Dear WI Implementations:
This letter relates to the Plan investment options available under the Master Trust Agreement between Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. and American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (collectively and individually, the “Sponsor”) and Fidelity Management Trust Company (“Trustee” or “Fidelity”), dated 02/01/2000, as amended, for the Plan(s) (the “Agreement”). The parties intend and agree that this letter shall constitute an amendment to the Agreement and the parties shall make corresponding changes to the Plan Administration Manual to the extent the direction contained herein modifies the investment options available under the Plan(s) and/or to the extent the directions modify the investment option(s) to be used for the investment of assets for which the Trustee has not received investment direction from the Sponsor or participants as applicable.
Sponsor hereby directs Trustee to implement the Plan investment option changes described in the attached Direction to Change Investment Options and subject to the terms thereof.
On and after the date hereof, in lieu of receiving a printed copy of the prospectus for each Fidelity Mutual Fund selected by the Named Fiduciary as a new Plan investment option or short-term investment fund, Sponsor hereby acknowledges that the Named Fiduciary consents to receiving such documents electronically. Sponsor agrees that the Named Fiduciary shall access each prospectus on the Internet after receiving notice from Trustee that a current version is available online at a website maintained by Trustee or its affiliate. Trustee represents that on the effective date of this letter, a current version of each such prospectus is available at http://www.fidelity.com and the parties understand that such information may move to such successor website as Trustee may notify Named Fiduciary of in writing from time to time. Sponsor hereby confirms that the Named Fiduciary has accessed/will access each such prospectus at the then-current site.
Fidelity Confidential Project Number: 3932998
Sponsor hereby acknowledges that the Named Fiduciary has received from Trustee via regular mail a paper copy of the prospectus for each Fidelity Freedom K® Fund selected by the Named Fiduciary as a Plan investment option and added pursuant to this letter. Sponsor hereby confirms that the Named Fiduciary understands that current versions of Fidelity Freedom K® Fund prospectus(es) are not available at this time online at www.fidelity.com.
Sponsor hereby acknowledges that eligibility for the Fidelity Freedom K® Funds are 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 $20 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 K® Funds. Trustee shall provide notice to Sponsor if the Plans are no longer eligible for Fidelity Freedom K® Funds. If the Plans are no longer eligible for Fidelity Freedom K® Funds, 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 Trustee but shall in no event be permitted to extend more than ninety (90) days past Trustee’s notice of ineligibility.
Fees paid directly to any Fidelity affiliate by non-Fidelity mutual fund vendors will be posted and updated quarterly on Plan Sponsor Webstation at http://psw.fidelity.com or a successor site.
Timeframes
Trustee will implement the fund change(s) directed by Sponsor on the dates specified in the attached Direction to Change Investment Options and deliver communications in a timely manner as described herein, provided Trustee is in receipt of this signed letter by 02/13/2012. The fund change(s) described herein will not be implemented and communications not delivered unless this signed letter is received by Trustee by 02/13/2012.
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. 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, 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.

B. Freedom K® Fund Age Default will apply to all sources of money listed below:
No changes to previously included sources
IV. Communication Strategy

Trustee will provide Sponsor with a draft of the notification in advance to review the accuracy of the notification in order to meet the confirmed delivery date. Communications will be sent out at least 30 days prior to the earliest effective date unless otherwise directed by the Sponsor.
Trustee will distribute the fund change notification electronically, via standard email notification and NetBenefits, with print distribution to all beneficiaries and to participants who do not have a valid email address on file.
Sponsor has worked with Trustee to confirm that the Plan investment option changes described in the Direction to Change Investment Options shall not result in a “blackout period” within the meaning of ERISA regulations and applicable DOL rules.
