This Purchase Agreement and Escrow Instructions (“Agreement”) dated January 28, 2026 (the “Effective Date”) is between MAUI LAND & PINEAPPLE COMPANY, INC., a Delaware corporation, as “Seller”, and RACE ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as “Buyer”.
22. PURCHASE OF PROPERTY. Pursuant to the terms hereof, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to sell to ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to purchase from Seller, the Property (as described in paragraph 2.1), in consideration for the payment of the Purchase Price (as described in paragraph 2.4), together with the respective promises of the parties set forth in this Agreement.
23. BASIC TERMS.
23.1 PROPERTY. “Property” shall mean a spatial condominium unit to be created by Seller consisting of approximately 30 acres of land within Lot 5 of the Maui Preparatory Academy Subdivision (DSA File No. 4.895, Tax Map Key No. (2) 4-3-1-89) (“Lot 5”). The proposed location and boundaries of the Property are shown on the conceptual plan attached as Exhibit A attached hereto.
23.2 BUYER. “Buyer” shall mean RACE ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
23.3 SELLER. “Seller” shall mean MAUI LAND & PINEAPPLE COMPANY, INC., a Delaware corporation.
23.4 PURCHASE PRICE. “Purchase Price” shall mean the sum of ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,200,000.00). Seller’s obligations under this Agreement shall be contingent on receipt and approval by Seller’s Board of Directors of an apprisal of the Property from an independent licensed Hawaii third-party appraiser that confirms the Purchase Price is equal to or exceeds the current fair market value for the Property as of the Effective Date. Subject to Board approval, the July 2025 appraisal may be used to satisfy this requirement. The cost of the appraisal shall be shared equally by the parties.
23.5 TERMS OF PURCHASE.
(a) The Deposit. Buyer shall make a deposit of $50,000.00 (“Initial Deposit”) to Escrow Holder within two (2) business days after the Effective Date. Within two (2) business days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Holder an additional deposit of $50,000.00 (“Second Deposit”) (the Initial Deposit and the Second Deposit are collectively called the “Deposit”). Upon ▇▇▇▇▇’s request and at ▇▇▇▇▇’s expense, the Escrow Holder shall invest the Deposit in an insured deposit account, money market fund or other form of investment approved by Buyer. Interest accrued on the Deposit shall be applied in the same manner as the Deposit. Upon the close of Escrow for this transaction (“Closing”), the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall be applied towards the Purchase Price. Except as otherwise provided Section 3, if Buyer elects to proceed with the purchase of the Property at the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the entire Deposit shall be non-refundable, whether or not this transaction Closes. If Buyer elects not to proceed with the purchase of the Property at the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, or if this Agreement terminates due to exercise of a termination right set forth herein, or terminates as a result of the failure of a condition precedent to Closing as set forth herein (unless such failure occurs as a result of a default of Buyer), the Deposit, including all interest accrued thereon, shall be refunded to Buyer.
(b) Cash at Closing. The Purchase Price (less the Deposit and any interest accrued thereon,), plus Buyer’s share of closing costs, prorations, and fees and charges payable pursuant to this Agreement, shall be delivered to Escrow Holder as provided in paragraph 6.3. At Closing, and subject to approval of Seller’s legal counsel and Compensation Committee, ▇▇▇▇▇ may elect to relinquish and surrender to Seller any award of stock in Seller that Buyer is fully vested in as of Closing, in which case the cash due at Closing shall be reduced by the value of the surrendered stock awards at that time, net of tax payable in connection with the surrender, provided that the cash due from Buyer shall not in any case be reduced to an amount less than $0.
