Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
- ----------------------------------------------------------
On April 20, 2006, Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. ("A&B") entered into a
three-year unsecured note purchase and private shelf agreement, dated as of
April 19, 2006, ("Agreement") with Prudential Investment Management, Inc., The
Prudential Insurance Company of America, Prudential Retirement Insurance and
Annuity Company, Gibraltar Life Insurance Co., Ltd., and The Prudential
Insurance Company, Ltd. (individually and collectively, "Prudential") under
which A&B may issue notes in an aggregate amount up to $400,000,000 less the sum
of all principal amounts then outstanding on any notes issued by A&B or any of
its subsidiaries to Prudential and the amount of any such notes then committed
to be purchased by Prudential. The Agreement also provides for the commitment by
Prudential to purchase and, subject to a right of cancellation by A&B, the
commitment by A&B to issue three new series of senior promissory notes totaling
$125,000,000. The proceeds from such notes may be used by A&B for general
business purposes and for real estate activities.
The Agreement replaces a $75,000,000 private shelf agreement between
A&B and Prudential that expired in March 2006, against which no amounts had been
drawn.
Described below is each of the three series of senior promissory notes,
in aggregate totaling $125,000,000, to which Prudential is committed under the
Agreement to purchase and, subject to a right of cancellation by A&B, A&B is
committed under the Agreement to issue.
The Series A notes will total $50 million and will be drawn on December
20, 2006. They will carry interest at an annual fixed-rate of 5.53% and will be
repayable in twelve equal semi-annual installments of principal in the amount of
$4,166,666.67, commencing on June 20, 2011, with a final maturity on December
20, 2016.
The Series B notes will total $50 million and will be drawn on March
20, 2007. They will carry interest at an annual fixed-rate of 5.55% and will be
repayable in ten equal semi-annual installments of principal in the amount of
$5,000,000, commencing on September 20, 2012, with a final maturity on March 20,
2017.
The Series C notes will total $25 million and will be drawn on June 20,
2007. They will carry interest at an annual fixed-rate of 5.56% and will be
repayable in five equal semi-annual installments of principal in the amount of
$5,000,000, commencing on June 20, 2014, with a final maturity on June 20, 2016.
As of April 20, 2006, A&B had outstanding balances of $97,857,000 under
several existing unsecured notes issued to Prudential, with an average interest
rate of 6.27%. Certain covenants contained in the Agreement, including all of
the negative covenants contained in Section 6 of the Agreement, supersede the
comparable provisions of the existing notes issued by A&B to Prudential.
Additionally, as of April 20, 2006, Matson Navigation Company, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of A&B ("Matson"), had an outstanding balance of
$114,500,000 under two existing secured notes with Prudential, with an average
interest rate of 4.74%. The Agreement does not affect the terms, conditions or
definitions of the existing Matson notes.
The Agreement provides that during the three-year term of the
Agreement, A&B may request that Prudential purchase notes to be issued by A&B in
an amount up to $400,000,000 less the sum of all principal amounts then
outstanding on any notes issued by A&B or any of its subsidiaries to Prudential
or the amount of any such notes then committed to be purchased by Prudential. As
of April 20, 2006, the principal amount then outstanding on all existing A&B and
Matson notes totaled $212,357,000. Therefore, when the Agreement was executed,
A&B could issue notes under the Agreement in an amount totaling $187,643,000. Of
this total, Prudential has committed to purchase $125,000,000 of new A&B notes
under the Series A, B and C notes described above, leaving $62,643,000 in
uncommitted availability under the Agreement.
As A&B and Matson repay the principal outstanding on notes held by
Prudential, the principal amount of notes that are available to be issued by A&B
under the Agreement increases. The scheduled principal repayments on existing
notes held by Prudential,during the term of the Agreement, are: $26,500,000 for
the period April 21 through December 31, 2006, $26,500,000 for 2007, and
$27,500,000 for 2008. There are no scheduled repayments of notes held by
Prudential for the period January 1, 2009 through April 20, 2009.
Certain of the principal negative covenants contained in the Agreement
include a requirement that:
(a) A&B's consolidated shareholders equity not be less than the
sum of $760,631,250 plus, to the extent positive, 25% of
quarterly net income earned after December 31, 2005.
(b) A&B's consolidated debt not exceed 375% of earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (commonly
referred to as EBITDA) for the previous four fiscal quarters.
(c) The value of A&B's unencumbered developed real estate portfolio
as of the last day of any two consecutive fiscal quarters not be
less than the lower of $350,000,000 or an amount equal to 50% of
the Total Investment Property Value, as such term is defined in
the Agreement, unless, as of the later of such days, the
operating income from unencumbered real estate investments for
A&B's most recent four fiscal quarters was at least $28,000,000.
(d) A&B not make loans or advances to any person, other than:
a. Loans to third parties up to an aggregate of $50,000,000, or
b. Purchase money loans in connection with the sale of real
property in the ordinary course of business so long as the
aggregate of such loans does not exceed 15% of consolidated
total assets.
Subject to the provisions noted above, the Agreement permits A&B to
mortgage new development properties and to place liens against existing and
future developed real estate. The Agreement also permits Matson to borrow funds
and secure its assets without limitation, but limits the amount of any
guarantees that Matson may make to or on behalf of A&B or to its non-Matson
business.
The Agreement also limits the amount of guarantees that A&B may make to
its unconsolidated joint ventures and affiliates, limits A&B's ability to sell
the stock of subsidiaries and other assets without using the proceeds to repay
debt or acquire replacement assets, and limits payment of dividends in the event
of a default under the Agreement.
