Dear WI Implementations:

This letter relates to plan investment options available under the Master Trust Agreement for the Plans entered into between Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. and American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (collectively and individually, the “Sponsor”) and Fidelity Management Trust Company (“Fidelity”) dated as of September 4, 2012, and amended by a First Amendment effective March 1, 2015, and further amended by letters of direction executed by the Sponsor and the Trustee which specifically state that both parties intend and agree that each such letter of direction shall constitute an amendment (the “Agreement”). The parties intend and agree that this letter shall constitute a further amendment to the Agreement to the extent the direction contained herein modifies the investment options available under the Plans and/or to the extent the directions modify the investment option(s) to be used for the investment of assets for which Fidelity has not received investment direction from the Sponsor or participants as applicable.

The Sponsor hereby directs Fidelity to implement the Plan investment option changes described in the attached Direction to Change Investment Options and subject to the terms thereof.

The parties acknowledge that the Sponsor is capable of evaluating investment risks independently. The Sponsor affirms that at all times all decisions concerning the Plan's investment line-up or its investment strategies, including, but not limited to, evaluations of information provided by Fidelity or its affiliates, shall be made by exercising independent judgment.

In lieu of receiving a printed copy of the prospectus for each Fidelity and Non-Fidelity Mutual Fund selected by the Named Fiduciary (for qualified ERISA plans) or the Sponsor (for non-ERISA and non-qualified plans) as a Plan investment option or short-term investment fund, the Named Fiduciary or Sponsor as applicable, hereby consents to receiving such documents electronically. The Named Fiduciary or Sponsor as applicable, shall access each prospectus as described below after receiving notice from Fidelity that a current version is available online at a website maintained by Fidelity or its affiliate. The Named Fiduciary or Sponsor as applicable, acknowledges that on the effective date of this letter amendment, prospectuses are available in the Mutual Fund detail in the Plan's Investment Performance and Research section on Fidelity NetBenefits, and Fidelity Fund prospectuses are available at http://www.fidelity.com/workplacedocuments. Fidelity may from time to time notify the Named Fiduciary or Sponsor as applicable that prospectuses are available at alternative website locations. The Named Fiduciary or Sponsor represents that by the effective date, it has accessed each such prospectus in the manner described above. In the event a prospectus for a Plan investment option cannot be accessed, the Named Fiduciary or Sponsor as applicable will contact Fidelity to receive the prospectus.

Sponsor hereby acknowledges that eligibility for the Fidelity Freedom Index Funds - Institutional Premium Class is subject to certain business requirements which may change from time to time, but would ordinarily include, although not be limited to, a requirement that Sponsor has at least $100 million in total defined contribution plan assets record-kept at Fidelity. Sponsor further understands that in the event such business requirements are not met, the Plans may no longer be eligible for Fidelity Freedom Index Funds - Institutional Premium Class. Fidelity shall provide notice to Sponsor if the Plans are no longer eligible for Fidelity Freedom Index Funds - Institutional Premium Class. If the Plans are no longer eligible for Fidelity Freedom Index Funds - Institutional Premium Class, such positions will be liquidated and the proceeds will be invested at the direction of Sponsor. The timing of such liquidation will be mutually agreed upon by both Sponsor and Fidelity but shall in no event be permitted to extend more than ninety (90) days past Fidelity’s notice of ineligibility.

Timeframes:

Fidelity will implement the fund changes directed by the Sponsor on the dates specified in the attached Direction to Change Investment Options and deliver communications in a timely manner as described herein, provided Fidelity is in receipt of this signed letter by June 30, 2017. The fund changes described herein will not be implemented and communications not delivered unless this signed letter is received by Fidelity by June 30, 2017.

This letter (including any attachments hereto, each of which is incorporated herein by reference) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no representations, understandings or agreements relating to the directions given in this letter that are not fully expressed herein. The Sponsor recognizes the importance of changes to a Plan's investment choices and the significant risks (financial and otherwise) associated with any incorrect actions in this regard and therefore confirms that it has read this letter fully and understands and confirms the accuracy of the directions being provided herein.

By signing below, the undersigned represent that they are authorized to execute this document on behalf of the respective parties. Notwithstanding any contradictory provision of any Agreement, each party may rely without duty of inquiry on the foregoing representation.

Fidelity Freedom® Index Fund - Institutional Premium Class Age Default for Participants with a valid Date of Birth.

The table below describes the Fidelity methodology for applying the Fidelity Freedom® Index Fund - Institutional Premium Class by DOB. The Fidelity allocation is based on the Fidelity Freedom® Index Fund - Institutional Premium Class objectives as described in the Funds' Prospectus.

Fund Name	Fund Code	Retirement Date Range	DOB Range
Fidelity Freedom® Index Income Fund - Institutional Premium Class	2764	Retired before 2003	Before 1938

B. Fidelity Freedom® Index Fund - Institutional Premium Class Age Default will apply to all sources of money listed below:

No changes to previously included sources

The Sponsor hereby directs that, for Plan assets allocated to a Plan participant’s account where Fidelity fails to receive a proper direction from the Plan participant, such Plan assets shall be invested in the age-appropriate Fidelity Freedom® Index Fund - Institutional Premium Class determined according to the methodology set forth above and on the appropriate live date specified above.

In the case of unallocated Plan assets, the termination or reallocation of an investment option, or Plan assets described in Section 5(e) (vi)(B)(5) of the Agreement, the Plan’s default investment shall be the Fidelity® Government Money Market Fund - Premium Class (2741) or such other investment option as the Named Fiduciary may designate by letter of direction to the Trustee.

Communications Strategy

The fund change notification for all Plan participants and beneficiaries with a balance and all eligible employees has and/or will be drafted by Fidelity, reviewed and approved by the Sponsor with a representative of Fidelity in advance to review the accuracy of the notification in order to meet the confirmed delivery date. Sponsor has confirmed for Fidelity that no status code should be omitted from the fund change notifications.

Fidelity will distribute the fund change notification electronically, via email and NetBenefits, with print distribution to all beneficiaries and participants who do not have a valid email address on file. Communications will be sent out at least 30 days prior to the earliest effective date unless otherwise directed by the Sponsor.

Sponsor has worked with Fidelity to confirm that the Plan investment option changes described herein shall not result in a “blackout period” as defined in Section 101(i)(7) of ERISA.
