NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
First Hawaiian, Inc. and Subsidiaries
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of First Hawaiian, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") conform with generally accepted
accounting principles and practices within the banking industry. The following
is a summary of significant accounting policies:
CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of
First Hawaiian, Inc. ("FHI") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: First Hawaiian
Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Bank"); Pacific One Bank ("Pacific
One"); FHL Lease Holding Company, Inc.; First Hawaiian Capital I (of which FHI
owns all the common securities); and FHI International, Inc. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (which included only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the consolidated
financial statements.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for 1997 have been
reclassified to conform with the 1998 presentation. Such reclassifications had
no effect on the consolidated net income as previously reported.
2. NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS
The provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities," that were deferred by SFAS No. 127, "Deferral
of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125 - An
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 125," became effective as to repurchase
agreements, dollar rolls, securities lending and certain other transactions
after December 31, 1997. The Company requires delivery of collateral or other
security as a condition to entering into repurchase or reverse-repurchase
transactions. With respect to reverse-repurchase transactions, the Company does
not take control of the related collateral. Accordingly, the Company does not
record the collateral along with the obligation to return such collateral in its
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has not relinquished control of any
securities transferred in repurchase transactions for the six month period ended
June 30, 1998, and the Company has not recorded the collateral transfer or a
receivable from the applicable counterparties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
First Hawaiian, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which established standards for reporting comprehensive
income (defined therein to include net income, unrealized gains and losses on
available-for-sale investment securities, foreign currency adjustments, as well
as certain other items not included in the income statement). The Company's
Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity have been reformatted
and restated for the prior periods in compliance with SFAS No. 130.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for reporting operating
segments and requires certain other disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. The disclosure requirements are effective
for the year ending December 31, 1998. SFAS No. 131 requires selected
information about operating segments in interim financial statements beginning
in 1999. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect
on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which standardized the
disclosure requirements for pensions and other post-retirement benefits. The
Company plans to implement SFAS No. 132 (which does not change existing
measurement or recognition standards) in its consolidated financial statements
for the year ending December 31, 1998. The adoption of this standard is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No.
133 requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measurement of those
derivative instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The adoption of this
standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
As of December 31, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share," which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure
requirements for earnings per share. By adopting SFAS No. 128, the Company was
required to restate and expand its presentation for prior period earnings per
share data. The basic and diluted earnings per share data of the Company
reported under SFAS No. 128 did not differ materially from the primary and fully
diluted earnings per share data previously reported by the Company under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share."
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the
Company's basic and diluted earnings per share:

Average impaired loans $ 75,491 $ 90,901 $ 98,859
Interest income recorded during the period $ 498 $ 835 $ 542
Impaired loans without a related allowance for loan losses are generally
collateralized by assets with fair values in excess of the recorded investment
in the loans. Interest payments on impaired loans are generally applied to
reduce the outstanding principal amounts of such loans.
5. MERGER AGREEMENT WITH BANCWEST CORPORATION
On May 28, 1998, FHI signed a definitive agreement for the merger of
BancWest Corporation ("BancWest"), parent company of Bank of the West, with and
into FHI, which will be the surviving corporation. The surviving corporation
will change its name to "BancWest Corporation." BancWest is wholly-owned by
Banque Nationale de Paris ("BNP"), France's second largest banking group with
more than $300 billion in assets. BNP will receive approximately 25.9 million
shares of the surviving corporation's Class A Common Stock (representing
approximately 45% of the voting stock) valued at approximately $962.6 million.
The transaction is subject to, among other things, regulatory and stockholder
approval, is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 1998, and
will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Bank of the West, headquartered in San Francisco, is California's fifth
largest bank with approximately $5.8 billion in assets and 105 branches in 21
counties in Northern and Central California. The new combined BancWest
Corporation will have more than 200 branches in the states of Hawaii,
California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, the territory of Guam and Saipan.
6. SUBSIDIARY MERGERS
On April 18, 1997, Pioneer Federal Savings Bank ("Pioneer"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of FHI, was merged with and into the Bank. Five Pioneer branches
became branches of the Bank and 14 branches were closed in connection with the
merger.
On December 31, 1997, Pacific One Bank, National Association ("Pacific One,
N.A."), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FHI, was merged with and into Pacific One.
The eight branches of Pacific One, N.A., all of which are located in the State
of Washington, became branches of Pacific One.
On June 19, 1998, First Hawaiian Creditcorp, Inc. ("Creditcorp"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of FHI, was merged with and into the Bank. All 13
Creditcorp branches were closed in connection with the merger.
7. FIRST HAWAIIAN CAPITAL I
First Hawaiian Capital I is a Delaware business trust (the "Trust") which
was formed in 1997. The Trust issued $100,000,000 of its capital securities (the
"Capital Securities") in 1997, and used the proceeds therefrom to purchase
junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (the "Debentures") of FHI. In
addition, the Trust also purchased $3,093,000 of Debentures in connection with
the acquisition by FHI of common securities of the Trust. The Debentures
(aggregate principal amount $103,093,000) are the sole assets of the Trust. The
Capital Securities qualify as Tier 1 capital of FHI and are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by FHI.
The Capital Securities accrue and pay interest (which payment may be
deferred pursuant to the terms of the Capital Securities) semi-annually at an
annual interest rate of 8.343%. The Capital Securities are mandatorily
redeemable upon maturity of the Debentures on July 1, 2027, or upon earlier
redemption in whole or in part as provided for in the governing indenture.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Certain matters contained herein are forward-looking statements that involve
certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results to
differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to: (1) global, national and local economic and market conditions; (2)

PENDING MERGER
On May 28, 1998, FHI signed a definitive agreement for the merger of BancWest
Corporation ("BancWest") with and into FHI, which will be the surviving
corporation. The surviving corporation will change its name to "BancWest
Corporation." BancWest is wholly-owned by Banque Nationale de Paris ("BNP"),
France's second largest banking group with more than $300 billion in assets. BNP
will receive approximately 25.9 million shares of the surviving corporation's
Class A Common Stock (representing approximately 45% of the voting stock) valued
at approximately $962.6 million. The transaction is subject to, among other
things, regulatory and stockholder approval, is expected to be completed during
the fourth quarter of 1998, and will be accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting.
Although no assurance can be given either that any specific level of cost
savings will be achieved or as to the timing thereof, FHI currently expects the
surviving corporation to achieve approximately $23.2 million and $41.0 million
in pre-tax annual cost savings in 1999 and 2000, respectively, as a result of
the merger. The cost savings are expected to be derived principally by merging
Pacific One with Bank of the West, integrating data processing and back-office
operations (in particular, eliminating vendor costs relating to BancWest's
current outsourcing of back-office processing), eliminating duplicative
operations and consolidating certain retail and wholesale operations.
It is also estimated that a one-time pre-tax restructuring charge of
approximately $67.0 million will be incurred upon consummation of the merger
principally as a result of employee separations, elimination of duplicative
facilities, employee relocations, and losses on asset impairments and
dispositions of assets. A portion of this restructuring charge relates to
exiting certain activities of Bank of the West that will be reflected as a
purchase price adjustment rather than a charge to earnings.
The finalization of these plans could result in material changes to the
estimates discussed herein.
The Company also expects that the surviving corporation will be able to generate
increased revenues as a result of the merger. The Company expects that pre-tax
revenue enhancements will be approximately $6.3 million in 1999 and
approximately $9.8 million in 2000. The Company expects to achieve these
results, in part, from potential cross-selling of products and services to the
commercial and consumer customer bases of the combined company. Whether these
anticipated benefits are ultimately achieved will depend on a number of factors,
including the ability of the surviving corporation to successfully integrate the
businesses of the Company and BancWest.
For further information on the merger, see the Company's Reports on Form 8-K
dated May 28, 1998.

NET INCOME
The Company recorded consolidated net income for the first six months of 1998 of
$42,896,000, an increase of $115,000, or .3%, over the first six months of 1997.
For the second quarter of 1998, the consolidated net income of $21,668,000
represented a $597,000, or 2.7%, decrease compared to the same quarter in 1997.
The modest increase in consolidated net income for the first six months and
decrease in the second quarter of 1998 reflect the continuing effects of the
sluggish economy in Hawaii.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 1998 were $1.38
and $1.37, respectively, represent increases of 2.2% over the same period in
1997. Basic earnings per share for the second quarter of 1998 remained flat at
$.70 and diluted earnings per share decreased $.01, or 1.4%, to $.69, in each
case as compared to the same period in 1997. The percentage increases in
consolidated net income on a per share basis were greater than the percentage
changes in consolidated net income because the acquisition of shares under the
Company's stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company is authorized
to repurchase up to 3.1 million shares of the Company's common stock (of which
1.8 million shares were repurchased through June 30, 1998), resulted in a lower
average number of outstanding shares in 1998 as compared to 1997.
Basic and diluted cash earnings per share (defined as earnings per share in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles plus after-tax
amortization of intangibles that are deducted from regulatory capital for
risk-based purposes) for the first six months of 1998 were $1.48 and $1.47,
respectively, represent increases of 2.8%, over the same period in 1997. Basic
cash earnings per share for the second quarter of 1998 remained flat at $.74 and
diluted earnings per share decreased $.01, or 1.4%, to $.75, in each case as
compared to the same period in 1997.
On an annualized basis, the Company's return on average total assets for the
first six months of 1998 was 1.07%, a decrease of .9% compared to the same
period in 1997, and its return on average stockholders' equity was 11.73%, a
decrease of 2.7% compared to the same period in 1997.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased $3,517,000,
or 2.1%, to $172,102,000 for the first six months of 1998 from $168,585,000 for
the same period in 1997. The increase in net interest income for the first six
months of 1998 over the same period in 1997 was primarily due to an increase in
average earning assets of $125,489,000, or 1.8%, and a 2 basis point (1% equals
100 basis points) increase in the net interest margin from 4.75% in 1997 to
4.77% in 1998. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily
attributable to an increase of 9 basis points in the yield on average earning
assets for the six months of 1998 over the same period in 1997, principally as a
result of the partial liquidation of lower-yielding investment securities held
by the Company. The Company used the proceeds from the partial liquidation to
reduce its short-term borrowings and to fund higher-yielding loans. The increase
in the yield on average earning assets was partially offset by an increase of 8
basis points in the rate paid on funding sources for the first six months of
1998 over the same period in 1997. The increase in the rate paid on funding
sources reflects, among other things, the issuance by First Hawaiian Capital I
of $100,000,000 aggregate liquidation amount of its capital securities (the
"Capital Securities") in June 1997 and a decrease in average noninterest-bearing
demand deposits of $22,330,000, or 2.7%.
Net interest income increased $621,000, or .7%, to $86,461,000 for the second
quarter of 1998 from $85,840,000 for the same period in 1997. The increase in
net interest income for the second quarter of 1998 over the same period in 1997
was primarily due to an increase in average earning assets of $196,057,000, or
2.8%, partially offset by a 9 basis point decrease in the net interest margin
from 4.83% in 1997 to 4.74% in 1998. The decrease in the net interest margin for
the second quarter of 1998 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the yield
on average earning assets of 6 basis points and an increase in the rate paid on
funding sources of 3 basis points compared to the same period in 1997. The
decrease on the yield on average earning assets was attributable to the lower
yields earned on commercial, financial and agricultural and consumer loans and
lease financing. As previously discussed, the increase in the rate paid on
funding sources reflects, among other things, the issuance of the Capital
Securities in June 1997.

11
Average earning assets increased by $125,489,000, or 1.8%, and $196,057,000 or
2.8%, for the first six months and second quarter of 1998, respectively, over
the same periods in 1997, primarily due to higher levels of interest-bearing
deposits in other banks and loans. The increase was partially offset by the
partial liquidation of investment securities in connection with the merger of
the Bank and Pioneer in April 1997 and a change in the collateral requirements
for state and local government funds.
Average loans for the first six months and second quarter of 1998 increased by
$313,097,000, or 5.3%, and $274,354,000, or 4.6%, respectively, over the same
periods in 1997. The mix of loans continues to change as the Company diversifies
its loan portfolio, both geographically and by industry. These efforts have
resulted in growth in the Company's banking operations in the Pacific Northwest,
automobile financing in California and Oregon and credit extensions to companies
in the media and telecommunications industry located on the mainland United
States. In addition, the proposed merger with BancWest will further enhance this
loan diversification strategy. Finally, the mix of average earning assets
continues to change, with average loans representing 85.6% and 85.4% of average
earning assets for the first six months and second quarter of 1998,
respectively, as compared to 82.8% and 83.9%, respectively, for the same periods
in 1997.
Average interest-bearing deposits and liabilities increased by $112,247,000, or
1.8%, and $150,365,000, or 2.4%, for the first six months and second quarter of
1998, respectively, over the same periods in 1997. The increase was primarily
due to the issuance of the Capital Securities and an increase in deposits of
$253,578,000, or 5.0%, and $273,792,000, or 5.4%, for the first six months and
second quarter of 1998, respectively, over the same periods in 1997, primarily
from a shifting of public funds from repurchase agreements to deposits. The
increase was partially offset by a decrease in short-term borrowings that were
repaid using proceeds received from the partial liquidation of the investment
securities portfolio described above.

The following table sets forth consolidated average balance sheets, an analysis
of interest income/expense, and average yield/rate for each major category of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods
indicated on a taxable equivalent basis. The tax equivalent adjustment is made
for items exempt from Federal income taxes (assuming a 35% tax rate for 1998 and
1997) to make them comparable with taxable items before any income taxes are
applied.

