ALEXANDER & BALDWIN, INC.
EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the
“Plan”) is to retain key employees and to encourage such employees to use their
best business judgment in managing the affairs of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and
its divisions and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”).  Therefore, the
Company is willing to provide the severance benefits described below to protect
these employees if involuntarily terminated without cause or laid off from
employment as part of a job elimination/restructuring or reduction in force.  It
is further intended that this Plan will complement other compensation program
components to assure a sound basis upon which the Company will retain key
employees.
 
Article 1
Definitions and Exclusions

Whenever used in this Plan, the following words and phrases shall have the
meanings set forth below.  When the defined meaning is intended, the term is
capitalized:
 
1.1           “Base Salary” means the total amount of base salary payable to the
participant at the salary rate in effect on the last day of the participant’s
employment with the Company.  Base Salary does not include bonuses, reimbursed
expenses, credits or benefits under any plan of deferred compensation, to which
the Company contributes, or any additional cash compensation or compensation
payable in a form other than cash.
 
1.2           “Board of Directors” shall mean the Board of Directors of the
Company.
 
1.3           “Cause” means termination from employment with the Company upon:
 
1.3(a)              the willful and continued failure by the participant
substantially to perform the participant’s duties with the Company (other than
any such failure resulting from the participant’s incapacity due to physical or
mental Disability).  For the purposes of this subparagraph and subparagraph
1.3(b), no act, or failure to act, on the participant’s part shall be considered
“willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the participant not in good
faith and without reasonable belief by the participant that his/her action or
omission was in the best interest of the Company; or
 
1.3(b)              the willful engaging by the participant in conduct that is
demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise.
 
1.4           “Disability” shall mean that an individual is deemed to be totally
disabled by the Social Security Administration.  

1.5           “Employer” shall mean the Company or the entity for whom services
are performed and with respect to whom the legally binding right to compensation
arises, and all entities with whom the Company would be considered a single
employer under Section 414(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”); provided that in applying Section 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) of the
Code for purposes of determining a controlled group of corporations under
Section 414(b) of the Code, the language “at least 50 percent” is used instead
of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Section 1563(a)(1), (2), and
(3) of the Code, and in applying Treasury Regulation § 1.414(c)-2 for purposes
of determining trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) that are under
common control for purposes of Section 414(c) of the Code, “at least 50 percent”
is used instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Treasury
Regulation § 1.414(c)-2; provided, however, “at least 20 percent” shall replace
“at least 50 percent” in the preceding clause if there is a legitimate business
criteria for using such lower percentage.

1.6           “Identification Date” means each December 31.

1.7           “Key Employee” means a participant who, on an Identification Date,
is:

1.7(a)             An officer of the Company of having annual compensation
greater than the compensation limit in section 416(i)(1)(A)(i) of the Code,
provided that no more than fifty officers of the Company shall be determined to
be Key Employees as of the Identification Date;

1.7(b)              A five percent owner of the Company; or

1.7(c)             A one percent owner of the Company having annual compensation
from the Company of more than $150,000.

If a participant is identified as a Key Employee on an Identification Date, then
such participant shall be considered a Key Employee for purposes of the Plan
during the period beginning on the first April 1 following the Identification
Date and ending on the next March 31.  For purposes of this Section 1.7 only and
for determining whether a participant is a Key Employee, the “Company” shall
mean the Company and its affiliates that are treated as a single employer under
Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code, and for purposes of determining whether a
participant is a Key Employee, Treasury Regulation § 1.415(c)-2(d)(4) shall be
used to calculate compensation.

1.8           “Layoff” means the elimination of a job due to economic reasons,
whether or not as part of job elimination or restructuring, or as a
reduction-in-force affecting one or more positions.  Layoff does not include
resignation from employment or Separation from Service by reason of death,
Disability, or discharge for Cause.  A participant is not considered to have
been laid off, and will not be entitled to severance benefits described in
Article 3, if the Plan Administrator determines, in its discretion, that either
the Company or a purchaser or other successor has offered comparable employment
to the participant to commence after the participant’s Separation from Service,
whether or not the participant accepts the position offered.