Prepayment of amounts borrowed under the Agreement, including the
Series A, B, and C notes, may be made in whole or in part at par plus a yield
maintenance premium at the treasury rate corresponding to the average remaining
maturity, plus 50 basis points.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned, Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (the "Company") hereby
agrees with you as follows:
1. AUTHORIZATION OF ISSUE OF NOTES.
1A. Authorization of Issue of Series A, B and C Notes. The Company has
authorized the issuance of (i) its senior promissory notes (the "Series A
Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000, to be dated the date

balance thereof from the date thereof until the principal thereof shall have

substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto and the Series C Notes shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3 hereto. The terms "Series A Note,"
"Series A Notes," "Series B Note," "Series B Notes," "Series C Note" and "Series
C Notes" as used herein shall include, as applicable, each Series A Note, Series
B Note or Series C Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement
and each Series A Note, Series B Note or Series C Note, as applicable, delivered
in substitution or exchange therefore pursuant to any such provision.
1B. Authorization of Issue of Shelf Notes. The Company has authorized
the issue of its senior promissory notes (the "Shelf Notes") in the aggregate
principal amount of $400,000,000, to be dated the date of issue thereof, to
mature, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, no more than twenty years from
the date of original issuance, to have an average life, in the case of each
Shelf Note so issued, of no more than fifteen years, to bear interest on the
unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at the rate per annum, and to have
such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the case of each Shelf
Note so issued, in the Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to such Shelf
Note delivered pursuant to paragraph 2B(5), and to be substantially in the form
of Exhibit A-4 attached hereto. The terms "Shelf Note" and "Shelf Notes" as used
-----------
herein shall include each Shelf Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement and each Shelf Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such
Shelf Note pursuant to any such provision. The terms "Note" and "Notes" as used
herein shall include each Series A, B and C Note and each Shelf Note delivered
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Note delivered in
substitution or exchange for any such Note pursuant to any such provision. Notes
which have (i) the same final maturity, (ii) the same principal prepayment
dates, (iii) the same principal prepayment amounts (as a percentage of the
original principal amount of each Note), (iv) the same interest rate, (v) the
same interest payment periods and (vi) the same date of issuance (which, in the
case of a Note issued in exchange for another Note, shall be deemed for these
purposes the date on which such Note's ultimate predecessor Note was issued),
are herein called a "Series" of Notes.
2. PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES.
2A. Purchase and Sale of Series A, B and C Notes. Subject to the terms
and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Series
A, B and C Purchasers and each Series A, B and C Purchaser agrees to purchase
from the Company the aggregate principal amount of Series A, B and C Notes set
forth opposite its name on the Purchaser Schedule attached hereto at 100% of
such aggregate principal amount. On each of the Series A Closing Day, Series B
Closing Day and Series C Closing Day, the Company will deliver to each Series A,
B and C Purchaser (as applicable) at the offices of Prudential Capital Group,
Four Embarcadero Center, Suite 2700, San Francisco, CA 94111, one or more Series
A, B and C Notes (as applicable) registered in its name, evidencing the
aggregate principal amount of Series A, B and C Notes to be purchased by it and
in the denomination or denominations specified with respect to such Purchaser in
the Purchaser Schedule attached hereto, against payment of the purchase price
thereof by transfer of immediately available funds for credit to the Company's
account #01-153498 at First Hawaii Bank, Honolulu, Hawaii, ABA Routing Number
121301015.
2B. Purchase and Sale of Shelf Notes.
2B(1). Facility. Prudential is willing to consider, in its sole
discretion and within limits which may be authorized for purchase by Prudential
and Prudential Affiliates from time to time, the purchase of Shelf Notes
pursuant to this Agreement. The willingness of Prudential to consider such
purchase of Shelf Notes is herein called the "Facility". At any time, the
aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes stated in paragraph 1B, minus the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and all other notes
issued and sold under this or any other agreement by the Company or any
Subsidiary and held by Prudential or any Prudential Affiliate which are then
outstanding, minus the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Notes (as
hereinafter defined) and Series A, B and C Notes which have not yet been
purchased and sold hereunder prior to such time, is herein called the "Available
Facility Amount" at such time. NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF PRUDENTIAL TO
CONSIDER PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS
UNDERSTANDING THAT NEITHER PRUDENTIAL NOR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE SHALL BE
OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE SHELF NOTES, OR TO QUOTE RATES,
SPREADS OR OTHER TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, AND
THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY PRUDENTIAL OR ANY
PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE.
2B(2). Issuance Period. Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to
this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date of
this Agreement (or if such anniversary is not a Business Day, the Business Day
next preceding such anniversary) and (ii) the thirtieth day after Prudential
shall have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to Prudential,
a written notice stating that it elects to terminate the issuance and sale of
Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such thirtieth day is not a
Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such thirtieth day). The period
during which Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement is
herein called the "Issuance Period".
2B(3). Request for Purchase. The Company may from time to time during
the Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Shelf Notes (each such
request being herein called a "Request for Purchase"). Each Request for Purchase
shall be made to Prudential by telefacsimile or overnight delivery service, and
shall (i) specify the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes covered thereby,
which shall not be less than $5,000,000 and not be greater than the Available
Facility Amount at the time such Request for Purchase is made, (ii) specify the
principal amounts, final maturities, principal prepayment dates and amounts and
interest payment periods (quarterly or semiannual in arrears) of the Shelf Notes
covered thereby, (iii) specify the use of proceeds of such Shelf Notes, (iv)
specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Shelf
Notes, which shall be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than 5
Business Days after the making of such Request for Purchase, (v) specify the
number of the account and the name and address of the depository institution to
which the purchase price of such Shelf Notes is to be transferred on the Closing
Day for such purchase and sale, (vi) certify that the representations and
warranties contained in paragraph 8 are true on and as of the date of such
Request for Purchase and that there exists on the date of such Request for
Purchase no Event of Default or Default, and (vii) be substantially in the form
of Exhibit B attached hereto. Each Request for Purchase shall be in writing and
---------
shall be deemed made when received by Prudential.
