ITEM 1.     BUSINESS.
            ---------

Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. ("Hawaiian Airlines" or the "Company") was incorporated
in January 1929 under the laws of the Territory of Hawaii and maintains its
principal offices at 3375 Koapaka Street, Suite G-350, Honolulu, Hawaii 96819.
Its telephone and facsimile numbers are (808) 835-3700 and (808) 835-3690,
respectively.  Based on operating revenues, Hawaiian Airlines is the largest
airline headquartered in Hawaii and is engaged primarily in the scheduled
transportation of passengers, cargo and mail over a route system which services
the six major islands of the State of Hawaii, several cities primarily in the
U.S. West Coast region and certain destinations in the South Pacific.

                                   OPERATIONS
                                   ----------

The Company's passenger airline business is its chief source of revenue.
Scheduled passenger service consists of, on average, approximately 150 flights
per day among the six major islands of the State of Hawaii ("Interisland"),
daily service to four U.S. West Coast cities and Las Vegas ("Transpac"), and two
flights per week to Pago Pago, American Samoa and one flight per week to
Papeete, Tahiti in the South Pacific ("Southpac").  The Company also provides
charter service to Las Vegas.  For the fifth consecutive year, the Company was
rated by the travel and hospitality publication, Conde Nast Traveler, as one of
the ten best airlines in the U.S. based on scheduling, punctuality, cabin
comfort/service, food and baggage handling.

The Interisland and Transpac routes served by the Company are highly competitive
with such competition primarily based on fare levels, performance, aircraft
equipment and service.  The markets are subject to seasonal and cyclical
volatility primarily due to seasonal leisure and holiday travel.  The Company
believes Hawaii is one of the most popular destinations for passengers flying on
frequent flyer travel awards and is in general a popular spot for vacation
travelers.  As such, the Company typically experiences strong travel periods
during June, July, August and December.  Fare levels and load factors are higher
during these peak travel periods.  Conversely, reduced fare levels and lower
load factors are typically experienced in periods outside of these months.
Aggressive fare pricing strategies that increase the availability of ticket
discounts are utilized during these weaker travel periods.

The Company believes that its markets have historically been insulated to some
degree from the downward pressures affecting the airline industry due to
Hawaii's high level of year-round tourism.  However, during the recessionary
period commencing in 1990, Hawaii's visitor counts decreased from over 6.9
million in 1990 to 6.5 million in 1994.  Statistics from the Hawaii Visitors
Bureau indicate that year over year Hawaii visitor arrivals increased by 3.0% to
approximately 6.6 million visitors in 1995.  Local industry consultants project
a moderate 2.0% to 3.0% increase in visitor counts for 1996, with the Hawaii
tourism industry not experiencing pre-recession visitor counts until 1997.  The
recent cold weather front throughout the continental U.S., the effects of the
hurricane in the Caribbean and the apparent rebound of the Japanese economy
should hopefully assist in the continued  recovery of Hawaii tourism.

INTERISLAND OPERATIONS
- ----------------------

The Interisland market averages approximately nine million passengers annually,
comprised of visitors and Hawaii residents.  One-third of this market is
represented by residents of Hawaii who rely on Interisland flights in much the
same way as mainland residents rely on a state highway system.  While there are
several small commuter and air taxi companies which provide air transportation
to airports which cannot be served with large aircraft, the Interisland market
is basically serviced by  two carriers, Hawaiian Airlines and Aloha Airlines,
Inc. ("Aloha").

The Company's Interisland operations provide service to seven airports on the
six major Hawaiian islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, Molokai and Lanai.  In
1994 the Company inaugurated the Hawaiian Airlines Island Shuttle, which offers
flights departing between Oahu and Maui every half hour and Oahu and Kauai every
hour.  At December 31, 1995, Hawaiian Airlines' Interisland fleet consisted of
13 DC-9-50 aircraft.  During 1995, the Interisland market represented
approximately 41.0% of the Company's scheduled passenger revenues.

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
The Company's primary competition in the Interisland market is Aloha, whose
competitive position is strengthened through its marketing affiliations with
United Airlines, Inc. ("United").  Aloha is a member of United's frequent flyer
program and also has a code sharing agreement with United.  Aloha principally
utilizes 16 Boeing 737 aircraft with a schedule that averages approximately 190
daily flights to service the same basic Interisland routes as the Company.

In October 1993, a new competitor, Mahalo Air ("Mahalo"), commenced service to
Kauai, Maui and Kona from Honolulu. Mahalo utilizes six ATR-42 aircraft with an
average schedule of approximately 65 daily flights.  Statistical information is
not available on Mahalo.  However, because of its limited capacity, management
believes that Mahalo has not had a major impact on the Interisland market since
its inception.

Until the late 1980's, Hawaiian Airlines held a dominant share of the
Interisland market.  The  Company's market share began to decline in 1989 due to
customer service difficulties, as well as a decline in its available seat miles,
and reached a low of 35.0% in October 1991.  The Company subsequently
implemented a number of operating strategies to improve its market share,
including focusing on customer service, on-time performance and schedule and
lift availability.  The Company also strengthened its competitive position when
it became a member of the AAdvantage(R) frequent flyer program of American
Airlines, Inc. ("American") in 1994. Based on the Company's interpretation of
certain statistical information on Aloha and excluding the effects of Mahalo,
the Company believes that these programs and improvements are the reason for an
increase in its Interisland revenue passenger mile market share from the low of
October 1991 to an average of 41.3%, 41.1% and 40.8% in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

TRANSPAC OPERATIONS
- -------------------

During 1995, the Company's Transpac operations served the U.S. West Coast cities
of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Portland and Las Vegas.  At December
31, 1995, eight DC-10-10 aircraft leased from  American were used to service
Transpac routes.  Refer to Operating Affiliations and Agreements below for a
discussion on leased DC-10-10 aircraft.

