B. DATA FOR ADMINISTRATION OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, beginning with Fiscal Year 2021-22, all Taxable Property within CFD
No. 1-2021 shall be assigned to Tax Zone I or Tax Zone 2 and, within each Tax Zone,
shall be classified as Developed Property, Final Mapped Property, Undeveloped
Property, or Taxable Property Owner Association Property, and shall be subject to
Special Taxes in accordance with this RMA as determined pursuant to Sections C and D
below. TMK Parcels of Developed Property within Tax Zone I shall be further classified
as Single Family Detached Property, Single Family Attached Property, Other Residential
Property, or Non -Residential Property. TMK Parcels of Single Family Detached
Property shall be assigned to Land Use Classes I through 7, as listed in Table I below
based on the Residential Floor Area of the Units on such TMK Parcels, and TMK Parcels
of Single Family Attached Property shall be assigned to Land Use Class 8. Also, Other
Residential Property shall be assigned to Land Use Class 9, and Non -Residential Property
shall be assigned to Land Use Class 10.

Administrator shall compare the revised land uses to the Expected Land Uses to
evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues. Prior to the First
Bond Sale and issuance of any subsequent series of Bonds, and together with the CFD
Administrator's review on at least a quarterly basis, the owners of all TMK Parcels for
which Building Permits have yet to be issued shall provide the CFD Administrator with
a written confirmation of the Expected Land Uses on each TMK Parcel.

rates shown in Table I above shall be increased by an amount equal to two
percent (2.0%) of the amount in effect.for the prior Fiscal Year,
2) Backup Special Tax
Prior to the First Bond Sale, if a Land Use Change occurs that
results in a change in Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues,
no action will be needed pursuant to this Section C.l.a.2. Upon
identification of the Land Use Change, the CFD Administrator
shall update Attachment 2 to reflect the revised Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount
used to size the Bonds being issued.
After the First Bond Sale, if a Land Use Change occurs that
results in a change in Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues,
no action will be needed pursuant to this Section C.l.a.2 as long
as the Required Coverage will still be achieved. Upon
identification of the Land Use Change, the CFD Administrator
shall update Attachment 2 to show the revised Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues.
If the CFD Administrator determines that a Land Use Change
would result in a failure to achieve the Required Coverage, the
Hawaii County CFD No. I-2021 9 June 23, 2021
Backup Special Tax shall be calculated by application of the
following steps:
Step 1: Determine the Maximum Special Tax Revenues needed
to maintain Required Coverage.
Step 2: Increase Proportionately the Assigned Special Tax for
each Land Use Class within the Expected Land Uses
that was not Developed Property in the prior Fiscal Year
up to the amounts needed so that the Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues equal the amount
computed in Step 1.
Step 3: The Backup Special Tax for each Land Use Class of
Expected Land Uses that was not Developed Property in
the prior Fiscal Year shall be the amount calculated in
Step 2.
Step 4: The Backup Special Taxes identified in Step 3 shall
increase on July I of the next Fiscal Year, and each July
I thereafter, by an amount equal to two percent (2.0%)
of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
After determining the Backup Special Tax, the CFD
Administrator shall adjust Attachment 2 to reflect the Expected
Land Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues after
the Land Use Change that necessitated the levy of the Backup
Special Tax.
The duties imposed on the CFD Administrator to review Land Use
Changes, Final Plat Maps, and Building Permits, and to make the
calculations set forth above, are intended only to facilitate
administration of the Special Tax and to better ensure the
sufficiency of tax capacity to pay debt service on Bonds. Such
duties are not intended to give any developer, subdivider, or owner
of property in CFD No. 1-2021 any right to receive notice of the
potential impact of Land Use Changes, but each such developer,
subdivider, or owner of property is responsible for understanding
that a Backup Special Tax may be levied because of a Land Use
Change. Further, each developer, subdivider, or owner of property
in CFD No. 1-2021 that is not Developed Property is required to
provide information and documentation to, and to coordinate with,
the CFD Administrator on at least a quarterly basis to confirm
anticipated Land Use Changes and determine Expected Land Uses.