(c) Post-Closing Value True-Up. Buyer and Seller shall have the Property appraised as of the 5th anniversary of the Closing Date by an independant licensed Hawaii appraiser mutually acceptable to both parties. The cost of the appraisal shall be shared equally. Such appraisal shall value the land only at its highest-and-best use, and shall specifically exclude Buyer’s Improvements. If the value determined by such appraisal exceeds the Purchase Price, then Buyer shall pay to Seller the difference between the Purchase Price and such appraised value, provided that regardless of the appraised value the additional payment shall not exceed $600,000. Such payment shall be considered to be part of the Purchase Price, shall be payable to Seller within 90 days of completion of the appraisal. If at the 5th anniversary of the Closing Date Buyer remains Chief Executive Officer of Seller, then at ▇▇▇▇▇’s election Buyer may pay the amount due in installments of $100,000, without interest, commencing on that date and continuing on each anniversary of that date until the amount is paid in full. Until the amount due under this section is determined, Buyer shall maintain ownership of stock in Seller or vested stock awards in Seller, with a market value of $600,000, which may be applied to pay the amount due in case of Buyer’s failure to make such payment. No payment shall be required under this Section is Seller exercises the buy-back right on the 5th anniversary of Closing that is set forth in Section 3.4 below. This Section shall survive Closing.
23.6 EFFECTIVE DATE. The effective date (“Effective Date”) of this Agreement shall be the date Seller and Buyer execute this Agreement.
23.7 DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD. The “Due Diligence Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time on the date that is ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, for Buyer to determine whether Buyer may feasibly acquire and develop the Property as provided in paragraph 3.2.
23.8 ESCROW. The “Escrow” shall mean an escrow account established at the Escrow Holder which shall be opened as provided in paragraph 8.2.
23.9 ESCROW HOLDER. The “Escrow Holder” shall mean Title Guaranty Escrow Services, Inc., attention ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.
23.10 TITLE COMPANY. The “Title Company” shall mean Title Guaranty of Hawaii, Inc.
23.11 TITLE POLICY. The “Title Policy” shall mean a Hawaii Standard Form Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance with those endorsements accepted by the Title Company prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period with no exceptions or exclusions to coverage except for the reservations, covenants and exceptions as set forth in this Agreement and except for the Condominium Documents (defined below) and those set forth in schedule B (excluding, however, those Disapproved Exceptions Seller has agreed to cure pursuant to paragraph 3.1(b) below) on the Title Commitment (as hereinafter defined) and matters shown on the Survey, unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer (“Permitted Exceptions”).
23.12 BROKERS. Buyer warrants and represents to Seller that Buyer is not and has not been represented by any agent or broker in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and that no commissions, finders fees or other like compensation to third parties will be payable by Seller in connection with this transaction as a result of ▇▇▇▇▇’s actions.
23.13 SHARED APPRECIATION. If Buyer sells the Property on or before the 10th anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall at the close of the sale pay to Seller out of escrow an amount determined as subtracting Buyer’s Costs from the Net Sales Price, and then multiplying the result by the Applicable Shared Appreciation Percentage. As used in this Section, “Net Sales Price” means the gross purchase price for the resale of the Property less reasonable and customary closing costs and commissions paid to third-party brokers (but excluding payoffs of mortgages or other monetary liens), all as shown on Buyer’s final escrow settlement statement, and “Buyer’s Costs” mean the Purchase Price (including any post-Closing payment under Section 2.5(c)) plus all reasonably documented financial costs paid or incurred by Buyer to improve the Property and to design, permit and build Buyer’s Improvements (but excluding financing and mortgage interest costs) (the “Development Costs”). For purposes of this Section, the Applicable Shared Appreciation Percentage shall mean 100% for the period from the Closing Date to the 1st anniversary of the Closing Date, 90% for the period from the 1st to the 2nd anniversary, and then continuing to reduce by 10% at each anniversary until the Applicable Shared Appreciation Percentage reaches zero on the 10th anniversary of Closing. If the sale occurs before the post-Closing payment under Section 2.5(c) is due, then “Buyer’s Costs” shall also include the amount of $600,000, which escrow shall pay to Seller at the closing in lieu of payment under Section 2.5(c). Buyer shall on request provide Seller with such documentation as Seller may reasonably request in order to calculate the amount payable under this Section. This Section shall survive Closing.
