Exhibit 10.33
MATSON, INC.
EXECUTIVE SURVIVOR/RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN
Effective June 29, 2012
ARTICLE I
ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE
1.01 Establishment of Plan. Pursuant to a corporate reorganization, Alexander & Baldwin, Inc., a Hawaii corporation incorporated in 1900, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alexander & Baldwin Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") and Holdings assumed all the liabilities under the A&B Executive Survivor/Retirement Benefit Plan. Holdings then effected a spin-off distribution of A & B II, Inc., renamed Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. ("New A&B") by distributing all of Holdings' outstanding common stock in New A&B to Holdings shareholders (the "Distribution"). At that time, Holdings was renamed Matson, Inc. ("Matson") and New A&B assumed that portion of the liabilities under the Plan attributable to New A&B Participants (as defined in the Employee Matters Agreement by and between Matson and A&B dated as of June 8, 2012). As plan sponsor, Holdings adopted the amended, renamed and restated Matson, Inc. Executive Survivor/Retirement Benefit Plan (the "Plan") effective as of the date of the Distribution.
1.02 Purpose of Plan. It is the purpose of the Plan to provide supplemental pre-retirement death benefits, supplemental retirement benefits, and an optional supplemental post retirement death benefit for certain designated executives of the Employer. The Plan is intended to be exempt from the participation, vesting, funding and fiduciary requirements of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 because it provides unfunded benefits for a select group of management and highly compensated employees.

Otherwise, such failure to return to employee status shall be deemed an involuntary Separation from Service. Paragraph 4.12(c) shall be applied in determining whether the Participant has experienced a Separation from Service.