Hawaii County CFD No. 1-2021 10 June 23, 2021
The Backup Special Tax for a TMKParcel shall not change once
a TMK Parcel is classified as Developed Property; provided,
however, that the Backup Special Tax on a TMK Parcel of
Developed Property shall increase each July I by an amount
equal to two percent (2.0/) of the amount in effect for the prior
Fiscal Year.
3) Multiple Land Use Classes on a TMK Parcel
In some instances, a TMK Parcel of Developed Property may
contain more than one Land Use Class. The Maximum Special
Tax levied on such TMK Parcel shall be the sum of the Maximum
Special Tax for all Units of Single Family Property and Acres of
Other Residential Property and Non -Residential Property (based
on the pro rata share of Square Footage between Other Residential
Property and Non -Residential Property, according to the applicable
Building Permits, Final Plat Map, parcel map, condominium plan,
or other recorded County map) located on that TMK Parcel.
b. Final Mapped Property, Undeveloped Property, and Taxable
Property Owner Association Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Final Mapped Property, Undeveloped
Property, and Taxable Property Owner Association Property in Tax Zone
1 shall be $11,298 per Acre in Fiscal Year 2021-22, which amount shall
increase on July 1, 2022, and each July 1 thereafter by an amount equal to
two percent (2.0%) of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
2. Tax Zone 2
a. Developed Property
No Special Tax shall be levied on Developed Property in Tax Zone 2.
b. Final Mapped Property, Undeveloped Property, and Taxable
Property Owner Association Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Final Mapped Property, Undeveloped
Property, and Taxable Property Owner Association Property in Tax Zone
2 shall be $22,596 per Acre in Fiscal Year 2021-22, which amount shall
increase on July 1, 2022, and each July 1 thereafter by an amount equal to
two percent (2.0%) of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
Hawai'i County CFD No. 1-2021 11 June 23, 2021
D. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Tax Zone I
Each Fiscal Year, beginning with Fiscal Year 2021-22, the CFD Administrator
shall determine the Tax Zone I Special Tax Requirement for that Fiscal Year and
levy the Special Tax on all TMK Parcels of Taxable Property in Tax Zone I as
follows:
Step 1: If needed to satisfy the Tax Zone I Special Tax Requirement, but
not accounting for Capitalized Interest, the Special Tax shall be
levied Proportionately on each TMK Parcel of Developed Property
in Tax Zone I up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax.
Step 2: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Tax Zone I Special
Tax Requirement after Step I has been completed, and after
applying Capitalized Interest, then the Special Tax shall be levied
Proportionately on each TMK Parcel of Final Mapped Property in
Tax Zone I up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Final
Mapped Property in Tax Zone 1.
Step 3: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Tax Zone I Special
Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed,
then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each TMK
Parcel of Undeveloped Property in Tax Zone I up to 100% of the
Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property in Tax Zone 1.
Step 4: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Tax Zone I Special
Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed,
then the levy of the Special Tax on each TMK Parcel of Developed
Property in Tax Zone I whose Maximum Special Tax is
determined through the application of the Backup Special Tax
shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned Special Tax
up to the Maximum Special Tax for each such TMK Parcel until
the amount levied is equal to the Tax Zone I Special Tax
Requirement.
Step 5: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Tax Zone I Special
Tax Requirement after the first four steps have been completed,
then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each TMK
Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association Property in Tax
Zone I up to the Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Property
Owner Association Property in Tax Zone 1.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances shall the Special Tax levied
in any Fiscal Year on any TMK Parcel of Single Family Property or Other
HawaN County CFD No. 1-2021 12 June 23, 2021
Residential Property in Tax Zone I for which an occupancy permit for private
residential use has been issued be increased as a result of delinquency or default
by the owner or owners of any other TMK Parcel or TMK Parcels within Tax
Zone I by more than ten percent (10.0%) above the amount that would have been
levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
2. Tax Zone 2
At the earliest possible date on which the County Real Property Tax Office is able
to provide information to the CFD Administrator regarding the collection of
Special Taxes within Tax Zone 1, the CFD Administrator shall determine the total
aggregate Special Taxes levied on Final Mapped Property and Undeveloped
Property within Tax Zone I that are delinquent. Within five business days after
making such determination, the CFD Administrator shall do the following:
Step 1: Calculate the Tax Zone 2 Special Tax Requirement.