The loan portfolio is the largest component of total earning assets and accounts
for the greatest portion of total interest income. At June 30, 1998, total loans
were $6,304,829,000, representing increases of 1.1% and 4.5% over December 31,
1997 and June 30, 1997, respectively.
Commercial, financial and agricultural loans as of June 30, 1998 increased
$41,831,000, or 2.6%, over December 31, 1997, and $98,550,000, or 6.5%, over
June 30, 1997. Although the Company continues its efforts to diversify the loan
portfolio, both geographically and by industry, overall loan volume in the State
of Hawaii continues to decline as a result of the sluggish economy. Credit
extensions in the Pacific Northwest and the media and telecommunications
industry located on the mainland United States account for the majority of the
increase in loan balances and geographic and industry diversification.
Consumer loans as of June 30, 1998 increased $45,018,000, or 6.6%, over December
31, 1997, and $134,160,000, or 22.7%, over June 30, 1997. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in direct and indirect automobile financing in
California and Oregon.
Lease financing as of June 30, 1998 increased $12,306,000, or 3.7%, over
December 31, 1997, and $67,530,000, or 24.3%, over June 30, 1997. The increase
was primarily due to an increase in leveraged leases on equipment located on the
mainland United States.
The Company's international operations, principally in Guam and Grand Cayman,
British West Indies, involve foreign banking and international financing
activities, including short-term investments, loans, acceptances, letters of
credit financing and international funds transfers. International activities are
identified on the basis of the domicile of the applicable customer. Foreign
loans as of June 30, 1998, increased $43,253,000, or 12.8%, over December 31,
1997, and $76,195,000, or 24.9%, over June 30, 1997. The increase in foreign
loans was primarily due to an increase in loan balances in Guam.
Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to
multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities which would cause them to be
similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At June 30, 1998, the
Company did not have a concentration of loans greater than 10% of total loans
which is not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans as shown in the above
table.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS, CONTINUED
Nonperforming assets decreased from $97,875,000, or 1.62% of total loans and
other real estate owned ("OREO"), at June 30, 1997, to $86,137,000, or 1.36% of
total loans and OREO, at June 30, 1998. The percentage of nonperforming assets
to total assets decreased from 1.25% at June 30, 1997 to 1.05% at June 30, 1998.
The decrease in nonperforming assets of $11,738,000, or 12.0%, from June 30,
1997 to June 30, 1998 was primarily due to decreases in: (1) commercial,
financial and agricultural nonaccrual loans of $5,032,000, or 30.7%; and (2)
commercial real estate restructured loans of $6,781,000, or 17.3%. The decrease
in nonperforming loans was partially offset by an increase in OREO of
$7,376,000, or 40.0%. The decrease in commercial, financial and agricultural
nonaccrual loans and real estate - commercial restructured loans was primarily
due to the transfer of three loans totalling $13,610,000 to OREO. These
transfers to OREO were partially offset by the sales of commercial and
residential real estate properties totalling $6,520,000 and write-downs of
$1,842,000.
In the second quarter of 1998, the Company identified a potential problem loan
(not otherwise classified as nonperforming or past due in the table on page 15)
of $10,025,000 where possible credit problems of the borrower caused management
to have serious concerns as to the ability of such borrower to comply with the
present loan repayment terms. Such loan consisted of a commercial real estate
loan, which was current as of June 30, 1998. If current conditions continue,
such loan may be disclosed in future periods as a nonperforming asset.
Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totalled $34,784,000
at June 30, 1998, an increase of $5,126,000, or 17.3%, over June 30, 1997. The
increase was primarily due to certain real estate - residential loans sold with
recourse that were repurchased in the fourth quarter of 1997 and the first six
months of 1998, which increase was partially offset by a decrease in commercial,
financial and agricultural loans. All of the loans which are past due 90 days or
more and still accruing interest are, in management's judgment, adequately
collateralized and in the process of collection.
In recent years, the level of the Company's nonperforming assets and charge-offs
has been affected by the impact of adverse economic conditions and trends in
Hawaii. The most important of these adverse economic trends is the prolonged
economic downturn over the last eight years. Hawaii's recovery from its 1991
recession continues to be slow and protracted. In contrast, the mainland
(including the Pacific Northwest), continues to experience economic expansion.
In addition, Hawaii continues to show weaknesses in its local real estate
market, including declining real estate value.
Recently, a number of countries in the Asia Pacific region, including Japan,
have experienced significant weaknesses in their economies. The economic
downturn in Asia may adversely impact the volume and spending level of Asian
visitors to Hawaii, which in turn may adversely affect the Hawaiian economy.
Outstanding commitments and loans to debtors in Asian countries of $14,771,000,
excluding Japan, represented approximately .18% of total assets and 2.0% of
total stockholders' equity and, including Japan $108,960,000, represented
approximately 1.33% of total assets and 14.4% of total stockholders' equity, in
each case at June 30, 1998. These commitments and loans are primarily
collateralized by certificates of deposit, Hawaii real estate, standby letters
of credit issued by Asian banks and/or guarantees by credit-worthy Asian
individuals and corporations.
The Company does not foresee a major improvement in Hawaii's economic conditions
in the near term and believes that these trends may continue to affect the level
of nonperforming assets and related charge-offs in future periods.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES, CONTINUED
For the first six months of 1998, the provision for loan losses was $11,912,000,
an increase of $3,899,000, or 48.7%, over the same period in 1997. The provision
for loan losses was $7,516,000 for the second quarter of 1998, an increase of
$3,255,000, or 76.4%, over the same period in 1997. The increase in the
provision for loan losses for the first six months and second quarter of 1998
over the same periods in 1997 reflects the prolonged economic downturn in
Hawaii, an 18.0% increase in consumer loan charge-offs and the potential problem
loan identified in the second quarter of 1998 (see section titled "Nonperforming
Assets" on page 15).
The provision for loan losses is based upon management's judgment as to the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (the "Allowance") to absorb future
losses. The Company uses a systematic methodology to determine the adequacy of
the Allowance and related provision for loan losses to be reported for financial
statement purposes. The determination of the adequacy of the Allowance is
ultimately one of management judgment, which includes consideration of many
factors, including, among other things, the amount of problem and potential
problem loans, net charge-off experience, changes in the composition of the loan
portfolio by type and location of loans and in overall loan risk profile and
quality, general economic factors and the fair value of collateral.
Net charge-offs were $8,759,000 for the first six months of 1998, a decrease of
$313,000, or 3.5%, compared to the same period in 1997. Net charge-offs for the
second quarter of 1998 were $4,921,000 compared to $5,208,000 for the same
period a year ago. The decrease in charge-offs in the first six months and
second quarter of 1998 was primarily due to charge-offs on four commercial,
financial and agricultural loans totalling $2,650,000 in the prior year. The
decrease in loan recoveries in the first six months and second quarter of 1998
was primarily due to a $1,188,000 recovery on a commercial, financial and
agricultural loan in the prior year. For the first six months and second quarter
of 1998, consumer loan charge-offs increased $1,171,000 and $390,000, or 18.0%
and 11.4%, respectively, over the same periods in 1997. Consumer loan
charge-offs were negatively impacted by the ongoing sluggish Hawaii economy and
continued increase in personal bankruptcies. Smaller balance homogeneous credit
card and consumer loans are charged off at a predetermined delinquency status or
earlier if the Company determines that the loan is uncollectible.
The allowance for loan losses increased to 1.42 times nonperforming loans
(excluding 90 days past due accruing loans) at June 30, 1998 from 1.06 times at
June 30, 1997 as a result of a 24.1% decrease in nonperforming loans.
In management's judgment, the Allowance was adequate to absorb potential losses
currently inherent in the loan portfolio at June 30, 1998. However, changes in
prevailing economic conditions in the Company's markets could result in changes
in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs in the future and,
accordingly, changes in the Allowance.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income totalled $56,827,000 and $31,220,000, for the first six
months and second quarter of 1998, respectively, an increase of $6,612,000 and
$4,859,000, or 13.2% and 18.4%, respectively, over the same periods in 1997.
Trust and investment services income increased $529,000 and $115,000, or 4.1%
and 1.9%, for the first six months and second quarter of 1998, respectively,
over the same periods in 1997.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $673,000 and $198,000, or 4.8% and
2.7%, for the first six months and second quarter of 1998, respectively, over
the same periods in 1997.
Other service charges and fees increased $1,456,000 and $654,000, or 9.8% and
9.0%, for the first six months and second quarter of 1998, respectively, over
the same periods in 1997. The increase was primarily due to higher: (1) income
earned from annuity and mutual fund sales; and (2) mortgage servicing fees for
mortgage loans that were originated and sold with servicing retained.
Other noninterest income increased $4,178,000 and $4,113,000, or 50.7% and
74.8%, for the first six months and second quarter of 1998, respectively, over
the same periods in 1997. The increase was primarily due to: (1) gains on sales
of a corporate aircraft and the Maui regional manager's residence of $3,907,000
and $2,115,000, respectively; and (2) income earned on bank owned life insurance
on certain officers. The increase was partially offset by a gain on sale of
other real estate owned ("OREO") of $3,029,000 in the second quarter of 1997.

21
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense totalled $149,859,000 for the first six months of 1998, an
increase of 1.3% over the same period in 1997. Noninterest expense totalled
$76,222,000 for the second quarter of 1998, an increase of 1.8% over the same
period a year ago.
Total personnel expense (salaries and wages and employee benefits) decreased
$4,294,000 and $2,364,000, or 5.7% and 6.3%, for the first six months and second
quarter of 1998, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1997. The
decrease was primarily due to: (1) lower salaries and wages expense as a result
of the Company's re-engineering and consolidation efforts; and (2) higher
pension credits.
Occupancy expense for the first six months of 1998 decreased $610,000, or 3.0%,
compared to the same period in 1997. The occupancy expense for the second
quarter of 1998 increased $256,000, or 2.7%, over the same period in 1997.
Equipment expense increased $551,000 and $191,000, or 4.4% and 2.9%,
respectively, for the first six months and second quarter of 1998, over the same
periods in 1997. The increase was a result of: (1) higher data processing
equipment rental expense; and (2) higher depreciation expense on furniture and
equipment.
Other noninterest expense increased $6,337,000 and $3,274,000, respectively, for
the first six months and second quarter of 1998, an increase of 15.8% and 15.4%,
respectively, over the same periods in 1997. The increase was the result of
write-downs of certain OREO of $2,101,000, higher outside service expenses
primarily related to the Year 2000 project (see Year 2000 disclosure on pages 21
to 22) and higher foreclosed property expenses. In addition, the cash surrender
value of certain executive life insurance policies increased (recorded as a
credit to insurance expense) in March 1997. This increase was partially offset
by a loss on the sale of a: (1) certain loan in June 1997; and (2) certain OREO
in March 1997.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate (exclusive of the tax equivalent
adjustment) for the first six months and second quarter of 1998 was 36.1%, as
compared to 31.5% and 32.3%, respectively, for the same periods in 1997. The
effective tax rate for the first six months and second quarter of 1997 was
positively impacted by the: (1) recognition of certain previously unrecognized
tax credits; (2) partial reversal of an overaccrual of State of Hawaii income
taxes; and (3) donation of real property to a non-profit organization.

22
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
Stockholders' equity was $754,641,000 at June 30, 1998, an increase of 3.1% over
$731,701,000 at December 31, 1997. The ratio of average stockholders' equity to
average total assets was 9.16% for the second quarter of 1998 compared to 9.10%
for the second quarter of 1997.
The primary source of funds for the dividends paid by the Company to its
stockholders is dividends received from its subsidiaries. The Bank and Pacific
One are subject to regulatory limitations on the amount of dividends they may
declare or pay. At June 30, 1998, the aggregate amount available for payment of
dividends by such subsidiaries without prior regulatory approval was
$280,459,000.
The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements
can initiate certain discretionary (and, in the case of the Company's depository
institution subsidiaries, mandatory) actions by regulators that, if undertaken,
could have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Company and its depository institution subsidiaries must
each meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of
their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. These capital amounts and classifications
are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components,
risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below, at June 30, 1998) of Tier 1 and Total capital to risk-weighted
assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets.

As of June 30, 1998, the Company and its depository institution subsidiaries
were categorized as well-capitalized under the applicable Federal regulations.
To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Company must maintain Tier 1
risk-based and Total risk-based capital ratios of 6% and 10%, respectively (as
set forth in the table above). Management is not aware of any conditions or
events subsequent to June 30, 1998, that would cause a change in the Company's
category.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
Many computer programs were written to use only two digits to identify the
year. Thus, a computer program could read the digits "00" as the year 2000 or
as the year 1900. If not corrected, the Company's system and software may fail
or create erroneous results in the year 2000. Also, microprocessors embedded in
many operating facilities -- such as elevators and communication systems -- may
cause equipment malfunctions because of the year 2000 date change. Failure by
the Company (or by third parties upon which the Company relies) to address the
year 2000 issues could cause material loss to the Company.
In 1995, management began a comprehensive program to address the year 2000
issue and ensure that the Company's computer software and hardware and other
date-sensitive facilities will continue to function properly in the year 2000
and thereafter. The Company has completed the awareness and assessment phase of
this program. The Company is well underway with renovation and is well into
testing mission-critical systems. Testing for individual mission-critical
systems is scheduled to be substantially completed by the end of 1998, with
integration testing to occur during 1999.
21
23
The Company has also begun to assess the year 2000 compliance efforts of
external parties upon which the Company relies. For example, the Company has
established a program to identify and monitor its largest borrowers and to
assess the credit risk to the Company of a failure of material borrowers to
address year 2000 issues.
Costs in connection with the year 2000 program, currently estimated at a total
of $9 million through June 30, 2000, are not anticipated to materially impact
the Company's operations. Through June 30, 1998, an estimated total of
$2,012,000 has been expended on identification, assessment, remediation and
testing as scheduled under the program.
The Company is developing contingency plans for addressing any material
failure to deal with the year 2000 date change that will address, among other
things, the Company's exposure to year 2000 noncompliance by third parties. The
Company's goal is to finalize contingency plans for mission-critical products
and services in 1999.
Even though the Company's planned software and hardware modifications and system
upgrades should adequately address year 2000 issues, there can be no assurance
that unforeseen difficulties will not arise. There is no assurance that the
failure of any external party to resolve its year 2000 issues would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Certain disclosures in this Item 3 are forward-looking statements about matters
that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's
actual results to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking
statements. See Item 2 above for a discussion of factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences.
INTEREST RATE RISK MEASUREMENT AND MANAGEMENT
The net interest income of the Company is subject to interest rate risk to the
extent the Company's interest-bearing liabilities (primarily deposits and
borrowings) mature or reprice on a different basis than its interest-earning
assets (primarily loans and investment securities). When interest-bearing
liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets during a
given period, an increase in interest rates could reduce net interest income.
Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than
interest-bearing liabilities, a decrease in interest rates could also reduce net
interest income. In addition, the impact of interest rate swings may be
exacerbated by factors such as our customers' propensity to manage their demand
deposit balances more or less aggressively or to refinance mortgage loans
depending on the interest rate environment.
The Asset/Liability Committees of each of the Company's subsidiary companies are
responsible for managing interest rate risk. Oversight for the Company taken as
a whole and individual subsidiary companies is also provided by the Treasury &
Investment Division and the Asset/Liability Committee of the Bank. The frequency
of the various Asset/Liability Committee meetings range from weekly to monthly.
Recommendations for changes to a particular subsidiary's interest rate profile,
should they be deemed necessary and exceed established policies, are made to its
Board of Directors. Other than loans that are originated and held for sale, the
Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for
trading purposes.
The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is managed primarily by taking
actions that impact certain balance sheet accounts (e.g., lengthening or
shortening maturities in the investment portfolio, changing asset and/or
liability mix -- including by increasing or decreasing the amounts of fixed
and/or variable instruments held by the Company -- to adjust sensitivity to
interest rate changes) and/or utilizing off-balance sheet instruments such as
interest rate swaps, caps or floors.
The Company models its net interest income in order to quantify its exposure to
changes in interest rates. Generally, the size of the balance sheet is held
constant and then subjected to interest rate shocks of 100 and 200 basis points
(both increases and decreases). Each account-level item is repriced according to
its respective contractual characteristics, including any imbedded options which
might exist (e.g., loans which permit the borrower to prepay the principal
balance of the loan prior to maturity without penalty). Off-balance sheet
instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps or floors are included as part of
the modeling process. For each interest rate shock scenario, net interest income
over a 12-month horizon is compared against the results of a scenario in which
no interest rate change occurs (a "flat rate scenario") to determine the level
of interest rate risk at that time.
The Company continues to monitor the projected impact of increases and decreases
in interest rates on the Company's net interest income. Exposure remains well
within board approved limits.
22
24
SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS UTILIZED AND INHERENT LIMITATIONS
The significant net interest income changes for each interest rate scenario
include assumptions based on accelerating or decelerating mortgage prepayments
in declining or rising scenarios, respectively, and adjusting deposit levels and
mix in the different interest rate scenarios. The magnitude of changes to both
areas in turn are based upon analyses of customers' behavior in differing rate
environments. However, these analyses may differ from actual future customer
behavior. For example, actual prepayments may differ from current assumptions
because prepayments are affected by many variables which cannot be predicted
with certainty (e.g., prepayments of mortgages may differ on fixed and
adjustable loans depending upon current interest rates, expectations of future
interest rates, availability of refinancing, economic benefit to borrower,
financial viability of borrower, etc.).
As with any model for analyzing interest rate risk, certain limitations are
inherent in the method of analysis presented above. For example, the actual
impact on net interest income due to certain interest rate shocks may differ
from those projected should market conditions vary from assumptions used in the
analysis. Furthermore, the analysis does not consider the effects of a changed
level of overall economic activity that could exist in certain interest rate
environments. Moreover, the method of analysis used does not take into account
the actions that management might take to respond to changes in interest rates
because of inherent difficulties in determining the likelihood or impact of any
such response.
At June 30, 1998, there was no significant change in the Company's market risk
from the information provided with respect to "Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. Quantitative and qualitative
disclosures regarding the Company's market risk are also included in
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" (page 36) and "Notes to Financial Statements" (page 47) in the
Financial Review section of the Company's Annual Report 1997.

FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC.
STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
Article 1. Establishment, Purpose, and Duration
1.1 Establishment of the Plan. First Hawaiian, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, hereby establishes a long-term incentive compensation plan to be
known as the "First Hawaiian, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan" (the "Plan"), as set
forth in this document. The Plan permits the grant of Nonqualified Stock
Options, Incentive Stock Options and Restricted Stock.
Upon approval by the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Company, subject to
ratification within nine (9) months by an affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of Shares of the common stock of First Hawaiian, Inc., the Plan shall
become effective as of November 22, 1991 (the "Effective Date"), and shall
remain in effect as provided in Section 1.3 herein.
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 Employees to those of Company 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
is largely dependent.
1
6
1.3 Duration of the Plan. Upon approval by the Board and ratification
by the stockholders of First Hawaiian, Inc., the Plan shall commence on the
Effective Date, and shall remain in effect, subject to prior termination by law
or by the Board pursuant to the right of termination it has reserved under
Article 11 herein, until all Shares subject to the Plan shall have been
purchased or acquired according to the Plan's provisions.

Article 2. Definitions and Construction
2.1 Definitions. Whenever used in the Plan, the following terms shall
have the meanings set forth below and, when the meaning is intended, the initial
letter of the word is capitalized:
(a) "Award" means, individually or collectively, a grant under
this Plan of Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock
Options and Restricted Stock.
(b) "Award Agreement" means a written agreement between the
Company and a Participant, setting forth the terms and
provisions applicable to an Award. The terms and provisions of
more than one grant may be included in a single agreement.
(c) "Board" means the Board of Directors of First Hawaiian,
Inc.
(d) "Cause" means one or more of the following reasons for
the termination of the employment of a Participant:
(1) The willful and continued failure by the
Participant to substantially perform his or her
duties with the Company (other than any such failure
resulting from the Participant's Disability or
incapacity due to mental illness), after a written
demand for substantial performance is delivered to
the Employee that specifically identifies the manner
in which the Committee believes that the Participant
has not substantially performed his or her duties,
and the Participant has failed to remedy the
situation within ten (10) business days of receiving
such notice; or
(2) The Participant's conviction for committing a felony
involving moral turpitude (all rights of appeal
having been exhausted); or
(3) The Participant's willfully engaging in gross
misconduct which is materially and demonstrably
injurious to the Company, as determined by the
3
8
Committee. However, no act or failure to act, on the
Participant's part shall be considered "willful"
unless done, or omitted to be done, by the
Participant not in good faith and without reasonable
belief that his or her action or omission was in the
best interest of the Company.
The Company shall notify the Committee if it believes a
Participant's employment has been terminated for Cause. The
Committee shall determine whether a Participant's employment
has been terminated for Cause for purposes of this Plan. The
Committee shall notify the Participant in writing that it has
made a preliminary determination that the Participant's
employment was terminated for Cause. The Participant (and, if
he or she chooses, his or her legal representative) shall have
an opportunity to be heard by the Committee concerning the
Committee's preliminary determination. After taking into
consideration the points raised by the Participant, the
Committee shall make a final determination as to whether the
Participant's employment was terminated for Cause and shall
notify the Participant in writing of its final determination.
In any case where the Company notifies the Committee that it
believes that a Participant has been terminated for Cause, the
Participant shall not be able to exercise any Option, make any
other election or take any action which would not be permitted
under the terms of the Plan or the Award Agreement following
termination of employment for Cause unless and until the
Committee makes a final decision, after hearing any points
raised by the Participant, that he or she was not terminated
for Cause.
(e) "Change in Control" means any of the following:
(1) Any "persons" (within the meaning ascribed to such
term in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and
4
9
used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, including a
"group" as defined in Section 13(d) thereof) other

