SECTION 1.AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES.

The Company has authorized the issue and sale of $40,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes consisting of (a) $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.84% Senior Notes, Series 2013A, due October 1, 2027 (the “Series A Notes”) and (b) $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.65% Senior Notes, Series 2013B, due October 1, 2043 (the “Series B Notes”).

The Series A Notes and the Series B Notes shall be substantially in the forms set out in Exhibit 1(a) and Exhibit 1(b), respectively. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; and references to a “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit attached to this Agreement.

SECTION 2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES; GUARANTY.

Section 2.1 Sale and Purchase of Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes of the series and in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several, and

If at the Closing the Company shall fail to tender such Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment.

Each Constituent Company has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement and, in the case of the Company, the Notes and to perform its obligations under the provisions hereof and thereof.

Section 5.2 Authorization, Etc.

(a) This Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon

-4-

execution and delivery thereof against payment of the purchase price therefor, each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(b) This Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Parent Guarantor, and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Parent Guarantor enforceable against the Parent Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Section 5.3 Disclosure. The Constituent Companies, through their agent, Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, have delivered to each Purchaser a copy of a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, dated August 29, 2013 (the “Memorandum”), relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Memorandum fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal properties of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries. This Agreement, the Memorandum (excluding information and market and industry data specifically identified as being from a third party source) and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Constituent Companies in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and identified on Schedule 5.3 and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 (this Agreement, the Memorandum and such documents, certificates or other writings and such financial statements delivered to each Purchaser prior to September 13, 2013 being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided that, with respect to market and industry data, projected financial information and other forward-looking information, each Constituent Company represents and warrants only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon information and assumptions believed by it to be reasonable at the time. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents (including the documents incorporated by reference therein), since December 31, 2012, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries except changes that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.4 Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates.

(a) Schedule 5.4 contains complete and correct lists (1) of the Parent Guarantor’s Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the name thereof, the

(c) Each Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and, where applicable, is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

(d) No Significant Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than the agreements listed on Schedule 10.5, the regulatory authority of the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting the ability of such Significant Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar Equity Interests of such Significant Subsidiary.

Section 5.5 Financial Statements; Material Liabilities. The Constituent Companies have delivered to each Purchaser copies of the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5. All of said financial statements (including, in each case, any related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to the absence of complete notes and to normal year-end adjustments). The Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries do not have any Material liabilities that are not disclosed on or expressly reserved for in such financial statements or otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Documents.

Section 5.6 Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance (a) by the Company of this Agreement and the Notes and (b) by the Parent Guarantor of this Agreement will not (1) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Parent

-6-

Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by-laws, shareholders agreement or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Parent Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is bound or by which the Parent Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (2) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or (3) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries.

Section 5.7 Governmental Authorizations, Etc. Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 6, no consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by (a) the Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement or the Notes or (b) the Parent Guarantor in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Parent Guarantor of this Agreement except as set forth in Schedule 5.7 and except for the filing of a Form 8-K and a Form D with the SEC and any necessary Blue Sky filings. On the date of the Closing, each item listed on Schedule 5.7 shall have been duly obtained, will be final and in full force and effect and will not be subject to appeal or any condition which has not been satisfied.

Section 5.8 Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders.

(a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of either Constituent Company, threatened against the Parent Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any property of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither the Parent Guarantor nor any of its Significant Subsidiaries is (1) in default under any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (2) in violation of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or (3) in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, ERISA, the USA PATRIOT Act or any of the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16), which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.9 Taxes. The Parent Guarantor and its Significant Subsidiaries have filed all income and other material tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (a) the amount of which is not, individually or in the

-7-

aggregate, Material or (b) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate actions or proceedings and with respect to which the Parent Guarantor or one of its Significant Subsidiaries, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. Neither Constituent Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Parent Guarantor and its Significant Subsidiaries in respect of U.S. federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The U.S. federal income tax liabilities of the Parent Guarantor and its Significant Subsidiaries have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Section 5.10 Title to Property; Leases. The Parent Guarantor and its Significant Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title or valid leasehold interests to their respective properties owned or leased by them that, individually or in the aggregate, are Material, including all such properties reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have been acquired by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries after said date (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens. All leases to which the Parent Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is a party that, individually or in the aggregate, are Material are valid and are in full force and effect in all material respects.

Section 5.11 Licenses, Permits, Etc.

