 AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK 
 SELECT DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 
 (Restatement Effective January 1, 2009) 
 ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION 
 1.1
Restatement of Plan. AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK, F.S.B. (the “Bank”), hereby restates the American Savings Bank Select Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Except as otherwise noted, this restatement
(“Restatement”) is effective as of the Plan Year commencing January 1, 2009 for all amounts deferred after December 31, 2004. This Restatement is intended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code (“Code”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. For the period between December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2009, this Plan has been operated in good faith compliance with Section 409A and such regulations. 

1.2 Continuing Effectiveness of 2004 Restatement. The Plan was originally effective May 1, 2000 and restated on September 22, 2004
(the “2004 Restatement”). The 2004 Restatement, as set forth in Exhibit A to this Plan, shall be maintained as a separate and distinct portion of the Plan and shall remain effective for all amounts deferred prior to January 1, 2005,
together with net earnings thereon. Such amounts shall include Bonus that was payable in 2005 with respect to services performed in 2004 and that was credited to Participants’ Deferral Contribution Accounts in 2005 pursuant to deferral
elections validly made in 2004 under the 2004 Restatement. 
 1.3 Relationship between this Restatement and 2004 Restatement. The
intention of maintaining the 2004 Restatement as a separate portion of the Plan is to “grandfather” deferrals made prior to January 1, 2005 as permitted by Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder. Accordingly, deferrals subject to the provisions of this Restatement and deferrals subject to the provisions of the 2004 Restatement shall be accounted for separately and shall be treated as benefits arising under separate portions of
the Plan. In furtherance of such treatment, the term, “Plan,” shall hereinafter be reserved to refer only to the portion of the Plan as it exists under this Restatement, and the term, “2004 Plan,” shall refer only to the portion
of the Plan as it continues to exist under the 2004 Restatement. In no event shall an amendment to the Plan materially enhance benefits or rights existing as of October 3, 2004 under the 2004 Restatement or add a new material benefit or right
affecting amounts earned and vested before January 1, 2005, except as may be permitted under Section 1.409A-6(a)(4) of the Treasury Regulations or its successor. 
 1.4 Purpose of Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide Participants an opportunity to defer compensation that would otherwise be currently
payable to them. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended (“ERISA”). 
  

 1 








 ARTICLE 2. DEFINITIONS 
 2.1 For purposes of this Plan, the following phrases or terms shall have the meanings indicated: 
  

	 	(a)	“Account Balance” shall mean, as of any given date called for under the Plan, the balance of the Participant’s Deferral Contribution Account as such account has been
adjusted to reflect all applicable Investment Adjustments and all prior withdrawals and distributions in accordance with Article 4 of the Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	“Affiliate” shall mean any corporation or other entity or business that is required to be treated as a single employer with the Bank under Section 414 of the Code.


  

	 	(c)	“Asset Purchase Termination” shall mean a Termination of Employment with the Employer owing to a transfer of employment incident to the sale or other transfer of
substantial assets by the Employer, such as a plant or division or substantially all the assets of a trade or business, to an unrelated buyer in a bona fide, arm’s length transaction, provided that all employees whose employment is transferred
from the Employer to the unrelated buyer are consistently treated for purposes of any applicable nonqualified deferred compensation plan and the treatment of such transfer of employment as a Termination of Employment is specified in writing by the
parties to the asset purchase transaction no later than the closing date of that transaction. 

  

	 	(d)	“Bank” shall mean American Savings Bank, F.S.B., and any successor. 

  

	 	(e)	“Beneficiary” shall mean one or more persons, trusts, estates or other entities designated by the Participant in accordance with Article 7 to receive the
Participant’s undistributed Account Balance in the event of the Participant’s death. 

  

	 	(f)	“Beneficiary Designation Form” shall mean the document which shall be used by the Participant to designate the Participant’s Beneficiary for the Plan.


  

	 	(g)	“Benefit Distribution Date” shall mean the date on which distribution of the Participant’s Account Balance is triggered due to Termination of Employment, Retirement,
death, or Disability. 

  

	 	(h)	“Board of Directors” shall mean the board of directors of the Bank. 

  

	 	(i)	 “Bonus” shall mean performance based compensation payable under any plan or arrangement sponsored by the Employer or an Affiliate that is eligible for
deferral under this Plan. “Performance based compensation” is any compensation, the amount of which or the entitlement to which, is contingent on the satisfaction of organizational or individual performance criteria relating to a
performance period of at least twelve (12) consecutive months. Performance based compensation is 



  

 2 









	 	 
“eligible for deferral under this Plan” if the relevant organizational or individual performance criteria are pre-established, and the compensation
has been so designated by the Committee. Organizational or individual performance criteria are considered pre-established if established in writing by not later than ninety (90) days after the commencement of the period of service to which the
criteria relate, provided that the outcome of the application of the criteria is substantially uncertain at the time that the criteria are established. Bonus does not include any amount or portion of any amount that will be paid either regardless of
performance, or based upon a level of performance that is substantially certain to be met at the time the criteria are established. Bonus shall not include Salary, Commissions, stock-related awards and other non-monetary incentives, and such other
incentive items as may be excluded from the definition of “Bonus” by the Committee in its sole discretion. As of the date of this Restatement, and subject to the decisions of the Committee from time-time-time, Bonus includes, but is not
limited to, compensation payable under the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (“EICP”) and the Performance Bonus Plan (“PBP”), provided that such compensation otherwise meets the requirements of this definition, and further
provided that Special Recognition Awards or awards paid on multi-year performance periods under the PBP are excluded. Without limiting the programs and types of other performance based compensation excluded from Bonus, “Bonus” excludes
compensation payable under the Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan. 


  

	 	(j)	“Change in Control” shall mean the earliest to occur of the following dates: 

  


	 	(1)	a change in ownership, defined as the acquisition by any one person (or more than one person acting as a group) of stock of the Bank that, together with stock held by such person or
group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Bank; 

  

	 	(2)	a change in effective control, defined as the acquisition during any 12-month period by any one person (or more than one person acting as a group) of stock of the Bank comprising
thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Bank, or the replacement, during any 12-month period, of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors with directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed
by the majority of the members of the Board of Directors before the date of such appointment or election; and 

  

	 	(3)	 a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Bank’s assets, defined as the acquisition by any one person (or more than one person acting as a group)
during the 12 month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons, of assets of the Bank that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair
market value of all of the assets of the Bank 



  

 3 









	 	 
immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions (determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets). 



Whether a Change in Control has occurred for purposes of this Plan shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A-3(i)(5)
of the Treasury Regulations or its successor. A Change in Control with respect to the Bank shall be deemed to occur if the majority shareholder of the Bank experiences a Change in Control as defined in (1), (2) or (3), above. 
  

	 	(k)	“Claimant” shall mean the person or persons described in Section 10.1 who apply for benefits or amounts that may be payable under the Plan. 


 

	 	(l)	“Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. References to the Code shall include references to any successor section or provision of the Code.


