Pricing Level	Issuer Ratings (S&P/▇▇▇▇▇’▇/Fitch)	Commitment Fee Rate	Eurodollar Margin	ABR Margin

For purposes hereof:

(A) when the Borrower has Issuer Ratings from all three of S&P, ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and Fitch: (i) if two or three of the three Issuer Ratings are in the same Pricing Level, such Pricing Level shall apply and (ii) if each of the three Issuer Ratings are in different Pricing Levels, the Issuer Ratings corresponding to the highest and the lowest Pricing Levels shall be disregarded and the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the Pricing Level which corresponds to the remaining Issuer Rating;

If the Issuer Ratings established or deemed to have been established by S&P, ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and Fitch shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of S&P, ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or Fitch), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency, irrespective of when notice of such change shall have been furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Each change in the Applicable Margin shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of S&P, ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or Fitch shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Lenders) shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

“U.S. Department of State Sanctions” means economic or financial sanctions or trade embargoes imposed or enforced from time to time by the U.S. government and administered by the U.S. Department of State.

“Withdrawal Liability” means liability to a Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan, as such terms are defined in Part I of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA.

Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to a fiscal period shall refer to

the relevant fiscal period of the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification ▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇ (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein and (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.

Section 1.04 Amendment and Restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement

The parties to this Agreement agree that, upon (i) the execution and delivery by each of the parties hereto of this Agreement and (ii) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.01, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation. All Revolving Loans made and obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as Revolving Loans and obligations under (and, as of the Effective Date, shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the effectiveness hereof: (a) all references in the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) to the “Administrative Agent”, the “Credit Agreement” and the “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to refer to the Administrative Agent, this Agreement and the Loan Documents, (b) the Existing Letters of Credit which remain outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as Letters of Credit under (and, as of the Effective Date, shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement, (c) all obligations of the Borrower owing to any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) the Administrative Agent shall make such reallocations, sales, assignments or other relevant actions in respect of each Lender’s credit exposure under the Existing Credit Agreement as are necessary in order that each such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure and outstanding Revolving Loans hereunder reflect such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding aggregate Revolving Exposures on the Effective Date, (e) the Existing Loans (as defined in Section 2.01) of each Departing Lender shall be repaid in full (accompanied by any accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon), each Departing Lender’s “Commitments” under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be terminated and each Departing Lender shall not be a Lender hereunder and (f) the Borrower hereby agrees to compensate each Lender (including each Departing Lender) for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurodollar Loans (including the “Eurodollar Loans” under the Existing Credit Agreement) and such reallocation described above, in each case on the terms and in the manner set forth in Section 3.06 hereof.


ARTICLE 2.	THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 Commitments

Prior to the Effective Date, certain loans were previously made to the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement which remain outstanding as of the date of this Agreement (such outstanding loans being hereinafter referred to as the “Existing Loans”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower and each of the Lenders agree that on the Effective Date but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 and the reallocation and other

transactions described in Section 1.04, the Existing Loans shall, as of the Effective Date, be reevidenced as Revolving Loans under this Agreement and the terms of the Existing Loans shall be restated in their entirety and shall be evidenced by this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings

(a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Revolving Loans as required. Any Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13.

(b) Subject to Section 3.04, each Revolving Loan shall be an ABR Loan or a Eurodollar Loan, as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith (including Section 3.02). Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan (and any ABR Loan, the interest on which is determined pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of Alternate Base Rate) by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan, provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan) is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000, provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments. Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time, provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of fifteen Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Commitment Termination Date.

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings

To request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan, requests for which are governed by Section 2.13), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone, which may be given by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager, (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.04) and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the President of the Borrower or a

Financial Officer. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04 Funding of Borrowings

(a) Each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.13. Subject to Section 5.02, the Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting or otherwise transferring the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Revolving Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, for a Eurodollar Borrowing or by 6:00 p.m., New York City time, for an ABR Borrowing on the applicable day, then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate that would be otherwise applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount

shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing. Such payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to its rights against each Lender who fails to fund its share of any Borrowing.

Section 2.05 Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments and the Letter of Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date; provided however, upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of a copy of an order or approval issued by the PUC, certified by a Financial Officer to be true and complete, which is final and not subject to review or appeal, that approves the extension of the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of Commitment Termination Date, then the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of Commitment Termination Date shall be automatically extended to the latest date permitted by such order or approval but in no event later than April 2, 2019.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments, provided that (i) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.07 and/or any concurrent cash collateralization of the Letter of Credit Exposure, (x) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (y) the total Revolving Credit Exposures of all of the Lenders would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or (z) the Aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments, and (ii) each such reduction shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least two Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments hereunder shall be permanent but without prejudice to the rights of the Borrower under paragraph (d) below. Each reduction of the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(d) Provided that immediately before and after giving effect thereto, no Default shall or would exist and be continuing and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 have been satisfied or waived, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time, on or before the Commitment Termination Date referred to in clause (a) of the definition thereof (including after giving effect to any extension thereof pursuant to Section 2.05(a)), request any one or more of the Lenders to increase (such decision to be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender) its Revolving Commitment and Letter of Credit Commitment, and/or any other Eligible Assignee reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to provide a new Revolving Commitment and a new Letter of Credit Commitment, by submitting an Increase Request in the form of Exhibit F (an “Increase Request”), duly executed by the Borrower and each such Lender or Eligible Assignee, as the case may be. Thereupon, the Administrative Agent

shall execute such Increase Request and deliver a copy thereof to the Borrower and each such Lender or Eligible Assignee, as the case may be.

