PART I

Item 1. Business

General

Bank of Hawaii Corporation (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation and a bank holding company ("BHC").

The Company's banking subsidiary, Bank of Hawaii (the "Bank"), was organized under the laws of Hawaii on December 17, 1897 and has its headquarters in Honolulu, Hawaii. Its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The only other direct subsidiary of the Company is Bancorp Hawaii Capital Trust I, a grantor trust organized to effect a financing transaction.

Through the Bank, the Company provides a range of financial services and products primarily in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands (Guam and nearby islands and American Samoa). The Bank's subsidiaries include Bank of Hawaii Leasing, Inc., Bankoh Investment Services, Inc., Pacific Century Life Insurance Corporation, Triad Insurance Agency, Inc., Bank of Hawaii Insurance Services, Inc., Pacific Century Insurance Services, Inc., Bankoh Investment Partners, LLC and Bank of Hawaii International, Inc. The Bank's subsidiaries are engaged in equipment leasing, securities brokerage and investment services, and insurance and insurance agency services.

The Company is aligned into the following business segments: Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, Investment Services Group and Treasury and Other Corporate. Financial and other additional information about the Company's business segments are presented in Table 5 of the Business Segments section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") and Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, which is incorporated by reference in this Item.

Information on foreign activities is presented in Table 9 of MD&A, which is incorporated by reference in this Item.

The Company's annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports can be found free of charge on its internet site at http://www.boh.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The SEC maintains an internet site, http://www.sec.gov, that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines; the charters of the Audit Committee, the Executive and Strategic Planning Committee, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are available on the Company's website. Upon written request to the Corporate Secretary at 130 Merchant Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, 96813, the information is available in print to any shareholder.

The Company included the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer certifications regarding the Company's public disclosure required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 of this report. Additionally, the Company filed with the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") the Chief Executive Officer certification regarding the Company's compliance with the NYSE's Corporate Governance Listing Standards (the "Listing Standards") pursuant to Section 303A.12(a) of the Listing Standards. The certification was dated May 26, 2005 and indicated that the Chief Executive Officer was not aware of any violations of the Listing Standards by the Company.

Competition

The Company, the Bank and its subsidiaries are subject to substantial competition from banks, savings associations, credit unions, mortgage companies, finance companies, mutual funds, brokerage firms, insurance companies and other providers of financial services, including financial service subsidiaries of commercial and manufacturing

2



companies. The Company also competes with certain non-financial institutions and governmental entities that offer financial products and services. Some of the Company's competitors are not subject to the same level of regulation and oversight that is required of banks and BHCs.

Supervision and Regulation

The Company and the Bank are each extensively regulated under both federal and state law. The following information describes certain aspects of those regulations applicable to the Company and the Bank and does not purport to be complete. To the extent statutory or regulatory provisions are described, the description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory or regulatory provisions. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the banking industry are frequently raised in Congress, in state legislatures and before the various bank regulatory agencies. The likelihood and timing of any changes and the impact such changes might have on the Company or the Bank are impossible to determine with any certainty. A change in applicable laws or regulations, or a change in the way such laws or regulations are interpreted by regulatory agencies or courts, may have a material impact on the business, operations and earnings of the Company and the Bank.

The Company

The Company is registered as a BHC under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"), and is subject to the supervision of and to examinations by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB"). The Company is also registered as a financial institution holding company under the Hawaii Code of Financial Institutions (the "Code") and is subject to the registration, reporting and examination requirements of the Code.

The BHC Act prohibits, with certain exceptions, a BHC from acquiring beneficial ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company, including a bank, without the FRB's prior approval and from engaging in any activity other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or other subsidiaries authorized under the BHC Act, or furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries. Among the permitted activities is the ownership of shares of any company the activities of which the FRB determines to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

Under FRB policy, a BHC is expected to serve as a source of financial and management strength to its subsidiary bank(s) and to commit resources to support its subsidiary bank(s) in circumstances where it might not do so absent such a policy. This support may be required at times when the BHC may not have the resources to provide it. Under this policy, a BHC is expected to stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary bank(s) during periods of financial adversity and to maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary bank(s).

Subject to certain limits, under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act ("Riegle-Neal"), an adequately capitalized and adequately managed BHC may acquire control of banks in any state. An interstate acquisition may not be approved if immediately following the acquisition the BHC would control 30% or more of the total FDIC-insured deposits in that state (or such lesser or greater amount set by the state), unless the acquisition is the BHCs initial entry into the state. An adequately capitalized and adequately managed bank may apply for permission to merge with an out-of-state bank and convert all branches of both parties into branches of a single bank. An interstate bank merger may not be approved, if immediately following the acquisition, the acquirer would control 30% or more of the total FDIC-insured deposits in that state (or such lesser or greater amount set by the state), unless the acquisition is the acquirer's initial entry into the state. Banks are also permitted to open newly established branches in any state in which it does not already have banking branches if such state enacts a law permitting such de novo branching.

In addition, under provisions of the Code enacted to authorize interstate branching under Riegle-Neal, out-of-state banks may engage in mergers with Hawaii banks or acquisitions of substantially all of their assets, following which any such out-of-state bank may operate the branches of the Hawaii bank it has acquired. The Hawaii Commissioner of

3



Financial Institutions is authorized to waive the federal limit on concentration of FDIC-insured deposits. This statute also permits out-of-state banks to acquire branches of Hawaii banks and to open branches in Hawaii on a de novo basis.

Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, a BHC may elect to become a financial holding company and thereby engage in a broader range of financial and other activities than are permissible for traditional BHCs. In order to qualify for the election, all of the depository institution subsidiaries of the BHC must be well capitalized and well managed and all of its insured depository institution subsidiaries must have achieved a rating of "satisfactory" or better under the Community Reinvestment Act (the "CRA"). Financial holding companies are permitted to engage in activities that are "financial in nature" or incidental or complementary thereto as determined by the FRB. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act identifies several activities as "financial in nature," including, among others, insurance underwriting and sales, investment advisory services, merchant banking and underwriting and dealing or making a market in securities. The Company has not elected to become a financial holding company.

Bank of Hawaii

The Bank is subject to supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the State of Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Division of Financial Institutions. Depository institutions, including the Bank, are subject to extensive federal and state regulation that significantly affect their business and activities. Regulatory bodies have broad authority to implement standards and to initiate proceedings designed to prohibit depository institutions from engaging in activities that represent unsafe and unsound banking practices or constitute violations of applicable laws, rules, regulations, administrative orders or written agreements with regulators. The standards relate generally to operations and management, asset quality, interest rate exposure, capital and executive compensation. The agencies are authorized to take action against institutions that fail to meet such standards, including the assessment of civil money penalties, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders and other actions.

Bankoh Investment Services, Inc., the broker dealer subsidiary of the Bank, is regulated by the National Association of Securities Dealers. The insurance subsidiaries, Bank of Hawaii Insurance Services, Inc., Triad Insurance Agency, Inc. and Pacific Century Insurance Services, Inc., are incorporated in Hawaii and are therefore regulated by the Hawaii State Department of Insurance. Pacific Century Life Insurance Corporation is incorporated in Arizona and regulated by the Insurance Department of Arizona.

Capital Requirements

The Federal Reserve Board has issued substantially similar risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to BHCs and banks that they supervise. Under the risk-based capital requirements, the Company and the Bank are generally required individually to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%. At least half of the total capital is to be composed of common equity, retained earnings and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less certain intangibles ("Tier 1 capital"). The remainder may consist of certain subordinated debt, certain hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying preferred stock, and a limited amount of the loan loss allowance ("Tier 2 capital") and, together with Tier 1 capital, equals total capital ("Total capital"). Risk weighted assets are calculated by taking assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance-sheet items and assigning them to one of several broad risk categories, according to the obligor, or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of the collateral. The aggregate dollar value of the amount in each category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. At December 31, 2005, the Company's Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios to total risk-weighted assets were 10.36% and 12.70%, respectively, and the ratios of Tier 1 capital and Total capital to total risk-weighted assets for the Bank were 10.06% and 12.38%, respectively.

In addition, each of the federal bank regulatory agencies has established minimum leverage capital ratio requirements for BHCs and banks. These requirements provide for a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets equal to 3% for BHCs and banks that meet certain specified criteria, including that they have the highest regulatory rating and are not experiencing significant growth or expansion. All other BHCs and banks will generally

4



be required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 100 to 200 basis points above the stated minimum. The Company's leverage ratio at December 31, 2005 was 7.14% and the Bank's leverage ratio was 6.94%.

The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital standards identifies concentrations of credit risk and the risk arising from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution's ability to manage these risks, as important factors to be taken into account by the agency in assessing an institution's overall capital adequacy. The capital guidelines also provide that an institution's exposure to a decline in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates be considered by the agency as a factor in evaluating a bank's capital adequacy. The Federal Reserve Board also has issued additional capital guidelines for certain BHCs that engage in trading activities. The Company does not believe that consideration of these additional factors will affect the regulator's assessment of the Company's or the Bank's capital position.

Dividend Restrictions

The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. The Company's principal source of funds to pay dividends on its common stock and to service its debt is dividends from the Bank. Various federal and state statutory provisions and regulations limit the amount of dividends the Bank may pay to the Company without regulatory approval, including requirements to maintain capital above regulatory minimums. The FRB is authorized to determine the circumstances when the payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice and to prohibit such payments. The right of the Company, its stockholders and creditors to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of its subsidiaries also is subject to the prior claims of creditors of those subsidiaries.

For information regarding the limitations on Bank dividends, see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in this Item. Currently, the Bank has the requisite regulatory approval to pay dividends up to the amount of the Bank's income for 2006, subject to the absence of any material adverse change in the Bank's financial condition.

Transactions with Affiliates

The Bank is subject to restrictions under federal law that limit the transfer of funds or other items of value to the Company and any other non-bank affiliates in so-called "covered transactions." In general, covered transactions include loans and other extensions of credit, investments and asset purchases, as well as other transactions involving the transfer of value from the Bank to an affiliate or for the benefit of an affiliate. Unless an exemption applies, covered transactions by the Bank with a single affiliate are limited to 10% of the Bank's capital and surplus and, with respect to all covered transactions with affiliates in the aggregate, to 20% of the Bank's capital and surplus.

FDIC Insurance

The Bank's deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the FDIC. As an FDIC-insured bank, the Bank also is subject to FDIC insurance assessments. Currently, the amount of FDIC assessments paid by individual insured depository institutions ranges from zero to $0.27 per $100.00 of insured deposits, based on their relative risk to the deposit insurance funds, as measured by the institutions' regulatory capital position and other supervisory factors. The Bank currently pays the lowest premium rate, which is zero, based upon this risk assessment. However, the FDIC retains the ability to increase regular assessments and to levy special additional assessments.

In addition to deposit insurance fund assessments, beginning in 1997 the FDIC assessed BIF-assessable and Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")-assessable deposits to fund the repayment of debt obligations of the Financing Corporation ("FICO"). FICO is a government-sponsored entity that was formed to borrow the money necessary to carry out the closing and ultimate disposition of failed thrift institutions by the Resolution Trust Corporation. At December 31, 2005, the annualized rate established by the FDIC for both BIF-assessable and SAIF-assessable deposits was 1.32 basis points (hundredths of 1%).

5



On February 1, 2006, the FDIC Reform Act of 2005 was adopted by Congress. This legislation, will merge BIF and SAIF into one fund, increase insurance coverage for retirement accounts to $250,000 and index the insurance levels for inflation, among other changes.

Under federal law, deposits and certain claims for administrative expenses and employee compensation against insured depository institutions are afforded a priority over other general unsecured claims against such an institution, including federal funds and letters of credit, in the liquidation or other resolution of such an institution by any receiver appointed by regulatory authorities. Such priority creditors would include the FDIC.

Other Safety and Soundness Regulations

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") the federal banking agencies possess broad powers to take prompt corrective action to resolve problems of insured depository institutions. The extent of these powers depends upon whether the institution in question is "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," or "critically undercapitalized," as defined by the law. Under regulations established by the federal banking agencies, a "well capitalized" institution must have a Total capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6% and a leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be subject to a capital directive order. An "adequately capitalized" institution must have a Total capital ratio of at least 8%, a Tier 1 capital ratio and leverage ratio of at least 4%. As of December 31, 2005, the Bank was classified as "well capitalized." The classification of depository institutions is primarily for the purpose of applying the federal banking agencies' prompt corrective action provisions and is not intended to be, and should not be, interpreted as a representation of overall financial condition or prospects of any financial institution.

The federal banking agencies' prompt corrective action powers (which increase depending upon the degree to which an institution is undercapitalized) can include, among other things, requiring an insured depository institution to adopt a capital restoration plan which cannot be approved unless guaranteed by the institution's parent company; placing limits on asset growth and restrictions on activities; including restrictions on transactions with affiliates; restricting the interest rates the institution may pay on deposits; prohibiting the payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; prohibiting the holding company from making capital distributions without prior regulatory approval and, ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution. Among other things, only a "well capitalized" depository institution may accept brokered deposits without prior regulatory approval.

As required by FDICIA, the federal banking agencies also have adopted guidelines prescribing safety and soundness standards relating to internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, and compensation fees and benefits. In general, the guidelines require, among other things, appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risks and exposures specified in the guidelines. The guidelines prohibit excessive compensation as an unsafe and unsound practice and describe compensation as excessive when the amounts paid are unreasonable or disproportionate to the services performed by an executive officer, employee, director or principal stockholder. In addition, the agencies adopted regulations that authorize, but do not require, an agency to order an institution that has been given notice by an agency that it is not in compliance with any of such safety and soundness standards to submit a compliance plan. If, after being so notified, an institution fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan, the agency must issue an order directing action to correct the deficiency and may issue an order directing other actions of the types to which an undercapitalized institution is subject under the prompt corrective action provisions described above.

Community Reinvestment and Consumer Protection Laws

In connection with its lending activities, the Bank is subject to a number of federal laws designed to protect borrowers and promote lending to various sectors of the economy and population. These include the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and the CRA.

6



The CRA requires the appropriate federal banking agency, in connection with its examination of a bank, to assess the bank's record in meeting the credit needs of the communities served by the bank, including low-and moderate-income neighborhoods. Furthermore, such assessment also is required of any bank that has applied, among other things, to merge or consolidate with or acquire the assets or assume the liabilities of an insured depository institution, or to open or relocate a branch office. In the case of a BHC (including a financial holding company) applying for approval to acquire a bank or BHC, the Federal Reserve Board will assess the record of each subsidiary bank of the applicant BHC in considering the application. Under the CRA, institutions are assigned a rating of "outstanding," "satisfactory," "needs to improve" or "substantial non-compliance." The Bank was rated outstanding in its most recent CRA evaluation.

Bank Secrecy Act / Anti-Money Laundering Laws

The Bank is subject to the Bank Secrecy Act and its implementing regulations and other anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001. Among other things, these laws and regulations require the Bank to take steps to prevent the use of the Bank for facilitating the flow of illegal or illicit money, to report large currency transactions, to file suspicious activity reports and to implement appropriate compliance programs, training, risk assessments and "know your customer" programs. Violations of these requirements can result in substantial civil and criminal sanctions. In addition, provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act require the federal financial institution regulatory agencies to consider the effectiveness of a financial institution's anti-money laundering activities when reviewing bank mergers and BHC acquisitions.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 comprehensively revised the laws affecting corporate governance, accounting obligations and corporate reporting for companies, such as the Company, with equity or debt securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). In particular, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act established: 1) new requirements for audit committees, including independence, expertise, and responsibilities; 2) requirements with respect to the establishment and evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, and the audit of internal control over financial reporting; 3) additional responsibilities regarding financial statements for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the reporting company with respect to financial statements and other information included in Exchange Act reports; 4) new standards for auditors and regulation of audits; 5) increased disclosure and reporting obligations for the reporting company and its directors and executive officers; and 6) new and increased civil and criminal penalties for violations of the securities laws.

Employees

At January 31, 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries had approximately 2,600 employees.


Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control that could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. The Company describes below some of these risks and uncertainties.

Changes in the Hawaii and island market economies could adversely impact the Company.

The Company's business is closely tied to the economies of Hawaii and its other island markets, which are heavily influenced by tourism, government and other service-based industries. A sustained economic downturn could adversely affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

7



Changes in interest rates could adversely impact the Company.

The Company's earnings are highly dependent on the spread between the interest earned on loans and investments and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Changes in market interest rates impact the rates earned on loans and investment securities and the rates paid on deposits and borrowings. In addition, changes to the market interest rates could impact the level of loans, deposits and investments, and the credit profile of existing loans. These rates may be affected by many factors beyond the Company's control, including general and economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. Changes in interest rates may negatively impact the Company's ability to attract deposits, make loans and achieve satisfactory interest rate spreads which could adversely affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

The Company's reserve for credit losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses.

The risk of nonpayment of loans is inherent in all lending activities, and nonpayment, if it occurs, may have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operation. The Company maintains a Reserve for Credit Losses (the "Reserve") to absorb estimated probable credit losses inherent in the loan and commitment portfolios as of the balance sheet date. In determining the level of the Reserve, management makes various assumptions and judgments about the loan portfolio. If the Company's assumptions are incorrect, the Reserve may not be sufficient to cover losses which could adversely affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Many of the Company's loans are secured by real estate in Hawaii and Guam. If these locations experience an economic downturn that impacted real estate values and customers' ability to repay, loan losses could exceed the estimates that are currently included in the Reserve.

The Company is subject to extensive regulation.

The Company's operations are subject to extensive regulation by federal and state governmental authorities which impose requirements and restrictions on the Company's operations. The impact of changes to laws and regulations or other actions by regulatory agencies could make regulatory compliance more difficult or expensive for the Company and could adversely affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Competition may adversely affect the Company's business.

The Company faces competition for its services from a variety of competitors. The Company's future growth and success depends on its ability to compete effectively. The Company competes for deposits, loans and other financial services with numerous banks, thrifts, credit unions, mortgage companies, broker dealers, and insurance companies that are based in and out of Hawaii. The financial services industry is also likely to become more competitive as further technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services, this could adversely affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

The Parent's liquidity is dependent on dividends from the Bank.

The Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Parent is limited by various statutes and regulations. It is possible, depending upon the financial condition of the Bank and other factors, that the Federal Reserve Board could assert that payment of dividends from the Bank to the Parent is an unsafe or unsound practice. In the event the Bank was unable to pay dividends to the Parent, dividends on the Company's common stock could be jeopardized. The Company's failure to pay dividends or a reduction in the dividend rate could have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Company's common stock.

8



An interruption or breach in security of the Company's information systems may result in a loss of customers.

The Company relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business. In addition, the Company depends, to a significant extent, on several third party service providers. Third parties provide key components of the Company's infrastructure including loan, deposit and general ledger processing, internet connections and network access. Any disruption in service of these key components could adversely affect the Company's ability to deliver products and services to its customers and otherwise to conduct its business. Further, any security breach of the Company's information systems or data, whether managed by the Company or by third parties, could harm the Company's reputation, cause a decrease in the number of customers, and adversely affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Additional risks and uncertainties could have a negative effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Such factors include, but are not limited to: new litigation or changes in existing litigation, claims and assessments; environmental liabilities, asset impairments; real or threatened acts of war or terrorist activity, adverse weather, public health; changes in accounting standards, taxing authority interpretations; and an inability on the Company's part to retain and attract skilled people.


Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Not Applicable.


Item 2. Properties

The principal offices of the Company and each of its business segments are located in the Financial Plaza of the Pacific in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Company and its subsidiaries own and lease other premises, consisting of branch offices and operating facilities located in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands which are primarily used by the Retail Banking and Commercial Banking business segments.


Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings arising from normal business activities. In the opinion of management, after reviewing these proceedings with counsel, the aggregate liability, if any, resulting from these proceedings is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of 2005 to a vote of security holders through solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements concerning, among other things, the economic and business environment in the Company's service area and elsewhere, credit quality, anticipated net income and other financial and business matters in future periods. The Company's forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions, any of which could prove to be inaccurate and actual results may differ materially from those projected because of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: 1) unanticipated changes in business and economic conditions, the competitive environment, fiscal and monetary policies, taxing authority interpretations, legislation in Hawaii and the other markets the Company serves, or the timing and interpretation of proposed accounting standards; 2) changes in the Company's credit quality or risk profile that may increase or decrease the required level of reserve for credit losses; 3) changes in market interest rates that may affect the Company's credit markets and ability to maintain its net interest margin; 4) unpredictable costs and other consequences of legal or regulatory matters involving the Company; 5) changes to the amount and timing of the Company's proposed equity repurchases; 6) real or threatened acts of war or terrorist activity affecting business conditions; and 7) adverse weather, public health and other natural conditions impacting the Company and its customers' operations. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included under the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Part 1 of this report. Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "targeted" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not exclusive means of identifying such statements. The Company does not undertake an obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect later events or circumstances.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in this Item. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Critical accounting estimates are defined as those that require assumptions or judgments to be made based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates. Those policies have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than reported if there is a change to any of the estimates, assumptions or judgments made by management. Based on the potential impact to the financial statements of the valuation methods, estimates, assumptions and judgments used, management identified the determination of the reserve for credit losses, the valuation of mortgage servicing rights, the valuation of leased asset residuals and the valuation of pension and postretirement obligations to be the accounting estimates that are the most subjective and/or judgmental.

Reserve for Credit Losses

A consequence of lending activities is that losses may be experienced. The amount of such losses will vary from time to time depending upon the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio as affected by economic conditions, including rising interest rates, and the financial performance of borrowers. The Company maintains a Reserve which consists of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses ("Allowance") and a Reserve for Unfunded Commitments ("Unfunded Reserve"). The Reserve provides for the risk of credit losses inherent in the credit extension process and is based on a range of loss estimates derived from a comprehensive quarterly evaluation, reflecting analyses of individual borrowers and historical loss experience, supplemented as necessary by credit judgment to address observed changes in trends, conditions, and other relevant environmental and economic factors. The Allowance and the Unfunded Reserve are both increased and decreased through the provisioning process. The adequacy of the Allowance and the Unfunded Reserve is based on a range of inherent loss estimates derived from a comprehensive quarterly analysis of historical loss experience, plus an amount for credit management judgment reflecting the evaluation of the impact of

13



environmental factors on portfolio performance, plus an amount for imprecision of estimates. There is no exact method of predicting specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged off on particular segments of the loan portfolio. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in this Item, describes the methodologies used to develop the Reserve.

The determination of the amount of the Reserve is a critical accounting estimate as it requires the use of estimates and significant judgment related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated loss rates on homogenous portfolios and deliberation on economic factors and trends. There is no exact method of predicting specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged-off on particular segments of the loan portfolio. Each quarter, senior-level committees approve specific credit and reserve-related activities. Also each quarter, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews and approves the Reserve prior to final affirmation by the Board of Directors.

Mortgage Servicing Rights Valuation

When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, a servicing asset is established and accounted for based on estimated fair values. Once mortgage servicing rights have been recorded, they must be periodically evaluated for impairment. Impairment occurs when the current estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights is less than the book value. The current estimated fair value is determined using discounted cash flow modeling techniques, which require management to make estimates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, loan repayment rates, costs to service and interest rates that reflect the risk involved. The value of these assets is sensitive to changes in the estimates and assumptions made. Had the Company assumed that interest rates would decrease and prepayment rates increase, then the value of the mortgage servicing rights could have been lower. Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which includes further discussion on the accounting for these assets and a sensitivity analysis, is incorporated by reference in this Item.