  

	 	(m)	“Commissions” shall mean compensation or portions of compensation earned by an employee that is based upon the direct sale of a product or a service to a customer
unrelated to either the Employer or the employee, that consists of either (i) a portion of the purchase price for the product or service or (ii) an amount, substantially all of which is calculated by reference to the volume of sales, and
for which payment is contingent upon the employee’s (or Employer’s or other unrelated third party’s) receiving payment from the customer for the product or service. For purposes of this Plan, an employee earning Commissions is treated
as providing the services to which such Commissions relate in the year in which the customer remits payment for such product or service. 

  

	 	(n)	“Committee” shall mean the Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. Total Compensation Administrative Committee, as organized and operated pursuant to charter adopted on
September 18, 2007, as the same may be amended from time to time. 

  

	 	(o)	“Contributions” shall refer, collectively, to any and all Deferral Contributions. 

  

	 	(p)	“Death Benefit” shall mean the benefit set forth in Section 6.6. 

  

	 	(q)	 “Deferral Agreement” shall mean a form prescribed by the Committee pursuant to which a Participant may elect to defer, with respect to a Performance
Period, receipt of a certain percentage of Salary, Bonus or Commissions to be earned in the Performance Period and to contribute such percentage of such items of compensation to the Plan as Deferral Contributions. At the same time as the Deferral
Agreement is made, and as part of making such agreement, the Participant shall specify the form in which such Deferral Contributions shall be distributed in the event of Retirement. The Participant shall also have the option in the Deferral
Agreement of specifying that a percentage of such Deferral Contributions shall be distributed in a lump sum upon an Interim Distribution 



  

 4 









	 	 
Date selected by the Participant, rather than upon the Benefit Distribution Date. A Deferral Agreement shall be made and become irrevocable in accordance
with Section 3.3 and is effective only if timely made. As of the date of this Restatement, the Plan recognizes Salary Deferral Agreements, Commissions Deferral Agreements and Bonus Deferral Agreements. 


  

	 	(r)	“Deferral Contribution Account” shall mean an account to record a Participant’s aggregate Deferral Contributions, as adjusted for Investment Adjustments and any
distributions. The Deferral Contribution Account shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement of amounts to be paid to the Participant under the Plan. The Deferral Contribution Account shall not constitute or be treated as an escrow,
trust fund, or any other type of funded account for purposes of the Code or ERISA, and contingent amounts credited thereto shall not be considered “plan assets” for ERISA purposes. The Deferral Contribution Account merely provides a record
of the bookkeeping entries relating to the contingent benefits that the Employer promises to pay to a Participant and shall thus constitute merely an unsecured promise to pay such amounts in the future 

  

	 	(s)	“Deferral Contributions” shall mean the amounts of Salary, Commissions and Bonus deferred by a Participant with respect to a Plan Year and “credited” to the
Participant’s Deferral Contribution Account, and shall include Investment Adjustments thereon. Deferral Contributions shall be deemed to be made to the Plan by the Participant on the dates on which the Participant would have received such
compensation had it not been deferred pursuant to the Plan and shall be allocated to Hypothetical Investments pursuant to the Participant’s then effective Investment Allocation and/or Reallocation Election as soon as administratively feasible.


  

	 	(t)	“Deferral Election” shall mean a Participant’s act of timely completing and filing a Deferral Agreement with the Committee. Except as otherwise provided in Article 5,
a Deferral Election with respect to a Performance Period is irrevocable, and, except in the case of Special Bonus Deferral Elections, a Deferral Election must be made before the first day of the Performance Period. 

  

	 	(u)	“Disability” shall mean that the Participant is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment
that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. The Participant shall be deemed to have a Disability if the Participant is determined to be totally disabled by the Social
Security Administration or if the Participant is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving
income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Employer. 

  

	 	(v)	“Disability Benefit” shall mean the benefit set forth in Section 6.7. 

  

 5 









	 	(w)	“Early Retirement” shall mean retirement on the date on which a Participant attains age 55 or on any date after such date and prior to the Participant’s attainment of
Normal Retirement Age. 

  

	 	(x)	“Elective Contributions” shall mean reductions of a Participant’s Salary, Commissions or Bonus for amounts voluntarily deferred by the Participant pursuant to any
qualified or nonqualified deferred compensation or welfare or fringe benefit plan, including, without limitation, amounts deferred pursuant to Code Sections 125, 132(f), 402(e)(3) and 402(h), provided, however, that all such amounts would have been
payable to the Participant in cash had there been no such deferral. Elective Contributions shall be deemed to include any amounts not available to a participant in cash under a 125 plan in lieu of group health coverage because the Participant is
unable to certify that he or she has other health coverage, provided that the Employer does not request or collect information regarding Participants’ other health coverage as part of the enrollment process for group health coverage except to
the extent required to satisfy legal requirements imposed by the State of Hawaii pursuant to the Prepaid Health Care Act. 

  

	 	(y)	“Employer” shall mean the Bank and any Affiliate that has been selected by the Board of Directors to participate in the Plan and has adopted the Plan.


  

	 	(z)	“Enrollment Forms” shall mean the Participation Agreement, the Deferral Agreement(s), the Beneficiary Designation Form, the Investment Allocation and/or Reallocation
Election and any other forms or documents which may be required of a Participant by the Committee, in its sole discretion, as a condition of participating in the Plan. 

  

	 	(aa)	“ERISA” shall mean the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. References herein to any section of ERISA shall include references to any successor
section or provision of ERISA. 

  

	 	(bb)	 “Highly Compensated Employee” with respect to a Plan Year (the “Eligibility Year”) shall mean an employee whose W-2 compensation for the
preceding Plan Year is equal to at least 120% of the taxable wage base for that year and whose compensation is not expected to decline below 120% of the taxable wage base in the Eligibility Year. If the “preceding Plan Year” for purposes
of the preceding sentence has not yet been completed, then W-2 compensation for the preceding Plan Year shall be projected, if necessary, on the basis of any reasonable method. For example, in the case of elections required to be made by continuing
Participants prior to the first day of the Plan Year pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(ii), “Highly Compensated Employees” shall mean employees who, as of the date of Deferral Elections made pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(ii), either have
earned or are reasonably projected to earn W-2 compensation that is equal to at least 120% of the taxable wage base for the year in which the elections are made and whose compensation is not expected to decline below 120% of the taxable wage base in




  

 6 









	 	 
the Eligibility Year. In the case of an employee who was or will have been employed for less than twelve months in the Plan Year preceding the Eligibility
Year, the employee’s W-2 compensation shall be annualized by multiplying the employee’s actual or projected compensation for such year times a fraction, the denominator of which is the employee’s months of employment in the preceding
Plan Year (including fractional months) and the numerator of which is twelve. In the case of an employee who was not employed by the Employer in the preceding Plan Year, the employee’s projected W-2 compensation from the Employer for the
Eligibility Year and the taxable wage base for such year shall be employed for purposes of the rule stated in the first sentence of this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, eligibility to participate in the Plan is not
established merely by meeting the definition of “Highly Compensated Employee” but is subject to all provisions of this Plan, including selection for eligibility by the Bank, in its sole discretion, pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the
Plan. The Committee may prescribe rules different from those stated in this Section for the determination of “Highly Compensated Employee,” provided, however, that, in the reasonable opinion of the Committee, such rules satisfy the
requirements of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. 


