IInieas othexxisa defined, ail capitalized terms shall have the meaning given to them in the reievant documents. z. I+E~II• 1. r.imitetion of liabf 1ity. Article IX Limitations o! Liability of County of Hawaii references specific lease aections to which the limitation o! liability applies. It is my understanding that the concept oI limiting the County's liability is to apply generally to the lease provisions. For example, the indemnity provisions vi sections 5.01(a), 5.05, \ 5.10, 5.11, 5.17(a), 5.23(4), 5.27, 5.29, 10.03, ari4 11.04, should be limited ns provided in articles 27t or should not be a reed b th at 11. The nature o! the spev~I` ands may need to be expanded to include such coverage. 08/29/97 13:95 TX/RX N0.5271 P.002 „ . _ - - 08.'29.'97 13:31 ATTOR/JEY I.~NERAL-i~GL1LATORY DIV. H03 William W.L.

Section 2.01 on i~\' paga 8 datinaa ^Papaya Product^ and ^Percentage Rent.^ v~ Percentage Rant is based an the amount of Pnpnya Product sold and delivered to a handler or packinghouse. Howaver• Papaya Product is dalined as all irult harvested, prior to culling and processing, ragardleas of the use or Bale of each product. Thera may be a ditterenae between trait harvested and lruit sold and Aeiivered to s handler or packinghouse. xt ie our understanding that the manner in which the draft lease provides Percentage Rent is calculated is the intended manner. Ws note this iasua simply to clarify the ieaus. 3. Waste Land. Section 2.01 on page 9 defines ^Waats Land." Please clarity what ^lava land^ is with respect to excluding it from Waste Land as defined on paga 9. Is it auitabla and feasible to grow papaya on ^lava land.„ Zt not• then such land should be included as Waste Land. 4. Determination or Nat Araa: section 3.0+. The floor of 573 acres o! Nat Area is Ot concern t0 the Department o! Agriculture (^DOA^). At this point in time, it is simply not }mown what the arable acreages will ba and that acreage is not necessarily within the partiaa• control. 5. Maximum Building Arenr 4.o77a]. The aggregate area figure o! one-half acre is relatively conservative according to the DoA•s estimates. tae would suggest a figure o! three-quarters of an acre. 6. Laesee•e Reiaase~ 5.01[b] and 5.14_i~i. Please olarify whether the proposed releaas languages is intended to cover the preasnes er release of any Hnzardoue Materials occurring prior to the Tarm of the Lease (see 3.oi(b)(i) or not (sea 5.o1(b)(iii)). Release should not cover events occurring prior to the term of the lease. Zn general, rxleaass should not extend beyond the amount o! the tunda eatabliahed in the Permit. 7. Ernironmental Screening Surveys 5.01[x]. Please oontirm that the lessor will be the party paying for the ~ saxxllne Aaaaaamant. 8. Conye^ance Taxs '3.03tb1.

The reference t0 papaya trees which have horns fruit through two (2) or more crop rotations ehould be alarifiad. Aaoordirig to the DOA, a papaya tree continuously bears trait, n.g., it may have a ^arop^ one weak and another ^crop^ a weak later. So reference to two crop rotations couid moan a relatively young tres. The DOA would suggest referring to papaya trees which have borne fruit through two (2) or mots years. li. Comnlinnoe with Haaar~ous Materials Laws: 5.20[c). If the cost o! the environmental engineer or consultant is to ba borne by the County, then the selection o! the engineer or consultant should ba made by the County; however. it should be noted that this may involve compliance with procurement raquiremsnts. 21. Mediation/Arbitration. Any provision !or mediation and arbitration cannot ba passed on tea State agencies. 17, tandtilisr S_31. According to the DOA, the general practice in disposing oY infected plants is to cut the papaya tree down to a stump, ahemieally treat the stump, and chop up and spread the remainder o! the plant. Ones the tree is out, the virus is contained as long as the stump is treated ao that no regrowth cnn occur of the infected punt. The chopped up plants do not present any risx o! further disease spread. This provision should include this general practice as a permitted activity. 14. M~taoa of Tarminntion tbV Lessee): 5.32tb). The provision o! 18o days !or the lessee to give notice o! tormination to the iaseor is too long in the case o! an unoontrollabla infestation of the disease. Wa would suggest a period of sixty (60) days instead. 16. u~,,,_p„bs_titLtions 3.32te). Tha DOA Objects t0 this provisien as an unreasonable restriction. 16. As}•~cnment: !s.±s. The revisions to this provisien era acceptable. 17. Fair Market Va~L+e of the Premises: 7.04fa). Any agreement as tv the fair market value of the premises is premature and inappropriate at this time. 08/29/97 13:45 TX/RX N0.5271 P.004 0®i39,~97 13:3?
