Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Port Ludlow Sale
On August 7, 2001, Pope Resources sold its 1,300 acre Port Ludlow, Washington resort and real estate development assets to Port Ludlow Associates LLC, a new ownership entity formed by HCV Pacific Partners LLC. The resort assets include the 37-room Heron Beach Inn, a 300-slip saltwater marina, a 27-hole championship golf course, conference center, commercial center, RV park, a restaurant/lounge and related facilities, and water and sewer utilities serving the area. The real estate development assets include approximately 100 developed lots and raw land for the development of 450 additional residential lots that will complete the build-out of this master planned resort community.
The sales price for the property was approximately $16.7 million, of which approximately two-thirds was in cash and one-third in the form of a three-year note. Cash proceeds will be used to pay down debt associated with the Partnership's recent timberland acquisition in southwest Washington. The purchase price of the property sold was determined using discounted cash flows.
The note accrues interest at 10% per year and is secured by a deed of trust on the developed and undeveloped lots included in the sale. Partial payment of the note is due as the buyer sells each lot, and payment in full is due on August 8, 2004. Pope also agreed to subordinate its security interest to the construction lender for the improvements on each undeveloped lot, under certain specified conditions.

The Real Property and Personal Property, comprising all of the items described in Sections 1.1 through 1.7 above, are herein collectively referred to as the "Property."
2.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property (the "Purchase Price") shall be Twenty-three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$23,500,000.00) subject to adjustments as provided for under Section 2.2 below and subject to an allocation of a portion of the Purchase Price to the stock of Olympic Water and Sewer, Inc.

The Purchase Price shall be paid by Buyer in immediately available United States funds pursuant to Seller's instructions on the Closing Date.
2.2 Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price has been determined as of September 1, 2000. Therefore, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted on the Closing Date for Seller's capital expenditures relating to the Property, closed sales of MPR Platted Lots between September 1, 2000, and the Closing Date, and Inventory increases and reductions between September 1, 2000, and the Closing Date, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and practices as in effect from time to time and applied consistently throughout the periods involved. The sum of Eight Million Seven Hundred Twenty-four Dollars (US$8,724,000.00) shall be the value allocated to Seller "s work in progress as of September 1, 2000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted under this section by more than Three Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$300,000.00) without the prior written consent of Buyer and Seller.
2.3 Escrow Officer.

Upon mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement, Escrow Officer shall open a closing escrow in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
2.4 Earnest Money. Within one (1) business day following mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Officer the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$100,000) in cash as the earnest money deposit (such sum, together with interest earned thereon, the "Earnest Money"). In addition, within one (1) business day after the condition set forth in Section 5.2 has been satisfied or waived and the condition of title and survey matters (including Exceptions, as defined in Section 3.1) has been approved or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.1 (whichever is later), Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Officer the additional sum of Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($900,000), which sum shall be deemed part of the Earnest Money. Upon closing of this transaction, the Earnest Money shall be credited against the Purchase Price. In the event this transaction fails to close as a result of Seller's default, the failure of any condition precedent to
3
Buyer's obligations, or any reason other than Buyer's default, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer. In the event Buyer fails, without legal excuse, to complete the purchase of the Property, the Earnest Money shall be forfeited by Escrow Officer to Seller as the sole and exclusive remedy available to Seller for such failure. Escrow Agent shall deposit the Earnest Money in an interest bearing account at a financial institution designated by Seller, subject to Buyer's approval, which shall not unreasonably be withheld.
ARTICLE III. CONDITION AND CONVEYANCE OF TITLE
3.1 Preliminary Commitment. Within ten (10) days after mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with a preliminary commitment to issue an ALTA Extended Owner's Policy of title insurance insuring Buyer's interest in the Real Property (the "Preliminary Commitment"), together with complete and legible copies of all exceptions and encumbrances noted thereon. The Preliminary Commitment shall be issued by Transnation Title Insurance Company or its local affiliates in Jefferson County, Washington, and Pierce County, Washington ("Title Company"). The Preliminary Commitment may be to issue an ALTA Standard Owner's Policy of title insurance as to those portions of the Real Property for which Title Company will not issue an ALTA Extended Owner's Policy for lack of an ALTA survey prior to Closing, subject to Buyer's approval during the Title and Survey Review Period defined below. Buyer shall have until expiration of the Inspection Period described in Section 4.1 or ten (10) days after receipt of the ESM Survey described at Section 3.2, whichever is later (the "Title and Survey Review Period"), to advise Seller in writing of any encumbrances, restrictions, easements, or other matters shown in the Preliminary Commitment or ESM Survey (collectively, "Exceptions") to which Buyer objects. Except as otherwise provided below, all Exceptions to which Buyer does not object in writing prior to expiration of the Title and Survey Review Period shall be deemed accepted by Buyer, provided, however, that if Buyer does not deliver any written notice to Seller regarding its objection to Exceptions prior to expiration of the Title and Survey Review Period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have and disapproved the condition of title to the Real Property, in which event this Agreement shall terminate and the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer. If Buyer does not receive complete and legible copies of all exceptions and encumbrances noted in the Preliminary Commitment within ten (10) days after mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement, then Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and assist Buyer in obtaining such copies from the Title Company as soon as possible.
If Buyer timely objects to any Exceptions, then Seller shall advise Buyer in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of Buyer's written objections: (a) which Exceptions Seller will remove at Closing, (b) which Exceptions the Title Company has agreed to remove from the title policy to be issued at Closing, and (c) which Exceptions will not be removed by Seller or Title Company. If Seller does not otherwise give an adequate, complete, timely, and written notice to Buyer regarding any Exception to which Seller has timely objected, then Seller shall be deemed to have given notice Buyer that such Exception will not be removed by Seller or Title Company prior to Closing.
Within twenty (20) days after Seller's receipt of Buyer's written objections, if Seller has not agreed to remove all Exceptions to which Buyer objects, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of Buyer's election to either: (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, or (b) waive its objections to the Exceptions that Seller will not remove or cause Title Company to insure around, in which event such Exceptions shall be deemed accepted by Buyer. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement in writing within the twenty (20) day period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its objections to the Exceptions that Seller will not remove or cause Title Company to insure around.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall cause, at Seller's sole expense, all mortgages, deeds of trust, and other monetary liens except non-delinquent assessment liens (e.g., liens for local improvement district assessments), including liens for delinquent taxes, mechanics, materialman's or
4
service provider liens, and judgment liens, to be fully satisfied, released, and discharged of record on or prior to the Closing Date without necessity of Buyer's objection. All such mortgages, deeds of trust and other monetary liens shall automatically be deemed unacceptable to Buyer (without any need for Buyer to object to them expressly) and shall be removed by Seller as provided above.
3.2 Survey. Within five (5) days after mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller shall engage ESM Consulting Engineers, L.L.C. ("ESM"), to prepare a survey of portions of the Land by letter proposal dated January , 2001 (the "ESM Survey"). The parties shall cooperate to cause the ESM Survey to be completed and delivered to Buyer as soon as practicable, and acknowledge that they desire to have the completed ESM Survey delivered no later than March 7, 2001, if feasible. The parties acknowledge that Seller is solely responsible for the cost of the ESM Survey if this transaction fails to close but that if this transaction does close, then at Closing Buyer shall pay all ESM Survey costs.
3.3 Permitted Exceptions. The term "Permitted Exceptions" means: (a) the Exceptions accepted or deemed accepted by Buyer as provided above; (b) the lien of non-delinquent real estate taxes for the current calendar year, subject to pro-ration as provided herein; (c) the Tenant Leases; (d) non-delinquent assessment liens, subject to pro-ration as provided herein; and (e) matters that would be disclosed by an accurate ALTA survey of the Real Property.
3.4 Title Policy. At Closing, Seller shall cause Title Company to deliver to Buyer an ALTA Extended Owner's Policy of title insurance (or, at Buyer's option, a binder therefor) issued by Title Company in the amount of the Purchase Price, dated the Closing Date, insuring Buyer's title subject to no exceptions other than the general exceptions and the Permitted Exceptions (the "Title Policy"). The Title Policy may be for an ALTA Standard Owner's Policy of title insurance as to those portions of the Real Property for which Title Company will not issue an ALTA Extended Owner's Policy for lack of an ALTA survey prior to Closing, subject to Buyer's approval during the Title and Survey Review Period. The Title Policy shall be consistent with the Preliminary Commitment and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and shall contain such coverages and endorsements issued by Title Company as Buyer may specify, provided that Buyer shall pay the cost of all endorsements.
3.5 Conveyance of Real Property. At Closing, Seller shall convey to Buyer fee simple title to the Real Property by execution and delivery of statutory warranty deeds in the form of Schedule 3.4(a) hereto as to the MPR Property (the "MPR Deed") and in the form of Schedule 3.4(b) hereto as to the Peacock Hill Property (the "Peacock Hill Deed"), subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Seller shall also execute and deliver at Closing instruments granting the additional easement and rights described in the last sentence of Section 1.2 above in the forms of Schedules 7.2(h) and 7.2(i).
3.6 Assignment of DNR Lease. At Closing, subject to the prior written approval of the DNR, Seller shall assign to Buyer the interest of Seller in and to the DNR Lease by execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption of DNR Lease in the form of Schedule 3.5 hereto (the "Assignment of DNR Lease").
3.7 Assignment of Tenant Leases. At Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer the interest of Seller in and to the Tenant Leases by execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption of Leases in the form of Schedule 3.6 hereto (the "Assignment of Tenant Leases").