23.14 10-YEAR OWNER OCCPANCY REQUIREMENT. As an essential inducement to Seller to enter in to this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇ shall reside at the Property as ▇▇▇▇▇’s principal residence for, at a minimum, the period commencing on Buyer’s completion of Buyer’s Improvements (as defined below) and ending on the 10th anniversary of Closing. If Buyer does not comply with this requirement, Seller shall have the option to repurchase the Property from Buyer for the Purchase Price plus the Development Costs. Seller may exercise this option by written notice to Buyer, which shall set a date within 45 and 60 days of the notice on which Buyer shall reconvey the Property (the “Repurchase Closing”). Such reconveyance must be free and clear of any mortgages or other liens made or suffered by ▇▇▇▇▇, and at the Repurchase Closing Buyer shall cause the Title Company to issue Seller an owner’s policy of title insurance insuring such title. Buyer shall deliver possession of the Property to Seller at the Repurchase Closing free and clear of any tenants or other occupants and any personal property, in good order and conditions. In addition to its repurchase option, Seller may also elect to require Buyer to pay to Seller any rents Buyer receives for any periods in which ▇▇▇▇▇ does not reside in the Property as a principal residence. This Section shall survive Closing.
24. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO BUYER’S PERFORMANCE. Subject to the notice and cure rights set forth in paragraph 7.2 below, ▇▇▇▇▇’s obligation to purchase the Property is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions set forth in this paragraph 3 below (which are for Buyer’s benefit) within the time periods specified.
24.1 TITLE CONDITION.
(a) Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has delivered to Buyer a current preliminary report for the existing parcel of land that contains the Property (the “Preliminary Report”). Seller has no obligation to provide a Survey of the Property. No later than ten (10) days before the last day of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may disapprove of any of the matters reflected in the Preliminary Report by delivering written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder (the “Notice of Defect”) specifying each matter shown in the Title Commitment or Survey which is disapproved by Buyer (each a “Disapproved Exception”) and stating the reasons for each disapproval. Seller’s failure to receive the Notice of Defect within the Due Diligence Period shall be conclusively deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval of the Preliminary Report and satisfaction of the title condition under this paragraph 3.1.
(b) Within five (5) days after receiving the Notice of Defect, Seller shall deliver to Buyer and Escrow Holder notice as to whether Seller elects, in its sole discretion, to cure or not cure each of the Disapproved Exception(s). Buyer’s failure to receive any notice from Seller within that 5‑day period shall be deemed to be notice to Buyer that Seller elected not to cure the Disapproved Exception(s). If Seller elects not to cure one or more Disapproved Exception(s), Buyer may terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. If Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement, Buyer will be deemed to have waived its disapproval of such Disapproved Exception(s) Seller has elected not to cure and Buyer shall have agreed to acquire title to the Property subject to such Disapproved Exception(s).
(c) If Buyer properly terminates this Agreement as provided in this paragraph 3.1, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer as provided in paragraph 7.3.
(d) A Disapproved Exception shall be considered to have been cured by Seller if the Title Company agrees to issue the Title Policy (including any applicable endorsement approved by Buyer in its reasonable discretion) to Buyer either without that Disapproved Exception being reflected as an exception to coverage under the Title Policy or noting such exception and providing an endorsement insuring over such noted exception. The cost of such endorsement shall be borne by Buyer.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated to discharge any mortgages or notes secured by deeds of trust, and other monetary liens affecting the Property (other than governmental liens such as taxes and assessments not yet due) which are not the result of Buyer’s conduct or actions.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that the Limited Warranty Unit Deed from Seller to Buyer shall be subject to the Condominium Documents described below and any other reserved easements and rights set forth in this Agreement.
24.2 FEASIBILITY CONDITION & APPROVAL OF CONDOMINIUM DOCUMENTS.
(a) Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the documents in Seller’s possession that are relevant to Buyer’s proposed ownership, use or development of the Property.