  

	 	(cc)	“Hypothetical Investment” shall mean an investment fund or benchmark made available to Participants by the Committee for the purpose of valuing Deferral Contribution
Accounts. 

  

	 	(dd)	“Interim Distribution” shall mean the benefit distributed on an Interim Distribution Date. 

  

	 	(ee)	“Interim Distribution Date” shall mean a date selected by the Participant on which a designated portion of Deferral Contributions attributable to a Plan Year shall be
distributed to the Participant in a lump sum payment, provided that an Interim Distribution Date shall be the first day of a Plan Year and may not occur sooner than the fifth anniversary of the first day of the Plan Year with respect to the which
the Deferral Election is made. An Interim Distribution Date may be selected only at the time that the Participant makes a Deferral Election with respect to a Plan Year and becomes irrevocable when the Deferral Election becomes irrevocable.


  

	 	(ff)	 “Investment Adjustment(s)” shall mean any appreciation credited to a Participant’s Deferral Contribution Account as income or gains, or depreciation
deducted from such Account as losses, in accordance with such Participant’s selection of Hypothetical Investments pursuant to the Participant’s currently effective Investment Allocation and/or Reallocation Election. Investment Adjustments
shall be determined with respect to a period on the basis of the total rate of return (including increases or decreases in fair market value) that would apply if the Participant’s Deferral Contribution Account had actually been invested in the
Hypothetical Investments selected by the Participant. An Investment Adjustment may be made in relation to a Hypothetical Investment

subsequent Election. A new Investment Allocation and/or Reallocation Election may be filed by the Participant electronically, telephonically, in a writing on paper or by such other means as may be prescribed by the Committee, on a monthly or such
other basis as the Committee may determine. Provided that such filing is timely and otherwise proper, it shall be given effect as soon as administratively feasible. An Investment Allocation and/or Reallocation Election shall be deemed timely if

	 	(hh)	“Management Employee” with respect to a Plan Year shall mean an employee, who, in the reasonable opinion of the Committee, possesses duties and responsibilities at
management level and above. An employee at the level of Vice President and above shall be presumed to be a Management Employee for purposes of this definition so long as the employee possesses duties and responsibilities which, in substance, are
consistent with his or her title. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, eligibility to participate in the Plan is not established merely by meeting the definition of “Management Employee” but is subject to all
provisions of this Plan, including selection for eligibility by the Bank, in its sole discretion, pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Plan. The Committee may prescribe rules different from those stated in this Section for the determination of
“Management Employee,” provided, however, that, in the reasonable opinion of the Committee, such rules satisfy the requirements of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. 

  

	 	(ii)	“Mid-Year Deferral Election” shall mean a Deferral Election made on or after the first day of the Plan Year.

Plan. Such Plan Year is the Plan Year next following a Regular Deferral Election, the Plan Year in which a Special Bonus Deferral Election is made, or so much of the Plan Year as remains after the effective date of a Mid-Year Deferral Election. The
determination of the Performance Period is subject to the following distinctions: 

  

	 	(i)	for Salary, the Performance Period is the Plan Year in which compensable services are performed and in which payment for such services is made, provided, however, that Salary earned
in the final payroll period of a Plan Year but not paid until the first payday of the next Plan Year, is deemed to be earned in the next Plan Year; 

  

	 	(ii)	for Commissions, the Performance Period is deemed to be the Plan Year in which the Commissions are paid; 

  

	 	(iii)	for Bonus, the Performance Period is the Plan Year in which compensable services are performed, even though the Bonus is awarded and is payable in a later year.

	 	(tt)	 “Select Group” for purposes of the phrase, “Select Group of Management or Highly Compensated Employees,” means a group of employees, each of
whom is a Management Employee or Highly Compensated Employee, who have been designated as eligible to participate in this Plan by the Committee pursuant to Section 3.1(a) hereof, and whose total number does not exceed twelve per cent
(12%) of the Bank’s total workforce, considering all of such eligible employees and not only those who elect to participate in this Plan. Upon good cause and to the extent permissible under applicable law, including ERISA, the Committee
may grant exceptions to the foregoing limitation on the total number of employees who may be designated as members of the Select Group, provided that the total number of employees so designated shall in no event exceed fifteen percent (15%) of
the Bank’s total workforce or such other limit on participation as may be applicable under ERISA, U.S. Department of Labor or Treasury Regulations, or judicial determination. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall adopt whatever rules it
may deem necessary, appropriate, or desirable to maintain the Select Group within the applicable size limitation, including, but not limited to, giving preference for eligibility to continuing Participants, Management Employees, or Highly
Compensated Employees, or ranking employees within subgroups or within the Select Group by compensation, title, longevity, or any 



  

 10 









	 	 
other variable deemed relevant by the Committee. For purposes of this section, “Bank’s total workforce” shall be broadly construed, including
all common law, casual, contract, and leased employees. The Committee may prescribe rules different from those stated in this Section for the determination of “Select Group,” provided, however, that, in the reasonable opinion of the
Committee, such rules satisfy the requirements of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, eligibility to participate in the Plan is not established merely by being includable in a
Select Group but is subject to all provisions of this Plan, including selection for eligibility by the Bank, in its sole discretion. 


  

	 	(uu)	“Separation from Service” shall mean a termination of the employment relationship with the Employer on account of death, Disability, Retirement or other Termination of
Employment. The employment relationship is treated as continuing and the employee will not be deemed to have separated from service while the employee is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave
does not exceed six months or, if longer, so long as the employee retains a right to reemployment with the Employer under an applicable statute or by contract. For purposes of this rule, a leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence
only if there is a reasonable expectation that the employee will return to perform services for the Employer. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the employee does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by
contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such six-month period. 

  

	 	(vv)	“Specified Employee” shall mean an employee who meets the requirements of the Default Specified Employee Rule, unless the Bank and its Affiliates have adopted a Controlled
Group Specified Employee Rule. In the latter event, “Specified Employee” shall mean an employee who meets the requirements of the Controlled Group Specified Employee Rule. 

  

	 	(i)	Default Specified Employee Rule. An employee meets the requirements of the Default Specified Employee Rule if, as of the date of the employee’s Separation from Service,
the employee is a key employee of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., or, if stock of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. is not then publicly traded, of the Bank or any Affiliate, if the stock of such person is then publicly traded. An employee is a
“key employee” for purposes of this definition if the employee meets the requirements of Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii), or (iii) of the Code (applied in accordance with the regulations thereunder and disregarding
Section 416(i)(5)) at any time during the 12-month period ending on a specified employee identification date. An employee described by the preceding sentence shall be treated as a Specified Employee for the entire 12-month period beginning on
the specified employee effective date. 

  

 11 









	 	(A)	Definition of Compensation. For purposes of the Default Specified Employee Rule the definition of compensation under Section 1.415(c)-2(a) of the Treasury Regulations
shall be used, applied as if the Employer were not using any safe harbor provided in Section 1.415(c)-2(d), any of the special timing rules provided in Section 1.415(c)-2(e), and any of the special rules provided in
Section 1.415(c)-2(g). 

  

	 	 (B)
	 Specified Employee Identification Date. The specified employee identification date is
December 31st. 


  

	 	(C)	Specified Employee Effective Date. The specified employee effective date is the first day of the fourth month following the specified employee identification date.