(a) The Parent Guarantor and its Significant Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks, trademarks, trade names and domain names or rights thereto, without known conflict with the rights of others, except where the failure to own or possess the same would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) To the Knowledge of each Constituent Company, no product or service of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries infringes in any material respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service xxxx, trademark, trade name, domain name or other right owned by any other Person.

(c) To the Knowledge of each Constituent Company, there is no violation by any Person of any right of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries with respect to any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service xxxx, trademark, trade name, domain name or other right owned or used by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, except for such violations that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 20 days, and not more than 60 days, prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify such prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Company as to the estimated Make‑Whole Amount, if any, due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation.

Section 8.3 Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

Section 8.4 Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.5 Purchase of Notes. The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any of their Affiliates to, purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase, made by a Constituent Company or an Affiliate, pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding, upon the same terms and conditions but taking into account the different maturity dates and interest rates for each series of Notes. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 10 Business Days. If the holders of more than 25% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the relevant Constituent Company shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least five Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.6 Make-Whole Amount. “Make-Whole Amount” shall mean, with respect to any Note of a series, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note, over the amount of such Called Principal, provided, however, that the Make‑Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make‑Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” shall mean, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date

-21-

with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the applicable Note is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the yield(s) reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury Securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury Securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury Securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to, and greater than, such Remaining Average Life, and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to, and less than, such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” shall mean, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (1) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (2) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360‑day year composed of twelve 30‑day months calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

-22-

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of such Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7 Offer to Prepay Notes in the Event of a Change in Control.

(a) Notice of Change in Control. The Company will, within five Business Days after a Constituent Company has Knowledge of the occurrence of a Change in Control, give written notice of such Change in Control to each holder of record of the Notes (determined as of the date of such notice).

(b) Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by Sections 8.7(a) shall be an offer to each holder to prepay, on a date specified in such offer (the “Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date”), in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.7, all, but not less than all, of the Notes held by such holder. Such Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such offer (or if the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the Business Day nearest to the 30th day after the date of such offer).

(c) Acceptance; Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept or reject the offer to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Notes held by such holder made pursuant to this Section 8.7 by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Company at least five Business Days prior to the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to so respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 or an attempt by such holder to accept the offer other than with respect to all Notes held by such holder shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder.

(d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment but without any Make-Whole Amount.

(f) “Change in Control” shall mean that HEI shall cease to own 100% of the voting capital stock or other equity or voting interests of the Parent Guarantor that is ordinarily entitled, in the absence of contingencies, to vote in the election of the Parent Guarantor’s directors (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, preferred stock or other Securities of the Parent Guarantor the holders of which may be entitled to vote to elect directors only upon a default or under other limited circumstances specified in such Securities); provided, that the event specified above shall not constitute a “Change in Control” if, on the day of the occurrence of such event and at all times during the period of 90 consecutive days thereafter (the “Ratings Period”), the long-term unsecured, unenhanced Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor shall maintain an Investment Grade Rating by at least one Ratings Agency or, if more than one Ratings Agency shall rate such Indebtedness during such Ratings Period, each such Ratings Agency.

Section 8.8 Offer to Prepay Upon Sale of Assets.

(a) Notice and Offer.

Such notice shall be sent to each holder of record of the Notes (determined as of the date of such notice) and such notice shall also state (1) that such offer is being made pursuant to this Section 8.8 and that the failure by such holder to respond to such offer by the deadline established in Section 8.8(b) or to accept such offer with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Notes held by it shall result in such offer to such holder being deemed rejected; (2) the Ratable Portion of each such Note held by such holder offered to be prepaid; (3) the prepayment price of each Note as described in Section 8.8(b); (4) the

-24-

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for), and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

Section 12.2 Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding

Section 12.3 Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the applicable Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 18 and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes.

Section 12.4 No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Constituent Companies under Section 16, the Constituent Companies will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection action under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

Section 13.3 Guaranty of Payment.

Section 13.4 Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Parent Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any holder of the Notes to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Parent Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Parent Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Section 13.5 Reinstatement. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that the guaranty herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of the Notes upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

Section 13.6 Payment on Demand.

-38-

applicable law).

Section 13.7 Stay of Acceleration. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that, as between itself, on the one hand, and the holders of the Notes, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Agreement for the purposes of the guaranty herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (b) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Parent Guarantor for the purposes of this guaranty.