(b) Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. Hawaiian time on the last day of the Due Diligence Period to confirm, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion and ▇▇▇▇▇’s sole expense, whether Buyer may feasibly acquire and use the Property for Buyer’s intended purpose. During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have reviewed (or shall have had the opportunity to review) among other things: (i) the geological, soils and seismic conditions of the Property; (ii) all conditions and requirements imposed by governmental bodies having jurisdiction over the Property; and (iii) the viability of the Property for Buyer’s intended development or use. During the Due Diligence Period Seller shall provide Buyer with the form of a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants pursuant to which Seller shall reserve rights of architectural review and approval of future improvements to the Property and approval of crops to be grown on the Property (the “CC&Rs”)
(c) If before the end of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines to purchase the Property, Buyer shall notify Seller and Escrow Holder in writing (the “Acceptance Notice”). If Seller and Escrow Holder have not received an Acceptance Notice from Buyer before the end of the Due Diligence Period, Escrow shall terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer as provided in paragraph 7.3, irrespective of any instruction or other communication, oral or written, from Seller. If Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ receive an Acceptance Notice before the end of the Due Diligence Period, this feasibility condition shall be conclusively deemed satisfied in all respects including Buyer’s approval of each of the items set out in paragraph 3.2(b), Buyer shall be obligated to make the Second Deposit, and the Deposit shall become non-refundable except as provided in paragraph 5.4, 6.1(a), or 12 hereunder, in the event of a Default by Seller, or any failure of a condition precedent to ▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations hereunder.
24.3 CREATION AND REGISTRATION OF THE CONDOMINIUM. Promptly after the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall at Buyer’s expense cause a licensed surveyor to survey the proposed boundaries of the Property, in coordination with Seller. The surveyed boundaries may deviate from the conceptual plan attached as Exhibit A to the extent reasonably necessary to reflect conditions on the ground discovered following Buyer’s initial clearing activities, provided that such deviations may not materially increase the total acreage of the Property or materially impair the remainder of Lot 5. Buyer’s survey shall be subject to Seller’s approval. Upon approval of Buyer’s survey Seller shall at its expense cause (a) a licensed surveyor to prepare a condominium map for the creation of the Property as a separate condominium unit within Lot 5, and (b) prepare the Declaration of Condominium Property Regime and Condominium Association Bylaws for the proposed condominium (collectively, the “Condominium Documents”) that Seller will record prior to or at Closing to create a condominium property regime pursuant to the Hawaii Condominium Property Act, Chapter 514B Hawaii Revised Statutes (the “Condominium”) in which the Property is a separate spatial condominium unit. The Condominium Documents shall include, among other things:
24.3.1 reserved rights and powers that Seller deems necessary to ensure its ability to unilaterally use, entitle, develop and or sell the remainder of Lot 5;
24.3.2 the right (but not the obligation) of Seller to subdivide the Property from the remainder of Lot 5 as a separate lot (the “Subdivision”). Seller shall bear the costs of the Subdivision, provided that Buyer shall bear the costs of any required improvements or other actions that primarily benefit the Property. In case Seller initiates a Subdivision, Buyer shall cooperate reasonably in the processing of the Subdivision and shall, upon final approval of the subdivision, cooperate in the termination of the Condominium and such conveyances as are necessary to vest Buyer and Seller with fee title to their resulting Lots, free and clear of any mortgages or other monetary liens incurred by the other. This means, among other things, that if ▇▇▇▇▇ has a mortgage loan Buyer must at its expense secure it’s lender’s agreement to modify the mortgage to reflect the conversion of the Property from a condominium unit to a lot. In any such subdivision, the Property shall be allocated its existing water meter(s), if any, and all available future subdivision potential shall be reserved to the remainder of Lot 5.
This transaction shall be subject to the parties’ mutual approval of the Condominium Documents no later than 30 days after Seller’s delivery of them. If the parties are unable to agree either may terminate this Agreement without liability, in which case the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer. Upon mutual approval of the Condominium Document Seller shall promptly proceed to record the Condominium Documents, and register the Condominium with the Real Estate Commission of the State of Hawaii, and secure an effective date for a Developer’s Public Report for the Condominium Project (“DPR”). Upon issuance of the effective date for the DPR, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall execute such documentation as Seller reasonably requires to confirm ▇▇▇▇▇’s affirmation of this Agreement and Buyer’s waiver of any cancellation rights.