Upon execution and delivery of such Increase Request, (i) in the case of each such Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be increased to the amount set forth in such Increase Request, (ii) in the case of each such Eligible Assignee, such Eligible Assignee shall become a party hereto and shall for all purposes of the Loan Documents be deemed a “Lender” with a Revolving Commitment in the amount set forth in such Increase Request, and (iii) the Borrower shall contemporaneously therewith execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Note or Notes for each such Eligible Assignee providing a new Revolving Commitment and for such existing Lender increasing its Revolving Commitment provided, however, that:

(i) immediately after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall not have been increased pursuant to this subsection (d) to an amount greater than the sum of (x) $275,000,000 plus (y) the amount of the Revolving Commitment of each Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender;

(ii) each such increase shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or such amount plus an integral multiple of $1,000,000;

(iii) the Revolving Commitments shall not be increased on more than three occasions;

(iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents (including, without limitation, one or more opinions of counsel) consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase;

(v) if Loans shall be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such increase, the Lenders shall, upon the acceptance of the Increase Request by, and at the direction of, the Administrative Agent, make appropriate adjustments among themselves so that the amount of Revolving Credit Exposures from any of the Lenders under this Agreement are allocated among the Lenders according to their Commitment Percentages after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (it being understood and agreed that any reallocation made pursuant to this clause (v) shall require the Borrower to make payment pursuant to Section 3.06 with respect to any affected Eurodollar Loans);

(vi) each such Eligible Assignee shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an Administrative Questionnaire and all forms, if any, that are required to be delivered by such Eligible Assignee pursuant to Section 3.07(e); and

(vii) the Administrative Agent shall have received (1) a copy of an order or approval issued by the PUC, certified by a Financial Officer to be true and complete, which is final and not subject to review or appeal, that authorizes the Borrower to obtain any increase in the Commitments requested by the Borrower and (2) a certificate of a Financial Officer attaching thereto resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower authorizing any increase of the Commitments requested by the Borrower.

Section 2.06 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Commitment Termination Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Commitment Termination Date and the date that is the 21^st Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type and Class thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall, to the extent not inconsistent with any entries made in any Note, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein except for clearly demonstrated error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Loans of each Lender and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be evidenced by one or more Notes payable to the order of such Lender (or, if such Note is a registered Note, to such Lender and its registered assigns).

Section 2.07 Prepayment of Loans

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section.

(b) In the event of any partial reduction or termination of the Commitments, then (i) at or prior to the date of such reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Aggregate Credit Exposures after giving effect thereto, and (ii) if such sum would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction or termination, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or termination, prepay Revolving Borrowings, and/or cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Exposure, in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(i) The Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans, by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans over the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(ii) Simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, (1) in the event that the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments as so reduced or terminated, the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments shall be automatically reduced, and/or the Letter of Credit Exposure shall be cash collateralized, by an amount equal to such excess, and (2) the Borrower shall prepay the Loans by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans over the Aggregate Revolving Commitments as so reduced or terminated.

(d) Simultaneously with each prepayment of a Loan, the Borrower shall, if and to the extent required by Section 3.01(d), prepay all accrued interest on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.

(e) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone, which may be given by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager (confirmed by facsimile transmission executed by the President of the Borrower or a Financial Officer) of any prepayment under Section 2.07(a) (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan), not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of the prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided, that if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments contemplated by Section 2.05(c), then such notice of prepayment may also be conditional and may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.05(c). Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a prepayment of a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing under Section 2.07(a) shall, be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest if and to the extent required by Section 3.01.

Section 2.08 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 or 10.03, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its office at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, or such other office as to which the Administrative Agent may notify the other parties hereto, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.03(b) (with respect to the fronting fee and other amounts payable to the Issuing Bank), 3.03(c), 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08, 10.03 and 10.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. In the event the Administrative Agent has not in fact made available to each Lender its

share of the applicable payment within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, then the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to the applicable Lender forthwith on demand its share of such payment with interest thereon for each day, from and including the second Business Day after such payment was received by the Administrative Agent but excluding the date of payment by the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment of accrued interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal of Loans, interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and commissions then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal of Loans then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal of Loans then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of, and accrued interest on, their respective Loans, provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Credit Parties hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to such Credit Parties the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each such Credit Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Credit Party with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Credit Party shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Credit Party to satisfy such Credit Party’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.09 Letter of Credit Sub-Facility

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance on the agreement of the other Lenders set forth in Section 2.10, to issue standby or documentary letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”; each, individually, a “Letter of Credit”) during the Availability Period for the account of the Borrower, provided that immediately after the issuance of each Letter of Credit (i) the Letter of Credit Exposure of each Lender (whether or not the conditions for drawing under any Letter of Credit have or may be satisfied) would not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment and (ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the letters of credit identified on Schedule 2.09 (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” issued on the Effective Date for all purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section shall have an expiration date which shall be not later than the earlier of (i) three hundred sixty-four days after the date of issuance thereof and (ii) five Business Days before the Commitment Termination Date referred to in clause (a) of the definition thereof, including any extension thereof contemplated by Section 2.05(a), provided that any Letter of Credit with a three hundred sixty-four day tenor may provide for the periodic and/or successive renewals or extensions thereof for additional periods expiring prior to the earlier to occur of (x) three hundred sixty-four days after the date of such renewal or extension and (y) date referred to in clause (ii) above. No Letter of Credit shall be issued if the Administrative Agent, or the Required Lenders by notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, shall have determined that any condition set forth in Section 5.01 or 5.02 has not been satisfied.

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for the account of the Borrower in support of an obligation of the Borrower or a Subsidiary in favor of a beneficiary who has requested the issuance of such Letter of Credit as a condition to a transaction entered into in connection with the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s ordinary course of business. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Request for the issuance of each Letter of Credit by 2:00 p.m. New York City time, two Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance. If requested by the Issuing Bank, each Letter of Credit Request shall be accompanied by the Issuing Bank’s standard application and agreement for standby or documentary letters of credit, as applicable (each, a “Reimbursement Agreement”) executed by the President of the Borrower or a Financial Officer, and shall specify (i) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower or such Subsidiary in respect of which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, (ii) the Borrower’s proposal as to the conditions under which a drawing may be made under such Letter of Credit and the documentation to be required in respect thereof, (iii) the maximum amount to be available under such Letter of Credit, and (iv) the requested dates of issuance and expiration. Upon receipt of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Bank and each other Lender thereof. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, with such provisions with respect to the conditions under which a drawing may be made thereunder and the documentation required in respect of such drawing as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require. Each Letter of Credit shall be used solely for the purposes described therein. The Issuing Bank shall, on the proposed date of issuance and subject to the terms and conditions of the

Reimbursement Agreement, if any, and to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit.

(c) Each payment by the Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under a Letter of Credit shall give rise to an obligation on the part of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank by 3:00 P.M. New York City time two Business Days after the date of such payment together with interest on the amount of such payment from the date such payment was made by the Issuing Bank; provided that, if the amount of the draft drawn under such Letter of Credit is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.13 that such payment be financed with an ABR Loan in an equivalent amount of such draft drawn under such Letter of Credit and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Loan.