Samuel M. Damon, deceased, and any other persons
acting together with them, and other than a trustee
or other fiduciary holding Shares under an employee
benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned
directly or indirectly by the stockholders of First
Hawaiian, Inc., in substantially the same proportions
as their ownership of Shares, becomes the beneficial
owner (within the meaning ascribed to such term in
rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under

securities of First Hawaiian, Inc. representing
thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the combined
voting power of First Hawaiian, Inc.'s Shares then
outstanding; or
(2) During any period of two (2) consecutive calendar
years (not including any period prior to the adoption
of this Plan), individuals who at the beginning of
such period constitute the Board (and any new
Director, whose appointment or election as a Director
was approved by a vote at least two-thirds (2/3) of
the Directors then still in office who either were
Directors at the beginning of the period or whose
appointment or election was so approved), cease for
any reason (other than natural causes) to constitute
a majority thereof; or
5
10
(3) The stockholders of First Hawaiian, Inc. approve:
(A) a plan of complete liquidation of First
Hawaiian, Inc.;
(B) an agreement for the sale or disposition of
all or substantially all First Hawaiian,
Inc.'s assets; or
(C) a merger, consolidation, or reorganization
of First Hawaiian, Inc. with or involving
any other corporation, other than a merger,
consolidation, or reorganization that would
result in the voting stock of First
Hawaiian, Inc. outstanding immediately prior
thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted
into voting stock of the surviving entity),
at least eighty percent (80%) of the
combined voting power of the stocks which is
outstanding immediately after such merger,
consolidation or reorganization unless the
Board determines by a majority vote prior to
the merger, consolidation or reorganization
that no Change in Control will occur as a
result of such transaction; or
(4) The Board agrees by a majority vote that an event has
or is about to occur that, in fairness to the
Employee, is tantamount to a Change in Control of
First Hawaiian, Inc.
A Change of Control shall occur on the first day on which any
of the preceding conditions has been satisfied. However,
notwithstanding the above, in no event shall a Change in
Control be deemed to have occurred, with respect to an
Employee, if the Employee is part of a purchasing group which
consummates the Change in Control transaction. An Employee

company or group (except for: (i) passive ownership of less

to qualify as a permanent and total disability under Code
section 22(e)(3). (k) "Effective Date" means the date on which
the Plan becomes effective, pursuant to Section 1.1. (l)
"Employee" means any full-time, nonunion employee of the

Article 3. Administration
3.1 The Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Executive
Compensation Committee of the Board, or by any other committee appointed by the
Board consisting of Directors who are not Employees. For periods before
September 1, 1992 or such earlier date as the Company shall apply the exemptions
under Rule 16b-3, as amended to be effective starting on or after May 1, 1991,
the Committee shall consist of not less than three (3) such members. Thereafter,
the Committee shall consist of not less than two (2) directors. The members of
the Committee shall be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the
discretion of, the Board.
Except as permitted under Rule 16b-3 (c)(2)(i)(A), (B), (C), and (D) under the
Exchange Act, no member of the Committee shall have received a grant of an Award
under the Plan or any similar plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
while serving on the Committee, or shall have so received such a grant at any
time within one (1) year prior to his or her service on the Committee, or, if
different, for the time period just necessary to fulfill the then current Rule
16b-3 requirements under the Exchange Act. However, if for any reason the
Committee does not qualify to administer the Plan, as contemplated by Rule 16b-3
of the Exchange Act, the Board may appoint a new Committee so as to comply with
Rule 16b-3.
3.2 Authority of the Committee. The Committee shall have full power
except as limited by law or by the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the
Company, and subject to the provisions herein: to select Key Employees to whom
Awards are granted; to determine the size and types of Awards; to determine the
terms and conditions of such Awards in a manner consistent with the Plan; to
cancel and reissue any Awards granted hereunder; to construe and interpret the
Plan and any agreement or instrument entered into under the Plan; to establish,
amend,
11
16
or waive rules and regulations for the Plan's administration; and (subject to
the provisions of Article 11 herein) to amend the terms and conditions of any
outstanding Award to the extent such terms and conditions are within the
discretion of the Committee as provided in the Plan. Further, the Committee
shall make all other determinations which may be necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan.
To the extent permissible under applicable law, the Committee may delegate to
any other person or persons any or all of its powers hereunder and the
responsibility of performing ministerial acts in the administration of the Plan;
provided, however, that only the Committee or the Board may take action
affecting an Insider.
3.3 Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions made by the
Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and all related orders or
resolutions of the Board shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons,
including the Company, its stockholders, Employees, Participants, and their
estates and beneficiaries.
12
17
Article 4. Shares Subject to the Plan
4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3
herein, the total number of Shares available for grant under the Plan may not
exceed one million (1,000,000). These one million (1,000,000) Shares shall be
reacquired Shares.
4.2 Lapsed Awards. Subject to any restriction under Rule 16b-3 under
the Exchange Act with respect to Insiders, if any Award granted under this Plan
is canceled, forfeited, terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason, any
Shares subject to such Award again shall be available for the grant of an Award
under the Plan unless an Insider had the benefits of ownership of such shares.
4.3 Adjustments in Authorized Shares. In the event of any merger,
reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, stock
dividend, split-up, Share combination, or other change in the corporate
structure of the Company affecting the number or value of Shares, such
adjustment shall be made in the number and class of Shares which may be
delivered under the Plan, and in the number and class of and/or price of Shares
subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan, as may be determined to be
appropriate and equitable by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent
dilution or enlargement of rights. The number of Shares subject to any Award
shall always be a whole number. Any adjustment of an ISO under this Section 4.3
shall be made in such manner so as not to constitute a "modification" within the
meaning of Code section 424(h)(3).
13
18
Article 5. Eligibility and Participation
5.1 Eligibility. Persons eligible to participate in this Plan include
all Key Employees of the Company, as determined by the Committee, including
Employees who are members of the Board, but excluding Directors who are not
Employees.
5.2 Actual Participation. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Committee may, from time to time, select from all eligible Key Employees, those
to whom Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of
each Award. No Employee shall have any right to be granted an Award under this
Plan. In addition, nothing in this Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way
the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's employment at any time,
nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the
Company.
14
19
Article 6. Stock Options
6.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan,
Options may be granted to Employees at any time and from time to time as shall
be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have complete discretion in
determining the number of Shares subject to Options granted to each Participant.
The Committee may grant ISOs, NQSOs, or a combination thereof. A Participant
holding an Option shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any
Shares covered by such Option, unless and until the date of issuance of the
stock certificate representing such Shares.
6.2 Incentive Stock Options.
(a) No ISO may be granted later than November 21, 2001.
(b) No Employee may receive an Award of ISOs that are first
exercisable during any calendar year to the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares (determined at the
time the options are granted) exceeds $100,000.
(c) Nothing in this Article 6 shall be deemed to prevent the grant
of NQSOs in excess of the maximum established by Code Section
422.
6.3 Reload Options. The Committee may authorize Reload Options subject
to such conditions and provisions as the Committee shall determine. Reload
Options shall not exceed the number of shares used to pay the Exercise Price,
but not any withholding due on account of the exercise for the underlying
Options. The Reload Option may not be exercised during a period longer than the
exercise period of the underlying Option it replaces. The grant of a Reload
Option shall become effective upon the exercise of the underlying Option through
the use of Shares. The Option Price for a Reload Option shall not be less than
one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Share on the date the
grant of the Reload Option becomes effective.
6.4 Award Agreement. Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement that shall specify the Exercise Price, the
15
20
duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, and
such other provisions as the Committee shall determine. The Award Agreement also
shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or a NQSO.
6.5 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of Options shall be determined
by the Committee; provided, however, that the Exercise Price shall not be less
than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of such Share on the
date the Option is granted. An ISO granted to an Employee who, at the time of
grant, owns (taking into account Code Section 424(d)) Shares representing more
than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company (a "Ten Percent Shareholder"), shall have an Exercise Price
which is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares subject to the Option.
6.6 Duration of Options. Each Option shall expire at such time as the
Committee shall determine at the time of grant. However, no ISO shall be
exercisable later than the:
(a) tenth (10th) anniversary date of its grant; or
(b) fifth (5th) anniversary date of its grant in the case
of an ISO granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder.
6.7 Exercise of Options. Options granted under the Plan 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. However, in no event may any Option granted
under this Plan become exercisable earlier than six (6) months after the date of
its grant.
6.8 Payment. Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written
notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company, setting forth the number of
Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full
payment for the Exercise Price of the Shares. The Exercise Price shall be
payable to the Company in full either: (i) in cash or its equivalent; or, if
permitted under
16
21
the Award Agreement (ii) by tendering previously acquired Shares having a Fair
Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Exercise Price pursuant
to the Option(s) being exercised; provided, however, that any Shares so tendered
by an Insider must have been beneficially owned by the Participant for at least
six (6) months prior to exercise. The Committee also may allow cashless exercise
of Options as permitted under any law or regulation applicable to bank holding
companies, or by any other means which the Committee determines to be consistent
with the Plan's purpose. The proceeds from such a payment shall be added to the
general funds of the Company and shall be used for general corporate purposes.
Payment alternatives hereunder shall be available only to the extent permissible
under Federal and state securities law, as well as any other applicable law. As
soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full
payment, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, in the Participant's
name, Share certificates in an appropriate amount based upon the number of
Options exercised.
6.9 Restrictions on Share Transferability. The Committee shall impose
such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option
under the Plan, as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation,
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. The Committee shall legend the certificates representing such Shares to
give appropriate notice of such restrictions.
6.10 Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability, or Retirement.
If the employment of a Participant is terminated by reason of Death, Disability
or Retirement, Options granted to the Participant under this Plan may be
exercised only as follows.
(a) Termination by Death. In the event the employment of a
Participant is terminated by reason of death, any
outstanding Options granted to that Participant which
17
22
are vested as of the date the Participant's employment
terminates shall, subject to Section 6.6, remain exercisable
at any time prior to their expiration date, or for one (1)
year after the date that employment is terminated, whichever
period is longer. The Options may be exercised by such person
or persons as shall have been named as the Participant's
beneficiary, or by such persons that have acquired the
Participant's rights under the Options by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution.
(b) Termination by Disability. In the event the employment of a
Participant is terminated by reason of Disability, any
outstanding Options granted to that Participant which are
vested as of the date the Participant's employment terminates
shall remain exercisable at any time prior to their expiration
date, or for one (1) year after the date that the
Participant's Disability is determined by the Committee to be
total and permanent, whichever period is shorter.
(c) Termination by Retirement. In the event the employment of a
Participant is terminated by reason of Retirement, any
outstanding Options granted to that Participant which are
vested as of the effective date of the Participant's
Retirement shall remain exercisable at any time prior to their
expiration date, or for three (3) years after the effective
date of Retirement.
(d) Exercise Limitations on ISOs. The tax treatment prescribed
under Code Section 422 may not be available if Options
designated as ISOs are not exercised within the time periods
prescribed under Code Section 422.
(e) Vesting at Termination Date. For purposes of subsections
6.10(a)-(c) above, the following Options shall be considered
vested as of the date the Participant's employment terminates.
(1) Options which were exercisable as of the date of
employment termination shall remain exercisable;
(2) An additional portion of the Options shall become
exercisable upon termination of employment. This
18
23
portion shall be a percentage of the Options equal
to the product of (A) and (B) where:
(A) is the percentage of the Options which
otherwise would have first become
exercisable at the end of the year in which
the employment termination occurs; and
(B) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of full weeks of employment during
the year in which employment termination
occurs, and the denominator of which is
fifty-two (52).
(3) Except as provided in Section 6.10(f), Options which
are scheduled to vest in a year which begins after
the end of the year in which employment termination
occurs, shall be canceled.
(f) Notwithstanding the exercise periods described in subsections
6.10(a)-(c) above, the Committee shall have the authority, in
its sole discretion, to accelerate the vesting of Options
which are outstanding as of the date of employment termination
for one of the reasons described in this Section 6.10.
6.11 Termination of Employment for Other Reasons. If the employment of
a Participant shall terminate for any reason other than the reasons set forth in
Section 6.10, or for Cause, all nonvested Options held by the Participant shall
vest only if the Committee determines that they shall vest. The Committee, in
its sole discretion, may vest all or any portion of such Options. Thereafter,
all vested Options shall remain exercisable at any time prior to their
expiration date, or for three (3) months after the date that the employment was
terminated, whichever period is shorter. If the Committee does not vest such
Options, the Options shall be deemed for all purposes to have remained unvested
upon the termination of the Participant. If the employment of a Participant
shall terminate for Cause, all outstanding Options immediately shall be
surrendered to the Company and no additional exercise period shall be allowed,
regardless of the otherwise vested status of the options.
6.12 Nontransferability of Options. No Option granted under the Plan
may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or
19
24
otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. All Options granted to a Participant under the Plan
shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant.
Article 7. Restricted Stock
7.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of
the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time may grant Shares of
Restricted Stock to eligible Employees in such amounts as the Committee shall
determine. Such Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued for no consideration
other than services rendered.
7.2 Award Agreement. Each Restricted Stock grant shall be evidenced by
an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period (or Periods) of Restriction,
the number of Shares of Restricted Stock granted, and such other provisions as
the Committee shall determine.
7.3 Transferability. Except as provided in this Article 7, Shares of
Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction,
or upon earlier satisfaction of any other conditions, as specified by the
Committee in its sole discretion and set forth in the Award Agreement. The
Committee may provide that Shares of Restricted Stock may be surrendered to
satisfy the Exercise Price of Options granted to a Participant, subject to such
conditions as the Committee shall set forth in its discretion, before the Period
of Restriction lapses for other dispositions of the Restricted Stock. However,
in no event may any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan vest earlier than
six (6) months following the date of its grant. Before the end of the Period of
Restriction rights with respect to the Restricted Stock granted to a Participant
under the Plan shall be available only to a Participant during his or her
lifetime.
20
25
7.4 Other Restrictions. The Committee may impose such other
restrictions on any Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan as
it deems advisable including, without limitation, restrictions based upon the
achievement of specific performance goals (Company-wide, divisional, or other
unit of the Company and/or individual); shall impose restrictions upon transfer
of Shares after the Period of Restriction as may be required under applicable
Federal or state securities laws; and may legend the certificates representing
Restricted Stock to give appropriate notice of such restrictions.
7.5 Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this
Article 7, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant
made under the Plan shall become freely transferable by the Participant after
the last day of the Period of Restriction. Once the restrictions on such Shares
lapse, the Participant shall be entitled to have the legend added pursuant to
Section 7.4 removed from his or her Share certificate.
7.6 Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Participants
holding Shares of Restricted Stock may exercise full voting rights with respect
to those Shares.
7.7 Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of
Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock shall be entitled
to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such
Shares while they are so held. The Committee shall establish, in its discretion,
the time at which the Participant shall receive such dividends and distributions
which may be any time from the date on which they are paid generally to
shareholders to the end of the Period of Restriction. If any such dividends or
distributions are paid in Shares, those Shares shall be subject to the same
restrictions on transferability and vesting as the Shares of Restricted Stock
with respect to which they were paid.
7.8 Escrow. In order to administer the restrictions set forth in this
Article, the certificates evidencing Shares granted hereunder, although issued
in the name of the Participant concerned, shall be held by the Company in escrow
subject to delivery to the Participant or to the Company at such times and
21
26
in such amounts as shall be under the terms of this Plan directed by the
Committee. Certificates evidencing whole Shares issued as a stock dividend on,
or in any split-up of, Shares so held in escrow (but not shares acquired by a
Participant's exercise of subscription rights in respect of Shares held in
escrow) shall likewise be held in escrow by the Company on the terms hereinabove
set forth but any fractional Shares so issued shall not be subject to the escrow
provisions but shall be the property of the Participant.
7.9 Termination of Employment. If the employment of a Participant shall
terminate for any reason, all nonvested Shares of Restricted Stock held by the
Participant upon the effective date of employment termination shall vest only if
the Committee determines that they shall vest. The number of Shares of
Restricted Stock which are considered vested as of the date the Participant's
employment terminates shall be determined in accordance with the rules in
Section 6.10(e) for the vesting of Options.
With the exception of a termination of employment for Cause, the Committee, in
its sole discretion, may provide for lapsing of the restrictions on Restricted
Stock following employment termination, upon such terms and provisions as it
deems proper. If the Committee does not do so, the restrictions upon Restricted
Shares shall be deemed for all purposes not to have lapsed upon the termination
of employment of the Participant.
22
27
Article 8. Beneficiary Designation
8.1 Beneficiary Designations. Each Participant under the Plan may, from
time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named
contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid
in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such
benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same
Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective
only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Secretary of the Company
during the Participant's lifetime. In the absence of any such designation,
benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant's death shall be paid to the
Participant's estate.
8.2 Action by Beneficiary. To the extent permitted under the terms and
provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement, after the Participant's death
the Participant's beneficiary (or, if there is no beneficiary, the executor of
the Participant's estate) may elect within the applicable period to:
(a) exercise vested Options which were awarded to the
Participant;
(b) have restrictions removed on vested Restricted Stock;
and
(c) make such other elections and take such other actions as are
permitted under the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement.
23
28
Article 9. Rights of Employees
9.1 Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in
any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's employment at
any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of
the Company.
For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant between the
Company and any one of its Subsidiaries (or between Subsidiaries) shall not be
deemed a termination of employment.
9.2 Participation. No Employee shall have the right to be selected as a
Key Employee or to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so
selected, to be selected to receive a future Award.
9.3 Interest in Particular Property. No Participant shall have, under
any circumstances, any interest whatsoever, vested or contingent, in any
particular property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary, or in any
particular Share or Shares of the Company that may be held by the Company or any
Subsidiary (other than Shares of Restricted Stock held in escrow by the Company)
by virtue of any Award.
9.4 Additional Incentive Plans. The Plan shall not be deemed a
substitute for, and shall not preclude the establishment or continuation of any
other plan, practice, or arrangement that may now or hereafter be provided for
the payment of compensation, special awards, or employee benefits to Employees
of the Company and its Subsidiaries generally, or to any class or group of
Employees, including without limitation, any savings, thrift, profit-sharing,
pension, retirement, excess benefit, insurance, health care plans, or other
employee benefit plans. Any such arrangements may be authorized by the Company
and its Subsidiaries and payment thereunder made independently of the Plan.