Step 2: If needed to satisfy the Tax Zone 2 Special Tax Requirement, then
the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each TMK
Parcel of Final Mapped Property in Tax Zone 2 up to 100% of the
Maximum Special Tax for Final Mapped Property in Tax Zone 2.
Step 3: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Tax Zone 2 Special
Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed,
then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each TMK
Parcelof Undeveloped Property in Tax Zone 2 up to 100% of the
Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property in Tax Zone 2.
Step 4: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Tax Zone 2 Special
Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed,
then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each TMK
Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association Property in Tax
Zone 2 up to the Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Property
Owner Association Property in Tax Zone 2.
Step 5: For each TMK Parcel in Tax Zone 2 to be taxed, prepare and send
a direct bill via overnight delivery to the record owner of such
TMK Parcel based on ownership and address information available
from the current County Real Property Tax Office tax roll.
The Special Tax in Tax Zone 2 shall be due and payable within 30 days from the
date of delivery of the direct tax bill. If, within 30 days from the date the direct
bill was delivered, payment of the Special Tax levied against a TMK Parcel in
Tax Zone 2 has not been received by the County or the CFD Administrator,
foreclosure proceedings shall commence immediately against such TMK parcel.
The Special Tax shall have the same priority and bear the same penalties and
Hawaii County CFD No. 1-2021 13 June 23, 2021
interest after delinquency as do ad valorem real property taxes. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Special Tax may be collected in the same manner and at the
same time as ordinary ad valorem real property taxes.
E. COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Taxes in Tax Zone I will be collected in the same manner and at the same
time as ordinary ad valorem real property taxes; provided, however, that prepayments are
permitted as set forth in Section G below and provided further that the County may
directly bill the Special Taxes and may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a
different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to
foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent TMK Parcels as permitted by the
Code.
F. EXEMPTIONS
No Special Tax shall be levied on up to 60.0 Acres of Property Owner Association
Property in Tax Zone 1. Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in
the chronological order in which property becomes Property Owner Association Property
within Tax Zone 1.
Property Owner Association Property that is not exempt from the Special Tax under this
section shall be subject to the levy of a Special Tax and shall be taxed Proportionately as
part of the fifth step in Section D.1 above, or part of the fourth step in Section D.2 above,
up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Property Owner
Association Property. Also, the nonexempt owner of a leasehold or possessory interest in
Public Property shall be subject to the levy of a Special Tax pursuant to Section 32-54 of
the Code and shall be classified and taxed as Developed Property, Final Mapped
Property, Undeveloped Property, or Taxable Property Owner Association Property.
No Special Tax shall be levied in any Fiscal Year on TMK Parcels in Tax Zone I that
have fully prepaid the Special Tax obligation pursuant to the formula set forth below in
Section G.
G. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax obligation of a TMK Parcel in Tax Zone I may be prepaid; however,
the Special Tax obligation of a TMK Parcel in Tax Zone 2 cannot be prepaid. The
following definitions apply to this Section G:
"Construction Fund" means funds or accounts (regardless of their names)
identified in the Indenture to hold monies that are available to acquire or construct
public facilities eligible under the Code.
Hawaii County CFD No. 1-2021 14 June 23, 2021
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain
outstanding, with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied
against, or already paid by, a TMK Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of
the Special Tax will be used to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the
Bonds that remain outstanding (as determined by the CFD Administrator), that
next principal payment shall be subtracted from the total Bond principal that
remains outstanding, and the difference shall be used as the amount of
Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued on behalf of
CFD No. 1-2021 prior to the date of prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirements" means either $13,229,000 in 2021 dollars,
which shall increase by the Public Facilities Inflation Index on July 1, 2022, and
each July I thereafter, or such lower number as (i) determined by the CFD
Administrator as sufficient to fund the public facilities to be provided under the
authorized bonding program for CFD No. 1-2021, or (ii) shall be determined by
the County Council concurrently with a covenant that it will not issue any more
Bonds to be supported by Special Taxes levied under this RMA as described in
Section D above.