The Company currently competes with major carriers such as United, American,
Delta Airlines, Inc., Continental Airlines, Inc., and Northwest Airlines, Inc.
("Northwest") on its Transpac routes.  In addition to the competition produced
by the major carriers, the Company saw continued competition in 1995 from
charter carriers in the Transpac market.  The presence of charter carriers has
placed additional downward pressure on fares.

During 1995, Hawaiian Airlines flew approximately 994,000 passengers or 2.5
billion revenue passenger miles between Hawaii and the cities of Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas and Portland.  Based on information obtained
from the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation, the Company believes that
based on the number of flights during peak seasonal travel periods in 1995, the
Company maintained 14.3% and 12.3% of the total passenger market from U.S.
Gateway cities into Honolulu and the State of Hawaii, respectively.  The Company
is the leading direct carrier between Honolulu and the cities of Las Vegas and
Portland.  The Company also believes that it is second in market share between
Honolulu and the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle.

In 1995, Transpac passenger revenues represented approximately 52.5% of the
Company's scheduled passenger revenues.

SOUTHPAC OPERATIONS
- -------------------

Hawaiian Airlines currently is the sole carrier providing air service between
Honolulu and American Samoa and Tahiti.  As a result of this lack of
competition, fares are relatively stable throughout the year.  Southpac routes
are serviced with DC-10-10 aircraft leased from American.  During 1995, the
Southpac market represented approximately 6.5% of the Company's scheduled
passenger revenues.

OVERSEAS CHARTER OPERATIONS
- ---------------------------

In January 1995, the Company commenced, in association with a Hawaii tour
operator, Transpac charter flights to Las Vegas, Nevada.  The Company operates
six charter flights per week utilizing DC-10-10 aircraft leased from 

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
American. The Company's overseas charter operation produced $22.2 million or
6.9% of total operating passenger revenues in 1995.

                                 AVIATION FUEL
                                 -------------

Aviation fuel is a significant expense for any air carrier and even marginal
changes in fuel prices can greatly impact a carrier's profitability.  The
following table sets forth statistics about Hawaiian Airlines' aviation fuel
consumption and cost for each of the last three years:

1993                  74,939            $49,570            66.1c       15.0%
</TABLE> 


Refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations contained in Part IV, Item 7 of this Form 10-K for further
discussion on aircraft fuel expense.

The single most important factor affecting petroleum product prices, including
the price of aviation fuel, continues to be the actions of the OPEC countries in
setting targets for the production and pricing of crude oil.  In addition,
aviation fuel prices are affected by the markets for heating oil, diesel fuel,
automotive gasoline and natural gas.  Seasonally, second and third quarter
aviation fuel prices are typically lower than during the first and fourth
quarters as the demand for heating oil, which competes with aviation fuel for
refinery production, subsides and refiners switch to gasoline production which
also increases the output of aviation fuel.  All petroleum product prices
continue to be subject to unpredictable economic, political and market factors.
Also, the balance among supply, demand and price has become more reactive to
world market conditions.  Accordingly, the price and availability of aviation
fuel, as well as other petroleum products, continues to be unpredictable.

In 1993, new taxes were placed on the production of certain fuels based on their
energy content. The airline industry received a two-year moratorium from the
effects of such taxes.  In October 1995, the industry and therefore, the Company
became subject to an additional 4.3c per gallon tax which may result in as much
as $3.5 to $4.0 million per year in additional fuel expense to the Company.  The
Company cannot predict whether it will be able to pass on such additional costs
to its customers.

Although Hawaiian Airlines has contracts with approximately 10 different fuel
suppliers, almost all of its aviation fuel is purchased from Northwest pursuant
to an Aviation Jet Fuel Agreement between the two companies.  The Aviation Jet
Fuel Agreement requires Northwest to provide Hawaiian Airlines with aviation
fuel at Northwest's actual acquisition cost without markup for profit and
reimbursement only for out-of-pocket costs.  Hawaiian Airlines is prohibited
from reselling such fuel.  In case of shortages, Northwest will provide fuel to
its own fleet first and then a portion of the remaining fuel available will be
allocated between Hawaiian Airlines and any other applicable airlines.  Hawaiian
Airlines paid Northwest approximately $53.0 million, $43.9 million and $44.1
million for the fuel supplied under this agreement in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

              OPERATING AFFILIATIONS AND AGREEMENTS WITH AMERICAN
              ---------------------------------------------------

The Company requires certain equipment and outside services which are imperative
for its overall operation.  A large portion of such equipment and outside
services is provided to the Company through a variety of agreements between the
Company, American, AMR Training & Consulting Group, Inc. and its affiliates.
These services and equipment include data processing, licensing of reservations
system, leasing of eight DC-10-10 aircraft, 

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
maintenance services on such DC-10-10 aircraft and participation in the
AAdvantage(R) frequent flyer program. Commencing in October 1994 and throughout
1995, the Company was delinquent in making certain payments due American under
the long-term aircraft lease agreement pursuant to which American leases DC-10s
to the Company (the "Aircraft Lease Agreement"). These payments were deferred by
American and paid by the Company in January 1996 through the delivery of a
promissory note in connection with the AIP Investment (as defined below). Refer
to Management's Discussion and Analysis, Liquidity and Capital Resources
contained in Part IV, Item 7 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on such
matters.

                                   EMPLOYEES
                                   ---------

As of December 31, 1995, Hawaiian Airlines had  2,272 employees, of which 1,917
were employed on a full-time basis.  This compares to 2,299 total employees,
including 1,945 full-time employees as of December 31, 1994. The majority of
Hawaiian Airlines' employees are covered by labor agreements with the
International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (AFL-CIO) ("IAM"),
the Air Line Pilots Association, International ("ALPA"), the Association of
Flight Attendants ("AFA"), the Transport Workers Union ("TWU") and the
Communications Section Employees Union.