Article 10. Change in Control
10.1 Consequences of Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change
in Control, unless otherwise specifically prohibited by the terms of Article 15:
(a) Any and all Options, granted hereunder and held for at
least six (6) months shall become immediately
exercisable;
(b) Any Period of Restriction periods and other
restrictions imposed on Restricted Shares shall lapse,
and within ten (10) business days after the occurrence
of a Change in Control, the stock certificates
representing Shares of Restricted Stock, without any

and state securities laws), shall be delivered to the
applicable Participants; and
(c) Subject to Articles 11 and 15, 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.
The Committee may, at its discretion, include such further provisions and
limitations in any Participant's Award Agreement, as the Committee may deem
equitable and in the best interests of the Company.
25
30
Article 11. Amendment, Modification, and Termination
11.1 Amendment, Modification, and Termination. With the approval of the
Board, at any time and from time to time, the Committee may terminate, amend, or
modify the Plan. However, without the approval of the stockholders of the
Company (as may be required by the Code, by the Insider trading rules of Section
16 of the Exchange Act, by any national securities exchange or system on which
the Shares are then listed or reported, or by a regulatory body having
jurisdiction with respect hereto) no such termination, amendment, or
modification may:
(a) Increase the total amount of Shares which may be issued under
this Plan, except as provided in Section 4.3; or
(b) Change the class of Employees eligible to participate
in the Plan; or
(c) Materially increase the cost of the Plan or materially
increase the benefits to Participants; or

previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the
Participant holding such Award.
11.3 Rule 16b-3 Under the Exchange Act. The Plan is intended to comply
with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to Insiders.

appropriate, may amend the Plan to comply with the requirements of the amended
Rule 16b-3 or its successor provision or provisions.
26
31
Article 12. Withholding
12.1 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to
deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount
sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and local taxes (including the
Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to
any grant, exercise, payment made under or as a result of this Plan or any other
taxable event resulting from this Plan.
12.2 Share Withholding. With respect to withholding required upon the
exercise of Options, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock or upon
any other taxable event hereunder, Participants may elect, subject to the
approval of the Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or
in part, by having the Company withhold from the Shares issued or by tendering
to the Company any Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to
be determined in an amount up to the maximum marginal total tax which could be
imposed on the transaction. In the case of a Participant who is an Insider, all
elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, signed by the Participant, and
either:
(a) Delivered to the Committee at least six (6) months prior to
the date specified by the Participant on which the taxable
transaction (i.e., the exercise of the Option, the lapse of
restrictions on Restricted Stock, etc.) is to occur; or
(b) Be made pursuant to an exercise of an Option or the vesting of
an Award which occurs during a "window period." For this
purpose, "window period" means the period beginning on the
third (3rd) business day following the date of public release
of the Company's quarterly sales and earnings information, and
ending on the twelfth (12th) business day following such date.

13.1 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of
the Committee, or of the Board, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be
imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or
resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be
a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or
failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by
him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company's approval, or paid by him or
her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding
against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at
its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to
handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of
indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to
which such persons may be entitled under the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the
Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
28
33

substantially all of the business and/or assets of First Hawaiian, Inc.
29
34

ascribed to them in the then current Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

this Plan upon the Participant's agreement that all disputes concerning Awards
under this Plan be settled by arbitration or another procedure prescribed by the
Committee.

Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
Article 1. Establishment, Purpose, and Duration
1.1 Establishment of the Plan. Effective as of January 1, 1992, First
Hawaiian, Inc., a Delaware corporation, hereby establishes this "First Hawaiian,
Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan" (the "Plan"), as set forth in this document. The
Plan permits the grant of Awards designed to provide cash payments in amounts
that are a function of (i) a predetermined target for each Participant and (ii)
the extent to which specified performance goals are achieved.
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 Employees to those of Company shareholders, and by providing Participants
with an incentive for outstanding performance. The Plan is further intended to
enable the Company to motivate, attract, and retain the services of Participants
upon whose judgment, interest, and special effort the successful conduct of its
operation is largely dependent.
1.3 Duration of the Plan. Subject to prior termination by law or by the
Board pursuant to the right of termination it has reserved under Article 9
herein, the Plan shall continue in effect indefinitely.

44
Article 2. Definitions and Construction
2.1 Definitions. Whenever used in the Plan, the following terms shall
have the meanings set forth below and, when the meaning is intended, the initial
letter of the word is capitalized:
(a) "Award" means, individually or collectively, an award granted
under this Plan.
(b) "Board" means the Board of Directors of First Hawaiian,
Inc.
(c) "Change in Control" means any of the following:
(1) Any "persons" (within the meaning ascribed to such
term in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and used
in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, including a
"group" as defined in Section 13(d) thereof) other
than the Trustees under the Will and of the Estate of
Samuel M. Damon, deceased, and any other persons
acting together with them, or other than a trustee or
other fiduciary holding common stock of First
Hawaiian, Inc. under an employee benefit plan of the
Company, or a corporation owned directly or
indirectly by the stockholders of First Hawaiian,
Inc., in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of common stock of First Hawaiian, Inc.,
becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning
ascribed to such term in Rule 13d-3 of the General
Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act)
directly or indirectly, of securities of First
Hawaiian, Inc. representing thirty-five percent (35%)
or more of the combined voting power of First
Hawaiian, Inc.'s Shares then outstanding; or
(2) During any period of two (2) consecutive calendar
years (not including any period prior to the adoption

any new Director, whose appointment or election as a
Director was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors then still in

remaining outstanding or by being converted
into voting stock of the surviving entity),
at least eighty percent (80%) of the
combined voting power of the stocks which is
outstanding immediately after such merger,
consolidation or reorganization, unless the
Board determines by a majority vote prior to
the merger, consolidation or reorganization
that no Change in Control will occur as a
result of such transaction; or
(4) The Board agrees by a majority vote that an event has
or is about to occur that, in fairness to the
Employee, is tantamount to a Change in Control of
First Hawaiian, Inc.
A Change of Control shall occur on the first day on which any
of the preceding conditions has been
3
46
satisfied. However, notwithstanding the above, a Change in
Control shall not be deemed to have occurred, with respect to

participate under Section 3.2 of this Plan and accrue a Supplemental Retirement
Benefit.
Section 2.3 Termination of Employment.
If a Participant terminates employment with the Participating Employers

Benefit. No other Participants shall be entitled to a Grandfathered Supplemental
Account or a Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefit.
(b) A Grandfathered Participant's vested interest in his Grandfathered

designated by the Committee. The Committee shall designate whether the
Participant is to participate as a Group I Participant or a Group II

ARTICLE IV
GRANDFATHERED BENEFITS
Section 4.1 Grandfathered Supplemental Accounts.
(a) (1) For each Plan Year commencing after December 31, 1997, the
Participating Employers shall allocate to the Supplemental Account of a
Grandfathered Participant the amount, if any, equal to the difference between
(i) the amount of the Profit Sharing Contributions allocable to him for such
Plan Year without giving effect to Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code and
using the definition of Compensation in this Plan and (ii) the amount of the
Profit Sharing Contributions actually allocated to him under the Profit Sharing
Plan for such Plan Year. The amount to be allocated to any Grandfathered
Supplemental Accounts shall not be reduced by the amount the Participating
Employers are required by law to pay to a governmental taxing authority as the
Grandfathered Participant's portion of any withholding taxes, including taxes
imposed on employees by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act of Chapter 21 of
the Code.
(2) A Grandfathered Participant shall be entitled to an allocation
under this Section 4.1(a) for a Plan Year only if one of the following
conditions is satisfied:
(i) He is employed by a Participating Employer or an
Affiliate as of the last day of such Plan Year;
(ii) He died while in the employ of a Participating
Employer or an Affiliate during such Plan Year;
(iii) He terminated employment due to a Disability (as
defined in the Profit Sharing Plan) during such Plan Year; or
(iv) He was on a leave of absence at the close of such
Plan Year and received Compensation during such Plan Year.
(b) The Participating Employers shall make allocations to a
Grandfathered Participant's Grandfathered Supplemental Account for a Plan
9
78
Year as of the last day of such Plan Year.
(c) A Grandfathered Participant's vested interest in his Grandfathered
Supplemental Account shall be the same percentage as his vested interest in his
Profit Sharing Account.
(d) As of the last day of each Plan Year the Committee shall adjust the
balance, if any, of a Grandfathered Participant's Grandfathered Supplemental
Account as follows:
(1) First, the balance of the Grandfathered Supplemental Account
as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year shall be adjusted by multiplying
such balance by a number equal to one plus the decimal equivalent of the
percentage yield as of the first week of the Plan Year on Treasury notes having
five year maturities. The amount so credited shall not be reduced by the amount,
if any, the Participating Employers are required by law to pay to a governmental
taxing authority as the Participant's portion of any withholding taxes,
including taxes imposed on employees by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act
of Chapter 21 of the Code.
(2) Second, the Committee shall credit such adjusted balance with
the allocation, if any, to the Grandfathered Supplemental Account under Section
4.1(a) for such Plan Year.
(e) A Grandfathered Participant shall be entitled to commence
distribution of his Grandfathered Supplemental Account during the Plan Year
following his termination of employment with the Participating Employers and the
Affiliates. In the case of the death of a Grandfathered Participant,
distribution of the vested balance of his Grandfathered Supplemental Account
shall be made to his Beneficiary as soon as practicable after the Grandfathered
Participant's death.
(f) A Grandfathered Participant's Grandfathered Supplemental Account
shall be distributed in such form (including, but not limited to, a lump sum or
periodic payments) as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. A
Grandfathered Participant may by written request filed with the Committee prior
to his termination of employment with the Participating
10
79
Employers and the Affiliates that the Committee authorize a distribution of his
Grandfathered Supplemental Account in a specific form. A Beneficiary may make a
similar request prior to commencement of distribution of the Grandfathered
Participant's Grandfathered Supplement Account. The Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall determine whether to grant any such request.
(g) All distributions of Grandfathered Supplemental Accounts shall be
reduced by any amount of withholding taxes that the Participating Employers are
required by law to withhold.
(h) Withdrawals and loans shall not be permitted from any Grandfathered
Supplemental Accounts.
Section 4.2 Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefits.
(a) A Grandfathered Participant shall be credited with a
Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefit equal to the difference, if any,
between (i) the amount of his vested accrued benefit under the Retirement Plan
prior to application of Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code and using the
definition of Compensation in this Plan and (ii) the amount of his vested
accrued benefit under the Retirement Plan. Clause (i) of the prior sentence
shall be determined as though Section 1.2 of the Retirement Plan had not been
amended by the Board on September 21, 1995.
(b) (1) A Grandfathered Participant shall be entitled to commence
distribution of his Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefit as soon as
practicable after the later of age 65 or his Late Retirement Date (as defined in
the Retirement Plan).
(2) If a Grandfathered Participant is eligible to retire on an Early
Retirement Date, he may request in writing filed with the Committee to have his
Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefit commence at a designated date before
his 65th birthday. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine
whether to grant such request. If the Committee approves such early retirement
of a Group I Participant, his early retirement
11
80
benefit calculated under this Section 4.2(b)(2) shall be reduced by 3% for each
year by which the benefit commencement date precedes his 62nd birthday (prorated
for partial years on a monthly basis). If the Committee approves such early
retirement of a Group II Participant, his early retirement benefit calculated
under this Section 4.2(b)(2) shall be reduced by 3% for each year by which the
benefit commencement date precedes his 65th birthday (prorated for partial years
on a monthly basis).
(c) A Grandfathered Participant's Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued
Benefit, including survivor benefits, shall normally be payable in the same form
and at the same times as the payment of his accrued benefit in the Retirement
Plan. A Grandfathered Participant may, however, request in a writing filed with
the Committee prior to his termination of employment with the Participating
Employers and the Affiliates that his Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefit
be distributed in a lump sum of Actuarial Equivalent value. The Committee, in
its sole discretion, shall determine whether to grant such a request.
(d) If a married Grandfathered Participant with a vested interest in his
Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefit dies prior to commencement of the
distribution thereof, his surviving spouse shall be entitled to the survivor
annuity that would have been payable under the Grandfathered Supplemental
Accrued Benefit that would have been payable if the Grandfathered Participant
had retired on the day before his death and elected a 50% joint and survivor
annuity. A surviving spouse may, however, request in a writing filed with the
Committee prior to commencement of payment of such survivor annuity that such
benefit be distributed in a lump sum of Actuarial Equivalent value. The
Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether to grant such a
request.
(e) For purposes of determining an actuarial equivalent form of a
Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefit, the definition of "Actuarial
Equivalent" in the Retirement Plan shall apply, provided that the amount of lump
sum payments of a Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefit shall
12
81
be determined by using the applicable mortality table and the applicable
interest rate. The term "applicable mortality table" means the table prescribed
by the Secretary of the Treasury, which table shall be based on the prevailing
commissioners' standard table (described in Section 807(d)(5)(A) of the Code)
used to determine reserves for group annuity contracts issued on the date as of
which present value is being determined (without regard to any other
subparagraph of Section 807(d)(5) of the Code). The term "applicable interest
rate" means the annual rate of interest on 30-year Treasury securities for the
first full calendar month preceding the first day of the Plan Year in which the
lump sum distribution occurs.
(f) Withdrawals and loans shall not be permitted from any Grandfathered
Supplemental Accrued Benefit.
(g) All distributions of Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefit
shall be reduced by any amount of withholding taxes that the Participating
Employers are required by law to withhold.
Section 4.3 Change In Control.
If the terms of a Change in Control provide that this Plan shall be
assumed by the successor organization, then this Plan shall continue in
accordance with its terms. If, however, the terms of a Change in Control do not
so provide, then immediately prior to the occurrence of such a Change in Control
the Plan shall automatically terminate and each Grandfathered Participant shall
receive immediately prior to such Change in Control a lump sum distribution of
his Grandfathered Supplemental Account and a lump sum of Actuarial Equivalent
value of his Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefit.

determined at age 65,
(iii) The value of his vested Grandfathered Supplemental Account

monthly life annuity of Actuarial Equivalent value, and
(ix) The value of his vested interest in the Excess Benefit
14
83
Plan converted to a monthly life annuity of Actuarial Equivalent value.
(b) If the aggregate amount of the reductions in items (i) through
(ix) of Section 5.1(a) exceeds one-twelfth of the Participant's Target
Retirement Amount, the Participant shall not receive a Supplemental Retirement
Benefit. A Grandfathered Participant shall, however, be entitled to his
Grandfathered Supplemental Account and his Grandfathered Accrued Benefit.
Section 5.2 Deferred Retirement.
If a vested Participant retires subsequent to his Normal Retirement
Date, the Participating Employer shall pay the Participant a Supplemental
Retirement Benefit calculated pursuant to Section 5.1, provided that items (i)
through (ix) of Section 5.1(a) shall be calculated based upon the Participant's
age and the value of such benefits as of his retirement date.
Section 5.3 Early Retirement.
(a) If a vested Participant retires at an Early Retirement Date, the
Participating Employer shall pay the Participant a monthly Supplemental
Retirement Benefit calculated pursuant to Section 5.1, provided that item (ii)
of Section 5.1(a) shall be calculated as 50% of the Participant's primary Social
Security benefit projected to be paid at age 65 based on the then current law
and assuming no future increases in Compensation.
(b) (1) If a Group I Participant retires with the approval of the
Committee, his Target Retirement Amount shall be reduced by 3% for each year by
which the benefit commencement date precedes his 62nd birthday (prorated for
partial years on a monthly basis). If such a Participant retires without
approval of the Committee, his Target Retirement Amount shall be reduced by 5%
for each year by which the benefit commencement date precedes his 65th birthday
(prorated for partial years on a monthly basis). For such a Participant who
retires without approval of the Committee, his Target Retirement Amount shall be
further reduced by a fraction equal to his
15
84
actual years of Credited Service at termination over years of Credited Service
the Participant would have had at age 65.
(2) If a Group II Participant retires with the approval of the
Committee, his Target Retirement Amount shall be reduced by 3% for each year by
which the benefit commencement date precedes his 65th birthday (prorated for
partial years on a monthly basis). If such a Participant retires without
approval of the Committee, his Target Retirement Amount shall be reduced by 5%
for each year by which the benefit commencement date precedes his 65th birthday
(prorated for partial years on a monthly basis). For such a Participant who
retires without approval of the Committee, his Target Retirement Amount shall be
further reduced by a fraction equal to his actual years of Credited Service at
termination over years of Credited Service the Participant would have had at age
65.
(c) A Participant may elect to delay the receipt of early retirement
benefits if the election is filed at least 30 days before his termination of
employment. Benefits may not be delayed beyond age 65.
Section 5.4 Early Termination.
(a) If a vested Participant terminates employment prior to his
attainment of an Early Retirement Date, the Participating Employer shall pay the
Participant a monthly Supplemental Retirement Benefit equal to clause (i) below
multiplied by clause (ii) below:
(i) The benefit calculated pursuant to Section 5.1, provided that
item (ii) of Section 5.1(a) shall be calculated as 50% of the
Participant's primary Social Security benefit projected to be paid at

