As of December 21, 2016

The Purchasers named in the Purchaser Schedules hereto

c/o Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
One MetLife Way
Whippany, New Jersey 07981

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, Matson, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (the “Company”), hereby agrees with you as set forth below.

1A.AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES.

The Company has authorized the issue and sale of its 3.37% series A senior guaranteed promissory notes due December 21, 2027 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Notes”, such term to include any such notes issued in substitution or exchange therefor pursuant to paragraph 11D of this Agreement) in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000, to be dated the date of issue thereof, and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in paragraph 10; references to a “paragraph” are, unless otherwise specified, to one of the paragraphs of this Agreement, and references to an “Exhibit” or “Schedule” are, unless otherwise specified, to one of the exhibits or schedules to this Agreement.

1B.INTEREST ENHANCEMENT PAYMENTS.

In addition to interest (including, if applicable, the default rate) accruing on each Note, the Company agrees to pay from time to time to the holder of such Note a fee (any payment from time to time of such fee being referred to as an “Interest Enhancement Payment”) with respect to each fiscal quarter. Payment of each Interest Enhancement Payment shall be made in the manner specified in this Agreement for interest payments upon such Note. Each Interest Enhancement Payment shall be a dollar amount equal to (a) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Applicable Number (as defined below) for such fiscal quarter times (ii) the Weighted Dollar Average (as defined below) of the principal balance of such Note during the fiscal quarter to which the Interest Enhancement Payment relates and (b) dividing the product thus obtained by four. The Interest Enhancement Payment for each applicable fiscal quarter shall be payable in arrears (and shall be fully earned and non-refundable) upon the earlier of (I) fifteen days after the date upon which the financial statements (and the Officer’s Certificate required to accompany such financial statements, which Officer’s Certificate shall, in addition to the other matters certified therein, set forth a computation of the Interest Enhancement Payment for each Note for the applicable fiscal quarter) for such fiscal quarter are required to be delivered under paragraph 5A(i) (or paragraph 5A(ii) if the applicable fiscal quarter is the last fiscal quarter in a fiscal year) and (II) the actual delivery date of such financial statements and such Officer’s Certificate for such fiscal quarter. If the Company fails to deliver financial statements (or the accompanying Officer’s Certificate)

​

​

​

under paragraphs 5A(i) or (ii) for any fiscal quarter or fiscal year by the fifteenth day after the date such delivery is due, then the Company shall be deemed to owe the Interest Enhancement Payment for the applicable fiscal quarter (based on the Applicable Number, as determined in the next succeeding paragraph) assuming that the Consolidated Leverage Ratio was greater than 3.25 to 1.00 at the end of such fiscal quarter or fiscal year, and shall make the payment required for such fiscal quarter on the date due pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

As used in this paragraph 1B: (a) the “Applicable Number” shall mean (i) .0025 if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio was greater than 3.25 to 1.00 at the end of such fiscal quarter, or (ii) zero if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio was equal to or less than 3.25 to 1.00 at the end of such fiscal quarter; and (b) the “Weighted Dollar Average” shall mean, for any Note with respect to any fiscal quarter, (i) the sum of the principal amounts outstanding of such Note at the end of each calendar day during such fiscal quarter, divided by (ii) the number of calendar days during such fiscal quarter.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding portions of this paragraph 1B: (i) concurrent with the time when the remaining outstanding principal amount of such Note has become due and payable (whether at the scheduled final maturity thereof, upon any acceleration of the maturity thereof or otherwise) the Interest Enhancement Payment shall be payable in arrears (and shall be fully earned and non-refundable) for (a) the full fiscal quarter immediately preceding such time (but only if the Interest Enhancement Payment has not otherwise become payable at such time pursuant to the first paragraph of this paragraph 1B) based on the most recent Applicable Number available at such time, and (b) the portion of the current fiscal quarter through such time based on the most recent Applicable Number available at such time, and ratably adjusted for the portion of such fiscal quarter that has elapsed at such time; (ii) if any such Officer’s Certificate erroneously indicates (as reasonably determined by the Required Holders) an Applicable Number more favorable to the Company (due to an incorrect calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio) than should be afforded by the actual calculation of such Consolidated Leverage Ratio, then the Company shall promptly pay such additional Interest Enhancement Payment as is required to correct such error; and (iii) the acceptance of any Interest Enhancement Payment by any holder of a Note shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, including any breach of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio.

2.PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES.

