WHEREAS, the parties hereto (or their predecessors) have entered into the Stockholders Agreement, dated December 8, 1995 (the “Original Stockholders Agreement).

WHEREAS, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 2, 2002 (the “Hawaiian Merger Agreement”), by and among Hawaiian Airlines, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (“Hawaiian Airlines”), the Company and HA Sub Inc., and an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 2, 2002 (the “AIP Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, AIP General Partner, Inc., AIP, Inc., and AIP Merger Sub, Inc., Hawaiian Airlines was reorganized into a holding company structure whereby the Company owns (directly and indirectly) all of the shares of Hawaiian Airlines, and Airline Investors Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AIP, L.P.”) was restructured into AIP (such transactions referred to herein collectively as the “Reorganization”).

WHEREAS, as a result of the Reorganization, the shareholders of Hawaiian Airlines (other than AIP, L.P.) received the same number of shares of the Company as they held immediately prior thereto, and AIP received the same number of shares of the Company as AIP, L.P. held immediately prior thereto.

WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 5.10 of the Original Stockholders Agreement, each of AIP and the Company executed and delivered a Joinder to the Stockholders Agreement, pursuant to which AIP and the Company assumed all of the rights, duties and obligations of AIP, L.P. and Hawaiian Airlines, respectively, under the Original Stockholders Agreement.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Hawaiian Merger Agreement (and, in the case of the Unions, in accordance with the collective bargaining agreements between Hawaiian Airlines and the Unions), each of AIP and each Union was issued a number of shares of a series of special preferred stock of the Company equal to the number of shares of the special preferred stock of Hawaiian Airlines held by AIP, L.P. and such Union, respectively, immediately prior to the Reorganization, with substantially the same rights, preferences and privileges as the special preferred stock of Hawaiian Airlines held by AIP, L.P. and each Union, respectively, immediately prior to the Reorganization.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to reflect the consummation of the Reorganization, the parties hereby amend and restate the Original Stockholders Agreement in its entirety to read as follows:

3.2 Amendment of Charter Documents.

This Agreement, together with the exhibits hereto, is intended by the AIP Stockholder and the Unions as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of such parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein.

5.9 Transfer to Affiliates. An AIP Stockholder shall not transfer any Shares to any Affiliate of AIP or an AIP Stockholder (an “AIP Affiliate”) unless the AIP Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement in the same manner as AIP.

5.10 Successors and Assigns. This agreement shall be binding on any successor that acquires all or substantially all of AIP or any AIP Affiliate that maintains beneficial or record ownership of any Shares (an “AIP Successor”), and the AIP Stockholder shall not adopt or permit any agreement or arrangement that results in an AIP Successor unless the AIP Successor agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement in the same manner as AIP.
