     The following documents filed by Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. ("HEI"
or the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") are incorporated
herein by reference:  (1) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year

contains audited financial statements for the Plan for the Plan's year ended

Document") shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement in this Registration
Statement or any subsequently filed Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes
such statement.  Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be
deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute part of this
Registration Statement.

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

     Richard T. Ishida, a partner of the law firm of Goodsill Anderson Quinn &
Stifel, counsel for the Company, is a director of Hawaii Electric Light Company,
Inc., an indirect subsidiary of the Company.   Goodsill Anderson Quinn & Stifel
has rendered an opinion (filed as an Exhibit to this Registration Statement) as
to the legality of the securities being registered.

ITEM 6 .  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Restated Articles of Incorporation of HEI provide that HEI will indemnify
any person against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to which such
person is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of being or
having been a director, officer, employee or agent of HEI, provided that such
person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of HEI, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful.  With respect to an action brought by or in the right of HEI in
which such person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in
performance of that person's duty to HEI, indemnification may be made only to
the extent deemed fair and reasonable in view of all the circumstances of the
case by the court in which the action was brought or any other having
jurisdiction.  The indemnification provisions in the Restated Articles of

                                      II-1
<PAGE>
 
Incorporation were authorized at the time of their adoption by the applicable
provisions of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, and substantially similar authorizing
provisions are currently set forth in Section 415-5 of the Hawaii Revised
Statutes.

     At HEI's annual meeting of stockholders held on April 18, 1989, the
stockholders adopted a proposal authorizing HEI to enter into written indemnity
agreements with its officers and directors.  Pursuant to such authority, HEI has
entered into agreements of indemnity with certain of its officers and directors.
The agreements provide for mandatory indemnification of officers and directors
to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law, which could among other
things protect officers and directors from certain liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933.  Indemnification under the agreements may be provided
without a prior determination that an officer or director acted in good faith or
in the best interests of the Company, and without prior court approval of
indemnification of an officer or director adjudicated liable in a shareholder's
derivative action.  The agreements provide for indemnification against expenses
(including attorneys' fees),  judgments, fines and settlement amounts in
connection with any action by or in the right of the Company.

     Under a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy, directors and
officers are insured against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities
under the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

     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:

                                      II-3
<PAGE>
 
               (i)  to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
     the Securities Act of 1933, unless the information required to be included
     in such post-effective amendment is contained in a periodic report filed by
     the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934 and incorporated by reference in this Registration
     Statement;

               (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, unless the information required to be included in
     such post-effective amendment is contained in a periodic report filed by
     the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934 and incorporated by reference 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 the Registration
     Statement;

          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, 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.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934  (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the provisions described under Item 6, or otherwise, the
Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is therefore unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

     (c)  Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) hereof, effective July 1,

                            RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN


     In accordance with Section 10.1 of the Hawaiian Electric Industries

following respects:

     1.  Section 6.2(e) is amended to read as follows:

the distribution provisions of a Merged Plan (as such term is defined under the
definition of "Accounts" under Section 1.1) differ from the provisions in this
Section 6.2, the distribution provisions of such Merged Plan shall continue to

Plan, and the earnings thereon.  The assets transferred to the Plan from the
American Savings Bank Profit Sharing and Tax-Favored Retirement Savings Plan,
the Hawaiian Tug & Barge Corp. Supplemental Retirement Plan, the Hawaiian
Electric Industries Stock Ownership Plan, the First Nationwide Employees'
Investment Plan and the HEI Diversified Defined Contribution Pension Plan upon
their merger or transfer of assets and liabilities into the Plan shall be
governed by Appendices C, D, E, F, and G respectively, which are incorporated
into the Plan by reference.

     2.  The assets and liabilities of the HEI Diversified Defined Contribution
Pension Plan, to the extent attributable to employees or former employees of HEI
Diversified, Inc., Malama Pacific Corp., and Hawaiian Electric Renewable
Systems, Inc., Lalamilo Ventures, Inc., and former employees of Hawaiian
Insurance & Guaranty Co., Ltd. ("HIG") currently employed by Hawaiian Electric
Industries, Inc. ("HEI") or an HEI affiliate other than HIG, shall be
transferred into the Plan effective April 1, 1993, or as soon as
administratively feasible thereafter, to be held in trust under the Plan.  Upon
such transfer of assets to the Plan, such assets will be held and administered
as provided in Appendix G to the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and
incorporated herein and into the Plan by this reference, in accordance with
Section 411(d)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code.

     The amendments set forth herein shall be effective as of April 1, 1993.

                   Re:  HEI Diversified Defined Contribution
                        Pension Plan


          This Appendix G sets forth the provisions which will govern the assets
and liabilities transferred to the Hawaiian Electric Industries Retirement
Savings Plan (the "Plan") from the HEI Diversified Defined Contribution Pension
Plan (the "HEIDI Plan") (such assets and liabilities being hereinafter referred
to as the "Transferred Assets").  Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms
defined in the Plan and not defined herein shall be used herein as defined in
the Plan.

