The certificates representing shares of such stock shall be numbered in the order in which they shall be issued and shall be signed in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board or the President or a Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Corporate Secretary or an Assistant Corporate Secretary of the Corporation. Any of or all of the signatures on the certificates may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon, any such certificate, shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as though the person who signed such certificate, or whose facsimile signature shall have been placed thereupon, were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. A record shall be kept of the respective names of the persons, firms or corporations owning the stock represented by such certificates, the number and

10


class of shares represented by such certificates, respectively, and the respective dates thereof, and in case of cancellation, the respective dates of cancellation. Every certificate surrendered to the Corporation for exchange or transfer shall be canceled, and no new certificate or certificates shall be issued in exchange for any existing certificate until such existing certificate shall have been so canceled, except in cases provided for in Section 6.04.

        Section 6.02    Transfers.    Transfers of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be made only on the books of the Corporation by the registered holder thereof, or by his or her attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Corporate Secretary, or with a transfer clerk or a transfer agent appointed as provided in Section 6.03, and upon surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes thereon. The person in whose name shares of stock stand on the books of the Corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes as regards the Corporation. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of its capital stock as the holder in fact thereof for any purpose whatsoever and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other claimant thereto. Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, such fact shall be so expressed in the entry of transfer if, when the certificate or certificates shall be presented to the Corporation for transfer, both the transferor and the transferee request the Corporation to do so. Each transfer shall be recorded and the original record or duplicate thereof shall be kept at the principal office of the Corporation in Honolulu, Hawaii as set forth above.

        Section 6.03    Regulations.    The Board may make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient, not consistent with these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation or applicable law concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of the stock of the Corporation. It may appoint, or authorize any officer or officers to appoint, one or more transfer clerks or one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars, and may require all certificates for stock to bear the signature or signatures of any of them.

        Section 6.04    Lost Stolen, Destroyed and Mutilated Certificates.    In any case of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate of stock, another may be issued in its place upon proof of such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation and upon the giving of a bond of indemnity to the Corporation in such form and in such sum as the Board may direct, provided, however, that a new certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the Board, it is proper so to do.

        Section 6.05    Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record.    The books for the transfer of shares of the capital stock of the Corporation or any class thereof may be closed as the Board may from time to time determine for a period not exceeding seventy (70) days before any meeting of stockholders, or before the day appointed for the payment of any dividend, or before any date on which rights of any kind in or in connection with the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation or of any class thereof are to be determined or exercised; provided, however, that in lieu of closing the books for the transfer of shares of the capital stock of the Corporation or of any class thereof the Board may fix in advance a date not exceeding seventy (70) days before any such meeting, any such payment date or any such date for the determination or exercise of rights, as a record date for the determination of the stockholders of the Corporation or of such class thereof entitled to notice of and to vote at any such meeting, or entitled to receive any such dividend, or entitled to receive or exercise any such rights in the event that the books for the transfer of shares of the capital stock of the Corporation or of any class thereof are to be closed, the Corporate Secretary may be directed by the Boar to give notice of such closing to the holders of such shares.

        Section 6.06.    Foreign Stock Record. A transfer of shares of voting stock of the Corporation to a Foreigner shall not be valid, except between the parties to the transfer, until the transfer shall have been (i) recorded on the books of the Corporation as provided in Section 6.02. of Article VI of these

11



Bylaws and (ii) recorded on the Foreign Stock Record of the Corporation as provided in this Section 6.06. The Foreign Stock Record shall mean a record maintained by the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation which shall record the date of a transfer to a Foreigner, the parties to the transfer and the number and description of the shares of voting stock transferred to a Foreigner. At no time shall ownership or control of shares representing more than 25% of the Corporation's voting shares be registered on the Foreign Stock Record. If at any time the Corporation shall determine that voting shares are owned or controlled by Foreigners who are not registered on the Foreign Stock Record, the registration of such shares shall, subject to the limitation in the preceding sentence, be made in chronological order in the Foreign Stock Record, based on the date of the Corporation's finding of ownership or control of such shares by a Foreigner. If at any time the Corporation shall determine that the number of voting shares registered on the Foreign Stock Record exceeds 25% of the total number of voting shares, sufficient shares shall be removed from the Foreign Stock Record in reverse chronological order so that the number of voting shares registered on the Foreign Stock Record does not exceed 25% of the total number of voting shares. At no time shall shares of voting stock known by the Corporation to be owned or controlled by Foreigners and not registered on the Foreign Stock Record be entitled to vote until so registered. All shares of voting stock known to the Corporation to be owned by Foreigners as of the date of the adoption of this Section 6.06 shall be registered on the Foreign Stock Record. The shares registered on the Foreign Stock Record pursuant to the preceding sentence have chronological priority over any subsequent request for the registration of additional shares of voting stock on the Foreign Stock Record. As used in this Section 6.06, "Foreigner" means any person who is not a Citizen of the United States as defined in Section 101(15) of the Transportation Act, and "voting stock" means collectively the Corporation's Common Stock and any future shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on matters generally referred to the stockholders for a vote.
