Central Pacific Financial Corp.

2004 Stock Compensation Plan  

Article 1. Establishment, Purpose, and Duration  

        1.1    Establishment of the Plan.    Central Pacific Financial Corp., a Hawaii corporation (hereinafter referred to as
the "Company"), establishes an incentive compensation plan to be known as the Central Pacific Financial Corp. 2004 Stock Compensation Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), as set forth in this
document. 

        The
Plan permits the grant of Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs"), Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares,
Performance Units, and Stock-Based Awards. 

        The
Plan shall become effective upon shareholder approval of the Plan (the "Effective Date") and shall remain in effect as provided in Section 1.3 hereof. 

        1.2    Purpose of the Plan.    The purpose of the Plan is to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company
by linking the personal interests of the Participants to those of the Company's shareholders, and by providing Participants with an incentive for outstanding performance. 

        The
Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in its ability to motivate, attract, and retain the services of Participants upon whose judgment, interest, and special
effort the successful conduct of its operation largely is dependent. 

        1.3    Duration of the Plan.    Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the Plan shall terminate ten (10)
years from the Effective Date. After the Plan is terminated, no future Awards may be granted, but Awards previously granted shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and
conditions and the Plan's terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incentive Stock
Options may be granted more than ten (10) years after the earlier of (a) the adoption of the Plan by the Board, and (b) the Effective Date. 

        1.4    Awards under Prior Option Plans.    From and after the Effective Date, the Company will make new Awards only
under this Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, all awards granted before the Effective Date under any prior plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue to be governed by the terms of
the applicable plan and related award agreement. 

Article 2. Definitions  

        Whenever used in the Plan, the following terms shall have the meaning set forth below, and when the meaning is intended, the initial letter of the word shall be
capitalized.

terms and provisions applicable to Awards granted under this Plan; or (ii) a statement issued by the Company to a Participant describing the terms and provisions of such Award.

of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act.

of a felony or of a gross misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; or

	(c)
	Fraud,
disloyalty, dishonesty or willful violation of any law or significant Company policy committed in connection with the person's employment in service and resulting in an adverse
effect on the Company.

 

	2.7
	"Change in Control" shall mean any of the following:

	(a)
	Individuals
who, on the date of adoption of this Plan, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Directors") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided
that any person becoming a director subsequent to such date, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors then on the
Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be an
Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors
or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director;

	(b)
	Any
"person" (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d 3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's
then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the "Company Voting Securities"); provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (ii) shall not be
deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (A) by the Company or any Subsidiary, (B) by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or
maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, (C) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities or (D) pursuant to a
Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph (c)); or

	(c)
	The
consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, a plan of liquidation or dissolution of the Company or
similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company's shareholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of
securities in the transaction (a "Business Transaction"), unless immediately following such Business Transaction: (A) more than 50% of the total voting power of (x) the corporation
resulting from such Business Transaction (the "Surviving Corporation"), or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of at least

such Business Transaction (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Transaction), and such voting power among the
holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Transaction, (B) no
person (other than any employee

plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 25% or more of the total

majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) following the consummation of the Business Transaction
were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board's approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Transaction (any Business Transaction which satisfies all of the
criteria specified in (A), (B) and (C) above shall be deemed to be a "Non-Qualifying Transaction"). 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Change in Control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 25% of the Company Voting Securities
as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided,  that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the
percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control of the Company shall then occur.

5

   
        3.2    Authority of the Committee.    The Committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary power and authority
to
interpret the terms and the intent of the Plan and to determine eligibility for Awards and to adopt such rules, regulations, and guidelines for administering the Plan as the Committee may deem
necessary or proper. Such authority shall include, but not be limited to, selecting Award recipients, establishing all Award terms and conditions and, subject to Article 16, adopting

        3.3    Delegation.    The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more officers of the
Company, its Affiliates and/or its Subsidiaries, or to one or more agents or advisors such administrative duties as it may deem advisable, and the Committee or any person to whom it has delegated
duties as aforesaid may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such person may have under the Plan. Except with respect to Awards to Insiders,
the Committee may (to the extent permitted by applicable law), by resolution, authorize one or more officers of the Company to do one or both of the following: (a) designate officers,
Employees, or Independent Contractors of the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries to be recipients of Awards; and (b) determine the size of the Award; provided, however, that the
resolution providing such authorization sets forth the total number of Awards such officer or officers may grant. 