2B(4). Rate Quotes. Not later than five Business Days after the Company
shall have given Prudential a Request for Purchase pursuant to paragraph 2B(3),
Prudential may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to the Company by
telephone or telefacsimile, in each case between 9:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. New
York City local time (or such later time as Prudential may elect) interest rate
quotes for the several principal amounts, maturities, principal prepayment
schedules, and interest payment periods of Shelf Notes specified in such Request
for Purchase. Each quote shall represent the interest rate per annum payable on
the outstanding principal balance of such Shelf Notes at which Prudential or a
Prudential Affiliate would be willing to purchase such Shelf Notes at 100% of
the principal amount thereof.
2B(5). Acceptance. Within five minutes after Prudential shall have
provided any interest rate quotes pursuant to paragraph 2B(4), or such shorter
period as Prudential may specify to the Company (such period herein called the
"Acceptance Window"), the Company may, subject to paragraph 2B(6), elect to
accept such interest rate quotes as to not less than $5,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of the Shelf Notes specified in the related Request for
Purchase. Such election shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Company
notifying Prudential by telephone or telefacsimile within the Acceptance Window
that the Company elects to accept such interest rate quotes, specifying the
financial terms referred to in clause (ii) of paragraph 2B(3) with respect to
such Shelf Notes (each such Note being herein called an "Accepted Note") as to
which such acceptance (herein called an "Acceptance") relates. The day the
Company notifies an Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes is herein
called the "Acceptance Day" for such Accepted Notes. Any interest rate quotes as
to which Prudential does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window
shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made
based on such expired interest rate quotes. Subject to paragraph 2B(6) and the
other terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to Prudential or a
Prudential Affiliate, and Prudential agrees to purchase, or to cause the
purchase by a Prudential Affiliate of, the Accepted Notes at 100% of the
principal amount of such Shelf Notes. As soon as practicable following the
Acceptance Day, the Company and each Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase
any such Accepted Notes will execute a confirmation of such Acceptance
substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (herein called a
---------
"Confirmation of Acceptance"). If the Company should fail to execute and return
to Prudential within three Business Days following receipt thereof from
Prudential of a Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes,
Prudential may at its election at any time prior to its receipt thereof cancel
the closing with respect to such Accepted Notes by so notifying the Company in
writing.
2B(6). Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph
2B(5), if Prudential shall have provided interest rate quotes pursuant to
paragraph 2B(4) and thereafter prior to the time an Acceptance with respect to
such quotes shall have been notified to Prudential in accordance with paragraph
2B(5) the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives shall have
closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation,
or significant disruption of trading in securities generally on the New York
Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or
derivatives, then such interest rate quotes shall expire, and no purchase or
sale of Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate
quotes. If the Company thereafter notifies Prudential of the Acceptance of any
such interest rate quotes, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes
of this Agreement, and Prudential shall promptly notify the Company that the
provisions of this paragraph 2B(6) are applicable with respect to such
Acceptance.
2C. Closings. Not later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City local time) on
the Series A Closing Day, the Series B Closing Day, the Series C Closing Day and
the Closing Day for any Accepted Notes, the Company will deliver to each
Purchaser listed on the Purchaser Schedule relating thereto at the offices of
Prudential Capital Group the Series A Notes, Series B Notes, Series C Notes or
Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on such Closing Day in the form
of one or more Notes in authorized denominations as such Purchaser may request,
dated the applicable Closing Day and registered in such Purchaser's name (or in
the name of its nominee), against payment of the purchase price thereof by
transfer of immediately available funds for credit to the account specified by
the Company herein or in the Request for Purchase relating to such Notes. If the
Company fails to tender to any Purchaser the Series A Notes, Series B Notes,
Series C Notes or Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the
scheduled Closing Day for such Notes as provided above, or any of the conditions
specified in paragraph 3 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on
such scheduled Closing Day, the Company shall, prior to 2:30 p.m., New York City
local time, on such scheduled Closing Day notify Prudential (which notification
shall be deemed received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such closing
is to be rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the
Issuance Period not less than one Business Day and not more than thirty days
after such scheduled Closing Day (the "Rescheduled Closing Day") and certify to
Prudential (which certification shall be for the benefit of each Purchaser) that
the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply with the
conditions set forth in paragraph 3 on such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the
Company will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee in accordance with paragraph 2D(iii)
or (ii) such closing is to be canceled. In the event that the Company shall fail
to give such notice referred to in the preceding sentence, Prudential (on behalf
of each Purchaser) may at its election, at any time after 2:30 p.m., New York
City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Company in writing
that such closing is to be canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
appearing in this Agreement, the Company may not elect to reschedule a closing
with respect to any Notes on more than one occasion, unless Prudential shall
have otherwise consented in writing.
2D. Fees.
2D(i). Structuring Fee. In consideration for the time, effort and
expense involved in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this
Agreement, at the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Company shall pay to (or as directed by) Prudential in immediately available
funds a non-refundable fee (herein called the "Structuring Fee") in the amount
of $100,000.
2D(ii). Shelf Notes Issuance Fee. The Company agrees to pay to each
Purchaser in immediately available funds a fee (herein called the "Issuance
Fee") on each Closing Day in an amount equal to 0.10% of the aggregate principal
amount of Shelf Notes sold to such Purchaser on such Closing Day.