Residual Valuation of Leased Assets

Lease financing receivables include a residual value component, which represents the estimated value of leased assets upon lease expiration. The determination of expected value at lease termination is derived from a variety of sources, including equipment valuation services, appraisals and publicly available market data on recent sales transactions on similar equipment. The length of time until termination, the cyclical nature of equipment values and the limited marketplace for re-sale for certain leased assets are important variables considered in making this determination. The Company updates its valuation analysis on an annual basis, or more often when events or circumstances warrant. When it is determined that a residual value is higher than the expected fair market value at lease expiration, the difference is recorded as an asset impairment in the period in which the analysis was completed. The Company is unable to predict future events or conditions that could result in future asset impairments. Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements includes further discussion on the accounting for these assets and is incorporated by reference in this Item.

Pension and Postretirement Plans

The Company's pension and postretirement obligations and net periodic cost are actuarially determined based on the following key assumptions: discount rate, estimated future return on plan assets, and the health care cost trend rate. The determination of the pension and postretirement obligations and net periodic cost is a critical accounting estimate as it requires the use of estimates and judgment related to the amount and timing of expected future cash out-flows for benefit payments and cash in-flows for maturities and returns on investments, mortality rates, future health care cost and other factors, and changes in any or all of the underlying estimates, factors or assumptions could have a material impact to the financial statements. The discount rate is used to determine the present value of future benefit obligations and the net periodic cost. The discount rate used to value the future benefit obligation as of each year-end is the rate used to determine the periodic expense in the next year. The discount rate of 5.75% used for the December 31, 2005 valuations was determined based on match-funding maturities and interest payments on corporate bonds available in the market place to projected cash flows for future benefit payments. In determining the net periodic cost,

14



the Company lowered the discount rate to 6.00% in 2005 from 6.25% used in 2004 and 6.75% used in 2003, reflecting the decline in market interest rates during these periods. The estimated return on plan assets of 8.5% was based on historical trends and a building block approach taking into account the type of investments in the pension plan. The health care cost trend rate for 2005 was 9% and will decrease by 1% annually until reaching the ultimate trend rate of 5% in 2009. A 25 basis point decrease in the discount rate would have increased the total pension and postretirement net periodic cost in 2005 by approximately $0.3 million and the benefit obligations at December 31, 2005 by $4.1 million. A 25 basis point increase in the discount rate would have decreased the total pension and postretirement net periodic cost in 2005 by approximately $0.3 million and the benefit obligations at December 31, 2005 by $3.9 million. A 1% change in the health care cost trend rate would have changed the 2005 net periodic postretirement cost by approximately $0.4 million.

The estimated pension and postretirement net periodic cost for 2006 is $5.0 million based on a discount rate of 5.75%. A 25 basis point decrease in the discount rate would increase the total pension and postretirement net periodic cost by approximately $0.3 million. Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements includes further discussion on the accounting for these plans and is incorporated by reference in this Item.

Overview

The Company is entering the final year of its 2004-2006 plan (the "Plan"), which continues to build on the governing objective of maximizing shareholder value over time.

The Plan consists of five key elements:

During 2005 the Company continued to meet the key financial objectives of the Plan. Results for 2005 compared to 2004 included the following components:

15


The Company's overall financial results are more fully discussed in the following sections of this report.

Analysis of Statement of Income

Certain 2004 and 2003 information has been reclassified to conform to 2005 presentation.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis increased $16.5 million or 4.2% from 2004. The increase in net interest income was largely a result of higher income earned on the loan and investment securities portfolios. The investment securities portfolio, which consists primarily of mortgage-backed securities, experienced an increase in interest income due to higher yields on securities acquired and a reduction in prepayments. Interest income from loans increased from 2004 as a result of higher yields earned, which was consistent with increases in benchmark interest rates (e.g. prime), and higher average balances. The average balance of commercial and industrial loans increased 14% from 2004 as a result of continued new loan growth while home equity loans increased 32% during the year.

Partially offsetting these increases in interest income was a rise in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and short-term borrowings, as a result of increases in short-term interest rates during the year.

The net interest margin was 4.37% in 2005, a five basis points increase from 2004. The improvement in the margin was attributable to the increase in the average yield earned on the loan and investment securities portfolio in 2005, partially offset by the rise in the Company's cost of funds.

In 2004, the net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis increased $24.7 million or 6.7% from 2003. The increase in net interest income was due to higher income earned on the investment securities portfolio, resulting from reduction in prepayments in 2004, and lower expense paid on interest-bearing deposits. The increase in investment securities portfolio was partially offset by a decrease in interest income on loans. Interest income on loans decreased mainly due to the lower income earned on mortgage loans as a result of lower yields in 2004 compared to 2003. The decline in interest expense from interest-bearing deposits was mainly due to lower average rates paid on savings and time deposits.

The net interest margin was 4.32% in 2004, a nine basis points increase from 2003. The improvement in the margin was attributable to the improvement in the average yield earned on the investment securities portfolio and a 23 basis point decline in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits, primarily savings and time deposits which lowered the Company's cost of funds.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Provision for Credit Losses (the "Provision") reflects management's judgment of the adequacy of the Allowance and the Unfunded Reserve. It is determined through detailed quarterly analytical reviews of the loan and commitment portfolios. In 2005, the Company recorded a Provision of $4.6 million whereas, in 2004, the Company returned $10.0 million to income from a release from the Allowance. The Provision is based on the levels of net loan charge-offs, changes in the economic environment during the period, as well as management's ongoing assessment of the credit quality and growth of the loan portfolio. For information on the Allowance, refer to the "Corporate Risk Profile – Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses" section of this report.

Based on current conditions, the Company estimates a $17.0 million Provision for 2006. However, the actual amount of the Provision is determined based upon analysis performed each quarter.

Trust and asset management income is comprised of fees earned for the management and administration of assets. The fees are generally based on the market value of the assets that are managed. Total assets under administration were $12.5 billion, $11.5 billion and $10.0 billion (adjusted for sale of corporate trust business in the first quarter of 2004) at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in trust and asset management income in 2005 from 2004 is consistent with the increase in equity markets which led to an increase in the Company's average market value of assets under management. In addition, trust and asset management income increased due to higher advisory fees on money market assets.

Mortgage banking income is comprised primarily of gains from sales of loans and net servicing income. Net servicing income is income earned for servicing loans less the amortization of mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage banking income is highly influenced by the level and direction of mortgage interest rates. Mortgage banking income increased in 2005 as compared to 2004 largely as a result of a decline in the amortization of servicing rights attributable to a decrease in prepayments. Mortgage loan production volume (approximately $1.0 billion) was consistent with 2004. Mortgage banking income declined in 2004 as compared to 2003 largely as a result of a 50% decrease in mortgage loan production. Mortgage interest rates hit record lows in 2003, which led to a record year for production. The decreased production volume in 2004 combined with competitive sales margins and a change in the mix of production to more variable rate loans led to lower gains on sale of loans. Gains from the sale of loans declined $13.2 million and other fees declined $2.9 million in 2004 from 2003. However, the decline in re-financings benefited the Company as loan prepayments declined by 68% resulting in an increase in net servicing income of 87%.

Fees, exchange and other service charges are primarily comprised of merchant service activity, fees from ATMs and other loan fees and service charges. Merchant service activity experienced growth in each period as a result of increased tourism levels in Hawaii during 2005. In 2003, a $3.0 million prepayment fee on a commercial real estate loan was recognized.

n.m. – not meaningful.

Total salaries and benefits declined in both 2005 and 2004 compared to the respective preceding year, however, components have varied each year. The decrease in 2005 was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense associated with restricted stock units and lower base salaries as a result of a decline in the number of employees. The average number of employees declined 3% in both 2005 and 2004 compared to the respective preceding year. Offsetting the decline in base salaries in 2005 was an increase in retirement and other benefits due to increased expense for actuarial determined benefits as a result of changes in the discount rate. Total salaries and benefits declined in 2004 compared to 2003 due to decreases in salaries and commission expense, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense. Consistent with the trends in mortgage banking income, commission expense increased by $0.4 million in 2005 and declined $3.1 million in 2004 from the increased level in 2003. In 2003, the Company recognized a $2.5 million curtailment gain on its post retirement benefits due to the termination of life insurance benefits. The Company also recognized expense for its frozen defined benefit plan in 2005 and 2004.

Professional fees increased in 2005 primarily due to legal fees and other expenses resulting from the now resolved SEC investigation related to alleged market timing and/or excessive trading in a mutual fund family to which the Bank serves as a registered investment adviser. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the SEC terminated its investigation and decided not to recommend enforcement action. The increased legal fees in 2005 were partially offset by decreases in other professional fees due to lower consulting fees. The increase in professional fees in 2004 from 2003 was mainly due to added professional services relating to the Company's mutual fund business and an increase in audit fees.

Other expense increased in 2005 primarily as a result of a goodwill impairment charge of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2005 relating to the Bank's insurance business. Other expense increased in 2004 from 2003 due to a legal settlement accrual of $2.2 million. In 2003, other expenses were reduced due to a $2.5 million gain on the sale of foreclosed real estate and a gain on the transfer of an affinity mileage program.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes reflected an effective tax rate of 36.11% in 2005 and 36.09% in 2004, compared to an effective rate of 34.62% in 2003. For additional information regarding tax expense, including a reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory tax rate, refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in this Item.

Business Segments

The Company's business segments are defined as Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, Investment Services Group and Treasury and Other Corporate. The Company's internal management accounting process measures the performance of the business segments based on the management structure of the Company. This process, which is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution, uses various techniques to assign balance sheet and income statement amounts to the business segments, including allocations of interest income, expense overhead, the Provision and capital. This process is dynamic and requires certain allocations based on judgment and subjective factors. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for management accounting that is equivalent to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Previously reported results have been reclassified to conform to the current organizational reporting structure.

The Company evaluates several performance measures of the business segments, the most important of which are net income after capital charge ("NIACC") and risk adjusted return on capital ("RAROC"). NIACC is economic net income less a charge for the cost of allocated capital. The cost of allocated capital is determined by multiplying management's estimate of a shareholder's minimum required rate of return on the cost of capital invested (currently 11%) by the segment's allocated equity. The Company assumes a cost of capital that is equal to a risk-free rate plus a risk premium. RAROC is the ratio of economic net income to risk-adjusted equity. Equity is allocated to each business segment based on an assessment of its inherent risk. The net interest income of the business segments reflects the results of a funds transfer pricing process that matches assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics and reflects the allocation of net interest income related to the Company's overall asset and liability management activities on a proportionate basis. The basis for the allocation of net interest income is a function of management decisions and assumptions that are subject to change based on changes in current interest rate and market conditions. Funds transfer pricing also serves to transfer interest rate risk to the Treasury segment. However, the other business segments have some latitude to retain certain interest rate exposures related to customer pricing decisions within guidelines. The Provision recorded in the Retail Banking, Commercial Banking and Investment Services Group segments represents actual net charge-offs of these segments. The Provision charged to the Treasury and Other Corporate segment represents residual changes in the level of the Reserve. The business segments are charged an economic provision which is a statistically derived estimate of average annual expected credit losses over an economic cycle.

On a consolidated basis, the Company considers NIACC a measure of shareholder value creation. For the year ended December 31, 2005, consolidated NIACC was $89.1 million, compared to $67.6 million in 2004, a result of improved financial performance and more efficient use of capital.

Financial results for each of the segments are presented in Table 5 and Note 17 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in this Item.

Retail Banking

The Company's Retail Banking segment offers a broad range of financial products and services to consumers and small businesses. Loan and lease products include residential mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, automobile loans and leases and installment loans. Deposit products include checking, savings and time deposit accounts. The Retail Banking segment also provides merchant services to its small business customers. Products and services from the Retail Banking segment are delivered to customers through 72 Hawaii branch locations, over 500 ATMs, e-Bankoh (on-line banking service) and a 24-hour telephone banking service. Also included in the segment is Bankoh Investment Services, Inc., a full service brokerage offering equities and bonds, mutual funds, life insurance and annuity products.

The increase in the Retail Banking financial measures from 2004 to 2005 was primarily due to higher net interest income and non-interest income. The increase in net interest income was the result of higher earnings credit on the

22



funds transfer pricing of the segment's deposit portfolio as well as increased loan and deposit balances. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to improved application of fee schedules and growth in the number of deposit accounts, along with increased mortgage banking income. Non-interest expense in 2005 remained relatively flat as compared to 2004. The increase in the Provision was primarily due to increased charge-offs in the segment's growing loan portfolios.

The Retail Banking segment's financial measures in 2004 remained relatively consistent with 2003. Net interest income and non-interest income declined and were partially offset by a decrease in non-interest expense. The decrease in net interest income was mainly a result of lower earnings credit from funds transfer pricing on the segment's deposit account balances, reflective of the lower interest rate environment. During 2004, the segment experienced steady growth in its indirect auto, direct personal and home equity portfolios, partially offsetting the effect of the lower earnings credit on deposit accounts. The decrease in non-interest income primarily resulted from lower gains on the sale of mortgage loans due to lower production and related sales volume and competitive market conditions. The segment's decrease in non-interest expense was primarily due to reductions in technology and operations support, depreciation and software costs attributable to the Systems Replacement Project. The increase in the Provision was primarily due to increased charge-offs in the segment's growing loan portfolios.

Commercial Banking

The Commercial Banking segment offers products including corporate banking and commercial real estate loans, lease financing, auto dealer financing, deposit and cash management products and property and casualty insurance products. Lending, deposit and cash management services are offered to middle-market and large companies in Hawaii. Commercial real estate mortgages are focused on customers that include investors, developers and builders primarily domiciled in Hawaii. The Commercial Banking unit also includes the Company's operations at its 12 branches in the Pacific Islands.

The improvement in the segment's financial measures for 2005 compared with 2004 was due to an increase in net-interest income and a decrease in non-interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income. The increase in net-interest income was primarily due to higher deposit balances and the related earnings credit from funds transfer pricing. The decrease in non-interest income was due to large non-recurring transactions that resulted in higher gains in 2004. The reduction in non-interest expense was due to a gain realized on the sale of foreclosed assets in the first quarter of 2005 and lower salaries expense. Reductions in operating risk and the further refinement of credit risk factors resulted in a lower charge for capital. The increase in Provision over 2004 was primarily the result of a leveraged lease charge-off in relation to the bankruptcy of a major airline carrier.

The improvement in the segment's financial measures for 2004 compared with 2003 was primarily due to an increase in non-interest income and a decrease in capital charge, partially offset by a decrease in net interest income. The increase in non-interest income was a result of a gain on the sale of assets at the end of a leveraged lease transaction, a leasing partnership investment distribution and increased insurance income. This was offset by a decrease in net interest income due to a decrease in the earnings credit from funds transfer pricing on the segment's deposit account balances, reflective of lower interest rates. Total non-interest expense declined in 2004 from 2003 because of decreases in salaries and lower allocated expenses from support units within the Company. The charge for capital decreased because of the refinement of credit risk factors.

Investment Services Group

The Investment Services Group includes private banking, trust services, asset management and institutional investment advice. A significant portion of this segment's income is derived from fees, which are generally based on the market values of assets under management. The private banking and personal trust group assists individuals and families in building and preserving their wealth by providing investment, credit and trust expertise to high net-worth individuals. The asset management group manages portfolios and creates investment products. Institutional sales and service offers investment advice to corporations, government entities and foundations.

23



The decline in the segment's financial measures for 2005 from 2004 was primarily due to previously announced charges for legal fees and other expenses as a result of the now resolved SEC investigation discussed above under "Analysis of Statement of Income – Non-Interest Expense." Increases in both net interest income and non-interest income partially offset the increased non-interest expenses. Trust and asset management fee income increased largely due to improved market conditions which resulted in an increase in the average market value of assets under management and an increase in investment advisory fees on money market accounts.

The improvement in the segment's financial measures for 2004 was a result of an increase in non-interest income. Non-interest income increased because of growth in trust and asset management fee income resulting from improved market conditions and an increase in other income due to the sale of the corporate trust business. These positive trends were offset by increases in both direct and allocated non-interest expense. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increased professional fees relating to the Company's mutual fund business.

Treasury and Other Corporate

The primary income earning component of this segment is Treasury, which consists of corporate asset and liability management activities, including interest rate risk management and foreign exchange business. This segment's assets and liabilities (and related interest income and expense) consist of interest-bearing deposits, investment securities, funds sold and purchased, government deposits and short- and long-term borrowings. The primary sources of non-interest income are bank-owned life insurance and foreign exchange income related to customer driven currency requests from merchants and island visitors. The net residual effect of transfer pricing of assets and liabilities is included in Treasury, along with eliminations of inter-company transactions.

This segment also includes divisions (Technology and Operations, Human Resources, Finance, Credit and Risk Management and Corporate and Regulatory Administration) that provide a wide-range of support to the other business segments. Expenses incurred by these support units are charged to the business segments through an internal cost allocation process. Results for this segment in 2003 include the System Replacement Project costs that were not incurred by or allocated to the other business segments.

The segment's financial measures in 2005 remained relatively consistent with 2004, although net interest income and non-interest income decreases were offset by a decrease in non-interest expense. The reduction in net interest income was due to the impact on the Treasury unit of funding higher average deposit balances. Non-interest income decreased due to reduced income from bank-owned life insurance and the sale of a parcel of land in 2004. Non-interest expenses decreased due to reductions in stock-based compensation and separation expense.

The improvement in the segment's financial measures in 2004 compared to 2003 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income and the absence of System Replacement Project costs. The increase in net interest income was due to the impact of the lower cost of funding deposits by the Treasury unit and higher average balances in the investment securities portfolio. NIACC was also favorably impacted by a lower capital charge due to the reduction of the Company's excess capital as a result of the continuing share repurchase activity.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Certain 2004 information has been reclassified to conform to 2005 presentation.

Investment Securities

The Company's investment securities portfolio is managed in an effort to provide liquidity and interest income, offset interest rate risk positions and provide collateral for various banking activities. As of December 31, 2005, the investment securities portfolio totaled $3.0 billion, a decrease of $81.2 million from December 31, 2004. The investment securities portfolio was in a gross unrealized loss position of $59.7 million or 2.0% of total amortized cost at December 31, 2005. The Company intends and has the ability to hold the securities for the time necessary to recover

Loans and Leases

Loans and leases represent the Company's largest category of interest earning assets and the largest source of revenue. The loan portfolio, which is divided into commercial and consumer components, increased 3% to $6.2 billion at December 31, 2005 from 2004. Table 7 presents the geographic distribution of the loan and lease portfolio based on the location of the borrower and Table 8 presents maturities and sensitivity of loans to changes in interest rates.

The commercial loan portfolio is comprised of commercial and industrial loans, commercial mortgages, construction loans and lease financing. Commercial and industrial loans are extended primarily to corporations, middle market and small businesses. The purpose of these loans is for working capital needs, acquisitions, equipment or other expansion projects. Although the Company's primary market is Hawaii, the commercial portfolio contains some borrowers from the continental United States ("Mainland") that are principally shared national credits. Commercial mortgages and construction loans are offered to real estate investors, developers and builders primarily domiciled in Hawaii. Commercial mortgages are secured by real estate. The source of repayment for investor property is cash flow from the property and for owner-occupied property it is operating cash flow from the business. Construction loans are for the purchase or construction of a property for which repayment will be generated by the property. Lease financing consists of direct financing leases and leveraged leases. Overall, the commercial loan portfolio decreased compared to 2004 due to a significant loan payoff during the fourth quarter partially offset by the growth in construction loans mainly due to the strong local economy.

25


The consumer loan portfolio is comprised of residential mortgage loans, home equity loans, personal credit lines, direct installment loans and indirect auto loans and leases. These products are offered generally in the markets the Company serves through its branch network. Both the residential mortgage and home equity portfolios continued to benefit from higher home values in 2005. Median and average home sales prices in Hawaii increased more than 25% in 2005, resulting in higher purchase prices and additional equity in existing homes, bolstering growth in the residential mortgage and home equity portfolios. The Company used targeted marketing campaigns and promotions as well as improved service standards to make loans available to creditworthy customers. The Company expects to see continued growth in these portfolios in 2006. By contrast, the purchased home equity portfolio, which is comprised of Mainland borrowers, continues to run-off with no new purchases in 2005. Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in this Item, presents the composition of the loan and lease portfolio by major loan categories.

As of December 31, 2005, loans maturing after one year consisted of $362.5 million with floating rates and $142.6 million with fixed rates.

Other Assets

During the second quarter of 2005, a deposit was placed with the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") relating to a review by the IRS of the Company's tax positions for certain leveraged lease transactions. The placing of the deposit will reduce additional accrual of interest associated with the potential underpayment of taxes related to these transactions. The Company believes its tax position related to these transactions was proper based on applicable statutes, regulations and case law at the time the transactions were entered into. This deposit is reported in other assets

26



in the Company's consolidated statement of condition. Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in this Item, presents the detail of other assets.

Deposits

Total deposits were $7.9 billion at December 31, 2005, a 4.5% increase over the prior year-end. Demand and time deposits increased while savings deposits declined as a result of the balance movement to higher rate time deposits. The year-to-date average time deposits of $100,000 or more was $0.6 billion in both 2005 and 2004. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in this Item, for additional deposit information.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("repos") totaled $609.4 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $40.4 million from December 31, 2004. The increase was due to $175.0 million in repos placed with private entities in 2005, partially offset by a reduction in repos with government entities. The private repos are at floating interest rates tied to the London Inter Bank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") of which the weighted average rate was 3.69% at December 31, 2005. The terms of the repos are 10 to 15 years. The private entities have the right to terminate repos totaling $100.0 million in two years, repos totaling $50.0 million quarterly after the third year, and the remaining repos totaling $25.0 million in five years. If the agreements are not terminated, the rates become fixed ranging from 3.85% to 4.25% for the respective remaining term.

Borrowings

Short-term borrowings, including funds purchased, commercial paper and other short-term borrowings, totaled $277.6 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $112.9 million from December 31, 2004 primarily due to a higher funds purchased balance. The Company's long-term debt was lower in 2005 from 2004 due to maturing Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The source of funds used to repay the long-term debt was deposit growth, repos and other short-term borrowings. See Notes 7 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which are incorporated by reference in this Item, for more information on short-term borrowings and long-term debt.

Foreign Activities

During 2005, the Company continued to hold U.S. dollar placements and securities issued by foreign entities, as a tax efficient investment structure to generate foreign source earnings. The Company had foreign tax credits available to reduce the tax on this income.

Corporate Risk Profile

Credit Risk

Credit Risk is defined as the risk that borrowers or counter parties will not be able to repay their obligations to the Company. Credit exposures reflect legally binding commitments for loans, leases, banker's acceptances, financial and standby letters of credit and overnight deposit account overdrafts.

The Company manages and controls risk in the loan portfolio by adhering to well-defined and uniform underwriting criteria and account administration standards established by management. Written credit policies establish underwriting standards, approval levels, exposure limits and other limits or standards deemed necessary and prudent. The Company generally does not participate in sub-prime lending activities. Portfolio diversification at the obligor, industry, product and/or geographic location levels is actively managed to mitigate concentration risk. In addition, credit risk management also includes an independent credit review process that assesses compliance with commercial and consumer credit policies, risk ratings and other critical credit information.

