In addition to vesting based on the achievement of the service and financial performance objectives and your fulfillment of the Employment and Performance Requirements described above in Section 3.a, the Retention Payment shall vest in connection with certain terminations of your  employment with the Bank as described in this Section 3.b.

However, if the Committee has already certified the achievement of Financial Performance Criteria as described in Section 3.a at the time of your termination of your employment pursuant to this Section 3.b, the relevant Applicable Vesting Percentages shall be applied in determining the portion of the Retention Payment which has vested.   

 

	
 
	
c.
	
No Vesting of Retention Payment.  You will not be entitled to receive any portion of the Retention Payment if you voluntarily terminate employment, or your employment is terminated for "Cause" (within the meaning of Section 2.4 of the Change-in-Control Plan), prior to the end of the Retention Period.  You will also not be entitled to receive any payment if you fail to meet or exceed applicable performance expectations, as determined by the Chairman and President/Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, at any time during the Retention Period (or prior to your termination of employment in the case of a termination of employment described in Section 3.b).

 

Payment of any portion of the Retention Payment is also expressly conditioned upon your (or your estate's) agreement to waive and release claims arising out of or related to your employment up to the earlier of your termination of employment or the end of the Retention Period.

 

	
4.
	
Payment of Retention Payment.  If all or any portion of the Retention Payment becomes vested pursuant to Section 3.a, it will be paid in the form of a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days following the end of the Retention Period, as determined at the discretion of the Bank.  However, in the event all or any portion of the Retention Payment becomes vested pursuant to Section 3.b, it will be paid in the form of a lump sum payment by the later of December 31 of the year in which it becomes vested or, if later, by the 15th day of the third month following the date upon which it becomes vested.

Equity awards granted to you prior to the Effective Date will not be affected under this Agreement.

 

Your participation in any other benefit plan or program in which you participated immediately prior to the Effective Date (e.g., the Bank of Hawaii Corporation Executive Incentive Plan), will not be affected under this Agreement.

 

Any Retention Payment amount that becomes payable to you hereunder will not be taken into account in computing your salary or other compensation for purposes of determining any benefits or compensation payable to you or your beneficiaries or estate under any benefit arrangement or other agreement between you and the Bank, with the exception of the Base Salary Deferral Plan to the extent that you make a valid deferral election for such Payment.

 

	
7.
	
Withholding.  The Bank will be authorized to withhold from the payment of any portion of the Retention Payment that may become payable hereunder, the amount of any applicable federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

 

	
8.
	
No Right to Employment.  You acknowledge that your employment is at-will and this Agreement will not be construed as a guarantee of continued employment.  Both you and the Bank reserve the right to terminate your employment at any time, with or without notice and with or without cause.

4.Issuance of Shares; Registration; Withholding Taxes.  Restricted Shares shall be issued in Grantee's name, shall bear the restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable by the Company under the provisions of any applicable law, and shall be held by the Company until all restrictions lapse or such shares are forfeited as provided herein.  Upon the lapsing of all restrictions with respect to a portion of the Restricted Shares, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee (or, if applicable, to the Grantee's legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs) those Shares that vested upon the lapsing of restrictions through the Direct Registration System or Electronic Share Transfer. The Shares as to which all restrictions have lapsed shall be free of the restrictive legends referred to in this Section 4 above.  The Company may postpone the issuance or delivery of the Shares until (a) the completion of registration or other qualification of such Shares or transaction under any state or federal law, rule or regulation, or any listing on any securities exchange, as the Company shall determine to be necessary or desirable; (b) the receipt by the Company of such written representations or other documentation as the Company deems necessary to establish compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including applicable federal and state securities laws and listing requirements, if any; and (c) the payment to the Company of any amount required by the Company to satisfy any federal, state or other governmental withholding tax requirements related to the issuance or delivery of the Shares.  Grantee shall comply with any and all legal requirements relating to Grantee's resale or other disposition of any Shares acquired under this Agreement.

Grantee's rights as a shareholder shall terminate with respect to any Restricted Shares forfeited by Grantee.