Section 2.10 Letter of Credit Participation and Funding Commitments

(a) Each Lender hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and severally (and not jointly) for itself only and without any notice to or the taking of any action by such Lender, takes an undivided participating interest in the obligations of the Issuing Bank under and in connection with each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall be liable to the Issuing Bank for its Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any draft drawn and honored under each Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall also be liable for an amount equal to the product of its Commitment Percentage and any amounts paid by the Borrower that are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must otherwise be restored or returned. Such liabilities shall be unconditional and without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or the compliance by the Borrower with any of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

(b) The Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender (which notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing) of the date and the amount of any draft presented under any Letter of Credit with respect to which full reimbursement of payment is not made by the Borrower as provided in Section 2.09(c), and forthwith upon receipt of such notice, such Lender (other than the Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender) shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such unreimbursed draft at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.01, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds, before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day such notice was given by the Administrative Agent, if the relevant notice was given by the Administrative Agent at or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day, and before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next Business Day, if the relevant notice was given by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute the payments made by each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender) pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to the Issuing Bank promptly upon receipt thereof in like funds as received. In the event the Administrative Agent has not in fact made available to the Issuing Bank such payment within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, then the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such payment with interest thereon for each day, from and including the second Business Day after such payment was received by the Administrative Agent but excluding the date of payment by the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from and against any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties),

actions, suits, judgments, demands, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel to the Issuing Bank as the issuer of the relevant Letter of Credit) resulting from any failure on the part of such Lender to provide, or from any delay in providing, the Administrative Agent with such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit in accordance with this subsection (b) (except in respect of losses, liabilities or other obligations suffered by the Issuing Bank resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank). If a Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent when due such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit (other than payments made by the Issuing Bank by reason of its gross negligence or willful misconduct), such Lender shall be required to pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such payment at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days after the due date of such payment until the date such payment is received by the Administrative Agent and the Federal Funds Rate plus 2% thereafter.

(c) Whenever the Administrative Agent is reimbursed by the Borrower, for the account of the Issuing Bank, for any payment under a Letter of Credit and such payment relates to an amount previously paid by a Lender in respect of its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment under such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent (or the Issuing Bank, to the extent that the Administrative Agent has paid the same to the Issuing Bank) will pay over such payment to such Lender before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day such payment from the Borrower is received, if such payment is received at or prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day, or before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day, if such payment from the Borrower is received after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day.

Section 2.11 Absolute Obligation With Respect to Letter of Credit Payments; Cash Collateral; Replacement of Issuing Bank

(a) The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit for each payment under or in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, as issuer of such Letter of Credit, any Lender or any other Person, including, without limitation, (i) any defense based on the failure of any drawing to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit, (ii) any drawing document proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect, (iii) the legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or this Agreement, (iv) any payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentment of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (v) any other event or circumstance that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder; provided, that, with respect to any Letter of Credit, the foregoing shall not relieve the Issuing Bank of any liability it may have to the Borrower for any actual damages sustained by the Borrower arising from a wrongful payment under such Letter of Credit made as a result of the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall within one Business Day from the time it receives a demand therefor from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 8, deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the

Lenders, an amount in cash equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Reimbursement Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. The Administrative Agent shall invest such deposits in Permitted Investments and interest or profits on such investments shall accumulate in such account. The moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for Reimbursement Obligations, and (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower.

(c) The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank, it being understood and agreed that such parties shall not unreasonably delay or withhold their consent to any such agreement. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.03(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

Section 2.12 Defaulting Lenders

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(a);

(b) the Commitments and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, modification or waiver pursuant to Section 10.02); provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.02, (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) any amendment or modification that increases, or extends the maturity of, such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment or reduces the principal amount of, or rate of interest on, any Loan made by such Defaulting Lender, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and such Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their

respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.11(b) for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 3.03(a) and 3.03(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.03(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(d) if and so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.12(c), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.12(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, and all cash collateral and accrued interest thereon held by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank shall be returned to the Borrower forthwith.

Section 2.13 Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $20,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone, which notification may be given by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan and shall be confirmed promptly by facsimile transmission to the Administrative Agent signed by the President of the Borrower or a Financial Officer. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of a Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in Section 2.09(c), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as

applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.


ARTICLE 3.	INTEREST, FEES, YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 3.01 Interest

(a) ABR Loans (including each Swingline Loan) and unpaid Reimbursement Obligations shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Eurodollar Borrowings shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of and interest on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due and after the expiration of any applicable grace period, then all such amounts shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or Reimbursement Obligation as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan before the end of the Availability Period), and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) in the period in question. The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error.

Section 3.02 Interest Elections

(a) Any Borrowing on the Effective Date shall be of ABR Loans. Thereafter, each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably (subject to the provisions of Section 2.12) among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall

be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone, which may be made by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or by the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.04, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the President of the Borrower or a Financial Officer.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued beyond the current Interest Period as a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 3.03 Fees

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the average daily amount of the unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date on which this Agreement shall have become effective in accordance with Section 10.06 to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. For purposes of calculating the commitment fee, Swingline Exposure shall not be considered usage of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of January, April, July and October of each year and on the Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears during the period from and including the date of issuance thereof to and including the expiration or cancellation date thereof (a) on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October of each year, (b) upon such expiration or cancellation date and (c) on the Commitment Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on Eurodollar Borrowings on the average daily amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations). The Borrower also agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations) attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any Letter of Credit Exposure, payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of January, April, July and October of each year, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees and commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, presentment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. The Letter of Credit Fee and the fronting fees described above shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) during the period in question on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees and other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) during the period in question.

(e) All fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, to the Lenders. Fees and other amounts paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances other than clearly demonstrable error.

Section 3.04 Alternate Rate of Interest

If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent clearly demonstrable error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile transmission as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall have submitted a Borrowing Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing and the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower in accordance with the preceding sentence that such Borrowing will be made as an ABR Borrowing, the Borrower shall have the right, prior to the time by which it would have had to submit a Borrowing Request for an ABR Borrowing to be made on the same date, to withdraw such Borrowing Request.