          1.  A separate account will be maintained for the Transferred Assets
for each Special Participant (each, a "HEIDI Account"), which shall be fully
vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

          2.  The Transferred Assets will be governed by the terms of the Plan
as "Contributions" under the Plan, each Special Participant who was a
participant in the HEIDI Plan prior to the transfer of the Transferred Assets
will be considered a "Participant" in the Plan with respect to such Transferred
Assets and each HEIDI Account will be considered an "Account" under the Plan, in
each case when appropriate in the context (as determined by the Plan
Administrator in his discretion) following the transfer of the Transferred
Assets; provided, however, that distributions of such Transferred Assets will be
governed by the provisions of the HEIDI Plan, unless and until such provisions
are amended pursuant to the Plan, and by provisions of the Plan to the extent
they are not inconsistent with such HEIDI Plan provisions (as determined by the
Plan Administrator).  In particular, the provisions of Section 7.2
(Distributions) and 7.3 (Special Distribution Rules) of the HEIDI Plan, copies
of which are attached hereto, shall govern the distribution of said Transferred
Assets.

          3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transferred Assets shall be
governed by provisions of the HEIDI Plan, and by the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the Code"), to the extent required by the Code and such
regulations.

Section 7.2  Distributions
- --------------------------

          (a)  A Participant's vested interest in his Accounts shall be
distributed only upon his termination of employment with the Participating
Employers and the Associated Companies.  No distributions shall be made if a
Participant remains employed by a Participating Employer or an Associated
Company in a capacity in which he is not eligible to participate in the Plan.
Except for distribution to a Beneficiary in the case of death, all distributions
shall be to the Participant.

          (b)  Distributions shall be made as soon as practicable after the
event that entitled the Participant or, in the case of a Participant's death,
his Beneficiary, to such distribution.

          (c)  Distributions shall be made in a lump sum.

          (d)  If a Participant (i) terminated employment, (ii) was not 100%
vested in his Employer Contribution Account, (iii) received a distribution, and
(iv) is re-employed prior to incurring five consecutive One-Year Breaks in
Service, the value of his vested interest ("X") in his Employer Contribution
Account after such re-employment shall be determined by the following formula:

                               X = P(AB + D) - D.

For purposes of this formula, P is the vested percentage at the relevant time;
AB is the account balance at the relevant time; and D is the amount of the
distribution.

Section 7.3  Special Distribution Rules
- ---------------------------------------

          (a)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, unless a
Participant requests pursuant to this Section 7.3(a), the distribution of a
Participant's Accounts must begin not later than the 60th day after the latest
of the close of the Plan Year in which (i) the Participant attains age 65, (ii)
occurs the tenth anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced
participation in the Plan, or (iii) the Participant terminates his service with
the Participating Employers.  A Participant may request that distribution of his
Accounts commence at a date later than the latest date provided under the prior
sentence.  This request must be made by submitting to the Plan Administrator a
written statement, signed by the Participant, that describes the distribution
and the date on which the Participant requests payment to commence. The Plan
Administrator shall not grant this request if such request would not comply with
the requirements of regulations under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, including
Treas. Reg. (S)1.401(a)(9)-2.

                                     -15-
<PAGE>
 
          (b)  (1)  If a form of distribution commenced prior to the
participant's death, the portion, if any, of his Accounts remaining at his death
must be distributed to his Beneficiary at least as rapidly as under such form.

               (2)  If distribution of the Participant's Accounts had not
commenced at his date of death, such Accounts must be distributed within five
years of such date, unless such Accounts are paid over the life of the
Participant's (i) designated Beneficiary and such payment commences no later
than one year after the Participant's death or (ii) surviving spouse and such
payment commences no later than the date the Participant would have attained age
70-1/2.

               (3)  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, a
Participant's vested Accounts must be distributed (or commence to be distributed
over his life expectancy or the joint life expectancies of the Participant and
his Beneficiary) no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which he attains age 70-1/2, whether or not he has retired by
that date.

               (4)  If the present value of the Member's Participant's vested
Accounts does not exceed $3,500, such vested Accounts shall be distributed as
soon as practicable following the event that entitled the Member to a
distribution thereof.  If the present value of the Participant's vested Accounts
exceeds $3,500, written consent of the Participant must be obtained not more
than 90 days before the commencement of the distribution of any part of the
Participant's Accounts.  If a Participant's vested Accounts are so distributable
to him and he fails to consent to an immediate distribution, such failure shall
be regarded as an election to defer distribution to the later of age 62 or
Normal Retirement Age.

                            RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN


     In accordance with Section 10.1 of the Hawaiian Electric Industries
Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan"), the Plan is hereby amended in the
following respects:

     1.  Effective January 1, 1994, Section 6.4 of the Plan is amended as set
forth in "Exhibit A" attached hereto.  Revised Section 6.4 changes the
provisions previously applicable to loans from the Plan by:  (i) with the
exception noted in (ii) below, making loans available for any reason and no
longer requiring Committee approval; and (ii) restricting Participants to two
loans from the Plan outstanding at any given time, provided that the second loan
be subject to the existing requirements for hardship loans and be subject to
Committee approval.