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Seller makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of Seller's Documents except those prepared by Seller for Buyer (such as financial information and also including, without limitation, all schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement). Seller expressly disclaims any and all liability for representations or warranties, expressed or implied, contained in or for omissions from Seller's Documents, except those prepared by Seller for Buyer and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

Seller's Documents are being delivered for the limited purpose of assisting Buyer in deciding whether or not to proceed with its purchase of the Property and upon the express understanding that they will be used only for such purpose. Buyer agrees to make use of Seller's Documents only for the purpose of evaluating the purchase of the Property and agrees not to disclose to any person, except its consultants, affiliates, investors, advisors and their respective employees who have a need to know, the contents of Seller's Documents, that discussions are taking place, or that information is being exchanged between parties.

4.3 Inspection of Real Property. During the Inspection Period, Buyer at its sole expense may inspect the physical condition of the Real Property, verify to its satisfaction the financial information provided to it and conduct any environmental or other inspections as it deems appropriate; provided, however, Buyer shall have the right to enter upon the Real Property only in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

Without expanding Buyer's obligations set forth above, it is understood that Buyer shall not liable for or in connection with the discovery and reporting as required by law of any hazardous or environmental condition on the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement.
(d) Buyer's entry shall be at reasonable times and in compliance with all laws, leases, and other agreements of Seller, so as to minimize any disruption of Seller's tenants and the operations of Seller, its affiliates and subsidiaries. Buyer, its agents and consultants, to the extent reasonably possible, will be sensitive to the impacts of their due diligence efforts on the employees of Seller, will minimize their intrusions, and will not disclose the purpose of their work to any person or entity without Seller's prior written consent. Unless Seller has given its prior written consent, which shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (i) no improvements shall be constructed upon the Real Property, no materials, vehicles or equipment shall be placed or stored on the Real Property except for the purposes of testing, and no construction activity shall be conducted upon the Real Property, and (ii) no grading, filling, excavation, or other disturbance of the soils shall be permitted.

cause its consultants to provide to Seller complete copies of any work product Buyer and its consultants have produced on behalf of Buyer, provided that Seller shall compensate Buyer and its consultants for their reproduction costs. Buyer shall cause all of its consultants to keep the transaction described in this Agreement completely confidential.
4.4 Approval of Property Condition. If Buyer is satisfied in its sole discretion with the results of its inspection of Seller's Documents and the Real Property, then at any time prior to expiration of the Inspection Period Buyer shall give written notice to Seller of Buyer's approval of the condition of the Property. If Buyer shall fail to give timely written notice to Seller of Buyer' s approval of the condition of the Property, then Buyer shall be deemed to have disapproved the condition of the Property, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder except under those provisions intended to survive the termination of this Agreement.
4.5 Certification. Within ten (10) days after the date this Agreement has been executed by all parties, Seller shall certify and deliver to Buyer complete copies of all Tenant Leases, Contracts, the DNR Lease, and all reports, assessments, and studies listed on Schedule 8.1.1(i).

Seller has no obligation under this Agreement to undertake any investigation or take any affirmative action to acquire any knowledge, including without limitation the review of Seller's Documents, other than a reasonable inquiry of Seller's current employees likely to possess knowledge. It is also understood that information contained in the Disclosures, as defined in Section 11.1 below, is not imputed to Mr. McCarry or Mr. Griffin except as and to the extent either of them has actual knowledge of such information.

If the casualty or condemnation is not material or Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then Seller shall have no obligation to repair or replace any damage or destruction caused by the foregoing, but the following shall apply at the Closing: (a) in the event of a casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing for the reasonably estimated remaining cost to restore the Property to its condition immediately prior to such casualty (it being understood that the proceeds of any casualty insurance shall be and remain payable to Seller); and (b) in the event of condemnation, Seller shall assign to Buyer its rights to any resulting condemnation proceeds and shall not make any settlements without Buyer's prior written approval.

Buyer acknowledges that Seller has disclosed to Buyer the condition of the Property by providing to Buyer the following documents and information (collectively, the "Disclosures"): the schedules hereto, the Preliminary Commitment, Seller's Documents, the right to interview Seller's consultants and employees, and the right to enter upon, inspect, study, survey, and conduct tests upon the Property, all prior to the time when Buyer was irrevocably committed to complete the purchase of the Property under this Agreement.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Disclosures disclose material defects in the condition of the Property and that Seller makes no covenant, representation, or warranty as to the suitability of the Property for any purpose or as to the condition of the Property except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Buyer hereby waives all objections and complaints regarding the condition of the Property, including without limitation objections and complaints relating to surface and subsurface conditions, except as provided in any covenant, agreement, representation, or warranty in this Agreement. Buyer agrees that it is purchasing the Property in its present condition, AS IS, subject only to the covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties provided by Seller in this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver or release of any claims or rights that Buyer may have against any third party, including without limitation any prior owner of any portion of the Property. Buyer assumes the risk that adverse conditions may not have been revealed by its own investigation or by the Disclosures (but without limiting Seller's covenants, agreements, warranties and representations in this Agreement). Except for and with respect to Seller's obligations, warranties and representations in this Agreement, Buyer hereby waives, releases, acquits, and forever discharges Seller of and from any and all claims, actions, demands, rights, damages, costs of response or remedial action, or expenses whatsoever, direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, including claims of third parties, that now exist or that may arise in the future on account of or in connection with the condition of the Property, including without limitation any surface or subsurface contamination, but excluding claims for statutory or contractual right of contribution under any state or federal hazardous substance law or regulation.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER MAKES NO COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS, OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO: (I) THE CONDITION OF THE REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY OR ANY BUILDINGS,
22
STRUCTURES, OR IMPROVEMENTS ON THE REAL PROPERTY OR THE SUITABILITY OF THE REAL PROPERTY FOR HABITATION OR FOR BUYER'S INTENDED USE OR FOR ANY USE WHATSOEVER; (II) ANY APPLICABLE BUILDING, ZONING, OR FIRE LAWS OR REGULATIONS, OR WITH RESPECT TO COMPLIANCE THEREWITH, OR WITH RESPECT TO THE EXISTENCE OF OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY REQUIRED PERMITS, IF ANY, OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY; (III) THE AVAILABILITY OR EXISTENCE OF ANY WATER, SEWER, OR OTHER UTILITIES OR UTILITY RIGHTS; (IV) THE EXISTENCE OF ANY WATER, SEWER OR OTHER UTILITY DISTRICT; OR (V) THE PRESENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES; (VI) THE PRESENCE OF ANY UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS OR ASBESTOS; OR (VII) COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPERTY WITH THE TERMS OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT.

BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE PROPERTY AND, EXCEPT FOR THE COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER HEREIN, IS RELYING ENTIRELY THEREON, ON ANY CONSULTANTS THAT BUYER RETAINS, AND ON THE DISCLOSURES.
11.2 Seller's Indemnification Liabilities. 11.2.1 Seller shall defend, indemnify, and hold Buyer, its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, partners, and subsidiaries, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liens, liabilities, fines, penalties, monitoring costs, response costs, and any other costs and expenses (including attorney's fees and costs and fees of consultants) relating to the Property (collectively, "Seller's Indemnification Liabilities") that arise from or relate to a liability or loss arising after the Closing Date from the following matters: (i) breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of Seller made herein; (ii) any warranty claims (actual or alleged), defects (actual or alleged) or by any other claim or matter arising from the construction or sale of homes, town homes, or condominium units on or before the Closing Date; (iii) any violation of the rights of any employee or agent of Seller that occurred or is alleged to have occurred on or before the Closing Date or in conjunction with the termination of employment in connection with this transaction; or (iv) any actual or alleged breach of lease or contract or any mechanics' lien, or any claim, demand or action for personal injury, death or property damage resulting from or in connection with any activity on, upon, or about any portion of the Property that occurred or is alleged to have occurred on or before the Closing Date, and including without limitation all matters listed on Schedule 8.1.1(b)-1; provided, that Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer (under clause (iv)) from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense to the extent arising from Buyer's negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement (including breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer). For purposes of this Section 11.2.1, it is understood that a warranty or representation has been "breached" if such warranty or representation was inaccurate or untrue in any material respect when made. Without limiting the generality of Seller's Indemnification Liabilities set forth above, Seller shall retain all liabilities and obligations relating to those matters of pending and threatened litigation described in Schedule 8.1.1(b)-1, shall continue to defend those matters at its own expense and using its own counsel, and Buyer shall communicate and cooperate with Seller regarding such matters, but at no expense to Buyer.
23
11.2.2 Seller shall also defend, indemnify, and hold Buyer, its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, partners, and subsidiaries, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liens, liabilities, fines, penalties, monitoring costs, response costs, and any other costs and expenses (including attorney's fees and costs and fees of consultants) relating to the Property that arise from or relate to (i) the remediation (including without limitation monitoring) or cleanup of any Hazardous Substances Problem (as defined below) resulting from the use, storage, handling, disposal or release of Hazardous Substances on or about the Property that occurred or is alleged to have occurred on or before the Closing Date (provided that such Hazardous Substance Problem was not disclosed to Buyer in the reports and studies listed on Schedule 8.1.1(i) or otherwise in writing prior to expiration of the Inspection Period); or (ii) any claim, demand or action made or commenced by a third party (including without limitation any governmental agency) against Buyer resulting from the use, storage, handling, disposal or release of Hazardous Substances on or about the Property that occurred or is alleged to have occurred on or before the Closing Date. Seller's obligations set forth above shall be deemed part of Seller's Indemnification Liabilities for purposes of this Agreement.
As used in this Section 11.2.2, a "Hazardous Substances Problem" means the presence of Hazardous Substances on any part of the Property that were used, stored, handled, disposed of or released in violation of any law or regulation or so as to require remediation (including monitoring) or cleanup under any law or regulation, whether or not any claim, demand or action has been made or commenced against Buyer by any third party. For purposes of clause (i) in the above paragraph, a Hazardous Substances Problem will have been "disclosed" to Buyer if there was disclosed (in the reports and studies listed in Schedule 8.1.1(i) or otherwise in writing to Buyer during the Inspection Period) reasonably specific information about such Problem. By way of example, if the presence of an underground tank in a reasonably specific location had been disclosed to Buyer, then clause (i) of the above paragraph would not impose on Seller any liability to remove such tank; but if is discovered that the tank were leaking, and the leak had not been disclosed, then clause (i) would impose liability to remediate the leak (which might include removing the tank). By way of further example, disclosure of the mere fact that certain industrial activities had occurred on a portion of the Property, or that certain chemicals had been used on the Property, would not constitute disclosure of the need for remediation or cleanup resulting from such activity or use.
11.3 Limitations on Seller's Indemnification Liabilities. Certain of Seller's Indemnification Liabilities shall be limited as described in this subsection. Seller's Indemnification Liabilities under Section 11.2.1(i) above (as to breach of any representation or warranty made herein, and as to breach of any agreement or covenant to be performed by Seller at or before Closing) shall apply and be enforced only to the extent that the aggregate liability or loss to Buyer exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars (US$50,000.00) and is asserted against or incurred by Buyer within two (2) year after the Closing Date. Seller's Indemnification Liabilities under Sections 11.2.1(iii) and 11.2.1(iv) above shall apply and be enforced only to the extent that the liability or loss to Buyer is asserted against or incurred by Buyer within four (4) years after the Closing Date.
Seller's Indemnification Liabilities under Section 11.2.2, as they apply to all claims made by Buyer directly against Seller under clause (i) (in the first paragraph of such Section 11.2.2), shall apply and be enforceable only as to Hazardous Substances Problems that have been identified to Seller by Buyer and as to which Buyer has commenced litigation against Seller relating to such Problems (if Seller has not previously accepted responsibility therefor) within eight (8) years after the Closing Date. As Seller's Indemnification Liabilities under Section 11.2.2 apply to claims, demands or actions made or commenced by a third party against Buyer (and are thus covered by clause (ii) in the first paragraph of such Section 11.2.2), such Seller's Indemnification Liabilities shall apply and be enforceable without limit as to claims, demands or actions that are made or commenced against Buyer within eight
24
(8) years after the Closing Date and as to which Buyer has commenced litigation against Seller to enforce Seller's Indemnification Liabilities hereunder (if Seller has not previously accepted responsibility therefor) within such eight-year period after the Closing Date; but as to claims, demands or actions first made or commenced by a third party against Buyer more than eight (8) years after the Closing Date, Seller's Indemnification Liabilities shall not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in the aggregate.
With respect to Seller's Indemnification Liabilities described in Section 11.2.1, it shall be a further condition to Seller's obligation to indemnify and defend as to a particular loss or liability that Buyer shall have commenced litigation against Seller to enforce Seller's Indemnification Liabilities as to such loss or liability within the applicable time period (if any) described above (if Seller has not previously accepted responsibility therefor), except that with respect to any loss or liability resulting from an action or proceeding commenced by a third party against Buyer within the applicable limitation period (if any), Buyer shall not be required to have commenced litigation against Seller within the applicable limitation period in order to have Seller's Indemnification Liabilities apply to such loss or liability.
11.4 Buyer's Indemnification Liabilities and Release. Buyer shall defend, indemnify, and hold Seller, its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, partners, and subsidiaries, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liens, liabilities, fines, penalties, monitoring costs, response costs, and any other costs and expenses (including attorney's fees and costs and fees of consultants) relating to the Property (collectively, "Buyer's Indemnification Liabilities") that arise from or relate to a liability or loss arising after the Closing Date from the following matters: (i) breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of Buyer made herein; (ii) any claim, demand or action made or commenced by a third party (including without limitation any government agency) against Seller resulting from the use, storage, handling, disposal or release of Hazardous Substances on or about the Property that occurred or is alleged to have occurred after the Closing Date; (iii) any warranty claims (actual or alleged), defects (actual or alleged) or by any other claim or matter arising from the construction or sale of homes, town homes, or condominium units after the Closing Date; (iv) any violation of the rights of any employee or agent of Buyer that occurred or is alleged to have occurred after the Closing Date; or (v) any actual or alleged breach of lease or contract or any mechanics' lien, or any claim, demand or action for personal injury, death or property damage resulting from or in connection with any activity on, upon, or about any portion of the Property that occurred or is alleged to have occurred after the Closing Date, provided, that Buyer shall not be obligated to indemnify Seller under clause (v) from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense to the extent arising from Seller's negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement (including breach of any representation or warranty of Seller). For purposes of this Section 11.4, it is understood that a warranty or representation has been "breached" if such warranty or representation was inaccurate or untrue in any material respect when made.
Buyer hereby waives, releases, acquits, and forever discharges Seller, its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, partners, and subsidiaries, of and from all claims, demands, damages, losses, liens, liabilities, fines, penalties, monitoring costs, response costs, and any other costs and expenses (including attorney's fees and costs and fees of consultants) relating to the Property that are incurred by Buyer after the Closing Date except as to (a) costs, expenses, and liabilities of Buyer for which Seller is obligated to defend, indemnify, and hold Buyer harmless under Seller's Indemnification Liabilities, including without limitation Seller's direct liability to Buyer for breach of any warranty or representation in this Agreement or for breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller at or before Closing, subject to the limitations set forth at Section 11.3, and (b) any obligation of Seller described within this Agreement that by its express terms is to be performed after or to extend beyond the Closing Date, including without limitation Seller's Post-Closing Community Obligations under Article XIV, the obligations of Seller arising under Seller's Closing documents described at Section 7.2, Seller's obligation to provide the Title Policy under Section 7.4, Seller's obligations under
25
Section 6.5, Seller's obligations regarding post-Closing adjustments of pro-rations and costs, and Seller's obligations under Section 16.16. Buyer's release under this paragraph shall not take effect as to any matter that is the subject of pending litigation between Buyer and Seller as of the date of expiration of the applicable Seller's Indemnification Liabilities until dismissal, final judgment, or other resolution of such litigation. For example, if as of the date two (2) years after the Closing Date Buyer and Seller are engaged in litigation regarding a claim by Buyer that Seller has breached a warranty under this Agreement, then Buyer's release of Seller for the breach of warranty alleged by Buyer in such litigation shall not take effect until dismissal, final judgment, or other resolution of such litigation.
Except for Seller's Indemnification Liabilities, Seller's Post-Closing Community Obligations under Article XIV, the express obligations of Seller under Seller's Closing documents described at Section 7.2, Seller's obligation to provide the Title Policy under Section 7.4, Seller's obligations under Section 6.5, Seller's obligations regarding post-Closing adjustments of pro-rations and costs, Seller's obligations under Section 16.16, and as otherwise provided above, Seller shall have no liabilities or obligations to Buyer after Closing under this Agreement.
11.5 Survival. The terms and conditions of this Article XI shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement and shall benefit and bind the successors and assigns of Buyer and Seller.
26
Possession of the Property shall be delivered to Buyer on the Closing Date subject to the rights of tenants under the Tenant Leases and other Permitted Exceptions.
ARTICLE XIII. DOCUMENT RETENTION
Buyer shall preserve and retain all documents provided by Seller to Buyer, including without limitation all copies and originals of Seller's Documents, at a secure administrative office or storage facility within Jefferson County, Kitsap County, or King County, Washington, for a period not less than ten (10) years after the Closing Date (the "Document Retention Period"). During the Document Retention Period, upon the prior written request of Seller, Buyer shall allow Seller to inspect and copy any and all of Seller's Documents at the office or storage facility during normal weekday business hours. All copies shall be made at Seller's expense.
ARTICLE XIV. OBLIGATIONS TO PORT LUDLOW COMMUNITY
Buyer acknowledges that Seller has made certain oral and other commitments to the Port Ludlow community, some or all of which may be legally unenforceable, but all of which are moral obligations that Buyer and Seller desire and intend to perform after the Closing Date. These commitments are described on Schedule 14(a) ("Seller's Post-Closing Community Obligations") and Schedule 14(b) ("Buyer's Post-Closing Community Obligations"). Within a reasonable period of time after the Closing Date, Seller shall perform or cause to be performed at its sole expense each of Seller's Post-Closing Community Obligations, and Buyer shall perform or cause to be performed at its sole expense each of Buyer "s Post-Closing Community Obligations. The parties shall communicate and cooperate with each other to ensure that their performance of their respective Post-Closing Community Obligations is beneficial and causes no presently unforeseeable inconvenience or harm to the other party hereto.
15.1 Default by Buyer. If Buyer fails, without legal excuse, to complete the purchase of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Seller's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages. Buyer expressly agrees that the delivery to and the retention of the Earnest Money by Seller represents a reasonable estimation of the damages in the event of Buyer's default, that actual damages may be difficult to ascertain and that this provision does not constitute a penalty. The foregoing limitation on the liability of Buyer shall not be applicable with respect to Buyer's obligations to be performed or enforced after Closing.
15.2 Default by Seller. If Seller fails, without legal excuse, to complete the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise defaults hereunder, Buyer may elect to pursue any remedy provided by law or in equity, including termination of this Agreement and suit for damages and specific enforcement in a proper case. If Seller's default consists of its failure to tender at Closing its deliveries as described at Section 7.2, then Buyer may elect to terminate the Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, Seller shall pay to Buyer the Contribution described below, Buyer shall have no other remedy for Seller's default, and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder except under those provisions intended to survive the termination of this Agreement. It is understood that nothing in the preceding sentence is intended to limit or impair Buyer's remedies for Seller's breach unless Buyer elects the remedies described in the preceding sentence, and that if Buyer has the right to the remedies described in the preceding sentence but elects not to seek those remedies (as it may elect or not in its sole discretion), then Buyer shall have the right to seek all remedies available at law and in equity, including specific performance in a proper case and all provable damages.
27
The Contribution is the sum of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars (US$350,000.00) and is intended (a) to reimburse Buyer for Buyer's costs and expenses payable to third parties in connection with its due diligence relating to the Property, and (b) to compensate Buyer for Buyer's time and expenses relating to the negotiations contemplated hereunder and the time of Buyer's executives to make the necessary arrangements to organize and finance this transaction, all of which losses would otherwise be difficult to ascertain. If Buyer elects to receive the Contribution and Seller pays it, then Buyer within ten (10) days after receipt of the Contribution shall convey and deliver to Seller possession and all of Buyer's right, title, and interest in and to all analyses, maps, reports, studies, surveys, and other documents owned or possessed by Buyer and relating to the Property. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the Contribution is reasonable in light of Buyer's time, opportunity cost and expenditures to examine the Property, to negotiate this Agreement and to conduct due diligence both before and following execution of this Agreement.
15.3 Attorneys' Fees. In the event either party brings an action or any other proceeding against the other party to enforce or interpret any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof, the party prevailing in any such action or proceeding shall be paid all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees by the other party in such amounts as shall be set by the court, at trial and on appeal.
16.1 Brokers and Finders. Each party represents to the other that no broker or finder has been involved in this transaction. In the event of a claim for broker's fee, finder' s fee, commission or other similar compensation in connection with this Agreement, Buyer, if such claim is based upon any agreement alleged to have been made by Buyer, hereby agrees to indemnify Seller against any and all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) that Seller may sustain or incur by reason of such claim. Seller, if such claim is based upon any agreement alleged to have been made by Seller, hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer against any and all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) that Buyer may sustain or incur by reason of such claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing.
16.2 Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents and approvals that may, or are required to, be given by any party to any other party hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally, sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service,