"Public Facilities Inflation Index" means the annual percentage change in the
Honolulu Construction Cost Index: Single Family Residence, measured as of
December of the calendar year which ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the
event this index ceases to be published, the Public Facilities Inflation Index shall
be another index as determined by the CFD Administrator that is reasonably
comparable to the Honolulu Construction Cost Index: Single Family Residence.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirements (as
defined above), minus public facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds (as
defined above), developer equity, Special Tax prepayments, and/or any other
source of funding.
Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation may be prepaid and the obligation of a TMK Parcel in
Tax Zone I to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as described herein,
provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special
Taxes with respect to such TMK Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of a
TMK Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation shall provide the
County with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such
written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the prepayment
amount for such TMK Parcel; the CFD Administrator may charge a fee for
providing this service. Prepayment must be made not less than 75 days prior to
any redemption date for Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid
Hawai'i County CFD No. 1-2021 15 June 23, 2421
Special Taxes. The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows
(capitalized terms as defined below):
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be
determined by the CFD Administrator pursuant to the following steps:
Step 1: Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such TMK
Parcel.
Step 2: Compute the total Maximum Special Tax that could be levied on
the TMK Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal Year in
which prepayment would be received by the County, as set forth in
Section C above. For TMK Parcels of Developed Property, the
Maximum Special Tax equals the greater of the Assigned Special
Tax and Backup Special Tax.
Step 3: (a) Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 2
for such TMK Parcel by the total estimated Maximum Special Tax
Revenues that could be levied in that Fiscal Year on property
within Tax Zone 1, as set forth in Section C above, excluding any
TMK Parcels which have prepaid their Special Tax obligation, and
(b) Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 2
for such TMK Parcel by the Maximum Special Tax Revenues that
could be generated at buildout for the entire Tax Zone I area as
determined by the CFD Administrator based on the Development
Plan and other information currently available, excluding any
TMK Parcels which have prepaid their Special Tax obligation.
Step 4: Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to Steps 3(a) or
3(b) by the Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of
Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the "Bond
Redemption Amount").
Step 5: Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 6: Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to Steps 3(a) or
3(b) by the amount determined pursuant to Step 5 to compute the

Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be
determined by the CFD Administrator pursuant to the following steps:
Step 1: Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such TMK
Parcel.
Step 2: Compute the total Maximum Special Tax that could be levied on
the TMK Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal Year in
which prepayment would be received by the County, as set forth in
Section C above. For TMK Parcels of Developed Property, the
Maximum Special Tax equals the greater of the Assigned Special
Tax and Backup Special Tax.
Step 3: (a) Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 2
for such TMK Parcel by the total estimated Maximum Special Tax
Revenues that could be levied in that Fiscal Year on property
within Tax Zone 1, as set forth in Section C above, excluding any
TMK Parcels which have prepaid their Special Tax obligation, and
(b) Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 2
for such TMK Parcel by the Maximum Special Tax Revenues that
could be generated at buildout for the entire Tax Zone I area as
determined by the CFD Administrator based on the Development
Plan and other information currently available, excluding any
TMK Parcels which have prepaid their Special Tax obligation.
Step 4: Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to Steps 3(a) or
3(b) by the Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of
Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the "Bond
Redemption Amount").
Step 5: Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 6: Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to Steps 3(a) or
3(b) by the amount determined pursuant to Step 5 to compute the
Hawai'i County CFD No. 1-2021 16 June 23, 2021
amount of Remaining Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the
"Remaining Facilities Amount").
Step 7. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step
4 by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
Step 8: Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond
Redemption Amount starting with the first Bond interest payment
date after which the prepayment has been received until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds, which, depending on
the Bond offering document, may be as early as the next interest
payment date.