Article 4. Shares Subject to the Plan and Maximum Awards  

        4.1    Number of Shares Available for Awards.    Subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 4, the
number of Shares which may be delivered pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan (the "Share Authorization") shall be 1,500,000 Shares. The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be granted
pursuant to any Award granted in any one Fiscal Year to any one Participant shall be 200,000 Shares. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued for Full Value Awards shall be limited to 50% of
the Share Authorization. Any Shares related to Awards which terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise without the issuance of such Shares, are settled in cash in lieu of Shares,
or are exchanged with the Committee's permission for Awards not involving Shares, shall be available again for grant under the Plan. Moreover, if the Option Price of any Option granted under the Plan
or the tax withholding requirements with respect to any Award granted under the Plan are satisfied by tendering Shares to the Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation), or if an SAR is
exercised, only the number of Shares issued, net of the Shares tendered, if any, will be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under the
Plan. The maximum number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan shall not be reduced to reflect any dividends or dividend equivalents that are reinvested into additional Shares or credited as
additional Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, or Stock-Based Awards. The Shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized and unissued Shares or treasury
Shares. 

        4.2    Adjustments in Authorized Shares.    In the event of any corporate event or transaction (including, but not
limited to, a change in the Shares of the Company or the capitalization of the Company) such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, separation, Stock dividend, Stock split,
reverse Stock split, split up, spin-off, or other distribution of Stock or property of the Company, combination of securities, exchange of securities, dividend in kind, or other like
change in capital structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to shareholders of the Company, or any similar corporate event or transaction, the Committee, in its sole discretion, in
order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants' rights under the Plan, shall substitute or adjust, in an equitable manner, as applicable, the number and kind of Shares that may be issued
under the Plan, the number and kind of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, the Option Price or Grant Price applicable to outstanding Awards, the Award Limits, and other value determinations
applicable to outstanding Awards. 

6

 

        Appropriate
adjustments may also be made by the Committee in the terms of any Awards under the Plan to reflect such changes or distributions and to modify any other terms of outstanding
Awards on an equitable basis, including modifications of performance goals and changes in the length of Performance Periods. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any,
shall be conclusive and binding on Participants under the Plan. 

        Subject
to the provisions of Article 15 and any applicable law or regulatory requirement, without affecting the number of Shares reserved or available hereunder, the Committee may
authorize the issuance, assumption, substitution, conversion or termination of Awards under this Plan in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or Stock, or reorganization,
upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate. Additionally, the Committee may amend the Plan, or adopt supplements to the Plan, in such manner as it deems appropriate to provide for such
issuance, assumption, substitution, conversion or termination, all without further action by the Company's shareholders. 

Article 5. Eligibility and Participation  

        5.1    Eligibility.    Individuals eligible to participate in the Plan include all Employees, Directors, and
Independent Contractors. 

        5.2    Actual Participation.    Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may from time to time, select
from all eligible Employees, Directors, and Independent Contractors, those to whom Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award. 

Article 6. Stock Options  

        6.1    Grant of Options.    Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Participants in
such number, and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee, provided that ISOs shall not be granted to Non-Employee Directors and
Independent Contractors. 

        6.2    Award Agreement.    Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Option
Price, the duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, the conditions upon which an Option shall become vested and exercisable, and such other provisions as the
Committee shall determine which are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. The Award Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or a NQSO. 