28


The Company's credit risk position remained stable and strong during 2005. The Company observed lower levels of internally criticized loans and non-performing assets. The ratio of non-accrual loans to total loans at December 31, 2005 was 0.09%, down from 0.23% at December 31, 2004.

Net loan charge-offs in 2005 as a percent of average loans outstanding was 0.36%, an increase from 0.09% from the same prior year period. The increase is primarily due to a $10.0 million charge-off taken for a leveraged lease following the bankruptcy announcement of a national air carrier in the third quarter of 2005. This charge-off was fully reserved. During 2004, the Company benefited from a $6.0 million recovery of a previously charged-off loan from its divested Asia business.

The Company's favorable credit risk profile reflects sustained expansion and strength in the Hawaii and Mainland economies and improving economic conditions in Guam as well as disciplined commercial and retail underwriting and portfolio management. The quality of the portfolio of Hawaii-based loans continued to improve, primarily due to the expanding local economy led by construction and real estate industries and record levels of domestic tourism despite sustained higher energy prices and some increasing inflationary trends.

Consumer loans increased $192.3 million from 2004 to $4.07 billion driven primarily by an increase in home equity loans. Home equity loans totaled $801.8 million, an increase from $657.2 million at December 31, 2004. Expansion primarily stems from organic growth in Hawaii as a result of a strong residential real estate market. The majority of credit facilities are to high credit-scoring owner occupants with credit line facilities less than $250,000 and combined loan-to-value ratios of less than or equal to 80%.

Relative to the Company's total portfolio, domestic airline carriers continued to demonstrate a higher risk profile due to sustained high oil prices and marginal pricing power. In the evaluation of the Reserve, the Company considered the current financial strain on airlines, which offset the impact of the improvement in other components of the loan portfolio. Table 10 below summarizes the Company's air transportation credit exposure.

Exposure includes loans, leveraged leases and operating leases.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets ("NPAs") consist of non-accrual loans and leases, loans held for sale, foreclosed real estate and other non-performing investments. At December 31, 2005, the ratio of NPAs to total loans and leases, foreclosed real estate and other investments was 0.11%, a decline from 0.23% at December 31, 2004. The net decrease in NPAs at December 31, 2005 from December 31, 2004 primarily included $11.0 million of payments and pay-offs, $3.3 million of loans that returned to accrual status, $0.8 million of charge-offs and offset by $8.0 million of additions. The remaining NPAs are principally residential mortgages.

Loans Past Due 90 Days or More and Still Accruing Interest

Accruing loans past due 90 days or more totaled $2.9 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $0.8 million from December 31, 2004. The increase is primarily from residential mortgages in Guam. The Company believes the improved real estate market conditions in Guam will provide sufficient resilience to resolve any distressed properties within an acceptable time frame.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The Allowance was $91.1 million at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $15.7 million from December 31, 2004. Based on management's ongoing assessment of the credit quality of the loan portfolio and the economic environment, the Company recorded a Provision of $4.6 million in 2005. In 2004, the Company returned $10.0 million to income from a release of the Allowance. In addition, during 2004, $6.8 million was reclassified to other liabilities from the Allowance relating to the Unfunded Reserve. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in this Item, for changes in the Allowance during the last five years.

The ratio of the Allowance to total loans and leases outstanding was 1.48% at December 31, 2005, down from 1.78% at December 31, 2004.

Net charge-offs for 2005 of $22.0 million, or 0.36% of total average loans and leases, increased from $5.5 million or 0.09% of total average loans and leases in 2004. Net charge-offs in 2005 included the $10.0 million charge-off of a fully reserved aircraft lease and in 2004 net charge-offs included recoveries of $8.2 million from divested businesses. Adjusted for activity from these non-recurring items, net charge-offs for 2005 and 2004 were $12.0 million and $13.7 million or 0.20% and 0.24%, respectively, of total average loans.

Although the Company determines the amount of each element of the Allowance separately, the Allowance was considered appropriate by management at December 31, 2005, based on an ongoing analysis of estimated probable credit losses, credit risk profiles, economic conditions, coverage ratios and other relevant factors.

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments

Unfunded commitments to extend credit reflect banker's acceptances, financial and standby letters of credit, commercial letters of credit, overnight overdrafts and credit cards where the Company has issued a loss guarantee on behalf of its customers. The process used to determine the Unfunded Reserve is consistent with the process for determining the Allowance as adjusted for estimated funding probabilities or loan equivalency factors. The Unfunded Reserve at December 31, 2005 was $5.1 million compared with $6.8 million at December 31, 2004.

Market Risk

Market risk is the potential of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and prices. The Company is exposed to market risk as a consequence of the normal course of conducting its business activities. Financial products that expose the Company to market risk include investment securities, loans, deposits, debt and derivative financial instruments. The Company's market risk management process involves measuring, monitoring, controlling and managing risks that can significantly impact the Company's financial condition and results of operations. In this management process, market risks are balanced with expected returns in an effort to enhance earnings performance and shareholder value, while limiting the volatility of each. The activities associated with these market risks are categorized into "trading" and "other than trading."

The Company's trading activities include foreign currency and foreign exchange contracts that expose the Company to a minor degree of foreign currency risk. These transactions are primarily executed on behalf of customers and at times for the Company's own account.

The Company's "other than trading" activities include normal business transactions that expose the Company's balance sheet profile to varying degrees of market risk. The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. A key element in the process of managing market risk involves oversight by senior management and the Board of Directors as to the level of such risk assumed by the Company in its balance sheet. The Board of Directors reviews and approves risk management policies, including risk limits and guidelines and delegates oversight functions to the Asset Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"). The ALCO, consisting of senior business and finance officers, monitors the Company's market risk exposure and, as market conditions dictate, modifies balance sheet positions. The ALCO may also direct the use of derivative instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company's balance sheet is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. This interest rate risk arises primarily from the Company's normal business activities of making loans, taking deposits and purchasing securities. Many other factors also affect the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates, such as general economic and financial conditions, customer preferences and historical pricing relationships.

The earnings of the Company and the Bank are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve System. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve System influence, to a significant extent, the overall growth of loans, investments and deposits; the level of interest rates earned on assets and paid for liabilities; and interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The nature and impact of future changes in monetary policies are generally not predictable.

A key element in the Company's ongoing process to measure and monitor interest rate risk is the utilization of a net interest income ("NII") simulation model. This model is used to estimate the amount that NII will change over a one-year time horizon under various interest rate scenarios. These estimates are based on assumptions on the behavior of loan and deposit pricing, prepayment speeds on mortgage-based assets, and principal amortization and maturities on other financial instruments. The model's analytics include the effects of embedded options. While such assumptions are inherently uncertain, management believes that these assumptions are reasonable. As a result, the NII

33



simulation model attempts to capture the dynamic nature of the balance sheet and provide a sophisticated estimate rather than a precise prediction of NII's exposure to changes in interest rates.

The Company continues to be asset sensitive and, as a result, net interest income will generally increase from higher interest rates. Interest rate risk was reduced in 2005 by effectively matching asset and liability durations in response to a more stable interest rate outlook.

Table 14 presents, as of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the estimate of the change in NII from a gradual 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, moving in parallel fashion for the entire yield curve, over the next 12-month period relative to the measured base case scenario for NII.

To enhance and complement the results from the NII simulation model, the Company also monitors interest rate risk utilizing measures such as sensitivity of market value of equity, value-at-risk, and the exposure to basis risk and non-parallel yield curve shifts. There are inherent limitations to these measures; however, used along with the NII simulation model, the Company obtains better overall insight for managing its exposure to changes in interest rates.

In managing interest rate risk, the Company uses several approaches to modify its risk position. Approaches that are used to shift balance sheet mix or alter the interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities include changing product pricing strategies, modifying investment securities portfolio characteristics, or using financial derivative instruments. The use of financial derivatives, as detailed in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in this Item, has generally been limited over the past several years.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity is managed in an effort to ensure that the Company has continuous access to sufficient, reasonably priced funding. Funding requirements are impacted by loan refinancings and originations, liability settlements and issuances and off-balance sheet funding commitments. The Company considers and complies with various regulatory guidelines regarding required liquidity levels and periodically monitors its liquidity position in light of the changing economic environment and customer activity. Based on periodic liquidity assessments, the Company may alter its assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet positions. The ALCO monitors sources and uses of funds and modifies asset and liability positions as liquidity requirements change. This process, combined with the Company's ability to raise funds in money and capital markets and through private placements, provides flexibility in managing the exposure to liquidity risk.

In an effort to ensure that its liquidity needs are met, the Company actively manages its assets and liabilities. The primary sources of liquidity are available-for-sale investment securities, interest-bearing deposits and cash flows from loans and investments, as well as the ability to sell certain assets. With respect to liabilities, liquidity is generated through growth in deposits, repos and other funding. During 2005, the Company continued to use liquidity to repurchase stock (see "Capital Management") and reduce debt where possible. In 2005, a total of $10.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances matured. In addition, excess liquidity was deployed into longer term assets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

The Company does not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities ("SPEs"), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

The Company's commitments and contractual obligations as of December 31, 2005 are summarized in Table 15. See the following Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements which are incorporated by reference in this Item for additional information.

The Company obtains liquidity through repos, funds purchased and commercial paper. The Company issues commercial paper in various denominations with maturities of generally 90 days or less.

Repos are financing transactions, under which securities are pledged as collateral for borrowings. Historically, these transactions were generally entered into with governmental entities, which have provided a stable source of funds via repos. During 2005, the Company entered into several repo transactions with private parties for terms greater than one year.

35



The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (the "FHLB"), which provides an additional source for short- and long-term funding. Borrowings from the FHLB were $77.5 million, at rates ranging from 3.2% to 5.69%, and $87.5 million, at rates ranging from 3.2% to 5.91%, at the end of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Additionally, the Bank maintains a $1.0 billion senior and subordinated bank note program. Under this facility, the Bank may issue additional notes provided that the aggregate amount outstanding does not exceed $1.0 billion. Subordinated notes outstanding under this bank note program totaled $124.8 million bearing a fixed interest rate of 6.875% at the end of 2005 and 2004.

The largest purchase obligation included in the above table is an outsourcing agreement for technology services. Total payments over the remaining term (through 2010) of this contract will be approximately $48.0 million. Other contracts included in purchase obligations consist of service agreements for the Company's asset management system, ATM system and cash management system.

Capital Management

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can cause certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative and qualitative measures. These measures were established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company and the Bank were "well capitalized" under this regulatory framework. There have been no conditions or events since December 31, 2005 that management believes have changed either the Company's or the Bank's capital classifications. Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in this Item, provides additional information on long-term debt while Note 9 provides information about the regulatory capital framework and the Company's capital amounts and ratios.

As of December 31, 2005, $31.4 million of the 8.25% Capital Securities that mature in 2026 were outstanding. These securities qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory accounting purposes, but are classified as long-term debt in the consolidated statements of condition. In addition, the Company had subordinated debt of $74.9 million at the end of 2005 that qualifies as Total capital for regulatory purposes.

At year-end 2005, the Company's shareholders' equity was $693.4 million, a decrease of $121.5 million or 15% from year-end 2004. The decrease in shareholders' equity resulted primarily from stock repurchases of $247.4 million and dividends of $70.8 million. The decrease was partially offset by current year earnings. Table 16 presents a five-year history of activities and balances in the Company's capital accounts, along with key capital ratios.

During 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved additional authorizations of $200.0 million to repurchase shares of common stock under the share repurchase program. In January 2006, an additional $100.0 million authorization was approved, which combined with the Company's previously announced authorization of $1.35 billion, brings the total authorized repurchase amount to $1.45 billion. From the beginning of the share repurchase program in July 2001 through December 31, 2005, the Company had repurchased a total of 40.0 million shares and returned a total of $1.33 billion to its shareholders at an average cost of $33.31 per share. From January 1, 2006 through February 17, 2006, the Company repurchased an additional 0.4 million shares at an average cost of $52.73 per share for a total of $20.5 million. Remaining buyback authority was $97.5 million at February 17, 2006.

36


In December 2005, the Company retired 25.0 million shares of its treasury stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments

Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in this Item, discusses the expected impact of new accounting standards recently issued or proposed but not yet required to be adopted.

Fourth Quarter Results and Other Matters

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2005 was $44.8 million, down $1.5 million or 3.2% from the comparable period in 2004. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2005 were $0.86, an increase of $0.04 or 4.9% from $0.82 per diluted share for the same prior year period. The return on average assets for the fourth quarter of 2005 was 1.76%, down from 1.89% in the comparable period in 2004. Return on average equity for the fourth quarter of 2005 improved to 25.19% from 23.63% in the same quarter last year. Results for the fourth quarter of 2004 included a return to income of $6.5 million before tax ($4.1 million after tax or $0.07 per diluted share), resulting from a release of the Reserve.

Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $103.5 million, up $3.5 million from $100.0 million in the fourth quarter last year. The increase in net interest income was largely due to an increase in the yield in average earning assets partially offset by a rise in deposit rates as a result of short term rate increases.

37



The net interest margin was 4.42% for the fourth quarter of 2005, a two basis point increase from 4.40% in the fourth quarter of 2004. The net interest margin improvement from the prior year quarter was a result of an increase in the yield on average earning assets partially offset by a rise in deposit rates as a result of short term rate increases.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 included a Provision of $1.6 million. As previously mentioned, the Company returned to income $6.5 million of the Reserve during the fourth quarter of 2004.

Non-interest income was $50.8 million for the fourth quarter, an increase of $2.5 million or 5.1% compared to non-interest income of $48.4 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily a result of higher advisory fees on money market assets as well as higher mortgage servicing income due to lower amortization expense.

Non-interest expense was $83.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, up $1.1 million or 1.3% from $82.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. The increase from the same quarter last year was due to an increase in legal fees relating to the Company's mutual fund business. Partially offsetting the increased legal fees were decreases in base salaries due to a lower employee count and lower stock-based compensation due to fewer restricted shares outstanding in the fourth quarter of 2005.

During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company repurchased 0.6 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $32.3 million under its share repurchase program. The average cost was $51.20 per share.

Net income estimates for 2006 include a $17.0 million Provision. An analysis of credit quality is performed quarterly to determine the adequacy of the Reserve. The results of this analysis determine the timing and amount of the Provision.

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Bank of Hawaii Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of Bank of Hawaii Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Bank of Hawaii Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Bank of Hawaii Corporation and subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 22, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Bank of Hawaii Corporation (the "Company") is a Bank Holding Company ("BHC") providing a broad range of financial products and services to customers in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands (Guam, nearby islands and American Samoa). The majority of the Company's operations consist of customary commercial and consumer banking services including, but not limited to, lending, leasing, deposit services, trust and investment activities, brokerage services, insurance products and trade financing.

The accounting and reporting principles of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and prevailing practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

The following is a description of the significant accounting policies of the Company:

Consolidation

The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company's principal subsidiary is Bank of Hawaii (the "Bank"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has investments in low-income housing projects and sponsors the Bank of Hawaii Charitable Foundation. These entities are not consolidated in the Company's financial statements. The Company also has investments in leveraged leases, as discussed in Note 3.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and non-interest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing deposits and funds sold. All amounts are readily convertible to cash and have maturities less than 90 days.

Investment Securities

Investment securities are accounted for according to their purpose and holding period. Debt securities that may not be held to maturity and marketable equity securities are classified as securities available for sale and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, after applicable taxes, reported as a component of cumulative other comprehensive income. Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Trading securities are those securities acquired for the purpose of funding the Company's liabilities associated with certain compensation plans. These securities are included in other assets and are carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses recognized currently in non-interest income. Non-marketable equity securities (Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock) are accounted for at cost and included in other assets.

The estimated fair value of a security is determined based on current market quotations. Declines in the value of debt securities and marketable equity securities that are considered other than temporary are recorded in non-interest income. Realized gains and losses are recorded in non-interest income using the specific identification method.

45



Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale, principally mortgage loans, are valued on an aggregate basis at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Gains and losses on loan sales (sales proceeds minus carrying value) are recorded in the mortgage banking component of non-interest income.

Loans and Leases

Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Loan origination fees, certain direct costs, unearned discounts and premiums are deferred and amortized into interest income as an adjustment to yield using methods that approximate the effective yield method over the term or estimated life of the loan. Non-refundable fees and direct loan origination cost related to loans held for sale are deferred and recognized as a component of the gain or loss on sale. Loan commitment fees are generally deferred and amortized into interest income over the commitment period. Other credit-related fees are recognized as fee income, a component of non-interest income, when earned.

Direct financing leases are carried at the aggregate of lease payments receivable plus estimated residual value of the leased property, less unearned income. Leveraged leases, which are a form of financing leases, are carried net of non-recourse debt. Unearned income on direct financing and leveraged leases is amortized over the lease term by methods that approximate the interest method. Residual values on leased assets are reviewed regularly for other than temporary impairment.

Non-Performing Loans and Leases

Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status upon becoming contractually past due 90 days or more for principal or interest (unless adequately secured by collateral, and are in the process of collection and are reasonably expected to result in repayment), when terms are renegotiated below market levels, or where substantial doubt about full repayment of principal and or interest is evident.

When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is reversed and the loan is accounted for on the cash or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual status. A loan may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.

Loans are charged-off when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and when it is possible to make a reasonable estimate of the loss. For commercial loans, a charge-off is determined on a judgmental basis after due consideration of the debtor's prospects for repayment and the fair value of collateral is deemed deficient. For residential mortgage and home equity loans, a charge-off is required at 120 days delinquency for the amount that the estimated fair value (sales price minus all costs to acquire title, to hold and to sell) is less than the loan balance. Other consumer loans are charged-off upon becoming past due 120 days.

Reserve for Credit Losses

The Company's reserve for credit losses is comprised of two components, the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the "Allowance") and the Reserve for Unfunded Commitments ("Unfunded Reserve"). The Unfunded Reserve was reclassified on a prospective basis at December 31, 2004 from the Allowance to other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Condition. Changes to the level of the Reserve are recognized through charges or credits to the provision for credit losses (the "Provision").

46



Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The Allowance is a valuation allowance for estimated probable credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of a given balance sheet date. In accordance with accounting and regulatory guidance, the Company maintains an Allowance adequate to cover management's estimate of probable credit losses. Changes to the absolute level of the Allowance are recognized through charges or credits to the Provision. Losses represent a charge or reduction to the Allowance while recoveries are credited or added back. Credit exposures covered by the Allowance are defined as funded or outstanding amounts of loans and leases.

The Allowance is allocated based on analyses of individual borrowers and historical loss experience supplemented as necessary by credit judgment to address observed changes in trends and conditions and other relevant environmental and economic factors that may affect the collectibility of loans in the portfolio. Given the many subjective factors affecting the loan portfolio, observed changes in trends and conditions may not directly coincide with changes in credit risk ratings or current loss experience.

The allocation is separated between baseline and credit judgment segments. Baseline loss estimates reflect a "bottoms-up" approach based on a quarterly evaluation of individual commercial borrowers for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures" ("SFAS No. 114"). Identification of specific borrowers for review is based on non-accrual status and those identified by management as exhibiting above average levels of risk.

The baseline segment also includes analyses of historical loss patterns in various loan pools that have been grouped based on similar risk characteristics for collective evaluation of impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies" ("SFAS No. 5"). Commercial loan pools are collectively evaluated for impairment based on line-of-business and internal risk rating segmentation and exclude those loans evaluated for impairment under SFAS No. 114. Loss estimates are calculated based on an analysis of historical risk rating migrations to loss. Consumer and small business loan pools reflect aggregation of similar products based on geography. A range of loss estimate is calculated based on historical rolling average loss rates, credit score band or tier-based loss rates and average delinquency flows to loss.

The credit judgment segment supplements the baseline and is based on assessments of portfolio performance not reflected in the historical analyses. Evaluation of these environmental and economic factors results in a range of probable loss from which the amount of credit judgment is set. Relevant factors include, but are not limited to, concentrations (geographic, large borrower and industry), economic trends and conditions, changes in underwriting standards, experience and depth of lending staff, and trends in delinquencies, loan impairment and net charge-offs. In addition, the Company uses a variety of other tools to estimate probable losses including, but not limited to, a rolling quarterly forecast of asset quality metrics; stress testing; and performance indicators based on the Company's own experience, peers or other industry sources.

The Allowance also contains an unallocated component that covers a measure for imprecision relative to quantitative and judgmental estimates that will inevitably be imprecise partially due to delayed information and interpretation of that information. Management recognizes that a measure of imprecision is in-and-of itself highly subjective and is based on collective experience. The level of the unallocated component may vary from period to period.

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments

The Unfunded Reserve is a component of other liabilities and represents the estimate for probable credit losses inherent in unfunded commitments to extend credit. Unfunded commitments to extend credit include banker's acceptances, financial and standby letters of credit, commercial letters of credit, overnight overdrafts and credit cards where the Company has issued a loss guarantee on behalf of its customers to facilitate card issuance. The process used to determine the Unfunded Reserve is consistent with the process for determining the Allowance as adjusted for

47



estimated funding probabilities or loan equivalency factors. The Unfunded Reserve is increased or decreased through the Provision.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the respective lease. Useful lives range from three to fifty years for premises and improvements, and three to ten years for equipment.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Foreclosed real estate consists of properties acquired through foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value based on current appraisals less estimated selling costs. Losses arising at the time of acquiring such property are charged against the Allowance. Subsequent declines in property value are recognized through charges to non-interest expense.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as assets when mortgage loans are sold and the rights to service those loans are retained. The assets are recorded at their relative fair values on the date the loans are sold and are carried at the lower of the initial recorded value, adjusted for amortization, or fair value. The assets are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated total net servicing income.

An impairment analysis is performed on a quarterly basis by estimating the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights and comparing that value to the carrying amount. The assets are stratified by certain risk characteristics, primarily loan type and note rate. The Company estimates the fair value using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model uses factors such as loan prepayment rates, costs to service, ancillary income, impound account balances and interest rate assumptions in its calculations. An impairment in any one stratification would result in a valuation allowance of the mortgage servicing rights being recognized in mortgage banking income. No impairment charges were recognized in 2005 or 2003 but an expense of $13,000 was recorded in 2004.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. There was a $1.3 million impairment charge in 2005 related to the Company's insurance business. No impairment of goodwill occurred in 2004 or 2003.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The Company enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. Under these arrangements, the Company may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase the assets. As a result, repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing arrangements and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability in the Consolidated Statements of Condition while the securities underlying the agreements remain in the respective asset accounts. If the secured party can re-sell or re-pledge the securities, they are classified as pledged securities in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. If the secured party cannot resell or re-pledge the securities, they are not separately identified.

48



Asset Impairments

Under Company policy, which is in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment based on their future use. For an asset that is to be held and used, an impairment loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset, is recognized only if the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows. For a long-lived asset to be disposed of by sale, the asset is measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and depreciation is ceased. There was no impairment of long-lived assets in 2005, 2004 or 2003; however, in 2003 depreciation was accelerated over their remaining useful life on assets related to the Systems Replacement Project, as further discussed below.