Compensation.
(ii) A fraction equal to the Participant's years of Credited
Service at termination of employment over the years of Credited Service
he would have had at age 65.
(b) A Participant may elect to delay the receipt of early termination
16
85
benefits if the election is filed at least 30 days before his termination of
employment. Benefits may not be delayed beyond age 65.
Section 5.5 Change in Control Benefits.
(a) If a Participant is Involuntarily Terminated within the 36 month-
period following a Change in Control, he shall be granted three extra years of
Credited Service under the Plan, and the greater of Compensation for the prior
12-month period or Final Average Compensation shall be used in determining his
Supplemental Retirement Benefit. For such an Involuntarily Terminated
Participant, his Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall commence to be paid at
the later of his attainment of age 55 or his date of termination of employment.
Such benefit shall be calculated pursuant to Section 5.3 and as if the
Participant retired with the approval of the Committee.
(b) A Participant may elect to delay the receipt of change of control
benefits if the election is filed at least 30 days before his termination of
employment. Benefits may not be delayed beyond age 65.
(c) For purposes of this Section 5.5, "Involuntarily Terminated" means a
Participant is discharged or resigns in response to a (i) change in day-to-day
duties, (ii) reduction in Compensation or benefits, (iii) downward change of
title, or (iv) relocation requested by a Participating Employer.
Section 5.6 Disability Retirement Benefit.
(a) If a Participant terminates employment prior to his Normal
Retirement Date as a result of a Disability, the Participating Employer shall
pay such Participant a Supplemental Retirement Benefit commencing at his Normal
Retirement Date equal to the amount he would have received at such time under
Section 5.1. For purposes of this calculation, Vesting Service and Credited
Service shall continue to accrue during the period of Disability and the
Participant's Final Average Compensation shall be based only on the amounts
earned during the 60 months prior to Disability if this provides the Participant
with a greater benefit.
17
86
(b) For purposes of this Section 5.6, "Disability" means Disability as
defined in the Profit Sharing Plan.
Section 5.7 Death Prior to Commencement of Benefit Payments.
If a vested Participant dies prior to commencement of benefit
payments under this Plan, the Participating Employer shall pay a supplemental
survivor benefit to the Participant's surviving spouse. The amount of this
supplemental survivor benefit shall be equal to one-half of the monthly accrued
Supplemental Retirement Benefit the Participant would have been entitled to if
he had terminated employment as of the date of his death and elected a 50%
survivor annuity option. The supplemental survivor benefit shall be payable
monthly for the life of the Spouse.
Section 5.8 Benefit Payments.
(a) The normal form of benefit payment shall be a straight life annuity.
Subject to Section 5.8(b), the Participant may request one of the following
optional benefit forms of Actuarial Equivalent value:

reduced amount of monthly income payable to the Participant and providing for
the continuance of such income payments in (i) the same amount or (ii) one-half
of such reduced amount to a contingent annuitant (a person designated by the
Participant), if living, after the Participant's death. Monthly payments to the
contingent annuitant shall commence on the first day of the calendar month
following the month in which the Participant died, and shall continue monthly
with the last payment being due in the calendar month in which the contingent
annuitant's death occurs.
(2) A ten-year certain and life option providing for actuarially
reduced payments to the Participant for his life, and if the Participant's death
occurs within a period of ten years after his benefit commencement date, payment
of such amount to the person designated by the Participant for the balance of
the ten-year period.
18
87
(3) A fifteen-year certain and life option providing for
actuarially reduced payments to the Participant for his life, and if the
Participant's death occurs within a period of fifteen years after his benefit
commencement date, payment of such amount to the person designated by the
Participant for the balance of the fifteen-year period.
(4) A lump-sum distribution.
(b) A Participant may request an optional form of benefit payment or
revoke such a request by filing a written request or revocation with the
Committee at least 30 days prior to commencement of the benefit payments. The
Committee in its sole discretion shall determine whether to grant a request for
an optional form of benefit payment.
Section 5.9 Income Tax Withholding.
All distributions under this Article V shall be reduced by any amount of
withholding taxes that the Participating Employers are required by law to
withhold.

88
ARTICLE VI
ACCELERATED DISTRIBUTION AND BENEFIT MAKEUP
Section 6.1 Accelerated Distribution.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, at any time a
Participant shall be entitled to receive, upon written request to the Committee,
a lump-sum distribution of the Actuarial Equivalent of his unpaid vested
Grandfathered Supplemental Account, Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefit,
and Supplemental Retirement Benefit on the date on which the Committee receives
the written request. The amount of such benefits for a Participant who is then
currently accruing benefits under this Plan shall be calculated assuming the
Participant had terminated without permission on the date the distribution is
requested. Each accelerated distribution shall be subject to a penalty equal to
10% of the amount that would otherwise be distributed, and that amount shall be
forfeited by the Participant. The amount payable under this Section 6.1 shall be
paid in a lump sum within 65 days following the Committee's receipt of the
Participant's notice. Upon such payment, the Plan's obligations to the
Participant for all benefits accrued to such date shall be extinguished.
(b) If a Participant requests and obtains an accelerated distribution
under this Section 6.1 and remains employed by a Participating Employer, the
Participant shall cease to accrue further benefits under this Plan for the
12-month period following his request. If the Participant thereafter accrues any
additional benefits under this Plan, any future payments shall be calculated in
such manner as the Committee shall deem appropriate to prevent duplication of
payment for such accelerated distribution.
Section 6.2 Excise Tax and Lost Benefit Makeup.
If as a result of participating in the Plan a Participant is required to
pay additional excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code
(herein the "Code") or receives a smaller benefit from any other employee
20
89
benefit plan as a result of limitation imposed by Section 280G of the Code, then
a makeup amount shall be payable from the Plan. This amount shall be equal to
the amount of Section 4999 excise tax payable and any lost benefit from such
other plan due to Section 280G of the Code, as a result of participation in the
Plan, plus any excise tax and income taxes payable due to this payment. The
Committee and the Participant shall cooperate in good faith in making such
determination and in providing the necessary information for this purpose.
Section 6.3 Income Tax Withholding.
All distributions under this Article VI shall be reduced by any amount
of withholding taxes that the Participating Employers are required by law to
withhold.

ARTICLE VII
CERTAIN CONTRACTS AND PRIOR EMPLOYERS
Section 7.1 Additional Benefits Under Contracts.
In addition to the benefits described in Articles III, IV, V, and VI,
this Plan incorporates the provisions of any individual contract between a
Participating Employer and a Participant to the extent such contract provides
earlier vesting or additional benefits for the Participant under this Plan. This
Section 7.1 shall be interpreted and administered so that it neither conflicts
with the contractual provisions that promise earlier vesting or additional
benefits under this Plan nor results in the payment of duplicate benefits when
payments under this Plan and under the contractual provision are considered
together.
Section 7.2 First Interstate Bank of Hawaii.
As of July 1, 1992, the First Interstate Bank of Hawaii Supplemental
Retirement Plan (the "FIHI Plan") was merged into this Plan. Benefits accrued
under the FIHI Plan prior to its merger into this Plan shall be preserved under
a separate benefit schedule of this Plan maintained by the Committee and shall
be coordinated with other Plan benefits as follows. After the merger of the FIHI
Plan into this Plan, no new benefits shall accrue under the provisions of the
FIHI Plan or the separate benefit schedule pertaining to it hereunder. In
addition, there shall be no duplication of the benefits accrued under the FIHI
Plan prior to the merger and benefits that are provided for the same period of
service to the same individuals under this Plan. To this end, any payments owed
under the separate benefit schedule for the former FIHI Plan shall be determined
when Plan benefits are about to commence, and the benefit payable under this
Plan to a Participant shall be the greater of his benefit under the FIHI Plan as
of July 1, 1992 or his benefit under this Plan calculated from his date of hire
with First Interstate Bank of Hawaii to the date of his termination of
employment covered by this
22
91
Plan.
Section 7.3 Pioneer Federal Savings Bank.
If a Participant's accrued benefit in the Retirement Plan includes
amounts that accrued prior to January 1, 1994 under the Retirement Pension Plan
of Pioneer Federal Savings Bank, his Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefit
shall be determined under Section 4.2, provided his Supplemental Retirement
Benefit and Grandfathered Supplemental Accrued Benefit shall be based only on
Credited Service (as defined in the Retirement Plan) earned after December 31,
1993.

The Participating Employers shall indemnify and save harmless and/or
insure each fiduciary who is an employee or a director of a Participating

Section 9.1 Amendment.
(a) The Board may at any time amend this Plan.
(b) No Plan amendment shall adversely affect Participants who

Participant's Grandfathered Supplemental Account, Grandfathered Supplemental
Accrued Benefit, or Supplemental Retirement Benefit.

If this Plan is merged into or consolidated with, or if its assets or
liabilities are transferred to, any other plan, the provisions of such
subsequent plan must provide that each Participant of this Plan would, if the

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.1 Unfunded Plan.
(a) The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily to
provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of "management or
highly-compensated employees" within the meaning of Sections 201, 301, and 401
of ERISA, and therefore exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title
I of ERISA. Accordingly, the Plan shall terminate and no further benefits shall
accrue hereunder if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by
an opinion of counsel that the Plan constitutes an employee pension benefit plan
within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA that is not so exempt. In the event
of such termination, all ongoing accruals shall terminate, no additional
benefits shall accrue under the Plan, and the amount of each Participant's
vested interest in the Plan shall be distributed to such Participant at such
time and in such manner as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines.
(b) In the event of the Company's or a Participating Employer's
insolvency, Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns
shall have no legal or equitable rights, interest, or claims in any property or
assets of the Company or a Participating Employer, nor shall they be
Beneficiaries of, or have any right, claim, or interest in any life insurance
policies, annuity contracts, or the proceeds therefrom owned or which may be
acquired by the Company or a Participating Employer. In such event, any and all
of the Company's or the Participating Employer's assets and policies shall be,
and remain, the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company or the
Participating Employer. The Company's and the Participating Employers'
obligations under the Plan shall be that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to
pay money in the future.
(c) The Participating Employers shall be responsible for the payment of
all benefits provided under the Plan. At its discretion, the
28
97
Company may establish one or more trusts, with such trustees as the Committee
may approve, for the purpose of providing for the payment of such benefits. Such
trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to
the claims of the Company's and the Participating Employers' creditors. To the
extent any benefits provided under the Plan are actually paid from any such
trust, the Participating Employers shall have no further obligation with respect
thereto, but to the extent not so paid, such benefits shall remain the
obligation of, and shall be paid by, the Participating Employer.
Section 10.2 Rights of Participants.
(a) No Participant shall, by reason of his participation in this Plan,
have any interest in (i) any specific asset or assets of a Participating
Employer or an Affiliate or (ii) any stock rights of any kind.
(b) Neither the adoption of this Plan, the making of any allocation or
accrual under this Plan, nor any action of a board of directors or the Committee
in connection with the Plan shall be held or construed to confer upon any person
any legal right to be continued as an officer or employee of a Participating
Employer or an Affiliate.
(c) No Participant shall have the right to assign, pledge, encumber, or
otherwise dispose of (except to a Beneficiary upon his death) any of his
interest in this Plan; nor shall his interest be subject to garnishment,
attachment, transfer by operation of law, or any legal process.
Section 10.3 Misc. Rules.
(a) Wherever used herein the masculine gender shall include the feminine
and the singular number shall include the plural, unless the context clearly
indicates otherwise.
(b) The headings of articles and sections are included herein solely for
convenience of reference, and if there is any conflict between such headings and
the text of the Plan, the text shall be controlling.
29
98
(c) Wherever a Participating Employer, the Company, or a board of
directors is permitted or required to do or perform any act, matter, or thing
under the terms of the Plan, it may be done and performed by any officer of a
Participating Employer or the Company thereunto duly authorized.
(d) To the extent not preempted by ERISA, the Plan shall be governed,
construed, administered, and regulated according to the laws of the State of
Hawaii.
(e) All consents, elections, applications, designations, etc. required
or permitted under the Plan must be made on forms prescribed by the Committee,
and shall be recognized only if properly completed, executed, and filed with the
Committee.
(f) (1) Every person receiving or claiming benefits under the Plan shall
be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent and of age until the date on
which the Committee receives a written notice, in a form and manner acceptable
to the Committee, that such person is incompetent or a minor for whom a guardian
or other person legally vested with the care of his person or estate has been
appointed. If, however, the Committee finds that any person to whom a benefit is
payable under the Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of incompetency
or because he or she is a minor, any payment due (unless a prior claim therefor
shall have been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may be paid to
the spouse, a child, a parent, a brother or sister, or to any person or
institution considered by the Committee to have incurred expense for such person
otherwise entitled to payment. To the extent permitted by law, any such payment
so made shall be a complete discharge of liability therefor under the Plan.
(2) If a guardian of the estate of any person receiving or
claiming benefits under the Plan is appointed by a court of competent
jurisdiction, benefit payments may be made to such guardian provided that proper
proof of appointment and continuing qualification is furnished in a form and
manner acceptable to the Committee. If a person claiming or receiving benefits
under the Plan is a minor, payment may be made to the
30
99
custodian of an account for such person under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act.
To the extent permitted by law, any such payment so made shall be a complete
discharge of any liability therefor under the Plan.
TO RECORD the adoption of this amendment and restatement, First
Hawaiian, Inc. has executed this document this 16th day of July, 1998.

FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC.
INCENTIVE PLAN FOR KEY EXECUTIVES
AS AMENDED THROUGH
DECEMBER 13, 1989
103
First Hawaiian, Inc. (the "Company") hereby adopts a plan to be
known as the First Hawaiian, Inc. Incentive Plan for Key
Executives as follows:
1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this Plan is to provide incentives to key
executives of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the Company and its
Subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Group")
to work for the progress of the Group by making available to them,
subject to certain restrictions as more specifically hereinafter set
forth, Incentive Awards.
2. THE COMMITTEE. The Plan shall be administered by a committee
(hereinafter called the "Committee"), which shall consist of not less
than three nor more than five members of the Board of Directors of the
Company who are not officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
and who shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board of
Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall
have sole, final and conclusive authority to determine:
a. Which executives of the Group are "key executives", it being
understood that key executives normally will be only such
executives as the Committee deems to be capable, by reason of
their powers and duties, of exercising a significant influence
upon the earnings and profitability of the Group or any
company within the Group;
b. Whether, and if so to which key executives, Incentive
Awards shall be granted;
c. The form in which Incentive Awards shall be made, that is to
say, whether in cash, in common stock of the Company ("Common
Stock"), or partly in cash and partly in Common Stock;
d. In the case of an Incentive Award made wholly or partly in
Common Stock, the restrictions to be imposed upon such Common
Stock, which shall be not less than the minimum restrictions
hereinafter set forth;
e. Such rules, regulations, and policies for the administration
of the Plan as the Committee shall deem advisable.
1
104
3. INCENTIVE AWARDS.
a. Grant. The Committee may, subject to the terms, provisions and
limitations of this Plan, grant Incentive Awards in such
amounts, in such form, and to such key executives, as the
Committee may from time to time determine.
b. Limitations. Any other term or provision of this Plan to the
apparent contrary notwithstanding, (i) the aggregate amount
(calculated as hereinafter provided) of all Incentive Awards
granted in any one fiscal year of the Company shall not exceed
two and one-half percent (2-1/2%) of the Consolidated Income
Before Income Taxes and Securities Gains of the Group for the
next preceding fiscal year of the Company, as shown in the
Company's annual report to its stockholders for such year; and
(ii) the aggregate amount (calculated as aforesaid) of all
Incentive Awards granted in any one fiscal year of the Company
to any one key executive shall not exceed such executive's
basic annual salary for such year.
c. Form. Incentive Awards may be granted in cash, in shares of
Common Stock, or partly in cash and partly in shares of Common
Stock, all as the Committee may determine. The Committee shall
not be required to make all Incentive Awards which are granted
at the same time or to the same key executive in the same
form, but may vary the form of Incentive Awards as it deems
appropriate. The Committee may (but shall not be required to)
consult with the key executive concerned with respect to the
form of an Incentive Award, but no key executive shall have
any right or power to specify or elect the form in which any
Incentive Award shall be granted to him.
d. Calculation of Amount. In calculating the amount or
amounts of any Incentive Award or Awards, (i) so much
thereof as shall be granted in cash shall be calculated
at the amount of such cash, and (ii) so much thereof as
shall have been granted in shares of Common Stock shall
be calculated at the market value (as determined by the
Committee, whose determination shall be final,
conclusive, and binding) of the shares of Common Stock
concerned at the date on which the Incentive Award
concerned is granted.
4. AVAILABLE SHARES. There shall be available for grants of Incentive
Awards such number of shares of Common Stock (i) as shall from time to
time be held by the Company as treasury stock not otherwise reserved
for any specific purpose, and (ii) as the Stockholders shall from time
to time authorize for issuance for such purpose free of preemptive
rights.
2
105
5. MINIMUM RESTRICTIONS ON DISPOSITION OF STOCK. Shares of Common Stock
granted as, or as part of, Incentive Awards under this Plan shall be
issued and registered in the name of the key executive concerned, who
may voluntarily dispose of the same only at the earliest of the
following events:
(a) his attaining 60 years of age,
(b) his retirement under the retirement program of his
employer then in effect,
(c) his death,
(d) his termination of employment prior to retirement with the
approval of the Company except termination for cause, or
(e) his completion of 20 full years of employment with the Group.
A key executive may from time to time transfer legal title to all or
any part of the shares of Common Stock granted as Incentive Awards
under this Plan to himself as trustee of a fully revocable living trust
of which he is the sole trustee and, for his lifetime, the sole income
beneficiary. Nothing in this paragraph 5 contained nor any additional
restriction imposed by paragraph 6 hereof shall restrict the right of a
key executive to receive cash dividends on, and to vote, all shares of
Common Stock granted to him as or as a part of an Incentive Award.
Subparagraphs 5(a) and 5(e) above shall become effective on December 1,
1988.
6. OPTIONAL RESTRICTIONS. The Committee may, either at the time of making
an Incentive Award or at any subsequent time, impose such additional
restrictions on transfer of the shares granted hereunder (such as,
without limitation, permitting transfer only in installments over a
period of years) as it may deem to be advisable. In no event shall any
transfer restrictions imposed under this paragraph 6 expire later than
five years after the expiration of the earliest of the minimum
restrictions set forth in subparagraphs 5(a) through (e) above, and if
a key executive is terminated for cause during this period by any
employer in the Group, any shares then still subject to such transfer
restrictions shall ipso facto and without any further action by the key
executive, the Committee, or the Company, be forfeited by such key
executive and revert to and become the sole and absolute property of
the Company, available for reissue pursuant to this Plan.
Beginning with the 1989 plan year, all subsequent stock awarded to
executives who previously met the minimum restrictions set forth in
subparagraph 5(a), attaining 60 years of age, and/or subparagraph 5(e),
completion of 20
3
106
full years of employment with the Group, will be restricted for five
(5) years from the date the awards are made.
If, however, such executives terminate employment by retirement, death,
or termination with the approval of the Company, except termination for
cause, all restrictions shall lapse.
7. TERMINATION OF SERVICE. Should the service of any key executive to whom
shares have been granted as or as a part of an Incentive Award
hereunder as an employee of the Company and of every Subsidiary of the
Company be terminated for cause or otherwise cease, without the prior
approval of the Company prior to his sixtieth birthday, his retirement,
death, or his completion of 20 full years of employment with the Group,
all shares granted to such key executive shall, ipso facto and without
any further action by the key executive, the Committee or the Company,
be forfeited by such key executive and revert to and become the sole
and absolute property of the Company, available for reissue pursuant to
this Plan. A transfer from one employer to another within the Group
shall not constitute a termination of service for purposes of this
paragraph.
8. ESCROW. In order to administer the restrictions set forth in paragraphs
5, 6 and 7 above, the certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock
granted hereunder, although issued in the name of the key executive
concerned, shall be held by the Company in escrow subject to delivery
to the key executive or to the Company at such times and in such
amounts as shall be under the terms of this Plan directed by the
Committee. Certificates evidencing whole shares issued as a stock
dividend on, or in any split-up of, shares so held in escrow (but not
shares acquired by a key executive's exercise of subscription rights in
respect of shares held in escrow) shall likewise be held in escrow by
the Company on the terms hereinabove set forth but any fractional
shares so issued shall not be subject to the escrow provisions but
shall be the property of the key executive.
9. WITHHOLDING TAX. Shares of Common Stock granted hereunder shall be
delivered to a key executive only upon payment by the key executive
concerned to the Company of the amount of any withholding tax which may
be imposed thereon under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code as
then in effect or any law of any other taxing jurisdiction requiring
such withholding tax, and should such key executive fail to make such
payment within thirty days following the date of removal of
restrictions on the transfer of such shares, he shall be deemed to have
instructed the Company as escrow holder to sell for his account at the
best reasonably obtainable price so much of the shares deliverable to
him as may be necessary to obtain the amount of such tax, the balance
of such shares then to be delivered to him.
4
107
10. AMENDMENT. The Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time,
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board, amend this
Plan in whole or in part, provided always that no such amendment which
would (a) increase the aggregate amount of Incentive Awards which may
be granted in any one fiscal year, (b) increase the aggregate amount of
Incentive Awards which may be granted to any one key executive in any
one fiscal year, (c) limit or relax the minimum restrictions set forth
in paragraph 5 hereof, or (d) modify this paragraph 10 hereof, shall
become effective unless the same shall be approved by the vote of the
holders of a majority of the Common Stock of the Company at a meeting
called for such purpose.
11. TERMINATION. The Board of Directors of the Company may terminate this
Plan at any time by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole
Board. Upon such termination, no further Incentive Awards shall be
granted hereunder, but the provisions of this Plan shall continue in
effect as to all Incentive Awards granted hereunder until all
restrictions on all shares of Common Stock theretofore granted have
expired or until all shares of Common Stock theretofore granted have
been forfeited as herein provided, whichever shall first occur.

