We are the owners of the "Subject Property" identified below, which is located in County of Hawaii Improvement District No. 17, I~aloko Subdivision (the "Improvement District"), or if not the owners, are lessees of the Subject Property who by the express. terms of our lease must pay special assessments required in connection with the County's 1991 issue of special assessment bonds for the Improvement District (the "1991 Bonds"). 2. We have reviewed the Petition dated September 6, 2001 (the "Petition") filed by TSA Corporation and MID Corporation (the "Petitioners") with the County Council of the County of Hawaii, requesting that the County proceed with a proposed refunding plan for all outstanding 1991 Bonds of the Improvement District (the '°Refunding Plan"). We have also reviewed the Report of the Chief Engineer of the County dated October 15, 2001 (the "Chief Engineer's Report"),filed with the County Council with respect to the Refunding Plan. As set forth in the Petition and the Chief Engineer's Report, we understand that, under the proposed Refunding Plan: a. All outstanding 1991 B onds are to be refunded by call for optional redemption on the next available redemption date (which is February 1, 2002) out of the proceeds of a new series of special assessment refunding bonds to be issued by the County for the Improvement District, together with available funds of the Improvement District currently held for payment of the 1991 Bonds. b: The proposed refunding is expected to result in reductions of the principal and/or interest payments associated with the 1991 Bonds. Such reductions will be applied on a pro rata basis to properties within the Improvement District, including the Subject Property, which have outstanding special assessments. c. MID Corporation has proposed a reallocation of the assessments on the parcels which it owns within the Improvement District. This reallocation will not affect MID Corporation's total assessment obligations (totaling $8,368,275.28 as of October 12, 2001). Consequently, the proposed reallocation will Wort affect the current assessments on any other properti es within the Improvement District, including the Subj ect Property, or the pro rata reduction of the assessments on these properties as a result of the proposed refunding of the 1991 Bonds. 3. Pursuant to Chapter 12, Article 5, specifically Section 12-63, of the Hawaii County Code, we hereby: (a) join with Petitioners in the filing and acknowledgment of the Petition; (b) consent to the amount and apportionment of the proposed assessments under the Refunding Plan; and (c) waive any and all rights to notice and/or hearing with respect to the Refunding Plan under Section 12, Article 5 of the Hawaii County Code.