24.4 BUYER’S DESIGN, PERMITTING AND FINANCING; SELLER BUY-BACK RIGHT. Promptly following ▇▇▇▇▇’s issuance of its Acceptance Notice, Buyer shall commence and diligently pursue the design, permitting and mortgage financing of Buyer’s planned improvements at the Property (“Buyer’s Improvements”). Buyer’s obligation to close its purchase is contingent on (a) satisfaction of all conditions to the County’s of Maui’s issuance of the permits and approvals required for vertical construction of Buyer’s Improvements other than payment of permit fees, such that the County will issue such permits and approvals upon payment of those fees (“Permit Approval”), and (b) Buyer’s receipt of final loan approval form a lender of Buyer’s choice for the financing of construction of Buyer’s Improvements no later than 120 days after Permit Approval. The “Closing Date” shall be a mutually agreeable date no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which both of these contingencies have been satisfied. Buyer shall keep Seller apprised of ▇▇▇▇▇’s progress in satisfying these conditions. If these conditions have not been satisfied within 36 months after ▇▇▇▇▇’s Acceptance Notice, Buyer or Seller may terminate this Agreement without liability, and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. If this transaction does not close for this or any other reason, upon Seller’s request Buyer shall cooperate to transfer to Seller all of Buyer’s rights in and to its designs, plans, contracts, permits and approvals for Buyer’s Improvements.
It shall be Buyer’s responsibility to obtain and pay for any lines, meters and/or the utility providers’ agreement to provide utility service to the Property and Buyer’s Improvements. It is understood that Seller shall not be obligated to pay for any costs associated with any meters, service connections, additional lines or the placing of electrical or telephone lines underground. It is ▇▇▇▇▇’s responsibility to ascertain the availability of, and ▇▇▇▇▇ assumes all risk with respect to the availability or non-availability of, water and utility service for the Property. It is ▇▇▇▇▇’s responsibility to pay all other costs of development of Buyer’s Improvements that are not expressly the responsibility of the Seller under the Agreement, including but not limited to offsite utility costs and road improvement costs and requirements.
If Buyer does not complete vertical construction of Buyer’s Improvements in accordance with the plans approved by the County of Maui prior to Closing by the 5th anniversary of Closing, Seller may elect to repurchase the Property from Buyer in its then-exiting condition for the Purchase Price. In order to exercise this right Seller must give Buyer written notice within 90 days after the 5th anniversary of Closing. In that case, Buyer and Seller shall close the repurchase of the Property within forty-five days after such notice through Escrow Holder. Seller shall pay Buyer the purchase price in cash at such closing, and Buyer shall convey the Property to Seller by limited warranty unit deed conveying fee simple title subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and free and clear of any mortgages or other monetary liens made or suffered by Buyer. At such closing Buyer shall assign to Seller all of Buyer’s rights in and to its designs, plans, contracts, permits and approvals for Buyer’s Improvements. Closing costs and prorations for such closing shall be as set forth in this Agreement. This Paragraph shall survive Closing.
24.5 ISSUANCE OF TITLE POLICY. The Title Company shall be irrevocably and unconditionally prepared to issue the Title Policy to Buyer as of Closing insuring fee simple title to the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

25. OPERATION OF PROPERTY AFTER DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD AND PRIOR TO CLOSING. Seller does not currently maintain the Property and shall have no ongoing obligation to maintain or improve the Property. Seller shall not encumber the Property after the Due Diligence Period except as provided herein or in the Condominium Documents without Buyer’s written consent, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s reasonable discretion.
26. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO SELLER’S PERFORMANCE. Subject to the notice and cure provisions set forth in paragraph 7.2 below, Seller’s obligation to sell the Property is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of all conditions set forth below (which are for Seller’s benefit) within the time periods specified.
26.1 PERFORMANCE OF COVENANTS. Buyer shall have complied in all material respects with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