1.9           “Separation from Service” shall mean termination of employment
with the Employer, other than due to death.  A participant shall be deemed to
have experienced a Separation from Service if the participant’s service with the
Employer is reduced to an annual rate that is less than fifty percent of the
services rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding three full years
of employment with the Employer (or if employed by the Employer less than three
years, such lesser period).

Article 2
Eligibility for Benefits

2.1           Eligibility.  To be eligible for Plan benefits, employees must
serve in a job categorized as Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. Chief Executive Officer,
Band A, or Band B under the Company’s job evaluation program.  Exceptions
(additions or deletions) to the eligibility requirements can be made only by the
Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. Chief Executive Officer, with the approval of the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”).
 
2.2           Benefits.  Except as provided in Section 2.3, if the participant
experiences an involuntary Separation from Service without Cause or a Separation
from Service because of a Layoff, the Company shall pay to the participant the
severance benefits described in Section 3.1.  (For the purposes of this section,
“involuntary” means a Separation from Service that is due to the independent
exercise of the unilateral authority of the Employer, other than due to the
participant’s request, and where the participant was willing and able to
continue to perform services.)  A participant receiving benefits under this Plan
shall not be eligible for benefits under Alexander & Baldwin Human Resources
Policy No. 1.08, Matson Navigation Company (and its wholly owned subsidiaries)
Personnel Policy Bulletin No. 1.08, or any other or successor separation policy
or policies.
 
2.3           Change in Control.  In the event the Company experiences a “change
in control”, as defined in section 409A of the Code and the final regulations
and any guidance promulgated thereunder, and the Company and a participant have
entered into an agreement concerning a change in control of the Company, the
terms of such agreement, and not this Plan, shall govern.  In such case, no
benefits shall be payable to the participant under this Plan.
 
2.4           Plan Administration.  Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. shall serve as the
Plan Administrator.  The Plan Administrator is responsible for the general
administration and management of this Plan and shall have all powers and duties
necessary to fulfill its responsibilities, including, but not limited to, the
discretion to interpret and apply this Plan and to determine all questions
relating to eligibility for benefits.  This Plan shall be interpreted in
accordance with its terms and their intended meanings.  However, the Plan
Administrator and all plan fiduciaries shall have the discretion to interpret or
construe ambiguous, unclear, or implied (but omitted) terms in any fashion they
deem to be appropriate in their sole discretion, and to make any findings of
fact needed in the administration of this Plan.  The validity of any such
interpretation, construction, decision, or finding of fact shall not be given de
novo review if challenged in court, by arbitration, or in any other forum, and
shall be upheld unless clearly arbitrary or capricious.
 
Article 3
Severance Benefits

3.1           Type and Amount of Benefits.  If severance benefits become payable
under this Plan, benefits shall consist of the following:
 