        6.3    Option Price.    The Option Price for each grant of an Option under this Plan shall be determined by the
Committee and shall be specified in the Award Agreement. The Option Price shall be at least one hundred percent (100%) of the FMV of the Shares on the date of grant. 

        6.4    Duration of Options.    Each Option granted to a Participant shall expire at such time as the Committee shall
determine at the time of grant; provided, however, no Option shall be exercisable later than the tenth (10th) anniversary date of its grant. 

        6.5    Exercise of Options.    Options granted under this Article 6 shall be exercisable at such times and be
subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for each grant or for each Participant. 

        6.6    Payment.    Options granted under this Article 6 shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice
of exercise to the Company, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the Shares. 

        The
Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the Company in full either: (a) in cash or its equivalent; (b) by tendering (either by actual delivery or
attestation) previously acquired Shares having an aggregate FMV at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price 

7

 

(provided,
if required to maintain favorable accounting treatment for the Options granted, the Shares that are tendered must have been held by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior
to their tender to satisfy the Option Price or have been purchased on the open market); (c) by a combination of (a) and (b); or (d) any other method approved by the Committee in
its sole discretion at the time of grant and as set forth in the Award Agreement. 

        The
Committee also may allow cashless exercise as permitted under the Federal Reserve Board's Regulation T, subject to applicable securities law restrictions, or by any other
means which the Committee determines to be consistent with the Plan's purpose and applicable law. 

        Subject
to Section 6.7 and any governing rules or regulations, as soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment, the Company shall
deliver to the Participant, Share certificates or evidence of book entry Shares, in an appropriate amount based upon the number of Shares purchased under the Option(s). 

        Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, all payments under all of the methods indicated above shall be paid in United States dollars. 

        6.7    Restrictions on Share Transferability.    The Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired
pursuant to the exercise of an Option granted under this Article 6 as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, requiring the Participant to hold the Shares acquired pursuant to
exercise for a specified period of time, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or
traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares. 

        6.8    Termination of Employment.    Each Participant's Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the
Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Participant's employment with the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries. Such provisions shall be
determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the Award Agreement entered into with each Participant, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to this
Article 6, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination. 

        6.9    Transferability of Options.    

        (a)    Incentive Stock Options.    No ISO granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, all ISOs granted to a Participant under this Article 6 shall
be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant. 

        (b)    Nonqualified Stock Options.    Except as otherwise provided in a Participant's Award
Agreement or otherwise at any time by the Committee, no NQSO granted under this Article 6 may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided that the Board or Committee may permit further transferability, on a general or a specific basis, and may impose conditions and limitations on any
permitted transferability. Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant's Award Agreement or otherwise at any time by the Committee, or unless the Board or the Committee decides to permit
further transferability, all NQSOs granted to a Participant under this Article 6 shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant. 

        6.10    Notification of Disqualifying Disposition.    The Participant will notify the Company upon the disposition of

        7.1    Grant of SARs.    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to Participants at any

        Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of SARs granted to each Participant and, consistent with the
provisions of the Plan, in determining the terms and conditions pertaining to such SARs. 

        The
SAR Grant Price for each grant of a Freestanding SAR shall be determined by the Committee and shall be specified in the Award Agreement. The SAR Grant Price must be at least one
hundred
percent (100%) of the FMV of the Shares on the date of grant. The Grant Price of Tandem SARs shall be equal to the Option Price of the related Option. 

        7.2    SAR Agreement.    Each SAR Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Grant Price,
the term of the SAR, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.

        7.4    Exercise of Freestanding SARs.    Freestanding SARs may be exercised upon whatever terms and conditions the
Committee, in its sole discretion, imposes upon them. 

        7.5.    Exercise of Tandem SARs.    Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or part of the Shares subject to the related
Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option. A Tandem SAR may be exercised only with respect to the Shares for which its related Option is then
exercisable. 

        Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, with respect to a Tandem SAR granted in connection with an ISO: (a) the Tandem SAR will expire no later than the
expiration of the underlying ISO; (b) the value of the payout with respect to the Tandem SAR may be for no more than one hundred percent (100%) of the difference between the Option Price of the
underlying ISO and the FMV of the Shares subject to the underlying ISO at the time the Tandem SAR is exercised; and (c) the Tandem SAR may be exercised only when the FMV of the Shares subject
to the ISO exceeds the Option Price of the ISO.

the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: 

	(a)
	The
difference between the FMV of a Share on the date of exercise over the Grant Price; by

	(b)
	The
number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. 

        At
the discretion of the Committee, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, in some combination thereof, or in any other manner approved by the
Committee at its sole discretion. The Committee's determination regarding the form of SAR payout shall be set forth or reserved for later determination in the Award Agreement pertaining to the grant
of the SAR. 

        7.7    Termination of Employment.    Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall

discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the Award Agreement entered 

9

 

into
with Participants, need not be uniform among all SARs issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination. 

        7.8    Nontransferability of SARs.    Except as otherwise provided in a Participant's Award Agreement, no SAR granted
under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided that the Board or Committee
may permit further transferability, on a general or a specific basis, and may impose conditions and limitations on any permitted transferability. Further, except as otherwise provided in a
Participant's Award Agreement or otherwise unless the Board or the Committee decides to permit further transferability, all SARs granted to a Participant under this Article 7 shall be
exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant.

Units shall be similar to Restricted Stock except that no Shares are actually awarded to the Participant on the date of grant. 

        8.2    Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.    Each Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Unit
grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period(s) of Restriction, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock or the number of Restricted Stock Units granted, and such other
provisions as the Committee shall determine. 

        8.3    Transferability.    Except as provided in this Article 8, the Shares of Restricted Stock and/or
Restricted Stock Units granted herein may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction established by the

specified by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. All rights with respect to the Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units granted to a Participant under
the Plan shall be available during his or her lifetime only to such Participant. 

        8.4    Other Restrictions.    The Committee shall impose such other conditions and/or restrictions on any Shares of
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable including, without limitation, a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each
Share of Restricted Stock or each Restricted Stock Unit, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance goals, time-based restrictions on vesting following the attainment
of the performance goals, time-based restrictions, restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws, or any holding requirements or sale restrictions placed on the Shares by

conditions and/or restrictions applicable to such Shares have been satisfied or lapse. 

        Except
as otherwise provided in this Article 8, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock Award shall become freely transferable by the Participant after all
conditions and restrictions applicable to such Shares have been satisfied or lapse, and Restricted Stock Units shall be 

10

 

paid
in cash, Shares, or a combination of cash and Shares as the Committee, in its sole discretion shall determine. 

        8.5    Certificate Legend.    In addition to any legends placed on certificates pursuant to Section 8.4 herein,
each certificate representing Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may bear a legend such as the following:

sale or other transfer of the Shares of Stock represented by this certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer
as set forth in the Central Pacific Financial Corp.'s 2004 Stock Compensation Plan, and in the associated Restricted Stock Award Agreement. A copy of the Plan and such Restricted Stock Award Agreement
may be obtained from the Central Pacific Financial Corp." 

        8.6    Voting Rights.    To the extent permitted or required by law, as determined by the Committee, Participants
holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may be granted the right to exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares during the Period of Restriction. A Participant shall have no

        8.7    Dividends and Dividend Equivalents.    During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder may, if the Committee so determines, be credited with dividends paid with respect to Restricted Stock or dividend equivalents with respect
to Restricted Stock Units while they are so held in a manner determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may apply any restrictions to the dividends or dividend equivalents that
the Committee deems appropriate. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine the form of payment of dividends or dividend equivalents, including cash, Shares, Restricted Stock, or Restricted
Stock Units and such dividends or dividend equivalents may be subject to accrual, forfeiture, or payout restrictions as determined by the Committee. 