Information Technology System Replacement Project

In 2003, the Company completed the Information Technology System Replacement Project, which was accounted for under SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The costs associated with this project included employee termination benefits, costs to terminate contracts, asset abandonment and professional fees. Termination benefits for employees not required to render service beyond a minimum retention period were recognized at fair value at the communication date. Termination benefits for employees that were required to render service beyond a minimum retention period were recognized ratably over the remaining service period. Costs to terminate a contract before the end of its term were recognized and measured at fair value when the contract terminated. Professional fees were expensed ratably over the conversion period. Depreciation expense on assets abandoned was accelerated and recognized over the shortened life.

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with the Bank and its subsidiaries. Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the corresponding tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are calculated by applying enacted statutory tax rates and tax laws to future years in which temporary differences are expected to reverse. The impact on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that the rate change is enacted. A deferred tax valuation reserve is established if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company maintains reserves for certain tax exposures that arise in the normal course of business. These exposures are evaluated based on an assessment of probabilities as to the likelihood of whether a liability has been incurred. Such assessments are reviewed as events occur and adjustments to the reserves are made as appropriate.

The Company's tax sharing policy provides for the settlement of income taxes between each relevant subsidiary as if the subsidiary had filed a separate return. Payments are made to the Company by subsidiaries with tax liabilities, and subsidiaries that generate tax benefits receive payments for those benefits as used.

Pension and Postretirement Benefits

The Company incurs certain employment-related expenses associated with pensions and postretirement health benefits. In order to measure the expense associated with these benefits, various assumptions are made including the discount rate used to value certain liabilities, expected return on plan assets, anticipated mortality rates and expected future healthcare costs. The assumptions used are based on historical experience as well as current facts and circumstances. A third-party actuarial firm is used to assist the Company's management in properly measuring the expense and liability associated with these benefits. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for all its plans. At the measurement date, plan assets are determined based on fair value, generally representing observable market prices. The projected benefit obligation is principally determined based on the present value of projected benefit distributions at an assumed discount rate.

49



Periodic pension expense (or credits) includes interest costs based on the assumed discount rate, the expected return on plan assets based on an actuarially derived market-related value and amortization of actuarial gains and losses. Periodic postretirement expense includes service cost, interest costs based on the assumed discount rate, amortization of unrecognized net transition obligation and recognized actuarial gains or losses.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the dilutive impact of common stock equivalents and uses the average share price during the period in determining the number of incremental shares to be added to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. There were no adjustments to net income (the numerator) for purposes of computing basic EPS. A reconciliation of the weighted average common shares outstanding for computing diluted EPS for 2005, 2004 and 2003 follows:

Denominator for Diluted EPS 53,310,816   56,241,044   61,085,567

Risk Management Instruments

The Company has authorization from its Board to use derivative financial instruments as an end-user in connection with its risk management activities and to accommodate the needs of customers. The Company has not qualified for any of the hedge accounting methods (i.e., fair value, cash flow or net investment in foreign operations hedges) addressed under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS No. 133"). All risk management derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the balance sheet and changes in fair values are reported in current period non-interest income.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has employee and director stock option plans that are more fully described in Note 12. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123") through December 31, 2005, the Company had elected to continue applying the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB No. 25"), in accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, ("SFAS No. 123(R)") on January 1, 2006. Generally, prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), no expense for stock option grants was reflected in the results of operations as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123.

A Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to determine the fair values of the options granted.

The method of estimating the average expected volatility was changed in 2005 to consider the change in daily market price of the Company's stock over the expected term of the options, excluding the interim years 2000-2003. During this excluded period, the Company divested most of its foreign and U.S. mainland operations in addition to outsourcing its information technology system. The volatility during that period was not considered representative of the Company's normal volatility measure. The change in the volatility assumption resulted in a decrease in the option fair value.

Stock Repurchases

Shares of the Company's common stock that are repurchased are recorded in treasury stock at cost.

Advertising Costs

The Company recognizes its advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were $5.3 million, $5.5 million and $4.6 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

International Operations

The Bank has operations that are conducted in certain Pacific Islands that are denominated in U.S. dollars. These operations are classified as domestic.

Recent Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123(R), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB No. 25 and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense through the income statement based on estimated fair value at issue date. Pro forma disclosure will no longer be an alternative. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006.

51



The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the "modified prospective" method. Under this method, awards that are granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2006, will be measured and accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). Also under this method, expense will be recognized in the income statement for unvested awards that were granted prior to January 1, 2006, based upon the fair value determined at the grant date under SFAS No. 123.

The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's overall financial condition or results of operations. Had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share shown in the table above.

In July 2005, the FASB issued an exposure draft, FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. FAS 13-a "Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction" ("FSP 13-a"). Under FSP 13-a, a revision in the timing of expected cash flows of a leveraged lease may require a recalculation of the original lease assumptions. A material change in the net investment in a leveraged lease using different cash flow assumptions would be recognized as a gain or loss in the period in which the assumptions are revised. The Company has entered into one leveraged lease transaction known as Lease In/Lease Out ("LILO") and several Sale In/Lease Out ("SILO") transactions that are currently under various stages of review by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). The outcome of these reviews may change the timing of cash flows from these leases which, under the current draft of FSP 13-a, would result in gain or loss recognition. Under FSP 13-a, a one time implementation gain or loss (net of tax) would be recognized as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. The LILO transaction is currently in the IRS appeals process. The range of settlement with the IRS may result in an approximate after-tax expense that could be as much as $4.0 million which, under the current draft form of FSP 13-a, would be recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle (this charge would be recognized back into income over the remaining term of the affected lease). The SILO transactions currently have not entered the appeals process. Thus, based on the current set of facts known at this time, the Company cannot estimate a range of loss on the SILOs. The final FSP is expected to be issued in 2006.

The Company does not believe gross unrealized losses as of December 31, 2005, which is comprised of 211 securities, represent an other-than-temporary impairment. The gross unrealized losses reported for mortgage-backed securities relate primarily to securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and private institutions. These gross unrealized losses, which represent 2.0% of total amortized cost basis, were attributable to changes in interest rates. The Company has both the intent and ability to hold the securities for a time necessary to recover the amortized cost.

Income taxes related to 2005 net realized gain on the sale of investment securities were $0.1 million. The cumulative other comprehensive income from net unrealized losses on investment securities was $(27.3) million (net of taxes) as of December 31, 2005.

The Company is the lessor in various leveraged lease agreements under which airplanes, rail cars and water-craft, with estimated economic lives ranging from 20 to 36 years, are leased for terms up to 29 years. The Company's equity investment typically represents between 20% and 30% of the purchase price, with the remaining percentage being furnished by third-party financing in the form of long-term debt that provides for no recourse against the Company and is secured by a first lien on the asset. The residual value of the asset is estimated at the beginning of the lease, based on

55



appraisals and other methods, and is reviewed at least annually for impairment. At the end of the lease term, the asset is returned to the Company. For federal income tax purposes, the Company receives the benefit of tax deductions for depreciation on the entire leased asset and for interest on the long-term debt. During the early years of the lease, tax deductions exceed lease rental income, resulting in reduced income taxes. In the later years of the lease, rental income will exceed the deductions and taxes will be payable. Deferred taxes are provided to reflect this timing difference. The investment in leveraged leases at December 31, 2005 of $380.5 million is included in the commercial lease financing total of $470.2 million shown in the loan portfolio table.

The Company's net investment in leveraged leases was comprised of the following:

Certain directors and executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, companies in which they are principal owners, and trusts in which they are involved, have loans with the Bank. These loans were made in the ordinary course of business at normal credit terms, including interest rate and collateral requirements. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, such loans amounted to $16.8 million and $86.3 million, respectively. During 2005, the activity in these loans included new borrowings of $5.2 million and repayments of $76.3 million. The loan balances were also increased by $1.6 million as a result of changes in the parties considered executive officers under SEC regulations.

The Company leases certain branch premises and equipment with lease terms extending through 2030. The Company's headquarters' building lease term is through 2052. Most of the leases for premises provide for a base rent over a specified period with renewal options thereafter. Portions of certain properties are subleased for periods expiring in various years through 2014. Lease terms generally provide for the Company to pay taxes, maintenance and other operating costs.

Average rates for the year are computed by dividing actual interest expense on borrowings by average daily borrowings.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("repos") are accounted for as financing transactions and the obligations to repurchase these securities are recorded as liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. The securities underlying the agreements to repurchase continue to be reflected as assets of the Company and are delivered to and held in collateral accounts with third party trustees.

Funds purchased generally mature on the next business day following the date of purchase.

Other short-term borrowings include Treasury Tax and Loan balances, which represent tax payments collected on behalf of the U.S. Government, callable at any time and bearing market interest rates, and commercial paper which is issued in various denominations generally maturing 90 days or less from date of issuance.

During 2005, the Bank entered into other repo agreements with private entities for terms greater than one year. At December 31, 2005, these long-term private repos totaled $175.0 million. The long-term private repos are at floating interest rates tied to the London Inter Bank Offering Rate ("LIBOR"), of which the weighted average rate was 3.69% at December 31, 2005. The terms of the repos are 10 to 15 years. The private entities have the right to terminate repos totaling $100.0 million in two years, repos totaling $50.0 million quarterly after the third year, and the remaining repo totaling $25.0 million in five years. If the agreements are not terminated, the rates become fixed ranging from 3.85% to 4.25% for the respective remaining terms.

Note 8 – Long-Term Debt

As of December 31, 2005, $124.8 million of subordinated notes issued by the Bank, bearing a fixed interest rate of 6.875%, were outstanding. The notes were issued in 1999 under the Bank's $1.0 billion note program and mature in 2009. Under the terms of this program, the Bank may issue additional notes provided that at any time the aggregate amount outstanding does not exceed $1.0 billion.

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (the "FHLB"). The Bank may borrow funds from the FHLB in amounts that equal up to 15% of the Bank's total assets, provided the Bank is able to pledge an adequate amount of qualified assets to secure the borrowing. The Bank is required to hold FHLB stock as a condition of membership. As of December 31, 2005, the Bank held $60.9 million of FHLB stock.

FHLB advances of $77.5 million were outstanding at December 31, 2005. The advances bear interest at rates ranging from 3.2% to 5.69% and mature from 2006 through 2010. At December 31, 2005, mortgage loans totaling $93.4 million were pledged as collateral.

Bancorp Hawaii Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), a grantor trust wholly-owned by the Company, issued $100.0 million 8.25% Capital Securities (the "Securities"). The Securities bear a cumulative fixed interest rate of 8.25% and mature on December 15, 2026. Interest payments are semi-annual. The Company is subject to an expense agreement with the Trust obligating the Company to pay any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Trust, other than obligations of the Trust to pay amounts due pursuant to the terms of the Securities. The sole assets of the Trust are Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (the "Debt") issued by the Company to the Trust. The Debt is redeemable prior to the stated maturity at the Company's option. The Securities are subject to mandatory redemption upon repayment of the related Debt at their stated maturity dates, or their earlier redemption at a redemption price equal to their liquidation amount plus accrued distributions to the date fixed for redemption and the premium, if any, paid by the Company upon concurrent repayment of the related Debt. The Securities are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Trust at any time on or after December 15, 2006. The redemption price for the securities is equal to 104.125% for the 12-month period beginning December 15, 2006 and gradually decreases each year to 100% if redeemed on or after December 15, 2016. The Company has issued guarantees for the payment of distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of the Securities, but only to the extent of funds held by the Trust. The guarantees are junior subordinated obligations of the Company. Distributions to securities holders may be deferred for up to five consecutive years. During any such deferral period the Company's ability to pay dividends on its common shares will be restricted. The Federal Reserve has announced that certain cumulative preferred securities having the characteristics of the Securities qualify as capital, and therefore are included in Tier 1 capital for BHCs. The Company repurchased $68.6 million of the Securities in 2002. No repurchases were made in 2005, 2004 or 2003.

Capitalized lease obligations relate to office space at the headquarters of the Company. The lease began in 1993 and has a 60 year term. Lease payments are fixed at $0.6 million per year through 2007, $0.7 million per year from 2008 to 2012 and are negotiable thereafter.

As of December 31, 2005, future principal payments on long-term debt, excluding the capital lease obligation, are expected to be:

Note 9 – Shareholders' Equity

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Tier 1 and Total capital. Tier 1 capital is common shareholders' equity plus qualifying capital securities, reduced by unrealized gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income and certain intangible assets. Total capital is Tier 1 capital plus qualifying subordinated debt and allowable allowance for loan and lease losses. Three capital ratios are used to measure capital adequacy: Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets, as defined; Total capital divided by risk-weighted assets; and the leverage ratio, which is Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average total assets.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company and the Bank were well capitalized as defined in the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There were no conditions or events since year-end that management believes have changed the Company's or the Bank's capital ratings.

The table below sets forth the minimum required capital for well capitalized institutions and the actual capital amounts and ratios for the Company and the Bank at December 31, 2005 and 2004:

Federal Reserve Board regulations require the Bank to maintain reserve balances based on the amount of deposits held. The required reserve balance was $31.0 million and $29.6 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Bank is subject to federal and state regulatory restrictions that limit cash dividends and loans to the Company. These restrictions generally require advanced approval from the Bank's regulator for payment of dividends in excess of earnings for the prior three years. No special dividends were paid in 2005, while $66.0 million in special dividends were paid in 2004 by the Bank. Because of these special dividends, which were used by the Company for share repurchases, advanced approval is required for future dividends. Such approval was granted for an amount up to the

63



level of the Bank's income for 2005, subject to the absence of any adverse material change in the Bank's financial condition. This same approval has been granted for 2006.

During 2005, the Company's Board of Directors increased the authorization under the share repurchase program by an additional $200.0 million. The authorizations, combined with the Company's previously announced authorizations of $1.15 billion, brought the total authorized repurchase amount to $1.35 billion. Shares repurchased under this program were held in treasury stock for reissue in connection with stock compensation plans and for general corporate purposes. In 2005, the Company retired 25.0 million shares of treasury stock. The Company repurchased 5.1 million shares during both 2005 and 2004 and 9.7 million shares during 2003 under this program. From the beginning of the share repurchase program in July 2001 through December 31, 2005, the Company repurchased a total of 40.0 million shares and returned a total of $1.33 billion to its shareholders at an average cost of $33.31 per share. Remaining buyback authority was $18.0 million at December 31, 2005. In January 2006, an additional authorization of $100.0 million was approved by the Board of Directors. From January 1, 2006 through February 17, 2006, the Company repurchased an additional 0.4 million shares at an average cost of $52.73 per share for a total of $20.5 million. Remaining buyback authority was $97.5 million at February 17, 2006.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings arising out of normal course of business or operations. Based on current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes current reserves determined in accordance with SFAS No. 5 are adequate and the amount of an incremental liability arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Note 11 – Employee Benefits

Defined Contribution Plans

The Bank of Hawaii Retirement Savings Plan ("Savings Plan") has three Company contribution components: 1) 401(k) matching; 2) a 3% fixed amount based on eligible compensation; and 3) a discretionary value sharing contribution. Under the 401(k) component, participating employees may contribute up to 50% of their eligible compensation (within federal limits) to the Savings Plan. The Company makes matching contributions on behalf of participants each calendar quarter equal to $1.25 for each $1.00 contributed by participants, up to 2% of the participants' eligible compensation, and $0.50 for every $1.00 contributed by participants over 2% up to 5% of the participants' eligible compensation. A 3% fixed contribution and a discretionary value sharing contribution that is linked to the Company's financial goals are made regardless of whether the member contributes to the Savings Plan under the 401(k) and are invested in accordance with the participant's selection of investment options available under the Savings Plan. The Company also has a non-qualified Savings Plan which covers certain employees for amounts exceeding the limits under the Savings Plan. Total expense under all Savings Plans was $12.4 million in 2005, $12.1 million in 2004 and $11.5 million in 2003.

Defined Benefit Plans (Pension Plans)

In 1995, the Company froze its non-contributory, qualified defined benefit retirement plan ("Retirement Plan") and excess retirement plan ("Excess Plan"), which covered employees of the Company and participating subsidiaries who met certain eligibility requirements. Beginning December 31, 2000, the Retirement Plan no longer provided for compensation increases in the determination of benefits.

Retirement Plan assets primarily consist of a collective investment fund and marketable securities including stocks, U.S. government treasury and agency securities, corporate bonds, a money market fund and mutual funds. The assets of the Retirement Plan include investments in a Bank of Hawaii collective investment fund and securities of related parties (Pacific Capital Funds mutual funds). The Asset Management Group of the Bank, an SEC registered investment adviser, serves as investment advisor to the Pacific Capital Funds family of mutual funds. The Bank manages the Bank of Hawaii collective investment fund. The fair value of securities of related parties was $24.7 million and $22.9 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Excess Plan is a non-qualified excess retirement benefit plan which covers certain employees of the Company and participating subsidiaries for amounts exceeding the limits allowed under the Retirement Plan. The Excess Plan has no plan assets. The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and accrued benefit liability each totaled $5.9 million as of December 31, 2005 and $5.8 million as of December 31, 2004.

Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company's postretirement benefit plan provides retirees with life, dental and medical insurance coverage. The retiree life insurance benefit for participants who retired after 2003 was terminated as of December 31, 2003, which resulted in a curtailment gain of $2.5 million in 2003. Employees who were retired as of December 31, 2003 are still eligible for the life insurance benefits. The costs of providing postretirement benefits are "shared costs" where both the employer and former employees pay a portion of the premium. Most employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who have met the eligibility requirements are covered by this plan. The Company recognizes the transition obligation over 20 years, ending in 2013. The Company has no segregated assets to provide postretirement benefits.

The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for all its plans.

The following table sets forth the change in benefit obligation, change in fair value of plan assets, funded status and net amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Condition for the aggregated pension plans (Retirement Plan and Excess Plan) and postretirement benefit plan for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Participants' contributions relative to the Postretirement Benefits Plan are offset against employer benefits paid in the above table. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, participants' contributions for postretirement benefits totaled $1,151,000 and $1,105,000, respectively.

At December 31, 2005, the accumulated benefit obligations for the aggregated pension plans exceeded the fair value of Plan Assets. Included in other comprehensive income was a charge of $2.4 million, net of deferred taxes, related to this obligation. The accumulated benefit obligation for the pension plans was $82.7 million and $76.1 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

  Discount Rate   5.75%   6.00%   5.75%   6.00%
  Health Care Cost Trend Rate Assumed For Next Year       8.00%   9.00%

The health care cost trend rate assumption will decrease by 1% annually, until reaching the ultimate trend rate of 5% in 2009.

The Company employs a building block approach in determining the long-term rate of return for plan assets. Historical markets are studied and long-term historical relationships between equities and fixed-income are preserved consistent with the widely accepted capital market principle that assets with higher volatility generate a greater return over the long run. Current market factors such as inflation and interest rates are evaluated before long-term capital market assumptions are determined. The long-term portfolio return is established with proper consideration of diversification and rebalancing. Peer data and historical returns are reviewed for reasonableness and appropriateness.

Assumptions used to determine the net periodic benefit or cost for the aggregated pension plans and postretirement benefit plan for years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

The Benefit Plans Committee of the Company provides oversight of the Retirement Plan's investment objective, which is to provide its participants with retirement income and to assist retirees in coping with inflation. To achieve this goal, the Benefit Plans Committee seeks a return on investment which will enhance the purchasing power of the principal amount of these assets over the long term through capital appreciation and reinvestment of income. The Benefit Plans Committee seeks a compounded annual total rate of return greater than the return of the "Market Index" or 400 basis points above the return of 90-day Treasury Bills, whichever is higher, on a trailing three year basis. The "Market Index" is composed of 60% S&P 500, 15% Russell 2000 Index, and 25% Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index. The Benefit Plans Committee also seeks to protect the Retirement Plan assets through prudent asset allocation, manager selection and periodic review. Investments in stocks and fixed income investments should be diversified in a way that is consistent with the risk tolerance and investment objective of the Retirement Plan.

The percentages of the Retirement Plan assets by major category, based upon their fair values, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

Note 12 – Stock Compensation

Director Stock Compensation Program

The Company has a Director Stock Compensation Program that annually grants shares of restricted common stock ("Restricted Shares") and options to purchase common shares to each non-employee director. The exercise price of the options is based on the closing market price of the shares on the date that the options were granted. The Restricted Shares and the options are generally not transferable.

The options granted in 2005 vest ratably over three years and expire the earliest of 1) three months after termination of the Director's membership on the Board for any reason other than death or disability; 2) one year after termination of the Director's membership on the Board due to death or disability; or 3) ten years after the grant date. The Restricted Shares vest after three years or upon death or disability, if earlier.

Options granted prior to 2005 are immediately exercisable and expire ten years from the date of grant. However, the shares received upon exercise of the options ("Option Shares") are restricted. The restriction period for both Restricted Shares and Option Shares continues as long as the Director remains on the Board. If an optionee ceases to serve as a director prior to the end of his or her term, for any reason other than death, disability or change in control of the Company, the Option Shares will be redeemed by the Company at the exercise price and any unexercised options and restricted shares are forfeited.

At December 31, 2005, 223,427 options and 32,205 Restricted Shares were outstanding under this program.

Employee Stock Option Plan

The Company's Stock Option Plans (the "Plans") are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards under the Plans may include stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock and restricted stock units.

Stock Options

Stock options provide grantees with the option to purchase shares of common stock at a specified exercise price and, generally, expire ten years from the date of grant. Stock option grants include incentive and nonqualified stock options whose vesting may be based on a service period and/or Company performance measures. Generally, grants issued prior to December 2005 had vesting terms of one or three years. Options granted in December 2005 were vested as of December 31, 2005. The exercise prices are equal to the fair market value of the shares on the dates the options were granted.

69



In December 2005, the Company vested all employee stock options. The options would have vested in future periods based on completion of service. The accelerated vesting precluded the recognition of stock compensation expense related to these options in future periods that would have been recognized as a result of the implementation of SFAS No. 123(R). The accelerated vesting resulted in an expense of approximately $117,000 in 2005.

Consists of restricted shares and stock options. The authority to grant options under the 1994 employee stock option plan expired on December 31, 2003. In 2004, shareholders approved a new employee stock plan which increased the shares available for future grants.

Restricted Stock

Restricted Stock provides grantees with rights to shares of stock upon completion of a service period or achievement of Company performance measures. During the restriction period, all shares are considered outstanding and dividends are paid on the Restricted Stock. The Restricted Stock vests over periods ranging from three to ten years from date of grant, although accelerated vesting was provided in certain grants, based on attainment of defined Company performance measures. The Company recognizes compensation expense, measured as the quoted market price of the Restricted Stock on the grant date, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for service period vesting, plus additional recognition of the cost associated with accelerated vesting based upon projected attainment of the

70



performance measures. The unamortized compensation is shown as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Restricted Stock is cancelled if an employee terminates prior to the vesting of the stock. Total compensation expense recognized by the Company for Restricted Stock was $4.2 million, $5.6 million and $5.8 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Approximately 39,000 shares of Restricted Stock vested in January 2006 due to the achievement of certain Company performance targets in 2005.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") entitle grantees to a cash payment based upon the fair market value of the Company's stock at the time the award vests. During the vesting period, the participant is entitled to dividend equivalent payments equal to the actual dividends declared on the Company's stock. All expense associated with RSUs is considered compensation expense and is recognized over the vesting period. The primary RSU grant was made in 2003. Under this grant, upon the achievement of certain performance objectives, 50% of the grant vested April 30, 2004 and the remaining 50% vested March 31, 2005. For certain grantees the original award entitled them to a supplemental cash payment after the vesting based upon the achievement of certain performance objectives. Total expense recognized by the Company for RSUs in 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $1.8 million, $7.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

The tax effects of fair value adjustments on available for sale investment securities, minimum pension liability adjustments and tax benefits related to stock options are recorded directly in shareholders' equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The net tax charge (benefit) recorded directly to shareholders' equity was $9.5 million in 2005, $(48.6) million in 2004 and $4.2 million in 2003.