     2.  In accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors of Hawaiian
Electric Industries, Inc. dated January 19, 1993, relating to the provision of
an employer contribution under the Plan for certain former participants in the
HEI Diversified Defined Contribution Pension Plan, the Plan is amended in the
following respects:

     a.  Article I is amended by amending 1.15 to read as follows and by adding
the following definition:

         1.15 Normal Retirement Age means a Participant's 55th birthday;
              ---------------------
         except that in the case of the HEI Diversified Account, it means a
         HEIDI Participant's 65th birthday.

         1.28 Disability means a total disability that, in the opinion of a
              ----------
         medical examiner satisfactory to the Plan Administrator, prevents a
         Participant from further performance of duty and is likely to be
         permanent.

         1.29 Forfeiture means that portion of a HEIDI Participant's HEI
              ----------
         Diversified Account in which he is not vested. Such nonvested portion
         shall be forfeited and allocated to other HEIDI Participants upon the
         HEIDI Participant's incurring five consecutive One-Year Breaks in
         Service.

         1.30 HEI Diversified Account means the Plan account established to
              -----------------------
         record the amount transferred from the HEI Diversified Defined
         Contribution Pension Plan to the Plan and the amount of employer
         contributions to the Plan

                                 EXHIBIT 4(k)
<PAGE>
 
     made by Malama Pacific Corp. and Lalamilo Ventures, Inc. on behalf of
     HEIDI Participants, as adjusted for allocations of income or loss,
     withdrawals, or distributions, and other factors affecting the value of
     such account.

         1.31 HEIDI Participant means Eligible Employees of certain
              -----------------
         Participating Employers who were formerly participating employers of
         the HEI Diversified Defined Contribution Pension Plan, specifically,
         Malama Pacific Corp. and Lalamilo Ventures, Inc.

         1.32 One-Year Break in Service means, as to a HEIDI Participant,
              -------------------------
         severance from the employment of the Participating Employers for a 12-
         consecutive month period. The following rules shall apply in
         determining a One-Year Break in Service:

              (a) If a HEIDI Participant who does not have any
              nonforfeitable right to his HEI Diversified Account incurs a One-
              Year Break in Service, Vesting Service granted prior to such One-
              Year Break in Service shall be disregarded after the continuous
              period of severance equals or exceeds the greater of (i) the HEIDI
              Participant's Vesting Service credited prior to such One-Year
              Break in Service or (ii) five years.

              (b) If a HEIDI Participant incurs five consecutive One-Year Breaks
              in Service, Vesting Service credited subsequent to such One-Year
              Breaks in Service shall be disregarded for purposes of determining
              the nonforfeitable percentage of his HEI Diversified Account that
              accrued before such One-Year Breaks in Service.

         1.33 Vesting Service means the period of employment for which
              ---------------
         credit given under the Plan for purposes of determining a HEIDI
         Participant's nonforfeitable interest in his HEI Diversified Account.
         For this purpose, the following rules shall apply:

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
         (A)(i) Vesting Service shall be granted for the period of time
         beginning with the date the HEIDI Participant commences employment with
         a Participating Employer (including employment prior to the Effective
         Date, as defined in the HEI Diversified Defined Contribution Pension
         Plan), to the date the HEIDI Participant terminates employment with all
         of the Participating Employers.

            (ii) If a HEIDI Participant who was formerly employed by a
         Participating Employer is re-employed by a Participating Employer,
         Vesting Service shall be granted for the period of time beginning with
         the date the HEIDI Participant commences re-employment to the date the
         HEIDI Participant subsequently terminates employment with all of the
         Participating Employers.

            (iii) If a HEIDI Participant subject to paragraph (A)(ii) of this
         Section 1.33 is so re-employed within the 12-consecutive months
         following the date on which the HEIDI Participant terminated
         employment, Vesting Service shall also be granted for the period
         commencing with such termination date and ending with such re-
         employment date.

            (iv) Except as provided in Section 1.32, all of a HEIDI
         Participant's Vesting Service shall be recognized for purposes of the
         Plan.

         (B) If a HEIDI Participant is absent from work for any period (i)
         by reason of pregnancy, the birth of a child, or the placement of
         a child in connection with the HEIDI Participant's adoption of
         such child or (ii) for purposes of caring for such child for a
         period beginning
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
          immediately following such birth or placement, the HEIDI Participant
          shall be credited with additional Vesting Service equal to the lesser
          of such period or 12 months. The severance from service date of a
          HEIDI Participant absent beyond the first anniversary of the first day
          of maternity or paternity absence is the second anniversary of the
          first day of such absence. The period between the first and second
          anniversaries of the first date of such absence shall not be regarded
          as a period of service or a period of severance.

          (C)(i)  Vesting Service shall be granted for:

          (a) Military leave of absence provided the HEIDI Participant returns
          to active employment with a Participating Employer within the period
          and conditions prescribed by law.