Section 3.05 Increased Costs; Illegality

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Credit Party (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);

(ii) impose on any Credit Party or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, any Eurodollar Loans made by such Credit Party or any participation therein; or

(iii) subject the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan hereunder (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will, upon request by the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party, pay to the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Credit Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Credit

Party’s capital or on the capital of such Credit Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Credit Party to a level below that which such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Credit Party’s policies and the policies of such Credit Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Credit Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Credit Party or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section including reasonably detailed supporting information shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error, it being understood that the Borrower’s obligations payable to any Credit Party pursuant to this clause (c) will be reasonably determined by such Credit Party (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of such Credit Party under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.05 after consideration of such factors as such Credit Party then reasonably determines to be relevant). The Borrower shall pay such Credit Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof unless the Borrower is asserting in good faith that there is clearly demonstrable error in such certificate.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Credit Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Credit Party notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Credit Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof but not to exceed a period of 365 days.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date of this Agreement, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing, as applicable, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as applicable), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans, as applicable. For purposes of this paragraph, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

Section 3.06 Break Funding Payments

In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment (voluntary or otherwise) of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof unless there is clearly demonstrable error in any such certificate.

Section 3.07 Taxes

(a) Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, provided that, if the Borrower is required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition (but without duplication) the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of

such Credit Party, any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Credit Party, including, if available, reasonably detailed supporting information, shall be delivered to and be binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. If any Credit Party receives a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes for which such Credit Party has received payment from the Borrower hereunder, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such refund and shall promptly upon receipt repay such refund to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Credit Party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority, if applicable); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Credit Party, agrees to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Credit Party in the event such Credit Party is required to repay such refund. Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the Borrower from contesting or seeking a refund of any Indemnified Taxes after payment thereof has been made in accordance with this Section and each Credit Party shall take such steps as the Borrower shall reasonably request to assist the Borrower in contesting or seeking a refund of any Indemnified Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (c), in no event will any Credit Party be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (c) the payment of which would place such Credit Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Credit Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section shall not be construed to require any Credit Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to either the Borrower or any other Person.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Credit Party shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Credit Party (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Credit Party’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Credit Party, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Credit Party by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Credit Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Credit Party under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Credit Party from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) (i) Any Credit Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the

Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Credit Party, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Credit Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.07(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Credit Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Credit Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Credit Party.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Credit Party that is a “United States” Person under the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Credit Party becomes a Credit Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Credit Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Credit Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a

partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Credit Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Credit Party under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Credit Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Credit Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Credit Party has complied with such Credit Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Credit Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Section 3.08 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.07, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans (or any participation therein) hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05 or 3.07, as applicable, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.07, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under Section 10.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders and with respect to which the

Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign, and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consents of the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, which consents shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.05 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.07, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and any contemporaneous assignments and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(v) if to any other Credit Party, to it at its address (or facsimile number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through Electronic Systems, to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

(d) Electronic Systems.

(i) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System.

(ii) Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through an Electronic System. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.

Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendments

(a) No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender,

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligations, or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than the imposition of additional interest under Section 3.01(c)), or reduce any fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Credit Party directly affected thereby,

(iv) change any provision hereof in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required by any Loan Document, without the written consent of each Credit Party, or

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender,

and provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of (A) the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, (B) the Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank and (C) the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Swingline Lender (it being understood that any change to Section 2.12 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (x) to add one or more credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders.

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) an Eligible Assignee shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other obligations due to the Non-

Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 10.04, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 3.05 and 3.07, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.06 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency.

Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers, including the reasonable and duly documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of any Loan Document (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Credit Party, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent and a single counsel for the other Credit Parties, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with and during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loans and the Letters of Credit.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party and each Related Party thereof (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of (or a breach in bad faith by such Indemnitee of its express obligations under any Loan Document) such Indemnitee, (B) arise out of a claim brought by the Borrower against an

Indemnitee for a breach which is finally determined by a final and nonappealable judgment to have constituted a bad faith breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement or (C) relate to Taxes, except as provided in Section 3.07.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as applicable, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or the Borrower, as the case may be, (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) (except, in the case of a claim against an Indemnitee, to the extent of direct or actual damages as are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee) or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations to Indemnitees in respect of claims made by third parties as set forth in Section 10.03(b).

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly, but in any event no later than 30 days, after written demand therefor, accompanied by proper supporting documentation, and without prejudice to the Borrower’s right to contest the amount or the validity of any claim for payment.

Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Credit Party (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each Credit Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of any Loan Document.

(b) Each Lender may, and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if demanded by the Borrower pursuant to 3.08(b) upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent will, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans (including, for the purposes of this Section 10.04(b), participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans) owing to it and the Note held by it);

provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any or all facilities (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 8(a), Section 8(h) or Section 8(i) or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof)), (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Class of Loans or the Commitments assigned, (iv) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender, such assignment shall be approved, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 8(a), Section 8(h) or Section 8(i) and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (v) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (vi) each assignment must be approved (such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank unless the Person that is proposed is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee), (vii) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(b) shall be arranged by the Borrower after consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (viii) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(b) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from the Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Borrowing owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and (ix) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note subject to such assignment and (except in the case of any such assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that for each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.08, the Borrower or such assignee shall pay to the Administrative Agent the applicable processing and recordation fee.

(c) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or the Issuing Bank assignor

thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 3.05, 3.07 and 10.03 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).

(d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Credit Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Credit Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Credit Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Credit Party or any other Credit Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Credit Parties and their Commitments under each facility of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing under each facility to, each Credit Party from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent clearly demonstrable error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Credit Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, such assignment shall be effective between such Lender and its Affiliate immediately without compliance with the conditions for assignment under this Section 10.04, but shall not be effective with respect to any other party hereto, and each other party hereto shall be entitled to deal solely with such assigning Lender under any such assignment, in each case until the conditions for assignment under this Section 10.04 have been satisfied. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Credit Party and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under each facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such facility, a new Note to the order of such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto.

(g) Each Credit Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Reimbursement Obligations and Swingline Loans) owing to it and the Note (if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Credit Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Credit Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Credit Party shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Credit Party in connection with such Credit Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Borrowings or Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Borrowings or Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.08(c) and Section 10.12 as though it were a Lender. A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.05 or 3.07 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant. Each Credit Party that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Credit Party shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be

conclusive absent manifest error, and such Credit Party shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(h) Any Credit Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Credit Party by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential Information received by it from such Credit Party in accordance with Section 10.12 to the same extent as if it were a Credit Party.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 10.05 Survival

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Document and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission, e-mailed.pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the

transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 10.07 Severability

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).

Section 10.11 Headings

Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Confidentiality

Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) and not to use Information in violation of law, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, provided that each such Person agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information on the terms set forth in this Section, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or, (ii) becomes available to such Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and without breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that, unless prohibited by applicable law, a Credit Party will provide prior notice to the Borrower of such

Credit Party’s intention to disclose Information pursuant to clause (c) above or to disclose Information pursuant to clause (e) above in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, including, without limitation, information received from the Borrower or any of its Related Parties pursuant to Section 6.01(f), 6.02 and 6.06 of this Agreement, other than any such information that is available to any Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER, THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

Section 10.13 Interest Rate Limitation

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “maximum rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all of the charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the maximum rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and the charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated, and the interest and the charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the maximum rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 10.14 No Third Parties Benefited

This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and their permitted successors

and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or other Loan Documents.