        8.8    Termination of Employment.    Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall
have the right to retain Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units following termination of the Participant's employment with the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries. Such provisions
shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the Award Agreement entered into with each Participant, need not be uniform among all Shares of Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination. 

        8.9    Section 83(b) Election.    The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement that the Award of Restricted
Stock is conditioned upon the Participant making or refraining from making an election with respect to the Award under Section 83(b) of the Code. If a Participant makes an election pursuant to

to the FMV of a Share on the date of grant. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the Committee at the time of grant. The Committee shall set performance goals in
its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value and/or number of Performance Shares/Performance Units that will be paid out to the Participant. 

11

   
        9.3    Earning of Performance Shares and Performance Units.    Subject to the terms of this Plan, after the
applicable
Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Shares/Performance Units shall be entitled to receive payout on the value and number of Performance Shares/Performance Units earned by the
Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance goals have been achieved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has
the ability to require the Participant to hold the Shares received pursuant to such Award for a specified period of time. 

        9.4    Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Shares and Performance Units.    Payment of earned Performance
Shares/Performance Units shall be as determined by the Committee and as evidenced in the Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned

Performance Units issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination. 

        9.7    Nontransferability.    Except as otherwise provided in a Participant's Award Agreement, Performance
Shares/Performance Units may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, except as

the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted Shares) in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine. Such Awards may entail the transfer of actual Shares to
Participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Shares and may include, without limitation, Awards designed to comply with or take advantage of the applicable local laws
of jurisdictions other than the United States. 

        10.2    Value of Stock-Based Awards.    Each Stock-Based Award shall have a value based on the value of a Share, as
determined by the Committee. The Committee may establish performance goals in its discretion. If the Committee exercises its discretion to establish performance goals, the number and/or value of

sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the Award Agreement entered into with each Participant, need not be uniform among all Awards of Stock-Based Awards issued pursuant to the Plan,
and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination.

Article 11. Performance Measures  

        Unless and until the Committee proposes for shareholder vote and the shareholders approve a change in the general Performance Measures set forth in this
Article 11, the performance goals upon which the payment or vesting of an Award to a Covered Employee that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be limited to the

revenue per personnel; operating expense to group budget; service levels (group); and personal performance. 

        Any
Performance Measure(s) may be used to measure the performance of the Company as a whole or any business unit of the Company or any combination thereof, as the Committee may deem
appropriate, or any of the above Performance Measures as compared to the performance of a group of comparator companies, or published or special index that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems
appropriate. The Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award based on the achievement of performance goals pursuant to the Performance Measures specified in this
Article 11. 

        The
Committee may provide in any such Award that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude any of the following events that occurs during a Performance Period:
(a) asset write-downs; (b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (c) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting
reported results; (d) reorganization or restructuring programs; (e) extraordinary or nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company's annual report to shareholders for the applicable year; (f) acquisitions or
divestitures; and (g) foreign exchange gains and losses. To the extent such inclusions or exclusions affect Awards to Covered Employees, they shall be prescribed in a form that meets the
requirements of Code Section 162(m) for deductibility. 

        Awards
that are designed to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, and that are held by Covered Employees, may not be adjusted upward. The Committee shall retain the discretion to
adjust such Awards downward. 

        In
the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing Performance Measures without obtaining shareholder approval of such
changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining shareholder approval. In addition, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant
Awards that shall not qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Code Section 162(m). 

Article 12. Beneficiary Designation  

        A Participant's "beneficiary" is the person or persons entitled to receive payments or other benefits or exercise rights that are available under the Plan in the
event of the Participant's death. A Participant may designate a beneficiary or change a previous beneficiary designation at any time by using forms and following procedures approved by the Committee
for that purpose. If no beneficiary 

14

 

designated
by the Participant is eligible to receive payments or other benefits or exercise rights that are available under the Plan at the Participant's death the beneficiary shall be the
Participant's estate. 