In the first quarter of 1995, an early retirement program was offered by the
Company primarily to qualified participants of the IAM and salaried defined
benefit plans.  Thirty-six employees accepted early retirement under the
provisions of the program.

In January 1996, the IAM, ALPA, AFA, TWU and Communications Section Employees
ratified new bargaining unit contracts which became effective in conjunction
with the AIP Investment.  Refer to Note 16 of Notes to Financial Statements for
further discussion on the new bargaining unit contracts.

The Company believes that it maintains good relations with its employees and the
unions that represent them.

                                   REGULATION
                                   ----------

As a certificated air carrier, Hawaiian Airlines is subject to the regulatory
jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Transportation (the "DOT") and the
Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA").  The DOT has jurisdiction over
certain aviation matters such as international routes and fares, consumer
protection policies including baggage liability and denied-boarding compensation
and unfair competitive practices.  Hawaiian Airlines and all other domestic
airlines are subject to regulation by the FAA under the Transportation Act. The
FAA has regulatory jurisdiction over flight operations generally, including
equipment, ground facilities, security systems, maintenance and other safety
matters.  To assure compliance with its operational standards, the FAA requires
air carriers to obtain operations, air worthiness and other certificates which
may be suspended or revoked for cause.  The FAA also conducts safety audits and
has the power to impose fines and other sanctions for violations of aviation
safety and security regulations.  Hawaiian Airlines is subject to inspections by
the FAA in the normal course of its business on a routine ongoing basis.
Hawaiian Airlines operates under a Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity issued by the DOT authorizing it to provide commercial aircraft
service as well as a Part 121 Scheduled Carrier Operating Certificate issued by
the FAA.

The FAA frequently issues air worthiness directives, often in response to
specific incidents or reports by operators or manufacturers, requiring operators
of specified equipment to perform prescribed inspections, repairs or
modifications within stated time periods or numbers of cycles.  Hawaiian
Airlines has developed extensive maintenance programs which consist of a series
of phased checks of each aircraft type.  These checks are performed at specified
intervals measured either by time flown or by the number of takeoffs and
landings ("cycles") performed.  Checks range from daily "walk around"
inspections, to more involved overnight maintenance checks, to exhaustive and
time consuming overhauls.  Aircraft engines are subject to phased, or
continuous, maintenance programs designed to detect and remedy potential
problems before they occur.  The service lives of certain parts and components
of both airframe and engines are time or cycle controlled.  Parts and other
components are replaced or overhauled prior to the expiration of their time or
cycle limits.  The FAA approves all airline maintenance programs, including
changes to the programs.  In addition, the FAA licenses the mechanics who
perform the inspections and repairs, as well as the inspectors who monitor the
work.

Hawaiian Airlines believes that it is in compliance with all requirements
necessary to maintain in good standing its operating authority granted by the
DOT and its air carrier operating certificate issued by the FAA.  A
modification, suspension or revocation of any of the Company's DOT or FAA
authorizations or certificates would have a materially adverse effect upon the
Company.

Several aspects of airlines' operations are subject to regulation or oversight
by Federal agencies other than the FAA and DOT.  The antitrust laws are enforced
by the U.S. Department of Justice.  The U.S. Postal Service has jurisdiction
over certain aspects of the transportation of mail and related services provided
by the Company's cargo services.  Labor relations in the air transportation
industry are generally regulated under the Railway Labor Act.  The Company and
other airlines certificated prior to October 24, 1978 are also subject to
preferential hiring rights granted by the Transportation Act to certain airline
employees who have been furloughed or terminated (other than for cause).

In 1990, Congress passed legislation phasing out the use of Stage II aircraft in
the U.S. by December 31, 1999, with the possibility of certain waivers until
December 31, 2003 when full phase out is required.  Congress provided an
exemption for air carriers operating in Hawaii, or between a place in Hawaii and
a place outside the 48 contiguous states, to operate as many Stage II aircraft
of a certain weight as they operated on November 5, 1990.  Air carriers that
provided flights between places only in Hawaii on November 5, 1990 may include
in the number of Stage II aircraft under the exemption all Stage II aircraft
that it owned or leased on November 5, 1990, whether or not the aircraft were
operated by the carrier on that date.  However, an air carrier may provide
flights between places only in Hawaii using Stage II aircraft only if the
carrier provided the service on November 5, 1990. The Company believes these
exemptions restrict air carriers other than the Company and Aloha from operating
Stage II aircraft in Hawaii. Because Stage II aircraft are less expensive to
acquire than Stage III aircraft, this exemption provides limited protection
against the entry of another carrier, which would be required to operate an all
Stage III fleet.  This advantage is partially offset by the fact that Stage III
aircraft are generally less expensive to operate and maintain, as well as the
fact that in any event over time, carriers will move toward having an all Stage
III fleet.

              REORGANIZATION AND SUBSEQUENT FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS
              ----------------------------------------------------

REORGANIZATION
- --------------

On September 21, 1993, Hawaiian Airlines together with HAL, INC., Hawaiian
Airlines' parent company, and West Maui Airport, Inc., another wholly owned
subsidiary of HAL, INC. (collectively the "Predecessor"), commenced
reorganization cases by filing voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11,
Title 11 of the United States Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Hawaii. Concurrently therewith, the Debtors filed a Consolidated Plan of
Reorganization dated September 21, 1993 (as amended through the most recent
amendment dated April 20, 1995, the "Reorganization Plan") and the
Reorganization Plan became effective on September 12, 1994 (the "Effective
Date").  Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, on the Effective Date, first West
Maui Airport, Inc. and then HAL, INC. were merged with and into Hawaiian
Airlines with Hawaiian Airlines being the sole surviving corporation.  Upon the
effectiveness of the mergers, all of the outstanding equity securities of the
Company, HAL, INC., and West Maui Airport, Inc. were canceled.

