Award Date:
  
Number of Shares Subject to Award:
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Award shall be determined in accordance with the Vesting Schedule below. For purposes of the percentage calculations set forth in the Performance Vesting section of such schedule, the designated number of shares of Common Stock to be utilized is           shares (the “Designated Shares”).
Vesting Schedule:
The number of shares of Common Stock which may actually vest and become issuable pursuant to the Award shall be determined pursuant to a two-step process: (i) first there shall be calculated the maximum number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant can vest under the Performance Vesting section below based upon the actual level at which each of the Performance Goals specified on attached Schedule I is attained and (ii) then the number of shares calculated under clause (i) in which Participant may actually vest shall be determined on the basis of his or her satisfaction of the applicable Service vesting requirements set forth in the form Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.
 
Performance Vesting:  Attached Schedule I specifies each of the Performance Goals established for the Performance Period. For each Performance Goal, there are three designated levels of attainment set forth in Schedule I: Threshold, Target and Extraordinary. The Designated Shares subject to this Award are hereby allotted to each Performance Goal as follows:  (i) _______ percent (__%) of the Designated Shares is allotted to Performance Goal One set forth in Schedule I, and (ii) the remaining _______ percent (__%) of the Designated Shares is allotted to Performance Goal Two set forth in Schedule I. Within sixty (60) days after the completion of the Performance Period, the Plan Administrator shall determine and certify the actual level of attainment for each Performance Goal and shall then measure that level of attainment against the Threshold, Target and Extraordinary Levels set forth for that Performance Goal in attached Schedule I.  The maximum number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant can vest based upon the actual level of attainment of each Performance Goal shall be determined by applying the corresponding  percentage below for that level of attainment to the number of Designated Shares allotted to that particular Performance Goal in accordance with forgoing allocation (the “Allotted Shares”):
 
Attainment below the Threshold Level:   0% of the Allotted Shares
Attainment at the Threshold Level:    50% of the Allotted Shares
Attainment at the Target Level:              100% of the Allotted Shares
Attainment at Extraordinary Level:                 200% of the Allotted Shares
 
To the extent the actual level of attainment of a Performance Goal is at a point between the Threshold and Target Levels, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock allotted to that Performance Goal in which Participant can vest shall be pro-rated between the two points on a straight line basis.
 
To the extent the actual level of attainment of a Performance Goal is at a point between the Target and Extraordinary Levels, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock allotted to that Performance Goal in which Participant can vest shall be pro-rated between the two points on a straight line basis.
 
The maximum number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant can vest on the basis of the foregoing performance measures shall be hereinafter designated the “Performance Shares” and shall in no event exceed in the aggregate 200% of the number of Designated Shares set forth in the Number of Shares Subject to Award section above.
 
Service Vesting.  The number of Performance Shares in which Participant actually vests shall be determined on the basis of his or her satisfaction of the Service-vesting requirements set forth in Paragraph 3 of the form Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.
 
Participant understands and agrees that the Award is granted subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Plan and hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and the terms of the Award as set forth in the form Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.  A copy of the Plan is available upon request made to the Human Resources Department at the Corporation’s principal offices (822 Bishop Street, Honolulu, HI 96813).