Step 9: Compute the amount of interest the County reasonably expects to
derive from reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus
the Redemption Premium from the first Bond interest payment
date after which the prepayment has been received until the
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
Step 10: Take the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 and subtract the
amount computed pursuant to Step 9 (the "Defeasance
Requirement").
Step 11: Determine the costs to compute the prepayment amount, the costs
to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs to redeem Bonds, the
costs to record any notices to evidence the prepayment and the
redemption, and any other administrative costs associated with the
prepayment (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
Step 12: If and to the extent so provided in the Indenture pursuant to which
the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed were issued, a reserve fund
credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the applicable reserve
fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to the
prepayment (the "Reserve Fund Credit"). No Reserve Fund
Credit shall be granted if reserve funds are below 100% of the
reserve requirement on the calculation date.
Step 13: The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to Steps 4, 6, 7, 10, and 11, less the amount
computed pursuant to Step 12 (the "Prepayment Amount").
Step 14: From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to
Steps 4, 7, 10, and 12 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund
as established under the Indenture and used to retire Outstanding
Bonds or make debt service payments. The amount computed
Hawai'i County CFD No. 1-2021 17 June 23, 2021
pursuant to Step 6 shall be deposited into the Construction Fund.
The amount computed pursuant to Step 11 shall be retained by the
County for CFD No. 1-2021.
The Special Tax Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a
$5,000 increment of Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000, or
integral multiple thereof, will be retained in the appropriate fund established
under the Indenture to be used with the next prepayment of Bonds or to make debt
service payments as provided in the Indenture.
For any TMK Parcel that is prepaid, the County Council shall cause a suitable
notice to be recorded and filed with the Bureau of Conveyances and/or Land
Court in compliance with the Code, to indicate the prepayment of Special Taxes
and the release of the Special Tax lien on such TMK Parcel, and the obligation of
such TMK Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall cease. The CFD Administrator
shall mail a copy of the notice to the owner and any known lessee of the property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed
unless the amount of Assigned Special Tax that may be levied on Taxable
Property (excluding Taxable Property Owner Association Property) at buildout of
the entire Tax Zone I area, as determined by the CFD Administrator based on the
Development Plan and other information currently available. both prior to and
after the proposed prepayment, is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt
service on all Outstanding Bonds plus the estimated Administrative Expenses.
2. Partial Prepayment
The Special Tax on a TMK Parcel of Taxable Property in Tax Zone I may be
partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section
G.1, except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated by the CFD
Administrator according to the following formula:
PP = (PF—AE) x % + AE.
The terms above have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PF = the Prepayment Amount (full prepayment) for the Special Tax
calculated according to Section G.1
AE = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Step
11 above
% = the percentage by which the owner of the TMK Parcel(s) is
partially prepaying the Special Tax
The Special Tax partial prepayment amount must be sufficient to redeem at least a
$5,000 increment of Bonds.
Hawaii County CFD No. 1-2021 18 June 23, 2021
The owner of any TMK Parcel who desires such prepayment shall notify the CFD
Administrator of such owner's intent to partially prepay the Special Tax and the
percentage by which the Special Tax shall be prepaid. The CFD Administrator
shall provide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial
prepayment of the Special Tax within thirty (30) days of the request and may
charge a fee for providing this service. With respect to any TMK Parcel that is
partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (1) distribute the remitted
prepayment funds according to Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of
CFD No. 1-2021 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax and
that a portion of the Special Tax with respect to such TMK Parcel, equal to the
outstanding percentage (1.00 — "W', as defined above) of the Maximum Special
Tax, shall continue to be levied on such TMK Parcel pursuant to Section D.1.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax partial prepayment shall be
allowed unless the amount of Assigned Special Tax that may be levied on
Taxable Property (excluding Taxable Property Owner Association Property) at
buildout of the entire Tax Zone I area, as determined by the CFD Administrator
based on the Development Plan and other information currently available, both
prior to and after the proposed partial prepayment, is at least 1.1 times the
maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds plus the estimated
Administrative Expenses.