Under the Plan, the Company will issue and distribute approximately 9,400,000
shares of its common stock to all of the unsecured creditors with claims allowed
under the Plan.  At December 31, 1995, the Company's common stock consisted of
two classes, one with full voting rights, Class A Common Stock, and the other
with limited voting rights, Class B Common Stock.  On June 19, 1995, the Company
commenced distribution of its Class A and Class B Common Stock and as of
December 31, 1995, 6,845,105 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,894,955 shares
of Class B Common Stock were issued and outstanding.  The Company anticipates
issuing 636,247 shares of Class A Common Stock under the Plan by late 1996 in
satisfaction of disputed claims outstanding as of December 31, 1995.  Any shares
withheld in excess of the amount distributed to the holders of such claims will
be held until all disputed claims have been resolved.  The disputed claims
consist of an aggregate $534,000 for alleged prepetition violations and various
other claims asserted by various governmental agencies and $5.2 million for
damages arising from the return of aircraft asserted by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, as receiver. Upon resolution of all disputed claims,
there will be a final distribution of any remaining withheld shares to all
general unsecured creditors on a pro rata basis.

<PAGE>
 
Following the consummation of the AIP Investment, each share of the Class B
Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reorganization Plan was converted into one
share of Class A Common Stock.

Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Company (1) granted warrants to
purchase an additional 989,011 shares of its Class A Common Stock (the "Existing
Warrants"), none of which have been exercised, and (2) reserved 600,000 shares
of the Class A Common Stock for issuance to certain employees under the
Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan, as amended.  The Class A Common Stock began
trading on the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX") and the Pacific Stock
Exchange on June 21, 1995.

AIP INVESTMENT AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
- ---------------------------------------

In February 1995, the Company's Board of Directors began to explore options to
supplement the Company's capital base, reduce its reliance on short-term bank
debt and promotional coupon sales and increase the Company's financial
flexibility.  The Company, with the assistance of its outside financial advisor,
identified and met with potential investors, including Airline Investors
Partnership, L.P. ("AIP"), regarding a possible equity investment in the
Company.  AIP ultimately agreed to make a $20.0 million cash investment in the
Company through the purchase of 18,181,818 shares of Class A Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share, and four shares of the Company's Series B Special
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "AIP Investment").  On January
31, 1996, the AIP Investment and a series of related transactions, which were
dependent and effective upon one another, were consummated.  Among other things,
the related transactions included:

 . Certain agreements and arrangements with American, including amendment to the
  Aircraft Lease Agreement, which provide for, among other things, the making of
  $10.0 million of previously deferred rent and maintenance payments and
  interest thereon with a secured promissory note, rent reduction and the
  release of a $2.0 million security deposit in the form of a letter of credit.
  In addition, the Company issued to AMR Corporation, American's parent company
  ("AMR"), warrants (the "AMR Warrants") to acquire up to 1,897,946 shares of
  the Class A Common Stock at $1.10 per share.  One-half of the AMR Warrants are
  immediately exercisable but the balance will only be exercisable if American
  and the Company enter into a code sharing agreement by January 1, 1997
  regarding the placement of the two letter flight designator code for
  American's flights on the Company's Interisland flights.  The AMR Warrants
  expire on September 11, 2001; and

 . Agreements with each of the Company's labor unions regarding certain
  modifications to their respective collective bargaining unit agreements.
  These modifications include certain wage concessions which will generate
  significant annual cost savings to the Company.

As of March 15, 1996, AIP owned approximately 67% of the outstanding Class A
Common Stock, which constitutes the only outstanding class of the Company's
common stock.  Until such time as AIP ceases to own at least 35% of the
Company's outstanding common stock, it would have the right to nominate six of
the 11 nominees to stand from time to time for election as directors of the
Company.  Thereafter, AIP would have the right to nominate five, four or three
directors so long as it owns at least 25%, 10% or 5%, respectively, of the
outstanding common stock. On January 30, 1996, six of AIP'S director nominees
were elected to the Board of Directors.  Pursuant to their collective bargaining
agreements, AFA, IAM and ALPA each have the right to nominate one of the
nominees to stand from time to time for election as directors of the Company.
On January 30, 1996, each of the IAM, ALPA and AFA director nominees were
elected to the Board of Directors.

          June 19, 1995, the Company commenced distribution of its Class A
          Common Stock.  Trading during the succeeding days was so volatile that
          the American Stock Exchange suspended trading on June 23, 1995.
          Trading was resumed on June 26, 1995.

          The following table sets forth the reported high and low sales prices

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                  INTRODUCTION
                                  ------------
                                        
The airline industry is a highly cyclical business with substantial volatility,
and airlines frequently experience short-term cash requirements caused by both
seasonal fluctuations in traffic that often put a drain on cash during off-peak
periods and other factors that are not necessarily seasonal, including the
extent and nature of price and other competition from other airlines, changing
levels of operations, national and international events, fuel prices and general
economic conditions, including inflation.  Accordingly, airlines require
substantial liquidity to sustain continued operations under most conditions.
The Company has operated with limited cash and cash equivalents and a working
capital deficit for a number of years.  Working capital deficits are not
uncommon in the airline industry since airlines typically have no product
inventories and sales not yet flown are reflected as current liabilities.

Since the commencement of deregulation in 1978, the U.S. airline industry has
become extremely competitive and volatile.  Increased competition, rising
operational costs and pricing pressures have created financial difficulties for
most airlines and many airlines have been acquired, forced to restructure or
ceased operations. After five years of losses totaling $13.0 billion, the U.S.
airline industry is expecting to make more than $2.0 billion in 1995, its first
annual profit since 1989.  Improvements in total passenger traffic, cargo
traffic, fares and operations were experienced in 1995 compared to 1994.
Further recovery will depend on the continuing strength of the overall economy,
cooperation for more efficient work rules by employees and governmental
decisions on taxes applicable to the airline industry.