  

	 	(D)	Corporate Transactions. 

  

	 	(I)	Mergers and Acquisitions of Public Companies. If the Employer merges with another company, stock of which is publicly traded, or acquires or is acquired by such a company,
the next specified employee identification date and next specified employee effective date shall be those of the survivor or acquirer. For the period preceding such dates, Specified Employees shall be the top 50 employees (including any 1% or 5%
owners described in Section 416(i)(1)(ii) or (iii) of the Code) of the combined Specified Employee lists of the merged and surviving or acquired and acquiring companies, ranked in terms of compensation or otherwise reasonably determined.


  

	 	(II)	Mergers and Acquisitions Involving Non-Public Companies. In a merger or acquisition involving the Employer and a company that is not publicly traded or, if neither the
Employer nor an Affiliate is then publicly traded, the Employer and a publicly traded company, the next specified employee identification date and next specified employee effective date shall be those that the publicly traded company involved in the
transaction would have been required to use absent the transaction. For the period preceding such dates, “Specified Employees” shall continue to be the Specified Employees of the company that was publicly traded prior to the transaction.


  

	 	(III)	 Spinoffs. If the Employer spins off a subsidiary or business operations that become publicly traded and the Employer or any Affiliate remains publicly
traded, then the next 



  

 12 









	 	 
specified employee identification date and next specified employee effective date of each of the Employer and the spun off entity shall be those that would
have applied to the Employer absent the spinoff. For the period preceding such dates, “Specified Employees” shall continue to be the employees who were the pre-spinoff Specified Employees of the Employer. 


  

	 	(IV)	Definitions of Terms. For purposes of terms used in this Subsection (D), the definitions under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations, or its successor, shall
apply. 

  

	 	(E)	Nonresident alien employees. For purposes of determining whether an employee is a key employee, Section 1.415(c)-2(g)(5) applies. Therefore, compensation for purposes of
such determination shall include compensation excludible from an employee’s gross income due to the location of the services or the identity of the employer. 

  

	 	(ii)	Controlled Group Specified Employee Rule. Employers are permitted to make certain elections under Sections 1.409A-1(i)(2)-(7) of the Treasury Regulations with respect to
the determination of Specified Employees. Such elections made by the Employer or any Affiliate, including Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., with respect to the determination of Specified Employees shall be effective for the determination of
Specified Employees under this Plan, and the Default Specified Employee Rule shall not apply, as of the date that all necessary corporate actions have been taken by the Bank and all Affiliates of the Bank to make such elections binding upon this
Plan and all nonqualified deferred compensation plans of the Bank and any Affiliate which include, as participants, employees who would become Specified Employees owing to the application of such elections. Otherwise, the Default Specified Employee
Rule shall apply. 

  

	 	(ww)	“Termination of Employment Benefit” shall mean the benefit set forth in Section 6.4. 

  

	 	(xx)	“Termination of Employment” shall mean a voluntary or involuntary Separation from Service for any reason other than Retirement, Disability or death. Terminations of
Employment include Asset Purchase Terminations. 

  

	 	(yy)	“Trust” shall mean a grantor trust which meets the requirements of Revenue Procedure 92-64, 1992-2 C.B. 422, or successor authority and is commonly referred to as a
“rabbi trust.” 

  

	 	(zz)	 “Unforeseeable Emergency” shall mean a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the 



  

 13 









	 	 
Participant’s spouse or beneficiary, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, without regard to Sections
152(b)(1), (b)(2) or (d)(1)(B)); loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, not as a result of a natural disaster); or
other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. For example, the imminent foreclosure of or eviction from the Participant’s primary residence may constitute an
unforeseeable emergency. In addition, the need to pay for medical expenses, including non-refundable deductibles, as well as for the costs of prescription drug medication, may constitute an unforeseeable emergency. Finally, the need to pay for the
funeral expenses of a spouse, a beneficiary, or a dependent (as defined in Section 152, without regard to Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), or (d)(1)(B)) may also constitute an unforeseeable emergency. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section, the purchase of a home and the payment of college tuition are not unforeseeable emergencies.

 3.1 Eligibility. 
  

	 	(a)	General. Employees who are determined by the Bank to be includable in a Select Group of Management or Highly Compensated Employees of the Bank and are specifically approved
for participation by the Bank, in its sole discretion, shall be eligible to make Deferral Elections under this Plan. Continued eligibility to make Deferral Elections, year-by-year, shall be conditioned upon a Participant’s continuing to meet
the requirements of the Plan, including, but not limited to, continuing to be includable in a Select Group of Management or Highly Compensated Employees of the Bank. 

  

	 	(b)	Effective Date of Eligibility for Newly Eligible Employees. The effective date of eligibility for a newly eligible employee shall be either the date on which the employee is
given notice of eligibility to participate by the Committee or, in the discretion of the Committee, the date of commencement of the enrollment period for Regular Deferral Elections for the Plan Year next following the date on which the employee is
given notice of eligibility to participate. 

  

	 	(c)	Newly Eligible Employees. An employee who first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan with respect to a Plan Year that either has already commenced or will commence in
30 days or less shall be entitled to make a Mid-Year Deferral Election. All other newly eligible employees shall participate in the Plan through Regular Deferral Elections. For purposes of this rule, an employee who, prior to the effective date of
the employee’s eligibility to participate in this Plan, is eligible to participate in a nonqualified deferred compensation plan of the Employer or any Affiliate that is an elective account plan shall not be deemed to be a newly eligible
employee and shall not be entitled to make a Mid-Year Deferral Election. 

  

	 	(d)	Breaks in Eligibility. If a Participant ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan (other than through accrual of earnings) and subsequently becomes eligible to
participate again, the employee shall be treated as being a newly eligible employee if the employee had not been eligible to participate in the Plan (other than through accrual of earnings) at any time during the 24-month period ending on the
effective date of the employee’s eligibility to participate. 

  

	 	(e)	Continuing Eligibility. An employee is deemed to be eligible to participate in the Plan with respect to any Performance Period for which the employee is or was eligible to
make a Deferral Election, regardless of whether the employee makes such a Deferral Election. 

 3.2 Participation. To
initiate participation in this Plan or to continue participation with respect to a new Plan Year, a newly eligible employee or a continuing Participant shall make a Deferral Election in accordance with the requirements of this Plan. 
  

 15 








 3.3 Deferral Elections. 
  

	 	 (a)
	 General. A Deferral Election shall be made within the period established by the Committee, provided that, except
in the case of Special Bonus Deferral Elections, a Deferral Election must be made, and shall become irrevocable, no later than the end of the day before the first day of the Performance Period with respect to which the Deferral Election is made. For
example, Regular Deferral Elections with respect to a new Plan Year must be made and become irrevocable no later than December 31st of the
preceding Plan Year. 


  

	 	(b)	Elements of Deferral Elections. A Participant shall set forth in a Deferral Election elections as to: 

  

	 	(i)	the percentage to be deferred of the Salary, Commissions or Bonus to be earned by the Participant in the Performance Period and to be contributed to the Plan as Deferral
Contributions; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the form of payment for the distribution of such Deferral Contributions in the event of Retirement. 