2D(iii). Delayed Delivery Fee. If the closing of the purchase and sale
of the Series A Notes, the Series B Notes, the Series C Notes or any Accepted
Notes is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day therefor, the
Company agrees to pay to (or as directed by) Prudential on the Cancellation Date
or actual closing date of such purchase and sale, a fee (herein called the
"Delayed Delivery Fee") calculated as follows:
(BEY - MMY) X DTS/360 X PA
where "BEY" means Bond Equivalent Yield, i.e., the bond equivalent yield per
annum of such Note, "MMY" means Money Market Yield, i.e., the yield per annum on
a commercial paper investment of the highest quality selected by Prudential on
the date Prudential receives notice of the delay in the closing for such Note
having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled
Closing Day (a new alternative investment being selected by Prudential each time
such closing is delayed); "DTS" means Days to Settlement, i.e., the number of
actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day with respect to
such Note to but excluding the date of such payment; and "PA" means Principal
Amount, i.e., the principal amount of the Series A Note, the Series B Note,
Series C Note or the Accepted Note for which such calculation is being made. In
no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero. Nothing contained
herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any Series A Note, any Series B
Note, any Series C Note or any Accepted Note on any day other than the original
Closing Day for such Note, as the same may be rescheduled from time to time in
compliance with paragraph 2C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Delayed Delivery
Fee shall be payable in connection with the closing of the purchase and sale of
any Series of Notes if all of the conditions precedent set forth in paragraph 3
(other than the condition precedent in paragraph 3C) have been timely satisfied
on or prior to the original Closing Day therefor and any relevant Purchaser
fails to purchase any such Notes on such Closing Day.
2D(iv). Cancellation Fee. If the Company at any time notifies
Prudential in writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the purchase
and sale of the Series A Notes, the Series B Notes, the Series C Notes or any
Accepted Notes, or if Prudential notifies the Company in writing under the
circumstances set forth in the penultimate sentence of paragraph 2C that the
closing of the purchase and sale of the Series A Notes, the Series B Notes, the
Series C Notes or any Accepted Notes is to be canceled (or under the
circumstances set forth in the last sentence of paragraph 2B(5) that the
purchase and sale of any Accepted Notes is to be cancelled), or if the closing
of the purchase and sale of any Series of Notes is not consummated on or prior
to the last day of the Issuance Period (the date of any such notification, or
the last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being herein called the
"Cancellation Date"), the Company agrees to pay to Prudential in immediately
available funds an amount (the "Cancellation Fee") calculated as follows:
PI X PA
where "PI" means Price Increase, i.e., the quotient (expressed in decimals)
obtained by dividing (a) the excess of the ask price (as determined by
Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date over the bid
price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Notes(s) on the date
the interest rate was locked on the Series A Notes, Series B Notes or Series C
Notes or on the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Notes (as applicable) by (b)
such applicable bid price; and "PA" has the meaning ascribed to it in paragraph
2D(iii). The foregoing bid and ask prices shall be as reported by such publicly
available source of such market data as is then customarily utilized by
Prudential. Each price shall be based on a U.S. Treasury security having a par
value of $100.00 and shall be rounded to the second decimal place. In no case
shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Cancellation Fee shall be due (i) with respect to the Series A, B or C Notes if
the Company is unable to make on the applicable Closing Day the representation
in the last sentence of paragraph 8B (but all other conditions to closing set
forth in paragraph 3 have been satisfied) and the relevant Purchasers are
unwilling to purchase the applicable Notes as a result, or (ii) in connection
with any proposed purchase and sale of any Series of Notes if all of the
conditions precedent set forth in paragraph 3 (other than the condition
precedent in paragraph 3C) have been timely satisfied on or prior to the
applicable Closing Day therefor and any relevant Purchaser fails to purchase any
such Notes on such Closing Day.

covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted in this Agreement. No remedy conferred in this
Agreement upon the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
8. REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES. The Company represents,
covenants and warrants as follows:
8A. Organization. The Company and each Subsidiary with a tangible net
worth in excess of $500,000 is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the state of its organization. The Company and each
Significant Subsidiary has the full power and authority to own its properties
and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and is duly qualified in
every state where the nature of its business requires that it do so, and is in
good standing under the laws of every jurisdiction outside the state of its
incorporation in which it owns or leases property or conducts business and in
which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect upon its
business or property taken as a whole. The Company and each Significant
Subsidiary has complied in all material respects with (or is exempt from the
application of) all material federal, state and local laws, regulations and
orders that are, or in the absence of any exemption could be, applicable to the
operations of its business, including public utility, bank holding company,
state agricultural and Environmental and Safety Laws. The Company has full
power, authority and right to execute and deliver, and to perform and observe,
the provisions of this Agreement and the Notes and to carry out the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the Notes to be issued hereunder by the Company has been
authorized by all necessary corporate and other action, and, when duly executed
and delivered, will be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms.
8B. Financial Statements. The Company has furnished each Purchaser of
any Notes with the following financial statements, identified by a principal
financial officer of the Company: (i) consolidated balance sheets of the Company
and its Subsidiaries as of the last day in each of the five fiscal years of the
Company most recently completed prior to the date as of which this
representation is made or repeated (other than fiscal years completed within 120
days prior to such date for which audited financial statements have not been
released) and consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash
flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for each such year, certified by
Deloitte & Touche (or such other accounting firm as may be reasonably acceptable
to Prudential); and (ii) consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as at the end of the quarterly period (if any) most recently
completed prior to such date and after the end of such fiscal year (other than
quarterly periods completed within 60 days prior to such date for which
financial statements have not been released) and the comparable quarterly period
in the preceding fiscal year and consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the
periods from the beginning of the fiscal years in which such quarterly periods
are included to the end of such quarterly periods, in each case prepared by the
Company. Such financial statements (including any related schedules and/or
notes) are true and correct in all material respects (subject, as to interim
statements, to changes resulting from audits and year-end adjustments), have
been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently followed throughout the
periods involved and show all liabilities, direct and contingent, of the Company
and its Subsidiaries required to be shown in accordance with such principles.