The current income tax provision included taxes on realized gains and losses on the sale of securities of $0.1 million, $(0.3) million and $0.7 million for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The 2004 deferred tax liabilities and assets were reclassified based on the 2004 filed tax returns. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 are presented below:

For financial statement purposes, no deferred income tax liability was recorded for tax related to bad debt reserves that arose in tax years beginning before December 31, 1987. Such tax bad debt reserves totaled approximately $18.2 million. If these amounts are used for purposes other than to absorb bad debt losses, they will be subject to federal income taxes at the then applicable rates.

Note 14 – Derivatives

The Company is a party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of its business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to manage its own exposure to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. These financial instruments have been limited to foreign exchange contracts, interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loan forward sales commitments.

SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires derivative instruments to be carried at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company did not designate any derivative instruments as fair value, cash flow or net investment in foreign operations hedges. Hedges, free-standing and embedded derivatives required to be bifurcated, have been recorded at fair value in the Company's results of operations.

The Company utilizes foreign exchange contracts to offset risks related to transactions executed on behalf of customers.

The Company also enters into forward contracts for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans to reduce interest rate risk associated with loans held for sale and commitments to fund loans at a specified rate (interest rate locks). Interest rate lock commitments for residential mortgage loans that the Company intends to sell are considered free-standing derivatives. The forward commitments and free-standing derivatives are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a part of mortgage banking component of non-interest income. The Company records a zero fair value for a derivative loan commitment at inception. Changes subsequent to inception are based on changes in fair value of the underlying loan resulting from the exercise of the commitment and changes in the probability that the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment, which is affected primarily by changes in interest rates and passage of time.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, no interest rate swaps were in effect.

As with any financial instrument, derivative instruments have inherent risks. Adverse changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices affect the Company's market risks. The market risks are balanced with the expected returns to enhance earnings performance and shareholder value, while limiting the volatility of each. The Company uses various processes to monitor its overall market risk exposure, including sensitivity analysis, value-at-risk calculations and other methodologies.

The Company's exposure to derivative credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss due to the failure of the counterparty to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. Credit risks associated with derivative financial instruments are similar to those relating to traditional on-balance sheet financial instruments. The Company manages derivative credit risk with the same standards and procedures applied to its commercial lending activity.

Note 15 – Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale. When possible, fair values are measured based on quoted market prices for the same or comparable instruments. Because many of the Company's financial instruments lack an available market price, management must use its best judgment in estimating the fair value of those instruments based on present value or other valuation techniques. Such techniques are significantly affected by estimates and assumptions, including the discount rate, future cash flows, economic conditions, risk characteristics and other relevant factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertain assumptions and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Many of the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents:    The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Condition for cash and short-term investments approximated the fair value of these assets.

Available for Sale and Held to Maturity Investment Securities:    Fair values for investment securities were based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices were not available, fair values were based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans:    Fair values of loans were determined by discounting the expected future cash flows of pools of loans with similar characteristics. Loans were first segregated by type such as commercial, real estate and consumer, and were then further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate and loan quality categories. Expected future cash flows were projected based on contractual cash flows, adjusted for estimated prepayments.

Deposit Liabilities:    Fair values of non-interest bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits were equal to the amount payable on demand (e.g., their carrying amounts) because these products have no stated maturity. Fair values of time deposits were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rates used were based on rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings:    The carrying amounts of repos, funds purchased, commercial paper and other short-term borrowings approximated their fair values.

Long-Term Debt:    Fair values of long-term debt were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowings.

Financial Instruments:    Fair values of financial instruments (e.g., commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, commercial letters of credit, interest rate locks, foreign exchange and mortgage loan forward contracts) were based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the

74



agreements and the counterparties' credit standing and current settlement values or quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of the terms or conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since commitments may expire without being drawn, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support borrowing agreements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds cash and deposits as collateral on those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

Note 17 – Business Segments

Business segment results are determined based on the Company's internal financial management reporting process and organizational structure. This process uses various techniques to assign balance sheet and income statement amounts to business segments, including allocations of overhead, Provision and capital. This process is dynamic and requires certain allocations based on judgment and subjective factors. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for management accounting that is equivalent to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The management accounting process measures the performance of the operating segments based on the management structure of the Company and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution. Previously reported results have been reclassified to conform to the current organizational reporting structure.

The Company's business segments are as follows:

Retail Banking

The Company's Retail Banking segment offers a broad range of financial products and services to consumers and small businesses. Loan and lease products include residential mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, automobile loans and leases and installment loans. Deposit products include checking, savings and time deposit accounts. The Retail Banking segment also provides merchant services to its small business customers. Products and services from the Retail Banking segment are delivered to customers through 72 Hawaii branch locations, over 500 ATMs, e-Bankoh (on-line banking service) and a 24-hour telephone banking service. Also included in the segment is Bankoh Investment Services, Inc., a full service brokerage offering equities and bonds, mutual funds, life insurance and annuity products.

76



Commercial Banking

The Commercial Banking segment offers products including corporate banking and commercial real estate loans, lease financing, auto dealer financing, deposit and cash management products, and property and casualty insurance products. Lending, deposit and cash management services are offered to middle-market and large companies in Hawaii. Commercial real estate mortgages are focused on customers that include investors, developers and builders primarily domiciled in Hawaii. The Commercial Banking unit also includes the Company's operations at its 12 branches in the Pacific Islands.

Investment Services Group

The Investment Services Group includes private banking, trust services, asset management and institutional investment advice. A significant portion of this segment's income is derived from fees, which are generally based on the market values of assets under management. The private banking and personal trust group assists individuals and families in building and preserving their wealth by providing investment, credit and trust expertise to high-net-worth individuals. The asset management group manages portfolios and creates investment products. Institutional sales and service offers investment advice to corporations, government entities and foundations.

Treasury and Other Corporate

The primary income earning component of this segment is Treasury, which consists of corporate asset and liability management activities, including interest rate risk management and foreign exchange business. This segment's assets and liabilities (and related interest income and expense) consist of interest-bearing deposits, investment securities, funds sold and purchased, government deposits and short- and long-term borrowings. The primary sources of non-interest income are bank-owned life insurance and foreign exchange income related to customer driven currency requests from merchants and island visitors. The net residual effect of transfer pricing of assets and liabilities is included in Treasury, along with eliminations of inter-company transactions.

This segment also includes divisions (Technology and Operations, Human Resources, Finance, Credit and Risk Management, and Corporate and Regulatory Administration) that provide a wide-range of support to the other business segments. Expenses incurred by these support units are charged to the business segments through an internal cost allocation process. Results for this segment in 2003 include the majority of the System Replacement Project costs.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of December 31, 2005. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Internal control is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and board of directors regarding the preparation of reliable published financial statements. Internal control over financial reporting includes self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.

Because of inherent limitations in any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected, including the possibility of the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time.

Management assessed the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal Control – Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer assert that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 based on the specified criteria.

Management's assessment of the effectiveness in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm who also audited the Company's financial statements. Ernst & Young LLP's attestation report on management's assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Bank of Hawaii Corporation

We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Bank of Hawaii Corporation and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Bank of Hawaii Corporation and subsidiaries' management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management's assessment that Bank of Hawaii Corporation and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Bank of Hawaii Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statements of condition of Bank of Hawaii Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 and our report dated February 22, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, of each such series may differ from those of any and all other series of Preferred Stock at any time outstanding, and the Board is hereby expressly granted authority to fix or alter, by resolution or resolutions, the designation, number, voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of each such series, including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following:


        C.    (1) After the provisions with respect to preferential dividends on any series of Preferred Stock (fixed in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph B of this Article V), if any, shall have been satisfied and after the Corporation shall have complied with all the requirements, if any, with respect to redemption of, or the setting aside of sums as sinking funds or redemption or purchase accounts with respect to, any series of Preferred Stock (fixed in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph B of this Article V), and subject further to any other conditions that may be fixed in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph B of this Article V, then and not otherwise the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board.


ARTICLE VI
INCORPORATOR

        The name and mailing address of the incorporator are Mark A. Morton, 1201 Market St., Suite 1500, Wilmington, DE 19801.

ARTICLE VII
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        A.    The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be conducted and managed by, or under the direction of, the Board. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article V of this Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors, the total number of directors constituting the entire Board shall be not less than three (3) nor more than fifteen (15), with the then-authorized number of directors being fixed from time to time by or pursuant to a resolution passed by a majority of the then-authorized number of directors. The initial Board shall consist of eleven (11) members.

        B.    The Board, other than those directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock as provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article V of this Certificate of Incorporation, shall be divided into three classes to be designated Class I, Class II and Class III and to be as nearly equal in number as possible. The initial directors of each class shall be named by the incorporator. The terms of the initial Class I directors shall expire at the 1999 annual meeting of stockholders, the terms of the initial Class II directors shall expire at the 2000 annual meeting of stockholders and the terms of the initial Class III directors shall expire at the 2001 annual meeting of stockholders. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders beginning in 1999, successors to the class of directors whose terms expire at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible.

        C.    Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article V of this Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors, and subject to the provisions hereof, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, and any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal, or other cause, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or in which the vacancy occurred, and until such director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, subject to his earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

        D.    During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock have the right to elect additional directors as provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article V of this Certificate of Incorporation, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions, and (ii) each such additional director shall serve until such director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director's right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the Board in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all



such additional directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate and the total and authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall be reduced accordingly.

        E.    Except for such additional directors, if any, as are elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock as provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article V of this Certificate of Incorporation, any director may be removed from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Voting Stock at a meeting of stockholders called for that purpose, voting together as a single class.

ARTICLE VIII
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

        A.    Meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws of the Corporation may provide. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article V of this Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the President or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the then-authorized number of directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that where such special meeting of stockholders is called for the purpose of acting upon a proposal made by or on behalf of a Related Person or, at any time that one or more Related Persons exist, by or at the request of a director who is not a Continuing Director as to all Related Persons, or where a Related Person otherwise seeks action requiring approval of stockholders, then, in addition to the aforesaid vote of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Continuing Directors, if any, shall also be required to call such special meeting of stockholders. Special meetings of stockholders may not be called by any other person or persons or in any other manner. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

        B.    In addition to the powers conferred on the Board by this Certificate of Incorporation and by the General Corporation Law, and without limiting the generality thereof, the Board is specifically authorized from time to time, by resolution of the Board without additional authorization by the stockholders of the Corporation, to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation, in such form and with such terms as the Board may determine, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bylaws relating to (i) regulation of the procedure for submission by stockholders of nominations of persons to be elected to the Board, (ii) regulation of the attendance at annual or special meetings of the stockholders of persons other than holders of record or their proxies, and (iii) regulation of the business that may properly be brought by a stockholder of the Corporation before an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation.

ARTICLE IX
STOCKHOLDER CONSENT

        Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article V of this Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, no action required to be taken or that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, and the power of the stockholders of the Corporation to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied.

ARTICLE X
FACTORS TO CONSIDER

        The Board, when evaluating any proposed transaction that would result in a person or entity becoming a Related Person, or in a Related Person increasing his ownership of capital stock of the Corporation, or any transaction or any proposed transaction with any other party, whether or not such



other party is a Related Person, that would constitute a Business Combination if the other party to the transaction were or would thereby become a Related Person, may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, give due consideration to the independence and integrity of the Corporation's operations, and the social, economic and environmental effects on the stockholders, employees, customers, suppliers and other constituents of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and on the communities in which the Corporation and its Subsidiaries operate or are located or that they serve.

ARTICLE XI
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

        A director of this Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the General Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

        Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing hereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE XII
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

        The Board, pursuant to the Bylaws of the Corporation or by resolution passed by a majority of the then-authorized number of directors, may designate any of their number to constitute an Executive Committee, which Executive Committee, to the fullest extent permitted by law and provided for in said resolution or in the Bylaws of the Corporation, shall have and may exercise all of the powers of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and shall have power to authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it.

ARTICLE XIII
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

        A.    In addition to any affirmative vote required by law, and except as otherwise expressly provided in Paragraph B of this Article XIII, a Business Combination shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class. Such affirmative vote shall be required notwithstanding the fact that no vote may be required, or that some lesser percentage may be specified, by law or in any agreement with any national securities exchange or otherwise.

        B.    The provisions of Paragraph A of this Article XIII shall not be applicable to any particular Business Combination, and such Business Combination shall require only such affirmative vote as is required by law and any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, if there are one or more Continuing Directors then in office and if such Business Combination has been approved by the Board by (i) the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the then-authorized number of directors and (ii) the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Continuing Directors then in office.

ARTICLE XIV
AMENDMENT OF CORPORATE DOCUMENTS

        A.    Certificate of Incorporation.    In addition to any affirmative vote required by applicable law and in addition to any vote of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article V of this Certificate of Incorporation, any alteration, amendment, repeal or rescission (a "Change") of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation must be approved by at least a majority of the then authorized number of directors and by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that if any such Change relates to Articles II, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI or XIII hereof or to this Article XIV, such Change must also be approved by the


affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class and, if at the time there exist one or more Related Persons, such Change must also be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the combined voting power of the Disinterested Shares; provided further, however, that the vote(s) required by the immediately preceding proviso shall not be required if such Change has been first approved by at least two-thirds of the then authorized number of directors and, if at the time there exist one or more Related Persons, by a majority of the Continuing Directors then in office, if any.

        Subject to the provisions hereof, the Corporation reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to amend, alter, repeal or rescind any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law, and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law; and all rights, preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the rights reserved in this article.

        B.    Bylaws.    In addition to any affirmative vote required by law, any Change of the Bylaws of the Corporation may be adopted either (i) by the Board by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the then-authorized number of directors and, if at the time there exist one or more Related Persons, by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Continuing Directors then in office, if any, or (ii) by the stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class and, if at the time there exist one or more Related Persons, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the combined voting power of the Disinterested Shares.

AMENDMENT OF PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO REDUCE THE PERCENTAGE
OF SHARES REQUIRED TO REMOVE A DIRECTOR FOR CAUSE

        Pacific Century's Board of Directors has approved, and recommends that shareholders approve, an amendment to Article VII, Section E of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the percentage required to remove a director for cause from sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) of the outstanding shares, to a majority of the voting power of then outstanding shares. This is intended to increase the power of shareholders to remove a director for cause.

        Section 1.2.    Special Meetings.    Special meetings of stockholders may be called only in accordance with ARTICLE VIII of the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation.

        Section 1.3.    Notice of Meetings.    Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given that shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation.

        Section 1.4.    Adjournments.    Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

        Section 1.5.    Quorum.    Except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws, at each meeting of stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of one-third of the shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 1.4 of these by-laws until a quorum shall attend.

        Section 1.6.    Organization.    Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the Vice Chair of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the President, or in his absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting.

        Section 1.7.    Voting; Proxies.    Except as otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stock-holders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by him which has voting power upon the matter in question. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and



only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by delivering a proxy in accordance with applicable law bearing a later date to the Secretary of the corporation. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot. At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. All other elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws, be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon.

        Section 1.8.    Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record.    In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date: (1) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting; and (2) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than sixty days prior to such other action.

        If no record date is fixed: (1) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (2) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

        Section 1.9.    List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote.    The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. Upon the willful neglect or refusal of the directors to produce such a list at any meet-ing for the election of directors, they shall be ineligible for election to any office at such meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list of stockholders or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

        Section 1.10.    Inspectors of Election.    The corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election, who may be employees of the corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.



        The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors' count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, the inspectors my consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

        Section 1.11.    Conduct of Meetings.    The Board of Directors of the corporation may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may in-clude, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accor-dance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

        Section 1.12.    Notice of Business and Nominations.    To be properly brought before any stockholders' meeting, business and nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board or the President or a majority of the whole Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before such meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before such meeting by a stockholder or stockholders who was a stockholder or were stockholders, respec-tively, of record at the time of giving notice provided for in this By-Law, who is entitled to vote for the election of Directors at such meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this By-Law.

        For business to be properly brought before any stockholders' meeting by a stockholder or stockholders, the stockholder or stockholders must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder's or stockholders' notice shall be delivered to or received at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than eighty (80) days nor earlier than ninety (90) days prior to (a) in the case of a special meeting called by such stockholder or stockholders, the date the stockholder has, or the stockholders have, as applicable, selected for such special meeting, and (b) in the case of an annual meeting, the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by such stockholder or stockholders to be timely must be so received by the Secretary of the corporation (i) not later than the close of business on the later of the eightieth (80th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made by the corporation and (ii) not earlier than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting. In the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the corporation is increased and there is no public announcement by the corporation naming all of the nominees for



director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's or stockholders' notice required by this By-Law shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation. In the event the corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the corporation's notice of meeting, if the stockholder's notice required by this By-Law shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation (i) not later than the close of business on the later of the eightieth (80th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting and (ii) not earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of a meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described above.

        A stockholder's notice to the Secretary of the corporation shall set forth as to each matter that the stockholder proposes to bring before such meeting (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 14a-11 thereunder (including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before such meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at such meeting of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (c) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf such nomination or proposal of business is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of the securities of the corporation that are beneficially owned by such stockholder and such beneficial owner; and (d) any material interest of such stockholder and such beneficial owner in such nomination and such business.

        Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that the nomination or business that the stockholder proposes to bring before such meeting was not properly brought before such meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting, and the defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.

        For purposes of this By-Law:


        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-Law, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this By-Law. Nothing in this By-Law shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors under specified circumstances.

        l.      Purpose.    The purpose of this Plan, which takes effect as of April 27, 1983, is to assure Bancorp Hawaii, Inc. ("Bancorp") that it will have the continued dedication of, and the availability of objective advice and counsel from, key executives of Bancorp and its subsidiary, Bank of Hawaii, notwithstanding the possibility or occurrence of a bid to take over control of Bancorp. In the event that Bancorp receives any such bids, the Board of Directors believes it imperative that Bancorp and its shareholders be able to rely upon such key executives to continue in their positions so that business will be unaffected and such key executives will be available to advise, if asked, as to whether such bids would be in the best interests of Bancorp and its shareholders, and to take such actions as the Board might deem appropriate, without concern that those individuals might be distracted by the personal uncertainties and risks created by such a bid.

        2.     Plan Participants.    Participants under this Plan shall consist of those executives of Bancorp and its subsidiary, Bank of Hawaii (the "Bank"), who are from time to time designated by the Board of Directors (acting on the advice of the Compensation Committee of the Board) as "key executives" to be included within this Plan. A Participant whom the Board determines has ceased to be a "key executive" for purposes of this Plan shall cease to be a Participant in the Plan when notified in writing by the Board of such determination; provided, however, a determination that a Participant has ceased to be such a key executive may not be made, and if made shall have no effect, (i) during any period of time when Bancorp has knowledge that any third party has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control (as defined herein) until, in the opinion of the Board, such third party has abandoned or terminated its efforts to effect a change of control or (ii) within two years after a Change of Control.

        3.     Severance Agreements.    A Severance Agreement shall be executed by Bancorp and each Participant and shall provide for the following benefits in the event of termination of the Participant's employment with Bancorp or the Bank for any reason (whether voluntary or involuntary, other than as a consequence of death, disability, or retirement at or after the normal retirement date under the Employees' Retirement Plan of Bank of Hawaii (the "Retirement Plan")) within two years after a Change of Control: (i) a cash payment will be mace in an amount equal to three times the Participant's highest compensation (consisting of salary, bonuses and incentive compensation) paid or payable for any 12 consecutive month period during the three years immediately preceding such termination; (ii) special, unfunded, nonqualified retirement benefits for those Participants who would have qualified for benefits under the Retirement Plan if they had remained in the employ of Bancorp or the Bank for an additional period of three years; (iii) other fringe benefits which the Executive received immediately prior to such termination will be continued, or equivalent benefits will be provided, for a period of three years following termination; and (iv) such other arrangements will be made as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

        4.     Options and Rights.    In the event of a Change of Control of Bancorp, outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights, if any, will become immediately exercisable for a period of 30 days following the date of such Change of Control.

        5.     Additional Terms.    The Severance Agreement to be entered into pursuant to this Plan may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

        6.     Non-Assignability.    Each Participant's rights under this Plan shall be non-transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

1



        7.     Definition of Change of Control.    A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have taken place if: (i) any person, including a "group" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, becomes the beneficial owner of shares of stock of Bancorp having 25% or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors of Bancorp; or (ii) as a result of, or in connection with, any cash tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sale of assets or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, the persons who were directors of Bancorp before the transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of Bancorp or any successor to Bancorp; or (iii) a majority of the Board of Directors determines in good faith that a "Change of Control" is imminent.

        8.     Plan Funding.    The Plan shall not be funded. Neither Bancorp nor the Board of Directors shall be required to segregate any assets with respect to benefits under the Plan. Neither Bancorp nor the Directors shall be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid under the Plan. Any liability of Bancorp to any Participant with respect to any benefit shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations created by the Plan and the related Severance Agreement, and no obligation under the Plan shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or any encumbrance on any property of Bancorp, the Bank, or any subsidiary of either.

        9.     Termination and Amendment of this Plan.    The Board of Directors of Bancorp shall have power at any time, in its discretion, to amend or terminate this Plan, in whole or in part; provided, however, that no amendment or termination shall alter the obligations of Bancorp under any Severance Agreement previously entered into pursuant to this Plan.

ARTICLE 4.    ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION.

        4.1.    Eligibility.    Eligible Employees of PCFC or any Subsidiary shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

        4.2.    Participation.    Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time and at its sole discretion, designate the Eligible Employees who shall be Participants and receive grants of Contingent Awards under the Plan.

ARTICLE 5.    CONTINGENT AWARDS.

        5.1.    Grant.    The Committee may, from time to time and at its sole discretion, make a grant of a Contingent Award to each Participant. The Contingent Award for any Participant shall be an amount or range of amounts (expressed either in dollars or as percentages of Salary for the Performance Period). The Committee shall cause notice to be given to each Participant of his or her participation under the Plan.

        In the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Awards to Named Executive Officers which do not qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Code Section 162(m).

        5.2.    Incentive Pool.    In the case of a Contingent Award to a Named Executive Officer which is intended by the Committee to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Contingent Award shall be determined by the Committee by the end of the first quarter of the applicable Performance Period and shall not exceed a percent of the Incentive Pool for the Performance Period specified by the Committee.

The aggregate of Contingent Awards made to Named Executives for a Performance Period that are intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception shall not exceed the Incentive Pool for the Performance Period. The Committee may, but need not, grant such Contingent Awards up to the full amount of the Incentive Pool.

        5.3.    Value.    A Contingent Award shall be of no immediate and certain value, and rather the amount payable to a Participant with respect to a Contingent Award for any given Performance Period shall be the Final Award as determined under Article 6.

ARTICLE 6.    DETERMINATION AND PAYMENT OF FINAL AWARDS.