16.3 Amendment, Waiver. No modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement may be made except by written agreement. No failure by Seller or Buyer to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy shall constitute a wavier of any such breach or any other covenant, agreement, term or condition. No waiver shall affect or alter this Agreement, and each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof. All the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Seller's or Buyer's permitted successors and assigns.
16.4 Survival. All provisions of this Agreement that involve obligations, duties or rights to be performed after the Closing Date or the recording of the Deed, and all representations, warranties and indemnities made in or to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and the recording of the Deed. Those provisions of this Agreement intended to survive the termination of this Agreement, including without limitation Article XI and Sections 4.3(c), 4.3(d), and 16.1 hereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
29
16.5 Captions. The captions of this Agreement are for convenience and reference only and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of this Agreement.
16.6 Merger of Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the exhibits hereto constitute the final and complete agreement between the parties with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, letters of intent and understandings between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter of this Agreement except the Confidentiality Agreement described at Section 16.14.
16.7 No Joint Venture. It is not intended by this Agreement to, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall, create any partnership, joint venture or other arrangement between Buyer and Seller. No term or provision of this Agreement is intended to be, or shall be, for the benefit of any person, firm, organization or corporation not a party hereto, and no such other person, firm, organization or corporation shall have any right or cause of action hereunder.
16.8 Governing Law; Time. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Washington. "Day" as used herein means a calendar day and "business day" means any day on which commercial banks are generally open for business. Any period of time that would otherwise end on a non-business day shall be extended to the next following business day. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
16.9 Schedules. All schedules attached hereto or referenced herein are incorporated in this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree, however, that as of the date this Agreement has been executed, some schedules and exhibits have not been completed and agreed upon and the parties have also not agreed upon a final allocation of the Purchase Price among the Real Property, the Personal Property, and the Olympic Water and Sewer, Inc. stock. The parties agree to review and negotiate such matters diligently and in good faith, and upon completion and mutual approval of all such schedules, exhibits and other matters, they shall promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement memorializing such agreements.
16.10 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such provisions had not been contained herein.
16.11 Counterparts. This Agreement and the documents to be delivered hereunder may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.
16.12 Assignment. Buyer's rights under this Agreement are not assignable, by operation of law or otherwise, and Seller shall have no obligation to perform hereunder for any assignee or transferee of Buyer, except that Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to any affiliate of Buyer, or to any limited partnership, general partnership, co-tenancy or a limited liability company that is controlled or managed directly or indirectly by Buyer. In the event of any assignment by Buyer of its rights under this Agreement, Buyer will not be released from any obligations under this Agreement.
16.13 Tax Deferred Exchange. Buyer and Seller will cooperate with each other in connection with the form and structure of this transaction in order to limit tax liabilities and preserve tax benefits to themselves to the extent permitted by law. Either Buyer or Seller may elect to close this transaction as a part of a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, in which case the other party will sign all documents necessary for such exchange and otherwise cooperate therewith, provided only that the other party will not be required to incur any additional expense or liability or acquire title to any property except as provided otherwise in this Agreement. Each party electing to close as part of a tax-deferred exchange will indemnify, defend, and hold the other party harmless from
30
any loss, liability, claim, or expense that is asserted against or incurred by the other party in connection with their cooperation with any tax deferred exchange.
16.14 Confidentiality. Buyer shall keep this Agreement, the transactions described in this Agreement, Seller's Documents, and all information relating to the Property disclosed by Seller to Buyer completely confidential and shall not disclose the same to any person or entity (specifically including without limitation all employees of Seller other than management personnel) other than Buyer's consultants, affiliates, investors, and their respective employees (who shall agree to keep the information confidential and be provided only such information as is necessary to perform their services) without Seller's prior written consent; provided, that Buyer may disclose information as required under any law or regulation or as necessary to enforce this Agreement; and provided further that Buyer shall have no obligation of confidentiality after Closing. Buyer shall conduct all due diligence consistent with this section. The obligations of Buyer under this section supplement and do not replace the obligations of Buyer under that certain Confidentiality Agreement dated February 8, 2000.
16.15 Continuing Forest Land Obligations. Buyer acknowledges that portions of the Real Property are subject to certain continuing forest land obligations applicable under the forest practices rules adopted pursuant to RCW 76.09.370 (the "Continuing Obligations"). The Continuing Obligations are described on Schedule 16.15 hereto. At or before Closing, Buyer agrees to sign and deliver to Seller an original notice that indicates the Buyer's knowledge of the Continuing Obligations, including any notice provided or required by the DNR. At Closing, Seller shall send the executed notice to DNR in accordance with the requirements of RCW 76.09.390. As of Closing, Buyer assumes and agrees to perform the Continuing Obligations at Buyer's sole cost and expense in a timely fashion, and to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against the Continuing Obligations and any claim, loss, damage, cost or expense resulting from Buyer's failure to fulfill and perform the same. The provisions of this indemnity shall survive the Closing of this Agreement.
16.16 Cooperation. The parties acknowledge that Seller has disclosed in the schedules to this Agreement various potential issues and disputes relating to boundary lines affecting the Real Property. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer to resolve such issues and disputes after Closing, and in connection with any minor boundary line adjustments between the Real Property and Sellers' adjoining lands reasonably requested by Buyer from time to time (whether before or after Closing). In addition, Buyer and Seller agree that at any time or from time to time after the execution of this Agreement, whether before or after Closing, they will execute and deliver such further documents and undertake such other actions as the other party may reasonably request in order to effect fully the purposes of this Agreement.