108
AMENDMENTS TO
FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC.
INCENTIVE PLAN FOR KEY EXECUTIVES
In accordance with paragraph 10 of the First Hawaiian, Inc. Incentive
Plan for Key Executives (hereinafter the "Plan"), the Plan is hereby amended in
the following respects:
1. Paragraph 5 of the Plan is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
follows:
5. MINIMUM RESTRICTIONS ON DISPOSITION OF STOCK.
Shares of Common Stock granted as, or part of, Incentive
Awards under this Plan shall be issued and registered in the
name of the key executive concerned, who may not voluntarily
dispose of such shares for the five-year period from the date
of such Incentive Awards. After the lapse of said five-year
period, the key executive may dispose of such shares at the
earliest of the following events:
(a) if he has attained age 60 or upon his attaining 60
years of age,
(b) upon his retirement under the retirement program
of his employer then in effect,
(c) upon his death,
(d) upon his termination of employment prior to
retirement with the approval of the Company for
reasons other than cause, or
(e) if he has completed 20 full years of employment with
the Group or upon his completion of 20 full years of
employment with the Group.
A key executive may from time to time transfer legal title to all or
any part of the shares of Common Stock granted as Incentive Awards
under this Plan to himself as trustee of a fully revocable living trust
of which he is the sole trustee, and for his lifetime, the sole income
beneficiary. Nothing in this paragraph 5 nor any additional restriction
imposed by paragraph 6 hereof shall restrict the right of a key
executive to receive cash dividends on, and to vote, all shares of
Common Stock granted to him as or as part of an Incentive Award.
2. Paragraph 6 of the Plan is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
follows:
6. OPTIONAL RESTRICTIONS. The Committee may, either at the time
of making an Incentive Award or at any subsequent time, impose
such additional restrictions on transfer of the shares granted
under this Plan (such as, without limitation, permitting
transfer only in installments over a period of years) as it
deems
109
advisable. If a key executive is terminated for cause prior to
the date all transfer restrictions under either this paragraph
or paragraph 5 lapse, any shares then still subject to such
transfer restrictions shall ipso facto and without any further
action by the key executive, the Committee, or the Company be
forfeited by such key executive and revert to and become the
sole and absolute property of the Company, available for
reissue pursuant to this Plan.
The amendments set forth herein shall be effective for Incentive Awards
granted on or after January 1, 1998.

Plan.

114
Article 3. Participation
3.1 Eligibility for Participation. A person who serves as a Director on
or after January 1, 1992, and is neither a current employee of the Company or
one of its subsidiaries or affiliates nor a participant in the Company's
qualified retirement plan or a former participant entitled to benefits under
such plan shall become a Participant hereunder at the time specified in section
3.2. No Director who has retired as a Participant after becoming eligible to
receive benefits hereunder shall be eligible to become a Participant upon again
becoming a Director of the corporation from which he or she retired. However,
this limitation shall not prevent a retired Director from resuming service as a
Director and being treated as a Participant in accordance with section 3.3 with
respect to any retirement benefits he or she previously earned during prior
service in the same capacity.
3.2 Date of Participation. Each Director who is eligible to participate
in this Plan under section 3.1 shall become a Participant as of the later of:
(a) January 1, 1992, or
(b) The date as of which he or she becomes a Director who
satisfies the eligibility requirements of section 3.1.
3.3 Duration of Participation. A Director who becomes a Participant
shall continue to be a Participant for as long as he or she is an eligible
Director or a retired Director who is entitled to receive benefits from this
Plan.
3
115
Article 4. Benefits
4.1 Eligibility for Retirement Benefits. A Participant shall be
entitled to retire as a Director and receive benefit payments under the Plan
after attaining age 65 and completing at least 10 years of service as a
Director. After the satisfaction of these eligibility requirements, the
termination of a Participant's service as a Director for any reason shall be
considered a retirement. For purposes of the requirement to complete at least 10
years of service, service as a director of either the Company or First Hawaiian
Bank shall be treated as service as a Director, but the same period shall not be
counted more than one. Moreover, the periods that are counted shall include
those occurring both before and after the January 1, 1992 effective date of the
Plan. In the event of noncontinuous service, each period of continuous service
shall be counted separately, and the total service shall be the sum of all such
separate periods of continuous service. A Participant who ceases to be a
Director either before attaining age 65 or before completing at lease 10 years
of service as a Director shall not be entitled to any benefits hereunder unless
he or she later satisfies such requirements after resuming service as a
Director.
4.2 Amount of Retirement Benefits. The annual amount of retirement
benefits for a Participant who becomes eligible to receive them in accordance
with section 4.1 shall be equal to 50 percent of the amount of the annual
retainer being paid by the Company for services as a Director at the time of the
Participant's retirement (excluding any other items of Director renumeration
such as fees for attending meetings or serving on particular committees of the
Board). This annual amount shall be paid for a period of ten years in accordance
with section 4.3, and shall not be changed once the payments have commenced.
4.3 Payment of Retirement Benefits. The Company shall pay the
retirement benefits owed under this Article 4 in 120 equal monthly installments
over a ten-year period commencing with the
4
116
month after the month of the Participant's retirement under conditions that
entitle the Participant to receive such benefits. If a retired Participant dies
before receiving all 120 installments, any unpaid installments remaining at the
Participant's death shall continue to be paid on a monthly basis to the
Participant's Beneficiary. For this purpose, the Participant's Beneficiary shall
be the person or entity who is entitled to receive the Plan payments under the
deceased Participant's will, provided that the Participant's Beneficiary shall
be the Participant's estate if a valid will of the Participant does not indicate
who is to receive such payments. If a Participant dies before retiring with an
entitlement to benefit payments under this Plan, there shall be no death
benefits payable with respect to such Participant.
4.4 Tax Reporting and Withholding. Participants are independent
contractors rather than employees of the Company, and it is intended that they
shall be responsible for all tax reporting and payments with respect to their
Plan benefits to the full extent required or permitted by law. Nevertheless, the
Company shall be entitled to take reasonable steps to comply with any federal,
state or local tax withholding or reporting required of it by law with respect
to Plan benefits. Prior to making or authorizing any payment under this Plan for
which the Company may have a liability in the event of noncompliance with any
tax or other legal requirement, the Company may require such documents from the
payee or any taxing or other government authority having jurisdiction over the
Company or the payee, or may require such indemnities or surety bond, as the
Company shall reasonably consider necessary for its protection.
4.5 Payment as Discharge. Payment to a Participant or Beneficiary, at
his or her last known address, of any benefit that is due under the Plan shall
constitute a complete discharge of the obligation to pay such benefit.
5
117
Article 5. Administration
5.1 Administration by Board. The Plan shall be administered by the
Board. The Board shall have discretionary authority to construe and interpret
all provisions of the Plan, to adopt rules and practices concerning Plan
administration, to decide all claims for benefits, and to take all other
necessary or appropriate actions to carry out the purpose of the Plan. The Board
may delegate responsibility for matters of recordkeeping and other routine
administrative tasks with respect to the Plan. All interpretations,
constructions, determinations, and other actions of the Board shall be
conclusive and binding on all parties and shall be entitled to the maximum
deference permitted by law.
No Director may vote on a Plan decision affecting his or her individual interest
under the Plan in a matter that is not applicable to Participants in general.
6
118
Article 6. Absence of Funding
6.1 Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is and shall remain unfunded for
purposes of the Internal Revenue Code. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no
action taken pursuant to any provision of this Plan, shall create or be
construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship among the
Company, Participants, Beneficiaries, or any other persons including any
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. Furthermore, no Participant or
Beneficiary shall have any interest in any specific asset of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or affiliates by operation of this Plan.
6.2 Informal Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding section 6.1, the Company
may, but need not, arrange for the establishment and use of a grantor trust or
other informal funding vehicle to facilitate the payment of benefits and to
discharge the liability of the Company and participating Affiliates under this
Plan to the extent of payments actually made from such trust or other informal
funding vehicle.
Any investments and any creation or maintenance of memorandum accounts or a
trust or other informal funding vehicle shall not create or constitute a trust
or a fiduciary relationship between the Board or the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates and a Participant, or otherwise create any vested or
beneficial interest in any Participant or his or her Beneficiary or his or her
creditors in any assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
whatsoever. Participants shall have no claim against the Company or any of other
person for any changes in the value of any assets which may be invested or
reinvested under any informal funding vehicle that may be established with
respect to this Plan.
7
119
Article 7. Amendment and Termination
7.1 Plan Amendment or Termination. The Company expects to continue this
Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to amend or discontinue it, in whole
or in part, at any time if, in its sole judgment, such a change is necessary or
desirable, subject only to the contractual rights of Participants to Plan
benefits which have already been earned. Upon termination or partial termination
of this Plan, the rights of all affected Participants and their Beneficiaries
shall terminate, except that the Board shall use reasonable procedures to
determine the value of each Participant's benefit, as of the date of the
termination, and to provide for the payment of such value to the Participant or
Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
8
120
Article 8. Miscellaneous
8.1 Non-Alienation. Except as otherwise required by law, neither the
Company nor any participating Affiliate shall make any payment or distribution
under this Plan to any assignee or creditor of a Participant or Beneficiary.
Prior to the time of a benefit payment under this Plan, a Participant or
Beneficiary shall have no rights by way of anticipation or otherwise to assign
or dispose of any interest under this Plan, nor shall rights be assigned or
transferred by operation of law or otherwise, including but without limitation
by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge, lien, or bankruptcy.
8.2 Records. The records of the Board with respect to the Plan shall be
conclusive on all Participants, Beneficiaries, and other persons.
8.3 Incompetency. Every person receiving or claiming benefits under the
Plan shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent and of age until
the Board receives written notice, in a form and manner acceptable to it, that
such person is incompetent or a minor, and that a guardian, conservator,
statutory committee, or other person legally vested with the care of the person
or estate has been appointed; provided, however, that if the Board shall find
that any person to whom a benefit is payable under the Plan is unable to
properly care for such persons' own affairs because of incompetency, or is a
minor, then any payment due (unless a prior claim therefor shall have been made
by a duly appointed legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a
parent, or a brother or sister, or to any person or institution deemed by the
Board to have incurred expenses for the person otherwise entitled to payment.
In the event a guardian of the estate of any person receiving or claiming
benefits under the Plan shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction,
payment shall be made to such guardian
9
121
provided that proper proof of appointment is furnished in a form and manner
acceptable to the Board. To the extent permitted by law, any such payment so
made shall be a complete discharge of liability therefor under the Plan.
8.4 No Individual Liability. It is declared to be the express purpose

Section 3.1 Deferral Election.
(a) A Participant may elect one or more of the following deferrals for
which he is eligible to his Deferral Memorandum Account.

who is eligible for IPKE may elect to defer the payment of all or a portion of
his IPKE cash bonus for the then current fiscal year.
(2) On a date that is at least three months before the end of
a "Performance Period" under the LTIP, a Participant who may become entitled to
receive payment of an award for such period under such plan may elect to defer
all or part of any payment of such award.
(3) On a date prior to January 1, a Participant may elect to
defer the payment of a percentage (not in excess of 90%) of his base salary for
the next calendar year.
(b) (1) Except as provided in Section 3.1(b)(2), the deferral election
shall be irrevocable and shall be made on a form prescribed by the Committee.
Any annual cash bonus under IPKE, any base salary, and any award under the LTIP
for which a Participant has not elected to defer under this Plan shall be paid
without regard to this Plan.
(2) The Committee may permit a Participant to reduce
the amount of a deferral election or to revoke a deferral
6
132
election as to any remaining deferral amounts thereunder upon a finding that the
Participant has suffered a Financial Hardship.
(c) The amount to be credited to a Deferral Memorandum Account shall be
subject to reduction by the amount the Participating Employer is required by law
to pay to a governmental taxing authority as the Participant's portion of any
withholding taxes, including taxes imposed on employees by the Federal Insurance
Contributions Act of Chapter 21 of the Code. The Committee may authorize a
Participant to satisfy such withholding tax payment in a manner that does not
reduce the amount credited to his Memorandum Account.
Section 3.2 Length of Deferrals.
(a) If a deferral is elected, the period of deferral shall (except as
provided in Section 3.2(b)) end with the Participant's Retirement, death,
Disability, resignation, or other termination of employment with the Company,

(b) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, approve Special
Deferrals. Such Special Deferrals shall be subject to the same rules as in
Section 3.1 above, except for the time of payment.
Section 3.3 Deferral Memorandum Account.
(a) The Committee shall cause a Participating Employer to establish a
Deferral Memorandum Account for each Participant employed by it who has elected
a deferral under this amended and restated Plan. Except as otherwise

Memorandum Account at all times. A separate Deferral Memorandum Account
7
133
shall be kept for any deferral that may be paid in a different manner or may be
paid commencing on a different date from other deferrals. The Deferral
Memorandum Account balances of a Participant shall represent the Participating
Employer's obligation to pay the deferred amount to the Participant or his
Beneficiary.
(b) Base Interest on a Participant's Base Account shall be calculated
as of each Determination Date (herein "such date") based upon the average daily
balance of the Base Account since the preceding Determination Date and shall be
credited to the Participant's Base Account at such date. In addition to Base
Interest, as of December 31 of each year the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, credit Performance Interest for such year to a Participant's Base
Account based upon its evaluation of the Participant's job performance for such
year.
(c) Base Interest and Retirement Interest on a Participant's Retirement
Account shall be calculated as of each Determination Date (herein "such date")
based upon the average daily balance of the Retirement Account since the
preceding Determination Date and shall be credited to the Participant's
Retirement Account at such date. In addition to Base Interest and Retirement
Interest, as of December 31 of each year the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, credit Performance Interest for such year to a Participant's
Retirement Account based upon its evaluation of the Participant's job
performance for such year.

with the approval of the Committee, Retirement, death, or
8

reason other than termination of employment with the approval of the Committee,
Retirement, death, or Disability or upon a Special Deferral payment date prior

death, or Disability, the Participant, or in the case of his death, his
Beneficiary, shall be paid an amount equal to the balance of the Participant's
Base Account as of such date.
(b) (1) Except for accelerated distributions pursuant to Section
3.5 or Financial Hardship distributions pursuant to Section 3.6, all
distributions shall be paid in the form selected by the Participant at the time
of the deferral election from among the following alternatives:
(i) A lump sum;
(ii) Substantially equal annual installments
amortized over a period of five, ten, or 15 years; or
(iii) Any other method that is the Actuarial
Equivalent (as defined in the First Hawaiian, Inc. Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan) of the amount to be distributed.
10
136
Distribution shall commence as soon as practicable after the event entitling the
Participant or Beneficiary to distribution.