 In addition, a Participant may select an Interim Distribution Date and, in that event, shall specify the date of such Interim Distribution and the
portion of the Deferral Contributions to be distributed on such date. 
  

	 	(c)	How made. A Deferral Election shall be made by timely completing and returning a Deferral Agreement to the Committee. Failure to complete and file other Enrollment Forms
shall not render the timely filing of a Deferral Agreement ineffective. 

  

	 	(d)	Types of Deferral Elections, When Made and When Effective. The Plan recognizes Mid-Year Deferral Elections, Regular Deferral Elections and Special Bonus Deferral Elections.
Deferral Elections shall be made and shall become irrevocable within the time periods designated by the Committee, which shall be no later than the dates specified below: 

  

	 	 (i)
	 Mid-Year Deferral Elections. A Mid-Year Deferral Election must be made within 30 days of the date on which an
employee becomes eligible to participate and shall become irrevocable no later than the end of such 30th day. The employee shall commence
participation in the Plan and the Deferral Election shall become effective on the first day of the month next following the date on which the Deferral Election is made. Examples: 


  

	 	(A)	An employee becomes eligible to participate on June 16, 2008, and makes a Deferral Election on June 20, 2008. The employee’s Deferral Election is effective and the
employee becomes an active Participant on July 1, 2008. 

  

 16 









	 	(B)	Same facts, except that the employee makes a Deferral Election on July 1, 2008. The employee’s Deferral Election is effective and the employee becomes an active
Participant on August 1, 2008. 

  

	 	(C)	Same facts, except that the employee fails to make a Deferral Election prior to July 17, 2008. The employee may not make a Deferral Election with respect to the 2008 Plan Year,
and any attempt by the employee to make such an election is ineffective and invalid. 

  

	 	(ii)	Regular Deferral Elections. A Regular Deferral Election shall be made within the time established by the Committee but, in any event, must be made prior to the first day of
the next Plan Year. A Regular Deferral Election shall be effective as of the first day of the next Plan Year. Examples: 

  

	 	(A)	A Participant makes a Deferral Election within the time period established by the Committee (which, in all events, shall end before the first day of the next Plan Year). The
Participant’s Deferral Election is effective on the first day of the next Plan Year. 

  

	 	 (B)
	 The Committee requires Deferral Elections to be made by December 31st with respect to the next Plan Year. A Participant seeks to make a Deferral Election on January 1st of the next Plan Year. The Deferral Election is invalid and ineffective, and the Participant may not participate in the Plan for that Plan Year. 


  

	 	(iii)	Special Bonus Deferral Elections. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall have the discretion to authorize Special Bonus Deferral
Elections. For such purpose, the Committee shall establish a Special Election Period for Bonus which shall end not later than the last day of the sixth month after the start of the Plan Year to which the Special Election Period relates, provided
that Bonus is not ascertainable at any time during the Special Election Period and provided, further, that Participants making such Special Bonus Deferral Elections have performed services continuously from the later of the beginning of the
performance period or the date the performance criteria are established through the date that the Special Bonus Deferral Elections are made. An employee who makes a Mid-Year Deferral Election may not make a Special Bonus Deferral Election.


  

	 	(e)	Types of Compensation to which Deferral Elections are Applicable and How Applied. A Participant may elect to defer a percentage of one or more of Salary, Commissions and
Bonus. 

  

	 	(i)	Salary Deferral Elections 

  

 17 









	 	(A)	Regular Salary Deferral Election. A Regular Salary Deferral Election that is timely made shall apply on a payroll basis to all Salary paid for services performed in the Plan
Year. 

  

	 	(B)	Mid-Year Salary Deferral Election. A Mid-Year Salary Deferral Election that is timely made shall apply on a payroll basis to all Salary paid with respect to services
performed on and after the effective date of the Mid-Year Salary Deferral Election through the end of the Plan Year. 

  

	 	(ii)	Commissions Deferral Elections 

  

	 	(E)	Regular Deferral Election. A Regular Commissions Deferral Election that is timely made shall apply on a payroll basis to all Commissions paid in the Plan Year.


  

	 	(F)	Mid-Year Deferral Election. A Mid-Year Commissions Deferral Election that is timely made shall apply on a payroll basis to all Commissions paid on and after the effective
date of the Mid-Year Commissions Deferral Election date though the end of the Plan Year. 

  

	 	(iii)	Bonus Deferral Elections 

  

	 	(A)	Regular Bonus Deferral Election. A Regular Bonus Deferral Election that is timely made shall apply to Bonus awarded for services performed in the Plan Year, though such Bonus
is not payable until after the Performance Period ends. 

  

	 	(B)	Mid-Year Bonus Deferral Election. A Mid-Year Bonus Deferral Election shall apply to the portion of the Bonus allocable to services performed on and after the effective date
of the Mid-Year Bonus Deferral Election. Such portion of a Participant’s Bonus shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the days in the Performance Period on and after the effective date of the Mid-Year Bonus Deferral Election
and the denominator of which is the total number of days of the Plan Year, as applicable to the Participant. Examples: 

  

	 	(I)	 An employee is hired on June 16, 2008, and begins to perform services and becomes eligible to participate in the Plan on that date. The employee makes a
Mid-Year Bonus Deferral Election prior to July 1, 2008. The Mid-Year Bonus Deferral Election is effective as of July 1, 2008 with respect to that portion of the 2008 Bonus allocable to 



  

 18 









	 	 
services performed on and after July 1, 2008. Such portion is determined by multiplying the total Bonus payable to the Participant for 2008 by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in the 2008 Performance Period as of July 1, 2008 (184) and the denominator of which is the number of days in the 2008 Plan Year, as applicable to the Participant
(i.e., on and after June 16, 2008, or 199). 


  

	 	(II)	Same facts except the individual makes a Mid-Year Bonus Deferral Election on or after July 1, 2008, but within 30 days of June 16, 2008. The Mid-Year Bonus Deferral
Election is effective with respect to that portion of the 2008 Bonus allocable to services performed on and after August 1, 2008. 

  

	 	(III)	An employee performs services from January 1, 2008 onwards and becomes eligible to participate in the Plan on June 16, 2008. The employee makes a Mid-Year Bonus Deferral
Election prior to July 1, 2008. The employee’s Mid-Year Bonus Deferral Election is effective as of July 1, 2008 with respect to that portion of the 2008 Bonus allocable to services performed on and after July 1, 2008. Such
portion is determined by multiplying the total Bonus payable to the Participant for 2008 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in the 2008 Performance Period as of July 1, 2008 (184) and the denominator of
which is the number of days in the 2008 Plan Year, as applicable to the Participant (366). 

  

	 	(C)	Special Bonus Deferral Election. A Special Bonus Deferral Election shall be effective as of the first day of a Participant’s participation in the Plan with respect to
the Plan Year and shall apply to the portion of the Bonus awarded for services performed on and after such date. Example: A Participant performs services continuously from the first day of the Plan Year and makes a timely Special Bonus Deferral
Election in June, 2008. All of the Participant’s 2008 Bonus is subject to the Special Bonus Deferral Election. 

  

 19 








 ARTICLE 4. CONTRIBUTIONS, INVESTMENT ADJUSTMENTS AND TAXES 
 4.1 Deferral Contributions. 
  

