Exhibit 10.1
AMENDED AND RESTATED RETENTION AGREEMENT
Between Bank of Hawaii and Kent T. Lucien dated July 1, 2013
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED RETENTION AGREEMENT (“Restatement”) is made and entered into effective on July 1, 2013 (“Effective Date”) by and between Bank of Hawaii Corporation and Bank of Hawaii (collectively “the Bank”) and Kent T. Lucien (“you” or “your”), and as approved by the Human Resources & Compensation Committee of the Bank's Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”).
WITNESSETH THAT:
WHEREAS, the Bank and you have entered into that certain Retention Agreement dated June 25, 2010 as amended on January 20, 2012 (as amended, the “Agreement”) under which you may become entitled to a monetary payment upon your separation from service with the Bank, provided certain conditions are met; and
WHEREAS, the Bank and you would like to further amend and restate the Agreement by eliminating the monetary payment payable to you upon your separation from service and instead provide for a Retention Payment (defined below) being payable to you provided that (i) you remain employed with the Bank through the Retention Date (defined below) and (ii) certain Performance Conditions (defined below) are satisfied as of the Retention Date.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereto of the parties, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by both parties, the Bank and you agree to amend and completely restate the Agreement through the adoption of this Restatement, as follows:
| 1. | Duties for the Bank. You will continue in at-will employment with the Bank in the position of Vice Chair and Chief Financial Officer or in any other position as determined by the Bank. |
| 2. | Retention Payment (“Monetary Consideration”). Provided that (a) you remain employed with the Bank through July 31, 2014, (the “Retention Date”), and (b) the Performance Conditions (defined below) are satisfied as of the Retention Date, then you will be entitled to a payment of $425,000.00 (the “Retention Payment”), less amounts required to satisfy tax withholding or other withholding liabilities under state or federal law. The Retention Payment payable to you will be paid as a single lump sum on August 15, 2014 (the “Retention Payment Date”). If you fail to remain employed with the Bank through the Retention Date, or if the Performance Conditions have not been satisfied as of the Retention Date, you will completely forfeit any rights to the Retention Payment. For purposes of this Restatement, “Performance Conditions” are satisfied if and only if the Bank has achieved positive net income for the period commencing April 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014, as publicly announced by the Bank in its earnings releases for such period. Moreover, in the event that, at the time of payment, you are a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Bank's Compensation Committee must certify in writing |

| h. | This Restatement is intended to meet the requirements of Code section 409A, so that the Retention Payment is not includible in your gross income under Code section 409A(a)(1)(A) and the terms of this Restatement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent. |
| i. | The Retention Payment is intended to be “qualified performance based compensation” as that term is defined under Code section 162(m), so that the |