The Company hereby agrees to sell to each Purchaser and, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedules attached hereto at 100% of such aggregate principal amount. At a closing on December 21, 2016 (the “Closing Day”) the Company will deliver to each Purchaser, at the offices of Vedder Price P.C. at 275 Battery Street, Suite 2464, San Francisco, CA 94111, one or more Notes, registered in such Purchaser’s name (or, if specified in the Purchaser Schedule, in the name of the nominee for such Purchaser specified in the Purchaser Schedule), evidencing the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser and in the denomination or denominations specified with respect to such Purchaser in the Purchaser Schedule against payment of the purchase price thereof by transfer of immediately available funds, for credit to such account or accounts as shall

​

3C.Purchase Permitted by Applicable Laws. The purchase of and payment for the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser on the terms and conditions herein provided (including the use of the proceeds of the Notes by the Company) shall not violate any applicable law or governmental regulation (including, without limitation, Section 5 of the Securities Act or Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and shall not subject such Purchaser to any tax, penalty, liability or other onerous condition under or pursuant to any applicable law or governmental regulation, and such Purchaser shall have received such certificates or other evidence as it may request to establish compliance with this condition.

​

4

​

other provision of this paragraph 4 shall not reduce or otherwise affect its obligation to make any required prepayment as specified in paragraph 4A.

4A.Required Prepayments of Notes. Until the Notes shall be paid in full, the Company shall apply to the prepayment thereof, without premium, the sum of $5,769,230.77 on December 21, 2021 and on each June 21 and December 21 thereafter through and including June 21, 2027, inclusive, and such principal amounts of the Notes, together with interest thereon to the prepayment dates, shall become due on such prepayment dates. The remaining outstanding principal amount of the Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become due on December 21, 2027, the maturity date of the Notes.

4B.Optional Prepayment with Yield-Maintenance Amount. The Notes shall be subject to prepayment, in whole at any time or from time to time in part (in integral multiples of $100,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000), at the option of the Company, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid plus interest thereon to the prepayment date and the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, with respect to each such Note. Any partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to this paragraph 4B shall be applied in satisfaction of required payments of principal in inverse order of their scheduled due dates.

4C.Notice of Optional Prepayment. The Company shall give the holder of each Note to be prepaid pursuant to paragraph 4B irrevocable written notice of such prepayment not less than five Business Days prior to the prepayment date, specifying such prepayment date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of the Notes held by such holder to be prepaid on that date and that such prepayment is to be made pursuant to paragraph 4B. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Notes specified in such notice, together with interest thereon to the prepayment date and together with the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, herein provided, shall become due and payable on such prepayment date. The Company shall, on or before the day on which it gives written notice of any prepayment pursuant to paragraph 4B, give telephonic notice of the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid and the prepayment date to each Significant Holder which shall have designated a recipient for such notices in the Purchaser Schedule attached hereto or by notice in writing to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice of prepayment of the Notes in whole given by the Company may state that such prepayment notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or capital raising, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the holders on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

4D.Application of Prepayments. In the case of each prepayment of less than the entire unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Notes pursuant to paragraph 4A or 4B, the amount to be prepaid shall be applied pro rata to all outstanding Notes (including, in the case of prepayments pursuant to paragraph 4A for the purpose of this paragraph 4D only, all Notes prepaid or otherwise retired or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Affiliates other than by prepayment pursuant to paragraph 4A or 4B) according to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof.

4E.Retirement of Notes. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or any other Affiliates to, prepay or otherwise retire in whole or in part prior to their

​

5

​

stated final maturity (other than by prepayment pursuant to paragraphs 4A or 4B, or upon acceleration of such final maturity pursuant to paragraph 7A), or purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, Notes held by any holder unless the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have offered to prepay or otherwise retire or purchase or otherwise acquire, as the case may be, the same proportion of the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each other holder of Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any Notes so prepaid or otherwise retired or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose under this Agreement, except as provided in paragraph 4D.

5.AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. On and after the Closing Day so long as any Note or amount due hereunder or under any other Transaction Document (other than any contingent indemnification obligation) is outstanding or unpaid, the Company covenants as follows:

11C.Consent to Amendments.

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 like tenor and of a like aggregate principal amount, registered in the name of such transferee or transferees.

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.

11F.Survival of Representations and Warranties; Entire Agreement. All representations and warranties contained herein, in any other Transaction Document or made in writing by or on behalf of the Company or any other Credit Party in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents, 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 any Transferee.

​

44

​

include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.
