District Use Approval, Special Management Area Use Permit, etc.).
(1) An area comprising twenty five percent (25%) of the total Coastline Park
as shown on Exhibit "R" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, shall be developed and
18

Approval is obtained on any portion of the Property.
(2) The first phase of the Coastline Park shall be opened to the public within
thirty (30) days following the opening of the golf course.
(3) In accordance with Ordinance 96-7 and 96-8, upon opening the first phase

No. 345.
d. Prior to receiving final approval of the first Small-lot Subdivision, OCEANSIDE
shall convey to COUNTY a perpetual easement for public access over and recreational use of the Coastline
Park area pursuant to such restrictions as may be established by OCEANSIDE with the approval of the
Director, to promote public health and safety and the general security of the Coastline Park for residents and

pursuant to HRS Chapter 520.
C. OCEANSIDE's fee simple interest in the land area of the Coastline Park shall be
retained by OCEANSIDE, who shall own and manage the Coastline Park; provided that OCEANSIDE, in

governmental entity or agency parry to this Agreement from requiring OCEANSIDE to comply with laws,
ordinances, resolutions, rules and policies of general applicability and not specific to OCEANSIDE enacted
subsequent to the date of this Agreement, if, under prior law, such laws, ordinances, resolutions, rules and
policies could have been lawfully applied to the Property or any uses thereof as of the date of this Agreement

impose the requirements because a failure to do so would place the residents of the Project or the immediate
community in a condition perilous to the residents' health or safety, or both.