Prior to Closing and for six (6) months after the Closing Date, Seller agrees to provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to Buyer in connection with its application for temporary or permanent liquor licenses and its applications for all other permits and licenses required to operate and maintain the Property after the Closing Date in substantially the same manner as Seller has operated and maintained it prior to Closing.

The Closing hereunder (the "Closing" or the "Closing Date") shall be held at the offices of the Title Company in Seattle, Washington, on June 13, 2001, or earlier upon the mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller. The Closing Date shall be postponed to the extent necessary (a) to enable Seller to provide all governmental and third-party notices at least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, (b) to enable Seller to obtain all governmental and third-party consents required under the DNR Lease, the Contracts, and all applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances, at least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, (c) to enable Buyer to obtain new temporary retail liquor licenses under applicable statutes to permit the sale of liquor at the Harbormaster Restaurant, Heron Beach Inn, Port Ludlow Marina, and Port Ludlow Golf Course after Closing; (d) to allow for the satisfaction or waiver of all remaining conditions precedent to Closing, provided, however, that the Closing Date shall not be postponed beyond June 27, 2001, except upon the prior written approval of Buyer and Seller.
XVI. SCHEDULES. Section 16.9 of the Agreement is amended to provide as follows:
The parties acknowledge and agree that, as of the date this Agreement has been executed, some schedules and exhibits have not been completed and agreed upon and the parties have also not agreed upon a final allocation of the Purchase Price among the Real Property, the Personal Property, and the Olympic Water and Sewer, Inc. stock. The parties agree to review and negotiate such matters diligently and in good faith, and upon completion and mutual approval of all such schedules, exhibits and other matters, they shall promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement memorializing such agreements. If all schedules hereto are not approved by the parties in an amendment to this Agreement mutually executed and delivered on or before May 18, 2001, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder except under those provisions intended to survive the termination of this Agreement.

Seller expects that Jefferson County will grant final plat approval of Timberton Village Phase III in May or June 2001, either prior to or after Closing. Because Buyer and Seller intend to include within the Note amount the cost of subdivision, land use entitlement, and improvement of Timberton Village Phase III prior to Closing as a component of the MPR Platted Lot Adjustments, and because Buyer and Seller intend the Deed of Trust to convey to Pope Resources a security interest in Timberton Village Phase III and other real property comprising the MPR Platted Lots, Schedule 1.1.1(b)(i) shall be revised to include Timberton Village Phase III, Schedule 1.1.1(b)(ii) shall be revised to exclude Timberton Village Phase III, and Timberton Village Phase III shall be deemed to be a portion of the MPR Platted Lots and not a portion of the MPR Unplatted Parcels, notwithstanding that Seller has not obtained
6
governmental authorizations and approvals required for the platting and subdivision of Timberton Village Phase III. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain other schedules to the Agreement may include Timberton Village Phase III within discussion of MPR Unplatted Parcels for the sake of convenience, given that they were drafted in the expectation that Jefferson County would not grant final plat approval of Timberton Village Phase III prior to Closing.
XVIII. SCHEDULE 11.2. On page 40 of the Agreement, the reference to Schedules 9 (Employees and Hire Dates) and 11.2 (Sellers Indemnification Liabilities) are hereby deleted.
XIX. PLR MANAGEMENT, INC., ASSETS AND LIABILITIES. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Olympic Property Group LLC recently acquired the stock of PLR Management, Inc. ("PLR"), and that Seller is interested in contributing either the assets or stock of PLR to the Property under the Agreement, subject to a mutually satisfactory increase to the Purchase Price. The obligations of both Buyer and Seller under the Agreement are expressly conditioned upon and subject to the satisfaction of the following condition precedent: on or prior to May 22, 2001, Buyer and Seller shall mutually execute and deliver an amendment to the Agreement, on terms mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller in their sole discretion, under which (a) Seller contributes some or all of the assets or stock of PLR to the Property, (b) the Purchase Price is increased, (c) Buyer and Seller allocate liability for the Conditional Payment to Christopher Michael Derrig and Robert B.

Anything above to the contrary notwithstanding, OPG shall have no liability for breach of any warranty or representation in clause (i) of this section or for any indemnity or defense obligation arising from the breach of any warranty or representation in clause (i) to the extent that OPG is unable to impose liability upon and to recover damages or costs from Derrig or Hobart despite the exercise of reasonable diligence (conducted in cooperation with Buyer and at no out-of-pocket expense to OPG); provided, that OPG shall not be relieved of liability to Buyer under this sentence if and to the extent Gregory M. McCarry or Thomas A.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
(Olympic Property Group LLC and Port Ludlow Associates LLC)
(Olympic Water and Sewer, Inc.)
THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of May 29, 2001, between and among OLYMPIC WATER AND SEWER, INC., a Washington corporation (the "Company"), OLYMPIC PROPERTY GROUP LLC, a Washington limited liability company, as the sole shareholder in the Company ("OPG"), and PORT LUDLOW ASSOCIATES LLC, a Washington limited liability company ("Purchaser').
WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to acquire the Company; and
WHEREAS, OPG owns, and at the Closing will own, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (the "Shares"); and
WHEREAS, OPG desires to sell all of the Shares to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase all of the Shares from OPG, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are to occur simultaneously with the transactions contemplated under that certain Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement dated January 12, 2001, by and among Purchaser as Buyer and OPG, Pope Resources, and its wholly owned subsidiaries Olympic Real Estate Development LLC, Olympic Real Estate Management, Inc., and Olympic Resorts LLC collectively as Seller, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated February 8, 2001, Amendment No. 2 dated February 14, 2001, Amendment No. 3 dated February 27, 2001, Amendment No. 4 dated March 26, 2001, and Amendment No. 5 dated May 15, 2001, Amendment No. 6 dated May 18, 2001, and Amendment No. 7 dated May 25, 2001 (as amended, the "Asset Purchase Agreement").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK AND COMPANY ASSETS
1.1 Purchase and Sale of Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing OPG shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Purchaser the Shares, and Purchaser shall purchase the Shares from OPG, free and clear of all liens, claims, options, charges, encumbrances, preferential rights and restrictions on transfer whatsoever.
1.2 Purchase Price. At Closing Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to OPG, in full payment for the sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery of the Shares and the other undertakings of the Company and OPG hereunder, the amount of Two Million One Hundred Forty Thousand Fifty-six Dollars (US$2,140,056.00) (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser in immediately available United States funds pursuant to OPG's instructions on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after Closing the amount of the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by calculating the amount of the difference (the "Adjustment"), if any, between the Estimated Working Capital Amount and Working Capital, determined pursuant to the procedure set forth in this Section 1.2.
As used in this Agreement, "Working Capital" means the Company's total current assets minus the Company's total current liabilities, as of the Closing Date, determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that for purposes of this Agreement and the determination of Working Capital hereunder, the Company's total current assets shall not include the accounts receivable under the Revolving Promissory Note dated December 28, 2000, given by OPG to the Company, in the maximum principal amount of US$1,000,000.00 (the "Revolving Note"), or the accounts payable under the Business Services Agreement dated December 26, 2000, between ORM, Inc., as Contractor, and the Company as Owner (the "BSA").
OPG and Purchaser agree that the estimated amount of Working Capital (the "Estimated Working Capital Amount") is US$168,441.00.
No later than 45 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser and the Company shall, together with the outside accounting firm of the Company (the "Accountant"), prepare and deliver to OPG a statement of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Statement"). The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (applied consistently with the Financial Statements defined below) subject to the definition of Working Capital, and OPG agrees to assist in the preparation of the Closing Statement if and to the extent requested by Purchaser or the Accountant. OPG shall have fifteen (15) days following delivery of the Closing Statement to OPG to review the working papers and books and records of the Company used to determine the Closing Statement. OPG shall notify the Company and Purchaser within fifteen (15) days of the delivery of the Closing Statement to OPG whether OPG agrees with or disagrees with the Closing Statement, including the determination of Working Capital. If Company and Purchaser receive notice of OPG's disagreement with the Closing Statement, then all parties shall make a good faith effort to reach agreement on the Closing Statement, including the determination of Working Capital, within five (5) days of all parties receiving notice of the disagreement. If the parties cannot reach such an agreement within such five-day period, then the parties shall mutually select an independent public accounting firm (the "Neutral Auditor") to determine the Closing Statement, including the Working Capital, and such determination shall be binding on all parties to this Agreement. The cost of such Neutral Auditor shall be borne by whichever of Purchaser or OPG had a greater differential between their proposed determination of Working Capital and that determined by the Neutral Auditor. No later than sixty-five (65) days following the Closing Date or, if applicable, as soon as practicable after a final determination by the Neutral Auditor:
(i) If Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital Amount, Purchaser shall pay the amount of the Adjustment by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by OPG; or
(ii) If the Estimated Working Capital Amount exceeds Working Capital, OPG shall pay the amount of the Adjustment by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by Purchaser.
1.3 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall take place simultaneously with the closing of the transaction set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Closing"). The date of the Closing is sometimes referred to as the "Closing Date."
1.4 Form of Documents. At the Closing, the parties shall deliver the documents and shall perform the acts set forth in this Agreement. All closing documents shall be in form and substance satisfactory to OPG, the Company, and Purchaser.