          (b) Personal leave of absence authorized by a Participating Employer
          that is not in excess of one year. Personal leave of absence in excess
          of one year may be authorized by a Participating Employer; however, no
          Vesting Service will be granted for such leave.

          (c) A period of absence because of curtailment of work, not to exceed
          six months, provided the HEIDI Participant returns to employment
          within two weeks after notification by a Participating Employer that
          work is available.

          (d) Any other absence from active employment provided such absence is
          authorized by a Participating Employer.

          Any HEIDI Participant absent from active employment because of illness

                                       4
<PAGE>

          or injury will be treated the same as though the HEIDI Participant
          were actively employed as long as any Compensation prior to
          termination of employment is paid by a Participating Employer.

              (ii) In determining leaves of absence a Participating Employer
          must act in a nondiscriminatory manner.

          (D)  (i) If a HEIDI Participant is at any time employed by a company
          while it is an Associated Company (as defined in the HEI Diversified
          Defined Contribution Pension Plan), such employment shall be treated
          as employment by a Participating Employer for purposes of determining
          such individual's eligibility for participation in this Plan and his
          Vesting Service. However, the individual shall not be an active
          Participant during any such service with any Associated Company during
          the period the Associated Company is not a Participating Employer.

              (ii) If a HEIDI Participant's employment with a Participating
          Employer is terminated and he is immediately employed by an Associated
          Company, his Accounts shall remain in the Plan so long as he is
          employed by an Associated Company and such employment shall be treated
          as employment by a Participating Employer for purposes of determining
          such Participant's Vesting Service. However, he shall not be an active
          Participant while he is so employed. During any such employment with
          an Associated Company, the Participant's Accounts shall continue to be
          invested as designated by the Participant and to bear and share
          expenses and losses but the Participant will not be eligible to
          receive further allocation of employer contributions. Further
          employment by any Associated Company shall be similarly treated. If
          the Participant is re-employed by a 

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
          Participating Employer in an eligible class of employees, he shall
          immediately become an active Participant. If the Participant is
          terminated while in the employ of the Associated Company, he shall be
          treated in the same manner as if he had been terminated while in the
          employ of a Participating Employer.

     b.   Article III is amended by adding a new Section 3.5, to read as
follows:

          Section 3.5  Employer Contributions for HEIDI Participants
          ----------------------------------------------------------

          (a) For each Plan Year beginning January 1, 1993, Malama Pacific
          Corp., and Lalamilo Ventures, Inc., respectively, shall contribute to
          the HEI Diversified Account of each HEIDI Participant employed by it
          during the Plan Year and eligible for an allocation of employer
          contributions an amount equal to six percent (6%) of the Compensation
          of such HEIDI Participant while employed by such employer.

          (b)(1) In addition to employer contributions pursuant to Section
          3.5(a), for each Plan Year Malama Pacific Corp. and Lalamilo Ventures,
          Inc., shall contribute to the HEI Diversified Accounts under the Plan
          for each Plan Year such amount, if any, as may be determined by its
          Board of Directors.

             (2) An employer's contribution under this paragraph (b) shall be
          allocated as soon as practicable after the close of such Plan Year
          among each HEIDI Participant employed by such contributing employer
          during such Plan Year and eligible for an allocation of employer
          contributions under Section 3.5(d). Such allocation shall be in the
          proportion that the Compensation of each such HEIDI Participant for
          such year bears to the Compensation of all such HEIDI Participants for
          such year.

          (c) Any Forfeiture occurring during a Plan Year shall be regarded as
          employer contributions for such Plan Year. To the extent that the
          amount of Forfeitures for such Plan Year exceed the amount required by

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
          subparagraph (a), such excess Forfeiture amount shall be held in a
          suspense account and shall be used to reduce employer contributions
          under this Section 3.5 in the succeeding year or years.

          (d) Each HEIDI Participant shall be eligible for an allocation of
          employer contributions for a Plan Year pursuant to (a) and (b) above
          if the HEIDI Participant:

              (i) Is employed by Malama Pacific Corp. or Lalamilo Ventures,
          Inc., on the last day of such Plan Year;

              (ii) Died, retired or terminated serviced because of Disability
          during such Plan Year;

              (iii) Transferred from Malama Pacific Corp., or Lalamilo Ventures,
          Inc. to the service of another Participating Employer in that Plan
          Year and is employed by a Participating Employer on the last day of
          such Plan Year; or

              (iv) Is on leave of absence or military service on the last day of
          such Plan Year.

     c.   Section 6.1 shall be amended to read as follows:

          (a) Except as to amounts in the HEI Diversified Account attributable
          to employer contributions for Plan Years beginning January 1, 1993,
          and any investment earnings thereon, the interest of each Participant
          in his Accounts shall always be fully vested and nonforfeitable.