As with other airlines, Hawaiian Airlines was adversely affected by the
unpredictable and often unfavorable, industry and economic conditions of the
past five years.  As discussed in Business contained in Part I, Item 1 of this
Form 10-K, the Interisland and Transpac routes served by the Company are highly
competitive with such competition primarily based on fare levels, performance,
aircraft equipment and service.  The markets are subject to seasonal and
cyclical volatility primarily due to seasonal leisure and holiday travel. The
Company typically experiences strong travel periods during June, July, August
and December.  The Company, along with other airlines, uses discount fares and
other promotions to stimulate traffic during normally slack travel periods, to
generate cash flow and to sustain relative market share in its Interisland and
Transpac markets.

Recent announcements of capacity increases to Hawaii by both international and
domestic carriers will bring pressure to bear on forecasted pricing levels.  The
charter carriers have increased capacity from secondary markets in the Western
region and United has scheduled an additional 9,000 seats per week from Japan
and the U.S. mainland, with the bulk of that capacity dedicated to San Francisco
and Los Angeles routes.  Subsequent announcements by United of service from Los
Angeles to Kona and Maui are believed to be in addition to the 9,000 seats
mentioned above.  The ever increasing presence of charter carriers and United's
increased frequencies are examples of the competitive pricing and capacity
issues facing the Company in the future.

As discussed in Business, contained in Item 1, Part I of this Form 10-K, on
September 21, 1993, Hawaiian Airlines voluntarily commenced a Chapter 11
reorganization process and emerged from bankruptcy less than a year later on
September 12, 1994, the Effective Date of the Reorganization Plan.  The Chapter
11 process resulted in the Company recognizing an extraordinary gain of $190.1
million, representing the relief of $204.7 million of liabilities net of offsets
and certain liabilities that survived the reorganization.

Consistent with the industry, excluding nonrecurring noncash transactions, the
Company improved its operating and net performance in 1995.  Nevertheless, the
Company's working capital deficit during 1995 reached an extreme level, even by
industry standards.  To address this problem, in January 1996 the Company
consummated a series of transactions, including the completion of the $20.0
million AIP Investment and certain arrangements and agreements with American and
the Company's labor unions.  These transactions have improved the Company's
liquidity substantially and will result in reduced cash operating expenses over
the next few years.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                        -------------------------------

OVERVIEW
- --------

As of December 31, 1995, the Company had a net working capital deficit of $51.7
million, representing a $5.9 million increase from the net working capital
deficit of $45.8 million at December 31, 1994.  Principally, the increase in the
working capital deficit resulted from the net of (1) an increase in accounts
payable of $17.7 million primarily due to deferred aircraft lease rents and
maintenance payments due American as further described below; (2) a decrease in
air traffic liability of $9.9 million due to the burnoff throughout 1995 of
promotional fare ticket sales held in the second and last quarters of 1994; and
(3) miscellaneous changes in other working capital accounts resulting in a $1.9
million decrease in the working capital deficit from that of 1994.

For several years, the Company has been operating with a cash balance equivalent
to less than one week's worth of operating expenses.  Continuing to operate at
that level of liquidity would place the Company's existence at risk; there would
be no cushion to respond to unexpected operational upheavals that have
periodically affected the airline industry or to cover the seasonal downturn
typically experienced by the Company in the first quarter of the year.

Due to its working capital shortage, the Company has deferred certain
discretionary capital expenditures that management believes may improve
profitability.  One example is a series of investments in improved software that
are expected to increase operating efficiency.  Another is the outlay needed to
consolidate operations into one terminal at Honolulu International Airport.  The
working capital shortage also has had an unfavorable effect on yield, which,
although difficult to quantify, is believed to be significant.  Prior to the AIP
Investment, the Company found it necessary to offer its products to wholesalers
and to the public at reduced rates in order to enhance cash flow. The uncertain
financial situation has also limited the availability of trade credit and at
times has necessitated the use of cash or equivalent security to obtain
services. Finally, potential partners in the airline industry have been
reluctant to enter into business arrangements with the Company until its
financial difficulties have been overcome.

Since the Effective Date, the Company has financed its operations from:

 . Operating cash flow;

 . Borrowings under an $8.15 million credit facility provided by CIT Group/Credit
  Finance, Inc. (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility consists of an
  $8.15 million secured revolving line of credit including up to $3.0 million of
  letters of credit.  Available credit is subject to reduction determined by
  recalculation of the borrowing base and repayments arising from disposition of
  collateral.  As of December 31, 1995, the total availability under the Credit
  Facility had been effectively reduced due to recalculation of the borrowing
  base to approximately $3.4 million, which amount was fully drawn in the form
  of $1.3 million in borrowings and $2.1 million in letters of credit.  As of
  March 15, 1996, $2.0 million of additional borrowing capacity was available
  due to American's release of $2.0 million in letters of credit as described
  under Arrangements with American below;

 . A series of promotional fare ticket sale activities. Such promotional sales
  increase liquidity, but also increase air traffic liability, which could
  adversely affect yields and revenues, as well as liquidity, in future periods;
  and

 . Payment deferrals from existing creditors, including American.

AMERICAN DEFERRAL
- -----------------

On October 31, 1994, the Company failed to make certain payments due to American
pursuant to the Aircraft Lease Agreement pursuant to which American leases six
DC-10s to the Company. American sent the Company notice of the failure to make
rent and prepaid maintenance payments and noted that such failure constituted an
event of default under the Aircraft Lease Agreement, but did not declare the
Aircraft Lease Agreement in default or exercise any of the remedies available to
it, which include, but are not limited to, termination of the Aircraft Lease
Agreement, repossession of certain aircraft and engines, recovery of damages and
drawings under letters of 

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
credit then in place in the amount of $2.0 million posted by the Company as
required by the Aircraft Lease Agreement. The Company subsequently made the rent
and prepaid maintenance payments due American in November 1994.