POPE RESOURCES, a Delaware limited partnership ("Pope"), the sole owner and member of OPG, hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Purchaser (i) the truth and accuracy of all warranties and representations of OPG under this Agreement, (ii) the full, faithful and timely performance of all covenants, agreements, and obligations of OPG under this Agreement, and (iii) prior to Closing, the full, faithful and timely performance of all covenants, agreements, and obligations of the Company under this Agreement.
Pope further acknowledges and agrees that its liability hereunder is independent of the liability of OPG and the Company. A separate action may, at Purchaser's option, be brought and prosecuted against Pope to enforce its obligations hereunder, whether or not any action is first or subsequently brought against OPG or the Company, or whether or not OPG or the Company is joined in any such action, and Pope may be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by Purchaser against OPG or the Company arising out of, in connection with, or based upon this Agreement. Pope expressly waives any right (a) to require that Purchaser proceed against OPG or the Company (either as a condition to exercising rights or remedies against Pope hereunder or otherwise); (b) to require that Purchaser proceed against or exhaust any security or collateral held by Purchaser from OPG or the Company (either as a condition to exercising rights or remedies against Pope hereunder or otherwise); (c) to pursue any other remedy in Purchaser's power whatsoever (either as a condition to exercising rights or remedies against Pope hereunder or otherwise); or (d) to complain of delay in the enforcement of Purchaser's rights under this Agreement. Pope also expressly waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability of Pope or the cessation of the liability of OPG or the Company by reason of bankruptcy or insolvency of OPG or OPG's lack of authority to enter into the Agreement; (b) all demands upon and notices to OPG or the Company and to Pope, including, without limitation, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, notices of non-payment, and notices of acceptance of this guaranty obligation; and (c) any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, indemnity, contribution or subrogation, or any other right or remedy of Pope against OPG or the Company, or any security or collateral, resulting from any enforcement action or election of remedy by Purchaser or otherwise. Pope further expressly and forever waives any right or claim for indemnity, contribution or otherwise against the Company resulting from any loss, liability, damage or expense that Pope may sustain or incur hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Pope's obligations herein are subject to all Transaction Defenses. As used herein, "Transaction Defenses" means all defenses against claims by Purchaser that Pope would have had available to it had Pope executed and delivered the Agreement instead of OPG and performed the obligations thereunder to the same extent as such obligations were actually performed by OPG. By way of example, and without limitation, Transaction Defenses would include defenses based on the statute of limitations, discharges by performance, the absence of a breach or obligation, waiver (subject to Section 9.4), and the failure of consideration. Transaction Defenses would not include defenses predicated on the bankruptcy or insolvency of OPG or on OPG's lack of authority to enter into the Agreement.