          (b)(i) Upon a HEIDI Participant's termination of employment on or
          after attainment of his Normal Retirement Age or because of his death
          or Disability, the HEIDI Participant or his Beneficiary, as the case
          may be, shall be entitled to receive 100% of the adjusted balance of
          his HEI Diversified Account as of the valuation date preceding
          distribution thereof.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
              (ii) If a HEIDI Participant's employment shall terminate under
          circumstances other than those set forth in Section 6.1(b)(i), he
          shall be entitled to receive, as to amounts in the HEI Diversified
          Account attributable to employer contributions for Plan Years
          beginning January 1, 1993, and any investment earnings thereon, the
          following percentage of such amount as of the valuation date preceding
          distribution thereof:

          Years of Vesting Service       Percentage
          ------------------------       ----------

               Less than 2                    0%
               2 or more                    100%

     The amendments set forth herein shall be effective as of January 1, 1993.

                                  EXHIBIT "A"


Section 6.4 Loans to Participants
- ---------------------------------

     (a)  Amount of Loans.
          --------------- 

          (1)  A Participant may obtain a cash loan from the Plan.  For loans
granted or renewed after October 18, 1989, the minimum amount of any such loan
shall be $1,000.  To apply for such a loan a Participant must file a prescribed
loan request form with the Plan Administrator.  The maximum amount of the loan
is subject to the limitations set forth in subparagraph (2) below.

          (2)  At no time shall the aggregate balance of all loans that a
Participant has outstanding under the Plan or under any other qualified plan
maintained by a Participating Employer exceed the lesser of the following:

               (i)  $50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of -- (I) the
Participant's highest outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during the one
(1) year period ending on the day before the date on which such loan was made,
over (II) the Participant's outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the
date on which such loan was made; or

               (ii)  50% of the vested portion of the Participant's Accounts.

No loan shall be granted if it would cause either of the foregoing limitations
to be exceeded.  For purposes of this provision, any renegotiation, extension,
renewal or revision of an existing loan is treated as a new loan on the date of
such renegotiation, extension, renewal or revision.

     (b)  Number of Loans Outstanding.
          --------------------------- 

          (1)  Except as set forth in (b)(2) below, at no time shall a
Participant have more than one (1) loan outstanding under the Plan.

          (2)  In the case of a Participant's financial hardship meeting the
criteria set forth for a withdrawal pursuant to section 6.3 (b), a Participant
may apply for a loan although the Participant already has one (1) loan
outstanding from the Plan; provided, however, that such a loan application shall
be subject to approval of two members of the Committee. The Committee members,
in their sole discretion, may withhold their consent to any such loan request
under this Section 6.4(b)(2), or may consent only to the borrowing of a part of
the amount requested by the Participant. The Committee members shall act upon
requests for such loans in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner consistent
with the requirements of the Code and applicable regulations (taking into
account only those factors which would be considered in a normal 

<PAGE>
 
business setting by a commercial lender).

     (c)  Participants Eligible for Loans.  For purposes of this Section 6.4,
          -------------------------------                                    
Participants eligible to receive loans shall include inactive terminated
employees who (1) still have an Account balance under the Plan and (2) are
classified as "parties in interest" under Section 3(14) of ERISA (such
individuals being hereinafter referred to as "Eligible Former Participants"),
provided, however, that the granting of loans to Eligible Former Participants
not result in disqualification of or other sanction to the Plan under the Code
or other applicable law.

     (d)  Terms of Loans.  A loan to a Participant shall be made on such terms
          --------------                                                      
and conditions as the Asset Manager may determine, provided that the loan shall:

          (1)  Be evidenced by a promissory note signed by the Participant and
secured by his Accounts;

          (2)  Bear interest on unpaid principal at the prevailing rate charged
on similar loans at American Savings Bank, provided such rate is not lower than
that commensurate with the rate applicable to other Plan investments with a
comparable degree of risk;

          (3)  Be subject to a substantially level amortization schedule and
minimum monthly repayment amounts;

          (4)  Provide for loan payments to be withheld through periodic payroll
deductions from the Participant's compensation from a Participating Employer;
and

          (5)  Provide for repayment in full on or before the earlier of (i)
except for Eligible Former Participants not receiving lump-sum distributions of
their Accounts upon severance, the date when the Participant severs from all
employment with the Participating Employers, or (ii) the date five years after
the loan is made, provided that such date may be 15 years after the loan is made
if the loan is used to acquire or construct a dwelling that within a reasonable
period of time is to be used as the Participant's principal residence.

     (e)  Source of Loans.  The Accounts which may be subject to loans by
          ---------------                                                
Participants are the Salary Reduction Account, Participant Voluntary Account,
Rollover Account, and Employer-ASB Account.

     (f)  Disbursement of Loans.  A loan, if approved, shall be disbursed as
          ---------------------                                             
soon as reasonably practicable after the date on which the Committee members
approve the loan.

     (g)  Spouse Consent.  A Participant must obtain the consent of his spouse,
          --------------                                                       
if any, within the 90-day period before the time the 

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
Participant's Accounts are used as security for a loan under this Section 6.4. A
new consent shall be required if the Accounts are used for any increase in the
amount of security. A consent under this Section 6.4 shall comply with the
requirements of Section 6.3(c), but shall be deemed to meet any requirements
contained in such section relating to the consent of any subsequent spouse.