The balance sheets fairly present the condition of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof, and the statements of income,
shareholders' equity and cash flows fairly present the results of the operations
and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the periods indicated.
There has been no material adverse change in the business, condition (financial
or otherwise) or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole
since (i) in the case of the Series A Closing Day, Series B Closing Day and
Series C Closing Day, December 31, 2005 and (ii) in the case of any other
Closing Day, the end of the most recent fiscal year for which such audited
financial statements had been furnished at the time of the Acceptance with
respect to the Notes to be issued on such Closing Day.
8C. Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, investigation or
proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the
Company or any Subsidiary or any properties or rights of the Company or any
Subsidiary, by or before any court, arbitrator or administrative or governmental
body which could reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse change
in the business, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Company
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
8D. Outstanding Debt. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any
Debt outstanding that would cause the Company not to be in compliance with
paragraphs 6A(2), 6A(3) or 6B(4). There exists no default under the provisions
of any instrument evidencing any such Debt or of any agreement relating thereto.
8E. Title to Properties. The Company and each Significant Subsidiary
has such title to its properties and assets as is appropriate and sufficient for
the conduct of the business which such Company or Significant Subsidiary
presently undertakes or contemplates undertaking. There are no Liens on such
properties and assets that (i) materially restrict such Company's or Significant
Subsidiary's intended use and enjoyment thereof in the ordinary course of
business or (ii) are not permitted by paragraph 6B(1). There is no material
default, nor any event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute such a material default under any material lease to which either the
Company or any such Significant Subsidiary is a lessee, lessor, sublessee or
sublessor.
8F. Taxes. The Company and each Subsidiary with a tangible net worth in
excess of $500,000 has filed all Federal, state and other income tax and
informational returns which are required to be filed by it. The Company and each
such Subsidiary has paid all taxes as shown on its returns and on all
assessments received to the extent that such taxes have become due, except such
assessments as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for
which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. The
Company and Subsidiaries do not have any unpaid tax obligations which
collectively could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
condition of the Company and Subsidiaries.
8G. Conflicting Agreements and Other Matters. Neither the execution nor
delivery of this Agreement or the Notes, nor the offering, issuance and sale of
the Notes, nor fulfillment of nor compliance with the terms and provisions of
this Agreement or the Notes will conflict with, or result in a breach of the
terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in
any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the
properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to, their
respective articles or incorporation or bylaws (or other comparable governing
documents, as applicable), any award of any arbitrator or any agreement,
instrument, order, judgment, decree, and, after due investigation and to the
Company's best knowledge, any statute, law, rule or regulation to which the
Company or any Subsidiary is subject. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is
a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument
evidencing any of their respective Debt, any agreement relating thereto or any
other contract or agreement which restricts or otherwise limits the incurring of
Debt pursuant hereto, except as set forth on Schedule 8G hereto (as such
Schedule 8G may be supplemented from time to time on or before any Closing
Date).
8H. Offering of the Notes. Neither the Company nor any agent acting on
its behalf has, directly or indirectly, offered the Notes or any similar
security of the Company for sale to, or solicited any offers to buy the Notes or
any similar security of the Company from, or otherwise approached or negotiated
with respect thereto with, any Person or Persons other than Prudential and the
Purchasers, and neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken
or will take any action which would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to
the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act or to the provisions of any
securities or blue sky law of any applicable jurisdiction.
8I. Regulation U, etc. The amount of all securities that the Company
and its Subsidiaries together own that constitute "margin stock" (as defined in
Regulation G (12 CFR Part 221) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (herein called "margin stock")) does not exceed 25% of Consolidated Total
Assets. None of the proceeds of the Notes will be used, directly or indirectly,
for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of purchasing or
carrying any margin stock or for the purpose of maintaining, reducing or
retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any
stock that is currently a margin stock or for any other purpose which might
constitute this transaction a "purpose credit" within the meaning of such
Regulation U. Neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken
or will take any action which might cause this Agreement or the Notes to violate
Regulation U, Regulation T or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in
effect now or as the same may hereafter be in effect. The proceeds of the Series
A, B and C Notes will be used to fund the Company's real estate business (or to
refinance indebtedness incurred for such purpose) and for general business
purposes.
8J. ERISA. No accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in section 302
of ERISA and section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists with
respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan). No liability to the PBGC
has been or is expected by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate to be incurred
with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) by the Company, any
Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate which is or would be materially adverse to the
business, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Company and
its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries
or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or presently expects to incur any withdrawal
liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Multiemployer Plan which
is or would be materially adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of
the Notes will be exempt from, or will not involve any transaction which is
subject to the prohibitions of, section 406 of ERISA and will not involve any
transaction in connection with which a penalty could be imposed under section
502(i) of ERISA or a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975 of the Code.
The representation by the Company in the next preceding sentence is made in
reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of each Purchaser's representation in
paragraph 9B.
8K. Governmental Consent. Neither the nature of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective businesses or properties, nor any
relationship between the Company or a Subsidiary and any other Person, nor any
circumstance in connection with the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the
Notes is such as to require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or
other action by, notice to or filing with any court, administrative or
governmental body (other than routine filings after the date of closing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and/or state blue sky authorities) in
connection with (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (ii) the
offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes or (iii) fulfillment of or
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Notes.