On several occasions during 1995, the Company again failed to timely make
certain rent and prepaid maintenance payments in full due pursuant to the
Aircraft Lease Agreement.  Again, while American sent the Company notice of the
failure to make such payments in full, American did not declare the Aircraft
Lease Agreement in default or exercise any of the remedies available to it.  On
several occasions during the year, American deferred the payment of the
delinquent amounts.  As of December 9, 1995, the Company owed American $7.1
million in deferred payments and accrued interest.  American agreed to permit
the deferral of the payment of this $7.1 million (plus interest thereon) and the
periodic payments of lease rents and maintenance payments that would become due
on or after December 8, 1995, up to a maximum of an additional $2.9 million
(including interest), until the earlier of the consummation of the AIP
Investment or February 7, 1996.  As of January 4, 1996, the Company had deferred
the maximum deferrable amount of lease rents and maintenance payments under the
Aircraft Lease Agreement.  These deferred amounts were paid by the Company on
January 31, 1996 through the delivery by the Company of a secured promissory
note in connection with the AIP Investment as described below under Arrangements
with American.

AIP INVESTMENT
- --------------

For a variety of reasons, including the Company's financial results, its
inability to meet its current financial responsibilities, including its
obligations to American under the Aircraft Lease Agreement, thereby creating an
urgent need to obtain an infusion of capital, and the uncertain economic
outlook, the Board of Directors determined in 1995 to explore options to
supplement the Company's capital base, reduce its reliance on short-term bank
debt and promotional coupon sales and increase the Company's financial
flexibility.  The Company, with the assistance of its financial advisor,
identified and met with potential investors, including AIP, regarding a possible
equity investment in the Company.  As a result of such efforts, AIP agreed to
make the AIP Investment, in which AIP purchased 18,818,181 shares of the Class A
Common Stock and four shares of the Series B Special Preferred Stock for $20.0
million in cash.  The AIP Investment was unanimously approved by the Company's
Board of Directors in December 1995, approved by the Company's shareholders on
January 30, 1996 and consummated on January 31, 1996.

Of the $20.0 million gross proceeds from the AIP Investment, a portion has been
used to pay (1) approximately $2.8 million of fees and expenses associated with
the AIP Investment and its related transactions; (2)  approximately $3.2 million
of accrued landing fees for the Company's Hawaii operations and accrued rent on
the Company's facilities in Hawaii; and (3) approximately $310,000 of deferred
Board of Director compensation.  Although the Company has not designated
specific uses for the $13.7 million balance of the proceeds from the AIP
Investment, it is anticipated that such proceeds will be used to meet working
capital needs.

ARRANGEMENTS WITH AMERICAN
- --------------------------

Upon consummation of the AIP Investment and satisfaction of certain other
conditions, the Company entered into certain arrangements with American pursuant
to which American and the Company agreed to, among other things, the following:

 . The payment of $10.0 million of deferred lease rents and maintenance payments
  under the Aircraft Lease Agreement (and accrued interest thereon) and the
  reimbursement of American's fees and expenses in connection with the
  transaction through the issuance by the Company to American of a $10.25
  million promissory note secured by certain assets of the Company (the
  "American Note").  The American Note bears interest at 10.0% per annum,
  payable quarterly in arrears, and has a final maturity date of September 11,
  2001.  The American Note requires repayment of principal equal to one-sixth of
  the original principal amount on each anniversary of its date of issuance
  (January 31). The Company has the option to prepay the American Note for $9.15
  million at any time before January 31, 1997, or at any time thereafter, in
  whole or in part, at its remaining principal balance, without premium.  The
  American Note is prepayable in full, at the option of the holder, in the event
  and at the time that any person or group (other than AIP) acquires more than
  30.0% of the voting interest in the Company;

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
  The American Note is secured by a lien on substantially all of the personal
  property of the Company through December 31, 1997.  This lien is a first
  priority lien except that it is junior to (1) liens of security deposits held
  by credit card processors and (2) liens securing up to $15.0 million in
  obligations of the Company consisting of (x) secured obligations of the
  Company (other than credit card processor security deposit liens) existing on
  the date of issuance of the American Note, and (y) additional secured
  obligations of the Company incurred after such issuance.  As of January 31,
  1996, in addition to its credit card deposits, the Company had $7.6 million in
  secured obligations (including all amounts under the Credit Facility), the
  liens of which are prior to the lien of the American Note. On and after
  January 1, 1998, the Company is obligated to secure the American Note and the
  other obligations of the Company to American with a first priority lien on
  identified assets with a fair market value (supported by an appraisal) of at
  least 125.0% of the remaining outstanding principal balance of the American
  Note from time to time;

 . Basic rents under the Aircraft Lease Agreement have been reduced by
  approximately 28.0% for a period of three years, at which time basic rents
  would revert back to 1995 levels.  The Company has agreed to pay a minimum
  monthly charge for maintenance services and basic rents and maintenance
  charges are payable monthly in arrears rather than weekly in advance. American
  has the right to terminate its obligation to provide aircraft maintenance
  services on and after January 1, 1999 upon 180 days prior notice; and

 . American's relinquishment of $2.0 million of letters of credit which secured
  the Company's obligations to American under the Aircraft Lease Agreement.  The
  termination of these letters of credit increased the Company's borrowing
  capacity under the Credit Facility.