     (h)  Investment Gain or Loss.  Upon the making of such a loan, the Asset
          -----------------------                                            
Manager shall cause a separate investment account to be established in the name
and for the sole benefit of the Participant.  Such loan shall be regarded as an
investment asset of such account and all gain, loss, or expenses of such loan
shall be attributed solely to this separate account.  This separate account
shall not share in the gains or losses of any other investment alternative of
the Plan, nor shall any other investment alternative of the Plan share in the
gains, losses, or expenses of this separate account.

     (i)  Default.  Plan loans will be considered to be in default when any
          -------                                                          
required payment is not made within ninety (90) days of its due date.  The
Committee will enforce the security interest for the loan by retaining, upon the
first distributable event applicable to the Participant, up to 100% of the
portion of the Participant's vested Accounts which were originally given as
security on the loan, or such portion thereof sufficient to cover the
Participant's defaulted principal and interest payments, and any additional
interest accruing thereon.

                      SECOND AMENDMENT TO TRUST AGREEMENT
                   BETWEEN FIDELITY MANAGEMENT TRUST COMPANY
                             AND HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC



     THIS SECOND AMENDMENT, dated as of the 1st day of  January, 1994, by and
between Fidelity Management Trust Company (the "Trustee") and Hawaiian Electric
Industries, Inc. ("the Sponsor");

                                  WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Trustee and the Sponsor heretofore entered into a trust
agreement dated November 28, 1988 and amended on December 22, 1989, with regard
to the Hawaiian Electric Industries Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan"); and

     WHEREAS, the Trustee and the Sponsor now desire to amend said trust
agreement as provided for in Section 13 thereof;

     WHEREAS, The Sponsor hereby establishes three trusts: one, for which Peter
C. Lewis and Constance H. Lau serve as trustees, to hold the Plan assets under
the Plan invested in Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. Common Stock and ASB
Money Market Account and the second for which Hawaiian Trust Company, Limited
serves as trustee to hold the Plan assets under the plan invested in Hawaiian
Electric Industries, Inc. Common Stock; and the other, for which the Trustee
serves as trustee, to hold and invest the remaining plan assets under the Plan
for the exclusive benefit of participants in the Plan and their beneficiaries;
and

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises the Trustee and the
Sponsor hereby amend the trust agreement by:

(1) Amending Section 4(b) by adding a new subsection 4(b)(iii) renumbering
    existing subsections accordingly:

    (iii)  a registered investment company not advised by Fidelity Management
           and Research Company (the "ASB Money Market Account"),

(2) Amending Section 4(c) by deleting the first six sentences of the paragraph
    and replacing them with the following:

     (c)  Participant Direction.  Each Plan participant shall direct the Trustee
          ---------------------
in which investment option(s) to invest the assets in the participant's
individual accounts.  Such directions may be made by Plan participants by use of
the telephone exchange system maintained for such purposes by the Trustee or its
agent, in accordance with written Telephone Exchange Guidelines as revised from
time to time.  A participant shall be considered a named fiduciary of the Plan
under ERISA for purposes of using the telephone exchange system to provide
investment directions to the Trustee for the participant's individual account.
In the event that the Trustee fails to receive a proper direction, the assets
shall be invested in the investment option set forth for such purpose on
Schedule "C", until the Trustee receives a proper direction.

                                 EXHIBIT 4(n)

    such loans separate from the other assets of the Administrator and clearly
    identify such assets as Plan assets, and (iv) cancel and surrender the notes
    and other loan documentation when a loan has been paid in full. To originate
    a participant loan, the Plan participant shall direct the Trustee as to the
    type of loan to be made from the participant's individual account. Such
    directions shall be made by Plan participants by use of the telephone
    exchange system maintained for such purpose by the Trustee or its agent. The
    Trustee shall determine, based on the current value of the participant's
    account, the amount available for the loan. Based on the monthly interest
    rate supplied by the Sponsor in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the
    Trustee shall advise the participant of such interest rate, as well as the
    installment payment amounts. The Trustee shall forward the loan document to
    the participant for execution and submission for approval to the
    Administrator. The Administrator shall have the responsibility for approving
    the loan and instructing the Trustee to send the loan proceeds to the
    Administrator or to the participant if so directed by the Administrator. In
    all cases, such instruction by the Administrator shall be made within thirty
    (30) days of the participant's initial request (the origination date).

(4) Amending and Restating Section 14(a) to read as follows:

(6) Amending Schedule "C" by identifying ASB Money Market Account (an investment
    company not advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company), as the fund

                            RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
               OPERATING PROCEDURES AGREEMENT - HEI COMMON STOCK


Based upon Fidelity Institutional Retirement Services Company's ("Fidelity")
understanding of the trust arrangement between Hawaiian Electric Industries,
Inc. (the "Sponsor") and Peter C. Lewis and Constance H. Lau (individually and
collectively, the "Fund Trustee"), the operating procedures as of March 15, 1994
governing the Hawaiian Electric Industries common stock investment option (the
"Fund") offered under the Hawaiian Electric Industries Retirement Savings Plan
(the "Plan") are as follows:

Purchase and Sale Instructions:

Fidelity will provide the Fund Trustee with stock purchase and sale instructions
via fax once Fidelity is in a position to calculate the appropriate amounts.
Separate totals will be sent to the Fund Trustee for both purchases and sales of
company stock in the plan. The Fund Trustee will provide Fidelity with
confirmation of receipt of the instructions via fax on the business day
following the day the instructions are received by the Fund Trustee.