Section 13.8 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, the Parent Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any holder of the Notes against the Company or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by any holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Parent Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company in respect of payments made by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the holders of the Notes by the Company on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Parent Guarantor in trust for the holders of the Notes, segregated from other funds of the Parent Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Parent Guarantor, be turned over to the holders of the Notes in the exact form received by the Parent Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Parent Guarantor to the holders of the Notes, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

Section 13.9 Marshalling. No holder of the Notes shall be under any obligation: (a) to marshal any assets in favor of the Parent Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Company under or in respect of the Notes and this Agreement or the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that the Parent Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lighten the Parent Guarantor’s burden, any right to which the Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives.

So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 15.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and all other amounts becoming due hereunder by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of such Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by any Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election,

-41-

either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 14.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 15.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 15.2.

SECTION 16. EXPENSES, ETC.

Section 16.1 Transaction Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Constituent Companies will pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of a special counsel and, if reasonably required by the Required Holders, local or other counsel) incurred by the Purchasers and each other holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement or the Notes (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without limitation: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement or the Notes or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement or the Notes or by reason of being a holder of any Note, (b) the costs and expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of a Constituent Company or any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes and (c) the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the initial filing of this Agreement and all related documents and financial information with the SVO; provided, that such reimbursed costs and expenses shall not exceed $3,300 for any series of Notes. The Constituent Companies will pay, and will save each Purchaser and each other holder of a Note harmless from, all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, owing to brokers and finders (other than those, if any, retained by a Purchaser or other holder in connection with its purchase of the Notes).

Section 16.2 Survival. The obligations of the Constituent Companies under this Section 16 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 17. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of a Constituent Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of such Constituent Company under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Constituent Companies and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

-42-

SECTION 18. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

Section 18.1 Requirements. This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Constituent Companies and the Required Holders, except that:

(a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 22 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing;

(b) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding, (1) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of (i) interest on the Notes or (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, (2) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver or (3) amend any of Sections 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 13, 18 or 21.

Section 18.2 Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a) Solicitation. The Constituent Companies will provide each holder of a Note (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes. The Constituent Companies will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 18 to each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. The Constituent Companies will not, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of a Note as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any Note unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of a Note even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent made pursuant to this Section 18 by a holder of Notes that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Notes to a Constituent Company or any other Person and has provided or has agreed to provide such written consent as a condition to such transfer shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under

-43-

the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

Section 18.3 Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 18 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Constituent Companies without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between a Constituent Company and any holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note.

Section 18.4 Notes Held by a Constituent Company, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by a Constituent Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

SECTION 20. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.

This Agreement and all documents relating hereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers, amendments and other modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any holder of the Notes, may be reproduced by such holder by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital or other similar process and such holder may destroy any original document so reproduced. Each Constituent Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such holder of the Notes in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 20 shall not prohibit a Constituent Company or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

SECTION 21. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 21, “Confidential Information” shall mean information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of a Constituent Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of such Constituent Company or such Subsidiary; provided, that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by a Constituent Company or any Subsidiary unless the direct or indirect source of such information is known by such Purchaser to be obligated to hold such information in confidence or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser; provided, that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (1) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (2) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 21, (3) any other holder of any Note, (4) any Institutional Investor to which such Purchaser sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 21), (5) any Person from which such Purchaser offers to purchase any Security of a Constituent Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential

-46-

Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 21), (6) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (7) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio or (8) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (i) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (ii) in response to any subpoena or other legal process (and, subject to clause (iv) below, if not prohibited by applicable law or regulation, such Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give notice thereof to the Constituent Companies prior to such disclosure), (iii) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party (and, subject to clause (iv) below, if not prohibited by applicable law or regulation, such Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give notice thereof to the Constituent Companies prior to such disclosure) or (iv) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes or this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of such Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 21 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by a Constituent Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Constituent Companies embodying the provisions of this Section 21.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to a Constituent Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from the terms of this Section 21, the terms of this Section 21 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser and the Constituent Companies, this Section 21 shall supersede the terms of any such other confidentiality undertaking.

SECTION 22. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Constituent Companies, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Constituent Companies of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such

-47-

original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

SECTION 23. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 23.1 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.

Section 23.2 Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

Section 23.3 Accounting Terms; Change in GAAP.

(a) All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (1) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (2) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with the covenants set out in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Parent Guarantor to measure any financial asset or liability using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic No. 000-00-00 – Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments; Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.

(b) If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in this Agreement, and the Constituent Companies or the Required Holders shall so request, representatives of the holders of the Notes designated by the Required Holders at such time and the Constituent Companies shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Holders); provided that, until so amended, (1) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein, and (2) the Constituent Companies shall provide to the holders of the Notes that are Institutional Investors financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

-48-

Section 23.4 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 23.5 Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

Section 23.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of an original, manually executed counterpart of such signature page.