        Notwithstanding
the provisions above, the Committee may in its discretion, after notifying the affected Participants, modify the foregoing requirements, institute additional requirements
for beneficiary designations, or suspend the existing beneficiary designations of living Participants or the process of determining beneficiaries under this Article 12, or both. If the
Committee suspends the process of designating beneficiaries on forms and in accordance with procedures it has approved pursuant to this Article 12, the determination of who is a Participant's
beneficiary shall be made under the Participant's will and applicable state law. 

Article 13. Deferrals and Share Settlements  

        Notwithstanding any other provision under the Plan, the Committee may permit or require a Participant to defer such Participant's receipt of the payment of cash
or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant by virtue of the exercise of an Option or SAR, or with respect to the lapse or waiver of restrictions with respect to
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units or the satisfaction of any requirements or performance goals with respect to Performance Shares,
Performance Units, or Stock-Based Awards. If any such deferral election is required or permitted, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures for such payment
deferrals. 

Article 14. Rights of Employees and Independent Contractors  

        14.1    Employment.    Nothing in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of
the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries to terminate any Participant's employment or other service relationship at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the
capacity in which he or she is employed or otherwise serves the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries. 

        Neither
an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute part of an employment contract with the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries and, accordingly,
subject to Articles 3 and 16, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Committee without giving rise to liability on the part of
the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries for severance payments. 

        For
purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant between the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed a termination of employment.
Additionally, the Committee shall have the ability to stipulate in a Participant's Award Agreement that a transfer to a company that is spun-off from the Company shall not be deemed a
termination of employment with the Company for purposes of the Plan until the Participant's employment is terminated with the spun-off company. 

        14.2    Participation.    No Employee or Independent Contractor shall have the right to be selected to receive an
Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award. 

        14.3    Rights as a Shareholder.    A Participant shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to
Shares covered by any Award until the Participant becomes the record holder of such Shares. 

Article 15. Change in Control  

        Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under applicable laws, or by the rules and regulations of any governing
governmental agencies or national securities exchanges, or unless the Committee shall determine otherwise in the Award Agreement 

15

 

(which
may include a modification to the definition of a Change in Control as determined by the Committee): 

	(a)
	Any
and all Options and SARs granted hereunder shall become immediately exercisable; additionally, if a Participant's employment is terminated for any other reason except Cause within
twelve (12) months of such Change in Control, the Participant shall have until the earlier of: (i) twelve (12) months following such termination date; or (ii) the
expiration of the Option or SAR term, to exercise any such Option or SAR;

	(b)
	Any
Period of Restriction for Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder that have not previously vested shall end, and such Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock
Units shall become fully vested;

	(c)
	The
target payout opportunities attainable under all outstanding Awards under the Plan which are subject to achievement of any of the Performance Measures specified in
Article 11, or any other performance conditions or restrictions that the Committee has made the Award contingent upon, shall be deemed to have been fully earned as of the effective date of the
Change in Control.

	(i)
	The
vesting of all Awards denominated in Shares shall be accelerated as of the effective date of the Change in Control, and there shall be paid out to Participants a pro
rata number of Shares based upon an assumed achievement of all relevant targeted performance goals and upon the length of time within the Performance Period, if any, that has elapsed prior to the
Change in Control. The Committee has the authority to pay all or any portion of the value of the Shares in cash.

	(ii)
	Awards
denominated in cash shall be paid pro rata to Participants with the proration determined as a function of the length of time within the Performance Period, if
any, that has elapsed prior to the Change in Control, and based on an assumed achievement of all relevant targeted performance goals.

	(d)
	Subject
to Article 16, herein, the Committee shall have the authority to make any modifications to the Awards as determined by the Committee to be appropriate before the
effective date of the Change in Control. 