Pricing:

The Fund Trustee will fax stock prices to Fidelity by 4:30 p.m. EST on the day
the Fund Trustee receives confirmation of a purchase or sale from the broker or
the Sponsor's Stock Transfer Agent.  The Fund Trustee will call Fidelity when
the price will be faxed to ensure that the price is received and entered to the
Fidelity recordkeeping system. The value of participant stock transactions will
be based solely upon the price received from the Fund Trustee.  This price will
not be reviewed by Fidelity.

The following special situation revolves around the processing of distributions
involving company stock.  The participant distributions will be processed on the
date the stock price is actually received by Fidelity.  Fidelity is unable to
process participant distributions that involve stock without the stock price.

Monetary Transfers:

For purposes of wire transfers, Fidelity will not net purchase and redemption
activity occurring on the same day.  The monetary transfers between Fidelity and
the Fund Trustee will operate as follows:

- -   The proceeds of stock redemptions for participant distributions and
    exchanges will be wired to Fidelity using the wire instructions set forth
    below. The Fund Trustee will notify Fidelity of the amount of the wire on or
    before the wire transfer date. Fidelity will invest exchange proceeds and
    mail participant distribution checks on the same day the wire is received
    from the Fund Trustee. If Fidelity is not notified of the wire date,
    Fidelity is not obligated to invest the exchange proceeds or mail
    participant checks until one business day following receipt of the wire. If
    any amount of the expected wire is not invested or disbursed on the business
    day such wire was received by Fidelity, Fidelity shall compensate the
    participant's account for the amount of such wire plus Prime rate published
    by the Wall Street Journal +2% for distributions and post exchanges as of
           -------------------
    the wire date.

- -   The proceeds of mutual fund exchanges into company stock will be wired to
    the Fund Trustee using the attached wire instructions set forth below on the
    day of the trade request. Fidelity will notify the Fund Trustee on the wire
    transfer date.

- -   Fidelity will not maintain a short term investment fund to hold cash
    representing fractional shares.

Corporate Actions:

The Fund Trustee is responsible for the reinvestment of all dividends, will
notify Fidelity of all dividends and provide Fidelity with the necessary written
notification to allocate the dividends to participant accounts.  This
notification will include the X-date, record date, payable date, eligible share
basis, dividend rate, trade price, and the corresponding number of shares
reinvested by the Fund Trustee.

The Fund Trustee will also notify Fidelity of all proxy matters and any
corporate actions that affect the recordkeeping system.  The Fund Trustee is
responsible for proxy mailings.  Fidelity will provide Fund Trustee with
participant data to solicit proxies.

Reconciliation:

Fidelity will provide the Fund Trustee with a monthly trial balance, and other
reports necessary for the reconciliation of the participant stock balances
maintained by Fidelity to the accounting maintained by the Fund Trustee.
<PAGE>
 
The Fund Trustee will notify Fidelity of any material differences between the
participant balances and the stock balance maintained by the Fund Trustee within
30 days of receipt of the monthly trial balance from Fidelity.

Indemnifications:

Sponsor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Fidelity for the following:

- -  Any loss incurred by Fidelity due to a pricing error caused by the Fund
   Trustee.  The Sponsor also agrees to compensate Fidelity for the cost of any
   adjustments made to participant accounts due to such an error.

- -  Any loss incurred by Fidelity due to inaccurate communication of or failure
   to communicate corporate actions which would require an update to the
   recordkeeping system.

- -  Any loss related to balance discrepancies between the participant balances
   maintained by Fidelity and the balance maintained by the Fund Trustee due to
   errors caused by the Fund Trustee.

Fidelity agrees to indemnify and hold harmless and compensate Sponsor and/or
Fund Trustee for the following:

- -  Any loss including expenses related thereto incurred by the Sponsor, Fund
   Trustee and/or Plan Participants due to a trading error caused by Fidelity.

- -  Any loss including expenses related thereto related to balance discrepancies
   between the participant balances maintained by Fidelity and the balance
   maintained by the Fund Trustee due to errors caused by Fidelity.

                            RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
           OPERATING PROCEDURES AGREEMENT - ASB MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT


Based upon Fidelity Institutional Retirement Services Company's ("Fidelity")
understanding of the trust arrangement between Hawaiian Electric Industries,
Inc. (the "Sponsor") and Peter C. Lewis and Constance H. Lau (individually and
collectively, the "Fund Trustee"), the operating procedures as of March 15, 1994
governing the ASB Money Market Account (the "Fund") offered under the Hawaiian
Electric Industries Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") which will be priced at
$1.00 are as follows:


Trade Instructions:

Fidelity will provide the Fund Trustee with trading instructions via fax once
Fidelity is in a position to calculate the appropriate trade amounts.  Separate
trade totals will be sent to the Fund Trustee for both purchases and redemptions
of the Fund.  The Fund Trustee will provide Fidelity with confirmation of
receipt of the trade instructions via fax on the business day following the day
the trade is received by the Sponsor.


