Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The indemnity provisions of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation require the Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. Section 414-242 of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act (the “HBCA”) provides that a corporation may indemnify a director, who is a party to a proceeding in his/her capacity as a director of the corporation, against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (1)(A) the individual conducted himself or herself in good faith and (B) the individual reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in the individual’s official capacity, that the individual’s conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, and (ii) in all other cases, that the individual’s conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (C) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the individual’s conduct was unlawful, or (2) the individual engaged in conduct for which broader indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory under a provision of the articles of incorporation. To the extent that a director is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party in his/her capacity as director of the corporation, the corporation is required by Section 414-243 of the HBCA to indemnify such director for reasonable expenses incurred thereby.
 
Under Section 414-244 of the HBCA, a corporation, before final disposition of a proceeding, may advance funds to pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director, who is a party to a proceeding in his/her capacity as a director of the corporation, if the director delivers certain written affirmations and certain undertakings. Under certain circumstances, under Section 414-245 of the HBCA a director may apply for and obtain indemnification or an advance for expenses to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction.
 
Furthermore, under Section 414-246 of the HBCA, indemnification may be made only as authorized in a specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because a director has met the applicable standard, with such determination to be made: (i) if there are two or more disinterested directors, by the board of directors by a majority vote of the disinterested directors (a majority of whom for this purpose shall constitute a quorum), or by a majority of the members of a committee of two or more disinterested directors appointed by such a vote; (ii) by special legal counsel; or (iii) by a majority vote of the shareholders.
 
Under Section 414-247 of the HBCA, a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, who is a party to a proceeding because the officer is an officer of the corporation, to the same extent such indemnification may be provided to a director, and if the person is an officer, but not a director, to such extent as may be provided by the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, a resolution of the board of directors, or contract except for liability in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation other than for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding, or liability arising out of conduct that constitutes (i) receipt by the officer of a financial benefit to which the officer is not entitled, (ii) an intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or the shareholders; or (iii) an intentional violation of criminal law.
 
The above-described provision applies to an officer who is also a director if the basis on which the officer is made a party to the proceeding is an act or omission solely as an officer. Furthermore, an officer of a corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 414-243 of the HBCA and may apply to a court under Section 414-245 of the HBCA for indemnification or an advance for expenses, in each case to the same extent to which a director may be entitled to indemnification or advance for expenses under those provisions.
 
The Registrant maintains policies that insure its directors and officers and those of its subsidiaries against certain liabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.
A list of exhibits filed herewith or incorporated by reference is contained in the Exhibit Index immediately following the signature pages and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
    (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
    (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and
    (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under “Item 6—Indemnification of Directors and Officers”, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