3.1(a)              Monetary Payments/Reimbursement.  The participant shall
receive an amount equal to six (6) months of the participant’s Base Salary,
one-twelfth of which shall be paid each month for a period of one year,
beginning in the first month following the date of the participant’s Separation
from Service.  Should the participant, prior to his or her Separation from
Service, execute (and not revoke) a release agreement prepared by the Plan
Administrator,  the participant shall receive additional amounts as
follows:  (i) an amount equal to six (6) months of the participant’s Base
Salary, one-twelfth of which shall be paid each month for a period of one year,
beginning in the first month following the date of the participant’s Separation
from Service; (ii) reimbursement for expenses arising from individual
outplacement counseling services (in an amount not to exceed ten thousand
dollars ($10,000.00)) that are incurred no later than 2 years after the date of
the participant’s Separation from Service, and are reimbursed by the Company no
later than 3 years after the date of the participant’s Separation from Service;
and, (iii) a pro rated share of the award opportunity at “Target” under the
Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. One-Year Performance Improvement Incentive Plan and
the Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. Three-Year Performance Improvement Incentive Plan,
as applicable, that otherwise would have been payable to the participant had the
participant remained employed until the end of the applicable performance
period(s) of such plans.  The payment under subsections 3.1(a)(i) and (iii)
shall be payable upon the expiration of the seven-day revocation period
contained in the release agreement prepared by the Plan Administrator and
executed by the participant (i.e., once the release becomes irrevocable);
provided, however, that such payment must be paid no later than 60 days
following the date of the participant’s Separation from Service.  If the release
is not executed and irrevocable by the end of such 60-day period, the
participant shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Plan.  The Company
retains the sole discretion to determine when during the 60-day period the
payment will be made.  If the sum of the amounts to be paid to a participant
under subsections 3.1(a)(i) and (iii) exceeds two times the lesser of (i) the
sum of the participant’s annualized compensation for the taxable year preceding
the year in which the participant experiences a Separation from Service or (ii)
the compensation limit for qualified plans under section 401(a)(17) of the Code
as in effect for the year in which the Separation from Service occurs (the
“Excess”), then, notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the
contrary, any Excess scheduled to be paid upon Separation from Service to a
participant who is identified as a Key Employee as of the date he or she
experiences a Separation from Service shall be delayed for a minimum of six
months following the participant’s Separation from Service.  Any payment of
Excess to a Key Employee delayed under this subsection shall be made on the
first business day after the six-month anniversary of the participant’s
Separation from Service and shall be credited with interest during such
six-month period at a rate computed using 120% of the short-term applicable
federal rate for a semi-annual compounding period under Code Section 1274(d),
applicable for the month in which the participant’s Separation from Service
occurs, provided that such interest rate shall not exceed 120% of the long-term
applicable federal interest rate under Code Section 1274(d).  The identification
of a participant as a Key Employee shall be made by the Company in accordance
with Section 1.7 of the Plan and sections 416(i) and 409A of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
3.1(b)              Benefits.  For the period that separation payments continue
under subparagraph 3.1(a) above, or until the participant becomes employed with
another employer offering any such benefits (whichever is earlier), Basic Group
Life Insurance and Basic Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance shall
continue as they were in effect for the participant on the date of the
participant’s termination of employment.
 
    3.1(b)(i)                   Group Medical, Dental, Drug and Vision
Coverage.  For a maximum period of twelve (12) months following Separation from
Service, or until the participant becomes employed with another employer
offering any such benefits (whichever is earlier), the Company shall reimburse
the participant for the amount of the premiums payable by the participant for
post-termination continuation under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”).  Payment of premiums for COBRA
coverage beyond twelve (12) months following Separation from Service is the sole
responsibility of the participant.
 
3.2           Death Benefits.  If the participant dies during the severance
benefit period, the severance benefits as described in this Article 3 that have
not yet been paid shall be paid to the participant’s designated beneficiary in a
lump sum within 60 days following the participant’s death.  Any beneficiary
designation must be provided to the Company in writing by the participant, prior
to his or her death.
 
3.3           Committee Discretion.  The severance benefits as described in this
Article 3 may be increased or decreased by the Committee in its absolute
discretion.  Such adjustments may be applied selectively with respect to one or
more individual participants.
 
Article 4
Employment Status

4.1           Right to Terminate Employment.  This Plan shall not be deemed to
constitute an employment contract between the Company and the
participant.  Nothing contained herein shall give the participant the right to
be retained in the employ of the Company or to interfere with the right of the
Company to discharge the participant at any time, nor shall it give the Company
the right to require the participant to remain in its employ or to interfere
with the participant’s right to terminate employment at any time.
 
4.2           Status During Benefit Period.  Commencing upon the date of the
participant’s Separation from Service, the participant shall cease to be an
employee of the Company for any purpose.  The payment of severance benefits
under this Plan shall be payments to a former employee.
 
Article 5
Claims and Review Procedures

applicable ERISA regulations) to the claimant’s claim for benefits.
 
5.2(c)              Timing of  Plan Administrator Response.  The Plan

conclusive upon all persons.

receive Plan benefits finally determined by the Plan Administrator but unpaid at
the time of such termination or amendment.