THIS DEED OF TRUST is made this day of August, 2001, among Port Ludlow Associates LLC, a Washington limited liability company, as Grantor, whose address is c/o HCV Pacific Partners LLC, 625 Market Street, Suite 600, San Francisco, California 94105; Jefferson Title Company, Inc., a Washington corporation, as Trustee, whose address is 2205 Washington Street, P.O. Box 256, Port Townsend, Washington 98368; and Pope Resources, a Delaware limited partnership, as Beneficiary, whose address is 19245 Tenth Avenue N.E., Poulsbo, Washington 98370-0239.
Grantor irrevocably grants, bargains, sells, and conveys to Trustee in trust, with power of sale, the property in Jefferson County, Washington, described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, together with all interest and estate therein that the Grantor may hereafter acquire and together with the rents, issues, and profits therefrom, all waters and water rights however evidenced or manifested, and all appurtenances, buildings, structures, fixtures, attachments, tenements, and hereditaments, now or hereafter belonging or appertaining thereto (the "Property").
The Property is divided into the following four (4) categories or types of lots, as shown on Exhibit A: Type I Lots, Type II Lots, Type III Lots, and Type IV Lots. A Type I Lot is a platted lot improved by a completed single family residence as of the date hereof. A Type II Lot is a platted lot upon which a single family residence is under construction and is fifty percent (50%) or more completed, based on the estimated total construction cost, as of the date hereof. A Type III Lot is a platted lot upon which a single family residence is under construction and is less than fifty percent (50%) completed, based on the estimated total construction cost, as of the date hereof. A Type IV Lot is a vacant platted lot.
Grantor covenants the Property is not used principally for agricultural purposes.
THIS DEED IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF SECURING PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE of each agreement of Grantor incorporated by reference or contained herein and payment of the sum of FIVE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED FOURTEEN THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FORTY-TWO DOLLARS (US$5,814,742.00) with interest thereon and any late charges, according to the terms of a promissory note dated of even date herewith, payable to Beneficiary or order and made by Grantor (the "Note"); all renewals, modifications or extensions thereof; and also such further sums as may be advanced or loaned by Beneficiary to Grantor, or any of their successors or assigns, together with interest thereon at such rate as shall be agreed upon.
As used herein, "Loan Documents" means the Note, this Deed of Trust, that certain unrecorded Subordination and Release Agreement of even date herewith between Grantor and Beneficiary (the "Subordination and Release Agreement"), and any other document executed by Grantor in connection with the indebtedness secured hereby, including without limitation any loan agreement, and all renewals, modifications and extensions thereof.
The Grantor covenants and agrees as follows:
1. To pay all debts and monies secured hereby, when from any cause the same shall become due. To keep the Property free from statutory and governmental liens of any kind except liens for taxes and assessments not delinquent. That the Grantor is seized in fee simple of the Property and owns outright every part thereof, that he has good right to make this Deed of Trust and that he will forever warrant and defend said Property unto the Beneficiary, its successors and assigns, against every person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof. The Grantor upon request by mail will furnish a written statement duly acknowledged of the amount due on this Deed of Trust and whether any offsets or defenses exist against the debt secured hereby.
2. To maintain the buildings and other improvements on the Property in a rentable and tenantable condition and state of repair, to neither commit nor suffer any waste, to promptly comply
6
with all requirements of the Federal, State and Municipal authorities and all other laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants, conditions and restrictions respecting Property or the use thereof, and pay all fees or charges of any kind in connection therewith. Grantor shall permit Beneficiary or its agents the opportunity to inspect the Property, including the interior of any structures, at reasonable times and after reasonable notice.
3. To use best efforts and due diligence to complete construction, within one hundred twenty (120) days after commencement of construction, of a single family residence upon each of the Type II Lots and Type III Lots, pursuant to building permits issued by Jefferson County, Washington, including all reasonably necessary appurtenances thereto, which shall include without limitation foundations, framing, sheathing, siding, windows, doors, walls, roofing, painting, and insulation; piping and plumbing fixtures; electrical distribution systems, outlets, and lighting fixtures; heating systems; carpeting and other floor finishes; window coverings; lawns, trees, shrubbery, and other landscaping; and concrete driveways.
4. To use best efforts and due diligence to sell the Type I Lots, Type II Lots, Type III Lots, and Type IV Lots, to bona fide purchasers for fair market value, which shall include continuously and exclusively listing such lots for sale with a licensed real estate broker and paying fair and reasonable listing and sales commissions to such brokers upon closing, subject to Sections 10 and 13 hereof.
5. To maintain unceasingly, property insurance with premiums prepaid, on all of the Property, or hereafter becoming part of Property, against loss by fire and other causes of loss, and with such endorsements, as may be reasonably required from time to time by the Beneficiary. Such insurance shall be in such amounts and for such periods of time as Beneficiary reasonably designates and shall include a standard mortgagee clause, and/or a loss payee endorsement (without contribution) in favor of and in form satisfactory to Beneficiary. The foregoing notwithstanding, Grantor shall not be required to maintain insurance against loss by war damage, nuclear accident, flood, or earthquake unless it is available at commercially reasonable rates. Grantor covenants upon demand on Beneficiary to deliver to Beneficiary such policies and evidences of payment of premiums as Beneficiary requests.
6. To pay in full at least ten (10) days before delinquent all rents, taxes, assessments, encumbrances, charges, or liens with interest, that may now or hereafter be levied, assessed or claimed upon the Property that is the subject of this Deed of Trust or any part thereof, which at any time appear to be prior or superior hereto for which provision has not been made heretofore, and upon request will exhibit to Beneficiary official receipts therefor, and to pay all taxes imposed upon, reasonable costs, fees, and expenses of this Trust; provided, however, that Grantor, at its sole cost and expense and after written notice and furnishing of an appropriate bond to Beneficiary, may contest any rents, taxes, assessments, encumbrances, charges, or liens by appropriate proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence.. On default under this paragraph, Beneficiary may, at its option, pay any such sums, without waiver of any other right of Beneficiary by reason of such default of Grantor, and Beneficiary shall not be liable to Grantor for a failure to exercise any such option.
7. To repay within ten (10) days upon written demand to Grantor all sums expended or advanced under the Loan Documents by or on behalf of Beneficiary or Trustee, with interest from the date of such advance or expenditure at the rate provided in the Note until paid, and the repayment thereof shall be secured hereby. Failure to repay such expenditure or advance and interest thereon within ten (10) days of delivery of such demand will, at Beneficiary's option, constitute an event of default hereunder. All sums expended or advanced by or on behalf of Beneficiary or Trustee in satisfaction of any obligation of Grantor under the Loan Documents and any other loan documents to which Grantor is a party and under which the Property is subject to a lien shall be paid by Grantor to Beneficiary within ten (10) days of delivery of Beneficiary's written demand, and such repayment obligation shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
7
8. Time is of the essence hereof in connection with all obligations of the Grantor herein or in the Note. By accepting payment of any amount secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does not waive its right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare default for failure so to pay.
9. All sums secured hereby shall become immediately due and payable, at the option of the Beneficiary without demand or notice, after any of the following occur, each of which shall be an Event of Default: (a) default by Grantor in the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby and expiration of any applicable cure period provided for in the Note without such default having been cured, (b) default in the performance or observance of any other agreement contained herein or secured hereby and expiration of any applicable cure period provided for herein or in any other Loan Document without such default having been cured; or (c) if Grantor or any party liable on the Note (including guarantors) shall make any assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall permit the institution of any proceedings under any federal or state statutes pertaining to bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, dissolution, liquidation or receivership, whether or not an order for relief is entered. In the event of a default, Beneficiary may declare all amounts owed under the Loan Documents immediately due and payable without demand or notice and/or exercise its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law including foreclosure of this Deed of Trust judicially or nonjudicially by the Trustee pursuant to the power of sale. Beneficiary's exercise of any of its rights and remedies shall not constitute a waiver or cure of a default. Beneficiary's failure to enforce any default shall not constitute a waiver of the default or any subsequent default. Grantor agrees to pay all reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, accountants' fees, appraisal and inspection fees and cost of a title report, incurred by Beneficiary in connection with collection of the Note or any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, which costs shall be included in the indebtedness secured hereby; and in any suit, action or proceeding (including arbitration or bankruptcy proceedings), or any appeal therefrom, to enforce or interpret the Note or any other Loan Document, or to foreclose this Deed of Trust, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs incurred therein, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs of litigation. The Property may be sold separately or as a whole, at the option of Beneficiary. Trustee and/or Beneficiary may also realize on any personal property in accordance with the remedies available under the Uniform Commercial Code or at law. In the event of a foreclosure sale, Grantor and the holders of any subordinate liens or security interests waive any equitable, statutory or other right they may have to require marshaling of assets or foreclosure in the inverse order of alienation. Beneficiary may at any time discharge the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee who shall have all of the powers of the original Trustee.
10. Except for those instances in which Grantor pays Beneficiary a Release Fee at the closing of a Property lot sale as described at Section 13 below and in the Subordination and Release Agreement, if the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein is sold, conveyed, transferred, encumbered, or full possessory rights therein transferred, or if a controlling interest in Grantor (if a corporation or limited liability company) or a general partnership interest in Grantor (if a partnership) is sold, conveyed, transferred or encumbered, without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary, then Beneficiary may declare all sums secured by the Deed of Trust immediately due and payable. This provision shall apply to each and every sale, transfer, conveyance or encumbrance regardless of whether or not Beneficiary has consented or waived its rights, whether by action, or nonaction, in connection with any previous sale, transfer, conveyance, or encumbrance, whether one or more. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor may sell, convey, transfer, or encumber the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein to any affiliate of Grantor, or to any limited partnership, general partnership, co-tenancy, or a limited liability company that is controlled or managed directly or indirectly by Grantor (an "Approved Transferee"). Notwithstanding any sale, conveyance, transfer, or encumbrance, in no event shall Grantor be released from any obligations under the Loan Documents.
11.
8
11.1 Beneficiary may commence, appear in, and defend any action or proceeding which may affect the Property or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee.
11.2 If Beneficiary so requires following the occurrence of a default hereunder, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary monthly, together with and in addition to any payments of principal and/or interest due under the Note, a sum, as estimated by the Beneficiary, equal to the ground rents, if any, the real estate taxes and assessments next due on the Property and the premiums next due on insurance policies required under this Deed of Trust, less all sums already paid therefor, divided by the number of months to elapse before 2 months prior to the date when the ground rents, real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums will become delinquent, to be held by Beneficiary without interest and used to pay such items when due.
11.3 This Deed of Trust shall also serve as a financing statement filed for record in the real estate records as a fixture filing pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. To the extent applicable, this is a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code.
11.4 If any payment made or to be made under the Loan Documents shall constitute a violation of the applicable usury laws, then the payment made or to be made shall be reduced so that in no event shall any obligor pay or Beneficiary receive an amount in excess of the maximum amount permitted by the applicable usury laws.
11.5 If Grantor is in default, any tender of payment sufficient to satisfy all sums due hereunder or under the Note or other documents secured hereby, if any, made at any time prior to foreclosure sale shall constitute an evasion of the prepayment terms of the Note, if any, and shall be deemed a voluntary pre-payment. Any such payment, to the extent permitted by law, shall include the additional payment required under the prepayment privilege in the Note or if at that time there is no prepayment privilege, then such payment, to the extent permitted by law, will include an additional payment of 5% of the then principal balance.
11.6 The right, duties, liabilities and obligations of the parties under the Note shall be construed and governed by and under the laws of the State of Washington. The right, duties, liabilities, and obligations of the parties with respect to the Property shall be governed by the laws of the state where the Property is located. It is the intent of the parties that, to the fullest extent allowable by law, the law of the State of Washington shall apply to the transaction of which this Deed of Trust is a part.
12. Grantor agrees to provide written notice to Beneficiary immediately upon Grantor becoming aware that the Property or any adjacent property is being or has been contaminated after the date hereof with hazardous or toxic waste or substances. Grantor will not cause nor permit any activities on the Property that directly or indirectly could result in the Property or any other property becoming contaminated with hazardous or toxic waste or substances in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or ordinance. For purposes of this Deed of Trust, the term "hazardous or toxic waste or substances" means any substance or material defined or designated as hazardous or toxic wastes, hazardous or toxic material, a hazardous, toxic or radioactive substance or other similar term by any applicable federal, state or local statute, regulation or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. Grantor shall promptly comply with all statutes, regulations and ordinances which apply to Grantor or the Property, and with all orders, decrees or judgments of governmental authorities or courts having jurisdiction by which Grantor is bound, relating to the use, collection, storage, treatment, transportation, disposal, control, removal or cleanup of hazardous or toxic substances in, on or under the Property or in, on or under any adjacent property that becomes contaminated after the date hereof with hazardous or toxic substances as a result of construction, operations or other activities on, or the contamination of, the Property, at Grantor's expense. Beneficiary may, but is not obligated to, enter upon the Property and take such actions and incur such costs and expenses to effect such compliance as it deems advisable to protect its
9
interest as Beneficiary; and whether or not Grantor has actual knowledge of the existence of hazardous or toxic substances in, on or under the Property or any adjacent property as of the date hereof.
13. From time to time during the term hereof, Beneficiary shall grant partial releases of the lien of this Deed of Trust as to portions of the Property, subject to Grantor's compliance with and satisfaction of the requirements, terms, and conditions set forth within the Subordination and Release Agreement.
14. During the term hereof, Beneficiary shall mutually execute and deliver a subordination agreement with Grantor's construction lender to subordinate the lien of this Deed of Trust as to certain of the Type III Lots and Type IV Lots, according to the requirements, terms, and conditions set forth in the Subordination and Release Agreement.

SUBORDINATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
THIS SUBORDINATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of August , 2001, by and between PORT LUDLOW ASSOCIATES LLC, a Washington limited liability company ("Grantor"), and POPE RESOURCES, a Delaware limited partnership ("Beneficiary").
A. Beneficiary is beneficiary and Grantor is grantor under that certain Deed of Trust of even date herewith (the "Pope Deed of Trust") encumbering residential lots in the unincorporated master planned resort area commonly known as Port Ludlow, Jefferson County, Washington, as more particularly described in the Pope Deed of Trust (the "Lots"). The Pope Deed of Trust secures Grantor's obligations to Beneficiary under a Promissory Note in the original principal amount US$5,814,742.00 of even date herewith (the "Pope Note") and other obligations described in the Pope Deed of Trust.
B. Grantor has acquired title to the Lots in contemplation of constructing and developing residences and related improvements on the Lots, as further described in the Pope Deed of Trust.
C. It is the intent and desire of Beneficiary and Grantor to set forth certain provisions pertaining to subordination and partial release of the lien of the Pope Deed of Trust in this unrecorded Agreement rather than in the Pope Deed of Trust. The Pope Deed of Trust makes reference to this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Subordination. Beneficiary agrees that it will subordinate the lien of the Pope Deed of Trust to the lien of a future mortgage or deed of trust (the "Construction Deed of Trust") given to secure Grantor's obligations under a revolving loan for the purpose of constructing houses and related improvements on the Lots (the "Construction Loan"), subject to the following terms and conditions:
a. The aggregate amounts secured by the Pope Deed of Trust (including principal, interest, and late charges due under the Pope Note and all obligations of Grantee paid or performed by Beneficiary for Grantee's account as provided under the Pope Deed of Trust), Construction Deed of Trust, and all other financial encumbrances on the Lots (except liens for taxes and assessments, including without limitation homeowners association asessments, not yet due and payable) shall not exceed at any time eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate fair market value of all Lots encumbered by the Pope Deed of Trust from time to time. The agreement or agreements under which Beneficiary shall agree to the subordination of the lien of the Pope Deed of Trust to the lien of the Construction Deed of Trust shall contain reasonably sufficient provisions to ensure compliance by Grantor and Grantor's construction lender with the foregoing limitation.
b. Beneficiary shall not subordinate the lien of the Pope Deed of Trust on (i) any of the Lots improved by a completed single family residence as of the date hereof ("Type I Lots"), or (ii) any of the Lots upon which a single family residence is under construction and is fifty percent (50%) or more completed, based on the estimated total construction cost, as of the date hereof ("Type II Lots"). The Type I Lots and Type II Lots are described on Exhibit A hereto.
c. Beneficiary shall not be required to subordinate the lien of the Pope Deed of Trust to more than one (1) financial encumbrance at any time.
d. The Construction Loan shall be made solely for the purpose of constructing houses and related improvements on the Lots (including permitting, design, engineering and direct
construction management related to such construction but excluding Grantor's overhead), and funding closing costs and other costs directly related to such loan, and all sums so borrowed by Grantor shall be used only for those purposes.
e. The amount drawn and outstanding under the Construction Loan shall be limited to an amount reasonably necessary to consummate the loan and to construct the improvements on the Lots to be constructed with the proceeds thereof, which improvements shall be specifically described in agreements and documents relating to the Construction Loan. The terms and conditions of any Construction Loan and all documents in connection therewith (including the Construction Deed of Trust) shall be subject to Beneficiary's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided all such terms and conditions conform with the requirements of this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, Beneficiary shall not disapprove any proposed Construction Loan by reason of the term of such loan or the interest rate to be paid by Grantor thereunder, so long as all other requirements of this Agreement are met. It is understood that the Construction Loan may be in the form of a revolving credit under which individual "loans" are made for construction on each Lot.
f. Without limiting the generality of Beneficiary's rights of review and approval of Grantor's Construction Loan documents, the Construction Deed of Trust and Construction Loan agreement shall expressly provide (i) that the Construction Loan shall be used solely for the purposes permitted under this Agreement; (ii) that in the event of any failure of performance by Grantor under or in connection with the Construction Loan, the beneficiary under the Construction Deed of Trust shall give written notice of such failure to Beneficiary and a reasonable opportunity to cure such failure before declaring a default under the Construction Deed of Trust or the Construction Loan; and (iii) a procedure or mechanism to ensure that the aggregate amounts secured by the Pope Deed of Trust, Construction Deed of Trust, and all other financial encumbrances on the Lots (except liens for taxes and assessments not yet due and payable and homeowner association liens arising under any recorded declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions) shall not exceed at any time eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate fair market value of all Lots encumbered by the Pope Deed of Trust from time to time.
g. No subordination of the lien of the Pope Deed of Trust to any other lien or encumbrance shall be effective unless evidenced by a subordination instrument executed and delivered by Beneficiary and recorded in the Official Records of Jefferson County.
h. Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not cause or permit the aggregate amounts secured by the Pope Deed of Trust, Construction Deed of Trust, and all other financial encumbrances on the Lots (except liens for taxes and assessments not yet due and payable and homeowner association liens arising under any recorded declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions) to exceed at any time eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate fair market value of all Lots encumbered by the Pope Deed of Trust from time to time.
2. Partial Release. Grantor shall have the right to sell, transfer, and convey title to individual Lots, or to grant a Construction Deed of Trust as to individual Lots, and Beneficiary shall release the lien of the Pope Deed of Trust from title to each Lot so sold, transferred, conveyed, or encumbered concurrently with such transfer and conveyance or encumbrance, provided that (i) Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary the release price ("Release Price") set forth on Exhibit B hereto, subject to adjustment as provided below, (ii) in the case of any sale, transfer, or conveyance of title, each Lot so released shall be sold, transferred, or conveyed in a bona fide sales transaction, (iii) no material default under the Pope Note or Pope Deed of Trust shall have occurred and be continuing, (iv) Grantor shall have given Beneficiary at least seven (7) days prior written notice and shall have complied with all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (v) the partial release shall not impair the validity of the lien of the Pope Deed of Trust as to the remaining Lots. It is expressly understood that the terms of this Section 2
2
shall not apply to the sale, conveyance, or transfer of all or a portion of the Property to an Approved Transferee in accordance with Section 10 of the Pope Deed of Trust.
a. The Release Price shall be paid by Grantor to Beneficiary through an escrow established for the transfer, conveyance or encumbrance of the Lot to be released hereunder, and the amount of the Release Price shall be treated as a payment under the Pope Note, to be applied first to interest accrued under the Pope Note and thereafter to principal.
b. The parties acknowledge that the Release Prices reflect a reasonable allocation among the Lots of the total original principal amount under the Pope Note (increased by twenty percent (20%) to provide for repayment of unpaid principal and accrued interest due under the Pope Note) to each Lot based upon the respective values of the Lots and other relevant factors (such as the state of improvement of each Lot) as of the date of this Agreement. Grantor shall have the right from time to time to propose revisions to the schedule of Release Prices, to which Pope shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent, provided that any revision to the schedule of Release Prices shall not (i) decrease the aggregate of all Release Prices, (ii) impair Beneficiary's security under the Pope Deed of Trust, or (iii) decrease the rate of repayment of amounts due under the Pope Note.
c. It shall be a further condition to the release of any Lot from the lien of the Pope Deed of Trust that Grantor shall provide a written notice to Beneficiary at least seven (7) days prior to the date that Grantor intends to transfer or convey title to such Lot free of the lien created by the Pope Deed of Trust. Such written notice shall specify the Lot to be released hereunder, certification by Grantor that the Lot to be released will be sold, transferred or conveyed in a bona fide sales transaction, and the Release Price to be paid by Grantor to Beneficiary as a condition to the release of lien. Such written notice shall be accompanied by (i) a completed Request for Partial Reconveyance relating to the Lot to be released, and (ii) a proposed form of Beneficiary's escrow instructions to the escrow officer who will close the sale of the Lot. Grantor shall be solely liable for payment of all reconveyance fees and recording fees relating to partial releases of the lien of the Pope Deed of Trust under this Agreement.
3. Repayment of Note. Grantor covenants and agrees, in the case of any sale, transfer, or conveyance of title to any Lot in a bona fide sales transaction, to pay to Grantor upon the closing of such sale, transfer, or conveyance a sum equal to the Release Price applicable to such Lot, in partial repayment of accrued interest, principal, and other amounts due under the Pope Note.
4. Default. Any failure by Grantor to make any payment or to perform or observe any of the obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a default under the Pope Deed of Trust, if (i) in the event of a failure to perform or observe any obligation requiring only the payment of money by Grantor to Beneficiary, such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from Beneficiary, or (ii) in the event of a failure to perform or observe any other obligation under this Agreement, such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice to Grantor from Beneficiary, or for such longer period as may be reasonably required to cure such failure (provided that Grantor promptly commences such cure upon receipt of notice from Beneficiary and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion). In the event of such breach or default, Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided in the Pope Deed of Trust or under law.
5. No Recordation. Neither party shall record this Agreement or any memorandum thereof without the express written consent of the other party.
6. Definitions. Any capitalized term used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same definition as set forth for such term in the Pope Deed of Trust and Pope Note.
7. No Modification. No term or provision of this Agreement is intended to modify any term or provision of the Pope Deed of Trust or Pope Note or to limit or impair the obligations of either party
3
thereunder. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except with a written instrument executed by both parties hereto or their respective successors-in-interest.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Grantor and Beneficiary have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.

POPE RESOURCES ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF PORT LUDLOW RESORT SALE
Pope Resources (Nasdaq: POPEZ) announced today that it has closed the sale of its 1,300 acre Port Ludlow, Washington resort and real estate development assets to Port Ludlow Associates LLC, a new ownership entity formed by HCV Pacific Partners LLC. The resort assets include the 37-room Heron Beach Inn, a 300-slip saltwater marina, a 27-hole championship golf course, conference center, commercial center, RV park, a restaurant/lounge and related facilities, and water and sewer utilities serving the area. The real estate development assets include approximately 100 developed lots and raw land for the development of 450 additional residential lots that will complete the build-out of this master planned resort community.
Total consideration was approximately $16.7 million, of which approximately two-thirds was in cash and one-third in the form of a three-year note. Cash proceeds will be used to pay down debt associated with the Partnership's recent timberland acquisition in southwest Washington.
Pope Resources, a publicly traded limited partnership, and its subsidiary, Olympic Resource Management, own or manage over 600,000 acres of timberland and development property in Washington, Oregon, California, and British Columbia. In addition, it provides forestry consulting and timberland investment management services to third-party owners and managers of timberland. The company and its predecessor companies have owned and managed timberlands and development properties for more than 150 years. Additional information on the company can be found at www.orm.com.