        6.1.    Determination of Final Awards.    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the Committee shall determine the Final Award to be paid to each Participant. Each Participant's performance during the Performance Period shall be assessed by the Participant's manager, who shall make a recommendation of Final Award to the Chief Executive Officer of PCFC. The Chief Executive Officer shall thereafter also assess each Participant's performance during the Performance Period and shall make a recommendation of Final Award to the Committee. However, the determination of Final Award for a Participant shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee. In this regard, the Committee may follow the recommendation by the

3


Chief Executive Officer or may make a lesser or greater Final Award, taking into account the Participant's overall contribution to PCFC and its Subsidiaries for the Performance Period, the corporate performance of PCFC and its Subsidiaries for the Performance Period, and such other criteria as the Committee may determine to promote the objectives of the Plan in an individual case. The Committee may determine the amount of any Final Award to a Participant without regard to the amount of the Participant's Contingent Award. Except as otherwise provided in the case of a Change in Control or other event as described in Article 10, the Committee may modify or repeal the Contingent Award of any Participant at any time before the determination of the Participant's Final Award. However, in the case of a Contingent Award which is designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception with respect to a Named Executive Officer, the Final Award shall not result in an upward adjustment of the Contingent Award to an amount greater than the maximum percent of the Incentive Pool determined pursuant to Article 5.2 (although the Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such the Contingent Award downward).

        6.2.    Maximum Awards.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the maximum aggregate payout with respect to a Contingent Award granted in any one Plan Year to any one Participant shall be $2,000,000.

        6.3.    Payment.    Payment of Final Awards shall be made in a single lump sum as soon practicable following the close of the applicable Performance Period and the determination of the Final Awards.

        However, a Participant may make a request, on a form approved by the Committee, for the deferral of all or part of any payment he or she may receive, provided that such request is delivered to the Human Resources Division no later than November 1 of the Performance Period. The Committee may accept or reject any such request for a deferral and may determine the conditions of such deferral at the Committee's sole discretion.

        Payment of Final Awards shall be made normally in the form of cash. However, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for payment of Final Awards in the form of PCFC stock, restricted stock or nonqualified stock options.

        6.4.    Participation During Performance Period.    Unless determined otherwise by the Committee and set forth in the Participant's Award Agreement, in the event that an Eligible Employee's participation commences or terminates (for reason other than a termination of employment as described in Article 7) mid- term during a Performance Period, the Participant shall receive a payout of the Award which is prorated in a manner determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE 7.    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

        7.1.    Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability, or Retirement.    Unless determined otherwise by the Committee and set forth in the Participant's Award Agreement, in the event the employment of a Participant is terminated by reason of death, Disability, or Retirement during a Performance Period, the Participant shall receive a payout of the Final Award which is prorated in a manner determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Payments of any prorated Final Awards shall be made at the similar time as payments are made to Participants who did not terminate employment during the applicable Performance Period.

        7.2.    Termination of Employment for Other Reasons.    Unless determined otherwise by the Committee and set forth in the Participant's Award Agreement, in the event that a Participant's employment terminates during a Performance Period for any reason other than those reasons set forth in Article 7.1, all Awards for that Performance Period shall be forfeited by the Participant.

4



ARTICLE 8.    BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.

        Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by PCFC, and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with PCFC during the Participant's lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant's death shall be paid to the Participant's estate.

ARTICLE 9.    RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES.

        9.1.    Employment.    Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of PCFC or a Subsidiary to terminate any Participant's employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the of PCFC or a Subsidiary.

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

        9.3.    Nontransferability.    No Award shall be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated, or otherwise anticipated by a Participant and, during the lifetime of a Participant, any payment shall be payable only to the Participant.

ARTICLE 10.    CHANGE-IN-CONTROL.

        10.1.    Treatment of Outstanding Awards.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of PCFC, or a Change in Control of PCFC, the amount of cash payable with respect to any Contingent Award for a Performance Period that ends after such event shall be determined and payable as if the Performance Period ended on the date of such event and a Final Award shall be calculated and paid under the Plan in an amount equal to two times the Contingent Award. The Contingent Award shall be calculated based on the annualized Salary of the Participant for the shortened Performance Period. The Final Award calculated under this Article 10 shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of full months of the Performance Period, as adjusted under this Article 10, and the denominator of which shall be the number of full months in the intended Performance Period. The Final Award under this Article 10 shall be paid to such Participant within ten days of the end of the shortened Performance Period.

        10.2.    Termination, Amendment, and Modifications of Change in Control Provisions.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement provision, the provisions of this Article 10 may not be terminated, amended, or modified on or after the date of a Change in Control to affect adversely any Award theretofore granted under the Plan without the prior written consent of the Participant with respect to the Participant's outstanding Awards; provided, however, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Committee, may terminate, amend, or modify this Article 10 at any time and from time to time prior to the date of a Change in Control.

        10.3.    Pooling of Interests Accounting.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the consummation of a Change in Control is contingent on using pooling of interests accounting methodology, the Board may take any action necessary, including but not limited to the amendment or repeal of any Contingent Award, to preserve the use of pooling of interests accounting.

ARTICLE 11.    AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION.

        11.1.    Amendment, Modification and Termination.    The Board or the Committee, may, at any time, terminate, amend, modify, or suspend this Plan provided that no such amendment, modification,

5


suspension, or termination of the Plan shall in any manner (except as allowable under Section 10.3) adversely affect in any material way any Final Award made under the Plan without the consent of the Participant holding the Final Award.

        11.2.    Compliance with Code Section 162(m).    Except as otherwise provided by this Article 11.2, at all times when Code Section 162(m) is applicable, all Awards granted under this Plan shall comply with the requirements of Code Section 162(m). However, in the event the Committee determines that such compliance is not desired with respect to the initial grant of any Award under the Plan, then compliance with Code Section 162(m) shall not apply and be required for such Award. In addition, in the event that changes are made to Code Section 162(m) to permit greater flexibility with respect to any Award available under the Plan, the Committee may, subject to this Article 11, make any adjustments it deems appropriate.

ARTICLE 12.    WITHHOLDING.

        PCFC shall have the power and the right to deduct, withhold, or require a Participant to remit to PCFC an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan.

ARTICLE 13.    INDEMNIFICATION.

The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under PCFC's articles of incorporation or bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that PCFC have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

ARTICLE 14.    SUCCESSORS.

        All obligations of PCFC under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to PCFC, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of PCFC.

ARTICLE 15.    LEGAL CONSTRUCTION.

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

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

        15.3.    Requirements of Law.    The granting of Contingent Awards and the payment of Final Awards under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

Bank of Hawaii Corporation

Key Executive

Change-in-Control Severance Agreement

Article 1. Establishment and Purpose

        1.1   Effective Date. This Executive Change-in-Control Severance Agreement (the "Agreement) is made and entered into pursuant to Bank of Hawaii Corporation's Key Executive Severance Plan (the "Plan"), and is effective as of this            day of            , 2004 (the "Effective Date"), by and between Bank of Hawaii Corporation ("BOHC"), a Delaware corporation, and                        , an executive (the "Executive") of BOHC and its subsidiary, Bank of Hawaii (the "Bank"). This Agreement shall supersede and replace any prior severance agreement entered into between BOHC and the Executive.

        1.2   Term of the Agreement. The Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date written above, and shall continue until the Board of Directors of BOHC (the "Board") determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that the Executive is no longer to be included in the Plan and so notifies in writing the Executive during the term of this Agreement of such determination.

                Provided, however, in the event that a Change in Control of BOHC, as defined in Section 2.1 herein, occurs during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain irrevocably in effect for the greater of twenty-four (24) months from the date of such Change in Control, or until all benefits have been paid to the Executive hereunder.

                Further, in the event that the Board has knowledge that a third party has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control of BOHC, including, but not limited to, the commencement of a tender offer for the voting stock of BOHC, or the circulation of a proxy to BOHC's shareholders, then this Agreement shall remain irrevocably in effect until the Board, in good faith, determines that such third party has fully abandoned or terminated its effort to effect a Change in Control of BOHC.

        1.3   Purpose of the Agreement. The purpose of this Agreement pursuant to the Plan, is to advance the interests of BOHC and the Bank by assuring that BOHC and the Bank will have the continued employment and dedication of the Executive and the availability of his advice and counsel in the event that an acquisition or Change in Control of BOHC occurs. This Agreement shall also assure the Executive of equitable treatment during the period of uncertainty that surrounds an acquisition or Change in Control, and allow the Executive to act at all times in the best interests of BOHC and its shareholders.

        1.4   Contractual Right to Benefits. This Agreement establishes and vests in the Executive a contractual right to the benefits which he or she is entitled hereunder, enforceable by the Executive against BOHC. However, nothing herein shall require BOHC to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets to provide for any payments hereunder.

                This Agreement shall be considered an unfunded agreement to provide benefits to a select group of management or highly compensated employees, and is therefore intended to be a "top-hat" plan exempt from the requirements of the provisions of Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I of ERISA.

Article 2. Definitions and Construction

        2.1   Definitions. Whenever used in the Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below and, when the meaning is intended, the initial letter of the word is capitalized.

4


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

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

        2.4   Modification. No express provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged unless such modification, waiver, or discharge is agreed to by the Executive in writing and approved by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

        2.5   Applicable Law. To the extent not preempted by the laws of the United States, the laws of the State of Hawaii shall be the controlling law in all matters relating to the Agreement.

Article 3. Severance Benefits

        3.1   Right to Severance Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to receive from BOHC Severance Benefits as described in Section 3.2 herein, if there has been a Change in Control of BOHC, as defined in Section 2.1(e) herein, and if, within twenty-four (24) months thereafter, the Executive voluntarily terminates employment or is involuntarily terminated without Just Cause with BOHC. An Executive shall not be entitled to receive Severance Benefits if the Executive's employment with BOHC or Bank of Hawaii ends due to an involuntary termination by BOHC for Just Cause, as provided under Article 4 herein.

        3.2   Description of Severance Benefits. In the event that an Executive becomes entitled to receive Severance Benefits, as provided in Section 3.1 herein, BOHC shall pay to the Executive and provide the Executive with the following:

5


        3.3   Reduction of Severance Benefits. In the event there are fewer than thirty-six (36) whole or partial months remaining from the Executive's Effective Date of Termination until the Executive's Normal Retirement Date, as defined under the Retirement Plan, then the amounts provided for under Sections 3.2(a), (b), and (c) above shall be reduced by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole or partial months remaining until the Executive's Normal Retirement Date, and the denominator of which shall be thirty-six (36).

        3.4   Fringe Benefits. The Executive's participation in fringe benefits prior to the Executive's Effective Date of Termination shall be continued, or equivalent benefits shall be provided, at no cost to the Executive, for a period of three (3) years from the Executive's Effective Date of Termination (or until he or she reaches his Normal Retirement Date, whichever occurs earlier).

        3.5   Relocation Benefits. Should the Executive move his residence in order to pursue other business opportunities within two (2) years of Executive's Effective Date of Termination, the Executive shall be reimbursed for any moving expenses (as defined in Section 217(b) of the Code) incurred in that relocation (including taxes, if any, payable on the reimbursement) which are not reimbursed by another employer. Benefits provided herein shall not exceed the assistance and benefits customarily provided by BOHC to transferred employees prior to the Change in Control.

        3.6   Incentive Compensation. Any deferred awards previously granted to the Executive under BOHC's incentive compensation plans and not previously paid to the Executive, shall immediately vest on the date of the Executive's Effective Date of Termination and shall be paid no later than ninety (90) calendar days following that date, and be included as compensation in the month paid.

        3.8   Stock Options and SARs. Stock options ("options"), stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and restricted shares, if any, granted to the Executive by BOHC will be exercisable or payable pursuant to the terms of the applicable plans.

6



Article 4. Just Cause

        4.1   Just Cause. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent BOHC or the Bank from terminating an Executive's employment for Just Cause. In such case, no Severance Benefits shall be payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

                Just Cause shall mean the criminal conviction of the Executive for an act of fraud, embezzlement, theft or any other act constituting a felony.

                The determination that the Executive's actions constitute Just Cause for termination shall be made by the Board, acting in good faith.

Article 5. Form and Timing of Severance Benefits

        5.1   Form and Timing of Severance Benefits. The Severance Benefits described in Sections 3.2 (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), shall be paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the Executive's Effective Date of Termination, but in no event beyond ninety (90) calendar days from such date.

                The Severance Benefits described in Section 3.2(f) and 3.5 herein shall be provided by BOHC to the Executive immediately upon the Executive's Effective Date of Termination and shall continue to be provided for three (3) full calendar years from the Executive's Effective Date of Termination or until the Executive reaches his or her Normal Retirement date, whichever occurs earlier.

        5.2   Withholding of Taxes. BOHC shall withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all Federal, state, city, or other taxes as legally shall be required.

Article 6. Parachute Payments

        6.1   Excise Tax Cap. In the event that a Change in Control of BOHC shall occur and a determination is made by BOHC, pursuant to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code (and corresponding state law provisions) that a golden parachute excise tax is due, the Executive's Severance Benefits under this Plan shall be grossed up for the amount equal to and only equal to the amount necessary to pay the excise tax.

        6.2   Subsequent Recalculation. In the event the Internal Revenue Service adjusts the excise tax computation of BOHC, as provided in Section 6.1 herein, such that the Executive is liable for the payment of a greater excise tax under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, or such that the Executive does not receive the full benefit that he or she would have received, BOHC shall reimburse the Executive for the full amount necessary to make the Executive whole (less any amounts received by the Executive that he or she would not have received had the computation initially been computed as subsequently adjusted), including the value of the excise tax and all corresponding interest and penalties due to the Internal Revenue Service.

Article 7. Other Rights and Benefits Not Affected

        7.1   Other Benefits. Neither the provisions of this Agreement nor the Severance Benefits provided for hereunder shall reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the Executive's rights as an employee of BOHC, whether existing now or hereafter, under any benefit, incentive, retirement, stock option, stock bonus, stock purchase plan, or any employment agreement, or other plan or arrangement.

        7.2   Employment Status. This Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Executive or BOHC any obligation to retain the Executive as an employee, to change the status of the Executive's employment, or to change BOHC's policies regarding termination of employment.

7



Article 8. Successors

        8.1   Successors. BOHC will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of BOHC or of any division or subsidiary thereof to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that BOHC would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of BOHC to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from BOHC in the same amount and on the same terms as they would be entitled hereunder if terminated voluntarily following a Change in Control. Except for the purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Effective Date of Termination.

                This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. If an Executive should die while any amount would still be payable hereunder had the Executive continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to the Executive's devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if there is no such designee, to the Executive's estate.

        8.2   Beneficiaries. The beneficiary of the Executive under the Bank of Hawaii Corporation Money Purchase Plan shall be the beneficiary of the Executive's benefits under this Agreement, unless a beneficiary is otherwise designated by the Executive in the form of a signed writing acceptable to the Committee. An Executive may make or change such designation at any time.

Article 9. Administration

        9.1   Administration. This Agreement shall be administered by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee is authorized to interpret this Agreement, to prescribe and rescind rules and regulations, to provide conditions and assurances deemed necessary and advisable, to protect the interests of BOHC, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the Agreement's administration.

                In fulfilling its administrative duties hereunder, the Committee may rely on outside counsel, independent accountants, or other consultants to render advice or assistance.

        9.2   Indemnification and Exculpation. The members of the Board, its agents and officers, directors, and employees of BOHC and its affiliates shall be indemnified and held harmless by BOHC against and from any and all loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by them in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which they may be a party or in which they may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under this Agreement and against and from any and all amounts paid by them in settlement (with BOHC's written approval) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding. The foregoing provision shall not be applicable to any person if the loss, cost, liability, or expense is due to such person's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Article 10. Legal Fees

        10.1 Legal Fees and Expenses. BOHC shall pay all reasonable legal fees, costs of litigation, and other expenses incurred in good faith by the Executive as a result of BOHC's refusal to provide the Severance Benefits to which the Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement, or as a result of BOHC's contesting the validity, enforceability, or interpretation of the Agreement. Provided, however, that such payments shall not exceed the amount permitted by law and BOHC's Restated Articles of Incorporation.

Exhibit 10.7


BANCORP HAWAII, INC.
DIRECTORS' DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
(Restatement Effective as of January 1, 1996)

        Article 1.    Purpose.    This Bancorp Hawaii, Inc. Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan ("Plan") is intended to advance the interests of Bancorp Hawaii, Inc. ("Company") by providing deferred compensation benefits to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank of Hawaii ("Bank") ("Directors") and thereby strengthening the ability of the Company to attract and retain valued Directors upon whose judgment, initiative, and efforts the successful conduct and development of the Company depends.

        Article 2.    Effective Date.    This Plan shall become effective as of January 1, 1996 ("Effective Date"), upon adoption by the Board of Directors of the Company, and shall operate on the basis of the calendar year ("Plan Year"). This Plan constitutes a restatement in its entirety and continuation of the prior version of the Plan.

        Article 3.    Eligibility.    Any Director entitled to compensation by the Company or the Bank for service as a Director ("Eligible Director"), other than a Director who is also a salaried officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, may elect to become a participant ("Participant") under the Plan by written notice to the Company.

        Article 4.    Election of Deferral.    Each Participant may elect to defer receipt of either all of his annual retainer fees and meeting fees, or all of his annual retainer fees, which are earned for the Plan Year commencing after the date of the election ("Deferral Election"). The Deferral Election for a Plan Year shall be irrevocable as to the designated fees earned for the Plan Year.

        By written notice to the Company on or before any December 31, any Participant may elect to terminate future deferrals with respect to fees earned for the succeeding Plan Year commencing after the December 31. In such event, the amount accumulated pursuant to the Plan prior to the effective date of his termination election shall continue to be subject to the provisions of the Plan. An Eligible Director who elects to terminate his participation shall not be permitted to make a new Deferral Election under the Plan until one year from the effective date of the termination election.

        Article 5.    Deferred Compensation Account.    A separate account shall be established and maintained on behalf of each Participant under the Plan ("Account"), which Account shall reflect the balance of the Deferral Election amounts credited to the Participant as provided in Article 4 above. The deferred fees of each Participant shall be credited to the Participant's Account as soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which such fees would be otherwise payable to the Participant.

        The amounts credited to the Participant's Account, including that portion of the Account comprising the preexisting Account balance under the prior version of the Plan, shall be invested and reinvested in one or more of the Pacific Capital Funds as may be directed by the Participant. Each Account shall be appropriately increased or decreased, as the case may be, to reflect the appreciation or depreciation in value of the Account, the net income or loss attributable to funds credited to the Account, and distributions and expenses that may be charged to the Account. The Participant agrees on behalf of himself and any designated beneficiary to assume all risks and responsibilities for his investment directions under his Account, and the Company shall not be liable for any investment losses that may be incurred under the Account.

        Article 6.    Vesting.    Except as provided in Article 11, a Participant shall have a 100% vested and nonforfeitable interest in the balance of his Account.

        Article 7.    Distribution Due to Termination.    The amount credited to the Account of a Participant shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum or in equal annual installments over a period of years, not exceeding ten years, as the Participant may elect. Such distribution shall commence on the



first day of the first calendar month after the Participant ceases to be a Director of the Company. Each Participant shall file with the Company at the time of his Deferral Election an irrevocable election regarding the method of distribution of that portion of his Account derived from the Deferral Election.

        Article 8.    Distribution Due to Death.    Upon the death of an active Participant, or terminated Participant prior to expiration of the period during which his Account is payable, the balance of his Account shall be paid in a single lump sum to his designated beneficiary. The Account shall be paid in full on the second day of the Plan Year following the year of death. The Participant's designated beneficiary shall be designated or changed by the Participant (without the consent of any prior beneficiary) through written notice delivered to the Company. If no such beneficiary is designated, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, the amount payable due to the Participant's death shall be payable to the Participant's estate.

        Article 9.    Incapacity.    If the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors finds that any person to whom payment is payable under this Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, any payment due (unless a prior claim for such payment has been made by a duly appointed guardian, committee, or other legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, or a brother or sister, or to any person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expense for such person otherwise entitled to payment.

        Article 10.    Funding.    The amounts payable under this Plan shall be paid in cash or in kind from the general funds of the Company, as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may determine, and a Participant shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to investments, if any, which the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under this Plan. Title to and beneficial ownership of any such investments shall at all times remain in the Company. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and the Participant and any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive a payment from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured creditor.

        Article 11.    Legal Status.    This Plan is intended to constitute a nonqualified deferred compensation plan not subject to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Specifically, prior to the actual payment of the amounts credited to an Account, there is no transfer of any assets to a Participant or for the benefit of the Participant under this Plan, and the Plan is intended to confer no current benefit that would be immediately taxable to the Participant under the constructive receipt rule or economic benefit doctrine under the tax laws. Further, this Plan is intended to benefit non-employee Directors exclusively, and not employees of the Company, and is thereby not subject to the requirements of ERISA.

        Article 12.    Continued Service.    Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as conferring upon a Participant the right to continue in the service of the Company as a Director or in any other capacity. Further, nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to create an obligation on the part of the Board to nominate any Director for reelection by the Company stockholders.

        Article 13.    Nonassignment.    The interests of a Participant hereunder may not be sold, transferred, signed, pledged, or hypothecated. No Participant may borrow against his Account.

        Article 14.    Administration.    The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall have full power and authority to interpret, construe, and administer this Plan, in its sole and absolute discretion, and the Committee's interpretation and construction of this Plan, including any valuation of an Account, or the amount or recipient of any payment, shall be binding and conclusive on all persons. The Committee may at its sole discretion determine the costs of implementing and administering the Plan, and it may charge all or a portion of such costs to Participants either by charging their respective Accounts or by direct charge.

        Article 15.    Amendment and Termination.    The Plan may, at any time or from time to time, be amended, modified, or terminated at the sole and complete discretion of the Board of Directors.


However, no amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect such Participant's rights with respect to amounts then accrued in his Account.

        Article 16.    Enforceability and Controlling Law.    If any provision of this Plan is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The provisions of this Plan shall be construed, administered, and enforced according to the laws of the State of Hawaii.

        Article 17.    Gender.    Wherever any words are used under the Plan in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, they shall be construed as though they were also used in another gender in all cases where they would so apply.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be executed by its duly authorized officers on this 13th day of December, 1995.

TRUST AGREEMENT
FOR THE BANCORP HAWAII, INC.
DIRECTORS' DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

        THIS AGREEMENT, between Bancorp Hawaii, Inc., a Hawaii corporation ("Company"), and Hawaiian Trust Company, Ltd., a Hawaii trust company ("Trustee"), shall be effective as of September 1, 1996.

W I T N E S S E T H:

        WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Bancorp Hawaii, Inc. Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan ("Plan"), restatement effective as of January 1, 1996, as a nonqualified deferred compensation agreement for the benefit of non-employee Directors eligible to participate in the Plan ("Participants") and their beneficiaries.

        WHEREAS, the Plan is maintained as a deferred compensation plan exclusively for non-employee Directors and falls outside the coverage of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").

        WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Company to make contributions to this trust ("Trust") to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in the meeting of its liabilities under the Plan, and it is the intention of the parties that this Trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plan as an unfunded plan maintained for purposes of providing benefits not covered under Title I of ERISA.

        WHEREAS, the Trust hereby created is intended to be a grantor trust (as that term is defined in Section 671 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), and the Company shall include all items of Trust income and expenses in its income tax return for the year in which such income is earned and such expenses are incurred.