8L. Utility Company Status. (i) Neither the Company nor any entity
which is directly or indirectly owned, held, or controlled to the degree of ten
percent or more (with the power to vote) by the Company is any of: (a) a "public
utility," as that term is defined under the Federal Power Act, as amended, and
the regulations thereunder (together, the "FPA"); or (b) a "natural gas
company," as that term is defined under the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and the
regulations thereunder; or (c) subject to regulation either as a "public
utility," or as an "affiliated interest" with or of a "public utility," under
the law of the state of Hawaii.
(ii) The issuance by the Company of the Notes does not violate the FPA
or any Hawaii state law or regulation with respect to "public utilities." The
Company (taken together with any entity which is directly or indirectly owned,
held, or controlled to the degree of ten percent or more (with the power to
vote)) is not in violation of the FPA or any Hawaii state law or regulation with
respect to "public utilities," except any violations which, individually or in
aggregate, would not result in a material adverse effect on the business,
condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Company and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or would not impair the ability or right of the
Company to perform its obligations with respect to the Notes. The Company and
its Subsidiaries are not in receipt of any notice, assertion or claim that any
of them (or any other entity referenced in the immediately preceding sentence)
is in violation of the FPA or any Hawaii state or regulation with respect to
"public utilities."
8M. Investment Company Status. The Company is not an "investment
company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or an "investment adviser"
within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.
8N. Bank Holding Company Status. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
is a "bank holding company" within the meaning of the Federal Deposit Insurance

8O. Real Property Matters. The Company and each Significant Subsidiary
has, or is in the process of procuring, for the real property which it owns or
uses, such authorizations, consents, approvals, licenses and permissions
(collectively, "Consents") that the Company or such Significant Subsidiary
believes or has been advised by counsel to be now necessary for it to own, hold,
develop, use or operate such real property in its current or intended manner,
all in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Neither the
Company nor any Significant Subsidiary has received any notice that any such
Consent is necessary which has not been obtained, or is in the process of being
obtained, other than applications for the same that have been or will be timely
filed and are being or will be diligently pursued with the appropriate
governmental authorities and agencies.
8P. Possession of Franchises, Licenses, etc. The Company and its
Subsidiaries possess all material franchises, certificates, licenses,
development and other permits and other authorizations from governmental
political subdivisions or regulatory authorities and all patents, trademarks,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, easements, rights of way and
other rights (collectively, "Material Rights"), free from burdensome
restriction, that are necessary in the judgment of the Company in any material
respect for the ownership, maintenance and operation of their business,
properties and assets, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
violation of any Material Rights in any material respect. No event has occurred
which permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would permit, the
revocation or termination of any such Material Rights, or materially and
adversely affect the rights of the Company or its Subsidiaries thereunder.
8Q. Environmental and Safety Matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries
and all of their respective properties and facilities have complied at all times

Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
8R. Hostile Tender Offers. None of the proceeds of the sale of any
Notes will be used to finance a Hostile Tender Offer.

subject of (i) any material strike, work slowdown or stoppage, union organizing
drive or other similar activity or (ii) any material action, suit, investigation
or other proceeding involving alleged employment discrimination, unfair
termination, employee safety or similar matters or, to the best knowledge of the
Company, is any such event imminent or likely to occur.
8T. Regulations and Legislation. To the best knowledge of the Company,
no law, regulation, interpretation or legislation has been enacted or issued or
is likely to be enacted or issued, that would reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the operations or financial condition of the Company
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
8U. Foreign Assets Control Regulations, etc. The use of the proceeds
from the sale of the Notes will not violate (a) the Trading with the Enemy Act,

the terms of this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds for

the purchaser schedule attached hereto or to the applicable Confirmation of
Acceptance with respect to such Note or such other account or accounts in the
United States as such Purchaser may from time to time designate in writing,
notwithstanding any contrary provision herein or in any Note with respect to the
place of payment. Each Purchaser agrees that, before disposing of any Note, it
will make a notation thereon (or on a schedule attached thereto) of all
principal payments previously made thereon and of the date to which interest
thereon has been paid. The Company agrees to afford the benefits of this
paragraph 11A to any Transferee which shall have made the same agreement as the
Purchasers have made in this paragraph 11A.
11B. Expenses. The Company agrees, whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be consummated, to pay, and save Prudential, each
Purchaser and any Transferee harmless against liability for the payment of, all
out-of-pocket expenses arising in connection with such transactions, including
(i) all document production and duplication charges and the fees and expenses of
any special counsel engaged by the Purchasers or any Transferee in connection
with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and any subsequent
proposed modification of, or proposed consent under, this Agreement, whether or
not such proposed modification shall be effected or proposed consent granted,
and (ii) the reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred
by any Purchaser or any Transferee in enforcing 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
transactions contemplated hereby or by reason of any Purchaser's or any
Transferee's having acquired any Note, including without limitation costs and
expenses incurred in any bankruptcy case of the Company or any Subsidiary. The
obligations of the Company under this paragraph 11B shall survive the transfer
of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein by any Purchaser or any
Transferee and the payment of any Note.