Article 16. Amendment, Modification, Suspension, and Termination  

        16.1    Amendment, Modification, Suspension, and Termination.    The Committee or Board may, at any time and from time
to time, alter, amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, without the prior approval of the Company's shareholders, Options
issued under the Plan will not be repriced, replaced, or regranted through cancellation, or by lowering the exercise price of a previously granted Option. No amendment of the Plan shall be made
without shareholder approval if shareholder approval is required by law, regulation, or stock exchange rule. 

        16.2    Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events.    The Committee may make
adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in
Section 4.2 hereof) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines
that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent unintended dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. The determination of
the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on Participants under the Plan. 

16

 

        16.3    Awards Previously Granted.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no termination,

Award.

Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign (including the Participant's FICA obligation), required by law or regulation
to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising or as a result of this Plan. 

        17.2    Share Withholding.    With respect to withholding required upon the exercise of Options or SARs, upon the

Company withhold Shares having a FMV of a Share on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the tax that could be imposed on the transaction, provided that if required by the accounting rules and
regulations to maintain favorable accounting treatment for the Awards, the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction. All elections
shall be irrevocable, made in writing, and signed by the Participant, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. 

Article 18. Successors  

        All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of

Article 19. General Provisions  

        19.1    Forfeiture Events.    The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant's rights, payments,
and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable
vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events shall include, but shall not be limited to, termination of employment for Cause, violation of material Company, Affiliate, and/or Subsidiary
policies, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or
reputation of the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries. 

        19.2    Legend.    The certificates for Shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect

        19.3    Delivery of Title.    The Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver evidence of title for Shares
issued under the Plan prior to: 

	(a)
	Obtaining

        19.4    Investment Representations.    The Committee may require each Participant receiving Shares pursuant to an
Award under this Plan to represent and warrant in writing that the Participant is acquiring the Shares for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares. 

        19.5    Employees Based Outside of the United States.    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in
order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries operate or have Employees or Independent Contractors, the Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall have the power and authority to: 

	(a)
	Determine
which Affiliates and Subsidiaries shall be covered by the Plan;

	(b)
	Determine
which Employees and Independent Contractors outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan;

	(c)
	Modify
the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Employees or Independent Contractors outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws;

	(d)
	Establish
subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable. Any subplans and modifications to Plan
terms and procedures established under this Section 19.5 by the Committee shall be attached to this Plan document as appendices; and

	(e)
	Take
any action, before or after an Award is made that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local government regulatory exemptions or approvals. 

        Notwithstanding
the above, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate the Exchange Act, the Code, any securities law, or
governing statute or any other applicable law. 

        19.6    Uncertificated Shares.    To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the
transfer of Shares, the transfer of such Shares may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange. 

        19.7    Unfunded Plan.    Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments
that the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions,
shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries and any Participant, beneficiary, legal
representative, or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries under the Plan, such right shall be no
greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be
established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not intended to be subject to ERISA. 

        19.8    No Fractional Shares.    No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award.

otherwise eliminated. 

        19.9    Retirement and Welfare Plans.    The Awards under this Plans will not be included as "compensation" for
purposes of computing benefits payable to any Participant under the Company's retirement plans (both qualified and nonqualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that
such compensation shall be taken into account in computing a Participant's benefit.

Article 20. Legal Construction  

        20.1    Gender and Number.    Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also
shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural. 

        20.2    Severability.    In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the
illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 

        20.3    Requirements of Law.    The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to
all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. The Company shall receive the consideration
required by law for the issuance of Awards under the Plan. 

        The
inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance
and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. 

        20.4    Securities Law Compliance.    The Company may use reasonable endeavors to register Shares allotted pursuant to
the exercise of an Award with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification, and listing requirements of any national or foreign
securities laws, stock exchange, or automated quotation system. With respect to Insiders, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of
Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the
extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee. 

        20.5    Governing Law.    The Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii,
excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Unless otherwise
provided in the Award Agreement, recipients of an Award under the Plan are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of Hawaii, to resolve any and all
issues that may arise out of or relate to the Plan or any related Award Agreement.