The County reserves the right to make minor administrative and technical changes to this
document that do not materially affect the rate and method of apportioning the Special
Taxes. In addition, interpretation and application of any section of this document shall be
left to the County's discretion. Interpretations may be made by the County by ordinance
or resolution for purposes of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this RMA.
I. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
1. Tax Zone 1
The Fiscal Year after which no further Special Tax shall be levied or collected in
Tax Zone I is Fiscal Year 2060-61, except that the Special Tax that was lawfully
levied in or before such Fiscal Year and that remains delinquent may be collected
in subsequent years.
2. Tax Zone 2
The Special Tax in Tax Zone 2 shall be levied for the period necessary to fully
satisfy the Tax Zone 2 Special Tax Requirement, but in no event shall the Special
Hawaii County CFD No. 1-2021 19 June 23, 2021
Tax be levied in Tax Zone 2 after the earlier of (i) June 30, 2081, or (ii) the date
on which the CFD Administrator files with the County Council a written
notification (which the CFD Administrator shall file as soon as reasonably
practicable after the close of a Fiscal Year) that the following events all occurred
in the prior Fiscal Year:
a. Debt Service Test. The County Council has resolved or
covenanted that it will not issue any additional Bonds for CFD No.
1-2021 except for refunding purposes, provided that the debt
service in any Fiscal Year on all outstanding Bonds after such
issuance does not exceed the debt service on the Bonds before the
refunding; and
b. Special Tax Revenue Test — Developed Property. The aggregate
Special Taxes received from Taxable Property in CFD No. 1-2021
from the levy of such Fiscal Year's Special Tax (as opposed to
receipts from prior Fiscal Years and penalties and interest) on
TMK Parcels in Tax Zone I that were classified as Developed
Property for such Fiscal Year were not less than 50% of such
Fiscal Year's Tax Zone I Special Tax Requirement; and
C. Special Tax Revenue Test — Developed Propertv Plus Final
Mapped Property. The aggregate Special Taxes received from
Taxable Property in CFD No. 1-2021 from the levy of such Fiscal
Year's Special Tax (as opposed to receipts from prior Fiscal Years
and penalties and interest) on TMK Parcels in Tax Zone I that
were classified as Developed Property or as Final Mapped
Property for such Fiscal Year were not less than 75% of such
Fiscal Year's Tax Zone I Special Tax Requirement; and
d. Special Tax Revenue Test — Developed Property Plus Final
Mapped Property Plus Undeveloped Property. The aggregate
Special Taxes received from Taxable Property in CFD No. 1-2021
from the levy of such Fiscal Year's Special Tax (as opposed to
receipts from prior Fiscal Years and penalties and interest) on
TMK Parcels in Tax Zone I that were classified as Developed
Property, as Final Mapped Property, or as Undeveloped Property
for such Fiscal Year were not less than 100% of such Fiscal Year's
Tax Zone I Special Tax Requirement; and
e. Value Test. The "value of real property," as defined in Section
32-57(c) of the Code, of the Taxable Property in Tax Zone I is at
least three times the principal amount of Bonds then outstanding;
and
Hawaii County CFD No. 1-2021 20 June 23, 2021
E Value Test — Undeveloped Property. The aggregate Land Value
of the non -delinquent TMK Parcels in Tax Zone I that were
classified as Undeveloped Property for such Fiscal Year is not less
than three times the product of the principal amount of Outstanding
Bonds multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
aggregate Special Taxes received from Taxable Property in CFD
No. 1-2021 from the levy of such Fiscal Year's Special Tax (as
opposed to receipts from prior Fiscal Years and penalties and
interest) on TMK Parcels in Tax Zone I that were classified as
Undeveloped Property for such Fiscal Year, and the denominator
of which is such Fiscal Year's Tax Zone I Special Tax
Requirement.