Section 10.15 USA PATRIOT Act Notice

Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent and such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 10.16 No Fiduciary Duty

The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender Parties”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its stockholders and/or its affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender Party, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender Party has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Party has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against any Lender Party with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

EXISTING RESTRICTIONS

Pursuant to Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement, the following restrictions and conditions exist on April 2, 2014:

1. Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (“Hawaiian Electric”), Maui Electric Company, Ltd. (“Maui Electric”) and Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. (“Hawaii Electric Light”) are subject to restrictive covenants in connection with the offer and sale in March 2004 of Cumulative Quarterly Income Preferred Securities, as disclosed in the Registration Statements on Form ▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇▇. Nos. 333-111073, ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇, ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇ and ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇ filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

2. Hawaiian Electric, Maui Electric and Hawaii Electric Light are subject to restrictive covenants in connection with their cumulative preferred stock financings to the effect that, until dividends have been paid or declared or set apart for payment on all shares of the respective company’s cumulative preferred stock, (a) no distributions on the respective company’s common stock or any future class of stock except cumulative preferred stock shall be made and (b) the respective company shall not purchase or otherwise acquire any of the respective company’s common stock or any future class of stock except cumulative preferred stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution, receivership, bankruptcy, disincorporation or winding up of the affairs of the respective company, cumulative preferred stockholders are entitled to the par value of their shares and accrued and unpaid dividends, before any distribution is made to holders of the respective company’s common stock or any future class of stock except cumulative preferred stock.

3. Hawaiian Electric, Maui Electric and Hawaii Electric Light are subject to restrictive covenants in connection with their special purpose revenue bonds which contain provisions to the effect that Hawaiian Electric, Maui Electric and Hawaii Electric Light shall not dissolve or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its assets, and will not consolidate with or merge into another entity or permit other entities to consolidate with or merge into it, unless certain specific requirements are met.

4. Hawaiian Electric, Maui Electric and Hawaii Electric Light are subject to restrictive covenants in connection with their Note Purchase Agreements dated as of April 19, 2012 and October 3, 2013 and Hawaiian Electric’s Note Purchase Agreement dated as of September 13, 2012 (together the “Note Agreements”), pursuant to which several series of unsecured notes were issued in private placements. The Note Agreements contain affirmative and negative restrictions, including a negative covenant that Hawaiian Electric will not permit the ratio of any Significant Subsidiaries’ Consolidated Subsidiary Funded Debt to its Capitalization exceed a specified level, and this restriction could operate indirectly to restrict the ability of Significant Subsidiaries to make Restricted Payments to Hawaiian Electric. Hawaiian Electric also entered into two similar Note Purchase Agreements on each of the same April 19, 2013 and October 3, 2013 dates under which it is a “Guarantor” of Maui Electric (in two such Agreements) and a Guarantor of Hawaii Electric Light (in two other such Agreements). Each of these agreements contains similar negative covenants relating to Maui Electric and Hawaii Electric Light (as well as Hawaiian Electric) relating to their respective Consolidated Subsidiary Funded Debt to Capitalization ratios and those of their respective Significant Subsidiaries. The affirmative and negative restrictions are disclosed in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 23, 2012, September 14, 2012 and October 7, 2013 and in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 7, 2013, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

FORM OF OPINION LETTER OF GOODSILL ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP

April 2, 2014

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent,

and the Lenders referred to in the

Credit Agreement (as defined below)

▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Re: Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (the “Borrower”), in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 2, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders” and each, a “Lender”), the agents party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national banking association, as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank (the “Administrative Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement. This opinion letter is rendered to you pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(i) of the Credit Agreement.

In rendering the opinions set forth in this opinion letter, we have examined originals or copies of the following documents:

(i)the Credit Agreement;

(ii)the Notes;

(iii)the Amended Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Borrower’s Charter”) of the Borrower, as filed with the Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs for the State of Hawaii;

(iv)the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Borrower (the “Borrower’s By-Laws”; and, together with the Borrower’s Charter, collectively, the “Governing Documents”);

(v)the Certificate of the Secretary of the Borrower, as of the date hereof (the “Secretary’s Certificate”), as to the Governing Documents, as to certain actions taken by the Board of Directors of the Borrower on November 2, 2011, and as to the titles, incumbency and specimen signatures of certain officers of the Borrower; and

(vi)a Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Director of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs of the State of Hawaii.

B-1-1

April 2, 2014

Page 2

The documents specified in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Loan Documents”. In rendering this opinion, we have reviewed such certificates and other information from public and government officials and from officers and employees of the Borrower, and we have also examined such documents and corporate and other records as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the opinions set forth in this opinion letter. However, we have made no independent verification or investigation of the factual matters set forth therein.

In our examination of the documents referred to in this opinion letter, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals or copies, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

Based on the foregoing and subject to the other qualifications, assumptions, exclusions, and other limitations stated herein and in the Annexes attached to this opinion letter, and as limited thereby, and after examination of such matters of law as we have deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that:

1.Each Loan Document is a valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and is enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms.

2.The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents and the performance of its obligations under each Loan Document will not (a) violate any order, writ, injunction, judgment, determination, award or decree of which we are aware of any court applicable to the Borrower, or (b) constitute a violation by the Borrower of any applicable provisions of existing statutory law or governmental regulation covered by this opinion letter that in our experience, without having made any special investigations as to the applicability of any specific law, rule or regulation, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Loan Documents.

3.The Borrower is presently not required to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or order of, or make any filing with, any United States federal or State of Hawaii court or governmental or regulatory agency in order to obtain the right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents, to borrow money under the Credit Agreement, and to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents except, in each case, for actions or filings required in connection with the ordinary course conduct by the Borrower of its business and ownership or operation by the Borrower of its assets.

4.The Borrower is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Our opinions are subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth in Annex A to this opinion letter and do not cover or otherwise address any law or legal issue which is identified in Annex B to this opinion letter.