	 	(a)	General. Pursuant to timely and otherwise valid Deferral Elections, a Participant may elect to defer amounts of Salary, Commissions or Bonus that would otherwise be payable
to the Participant. Such Deferral Contributions shall be credited to a Deferral Contribution Account established in the name of the Participant. 

  

	 	(b)	Determination of Deferral Contributions. The amount of Deferral Contributions shall be determined on the basis of the percentages of Salary, Commissions or Bonus elected to
be deferred by a Participant. Such amounts shall be deemed deferred to the Plan after all Elective Deferrals and shall be withheld from each payment of Salary, Commissions and Bonus. 

  

	 	(c)	Minimum and Maximum Deferrals. A Participant may elect to defer Salary, Commissions and Bonus in whole numbers, in the following minimum and maximum percentages:


  

							
	 Compensation Type
	  	Minimum
Percentage	 	 	Maximum
Percentage	 
	 Salary
	  	1	%	 	100	%
	 Commissions
	  	1	%	 	100	%
	 Bonus
	  	1	%	 	100	%

 4.2 Selection of Hypothetical Investments. The Committee shall make a range of Hypothetical
Investment options available for purposes of the Plan and may revise such options, from-to-time, in its sole discretion. A Participant’s Deferral Contributions with respect to a Plan Year shall be deemed invested in accordance with the
Hypothetical Investments selected by the Participant pursuant to the Participant’s currently effective Investment Allocation and/or Reallocation Election. All Hypothetical Investment selections must be denominated in whole percentages unless
otherwise permitted by the Committee. A Participant may make changes in selected Hypothetical Investments from time-to-time on such basis and by means of such procedures as may be authorized by the Committee. 
 4.3 Adjustment of Participant Accounts. A Participant’s Deferral Contribution Account shall be adjusted in accordance with the Hypothetical
Investment(s) chosen by the Participant, subject to the conditions and procedures set forth herein or established by the Committee, from time to time. The overriding intent of such adjustments is that they shall reflect rates of return on
predetermined actual investments within the meaning of Section 31.3121(v)(2)-1(d)(2)(B) of the Treasury Regulations. Any earnings generated under a Hypothetical Investment shall, at the Committee’s sole discretion, either be deemed to be
reinvested in that Hypothetical Investment or reinvested in one or more other Hypothetical Investments designated by the Committee, provided that such designation by the Committee 

  

 20 








 
must be made within a reasonable period of time after the date on which the earnings under a Hypothetical Investment are declared and provided, further, that
earnings on investments made in accordance with such designations may be taken into account only on and after the date of such designations. A Participant’s Hypothetical Investments shall bear the reasonable and customary investment expenses
and charges that are borne by investments of a like character. All notional acquisitions and dispositions of Hypothetical Investments which occur within a Participant’s Deferral Contribution Account, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, shall be
deemed to occur at such times as the Committee shall determine to be administratively feasible in its sole discretion, and the Participant’s Deferral Contribution Account shall be adjusted accordingly, provided that such adjustment shall occur
no less frequently than once per year. If a distribution or re-allocation must occur pursuant to the terms of the Plan and all or some portion of the Account Balance must be valued in connection with such distribution or re-allocation (to reflect
Investment Adjustments), the Committee may in its sole discretion, unless otherwise provided for in the Plan, select a date or dates as closely proximate to such event as feasible for valuation purposes. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the
contrary, any Investment Adjustments made to any Participants’ Deferral Contribution Accounts following a Change in Control shall be made in a manner no less favorable to Participants than the practices and procedures employed under the Plan,
or as otherwise in effect, as of the date of the Change in Control. 
 4.4 Taxes. 
  

	 	(a)	Annual Withholding from Compensation. For any Plan Year in which Deferral Contributions are made to the Plan, the Employer shall withhold the Participant’s share of FICA
and other employment taxes from the portion of the Participant’s compensation that is not deferred. 

  

	 	(b)	Payment of Taxes from Deferral Contribution Account. Notwithstanding Section 4.4(a), the Bank (or the trustee of the Trust, as applicable) shall cause a
Participant’s Deferral Contribution Account to be decreased by the amount of any taxes imposed under Sections 3101, 3121(a), and Section 3121(v)(2) of the Code (collectively, “employment taxes”) on compensation deferred under
this Plan, to the extent that such taxes have not been paid or are not available from the portion of the Participant’s compensation that is not deferred. Additionally, payment may be made from a Participant’s Deferral Contribution Account
for the income tax withholding imposed under Section 3401 of the Code and any corresponding provisions of applicable State tax law on the payment of such employment taxes, as well as to pay the additional employment taxes and income tax
withholdings attributable to the pyramiding wages and taxes. However, the total payment under this Section 4.4(b) may not exceed the aggregate employment taxes and income tax withholdings. 

  

	 	(c)	 Withholding from Benefit Distributions. The Bank (or the trustee of the Trust, as applicable) shall withhold from any payments made to a Participant under
this Plan all federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes required to be withheld by the Employer (or the trustee of the Trust, as applicable) in 



  

 21 









	 	 
connection with such payments, in amounts and in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Employer (or the trustee of the Trust, as
applicable). 


  

	 	(d)	Payment upon Income Inclusion under Section 409A. The Bank (or the trustee of the Trust, as applicable) shall cause a Participant’s Deferral Contribution Account to
be decreased by the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure of the Plan to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and the regulations thereunder. 

 4.5 Vesting. The Participant shall at all times be one hundred percent (100%) vested in all Deferral Contributions. 
  

 22 








 ARTICLE 5. CANCELLATION OF DEFERRAL ELECTIONS 
 5.1 General. Except as specifically provided in this Article 5, Deferral Elections may not be cancelled and are irrevocable. 
 5.2 Unforeseeable Emergencies and Hardship Distributions. If a Participant receives a distribution from this Plan due to an Unforeseeable
Emergency or a Hardship Distribution pursuant to Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3) of the Treasury Regulations from any plan maintained by the Employer or any Affiliate, the Participant’s Deferral Election(s) with respect to the current Performance
Period shall be cancelled as soon as administratively feasible following such events. 
 5.3 Disability. If a Participant incurs a Disability, the Participant’s Deferral Election(s) with respect to the current Performance Period shall be cancelled, provided that the cancellation occurs no later than the later of the
end of the Plan Year or the 15th day of the third month following the date the Participant incurs the Disability. For purposes of this
Section 5.3, “Disability” refers to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment resulting in the Participant’s inability to perform the duties of his or her position or any substantially similar position, where such
impairment can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months. 
  

 23 








 ARTICLE 6. DISTRIBUTIONS 
 6.1 Interim Distributions. At the time, and as part of a Deferral Election, a Participant may elect to have a percentage of the Deferral
Contributions deferred under the Deferral Election paid at an Interim Distribution Date designated by the Participant instead of at the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date. 
  

	 	 (a)
	 Time and Form of Payment. The amount of an Interim Distribution shall be measured as of the Interim Distribution
Date (or, if information from securities markets is required to measure the Interim Distribution and such markets are closed on the Interim Distribution Date, as of the earliest date thereafter as practicable) and shall be paid in a lump sum within
thirty (30) days of such Interim Distribution Date or as soon thereafter as is administratively feasible but no later than December 31st
of the year in which the Interim Distribution Date occurs. 