Monetary Transfers:

For purposes of wire transfers, Fidelity will not net purchase and redemption
activity occurring on the same day.    The monetary transfers between Fidelity
and the Fund Trustee will operate as follows:

- -  The proceeds of Fund redemptions for participant distributions and exchanges
   will be wired to Fidelity using the wire instructions set forth below. The
   Fund Trustee will notify Fidelity of the amount of the wire on or before the
   wire transfer date. Fidelity will invest exchange proceeds and mail
   participant distribution checks on the same day the wire is received from the
   Fund Trustee. If Fidelity is not notified of the wire date, Fidelity is not
   obligated to invest the exchange proceeds or mail participant checks until
   one business day following receipt of the wire. If any amount of the expected
   wire is not invested or disbursed on the business day such wire was received
   by Fidelity, Fidelity shall compensate the participant's account for the
   amount of such wire plus Prime rate published by the Wall Street Journal +2%
                                                        -------------------
   for distributions and post exchanges as of the wire date.

- -  The proceeds of mutual fund exchanges into the Fund will be wired to the Fund
   Trustee using the wire instructions set forth below on the day of the trade
   request.  Fidelity will notify the Fund Trustee on the wire transfer date.


Interest Posting:

By the fifth business day after each month-end, the Fund Trustee will provide
Fidelity with written instructions specifying the total amount of interest to be
allocated to participants invested in the Fund.  The basis for this allocation
will be the 25th day of the month (or prior business day if the 25th is not a
business day) and will be posted to participant accounts as of the last business
day of the previous month-end (i.e. interest for January will be allocated to
participant accounts based on their pro-rata account balance on January 25th).
Participants who redeem between the 1st and the 25th will not be eligible for
the interest.


Reconciliation:

Fidelity will provide the Sponsor with a monthly trial balance and other reports
necessary for the reconciliation of the participant Fund balances maintained by
Fidelity to the accounting maintained by the Fund Trustee.

The Fund Trustee will notify Fidelity of any material differences between the
balance per the monthly trial balance and the balance maintained by the Fund
Trustee within 30 days of receipt of the monthly trial balance from Fidelity.


Indemnifications:

Sponsor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Fidelity for the following:

- -  Any loss related to balance discrepancies between the participant balances
   maintained by Fidelity and the balance maintained by the Fund Trustee due to
   errors caused by the Fund Trustee.
<PAGE>
 
Fidelity agrees to indemnify, hold harmless the Sponsor and/or Fund Trustee for
the following:

- -  Any loss including expenses related thereto incurred by the Sponsor, Fund
   Trustee and/or Plan participants due to a trading error caused by Fidelity.

                          AMENDMENT TO TRUST AGREEMENT
                 BETWEEN HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, INC. AND
                      PETER C. LEWIS AND CONSTANCE H. LAU


     WHEREAS, Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. ("HEI") is the sponsor of the
Hawaiian Electric Industries Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan"); and

     WHEREAS, HEI has hereto established three trusts to hold and invest plan
assets under the Plan for the exclusive benefit of participants in the Plan and
their beneficiaries, the third of which holds and invests the portion of plan
assets consisting of HEI common stock (except that the authority to vote said
shares has been delegated to Hawaiian Trust Company, Ltd.) and investments in
the American Savings Bank Money Market Account, pursuant to a Trust Agreement
between HEI and Peter C. Lewis and Constance H. Lau (together, the "Trustees")
dated December 19, 1989 and effective January 1, 1990; and

     WHEREAS, it is desirable that the Trustees also hold in trust uninvested
Plan contributions and repayments of Plan loans until such time as those amounts
can be invested as directed by Plan participants; and

     WHEREAS, due to the existence of commingled accounts relating to assets of
the Plan, it is necessary to clarify that the Trustees may authorize others to
act on their behalf in dealing with certain plan assets;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements set forth below, HEI and the Trustees agree to amend
the Trust Agreement, effective as of January 1, 1994 as follows:

     1.  Amend paragraph 1 to add the following:

         "Effective January 1, 1994, the Trustees shall also act as trustees for
         the purpose of holding any contributions and loan repayments relating
         to the Plan until such time as those funds can be invested in the
         investment option under the Plan as directed by the Plan participant."

     2.  Add a new paragraph 3, as follows:

         "3. The Trustees, individually and collectively, shall have the
         authority to designate one or more persons to act as his, her or their
         agents and on his, her or their behalf in matters involving the
         investment and holding of the plan assets for which they are
         responsible; provided that such designating Trustee or

<PAGE>
 
     Trustees shall remain ultimately responsible for the
     proper investment and holding of such plan assets."

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment to
Trust Agreement or caused it to be executed by their duly authorized officers as
of January 1, 1994.