a Participant's Deferral Memorandum Account is less than $20,000, the Committee
may in its sole discretion pay the Participant in a lump sum.
Section 3.5 Accelerated Distributions
(a) Prior to a Participant's termination of employment with the
approval of the Committee, Retirement, death, or Disability or prior to a
Special Deferral payment date for a Special Deferral, a Participant may at any
time upon written request to the Committee receive a lump sum distribution equal
to 90% of the balance of his Base Account as of the Determination Date
immediately preceding the date on which the Committee receives such written
request. The remaining balance of the Participant's Base Account shall be
forfeited and the Participant shall not be allowed to participate in this Plan
in the future.
(b) Subsequent to a Participant's termination of employment with the
approval of the Committee, Retirement, death, or Disability or subsequent to
Special Deferral payment date for a Special Deferral, a Participant may at any
time upon written request to the Committee receive a lump sum distribution equal
to 90% of the balance of his Retirement Account as of the Determination Date
immediately preceding the date on which the Committee receives such written
request. The remaining balance of the Participant's Retirement Account and all
of his Base
11
137
Account shall be forfeited and the Participant shall not be allowed to
participate in this Plan in the future.
(c) The amount payable under this Section 3.5 shall be paid within 65
days following the Committee's receipt of such notice.
Section 3.6 Financial Hardship Withdrawal
Upon its finding that a Participant has suffered a Financial Hardship
or a Disability, the Committee may in its sole discretion make distributions
from the Participant's Base Account prior to the time otherwise specified in the
Plan for payment thereof. The amount of any such distribution shall be limited
to the amount reasonably necessary to meet the Participant's Financial Hardship
or Disability. The Participant's Base Account and his Retirement Account shall
be reduced by the amount of such distribution.
Section 3.7 Excise Tax and Lost Benefit Makeup.
If as a result of participating in the Plan a Participant is required
to pay additional excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or receives a
smaller benefit from any other employee benefit plan as a result of limitation
imposed by Section 280G of the Code, then a makeup amount shall be payable from
the Plan. This amount shall be equal to the amount of Section 4999 excise tax
payable and any lost benefit from such other plan due to Section 280G of the
Code, as a result of participation in the Plan, plus any excise tax and income
taxes payable due to this payment. The Committee and the Participant shall
cooperate in good faith in making such determination and in providing the
necessary information for this purpose.
12
138
Section 3.8 Income Tax Withholding.
All distributions under this Article III shall be reduced by any amount
of withholding taxes that the Participating Employers are required by law to
withhold.
13
139
ARTICLE IV
GRANDFATHERED MEMORANDUM ACCOUNTS
Section 4.1 No Further Deferrals.
No deferrals shall be made to a Grandfathered Memorandum Account
pursuant to any election made after December 31, 1997.
Section 4.2 Length of Deferrals.
(a) If a deferral to a Grandfathered Memorandum Account was elected,
the period of deferral shall (except as provided in Section 4.2(b)) end with the
Participant's Retirement, death, Disability, resignation, or other termination
of employment with the Company, the Participating Employers, and the Affiliates.
(b) If the Committee approved a Special Deferral to a Participant's
Grandfathered Memorandum Account, such deferral
shall remain subject to the terms thereof.
Section 4.3 Grandfathered Memorandum Account.
(a) The Committee shall cause a Participating Employer to maintain the
Grandfathered Memorandum Account established for each Participant until such
account is distributed in full. A Participant shall be fully vested in his
Grandfathered Memorandum Account at all times. A separate Grandfathered
Memorandum
14
140
Account shall be kept for any deferral that may be paid in a different manner or
may be paid commencing on a different date from other deferrals. The
Grandfathered Memorandum Account balances of a Participant shall represent the
Participating Employer's obligation to pay the deferred amount to the
Participant or his Beneficiary.
(b) A Grandfathered Memorandum Account shall be credited with assumed
earnings in accordance with this Section 4.3(b). In general, assumed earnings
shall be credited once annually, as of December 31 of each year, so that the
earnings for the current year are part of the opening balance of the next
calendar year. The Committee may, however, authorize the crediting of assumed
earnings at other dates during a calendar year, provided that any later
calculation of earnings during or at the end of the same calendar year shall be
made in a manner designed to produce approximately the same total earnings for
the year as would a one-time, December 31 calculation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, earnings for a partial year shall be credited for the period up to
the distribution date for a payment that is made at any date during a year other
than in January.
(c) In determining the balances of a Grandfathered Memorandum Account
on which earnings are credited, the provisions of the Plan as in effect on
December 31, 1997 shall apply.
(d) The rate to be used in crediting assumed earnings for each calendar
year or partial year shall be the greater of (i) First Hawaiian Bank Prime Rate
as in effect at the beginning of the calendar year or (ii) the annual yield of
the Moody's Average Corporate Bond Yield Index for the preceding calendar month
as
15
141
published by Moody's Investor Service, Inc. (or any successor thereto), or if
such index is no longer published, a substantially similar index selected by the
Committee. When earnings are credited during a year in conjunction with a
payment at a time other than in January of less than the entire remaining
Grandfathered Memorandum Account balance, the determination of such interim
earnings shall be made in an administratively feasible manner that prevents or
minimizes the possibility of crediting additional earnings on the interim
earnings at the end of the year.
Section 4.4 Change in Control.
If the terms of a Change in Control provide that this Plan shall be
assumed by the successor organization, then the Participant's rights regarding
his Grandfathered Memorandum Account shall continue in accordance with the terms
of the Plan. If, however, the terms of a Change in Control do not so provide,
then immediately prior to the occurrence of such a Change in Control, each
Participant shall automatically receive a lump sum distribution of his
Grandfathered Memorandum Account.
Section 4.5 Payment.
(a) Upon the Retirement, death, Disability, resignation, or other
termination of employment of a Participant or upon a Special Deferral payment
date, the Participant, or in the case of his death, his Beneficiary, shall be
paid an amount equal to the balance of the Participant's Grandfathered
Memorandum Account, plus assumed earnings (determined pursuant to Section 4.3)
to the date of distribution.
16
142
(b) Payment shall be made in cash in (i) a single lump sum or (ii)
installments payable once each calendar year over a specified period of up to 12
years. The first installment shall be paid as soon as practicable after the
Participant's termination of employment and each subsequent installment shall be
paid in the January following the immediately preceding payment. Such
installments shall be in substantially equal payments, except that the first
installment shall be prorated so that it bears the same proportion to a full
annual installment as the remainder of the year following the calculation date
bears to the full year.
(c) (1) Payment of a Special Deferral to a Participant's
Grandfathered Memorandum Account shall be made in a lump sum on the specified
payment date; installment payment of such a Special Deferral shall not be
permitted.
(2) The Committee shall determine the form of payment of any
other deferrals to a Participant's Grandfathered Memorandum Account, and prior
to doing so, may consider an expression of the Participant's preference that is
made at any time up to one year before the triggering event for the payment.
Payment of such other deferrals shall be made or commence as soon as practicable
following the Participant's Retirement, death, Disability, resignation, or other
termination of employment.
(d) The Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the payment
of the unpaid balance of a Participant's Grandfathered Memorandum Account in the
event of the Participant's Retirement, death, Disability, resignation, or
termination of employment or upon its determination that the Participant (or his
Beneficiary in the case of his death) has
17
143
incurred a severe, unforeseeable financial hardship creating an immediate and
heavy need for cash that cannot reasonably be satisfied from sources other than
an accelerated payment from this Plan. The Committee in making its determination
may consider such factors and require such information as it deems appropriate.
(e) All distributions under this Article IV shall be subject to
withholding taxes that the Participating Employer is required by law to
withhold.

including but not limited to an actuary, legal counsel, an independent
accountant, agents, and such clerical, medical, and accounting services as it
may require in carrying out the provisions of this Plan or in complying with the
requirements of ERISA.
Section 5.2 Indemnification, Insurance.
The Participating Employers shall indemnify and save harmless and/or
insure each fiduciary who is an employee or a director of a Participating
Employer or an Affiliate against any and all claims, loss, damages, expense, and
liability arising from his responsibilities in connection with this Plan, if the
fiduciary acted in good faith and in a manner the fiduciary reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Plan.
Section 5.3 Claims Procedure.
(a) The procedure for claiming benefits under this Plan shall be as
follows:
19
145
(1) The Committee shall determine the benefits due hereunder
to a Participant or his beneficiary or beneficiaries, but a Participant or his
beneficiary or beneficiaries may file a claim for benefits by written notice to
the Committee.
(2) If a claim is denied in whole or in part, the Committee
shall give the claimant written notice of such denial, within a reasonable
period of time following the filing of the claim. Such notice shall (i) specify
the reason or reasons for the denial, (ii) refer to the pertinent Plan
provisions on which the denial is based, (iii) describe any additional material
or information necessary to perfect the claim and explain the need therefor, and
(iv) explain the review procedure described in subparagraph (3) hereof.
(3) The claimant may then appeal the denial of the claim to
the Committee by filing written notice of such appeal with the Committee within
90 days after receipt of the notice of denial. The claimant or any authorized
representative may, before or after filing the notice of appeal, review any
documents pertinent to the claim and submit issues and comments in writing. The
Committee shall make its decision on such appeal within 60 days after receipt of
the appeal (unless a longer period is requested by the claimant), and shall
forthwith give written notice of such decision.
(b) (1) Notwithstanding Section 5.3(a), in the event of a Change in
Control a Participant may submit any claim for payment to arbitration as
follows. On or after the second day following the termination of the
Participant's employment or other event triggering a right to payment, a claim
may be filed orally with
20
146
an arbitrator of the Participant's choice and thereafter the
Company shall be notified orally.
(2) The arbitrator must be (i) a member of the National
Academy of Arbitrators or a person who currently appears on arbitration panels
issued by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service or the American
Arbitration Association or (ii) a retired judge of the State of Hawaii who
served at the
appellate level.
(3) The arbitration hearing shall be held within 24 hours (or
as soon thereafter as possible) after filing of the claim unless the Participant
and the Company agree to a later date. No continuance of said hearing shall be
allowed without the mutual consent of the Participant and the Company. Absence
from or nonparticipation at the hearing by either party shall not prevent the
issuance of an award. Hearing procedures that expedite the hearing may be
ordered at the arbitrator's discretion, and the arbitrator may close the hearing
in his sole discretion upon deciding he has heard sufficient evidence to satisfy
issuance of an award. In reaching a decision, the arbitrator shall be limited to
interpreting this Plan; he shall have no authority to ignore, change, modify,
add to, or delete from any provision of this Plan.
(4) The arbitrator's award shall be rendered as expeditiously
as possible, and in no event, later than seven days after the close of the
hearing. If the arbitrator finds that any payment is due to the Participant
under the Plan, the arbitrator shall order the Company or Participating
Employers to pay that amount to the Participant within 48 hours after the
decision is rendered. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding
upon the Participant and the Company and the Participating
21
147
Employers. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator
may be entered in any court in the State of Hawaii or in any
other court of competent jurisdiction.
(5) In the case of any arbitration regarding this Agreement,
the Participant shall be awarded the Participant's costs, including attorney's
fees. The Company shall pay the arbitrator's fee and all necessary expenses of
the hearing, including any stenographic reporter so employed.

liabilities are transferred to, any other plan, the provisions of such
subsequent plan must provide that each Participant of this Plan would, if the
subsequent plan then
22
148
terminated, receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or
transfer, that is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been
entitled to immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1 Unfunded Plan.
(a) The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily to
provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of "management or
highly-compensated employees" within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of
ERISA, and therefore exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I
of ERISA. Accordingly, the Plan shall terminate and no further benefits shall
accrue hereunder if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by
an opinion of counsel that the Plan constitutes an employee pension benefit plan
within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA which is not so exempt. In the event
of such termination, all ongoing deferral elections shall terminate, no
additional benefits shall accrue under the Plan, and the amount of each
Participant's vested interest in the Plan shall be distributed to such
Participant at such time and in such manner as the Committee, in its sole
discretion, determines.
(b) In the event of the Company's or a Participating Employer's
insolvency, Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns
shall have no legal or equitable rights, interest or claims in any property or
assets of the Company or a Participating Employer, nor shall they be
23
149
beneficiaries of, or have any right, claim, or interest in any life insurance
policies, annuity contracts, or the proceeds therefrom owned or that may be
acquired by the Company or a Participating Employer. In such event, any and all
of the Company's or the Participating Employer's assets and policies shall be,
and remain, the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company or the
Participating Employers. The Company's and the Participating Employers'
obligations under the Plan shall be that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to
pay money in the future.
(c) The Participating Employers shall be responsible for the payment of
all benefits provided under the Plan. At its discretion, the Company may
establish one or more trusts, with such trustees as the Committee may approve,
for the purpose of providing for the payment of such benefits. Such trust or
trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims
of the Company's and the Participating Employers' creditors. To the extent any
benefits provided under the Plan are actually paid from any such trust, the
Participating Employers shall have no further obligation with respect thereto,
but to the extent not so paid, such benefits shall remain the obligation of, and
shall be paid by, the Participating Employers.
Section 7.2 Rights of Participants.
(a) No Participant shall, by reason of his participation in this Plan,
have any interest in (i) any specific asset or assets of a Participating
Employer or an Affiliate or (ii) any stock rights of any kind.
(b) Neither the adoption of this Plan, the making of any deferrals
under this Plan, nor any action of the Board or the
24
150
Committee in connection with the Plan shall be held or construed to confer upon
any person any legal right to be continued as an officer or employee of a
Participating Employer or an Affiliate.
(c) No Participant shall have the right to assign, pledge, encumber, or
otherwise dispose of (except to a Beneficiary upon his death) any of his
interest in this Plan; nor shall his interest be subject to garnishment,
attachment, transfer by operation of law, or any legal process.
Section 7.3 Misc. Rules.
(a) Wherever used herein the masculine gender shall include the
feminine and the singular number shall include the plural, unless the context
clearly indicates otherwise.
(b) The headings of articles and sections are included herein solely
for convenience of reference, and if there is any conflict between such headings
and the text of the Plan, the text shall be controlling.
(c) Wherever a Participating Employer, the Company, or the Board is
permitted or required to do or perform any act, matter, or thing under the terms
of the Plan, it may be done and performed by any officer of a Participating
Employer or the Company thereunto duly authorized.
(d) To the extent not preempted by ERISA, the Plan shall be governed,
construed, administered, and regulated according to the laws of the State of
Hawaii.
25
151
(e) All consents, elections, applications, designations, etc. required
or permitted under the Plan must be made on forms prescribed by the Committee,
and shall be recognized only if properly completed, executed, and filed with the
Committee.
(f) (1) Every person receiving or claiming benefits under the Plan
shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent and of age until the
date on which the Committee receives a written notice, in a form and manner
acceptable to the Committee, that such person is incompetent or a minor for whom
a guardian or other person legally vested with the care of his person or estate
has been appointed. If, however, the Committee finds that any person to whom a
benefit is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of
incompetency or because he or she is a minor, any payment due (unless a prior
claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed legal representative)
may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, a brother or sister, or to any
person or institution considered by the Committee to have incurred expense for
such person otherwise entitled to payment. To the extent permitted by law, any
such payment so made shall be a complete discharge of liability therefor under
the Plan.
(2) If a guardian of the estate of any person receiving or
claiming benefits under the Plan is appointed by a court of competent
jurisdiction, benefit payments may be made to such guardian provided that proper
proof of appointment and continuing qualification is furnished in a form and
manner acceptable to the Committee. If a person claiming or receiving benefits
under the Plan is a minor, payment may be made to the custodian of an account
for such person under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act. To the extent permitted
by law, any such payment
26
152
so made shall be a complete discharge of any liability therefor under the Plan.

FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC.
1998 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
PROLOGUE
The purpose of the First Hawaiian, Inc. 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan")
is to promote the success and enhance the value of First Hawaiian, Inc. (the
"Company") by linking the personal interests of eligible employees to those of
Company stockholders and by providing eligible employees 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
employees upon whose judgment, interest, and special effort the successful
conduct of its operation is largely dependent.
The Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Plan on February 19, 1998,
subject to approval by the Company's stockholders. If the Plan's adoption is not
approved by the Company's stockholders prior to February 18, 1999, the Plan
shall automatically be and become cancelled and terminated on February 18, 1999.
All awards granted pursuant to the Plan prior to such stockholder approval shall
not be exercisable until such approval and any such awards shall automatically
be and become cancelled and terminated if such approval is not obtained.

ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
As used herein the following terms shall have the following meanings unless the
context clearly requires otherwise.
"Beneficiary" means the person, persons, or legal entity designated by the
Participant to receive his benefits under this Plan in the event of his death.
If a Participant fails to make any designation, the person designated shall not
survive the Participant, or the legal entity designated shall no longer be in
existence or shall be legally incapable of receiving benefits hereunder,
Beneficiary shall mean the estate of the Participant.
"Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company.
"Cause" means one or more of the following reasons for the termination of
employment:
(a) The willful and continued failure by the Participant to
substantially perform his duties with the Company or a Subsidiary (other than
any such failure resulting from the Participant's Disability or incapacity due
to mental illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is
delivered to the Participant that specifically identifies the manner in which
the Company or Subsidiary believes that the Participant has not substantially
performed his duties, and the Participant has failed to remedy or take
substantial steps to remedy the situation within ten business days of receiving
such notice;
(b) The Participant's conviction for committing a felony (all rights of
appeal having been exhausted); or
(c) The Participant's willfully engaging in gross misconduct that is
materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or a Subsidiary. However,
no act or failure to act on the Participant's part shall be considered "willful"
unless such act or omission was not in good faith and without reasonable belief
that such action or omission was in the best interest of the Company or its
Subsidiaries.
The Company or the Subsidiary shall notify the Committee if it believes a
Participant's employment has been terminated for Cause. The Committee shall
determine whether a Participant's employment has been terminated for Cause for
purposes of the Plan. The Committee shall notify the Participant in writing if
it has made a preliminary determination that the Participant's employment was
terminated for Cause. The Participant (and, if he chooses, his legal
representative) shall have an opportunity to be heard by the Committee
concerning the Committee's preliminary determination. After taking into
consideration the points raised by the Participant, the Committee shall make a
final determination as to whether the Participant's employment was terminated
for Cause and shall notify the Participant in writing of its final
determination. If the Company or the Subsidiary notifies the Committee that it
believes that a Participant has been terminated for Cause, the Participant shall
not be able to exercise any option, make any other election, or take any action
that would not be permitted under the terms of the Plan following termination of
2
160
employment for Cause unless and until the Committee makes its final decision
that the Participant was not terminated for Cause.
"Change in Control" means any of the following:
(a) Any "person" (within the meaning of Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange
Act and as used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, including a "group" as
defined in Section 13(d) thereof) other than those listed in items (i), (ii), or
(iii) of this Section becomes the "beneficial owner" (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's
securities then outstanding.
(i) The Trustees under the Will and of the Estate of Samuel M.
Damon, deceased, and any other persons acting together with them.
(ii) A trustee or other fiduciary holding Shares under an
employee benefit plan of the Company or a Subsidiary.
(iii) A corporation owned directly or indirectly by the
stockholders of the Company (in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of Shares) becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of said
Rule 13d-3), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing
35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's securities then
outstanding.
(b) During any period of two consecutive calendar years, individuals who
at the beginning of such period constitute the Board (and any new Director whose
election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the Directors then in office who either were Directors at the
beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was so
approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof.
(c) The stockholders of the Company approve:
(i) A plan of complete liquidation of the Company;
(ii) An agreement for the sale or disposition of all or
substantially all the Company's assets; or
(iii) A merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the Company
with or involving any other corporation, other than a merger, consolidation, or
reorganization that would result in the voting stock of the Company outstanding
immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into voting stock of the surviving entity) at
least 80% of the combined voting power of the stock that is outstanding
immediately after such merger, consolidation, or reorganization unless the Board
determines by a majority vote prior to such merger, consolidation, or
reorganization that no Change in Control will occur as a result of such
transaction.
3
161
(d) The Board agrees by a majority vote that an event has or is about to
occur that, in fairness to the Participant, is tantamount to a Change in
Control.
A Change in Control shall occur on the first day on which any of the preceding
conditions has been satisfied.
However, notwithstanding the above, in no event shall a Change in Control be
deemed to have occurred, with respect to a Participant, if the Participant is
part of a purchasing group that consummates the Change in Control transaction. A
Participant shall be deemed "part of a purchasing group" for purposes of the
preceding sentence if he is an equity participant in the purchasing company or
group, except for (i) passive ownership of less than 3% of the common stock of
the purchasing company or (ii) ownership of equity participation in the
purchasing company or group that is otherwise not significant, as determined
prior to the Change in Control by a majority of the continuing Directors who are
not employees of the Company or a Subsidiary.
"Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or
such other provision of law of similar purport as may at any time be substituted
therefor.

Article II.
"Company" means First Hawaiian, Inc.
"Director" means any individual who is a member of the Board.
"Disability" means a disability, as determined by the Social Security
Administration, that is not the result of self-inflicted injury or criminal
conduct on the part of the Participant, and in the case of a determination with
respect to an ISO, meets any additional requirements that may be necessary to
qualify as a permanent and total disability under Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.
"Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time
to time, or such other provision of law of similar purport as may at any time be
substituted therefor.
"Fair Market Value" means the average of the highest and lowest prices of a
Share as reported in publications of general circulation for the Autoquote
System of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. on the relevant
date. If there are no sales on such date, the Fair Market Value shall be
determined as of the immediately preceding date on which there were Share
transactions.
"ISO" means an option to purchase Shares that is designated by the Committee as
an incentive stock option intended to meet the requirements of Section 422 of
the Code.
"Participant" means an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary who has received
an award under the Plan.
4
162
"Retirement" means the termination of service as an employee of the Company and
the Subsidiaries on or after (i) attainment of age 65, (ii) attainment of age 55
and completion of ten years of Vesting Service (as defined in the First
Hawaiian, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan), or (iii) attainment of age 62 with the
approval of the Committee.
"Shares" means shares of common stock of the Company.
"Subsidiary" means any corporation, partnership, joint venture, or business
trust of which 50% or more of the control thereof is owned, directly or
indirectly, by the Company, provided that for ISO purposes, "Subsidiary" shall
be defined as provided in Section 424(f) of the Code.

163
ARTICLE II
ADMINISTRATION
Section 2.1 The Committee.
The Committee shall be composed of at least two members of the Board as
designated from time to time by the Board.
Section 2.2 Authority of the Committee.
(a) The Committee shall select the employees to whom awards shall be
granted under the Plan; determine the size, types, terms, and conditions of
awards; cancel and reissue awards; construe and interpret the Plan and any
agreement or instrument entered into under the Plan; establish, amend, or waive
rules and regulations for the Plan's administration; amend, subject to Article
XI, the terms and conditions of any outstanding award to the extent such terms
and conditions are within its discretion; and make any determination that may be
necessary or advisable for administration of the Plan.
(b) The Committee may from time to time delegate to any other person or
persons any or all of its powers hereunder.
(c) All determinations and decisions of the Committee shall be final,
conclusive, and binding on all persons.
Section 2.3 Indemnification, Insurance.
The Company and the Subsidiaries shall indemnify and save harmless and/or insure
each member of the Committee against any and all claims, losses, damages,
expenses, and liabilities arising from his responsibilities in connection with
this Plan, if the member acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and the
Subsidiaries.

164
ARTICLE III
SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN
Section 3.1 Number of Shares.
(a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.3, the total number
of Shares available for grant under the Plan shall not exceed 2,000,000, which
Shares shall be reacquired or treasury shares.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, no employee shall
be granted awards in excess of 200,000 Shares during any calendar year. This
limitation is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code
so that compensation attributable to awards hereunder qualify as
performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. The limitation
under this Section 3.1(b) shall be subject to adjustment under Section 3.3
hereof, but only to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code.
Section 3.2 Lapsed Awards.
Subject to the rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, if any award granted
under this Plan is canceled, is forfeited, terminates, expires, or lapses for
any reason, any Shares subject to such award shall be available for the grant of
an award under the Plan.
Section 3.3 Adjustments in Authorized Shares.
In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization,
separation, liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, share combination, or other
change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the number or value
of Shares, then the number, class, and price of Shares subject to outstanding
awards under the Plan shall be adjusted as the Committee may determine in its
sole discretion to be appropriate or equitable to prevent dilution or
enlargement of rights. The number of Shares subject to any award shall always be
a whole number. Any adjustment of an ISO under this Section 3.3 shall be made in
such manner so as not to constitute a "modification" within the meaning of
Section 425(h)(3) of the Code.
7
165
ARTICLE IV
ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
Section 4.1 Eligibility.
To be eligible to participate in the Plan, an individual must be an officer or
employee of the Company or a Subsidiary who by the nature and scope of his
position influences the long-term results or success of the Company. The
Committee in its sole discretion shall determine if an officer or employee is
eligible. A Director who is not an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary shall
not be eligible to participate in the Plan.
Section 4.2 Participation.
The Committee shall determine from time to time eligible employees to whom
awards shall be granted and the nature and amount of each award. No eligible
employee shall have any right to be granted an award under this Plan. In
addition, nothing in this Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the
right of the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate any Participant's employment
at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ
of the Company or a Subsidiary.
8
166
ARTICLE V
OPTIONS
Section 5.1 Type of Options.
The Committee shall designate at the time of the grant of an option whether it
is a nonqualified stock option or ISO and whether such option shall be in whole
or in part a reload option.
Section 5.2 ISOs.
(a) No ISO may be granted after January 21, 2008.
(b) No employee may receive an award of ISOs that are first exercisable
during any calendar year to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of
the Shares (determined at the time the ISOs are granted) exceeds $100,000.
(c) Nothing in this Section 5.2 shall be deemed to prevent the grant of
nonqualified stock options in excess of the maximum amount that may be granted
to a Participant as ISOs under Section 422 of the Code.
Section 5.3 Reload Options.
The Committee may grant reload options subject to such conditions and provisions
as the Committee shall determine. Reload options shall not exceed the number of
Shares used to pay the exercise price of the underlying options and shall not
include any Shares used to satisfy any tax withholding requirements on account
of the exercise of the underlying options. The reload option may not be
exercised during a period longer than the exercise period of the underlying
option that it replaces. The grant of a reload option shall become effective
upon the exercise of the underlying option through the use of Shares. The option
price for a reload option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date the grant of the reload option becomes effective.
Section 5.4 Award Agreement.
Each option grant shall be evidenced by an award agreement that shall specify
the exercise price, the duration of the option, the number of Shares to which
the option pertains, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.
The award agreement also shall specify whether the option is intended to be an
ISO.
Section 5.5 Exercise Price.
(a) The exercise price of options shall be determined by the Committee,
provided, however, that the exercise price per Share shall not be less than the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the option is granted.
9
167
(b) An ISO granted to a Participant who at the time of grant owns
(taking into account Section 424(d) of the Code) Shares representing more than
10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company
(herein a "Ten Percent Stockholder") shall have an exercise price that is at
least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the option.
Section 5.6 Duration of Options.
Each option shall expire at such time as the Committee shall determine at the
time of grant, provided that no ISO shall be exercisable later than the tenth
anniversary date of its grant. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, an ISO
granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be exercisable later than the
fifth anniversary date of its grant.
Section 5.7 Exercise of Options.
Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be subject
to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance
approve, which times, restrictions, and conditions need not be the same for each
grant or for each Participant. However, in no event may any option granted under
this Plan become exercisable earlier than six months after the date of its
grant.
Section 5.8 Payment.
(a) Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of
exercise to the Secretary of the Company that sets forth the number of Shares
with respect to which the option is to be exercised and is accompanied by full
payment for the exercise price of the Shares.
The exercise price shall be payable to the Company in full either:
(i) in cash or cash equivalent, or
(ii) if permitted under the award agreement, by tendering
previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value at the time of exercise
equal to the total exercise price pursuant to the options being exercised,
provided, however, that any Shares so tendered by a Participant must be
acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion.
(b) The Committee also may allow cashless exercise of options as
permitted under any law or regulation applicable to the Company or by any other
means that the Committee determines to be consistent with the Plan's purpose.
The proceeds from such a payment shall be added to the general funds of the
Company and shall be used for general corporate purposes.
(c) As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of
exercise and full payment, the Company shall deliver to the Participant or
permitted assignee, Share certificates in an appropriate amount based upon the
number of options exercised.
10
168
Section 5.9 Restrictions on Share Transferability.
The Committee shall impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to
the exercise of an option under the Plan as it may deem advisable, including
without limitation restrictions under applicable Federal securities laws, the
requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which the Shares are then
listed and/or traded, and any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to
the Shares. The Committee shall legend the certificates representing the Shares
to give appropriate notice of such restrictions.
Section 5.10 Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability, or Retirement.
If the employment of a Participant is terminated by reason of death, Disability,
or Retirement, options granted to the Participant under this Plan may be
exercised only as follows:
(a) Death. If the Participant's employment is terminated by reason of
death, any outstanding options granted to such Participant that are vested as of
the date of his death shall, subject to Section 5.6, remain exercisable at any
time prior to their expiration date or for one year after the date his
employment terminated, whichever period is shorter. The options may be exercised
by the Participant's Beneficiary or by such persons who have acquired the
Participant's rights under the options by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution or permitted transfer.
(b) Disability. If the Participant's employment is terminated by reason
of Disability, any outstanding options granted to such Participant that are
vested as of the date his employment terminates shall remain exercisable at any
time prior to their expiration date or for one year after the date that his
Disability is determined by the Committee to be total and permanent, whichever
period is shorter.
(c) Retirement. If the Participant's employment is terminated by reason
of Retirement, any outstanding options granted to such Participant that are
vested as of the effective date of his Retirement shall remain exercisable at
any time prior to their expiration date or for three years after his date of
Retirement, whichever period is shorter.
(d) Exercise Limitations on ISOs. Notwithstanding Sections 5.10(a), (b),
and (c), the right of a Participant to exercise an ISO shall be subject to the
limitations of Section 422 of the Code.
(e) Vesting at Termination Date. The following options shall be
considered vested as of the date the Participant's employment terminates:
(1) Options that were exercisable as of the date of employment
termination shall remain exercisable;
(2) An additional portion of the options shall become exercisable
upon termination of employment. This portion shall be a percentage of the
options equal to the product of (A) and (B) where:
11
169
(A) is the percentage of the options that otherwise would
have first become exercisable at the end of the calendar year in which the
employment termination occurs; and
(B) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of full weeks of employment during the calendar year in which employment
termination occurs, and the denominator of which is 52; and
(3) Except as provided in Section 5.10(f), options that are
scheduled to vest in a year that begins after the end of the calendar year in
which employment termination occurs shall be cancelled.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.10, the
Committee shall have the authority in its sole discretion to accelerate the
vesting of options that are outstanding as of the date a Participant's
employment terminates.
Section 5.11 Termination of Employment for Other Reasons.
(a) If the employment of a Participant shall terminate for any reason
other than the reasons set forth in Section 5.10 (other than for Cause), all
nonvested options held by the Participant shall vest only if the Committee
determines in its sole discretion to vest all or any portion of such options.
Thereafter, all vested options shall remain exercisable at any time prior to
their expiration date or for three months after the date that the Participant's
employment was terminated, whichever period is shorter. If the Committee does
not vest such options, the options shall be deemed for all purposes to have
remained unvested upon the termination of the Participant's employment.
(b) If a Participant's employment is terminated for Cause, all of his
outstanding options shall immediately be surrendered to the Company and no
additional exercise periods shall be allowed, regardless of the otherwise vested
status of the options.

ARTICLE VI
RESTRICTED STOCK
Section 6.1 Grant of Restricted Stock.
The Committee may grant Shares of restricted stock to eligible employees in
such amounts as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. Such
Shares of restricted stock may be issued for no consideration other than
services rendered.
Section 6.2 Award Agreement.
Each restricted stock grant shall be evidenced by an award agreement that
specifies the period (or periods) of restriction, the number of Shares of
restricted stock granted, and such other provisions as the Committee shall
determine.
Section 6.3 Transferability.
Except as provided in this Article VI or Section 8.1, Shares of restricted stock
may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated until the end of the applicable period of restriction or upon
earlier satisfaction of any other conditions as specified by the Committee in
its sole discretion and set forth in the award agreement. Subject to approval by
the Committee, Shares of restricted stock may be surrendered to satisfy the
exercise price of options granted to a Participant prior to the lapse of the
period of restriction. However, in no event may any restricted stock vest
earlier than six months following the date of its grant. Prior to the lapse of
the period of restriction, the rights with respect to a Participant's restricted
stock shall be available only to the Participant during his lifetime.
Section 6.4 Other Restrictions.
The Committee (i) may impose such other restrictions on any Shares of restricted
stock as it deems advisable, including without limitation restrictions based
upon the achievement of specific performance goals (Company-wide, subsidiary, or
business unit of the Company, and/or individual), (ii) shall impose restrictions
upon transfer of Shares after the period of restriction as may be required under
applicable Federal or state securities laws, and (iii) may legend the
certificates representing restricted stock to give appropriate notice of such
restrictions.
Section 6.5 Removal of Restrictions.
Except as otherwise provided in this Article VI, Shares of restricted stock
shall become freely transferable by the Participant after the last day of the
period of restriction. Once the restrictions on such Shares lapse, the
Participant shall be entitled to have any legend that was added pursuant to
Section 6.4 removed from his Share certificate.
13
171
Section 6.6 Voting Rights.
During the period of restriction, the Participant may exercise full voting
rights with respect to his Shares of restricted stock.
Section 6.7 Dividends and Other Distributions.
Participants holding Shares of restricted stock shall be entitled to receive all
dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares while they
are held during the period of restriction. The Committee shall establish in its
discretion the time at which the Participant shall receive such dividends and
distributions, which time may be any time from the date on which they are paid
generally to stockholders to the end of the period of restriction. If any such
dividends and distributions are paid in Shares, such Shares shall be subject to
the same restrictions on transferability and vesting as the Shares of restricted
stock with respect to which they were paid.
Section 6.8 Escrow.
Even though the certificates evidencing Shares of restricted stock shall be
issued in the name of the Participant, such certificates shall be held by the
Company in escrow subject to delivery to the Participant or to the Company at
such times and in such amounts as shall be directed by the Committee.
Certificates evidencing whole Shares issued as a stock dividend on or split-up
of Shares held in escrow shall be held in escrow on the terms set forth above.
Any fractional Shares so issued and any Shares acquired by a Participant's
exercise of subscription rights in respect of Shares held in escrow shall not be
subject to the escrow provisions and shall be the property of the Participant.
Section 6.9 Termination of Employment.
(a) The number of Shares of restricted stock that are vested as of the
date a Participant's employment terminates shall be determined in accordance
with the terms of the award agreement described in Section 6.2. The
Participant's nonvested Shares of restricted stock shall vest only if the
Committee determines in its sole discretion that they shall vest.
(b) With the exception of termination of employment for Cause, the
Committee in its sole discretion may provide that the restrictions shall lapse
on restricted stock after termination of employment, upon such terms and
provisions as it deems proper. If the Committee does not do so, the restrictions
upon restricted shares shall be deemed for all purposes not to have lapsed.