  

	 	(b)	Earlier Occurrence of Benefit Distribution Date. Notwithstanding a Participant’s election to designate an Interim Distribution Date, the portion of a Participant’s
Deferral Contribution Account which would otherwise be subject to such Interim Distribution Date shall be distributable upon the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date, if such date occurs prior to the Interim Distribution Date.


 6.2 Distributions due to Unforeseeable Emergencies. 
  

	 	(a)	General. A Participant may make a request in writing to the Committee for a distribution of that portion of the Participant’s Deferral Contribution Account necessary to
satisfy an Unforeseeable Emergency. Whether a Participant is faced with an Unforeseeable Emergency permitting a distribution under this Plan is to be determined based on the relevant facts and circumstances. A distribution on account of an
Unforeseeable Emergency, however, may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the
liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. The Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether an Unforeseeable Emergency has occurred and the amount that is
reasonably necessary to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency. If a request for distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency is approved by the Committee, the distribution shall be made as soon as administratively feasible following the date of such
approval. 

  

	 	(b)	 Amount of Distribution. Distributions on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency may not exceed the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need
(which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, State, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution). Determinations of amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need must
take into account the additional compensation available to a 



  

 24 









	 	 
Participant pursuant to the cancellation of any currently effective Deferral Elections pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Plan. The determination of
amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need is not required to take into account any additional compensation that due to the Unforeseeable Emergency is available under another nonqualified deferred compensation plan.



  

	 	(c)	Time and Form of Payment. A distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be made within thirty (30) days after the Committee’s determination that the
Participant has experienced an Unforeseeable Emergency or as soon thereafter as is administratively feasible, provided that in no event may the distribution occur more than ninety (90) days after such date or may the Participant be given an
election as to the taxable year in which the distribution is made. 

 6.3 Benefit Distribution Date. The distribution of
the portion of a Participant’s Deferral Contribution Account not previously distributed on an Interim Distribution Date or on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be made (or commence upon) the Participant’s Benefit Distribution
Date, which shall be the earliest to occur of the date of a Participant’s Termination of Employment, Retirement, death, or Disability. 
 6.4 Distributions on Termination of Employment. If the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date is the date of his or her Termination of Employment, the Participant shall receive a Termination Benefit. 
  

	 	 (a)
	 Time and Form of Payment. The Termination Benefit shall be a lump sum payment equal to the Participant’s
Account Balance, which, subject to Section 6.9(a), shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date or as soon thereafter as is administratively feasible but no later than
December 31st of the year in which the Termination of Employment occurs. 


  

	 	(b)	Death Prior to Payment of Termination Benefit. If a Participant dies after his or her Termination of Employment but before the Termination Benefit is paid, the
Participant’s unpaid Termination Benefit shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum, subject to the timing rules stated in Section 6.4(a), above. 

 6.5 Distributions on Retirement. If the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date is the date of his or her Retirement, the Participant shall
receive a Retirement Benefit. 
  

	 	(a)	 Time and Form of Payment of Retirement Benefit. At the time of, and as part of a Participant’s Deferral Election with respect to a Plan Year, the
Participant shall make an election as to the form in which Deferral Contributions made under such election shall be distributed in the event that the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date is the date of his or her Retirement. The Participant
may elect to receive the Retirement Benefit in a lump sum or in substantially equal annual payments over a period not to exceed fifteen (15) years. The Retirement Benefit shall be payable 



  

 25 









	 	 
in the form elected by the Participant under the Participant’s applicable Deferral Election and, subject to Section 6.9(a), shall commence (or be
fully paid, in the event a lump sum form of distribution was elected) within thirty (30) days after the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date or as soon thereafter as is administratively feasible but no later than
December 31st of the year in which the Retirement occurs. In the case of installment payments, the initial installment shall be based on the
value of the Participant’s Account Balance, measured as of his or her Benefit Distribution Date, and shall be equal to 1/n, where “n” is equal to the total number of annual benefit payments not yet distributed. Subsequent installment
payments shall be computed in a consistent fashion, with the measurement date being the anniversary of the original measurement date, and shall be made in accordance with the same timing rules. 


  

	 	(b)	Death Prior to Completion of Retirement Benefit. If a Participant dies after Retirement but before the Retirement Benefit has been completed, the Participant’s unpaid
Retirement Benefit payments shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in the same manner as they would have been paid to the Participant. 

 6.6 Distributions on Death; Time and Form of Payment. If the Participant’s Benefit
Distribution Date is the date of his or death, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be paid a Death Benefit. The Death Benefit shall be a lump sum payment equal to the Participant’s Account Balance and shall be paid to the
Participant’s Beneficiary within thirty (30) days after the Participant’s Death or as soon thereafter as is administratively feasible but no later than December 31st of the year in which the Participant’s death occurs. 
 6.7
Distributions on Disability. If a Participant determined by the Committee to have a Disability within the meaning of the Plan, the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date shall be the date of such determination, and the Participant shall
receive a Disability Benefit equal to his or her Account Balance. 
  

	 	 (a)
	 Time and Form of Payment. The Disability Benefit shall be paid in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the
Participant’s Benefit Distribution or as soon thereafter as is administratively feasible but no later than December 31st of the year in
which the Disability occurs. 


  

	 	(b)	Eligibility for Retirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is eligible to retire on the date on which he or she is determined to have a Disability, then
the Participant shall be paid a Retirement Benefit in accordance with Section 6.5. For such purpose, the date on which the Participant is determined by the Committee to have a Disability shall be deemed to be the date of the Participant’s
Retirement. 

 6.8 Payment by March 15th Deemed Timely. Where a payment under this Article 6 is required to be made by December 31st of the year in which the event giving rise to the payment occurs, the payment will be deemed timely if made by March 15th of the following year, 

  

 26 








 
provided that the employee is not permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment. 
 6.9 Distributions to Specified Employees on Retirement or Termination of Employment. 
  

	 	(a)	Distributions to a Specified Employee on account of a Separation from Service that is Retirement or Termination of Employment may not be made (or commence, as applicable) earlier
than the date which is six months after the Specified Employee’s Benefit Distribution Date (or, if earlier, the date of death of the employee). Example: A Specified Employee retires on January 1, 2009. Distributions on account of
the Specified Employee’s Retirement may not be made prior to July 1, 2009. If the Specified Employee dies on March 1, 2009, distribution may be made on or after March 1, 2009. 

  

	 	(b)	The rule stated in 6.9(a) shall apply only to distributions to a Specified Employee that would otherwise have been made within the first six months after such employee’s
Retirement or Termination of Employment and shall not operate to delay payments after such six month period. For example, annual payments scheduled to be made on the anniversary of the Specified Employee’s Retirement date pursuant to
Section 6.5(a) shall continue to be made on such anniversary, and only the initial payment shall be delayed by six months pursuant to Section 6.9(a). 