        WHEREAS, the Company has, concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Trust Agreement, delivered to the Trustee certain monies and other assets to fund the Trust equal in value to the balance of Participants' Accounts under the Plan as of the date of delivery, and the Trustee has agreed to hold the same, together with any such monies and other assets, as the Company shall in the future determine and deliver to the Trustee, in trust. All property, monies, securities, and other assets as the Trustee may hereafter at any time hold or acquire, including any gains or losses thereon, shall constitute the corpus of the Trust. The Trust thus created has been created solely to aid in the proper execution of the Plan and, except as otherwise provided in Sections 12 and 13, shall be availed of solely for such purposes.

        WHEREAS, except as otherwise provided in Sections 12 and 13, it shall be impossible, whether by operation or termination of the Trust, or by any other means, for any part of the Trust assets to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than the exclusive benefit of any Participant or beneficiary and the payment of the expenses of the administration of the Plan and Trust prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities for benefits and expenses under the Plan and the Trust.

        WHEREAS, the definitions of defined terms under the Plan shall apply to this Agreement wherever applicable, and each gender shall include the others, and the singular shall include the plural, and the term "Participant" shall include the Participant's beneficiary who is entitled to current payments from the Trust under the terms of the Plan.


        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing promises and of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the Company and the Trustee hereby agree as follows:

        Section 1.    The Trust Assets.    

        a.     Company contributions and Plan assets shall be paid or transferred to the Trustee from time to time as the Committee may determine. All Company contributions and Plan assets paid or transferred to the Trustee and all investments thereof, together with all accumulations, accruals, earnings and income with respect thereto, shall be held in trust by the Trustee as the Trust assets. The Trust assets shall be held and invested by the Trustee pursuant to written instructions to the Trustee from the Committee. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the computation or collection of Company contributions, but shall hold, invest, reinvest, manage, administer and distribute the Trust assets, as directed by the Committee and as provided herein, for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their beneficiaries (except as provided in Sections 12 and 13).

        b.     However, for each Plan year, the Company shall irrevocably deposit additional cash or other property to the Trust in the amount to be allocated to Participants' Accounts for the Plan year. Such deposits shall be made on, or as soon as administratively practicable following, the date on which the contributions would have otherwise been paid directly to the Participants.

        Section 2.    Investment.    

        a.     The Trustee shall, as directed by the Committee, place Trust assets in life insurance and/or annuity contracts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, stocks and bonds of corporations, any kind of investment fund (open-end or otherwise), common trust fund, or in any other kind of realty or personalty.

        b.     If all or any portion of the Trust shall be invested at any time in life insurance or annuity contracts ("insurance contracts"), such insurance contracts shall be assets of the Trust. The Trustee shall be the owner and beneficiary under such insurance contracts. All rights and privileges granted under the insurance contracts (including, but not limited to, the right to collect the death benefit of the insurance contracts, the right to make policy loans on the insurance contracts, and the right to determine the timing and method of payment under the insurance contracts) shall be exercised by the Trustee as directed by the Committee.

        c.     The Trustee shall not be liable for the making, retaining, or selling of any investment or reinvestment by it as is provided for in this Section 2, or for any loss to or diminution of the Trust assets, so long as such actions are taken in accordance with proper direction of the Committee, except the Trustee shall remain liable for its own willful misconduct or failure to act in good faith.

        d.     Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or Trust to the contrary, the Company shall at all times have the power to reacquire Trust assets by substituting other assets (other than stock, an obligation, or other security issued by the Company or related entity) of an equivalent value, and such other assets shall, following such substitution, constitute the Trust fund.

        e.     The Committee may, in its sole discretion, direct the Trustee to create one or more separate investment funds having such different specific investment objectives as the Committee shall from time to time determine. The Committee shall determine and may from time to time redetermine investment funds or the investments which shall be authorized. The Committee may allow each Participant the right to direct the Trustee in writing to invest an amount equivalent to the balance of his Account in one or more separate investment funds or investments, provided that such right to direct shall apply on a nondiscriminatory basis to all Participants who meet the requirements of the Committee. The Committee may at any time make such uniform and nondiscriminatory rules as it determines necessary regarding the administration of a directed investment option. The Committee shall develop and

2



maintain rules governing the rights of Participants to change their investment directions and the frequency with which such changes can be made.

        Section 3.    Administration.    

        a.     The Trustee shall open and maintain and administer separate Accounts for Participants. Each Participant's Account shall reflect the amounts allocated thereto and distributed therefrom and such other information as affects the value of such Account pursuant to the Plan. The records of the Participants' Accounts shall be maintained by the Trustee and shall accurately disclose the value of the Participants' Accounts.

        b.     For each Plan year, the Trustee shall allocate Company contributions to Participants' Accounts and maintain such Accounts pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The Trustee shall have the authority and responsibility to establish the fair market value of the Trust assets, to value Accounts as of each valuation date, and to render accountings of its administration of the Trust. As of each valuation date, being the last day of each Plan year and any other date the Committee directs the Trustee to value the Trust assets, including on a daily valuation basis for appropriate investments, the net income or loss of the aggregate Trust assets since the preceding valuation date, including net appreciation or depreciation and any expenses paid by the Trust, shall be allocated to each Account in the ratio that the value, as of the next preceding valuation date, of each such Account invested in Trust assets bears to the value, as of the next preceding valuation date, of all Accounts invested as Trust assets. If one or more separate investment funds have been established under the Trust, the net income or loss of each investment fund shall be similarly but separately allocated to each Account invested in such investment fund in proportion to the value of each Account invested in such fund as of the preceding valuation date. The Trustee shall adopt equitable procedures to establish a proportionate crediting of Trust income or loss to those portions of Participants' Accounts in the case of contributions, transfers, withdrawals, distributions, or other transactions that have occurred in the interim period since the next preceding valuation date.

        c.     All determinations made by the Trustee with respect to the value of the Trust assets shall be made in accordance with generally accepted principles of trust accounting, and such determinations when so made by the Trustee, shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest under the Trust.

        Section 4.    Trustee's Powers.    

        a.     As directed by the Committee, the Trustee shall have the authority and power to:

3


        b.     The Committee may authorize the Trustee to act on any matter or class of matters with respect to which direction or instruction to the Trustee by the Committee is called for hereunder without specific direction or other instruction from the Committee.

        Section 5.    Nominees.    The Trustee may register any securities or other property held by it as Trust assets hereunder in its own name or in the name of its nominees with or without the addition of words indicating that such securities are held in a fiduciary capacity, and may hold any securities in bearer form, but the books and records of the Trustee shall at all times show that all such investments are part of the Trust.

        Section 6.    Records.    The Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed accounts of all investments, receipts and disbursements and other transactions hereunder, and all accounts, books and records relating thereto shall be open to inspection by any person designated by the Committee at all reasonable times. The Trustee shall maintain such records, make such computations, and perform such ministerial acts as the Committee may from time to time request.

        Section 7.    Reports.    Within sixty (60) days after each Plan Year, or the removal or resignation of the Trustee, and as of any other date specified by the Committee, the Trustee shall file a report with the Committee. This report shall show all purchases, sales, receipts, disbursements, and other transactions effected by the Trustee during the year or period for which the report is filed, and shall contain an exact description, the cost as shown on the Trustee's books, and the fair market value as of the end of such period, of every asset held in the Trust and the amount and nature of any debt obligation owed by the Trust. Within sixty (60) days after each Plan year, the Trustee shall also file with the Committee valuation and allocation reports reflecting the investment and value of Participants' Accounts determined as of the last day of the Plan year.

        Section 8.    Distributions.    

        a.     The Trustee shall make distributions from the Trust at such times and amounts to the person entitled thereto under the Plan, as the Committee directs in writing. Consistent with the Plan, the Committee shall deliver to the Trustee a schedule that indicates the amounts payable in respect to each Participant, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for or available under the Plan), and the time of commencement for payment of such amounts.

        The Trustee shall make provision for reporting and withholding of any federal or State taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment of benefits and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities or determine that such amounts have been reported, withheld, and paid by the Company.

        b.     The Company may make payment of benefits directly to Participants as they become due under the terms of the Plan. The Company shall notify the Trustee of its decision to make payment of benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to Participants. In addition, if Trust assets are not sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Company shall make the balance of each such payment as it falls due. The Trustee shall notify the Company where Plan assets are not sufficient.

        Section 9.    Signatures.    All communications required hereunder from the Committee to the Trustee shall be in writing signed by any individual authorized to sign on its behalf. The Committee shall authorize one or more individuals to sign on its behalf all communications required hereunder between the Committee and the Trustee. The Committee shall at all times keep the Trustee advised of the names and specimen signatures of all individuals authorized to sign on behalf of the Committee. The Trustee shall be fully protected in relying on any such communication and shall not be required to verify the accuracy or validity thereof unless it has reasonable grounds to doubt the authenticity of any signature.

4


        Section 10.    Expenses.    The Trustee may employ suitable agents and advisors for the Trust. The expenses incurred by the Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder, and all other proper and reasonable charges and administrative expenses of the Trust, shall be paid by the Company. However, normal brokerage charges, commissions, taxes and other costs incident to the purchase and sale of securities which are included in the cost of securities purchased (or charged against the proceeds, in the case of sales) shall be charged to and paid out of Trust assets. The Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as may be agreed upon from time to time between the Trustee and the Committee. If the Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising in connection with this Trustee, the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee against the Trustee's costs, expenses, and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) relating thereto and to be primarily liable for such payments.

        Section 11.    Liability.    The Trustee shall not be liable for the making, retention or sale of any investment or reinvestment made by it as herein provided, nor for any loss to or diminution of the Trust assets, nor for any action it takes or refrains from taking at the direction of the Committee. The Trustee shall not be required to pay interest on any part of the Trust assets which are held uninvested pursuant to the direction of the Committee.

        Section 12.    Amendment and Termination.    

        a.     The Trust shall be irrevocable and may not be amended or terminated by the Company. However, the Trust may be amended by a written agreement between the Trustee and the Company (i) with the written consent of affected Participants; or (ii) as necessary to obtain a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax consequences of the Plan and the Trust; or (iii) to conform its provisions to the requirements of applicable laws or regulations; or (iv) to supply any omission, cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision, or otherwise modify any Trust provision in any way. Any modification or amendment shall not adversely affect the rights of the Participants or their beneficiaries under the Plan or Trust with respect to benefits accrued as of the date of the modification or amendment, unless such modification or amendment is made with the consent of affected Participants. Before any amendment is made pursuant to clause (i), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certification of proper compliance with the consent requirements of this paragraph.

        b.     The Trust shall terminate upon receipt by the Trustee from the Company of an accounting confirming that all such liabilities have been satisfied. After the satisfaction of all liabilities under the Plan, the Trust shall terminate and any assets remaining in the Trust shall be distributed by the Trustee to the Company.

        Section 13.    Nonassignment and General Creditors.    

        a.     Except as otherwise required by law, the Trust assets shall not be subject to the assignment, alienation, pledge, or attachment for the benefit of any Participant, or claims of the creditors of any Participant, and shall not otherwise be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered by any Participant. Participants shall have no preferred claims on, or beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights created under the Plan and this Trust shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Participants against the Company.

        b.     Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the income and principal of this Trust shall remain subject to the claims of the Company's general creditors as if the assets of the Trust were general assets of the Company. In no event, however, shall creditors of the Company be paid with assets of the Trust unless the Trustee has been so directed by a court, or a person appointed by a court, having competent jurisdiction over the financial affairs of the Company. In addition, the Company shall be prohibited from creating a security interest in the Trust in favor of any of its creditors.

        c.     If any entity is or becomes the successor employer under the Plan, it shall automatically become the successor employer to this Trust Agreement.

5



        d.     The Committee shall have the duty to inform the Trustee in writing if and when the Company becomes "Insolvent" as hereinafter defined. When so informed, the Trustee shall immediately discontinue payments to Participants under this Trust Agreement, shall hold the portion of the Trust assets for the benefit of the Company's general creditors, and shall resume payments to Participants only after the Trustee has determined that the Company is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent, assuming an initial determination that the Company was Insolvent) or after receipt of an order of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect. The Company shall be considered "Insolvent" for purposes of this Trust Agreement at any time: (a) the Company is unable to pay its debts as they mature, or (b) the Company is a debtor in a pending proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. If the Trustee receives other written allegations from a person claiming to be a creditor of the Company that the Company has become Insolvent, the Trustee shall independently determine whether the Company is Insolvent and, pending such determination, the Company shall discontinue payments to Participants, shall hold the Trust assets for the benefit of the Company's general creditors, and shall resume payments to Participants only after the Trustee has determined that the Company is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent, assuming the Trustee initially determined the Company to be Insolvent) or after receipt of an order of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect. If the Trustee discontinues payments under this Section 13, and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payments to Participants following such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments that would have been made to Participants during the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of payments made to Participants by the Company during any such period of discontinuance. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights of Participants to pursue their rights as general creditors of the Company with respect to benefits due under the Plan.

        e.     Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Company's Insolvency, or has received notice on behalf of the Company or a person claiming to be a creditor of the Company, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether the Company is Insolvent. The Trustee may rely on such evidence concerning the Company's Insolvency as may be furnished to the Trustee and that provides the Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning the Company's Insolvency.

        Section 14.    Resignation or Removal of Trustee.    

        a.     The Trustee may resign at any time upon sixty (60) days written notice to the Company. The Trustee may be removed at any time by the Company upon sixty (60) days written notice to the Trustee. Upon the receipt of instructions or directions from the Committee with which the Trustee is unable or unwilling to comply, the Trustee may resign upon notice in writing to the Company given within a reasonable time, under the circumstances then prevailing, after the receipt of such instructions or directions; and, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, in that event, the Trustee shall have no liability to the Company, or any person interested herein, for failure to comply with such instructions or directions.

        b.     Upon resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Company shall appoint a successor trustee or trustees. The successor trustee shall have the same powers and duties as are conferred upon the Trustee hereunder, and the Trustee shall assign, transfer and pay over to such successor trustee all the Trust assets, together with such records or copies thereof as may be necessary to the successor trustee.

        c.     If the Trustee resigns or is removed within one year of a "Change-in-Control", as defined below, the Trustee, and not the Company, shall select a successor trustee or trustees prior to the effective date of the Trustee's resignation or removal.

        Section 15.    Change-in-Control.    

        a.     Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event of a "Change-in-Control" of the Company, the authority of the Committee to direct the Trustee under this Trust Agreement shall terminate, and the Trustee shall act on its own discretion to carry out the terms of this Trust

6



Agreement in accordance with the Plan. For this purpose, a "Change-in-Control" shall mean any one or more of the following occurrences: (a) any person, including a "group" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, becomes the beneficial owner of shares of the Company having a 25% or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of Directors of the Company; or (b) as a result of, or in connection with, any such tender or exchange offer, merger, or other business combination, sale of assets, or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, the persons who were Directors of the Company before the transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company or any successor to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing portion of this paragraph, the authority of the Committee to direct the Trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be retained by or reverted to the Committee in the event of a Change-in-Control if such authority is approved by the unanimous written consent of the Participants.

        b.     Upon a Change-in-Control, the Company shall, as soon as possible, but in no event longer than 15 days following the Change-in-Control, make an irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount that is sufficient to pay each Participant the benefits to which Participants would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Plan as of the date on which the Change-in-Control occurs.

        Section 16.    Acceptance and Jurisdiction.    The Trustee hereby accepts this Trust and agrees to hold the existing Trust assets, and all additions and accretions thereto, subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which shall be interpreted and construed under the laws of the United States, and to the extent such laws are inapplicable, under the laws of the State of Hawaii.

        Section 17.    Illegality.    In the event any provisions of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement, but shall be fully severable, and the Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had never been inserted herein.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Trustee have agreed to the terms of this Trust Agreement, executed this 26th day of July, 1996.

Exhibit 10.8


BANCORP HAWAII, INC.

DIRECTOR STOCK COMPENSATION PROGRAM

(EFFECTIVE AS OF JANUARY 1, 1996)

        1.    Purpose.    This Bancorp Hawaii, Inc. Director Stock Compensation Program (the "Program") is established by Bancorp Hawaii, Inc. (the "Company"). The purpose of the Program is to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging and enabling members of the Board of Directors of the Company or of Bank of Hawaii ("Directors") to acquire and retain throughout each member's tenure as a Director a proprietary interest in the Company by ownership of shares of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock").

        2.    Elements of the Program.    The Program is composed of two parts. The first part is the Bancorp Hawaii, Inc. Director Stock Option Plan ("Stock Option Plan"), and the second part is the Bancorp Hawaii, Inc. Director Restricted Share Plan ("Restricted Share Plan") (collectively, the "Plans"). The Stock Option Plan and Restricted Share Plan respectively comprise Plan I and Plan II of the Program.

        3.    Applicability of General Provisions.    The Plans shall be administered, construed, governed, and amended in accordance with their respective terms. Unless any Plan specifically indicates to the contrary, all Plans shall be subject to the General Provisions of the Stock Compensation Program set forth below.

GENERAL PROVISIONS OF STOCK COMPENSATION PROGRAM

        Article 1.    Administration.    The Program shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee").

        The Committee shall hold meetings at such times and places as they may determine, shall keep minutes of their meetings, and shall adopt, amend, and revoke such rules and procedures as they may deem proper with respect to the Program. Any action of the Committee shall be taken by majority vote or the unanimous written consent of the Committee members.

        Article 2.    Authority of Committee.    Subject to the other provisions of this Program, and with a view to effecting its purpose, the Committee shall have sole authority, in its absolute discretion: (a) to construe and interpret the Program; (b) to define the terms used herein; (c) to determine, to the extent not provided by the Program or the relevant Plan, the terms and conditions of options and restricted shares granted pursuant to the terms of the Program; and (d) to make all other determinations and do all other things necessary or advisable for the administration of the Program. All decisions, determinations, and interpretations made by the Committee shall be binding and conclusive on all participants in the Program and on their legal representatives, heirs, and beneficiaries.

        Article 3.    Maximum Number of Shares Subject to the Program.    The aggregate number of shares of Company common stock ("Common Stock") which may be granted under the Plans shall be 250,000 shares. The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of an option or issued as restricted shares may be authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares.

        If any of the options granted under the Program expire or terminate for any reason before they have been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares subject to those expired or terminated options shall cease to reduce the number of shares available for purposes of the Program. However, notwithstanding that the conditions associated with a grant of restricted shares are not achieved within the period specified for satisfaction of the applicable conditions, or that the restricted share grant terminates for any reason before the date on which the conditions must be satisfied, the shares of Common Stock associated with such restricted shares shall reduce the number of shares available for purposes of the Program.



        Article 4.    Eligibility and Participation.    Any Director entitled to compensation by the Company or Bank of Hawaii for service as a Director, other than a Director who is also a salaried officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, shall be entitled to receive options and restricted shares according to the terms of the Plans. In addition, those salaried officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who as of January 1, 1996, are members of the Board of Directors of Bank of Hawaii shall be entitled to receive restricted shares pursuant to the Restricted Share Plan.

        All references herein to "Directors" shall be construed to mean those persons who are eligible to participate in the Stock Option Plan and/or the Restricted Share Plan, as the context may require.

        Article 5.    Effective Date and Term of Program.    The Program shall become effective as of January 1, 1996, conditioned upon its adoption by the Board of Directors of the Company and subject to approval of the Program by the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon at a meeting of the Company's stockholders following adoption of the Program by the Board of Directors, which vote shall be taken within 12 months of adoption of the Program by the Company's Board of Directors; provided, however, that options and restricted shares may be granted under this Program prior to obtaining stockholder approval of the Program, but any such options or restricted shares shall be contingent upon such stockholder approval being obtained and may not be exercised prior to such approval. The Program shall continue in effect for a term of ten years from January 1, 1996, unless sooner terminated under Article 7 of these General Provisions.

        Article 6.    Adjustments.    If the then outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities through merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, other reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made in the maximum number and kind of shares or securities as to which options and restricted shares may be granted under this Program. A corresponding adjustment changing the number and kind of shares or securities allocated to unexercised options, restricted shares, or portions thereof, which shall have been granted prior to any such change, shall likewise be made. Any such adjustment in outstanding options shall be made without change in the aggregate purchase price applicable to the unexercised portion of the option, but with a corresponding adjustment in the price for each share or other unit of any security covered by the option.

        Article 7.    Termination and Amendment of Program.    The Program shall terminate at the end of the term of the Program described in Article 5, or shall terminate at such earlier time as the Board of Directors may determine. No options or restricted shares shall be granted under the Program after that date. Subject to the limitation contained in Article 8 of these General Provisions, the Board of Directors may at any time without further reference to the Company's stockholders terminate or suspend the Program or amend or revise its terms, including the form and substance of the option and restricted share agreements to be used hereunder; provided, however, that without approval by the stockholders of the Company representing a majority of the voting power (as contained in Article 5 of these General Provisions) no amendment or revision shall (a) increase the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be sold or distributed pursuant to options or restricted shares granted under this Program, except as permitted under Article 6 of these General Provisions; (b) increase the maximum term established under the Plans for any option or restricted share; (c) permit the granting of an option or restricted share to anyone other than as provided in Article 4 of the General Provisions; or (d) alter the exercise price for any option; and provided further that no amendment which requires stockholder approval in order for the Program to continue to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), including any successor to such Rule, shall be effective unless such amendment shall be approved by the requisite vote of stockholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon.

        Article 8.    Prior Rights and Obligations.    No amendment, suspension, or termination of the Program shall, without the consent of the individual who has received an option or restricted share, alter or impair any of that person's rights or obligations under any option or restricted share granted under the Program prior to that amendment, suspension, or termination. However, the grant of an



option or restricted share shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure; to merge or consolidate; or to dissolve, liquidate, or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

        Article 9.    Privileges of Stock Ownership.    Notwithstanding the exercise of any option granted pursuant to the terms of this Program or the achievement of any conditions specified in any restricted share granted pursuant to the terms of this Program, no individual shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares of stock issuable upon the exercise of his or her option or the satisfaction of his or her restricted share conditions until certificates representing the shares have been issued and delivered. No shares shall be required to be issued and delivered upon exercise of any option or satisfaction of any conditions with respect to a restricted share unless and until all of the requirements of law and of all regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the issuance and delivery of the securities shall have been fully complied with.

        Article 10.    Reservation of Shares of Common Stock.    The Company, during the term of this Program, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Program.

        Article 11.    Continued Service.    Nothing contained in this Program shall be construed as conferring upon a Director the right to continue in the service of the Company or of Bank of Hawaii as a Director or in any other capacity. Further, nothing contained in this Program or in any option or restricted share granted hereunder shall be deemed to create any obligation on the part of the Board of Directors of the Company or of Bank of Hawaii to nominate any Director for reelection.

        Article 12.    Tax Withholding.    The exercise of any option or restricted share granted under this Program is subject to the condition that if at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding liabilities under any state or federal law is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, such exercise or the delivery or purchase of shares pursuant thereto, then in such event, the exercise of the option or restricted share shall not be effective unless such withholding shall have been effected or obtained in a manner acceptable to the Company.

        Article 13.    Gender.    Wherever any words are used under the Program in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, they shall be construed as though they were also used in another gender in all cases where they would so apply.