We are members of the Bar of the State of Hawaii and our advice on every legal issue addressed in this opinion letter is based solely on the internal laws of the State of Hawaii and such federal laws of the United States which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type reflected in the Loan Documents. Our opinion with regard to the validity, binding nature and enforceability of each of the Loan Documents is based upon the assumptions that the laws of the State of New York govern the Loan Documents and that the laws of the State of Hawaii are the same in all relevant respects as the laws of the State of New York, and we give no opinion with respect to the

B-1-2

April 2, 2014

Page 3

enforceability of the Loan Documents to the extent that the laws of the State of New York differ from the laws of the State of Hawaii. We note that, as provided in Section 2.05(a) of the Credit Agreement, approval of the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission will be required to extend the term of the Credit Agreement.

We have not undertaken any research for purposes of determining whether the Borrower or any of the transactions which may occur in connection with the Loan Documents is subject to any law, rule, regulation or other governmental requirement other than to those laws, rules, regulations and requirements which in our experience would generally be recognized as applicable to companies engaged in business similar to the Borrower, and none of our opinions covers any such law, rule, regulation or other requirement. We have relied, without any independent verification upon: (i) information contained in certificates obtained from governmental authorities; (ii) factual information represented to be true in the Loan Documents; (iii) factual information provided to us by the Borrower; and (iv) factual information we have obtained from such other sources as we have deemed reliable. Except as expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence, absence, accuracy or completeness of such facts as of the date of this opinion letter and no inference as to our knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn.

Whenever an opinion expressed herein is qualified by the phrase “to our knowledge,” “known to us,” or “nothing has come to our attention” or other phrase of similar import, such phrase means awareness at the time this letter is delivered on the date it bears by the following Goodsill ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP lawyers who have had significant involvement with the negotiation or preparation of the Transaction Documents: ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ (together, our “Designated Lawyers”), but does not include other information that might be revealed if there were to be undertaken a canvass of all lawyers in our firm, a general search of all files or any other type of independent investigation.

Our opinion on each legal issue addressed in this letter represents our opinion as to how that issue would be resolved were it to be considered by the Supreme Court of the State of Hawaii for opinions that are based on Hawaii law, and by the Supreme Court of the United States for opinions that are based on United States federal law. The manner in which any particular issue would be treated in any actual court case would depend in part on facts and circumstances particular to the case, and this opinion letter is not intended to guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute which may arise in the future.

This opinion letter speaks as of the time of its delivery on the date it bears. We do not assume any obligation to provide you with any subsequent opinion or advice by reason of any fact about which the Designated Lawyers did not have actual knowledge at that time, by reason of any change subsequent to that time in any law covered by any of our opinions, or for any other reason.

You may rely upon this opinion letter only for the purpose served by the provision in the Credit Agreement cited in the initial paragraph of this opinion letter in response to which it has been delivered. Without our written consent: (i) no Person other than you (and your permitted assignees under the Credit Agreement) may rely on this opinion letter for any purpose; (ii) this opinion letter may not be cited or quoted in any financial statement, prospectus, private placement memorandum or other similar document; (iii) this opinion letter may not be cited or quoted in any other document or communication which might encourage reliance upon this opinion letter by any Person or for any purpose excluded by the restrictions in this paragraph; and (iv) copies of this opinion letter may not be furnished to anyone for purposes of encouraging such reliance.

Sincerely,

B-1-3

ANNEX A

For purposes of this opinion letter, we have relied, without investigation, upon each of the following assumptions:

1.(a) each Lender and agent (in each case, “you”) is existing and in good standing in your jurisdiction of organization or formation, (b) you have the requisite power (including, without limitation, under the laws of your jurisdiction of organization or formation) to execute, deliver and perform your obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which you are a party, (c) each of the Loan Documents to which you are a party has been duly authorized by all necessary action on your part and has been duly executed and delivered by you, (d) you have satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to you to the extent necessary to make the Loan Documents to which you are a party enforceable against you, and (e) each of the Loan Documents to which you are a party constitute valid and binding obligations of yours and are enforceable against you in accordance with their terms (subject to the qualifications, exclusions and other limitations similar to those applicable to this opinion letter);

2.each of the Loan Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto; the Borrower is duly organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Hawaii and is validly existing under the laws of the State of Hawaii and the Borrower has full power, authority and legal right (including, without limitation, any legal right dependent upon there being no necessary governmental approvals or filings and no conflict with laws, governing documents or contracts) to make and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents;

3.each certificate obtained from a governmental authority relied on by us is accurate, complete and authentic and all relevant official public records to which each such certificate relates are accurate and complete;

4.each person who has taken any action relevant to any of our opinions in the capacity of director or officer of any Person was duly elected or appointed to that director or officer position of such Person and held that position when such action was taken;

5.the constitutionality or validity of a relevant statute, rule, regulation or agency action is not in issue;

6.there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence;

7.the conduct of the parties to the Loan Documents has complied with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing and conscionability; and

8.there are no agreements or understandings among the parties to any of the Loan Documents, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of any of the Loan Documents.

We understand that you are separately receiving an opinion from the Borrower’s General Counsel with respect to certain of the foregoing assumptions, and we are advised that such opinion contains qualifications. Our opinion herein stated is based on the assumptions specified in this Annex A and in this opinion letter and we express no opinion as to the effect on the opinions herein stated of the qualifications contained in such other opinion.

Each of our opinions in this opinion letter is subject to:

1.the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, arrangement and other similar laws, including (a) Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (including matters of turn-over, automatic stay, avoiding powers, fraudulent transfer, preference, discharge, conversion of a non-recourse obligation into a recourse claim, limitations on ipso facto and anti-assignment clauses and the coverage of pre-petition security agreements applicable to property acquired after a petition is filed); (b) all other Federal and state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, arrangement and assignment for the benefit of creditors laws that affect the rights of creditors generally or that have reference to or affect only creditors of specific types of debtors; (c) state fraudulent transfer and conveyance laws; and (d) judicially developed doctrines in this area, such as substantive consolidation of entities, recharacterization and equitable subordination;

2.the effect of general principles of equity, whether applied by a court of law or equity, including principles (a) governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, which generally place the award of such remedies, subject to certain guidelines, in the discretion of the court to which application for such relief is made; (b) affording equitable defenses (e.g., waiver, laches and estoppel) against a party seeking enforcement; (c) requiring good faith and fair dealing in the performance and enforcement of a contract by the party seeking its enforcement; (d) requiring reasonableness in the performance and enforcement of an agreement by the party seeking enforcement of the contract; (e) requiring consideration of the materiality of (i) a breach and (ii) the consequences of the breach to the party seeking enforcement; (f) requiring consideration of the impracticability or impossibility of performance at the time of attempted enforcement; and (g) affording defenses based upon the unconscionability of the enforcing party’s conduct after the parties have entered into the contract;