The arrangements with American have provided the Company with substantial
benefits.  The payment through the American Note of $10.0 million of deferred
rents and maintenance payments otherwise due on February 7, 1996 will
effectively permit the Company to make such payments in installments over the
period from January 1997 to September 2001, thereby freeing up working capital
for other purposes.  In addition, basic rents under the Aircraft Lease Agreement
have been reduced by approximately 28.0% for three years, resulting in lower
operating costs.  Furthermore, the release by American of the security deposit
letters of credit resulted in $2.0 million of borrowing capacity becoming
available to the Company under the Credit Facility.  In total, these
arrangements with American have further improved the Company's liquidity by
approximately $15.0 million and will result in the reduction of cash operating
expenses by approximately $3.0 million per year for three years.

UNIONS AND LABOR AGREEMENTS
- ---------------------------

Upon consummation of the AIP Investment and satisfaction of certain other
conditions, amendments to the labor agreements for each of the Company's labor
unions became effective.  The modifications to the labor agreements extend the
amendable date of all five contracts from February 28, 1997 to February 28,
2000.  Each of the five unions agreed to certain economic concessions, which
include cancellation of certain scheduled pay increases, with new pay increases
to be effective December 1, 1998 and January 1, 2000.  Management expects that
these concessions will reduce cash operating expenses which would have been
incurred by an aggregate amount of approximately $10.0 million during the two-
year period ending December 1997.  In exchange for the wage concessions, the
Company has agreed to negotiate gain-sharing programs to provide employees the
opportunity to receive wage rate increases resulting from work rule and
productivity modifications, which produce cost savings to the Company.  In
addition, the Company has agreed to establish a profit bonus plan, which would
provide all employees (other than senior management) with cash bonuses if the
Company achieves certain pre-tax profit targets.  The contracts as modified
provide additional furlough protection to employees under certain specified
circumstances.  The Company and unions also have agreed to include certain
additional low-cost or no-cost provisions that are specific to each of the
respective union contracts.  The estimated cash operating expense savings noted
above do not include estimated costs associated with these gain sharing and
profit bonus plan initiatives because management cannot presently determine the
amount of such costs.

RIGHTS OFFERING
- ---------------

The AIP Investment agreement requires AIP to use its best efforts to cause the
Company, as soon as practicable after the consummation of the AIP Investment, to
make a rights offering (the "Rights Offering") pursuant to which the Company
would offer to such persons as the Board of Directors shall determine at the
time of the Rights Offering (which would not initially include AIP (except
possibly with respect to Rights not exercised 

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
during the allotted time) but would include, among others, shareholders who hold
shares at the record date for the Rights Offering and holders of options granted
under the 1994 Stock Option Plan) rights to purchase shares of Class A Common
Stock (the "Rights"), during a 20-day period after the issuance of the Rights,
at a discount equal to at least 30.0% of the trading price of the Class A Common
Stock measured over a period of time to be designated by the Board of Directors
after the consummation of the AIP Investment and prior to the Rights Offering,
subject to a minimum exercise price of $1.10 per Right. Unexercised Rights would
be offered to certain employees, as provided in the modifications to the
collective bargaining agreements described below, and possibly to AIP. The other
terms and conditions of the Rights Offering, including the number of Rights to
be offered, the record date for the Rights Offering and whether the Rights would
be transferable, would be established by the Board of Directors at the time of
the Rights Offering. It is currently expected that Rights with respect to
approximately 10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock would be distributed,
subject to the Board's determination at the time. If Rights with respect to
10,000,000 shares were distributed and exercised in full, the Rights Offering
would produce gross proceeds to the Company of at least $11.0 million. The
timing of the Rights Offering can not be estimated at this time. The Rights
Offering would be made only by means of a separate prospectus constituting a
part of a registration statement to be filed by the Company with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

The Company has agreed with GPA Group plc and its affiliate AEROUSA, Inc. (the
"GPA Companies") that, if the closing of the Rights Offering shall have
occurred by September 30, 1996, the Company shall repurchase all of the shares
of Class A Common Stock owned by the GPA Companies and repay certain secured and
unsecured promissory notes held by the GPA Companies.  The stock repurchase
price would be $1.10 per share and the promissory notes would be repaid at
approximately 85.0% of the then carrying value of the notes, including any
deferred costs and other expenses owed.  Based on the number of shares owned by
the GPA Companies as of January 31, 1996 and the carrying value of the notes as
of such date, the Company would pay approximately $4.91 million to the GPA
Companies.  The Company has the option at any time prior to the Rights Offering
to repurchase the GPA Companies' shares and repay their notes on the above
terms.

AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK; WARRANTS AND OPTIONS
- ----------------------------------------------

In connection with the AIP Investment, the Amended Articles of Incorporation of
the Company, as amended were further amended to increase the authorized number
of shares of Class A Common Stock from 40,000,000 shares to 60,000,000 shares.
The increase in the number of authorized shares allows the Company to have a
sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to
permit the exercise of Rights under the Rights Offering and ensures that the
Company will have, from time to time, an adequate number of authorized and
unissued shares available for corporate purposes, such as future public and
private equity offerings, to raise working capital.

Pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Existing Warrants, upon the
consummation of the AIP Investment, the holders of the Existing Warrants
received warrants to purchase an additional 587,356 shares of Class A Common
Stock exercisable at $1.71 per share.  The holders of the Existing Warrants have
agreed that the anti-dilution provisions will not apply in connection with the
AMR Warrants and the Rights.

Options to acquire 592,500 shares of Class A Common Stock were granted in 1995
pursuant to the terms of the 1994 Stock Option Plan.  As a result of an
amendment to the 1994 Stock Option Plan in connection with the AIP Investment,
the option exercise period was extended to February 2, 2005.  The option
exercise price is $1.62 per share.  The aforementioned amendment to the 1994
Stock Option Plan resulted in a new measurement date for the awarded options and
approximately $782,000 of noncash compensation expense was recorded in January
1996.  To date, no options have been exercised.