11C. Consent to Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, and the
Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein
required to be performed by it, if the Company shall obtain the written consent
to such amendment, action or omission to act, of the Required Holder(s) of the
Notes of each Series except that, (i) with the written consent of the holders of
all Notes of a particular Series, and if an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, of the holders of all Notes of all Series, at the time
outstanding (and not without such written consents), the Notes of such Series
may be amended or the provisions thereof waived to change the maturity thereof,
to change or affect the principal thereof, or to change or affect the rate or
time of payment of interest on or any Yield-Maintenance Amount payable with
respect to the Notes of such Series, (ii) without the written consent of the
holder or holders of all Notes at the time outstanding, no amendment to or
waiver of the provisions of this Agreement shall change or affect the provisions
of paragraph 7A or this paragraph 11C insofar as such provisions relate to
proportions of the principal amount of the Notes of any Series, or the rights of
any individual holder of Notes, required with respect to any declaration of
Notes to be due and payable or with respect to any consent, amendment, waiver or
declaration, (iii) with the written consent of Prudential (and not without the
written consent of Prudential) the provisions of paragraph 2B may be amended or
waived (except insofar as any such amendment or waiver would affect any rights
or obligations with respect to the purchase and sale of Notes which shall have
become Accepted Notes prior to such amendment or waiver), and (iv) with the
written consent of all of the Purchasers which shall have become obligated to
purchase Notes of any Series (and not without the written consent of all such
Purchasers), any of the provisions of paragraphs 2B and 3 may be amended or
waived insofar as such amendment or waiver would affect only rights or
obligations with respect to the purchase and sale of the Notes of such Series or
the terms and provisions of such Notes. Each holder of any Note at the time or
thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any consent authorized by this
paragraph 11C, whether or not such Note shall have been marked to indicate such
consent, but any Notes issued thereafter may bear a notation referring to any
such consent. No course of dealing between the Company and Prudential or the
holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any
Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of Prudential or any holder of such
Note. As used herein and in the Notes, the term "this Agreement" and references
thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or
supplemented.
11D. Form, Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Notes; Transfer
Restriction. The Notes are issuable as registered notes without coupons in
denominations of at least $2,500,000, except as may be necessary to reflect any
principal amount not evenly divisible by $2,500,000. The Company shall keep at
its principal office a register in which the Company shall provide for the
registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. Upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Note at the principal office of the Company, the Company
shall, at its expense, execute and deliver one or more new Notes of the same
tenor and of the same aggregate principal amount, registered in the name of such
transferee or transferees. At the option of the holder of any Note, such Note
may be exchanged for other Notes of the same tenor and of any authorized
denominations, of the same aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the
Note to be exchanged at the principal office of the Company. Whenever any Notes
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and
deliver the Notes which the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
Each prepayment of principal payable on each prepayment date upon each new Note
issued upon any such transfer or exchange shall be in the same proportion to the
unpaid principal amount of such new Note as the prepayment of principal payable
on such date on the Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
bore to the unpaid principal amount of such Note. No reference need be made in
any such new Note to any prepayment or prepayments of principal previously due
and paid upon the Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed,
by the holder of such Note or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing.
Any Note or Notes issued in exchange for any Note or upon transfer thereof shall
carry the rights to unpaid interest and interest to accrue which were carried by
the Note so exchanged or transferred, so that neither gain nor loss of interest
shall result from any such transfer or exchange. Upon receipt of written notice
from the holder of any Note of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
such Note and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt
of such holder's unsecured indemnity agreement, or in the case of any such
mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Company will make
and deliver a new Note, of the same tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
each Purchaser agrees, and each subsequent holder of a Note or purchaser of a
participation in a Note by its acceptance of an interest in a Note agrees, that
no Note shall be transferred to any Person which is not an Institutional
Investor without the prior consent of the Company, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.
11E. Persons Deemed Owners; Participations. Prior to due presentment
for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the Person in whose name any
Note is registered as the owner and holder of such Note for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Note
and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note shall be
overdue, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
Subject to the preceding sentence, the holder of any Note may from time to time
grant participations in all or any part of such Note to any Institutional
Investor on such terms and conditions as may be determined by such holder in its
sole and absolute discretion.
11F. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Entire Agreement. All
representations and warranties contained herein or made in writing by or on
behalf of the Company in connection herewith shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the transfer of any Note or portion
thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon
by any Transferee, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on
behalf of any Purchaser or Transferee. Subject to the preceding sentence, this
Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement and understanding between
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all
prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.
11G. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements in this
Agreement contained by or on behalf of either of the parties hereto shall bind
and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties
hereto (including, without limitation, any Transferee) whether so expressed or
not.
11H. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is prohibited by
any one of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception
to, or otherwise be in compliance within the limitations of, another covenant
shall not (i) avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if such
action is taken or such condition exists or (ii) in any way prejudice an attempt
by the holder of any Note to prohibit, through equitable action or otherwise the
taking of any action by the Company or any Subsidiary which would result in a
Default or Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, if a particular action
or condition is expressly permitted by an exception to a covenant and is not
expressly prohibited by another provision in the same covenant, the taking of
such action or the existence of such condition shall not result in a Default or
Event of Default under such covenant.
11I. Notices. All written communications provided for hereunder (other
than communications provided for under paragraph 2B) shall be sent by first
class mail or nationwide overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid) and
(i) if to Prudential, at the address set forth on the first page of this letter
or at such other address as Prudential shall have specified to the Company in
writing, (ii) if to any Purchaser, addressed as specified for such
communications in the purchaser schedule attached hereto or to the applicable
Confirmation of Acceptance or at such other address as any such Purchaser shall
have specified to the Company in writing, (iii) if to any other holder of any
Note, addressed to it at such address as it shall have specified in writing to
the Company or, if any such holder shall not have so specified an address, then
addressed to such holder in care of the last holder of such Note which shall
have so specified an address to the Company and (iv) if to the Company,
addressed to it at 822 Bishop Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, Attention: Chief
Financial Officer (with a copy to Chief Legal Officer) or at such other address
as the Company shall have specified to each holder of a Note in writing. Any
communication pursuant to paragraph 2B shall be made by the method specified for
such communication in paragraph 2B, and shall be effective to create any rights
or obligations under this Agreement only if, in the case of a telephone
communication, an Authorized Officer of the party conveying the information and
of the party receiving the information are parties to the telephone call, and in
the case of a telefacsimile communication, the communication is signed by an
Authorized Officer of the party conveying the information, addressed to the
attention of an Authorized Officer of the party receiving the information, and
in fact received at the telefacsimile terminal the number of which is listed for
the party receiving the communication in the Information Schedule or at such
other telefacsimile terminal as the party receiving the information shall have
specified in writing to the party sending such information.