3.the qualification that provisions of any Loan Document stating that such Loan Document may only be amended or waived in writing may not be enforceable to the extent that an oral agreement or an implied agreement by trade practice, custom or course of conduct or dealing has been created modifying any such Loan Document or allowing such amendment or waiver;

4.the qualification that we express no opinion as to the effect on the opinions expressed herein of (i) the compliance or non-compliance of any party to any of the Loan Documents with any state, Federal or other laws or regulations applicable to it, or (ii) the legal or regulatory status or the nature of the business of any party;

5.the qualification that we express no opinion as to the title to any asset or the validity, perfection or priority of any security interest;

6.the qualification that we express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision of any of the Loan Documents (i) which requires further agreement by the parties or expressly or impliedly permits any party to take discretionary action which is arbitrary, unreasonable, or capricious, or would violate any implied covenant of good faith or would be commercially unreasonable, whether or not such action is permitted according to the specific terms of

Annex A-2

any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) regarding remedies available to any party for violations or breaches which are determined by a court to be nonmaterial or without substantial adverse effect upon the ability of the obligor to perform its material obligations thereunder;

7.the qualification as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of provisions in the Loan Documents specifying certain remedies or that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to any other right or remedy, and/or that the election of a particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others;

8.the effect of rules of law that: (a) limit or affect the enforcement of provisions of a contract that purport to waive, or to require waiver of, the obligations of good faith, fair dealing, diligence and reasonableness; (b) provide that forum selection clauses in contracts are not necessarily binding on the court(s) in the forum selected; (c) limit the availability of a remedy under certain circumstances where another remedy has been elected; (d) provide a time limitation after which a remedy may not be enforced; (e) limit the right of a creditor to use force or cause a breach of the peace in enforcing rights; (f) relate to the sale or disposition of collateral or the requirements of a commercially reasonable sale; (g) limit the enforceability of provisions releasing, exculpating or exempting a party from, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct, unlawful conduct, violation of public policy or litigation against another party determined adversely to such party; (h) may, where less than all of a contract may be unenforceable, limit the enforceability of the balance of the contract to circumstances in which the unenforceable portion is not an essential part of the agreed exchange; (i) govern and afford judicial discretion regarding the determination of damages and entitlement to attorneys’ fees and other costs; and (j) may permit a party that has materially failed to render or offer performance required by the contract to cure that failure unless (x) permitting a cure would unreasonably hinder the aggrieved party from making substitute arrangements for performance, or (y) it was important in the circumstances to the aggrieved party that performance occur by the date stated in the contract; and

9.the qualification that enforcement of any waiver and release or limitation of liability provisions in any of the Loan Documents may be limited to the extent such provisions are contrary to public policy or principles of equity, but such policy and equitable limitations do not, in our opinion, render the Loan Documents invalid as a whole or preclude the judicial enforcement of the obligation of the Borrower to repay the principal, together with interest thereon (to the extent not deemed a penalty) as provided in the Loan Documents.

None of the opinions in this opinion letter covers or otherwise addresses any of the following types of provisions which may be contained in the Loan Documents:

1.choice-of-law provisions;

2.waivers of (a) legal or equitable defenses, (b) rights to damages, (c) rights to counter claim or set off, (d) statutes of limitations, (e) rights to notice, (f) the benefits of statutory, regulatory, or constitutional rights, unless and to the extent the statute, regulation, or constitution explicitly allows waiver, (g) broadly or vaguely stated rights, and (h) other benefits to the extent they cannot be waived under applicable law;

3.provisions providing for forfeitures or the recovery of amounts deemed to constitute penalties, or for liquidated damages, acceleration of future amounts due (other than principal) without appropriate discount to present value, late charges, prepayment charges, interest upon interest, and increased interest rates upon default;

Annex A-3

4.time-is-of-the-essence clauses and other provisions that provide a time limitation after which a remedy may not be enforced;

5.agreements to submit to the jurisdiction of any particular court or other governmental authority (either as to personal jurisdiction or as to subject matter jurisdiction); provisions restricting access to courts; waiver of the right to jury trial; waiver of service of process requirements which would otherwise be applicable; and provisions otherwise purporting to affect the jurisdiction and venue of courts;

6.provisions purporting to limit rights of third parties who have not consented thereto or purporting to grant rights to third parties;

7.provisions or agreements regarding proxies, shareholders agreements, shareholder voting rights, voting trusts, and the like;

8.confidentiality and non-competition agreements;

9.provisions requiring the Borrower to perform its obligations under, or to cause any other Person to perform its obligations under, or stating that any action will be taken as provided in or in accordance with, any agreement or other document that is not a Loan Document;

10.provisions purporting to prohibit, restrict or condition the assignment of rights under any Loan Document to the extent such prohibition, restriction or condition is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code;

11.provisions purporting to amend or modify an agreement without strictly complying with applicable provisions of such agreement; and

12.provisions, if any, which are contrary to the public policy of any jurisdiction.

FORM OF OPINION LETTER OF ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇, ESQ., SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT,-GENERAL COUNSEL, CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER & CORPORATE SECRETARY OF THE BORROWER

[_________], 2014

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent,

and the Lenders referred to in the

Credit Agreement (as defined below)

▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Re: Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am the Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer & Corporate Secretary of Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (the “Borrower”), and, as such, I have acted as in-house counsel to the Borrower in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of [_________], 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders” and each, a “Lender”), the agents party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national banking association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement. This opinion is rendered to you pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(ii) of the Credit Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, I have examined originals or copies of the following documents:

(i) the Credit Agreement;

(ii) the Notes;

(iii) the Amended Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Borrower’s Charter”) of the Borrower, as filed with the Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs for the State of Hawaii;

(iv) the By-Laws of the Borrower (the “Borrower’s By-Laws”; and, together with the Borrower’s Charter, the “Governing Documents”);

(v) the Certificate of the Secretary of the Borrower, as of the date hereof (the “Secretary’s Certificate”), as to certain actions taken by the Board of Directors of the Borrower on [_________], 20__, as to the titles, incumbency, and specimen signatures of certain officers of the Borrower; and

(vi) a Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Director of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs of the State of Hawaii.