The satisfaction of the conditions listed above in the CFD Administrator's written
notification to the County Council would, for purposes of Section 32-56 of the
Code, be deemed a prepayment and permanent satisfaction of the obligation to
pay the Special Tax applicable to the TMK Parcels in Tax Zone 2. Accordingly,
the County Council shall promptly cause to be prepared and filed with the Bureau
of Conveyances and/or Land Court a notice of cancellation of Special Tax for all
TMK Parcels in Tax Zone 2, all as provided for in said Section 32-56 of the Code.

AMENDMENT TO DEPOSIT AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENJ
415903.6
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
DEPOSIT AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this
--M0- k-1 .1 2019, by and between the County of Hawai', a
municipal corporation of the State of Hawaii, by and through its Finance Department

RCFC Kaloko Heights, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, whose mailing
address is 555 California Street, Suite 3450, San Francisco, California, 94101 (the
"Proponent"), which owns the property within the boundaries of a proposed improvement
district.
RECITALS
A. The Proponent owns the real property that is included within the proposed
boundaries of a proposed improvement district (the "Proposed District") for the
development known as "Kaloko Heights" (the "Development Project"). The
Proposed District is proposed to be established pursuant to the provisions of
Chapter 12 of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as Amended) (such
chapter and code being referred to herein as "Chapter 12" and the "Code,"
respectively) for financing the acquisition, construction and installation of

which the Proponent is required to provide in connection with the Development
Project.
B. The County and the Proponent have entered into a Memorandum of Agreement
dated January 15, 2019 (MOA) pursuant to which the parties have agreed to meet
certain target dates for the establishment of the Project District for the
Development Project together with related goals, pursuant to which the parties
contemplated the County's hiring of consultants to facilitate the completion of the
Proposed District.
C. To facilitate the expeditious implementation of the MOA, the Proponent has
agreed to advance funds to allow the County to pay all costs and expenses of the
County related to proceedings heretofore and hereafter conducted for the
establishment of the Proposed District and the issuance of improvement bonds for
the Proposed District pursuant to Chapter 12 (the "Proposed Bonds").
D, The parties hereto wish to enter into an agreement to define the terms and
conditions under which the funds will be advanced and subsequently reimbursed,
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, the parties hereto do
hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Proponent's Deposit; Use of Deposited Funds.
(a) The Proponent agrees to deposit initially the sum of $75,000 (together
with additional deposits here -under, the "Deposit") with the County to pay one hundred
percent (100%) of the reasonable costs and expenses of the County relating to the
proceedings for the formation of the Proposed District and the issuance of the Proposed
Bonds (collectively, the "County Costs"), including without limitation: (i) the fees and
expenses of the County's financial advisor, appraiser, legal counsel (including bond
counsel and special tax counsel, if applicable), consulting engineers and other
professional consultants and advisors (individually a "Consultant" and collectively the
"Consultants"); (ii) publication costs and other out-of-pocket expenses; (iii) a reasonable
charge (if applicable) for County staff time and administrative costs expended by, the
County and attributable to facilitating the expeditious formation of the Proposed District
and the issuance of the Proposed Bonds.
(b) The County may draw upon the Deposit to pay the County Costs from
time to time. The County shall not be obligated to advance any of its funds for purposes
of forming the Proposed District or the RKMI f r6 sale of the Proposed Bonds,
(c) In the event that the balance of the Deposit falls below $20,000, or is
otherwise insufficient to pay any County Costs due or coming due, the Proponent shall
deposit additional monies with the County in the amount necessary to restore the balance
of the Deposit to $75,000 and/or pay the County Costs due or coming due. The
Proponent shall deposit such additional monies within ten (10) calendar days of the
receipt of written notification from the County of the need for such additional funds.
Without limiting any other right of the County to discontinue proceedings relating to the
Proposed District or the Proposed Bonds, it is expressly understood and agreed that the
County shall have the right to suspend or terminate all proceedings for the establishment
of the Proposed District and/or the issuance of the Proposed Bonds in the event that the
Proponent fails to deposit such additional monies with the County within said ten (10)
calendar days.