Section 23.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would require or permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Section 23.8 Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each Constituent Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Constituent Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) Each Constituent Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 23.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 19 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each Constituent Company agrees that such service upon receipt (1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (2) shall, to the fullest extent permitted

-49-

by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(c) Nothing in this Section 23.8 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against a Constituent Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(d) THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

RESTRICTIVE AGREEMENTS

The following restrictions and conditions exist on October 3, 2013:

Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (“HECO”) Credit Agreement dated May, 7 2010, amended to expire on December 5, 2016, by and between HECO, the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent restricts the ability of HECO and its “Significant Subsidiaries,” as defined therein, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any of its Affiliates, as defined therein, on a non-arms length basis.

Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc., Maui Electric Company, Ltd. (“MECO”) and Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. (“HELCO”) are subject to restrictive covenants in connection with the offer and sale in March 2004 of Cumulative Quarterly Income Preferred Securities, as disclosed in the Registration Statements on Form X-0, Xxxxx. Nos. 333-111073, 000-000000-00, 000-000000-00 and 000-000000-00 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

HECO, MECO and HELCO are subject to restrictive covenants in connection with their cumulative preferred stock financings to the effect that, until dividends have been paid or declared or set apart for payment on all shares of the respective company’s cumulative preferred stock, (a) no distributions on the respective company’s common stock or any future class of stock except cumulative preferred stock shall be made and (b) the respective company shall not purchase or otherwise acquire any of the respective company’s common stock or any future class of stock except cumulative preferred stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution, receivership, bankruptcy, disincorporation or winding up of the affairs of the respective company, cumulative preferred stockholders are entitled to the par value of their shares and accrued and unpaid dividends, before any distribution is made to holders of the respective company's common stock or any future class of stock except cumulative preferred stock.

HECO is subject to restrictive covenants in connection with its cumulative preferred stock financings to the effect that, as long as any shares of the respective series of cumulative preferred stock are outstanding, HECO shall not affect the merger or consolidation of HECO, or sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of the property and assets of HECO, without first obtaining the consent in writing of the holders of at least 75% of each of the respective outstanding series of cumulative preferred stock, provided that said consent shall not be required to make a mortgage, pledge, assignment or transfer of all or any part of its assets as security for any obligation or liability of any kind or nature.


5.	HECO, MECO and HELCO are subject to restrictive covenants in connection with their special purpose revenue bonds which contain provisions to the effect that HECO, MECO and HELCO shall not dissolve or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its assets,

SCHEDULE 10.5

(to Note Purchase and Guaranty Agreement)

and will not consolidate with or merge into another entity or permit other entities to consolidate with or merge into it, unless certain specific requirements are met.

HECO, MECO and HELCO are subject to restrictive covenants in connection with their Note Purchase Agreements dated as of April 19, 2012 and HECO’s Note Purchase Agreement dated as of September 13, 2012 (together the “Note Agreements”), pursuant to which several series of unsecured notes were issued in private placements. The Note Agreements contain affirmative and negative restrictions, including a negative covenant that HECO will not permit the ratio of any Significant Subsidiaries’ Consolidated Subsidiary Funded Debt to its Capitalization exceed a specified level, and this restriction could operate indirectly to restrict the ability of Significant Subsidiaries to make Restricted Payments to HECO. HECO also entered into two similar Note Purchase Agreements of the same April 19 date under which it is a “Guarantor” of MECO (in one such Agreement) and a Guarantor of HELCO (in another such Agreement). Each of these agreements contains similar negative covenants relating to MECO and HELCO (as well as HECO) relating to their respective Consolidated Subsidiary Funded Debt to Capitalization ratios and those of their respective Significant Subsidiaries. The affirmative and negative restrictions are disclosed in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2012 and September 14, 2012, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

HECO, MECO and HELCO are subject to restrictive covenants in connection with their Note Purchase Agreements being entered into concurrently on or about October 3, 2013 (together, the “October 2013 Note Agreements”) and to which this Schedule 10.5 relates and pursuant to which unsecured notes are being issued in a private placement. The October 2013 Note Agreements contain affirmative and negative covenants which are similar to those in the HECO, MECO and HELCO Note Purchase Agreements dated as of April 19, 2012 and HECO’s Note Purchase Agreement dated as of September 13, 2012 and which are discussed in item 6 of this Schedule 10.5.