11J. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several
paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not
constitute a part of this Agreement.
11K. Satisfaction Requirement. If any agreement, certificate or other
writing, or any action taken or to be taken, is, by the terms of this Agreement,
required to be satisfactory to Prudential, any Purchaser or the Required
Holder(s), the determination of such satisfaction shall be made by Prudential,
such Purchaser or the Required Holder(s), as the case may be, in the sole and
exclusive judgment (exercised in good faith) of the Person(s) making such
determination.
11L. 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 California.
11M. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or
the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or
interest, or Yield-Maintenance Amount payable with respect to, any Note that is
due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, without interest for the period of extension.
11N. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which 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 not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
11O. Severalty of Obligations. The sales of Notes to the Purchasers are
to be several sales, and the obligations of Prudential and the Purchasers under
this Agreement are several obligations. No failure by Prudential or any
Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall relieve any
other Purchaser or the Company of any of its obligations hereunder, and neither
Prudential nor any Purchaser shall be responsible for the obligations of, or any
action taken or omitted by, any other such Person hereunder.
11P. 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.
11Q. Binding Agreement. When this Agreement is executed and delivered
by the Company, Prudential and the Series A, B and C Purchasers, it shall become
a binding agreement among the Company, Prudential and the Series A, B and C
Purchasers. This Agreement shall also inure to the benefit of each Purchaser
which shall have executed and delivered a Confirmation of Acceptance, and each
such Purchaser shall be bound by this Agreement to the extent provided in such
Confirmation of Acceptance.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
As the Chief Legal Officer of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc., a Hawaii
corporation (the "Company"), I am familiar with the Note Purchase and Private
Shelf Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2006, between the Company, on the one
hand, and Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and each Prudential Affiliate
which is named as or may become party thereto, on the other hand (the

Series ___ Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $________ (the

shall have, unless otherwise defined herein, the respective meanings specified
in the Agreement. This letter is being delivered to you in satisfaction of the
condition set forth in clause (v) of paragraph 3A of the Agreement and with the
understanding that you are purchasing the Notes in reliance on the opinions
expressed herein.
In this connection, I have examined such certificates of public
officials, certificates of officers of the Company and copies certified to my
satisfaction of documents and records of the Company, and have made such other
investigations, as I have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for my
opinion hereinafter set forth. I have relied upon such certificates of public
officials and of officers of the Company with respect to the accuracy of
material factual matters contained therein which I have not independently
established. With respect to the opinion expressed in paragraph 6 below, I have
also relied upon the representation made by each Purchaser in paragraph 9 of the
Agreement.
Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in
good standing under the laws of the State of Hawaii, with the corporate power,
authority and legal right to conduct its business as presently conducted.
2. The Company has the full corporate power, authority and legal right
to execute and deliver the Agreement and the Notes and to perform and observe
its obligations thereunder.
3. The Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized by all
requisite corporate action on the part of the Company and have been duly
executed and delivered by authorized officers of the Company and constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the
Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may
be (A) limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (B)
subject to the application of general principles of equity.
4. The execution and delivery of the Agreement and the Notes by the
Company do not, and the performance and observance of the terms thereof will
not, breach, conflict with or contravene any provisions in the articles of
incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any provision of any material law or
regulation applicable to the Company or its properties or other assets.
5. The execution and delivery of the Agreement and the Notes do not,
and the performance and observance of the terms thereof will not, (A) conflict
with, (B) result in any breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (C)
constitute a default under or violation of, or (D) result in or permit the
creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or other assets of
the Company pursuant to, any material order, judgment, decree, indenture,
mortgage or any other material agreement or instrument known to me after due
inquiry.
6. The issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes to you is an exempt
transaction under the Securities Act, and does not require the registration of
the Notes under the Securities Act, nor is qualification of an indenture in
respect of the Notes required under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
7. The Company is not (A) an "investment company" within the meaning of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended or (B) a "public utility" within
the meaning of the Federal Power Act, as amended.
8. The Company is eligible for waiver of or exemption from the
accounting, record retention, reporting and cost allocation requirements of the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 and the regulations of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission related to accounting, record retention, reporting
and cost allocation requirements promulgated thereunder.
9. The extension, arranging and obtaining of the credit represented by
the Notes does not result in any violation of Regulation U or X of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
This opinion speaks only as of its date. I render no opinion as to
matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Hawaii,
the Federal laws of the United States of America and judicial interpretations
thereof. I assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion letter
should the present laws of the State of Hawaii or Federal laws be changed by
legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise. I have assumed, for the
purposes of this opinion, that Hawaii law would be the same in all material
respects as California law, the governing law selected in the Agreement, and I
am not aware of any differences between California and Hawaii law that would
materially affect the opinions contained herein.
This opinion is rendered solely for your benefit, and may not be relied
upon by any other Person without my prior written consent, except that you may
provide this opinion to regulatory authorities (including, without limitation,
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) for review should they so
request or in connection with their normal examinations or to a prospective
Transferee for review but such Person may not rely upon this opinion without my
prior written consent.
Very truly yours,