(d) The County shall provide monthly statements to the Proponent showing
the amount disbursed from the Deposit and the remaining balance thereof. The monthly
statements shall include the recipients of the funds disbursed, the amounts paid to each
recipient and include the nature of the work performed. the County agrees to keep such
records as are reasonably necessary to show the amount of monies disbursed for payment
of County Costs, including summaries of County staff and administrative costs paid from
the Deposit funds, if any. The County shall make such records available to the Proponent
upon request.
Deposit and Reimbursement Agreement Page 2 of 6
Section 2. Consultants, Compensation, and Metliocl of Payment. The
County shall retain the Consultants upon such terms as it deems appropriate in its sole
discretion. The County shall have the sole discretion to select the persons or firms to be
retained as Consultants, and to evaluate their performance and the reasonableness of their
compensation. Compensation shall be paid to each Consultant for work performed as
specified in their respective contracts with the County. Upoii request, the County shall
provide the Proponent with a summary of fees paid to the Consultants on a bi-monthly
basis, together with copies of the invoices for which consultant payments have been
made.
Section 3. Reimbursement to Proponent. If the Proposed District is
established and the Proposed Bonds are issued, the Proponent shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for Deposit, without interest, from the proceeds of the Proposed Bonds. In
the event that the net proceeds of the Proposed Bonds, after deducting the costs of
issuance from the proceeds received by the County, are insufficient to fully fund both (i)
reimbursement of the Deposit and (ii) financing of the Special Improvements, the
Proponent shall advise the County in writing whether it wishes to receive reimbursement
of the Deposit or to waive its entitlement to such reimbursement. In the event that the
Proposed Bonds are issued in multiple series, waiver of reimbursement with respect to a
given series shall not constitute a waiver of reimbursement from the proceeds of any
subsequent series. If the proceedings are abandoned for any reason prior to the sale�and
issuance of the Proposed Bonds, the obligation of the County to reimburse the Proponent
for the Deposit or any portion thereof shall be strictly limited to that portion of the
Deposit not yet expended-," and the prckMVbl Ribsection (c) of Section 5 hereof shall
govern the application of such unexpended portion of the Deposit.
Section 4. Ownership of Documents. All plans, specifications, reports,
appraisals and other documentation prepared as part of the proceedings to establish the
Proposed District and to sell and issue the Proposed Bonds shall become the property of
the County, regardless of whether the Proposed District is formed and/or the Proposed

the information contained in such documents.
I Section S. No Obligation_ to form an Improvement... District;
Abandonment of Proceedings..
(a) The County expressly reserves the right to abandon the proceedings for
the establishment of the Proposed District and/or issuance of the Proposed Bonds for any
reason at any time prior to the completion thereof. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Proponent expressly acknowledges that the decision of the County to form
an improvement district and/or to issue improvement bonds under Chapter 12 is an
exercise of the legislative authority of the Council of the County, and that the County
may not enter into a contract or obligate the Council to exercise its legislative discretion
in a particular manner. This Agreement does not, therefore, in any way create a
contractual, legal or equitable obligation of or commitment by the County to approve the
formation of the Proposed District or to sell the Proposed Bonds to finance the Project.
Deposit and Reimbursement Agreement Page 3 of 6
(b) Should the Proponent elect to abandon the proceedings, the Proponent
shall provide written notification of such election to the County and request the County to
terminate all consulting agreements and use reasonable efforts to minimize any and all
additional County Costs.
(c) . If proceedings to form the Proposed District and/or issue the Proposed
Bonds are not completed and are abandoned for any reason at any time, there will be no
obligation on the part of the County to reimburse the Proponent for any monies
previously advanced pursuant to this Agreement. In such event, the County, however,
agrees to return to the Proponent such portion of the remaining balance of the Deposit,
without interest, as the County determines to be in excess of the amount necessary to pay
any outstanding County Costs which the County is obligated to pay, which determination
shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable. If, for any reason, the remaining balance
of the Deposit is not sufficient to pay all outstanding County Costs, the Proponent shall
deposit such additional amounts as are required to pay all such County Costs.
