               10.  Entire Agreement. This Amendment and the Power Purchase
Agreement, as amended herein, embody the whole agreement and understanding of
the parties as to matters described herein and supersede and nullify all prior
agreements, arrangements and understandings related to the subject matter of
this Amendment; provided, however, that:

                         (a)  Nothing in this Section 10 shall cause the Power
Purchase Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable against HECO or Kalaeloa on
the basis of regulatory action concerning this Amendment, and

                         (b)  Other than as provided in Section 11, neither HECO
nor Kalaeloa shall make any claim, directly or indirectly, in any form that this
Amendment is invalid or unenforceable on the basis of, or in reliance in any way
upon, any regulatory action concerning this Amendment.

               11.  Effective Date. Each provision of this Amendment shall
become effective upon (a) such provision being (i) approved by the Hawaii Public
Utilities Commission ("PUC"), and (ii) consented to by ING (U.S.) Capital LLC,
as Agent for the Lenders under the Amended and Restated Loan and Note Purchase
Agreement, dated as of December 10, 1991, and (b) transfer of ABB Hawaiian's
general partner partnership interest in Kalaeloa to PKI pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement. Should the PUC not approve this Amendment by March 31, 2000, this
Amendment shall be null and void ab initio. After receipt by HECO of a complete
set of closing documents for the transactions contemplated herein, HECO will,
within a commercially reasonable time, file with the PUC a request for its
approval.