        Article 14.    Rule 16b-3 Requirements.    With respect to Directors who are subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the provisions of the Program and all transactions thereunder are intended and shall be construed and applied so as to comply with all applicable requirements and conditions of Rule 16b-3 or any successor Rule under the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Program or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

Stock Option Plan of 1994" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), as set forth in this document. The Plan permits the grant of Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and other similar Awards; and it offers flexibility in determining the time of payment and whether Awards will be conditioned on the attainment of performance goals and whether they will be settled in cash.

        The Committee shall be comprised solely of Directors who are eligible to administer the Plan pursuant to Rule 16b-3(c)(2) under the Exchange Act and whose status allows the Plan to meet the requirement of Code Section 162(m)(4)(C)(i) that performance goals under the Plan must be determined by a compensation committee of the Board comprised solely of two or more outside Directors. If for any reason the existing Committee does not qualify to administer the Plan under these criteria, the Board of Directors may appoint a new Committee so as to comply with Rule 16b-3(c)(2) and Code Section 162(m)(4)(C)(i).

        3.2    Authority of the Committee.    The Committee shall have full power except as limited by law or by the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, and subject to the provisions herein, to determine the Participants, the size and types of Awards; to determine the terms and conditions of such Awards in a manner consistent with the Plan; to construe and interpret the Plan and any agreement or instrument entered into under the Plan; to establish, amend, or waive rules and regulations for the Plan's administration; and (subject to the provisions of Article 13 herein) to amend the terms and conditions of any outstanding Award to the extent such terms and conditions are within the discretion of the Committee as provided in the Plan. Further, the Committee shall make all other determinations which may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. As permitted by law, the Committee may delegate its authorities as identified hereunder.

        All Participants under the Plan are eligible to receive Awards that may provide Performance-Based Compensation. The Committee shall determine when granting each Award whether or not it is intended to provide Performance-Based Compensation, and shall cause the agreement covering any Award that is so intended to indicate this fact and to include such other information as may be necessary to satisfy the requirements for treatment as compensation described in Code Section 162(m)(4)(C). Until the maximum dollar Award is changed and approved by the Company's stockholders, the maximum dollar amount that will be paid in settlement of any Award that provides Performance-Based Compensation is the Fair Market Value (determined on the date the Award is exercised or otherwise settled) of 20 percent of the total authorized pool of Shares specified in Section 4.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an initial dollar maximum is specifically provided for a particular type of Award elsewhere in this Plan, that specific maximum shall be substituted in place of the maximum in the preceding sentence. A change in the foregoing maximum may be made by Plan amendment or other means, provided that it is made and approved by the Company's stockholders in a manner that satisfies regulatory guidance under Code Section 162(m)(4)(C). Once made, the changed maximum dollar amount(s) shall apply to Awards providing Performance-Based Compensation, and the maximum specified in this section shall cease to apply.

        The terms and conditions of any Award (other than an Award of an Option and the related Tandem SAR, if any) that is intended to provide Performance-Based Compensation shall include the requirement that such Award shall be payable only on account of the attainment of one or more preestablished performance goals. The agreement covering the Award shall specify the performance goals to which payment under the Award is subject and shall state, in terms of an objective formula or standard, the method for computing the amount of compensation payable to the Participant if the goal



is obtained. In addition, before the payment of any such Award, the Committee shall certify that the performance goals and any other material terms of the Award have in fact been satisfied.

        For purposes of the foregoing, the Committee shall specify the performance goals and certify the attainment of such goals with respect to performance-related Awards in accordance with Code section 162(m) and related rules and regulations followed by the Internal Revenue Service. Except as otherwise permitted or required by such authorities, the performance goals applicable to each Award subject to this paragraph shall be determined by the Committee in a manner such that any compensation of a Participant under the Award is paid pursuant to a preestablished objective performance formula or standard that precludes discretion and generally allows a third party with knowledge of the relevant performance results to calculate the amount to be paid to the Participant.

        In general, the reservation of a right to reduce or eliminate the compensation or other economic benefit that was due upon attainment of the performance goal shall not be considered to constitute impermissible discretion, but the choice to pay upon the attainment of either of two performance goals shall not be allowed under the rules precluding Committee discretion. The performance goals applicable to each Award intended to provide Performance-Based Compensation award may be based on but not limited to the following business criteria: control of net overhead expenses, control of nonperforming loans, adequacy of loan loss reserves, control of noninterest expenses, control of interest margin, increase in the Company's common stock price, increase in earnings per share, growth in net income per employee, return on equity, increase in bank deposit levels, return on average equity, return on assets, increase in capitalization levels, increase in noninterest income and growth in earnings.

        3.3    Decisions Binding.    All determinations and decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and all related orders or resolutions of the Board shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, including the Company, its stockholders, Employees, Participants, and their estates and beneficiaries.

ARTICLE 4.    SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

        4.1    Number of Shares.    Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 herein, the total number of Shares available for grant under the Plan shall be 1,250,000. These Shares may be either authorized but unissued or reacquired Shares.

        The following rules will apply for purposes of the determination of the number of Shares available for grant under the Plan:

        4.2    Lapsed Awards.    If any Award granted under the Plan is canceled, terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason (with the exception of the termination of a Tandem SAR upon exercise of the related Option or the termination of a related Option upon exercise of the corresponding Tandem SAR), any Shares subject to such Award again shall be available for the grant of an Award under the Plan. However, in the event that prior to the Award's cancellation, termination, expiration, or lapse, the holder of the Award at any time received one or more "benefits of ownership" pursuant to such Award


(as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to any rule or interpretation promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act), the Shares subject to such Award shall not be made available for regrant under the Plan. Further, any Award of an Option or Freestanding SAR that is canceled, terminated, expires, or lapses, shall continue to be counted against the maximum number of Shares for which an Option, or Freestanding SAR, may be granted to an Employee, under Article 6 or Article 7.

        4.3    Adjustments in Authorized Shares.    In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, Share combination, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the shares, such adjustment shall be made in the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan, and in the number and class of and/or price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights; and provided that the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.

ARTICLE 5.    ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

        5.1    Eligibility.    Persons eligible to participate in this Plan include all full-time, active, salaried Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as determined by the Committee, including Employees who are members of the Board, but excluding Directors who are not Employees.

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

ARTICLE 6.    STOCK OPTIONS

        6.1    Grant of Options.    Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Employees at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have discretion in determining the number of Shares subject to Options granted to each Participant; provided, however, that the maximum number of Shares subject to Options which may be granted to any single Participant during the term of the Plan is 20 percent of the total authorized pool of Shares specified in Section 4.1. The Committee may grant ISOs, NQSOs, or a combination thereof. Subject to any specific Plan rules that may apply to particular Option types, the NQSOs that may be granted include premium Options as well as performance-based Options, Options issued in tandem with SARs, Reload Options, and various combinations of the foregoing.

        6.2    Award Agreement.    Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Option Price, the duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, and such other provisions (including performance-based goals, if applicable) as the Committee shall determine. The Option Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, or a NQSO whose grant is intended not to fall under the Code provisions of Section 422.

        6.3    Option Price.    The Option Price for each Option (except a premium Option described in the next following sentence) shall be equal to 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted. The Option Price for each grant of a premium Option shall be a price determined by the Committee that, expressed as a percentage of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted, shall not be less than 101 percent. The Option Price shall in all cases be determined as of the date on which the Option is granted, and shall in no event reflect a discount from the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date. Accordingly, the Option Price of an ISO shall never be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the ISO is granted. Except in the case of an equitable adjustment pursuant to Section 4.3, the Option Price of an outstanding Option shall not be changed by means of repricing or other means after the date of the Option grant.



        6.4    Duration of Options.    Each Option shall expire at such time as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant; provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary date of its grant.

        6.5    Exercise of Options.    Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for each grant or for each Participant. However, in no event may any Option granted under this Plan become exercisable prior to six months following the date of its grant.

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

        The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the Company in full either: (a) in cash or its equivalent, or (b) by tendering previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the Option Price (provided that the Shares which are tendered must have been held by the Participant for at least six months prior to their tender to satisfy the Option Price if NQSOs, and one year prior to tender if ISOs), or (c) by a combination of (a) and (b).

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

        As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment, the Company shall deliver to the Participant one or more Share certificates or other appropriate evidence of ownership indicating the number of Shares purchased under the Option(s).

        6.7    Restrictions on Share Transferability.    The Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option under the Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.

        6.8    Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability, or Retirement    


        6.9    Termination of Employment for Cause.    If the employment of a Participant shall be terminated by the Company for Cause, all outstanding Options held by the Participant shall be forfeited to the Company immediately and no additional exercise period shall be allowed, regardless of the vested status of the Options.

        6.10    Termination of Employment for Other Reasons.    If the employment of a Participant shall be terminated by the Company for any reason other than the reasons set forth in Section 6.8 or 6.9, all Options held by the Participant which are not vested as of the effective date of employment termination shall be forfeited to the Company immediately.

        Options which are vested as of the effective date of employment termination may be exercised by the Participant within the period beginning on the effective date of employment termination, and ending three months after such date.

        6.11    Nontransferability of Options.    No Option granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, all Options granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant.

ARTICLE 7.    STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

        7.1    Grant of SARs.    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a SAR may be granted to an Employee at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee may grant Freestanding SARs, Tandem SARs, or any combination of these forms of SARs. Other SARs such as limited SARs may not be granted under this Plan.

        The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of SARs granted to each Participant (subject to Article 4 herein) and, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, in determining the terms and conditions pertaining to such SARs; provided, however, that the maximum number of SARs which may be granted to any single Participant during the term of the Plan is 20 percent of the total authorized pool of Shares specified in section 4.1.

        The grant price of a Freestanding SAR shall equal the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the SAR. The grant price shall in all cases be determined when the SAR is granted. Except in the case of an equitable adjustment pursuant to Section 4.3, the grant price of an outstanding SAR shall not be changed by means of repricing or other means after the date of the SAR grant. In no event shall any SAR granted hereunder become exercisable within the first six months of its grant.

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

        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, with respect to a Tandem SAR granted in connection with an ISO, (i) the Tandem SAR will expire no later than the expiration of the



underlying ISO; (ii) the value of the payout with respect to the Tandem SAR may be for no more than 100 percent of the difference between the Option Price of the underlying ISO and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying ISO at the time the Tandem SAR is exercised; and (iii) the Tandem SAR may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the ISO exceeds the Option Price of the ISO.

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

        7.4    SAR Agreement.    Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the grant price, the term of the SAR, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.

        7.5    Term of SARs.    The term of a SAR granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the term of a Tandem SAR shall not exceed the term of the related Option, and the term of a Freestanding SAR shall not exceed ten years.

        7.6    Payment of SAR Amount.    Upon exercise of a SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

        At the discretion of the Committee, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

        7.7    Rule 16b-3 Requirements.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Committee may impose such conditions on exercise of a SAR (including, without limitation, the right of the Committee to limit the time of exercise to specified periods) as may be required to satisfy the requirements of Section 16 (or any successor rule) of the Exchange Act.

        For example, if the Participant is an Insider, the ability of the Participant to exercise SARs for cash will be limited to Window Periods. However, if the Committee determines that the Participant is not an Insider, or if the securities laws change to permit greater freedom of exercise of SARs, then the committee may permit exercise at any point in time, to the extent the SARs are otherwise exercisable under the Plan.

        7.8    Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability, or Retirement.    In the event the employment of a Participant is terminated by reason of death, Disability, or Retirement: (i) the forfeiture or vesting and continued exercisability of all outstanding Tandem SARs granted to that Participant shall be the same as the forfeiture, vesting and continued exercisability, if any, of the related Options, as determined under Section 6.8 of this Plan, and (ii) the forfeiture or vesting and continued exercisability of all outstanding Freestanding SARs shall be the same as if each Freestanding SAR were an Option subject to the rules of Section 6.8.

        7.9    Termination of Employment for Cause.    If the employment of a Participant shall be terminated by the Company for Cause, all outstanding SARs held by the Participant shall be forfeited to the Company immediately and no additional exercise period shall be allowed, regardless of the vested status of the SARs.

        7.10    Termination of Employment for Other Reasons.    If the employment of a Participant shall terminate for any reason other than the reasons set forth in Section 7.8 or 7.9: (i) the forfeiture or vesting and continued exercisability of all outstanding Tandem SARs granted to that Participant shall be the same as the forfeiture vesting and continued exercisability, if any, of the related Options, as determined under Section 6.10 of this Plan, and (ii) the forfeiture or vesting and continued exercisability of all outstanding Freestanding SARs shall be the same as if each Freestanding SAR were an Option subject to the rules of Section 6.10.



        7.11    Nontransferability of SARs.    No SAR granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, all SARs granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant.

ARTICLE 8.    RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

        8.1    Grant of Restricted Stock/Restricted Stock Units.    Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units to eligible Employees in such amounts as the Committee shall determine.

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

        8.3    Transferability.    Except as provided in this Article 8, the Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted herein may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction established by the Committee and specified in the governing Agreement. However, in no event may any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit granted under the Plan become vested in a Participant prior to six months following the date of its grant. All rights with respect to any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be available during his or her lifetime only to such Participant.

        8.4    Other Restrictions.    The Committee shall impose such other conditions and/or restrictions on any Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable including, without limitation, a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each Share of Restricted Stock or each Share provided in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance goals (Company-wide, divisional, and/or individual), and/or restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws; and may legend the certificates representing Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to give appropriate notice of such restrictions.

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

        The Company shall have the right to retain the certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock in the Company's possession until such time as all conditions and/or restrictions applicable to such Shares have been satisfied.

        8.6    Removal of Restrictions.    Except as otherwise provided in this Article 8, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan shall become freely transferable by the Participant after the last day of the Period of Restriction. Once the Shares are released from the restrictions, the Participant shall be entitled to have the legend required by Section 8.5 removed from his or her Share certificate.

        8.7    Voting Rights.    During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares.

        8.8    Dividends and Other Distributions.    During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be entitled to receive all regular cash dividends paid with respect to all Shares while they are so held. Except as provided in the succeeding sentence, in the



sole discretion of the Committee, other cash dividends and other distributions paid with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock may be paid to Participants or may be subjected to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

        In the event that any dividend constitutes a "derivative security" or an "equity security" pursuant to Rule 16(a) under the Exchange Act, such dividend shall be subject to a vesting period equal to the longer of: (i) the remaining vesting period of the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the dividend is paid; or (ii) six months. The Committee shall establish procedures for the application of this provision.

        8.9    Termination of Employment Due to Death or Disability.    In the event the employment of a Participant is terminated by reason of death or Disability, all outstanding Shares of restricted Stock shall immediately vest 100 percent as of the date of employment termination (in the case of Disability, the date employment terminates shall be deemed to be the date that the Committee determines the definition of Disability to have been satisfied). The holder of the certificates of Restricted Stock shall be entitled to have any nontransferability legends required under Sections 8.4 and 8.5 of this Plan removed from the Share certificates.

        8.10    Termination of Employment for Other Reasons.    If the employment of a Participant shall terminate for any reason other than those specifically set forth in section 8.9 herein, all Shares of Restricted Stock held by the Participant which are not vested as of the effective date of employment termination shall be forfeited immediately and returned to the Company; provided, however, that in the case of termination of employment by reason of retirement, the Committee may provide for accelerated vesting of some or all such Shares upon such terms as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

ARTICLE 9.    BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

        A Participant's "Beneficiary" is the person or persons entitled to receive payments or other benefits or exercise rights that are available under the Plan in the event of the Participant's death. A Participant may designate a Beneficiary or change a previous Beneficiary designation at any time by using forms and following procedures approved by the Committee for that purpose. If no Beneficiary designated by the Participant is eligible to receive payments or other benefits or exercise rights that are available under the Plan at the Participant's death, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant's estate. Notwithstanding the provisions above, the Committee may in its discretion, after notifying the affected Participants, modify the foregoing requirements, institute additional requirements for Beneficiary designations, or suspend the existing Beneficiary designations of living Participants or the process of determining Beneficiaries under this section, or both. If the Committee suspends the process of designating Beneficiaries on forms and in accordance with procedures it has approved pursuant to this section, the determination of who is a Participant's Beneficiary shall be made under the Participant's will and applicable state law.

ARTICLE 10.    DEFERRALS AND SHARE SETTLEMENTS

        The Committee may permit a Participant to defer such Participant's receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant by virtue of the exercise of an Option or SAR, or with respect to the lapse or waiver of restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units. If any such deferral election is required or permitted, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals. In addition, the Committee may require or permit a Participant to receive settlement in the form of Shares of equal or greater Fair Market Value that are provided under this Plan in lieu of any cash payment that the Participant would otherwise receive under the Company's One-Year Incentive Plan and/or Sustained Profit Growth Plan, or under any successor to either or both of these cash incentive plans.



ARTICLE 11.    RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES

        11.1    Employment.    Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company.

        For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant between the Company and any one of its Subsidiaries (or between Subsidiaries) shall not be deemed a termination of employment.

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

ARTICLE 12.    CHANGE IN CONTROL

        Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless otherwise specifically prohibited by the terms of Article 16 herein:

ARTICLE 13.    AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

        The Board may at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided, that no amendment which requires shareholder approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, including any successor to such Rule, shall be effective unless such amendment shall be approved by the requisite vote of shareholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon. Further, no amendment, modification, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall in any material manner affect any Award theretofore granted under the Plan without the written consent of the affected Participant or any person validly claiming under or through such Participant.

ARTICLE 14.    WITHHOLDING

        14.1    Tax Withholding.    The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising or as a result of this Plan.

        14.2    Share Withholding.    With respect to withholding required upon the exercise of Options or SARs upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or upon any other taxable event hereunder, Participants may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax which could be imposed on the transaction. All elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, signed by the Participant, and elections by Insiders shall additionally comply with the applicable requirement set forth in (a) or (b) of this section 14.2.


ARTICLE 15.    SUCCESSORS

        All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

ARTICLE 16.    LEGAL CONSTRUCTION

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

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

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

        Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in the Plan, if required by the then-current Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any "derivative security" or "equity security" offered pursuant to the Plan to any Insider may not be sold or transferred for at least six months after the date of grant of such Award. The terms "equity security" and "derivative security" shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the then-current Rule 16(a) under the Exchange Act.

        16.4    Securities Law Compliance.    With respect to Insiders, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions or Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the 1934 Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

        16.5    Governing Law.    To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii.

STOCK OPTION GRANT UNDER THE
BANK OF HAWAII CORPORATION
2004 STOCK AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(FOR STOCK WITH TRANSFERABILITY LIMITATION)

        This Agreement dated                        , between Bank of Hawaii Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Company"), with its registered office at 130 Merchant Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, and                        , an employee of the Company or subsidiary of the Company ("Optionee").

        1.    Grant of Option.    The Company hereby grants to Optionee, effective as of                        ("Grant Date"), the right and option ("Option") to purchase from the Company, for a price equal to the exercise price determined as described below ("Exercise Price"), up to                        shares of Company common stock ("Company Stock" or "Shares"). This grant of Option shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions set forth below and is being granted pursuant to the Bank of Hawaii Corporation 2004 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan ("Plan") in accordance with the authority and direction of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee ("Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors. The Option shall constitute a nonqualified stock option which is not a qualified stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code").

        2.    Terms and Conditions of Option.    

        3.    Additional Terms and Conditions.    



        4.    Share Adjustments.    The number of Shares subject to the Option and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted proportionately for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of common stock by reason of a merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, or other capital adjustments under Section 4.2 of the Plan. The adjustment required shall be made by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive. In no event shall the adjusted Exercise Price be less than the fair market value of the adjusted shares on the Date of Grant in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

        5.    No Rights as Shareholder.    Optionee shall acquire none of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares until a certificate for the Shares are issued to Optionee upon the exercise of the Option. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4 above, no adjustments shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities or other property) for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued.

        6.    Registration of Shares.    If a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of any option granted under the Plan is not in effect at the time of exercise, or if a registration statement with respect to said shares to Optionee is in effect but not with respect to Optionee's resale thereof and Optionee is an "affiliate" of the Company, then, in either such case, (a) as a condition of the issuance of the shares the person exercising such Option



shall give the Company a written statement, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, acknowledging that said shares may be reoffered or resold by Optionee only pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 or pursuant to a separate registration statement under said Act and (b) the Company may place upon any stock certificate for shares issuable upon exercise of such Option the following legend or such other legend as the Company may prescribe to prevent disposition of the shares in violation of the Securities Act of 1933:

        7.    Optionee Bound by Plan.    Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and acknowledges that Optionee shall be bound by its terms, regardless of whether such terms have been set forth in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is an inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, Optionee shall be bound by the terms of the Plan, which terms are incorporated herein by reference.

        8.    Employment Rights.    Neither the Plan nor the granting of the Option shall be a contract of employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Optionee may be discharged from employment at any time by the employing Company or subsidiary.

        9.    Amendment.    This Agreement may be amended by the Committee at any time based on its determination that the amendment is necessary or advisable in light of any addition to, or change in, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or regulations issued thereunder, or any federal or state securities law or other law or regulation, or the Plan, or based on any discretionary authority of the Committee under the Plan. However, unless necessary or advisable due to a change in law, any amendment to this Agreement which has a material adverse effect on the interest of Optionee under this Agreement shall be adopted only with the consent of Optionee.

        10.    Notices.    Any notice or other communication made in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed duly given when delivered in person or mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to Optionee at Optionee's address shown on Company records or such other address designated by Optionee by similar notice, or to the Company at its then principal office, to the attention of the Corporate Secretary of the Company. Further, such notice or other communication shall be deemed duly given when transmitted electronically to Optionee at Optionee's electronic mail address shown on Company records or, to the extent that Optionee is an active employee, through the Company's intranet.

        11.    No Advice, Warranties, or Representations.    The Company is not providing Optionee with advice, warranties, or representations regarding any of the legal or tax effects to Optionee with respect to the Option. Optionee is responsible to seek legal and tax advice from Optionee's own legal and tax advisors as may be appropriate or desirable.

        12.    Code Section 409A.    This grant of Option has been structured and is intended to meet the requirements for a stock option that does not provide for a "deferral of compensation" in accordance with Code Section 409A and underlying guidelines.

        13.    Miscellaneous.    This Agreement and the Plan set forth the final and entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, which shall be governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. This Agreement shall bind and benefit



Optionee, the heirs, distributees and personal representative of Optionee, and the Company and its successors and assigns.

        14.    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and said counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

The Company shall have the right to withhold with respect to the payment of any Restricted Shares any taxes required to be withheld because of such payment, including the withholding of Shares otherwise payable as part of the grant. Grantee shall comply with any and all legal requirements relating to Grantee's resale or other disposition of any Shares acquired under this Agreement. The certificates representing the Shares may bear such legend as described in Section 6 below and as counsel to the Company otherwise deems appropriate to assure compliance with applicable law.

        4.    Share Adjustments.    As the Committee shall determine, the number of Restricted Shares shall be adjusted proportionately for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of common stock by reason of a merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, or other capital adjustments in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Plan.

A COPY OF THE PLAN AND SUCH RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE BANK OF HAWAII.

        If, in the opinion of the Company and its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Shares granted under this Agreement is no longer required, Grantee under such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but without such legend.

        7.    Grantee Bound by Plan.    Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and acknowledges that Grantee shall be bound by its terms, regardless of whether such terms have been set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is an inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, Grantee shall be bound by the terms of the Plan, which terms are incorporated herein by reference.