  

 27 








 ARTICLE 7. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION 
 7.1 Beneficiary. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive, in the event of the
Participant’s death, those benefits payable under the Plan. The Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated under this Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation made under any other plan of the Employer. 
 7.2 Beneficiary Designation; Change. A Participant shall designate his or her Beneficiary by completing and signing a Beneficiary Designation
Form, and returning it to the Committee or its designated agent. A Participant shall have the right to change his or her Beneficiary by completing, signing and submitting to the Committee a revised Beneficiary Designation Form in accordance with the
Committee’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. The submission of a new Beneficiary Designation Form shall constitute a revocation of all previously submitted Beneficiary Designation Forms. Facts as shown by the records of the
Committee on the date of death shall be conclusive. 
 7.3 Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary
shall be effective until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by the Committee or its designated agent. 
 7.4 No Beneficiary
Designation. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above or if all designated Beneficiaries on the currently effective Beneficiary Designation Form predecease the Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the
Participant’s benefits, then the Participant’s designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant’s surviving spouse. If the Participant has no surviving spouse, the benefits remaining under the Plan shall be payable to the
executor or personal representative of the Participant’s estate. 
 7.5 Discharge of Obligations. The payment of benefits under
the Plan to a Beneficiary shall fully and completely discharge the Bank and the Committee from all further obligations under this Plan with respect to the Participant, and the Participant’s Participation Agreement shall terminate upon such full
payment of benefits. 
  

 28 








 ARTICLE 8. TERMINATION, AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION 
 8.1 Termination. Although the Bank anticipates that it will continue the Plan for an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee that it will
continue the Plan or will not terminate the Plan at some time in the future. Accordingly, the Bank reserves the right to terminate the Plan, in its sole discretion, at any time, with or without notice, by action of its Board of Directors; provided,
however, that such termination shall not affect the Employer’s payment obligations with respect to Deferral Contributions then existing, and the Employer shall not accelerate payment of such Deferral Contributions (or cause the trustee of the
Trust to accelerate payment of such obligations) but, instead, shall make payment in due course, except under any of the following conditions: 
  

	 	(a)	The Bank terminates and liquidates the Plan within 12 months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Section 331 of the Code (pertaining to corporate liquidations) or with the
approval of a Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Section 503(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, provided that the amounts deferred under the Plan are included in the Participants’ gross incomes in the latest of the following years (or, if earlier,
the taxable year in which the amount is actually or constructively received): 

  

	 	(1)	The calendar year in which the termination and liquidation of the Plan occurs. 

  

	 	(2)	The first calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. 

  

	 	(3)	The first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable. 

  

	 	(b)	The Bank terminates and liquidates the Plan pursuant to an irrevocable action taken by the Bank within the 30 days preceding or the 12 months following a Change in Control, provided
that all nonqualified deferred compensation plans of the Bank or any Affiliate that are required to be aggregated with this Plan under Section 1.409A-1(c)(2) of the Treasury Regulations with respect to Participants in the Plan are also
terminated and liquidated with respect to each Participant that experienced the Change in Control event so that, under the terms of the termination and liquidation, all such Participants are required to receive all amounts of deferred compensation
under this Plan and all such other plans within 12 months of the date all actions necessary to terminate and liquidate this Plan and all such other plans are taken by the Bank and its Affiliates. 

  

	 	(c)	The Bank terminates and liquidates the Plan, provided that: 

  

	 	(1)	The termination and liquidation does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Bank or an Affiliate; 

  

 29 









	 	(2)	The Bank and its Affiliates terminate and liquidate all nonqualified deferred compensation plans that are subject to aggregation with this Plan under Section 1.409A-1(c) of the
Treasury Regulations; 

  

	 	(3)	No payments in liquidation of the Plan are made within 12 months of the date that the Bank takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the Plan, other than
payments that would be payable under the terms of the Plan if the action to terminate and liquidate the Plan had not occurred; 

  

	 	(4)	All payments are made within 24 months of the date the Bank takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the plan; and 

  

	 	(5)	Neither the Bank nor any Affiliate adopts a new plan that would be aggregated with any terminated and liquidated plan under Section 1.409A-1(c) if the same employee
participated in both plans, at any time within three years following the date the Bank takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the Plan. 

  

	 	(d)	Such other events and conditions as the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.


 8.2 Amendment. The Bank may amend the Plan at any time by action of its Board of Directors in whatever respects it
may deem necessary, appropriate or desirable, with or without notice, subject to the following limitations: 
  

	 	(a)	No amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease or restrict the value of a Participant’s Account Balance in existence at the time the amendment or modification is
made, calculated as if the Participant had experienced a Termination of Employment as of the effective date of the amendment or modification, or, if the amendment or modification occurs after the date upon which the Participant was eligible to
Retire, calculated as if the Participant had Retired as of the effective date of the amendment or modification. 

  

	 	(b)	Except as specifically provided in Section 8.1, no amendment or modification shall be made after a Change in Control which adversely affects the vesting, calculation or payment
of benefits hereunder or diminishes any other rights or protections any Participant or Beneficiary would have had, but for such amendment or modification, unless each affected Participant or Beneficiary consents in writing to such amendment.


  

	 	(c)	No amendment shall have the effect of accelerating the distribution of Deferral Contributions accrued prior to such amendment, including through the addition or deletion of a
payment option. 

  

 30 









	 	(d)	Any amendment of the Plan which has the effect of further delaying or changing the form of payments to any Participant on Termination of Employment shall be subject to the
subsequent deferral rules of Section 1.409A-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations. Such amendment shall not take effect until at least 12 months after the date of the amendment, and payments with respect to such amendment shall be deferred for a
period of not less than five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made or have commenced. 

  

	 	(e)	In no event shall an amendment to the Plan materially enhance benefits or rights existing as of October 3, 2004 under the 2004 Plan, or add a new material benefit or right
affecting amounts earned and vested before January 1, 2005, except as may be permitted under Section 1.409A-6(a)(4) of the Treasury Regulations or its successor. 

 The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., may make recommendations to the Bank on amendments to the Plan from time-to-time, and the Bank shall give due consideration
to such recommendations. 
 8.3 Effect of Payment. The full payment of the applicable benefit under the provisions of the Plan shall
completely discharge all obligations under this Plan to a Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiaries, and the Participation Agreement of such a Participant shall terminate. 
  

 31

 35 








 ARTICLE 12. MISCELLANEOUS 
 12.1 Status of the Plan. The Plan is intended to be a nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of Section 409A and other
applicable Sections of the Code and that “is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of
Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with that intent. All Participant accounts and all credits and other adjustments to such Participant accounts shall be
bookkeeping entries only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of amounts to be paid under the Plan. No Participant accounts, credits or other adjustments under the Plan shall be interpreted as an indication
that any benefits under the Plan are in any way funded. 
 12.2 Unsecured General Creditor. Participants and their Beneficiaries,
heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of the Bank. For purposes of the payment of benefits under this Plan, any and all of the Bank’s assets, shall be, and remain,
the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Bank. The Bank’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay benefits in the future. 
 12.3 Employer’s Liability. The Bank’s liability for the payment of benefits shall be defined only by the Plan and the Participation
Agreement, as entered into between the Bank and a Participant. The Bank shall have no obligation to a Participant under the Plan except as expressly provided in the Plan and Participation Agreement. 
 12.4 Nonassignability. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate,
mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in actual receipt, the amount, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be, non-assignable and
non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any
other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise.