The documents specified in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Loan Documents”. In rendering this opinion, I have obtained such certificates and other information from public and government officials and from officers and employees of the Borrower, and have also examined such documents and corporate and other records as I have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

Based on the foregoing and subject to the other qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein and as limited thereby, and after examination of such matters of law as I have deemed relevant, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Borrower has been duly incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Hawaii and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Hawaii. To my knowledge,

B-2-1

the Borrower does not itself conduct any business or own or lease any property in any jurisdiction outside the State of Hawaii that would require it to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation and where the failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Borrower.

2. The Borrower has the corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted.

3. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents, are within the Borrower’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Borrower. The Borrower has duly executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents.

4. Each of the Loan Documents constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, by general equitable principles (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and by an implied covenant of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

5. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of each of the Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and compliance by the Borrower with the provisions thereof (i) will not conflict with or result in a breach or default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any of the provisions of the Borrower’s Governing Documents or any indenture or other material agreement or other material instrument binding upon the Borrower, except for such conflict, breach or default as to which requisite waivers or consents have been obtained, (ii) will not violate any law, statute, rule or regulation, or any judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or other tribunal, applicable to the Borrower or any of its properties or assets which in my experience, without having made any special investigations as to the applicability of any specific law, rule or regulation, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Loan Documents, and (iii) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower. No consent or approval by, or any notification of or filing with, any court, public body or authority is required to be obtained or effected by the Borrower in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of its obligations under each of the Loan Documents or the consummation by the Borrower of the transactions contemplated thereby, except for the requisite approval of the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii referred to in Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement in order to extend the term of the Credit Agreement to more than 364 days.

6. To my knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, the Borrower or any of its assets before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Borrower, except for any actions, suits or proceedings referred to in the

B-2-2

Current SEC Reports, or which in any manner draws into question the validity of the Loan Documents.

7. The Borrower is not an “investment company” nor is it controlled by an “investment company”, in each case within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following qualifications:

(a) I am a member of the Bar of the State of Hawaii and I do not hold myself out as an expert on the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Hawaii and the federal laws of the United States. This opinion is limited in all respects to matters governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii and the federal laws of the United States of America. I express no opinion concerning compliance with the laws or regulations of any other jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or as to the validity, meaning or effect of any act or document under the laws of any other jurisdiction or jurisdictions. My opinion with regard to the validity, binding nature and enforceability of each of the Loan Documents is based upon the assumptions that the laws of the State of New York govern the Loan Documents and that the laws of the State of Hawaii are the same in all relevant respects as the laws of the State of New York, and I give no opinion with respect to the enforceability of the Loan Documents to the extent that the laws of the State of New York differ from the laws of the State of Hawaii.

(b) I have relied as to matters of fact upon representations and warranties of the Borrower in the Loan Documents and upon certificates and representations of officers and employees of the Borrower and upon certificates of public and government officials as to matters set forth therein. My opinion in paragraph 1 as to the good standing of the Borrower is based solely on the Certificate of Good Standing of the Borrower attached to the Secretary’s Certificate.

(c) I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than the signatures of the officers of the Borrower), the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies (and the authenticity of the originals of such documents), the accuracy and completeness of all corporate records (which includes stock ownership records) made available to me by Borrower and the capacity of each party executing a document (other than Borrower) to so execute such document.

(d) My opinion is subject to the qualification that enforcement of any waiver and release or limitation of liability provisions in any of the Loan Documents may be limited to the extent such provisions are contrary to public policy or principles of equity under Hawaii jurisprudence, but such policy and equitable limitations do not, in my opinion, render the Loan Documents invalid as a whole or preclude the judicial enforcement of the obligation of the Borrower to repay the principal, together with interest thereon (to the extent not deemed a penalty) as provided in the Loan Documents.

(e) The remedies of specific performance, injunction and other forms of equitable relief may not be available as to the provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents to the extent they are subject to equitable defenses and the discretion of the court before which the proceedings therefor may be brought.

(f) I express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision of any of the Loan Documents (i) which requires further agreement by the parties or expressly or impliedly permits any party to take discretionary action which is arbitrary, unreasonable or capricious, or would violate any implied covenant of good faith or would be commercially unreasonable, whether or not such action is permitted according to the specific terms of any of the

B-2-3

Loan Documents, or (ii) regarding remedies available to any party for violations or breaches which are determined by a court to be nonmaterial or without substantial adverse effect upon the ability of the obligor to perform its material obligations thereunder.

(g) My opinion is subject to the qualification that any requirement in any of the Loan Documents specifying that provisions thereof may only be waived in writing may not be binding or enforceable to the extent that a non-executory oral agreement has been created modifying any provision in the Loan Documents or an implied agreement by trade practice or course of conduct has been created allowing a waiver.

(h) I express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of provisions specifying certain remedies or that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to any other right or remedy, and/or that the election of a particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others.

(i) My opinion is subject to (i) limitations on the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of provisions which a court may find unconscionable, and (ii) limitations on the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of agreements to indemnify, defend or hold harmless when the event giving rise to the obligations thereunder are caused, in whole or in part, by the actions, omissions, or negligence of the indemnitee thereunder or when the enforcement of any such agreements is against public policy.

(j) Whenever an opinion expressed herein is qualified by the phrase “to my knowledge,” “known to me,” or “nothing has come to my attention” or other phrase of similar import, such phrase is intended to mean the actual knowledge of information by the lawyers in my law department who have been principally involved in drafting the Loan Documents, but does not include other information that might be revealed if there were to be undertaken a canvass of all lawyers in the Borrower’s law department, a general search of all files or any other type of independent investigation.

This opinion is based on the laws and regulations as in effect on the date hereof and facts as I understand them as of the date hereof. I am not assuming any obligation, and do not undertake, to revise, update or supplement this opinion after the date hereof notwithstanding any change in applicable law or regulation or interpretation thereof, any amendment, supplement, modification or rescission of any document examined or relied on in connection herewith, or any change in the facts, after the date hereof.

You may rely upon this opinion only for the purpose served by the provision in the Credit Agreement cited in the initial paragraph of this opinion letter in response to which it has been delivered. Without my written consent: (i) no Person other than you (and your permitted assignees under the Credit Agreement) may rely on this opinion letter for any purpose; (ii) this opinion letter may not be cited or quoted in any financial statement, prospectus, private placement memorandum or other similar document; (iii) this opinion letter may not be cited or quoted in any other document or communication which might encourage reliance upon this opinion letter by any Person or for any purpose excluded by the restrictions in this paragraph; and (iv) copies of this opinion letter may not be furnished to anyone for purposes of encouraging such reliance.

Very truly yours,