In connection with the arrangements with American described above, the Company
issued to AMR the AMR Warrants, which entitle AMR to acquire up to 1,897,946
shares of the Class A Common Stock at $1.10 per share.  One-half of the AMR
Warrants are immediately exercisable but the balance will only be exercisable if
American and the Company enter into a code sharing agreement by January 1, 1997
regarding the placement of the two letter flight designator code for American's
flights on the Company's Interisland flights.  The AMR Warrants expire on
September 11, 2001.

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
Except for shares of Class A Common Stock that have been reserved in connection
with the Existing Warrants, the 1994 Stock Option Plan, the Reorganization Plan,
the AMR Warrants and the Rights Offering, the Company has no present agreements
or commitments to issue any additional shares of Class A Common Stock.

TAX AND NET OPERATING LOSS ("NOL") CONSIDERATIONS
- -------------------------------------------------

The Company believes that the transactions with respect to its equity following
its bankruptcy reorganization, including those pertaining to the AIP Investment,
issuance of the AMR Warrants, consummation of the Rights Offering, and possible
purchases or sales of its stock by significant shareholders or exercises of
options to acquire equity in the Company, has resulted in or has significantly
increased the likelihood of an "ownership change" of the Company for purposes of
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  An ownership change under Section 382
results in an annual limitation (the "Section 382 Limitation") on the amount of
pre-ownership change NOLs of the Company that can be used to offset the
Company's taxable income for periods following the ownership change.

Based on values used by the Company in preparing its 1994 federal income tax
return, the Company's Section 382 Limitation that generally applied to all NOLs
attributable to the period prior to the ownership change that resulted from the
Company's bankruptcy reorganization was approximately $2.4 million, plus certain
"built-in" income items that increase the Section 382 Limitation.  While the
Company anticipates that any ownership change resulting from the AIP Investment
and its related transactions would result in a new Section 382 Limitation which
is lower than the Section 382 Limitation in effect previously, the amount of
such reduction and its effect on the Company (as well as the effect on the
Company of subjecting NOLs incurred following the Company's bankruptcy
reorganization to the Section 382 Limitation) depend on numerous issues,
including but not limited to the value of the Company's equity at certain dates,
the amount and timing of future taxable income and loss, and the amount of
"built-in" income items of the Company.  Therefore, while the effect of an
ownership change resulting from the AIP Investment and its related transactions
could be to increase the future tax liabilities of the Company, the precise
effect of such an ownership change of the Company resulting from the AIP
Investment and its related transactions is unclear.

CURRENT STATUS
- --------------

The Company's capital resources have been increased substantially due to the AIP
Investment and the arrangements with American.  It is anticipated that the
combination of the Company's improved liquidity and reduced operating costs will
enable the Company to make necessary capital expenditures, take advantage of
prompt payment discounts, avoid the need to provide early payment incentives to
wholesalers and become less dependent on promotional fare ticket sales to the
traveling public, thereby further improving liquidity.

In addition, the Company is anticipating the consummation of the Rights Offering
and is currently negotiating to increase the capacity of the Credit Facility to
$15.0 million.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in
either of these efforts.  If the Company is unsuccessful, it will seek other
sources of financing.  However, because the Company has no remaining
unencumbered assets, its access to additional sources of liquidity remains
limited.  If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining additional sources of
liquidity, an adverse change in events and circumstances could result in the
Company being unable to meet its financial obligations after it exhausts its
current and foreseeable capital resources.

The financial statements at December 31, 1995, have been prepared on a going
concern basis which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets
and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary as a result of the outcome
of future uncertainties.  Management recognizes that the continuation of the
Company as a going concern is dependent upon a return to profitable, positive
cash flow operations and the generation of adequate funds to meet its ongoing
obligations.

                                  ------------

The Company understands that financial results of the Reorganized Company have
been affected due to the recapitalization and adoption of fresh start reporting
as of September 12, 1994 and such results are not comparable to the Predecessor.
Nevertheless, the operating revenues and expenses of the Reorganized Company in
1995 have been compared to the combined operating revenues and expenses of the
Reorganized Company and Predecessor in 1994.  Significant differences between
1995 and 1994 as a result of the recapitalization and fresh start adjustments
have been disclosed.

For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company incurred operating and net
losses of $1.9 million and $5.5 million, respectively. The 1995 operating loss
represents a decrease of $10.8 million or 85.0% from the operating loss of $12.7
million in 1994.

Operating revenues totaled $346.9 million in 1995 compared to $306.0 million in
1994, an increase of $40.9 million or 13.4%.

Revenues from Interisland passenger service totaled $122.1 million during 1995,
an increase of $2.3 million or 1.9% from 1994 Interisland passenger revenues of
$119.8 million.  Increases of 2.3% and 2.9% in Interisland passengers carried
and revenue passenger miles, respectively, were offset by a decrease in
Interisland yield of 0.3c or 1.2%.  Increases in Interisland revenue passengers
carried, revenue passenger miles and available seat miles were a direct result
of increased schedule frequencies due to operational concepts such as the Island
Shuttle operating for a full year in 1995 versus a partial year in 1994 and the
use of promotional fare ticket programs to stimulate traffic and increase
liquidity.  The promotional fare ticket programs, however, were also the primary
cause of dilution in the 1995 Interisland yield.

Revenues from Transpac passenger operations amounted to $156.2 million during
1995 compared to $142.1 million in 1994, an increase of $14.0 million or 9.9%.
The increase in Transpac passenger revenues resulted primarily from an increase
in Transpac load factor of 5.8%.  The increase in load factor was offset by a
0.2c or 3.1% decrease in Transpac yield year over year.  Transpac yields were
affected by heavy pricing competition in the Transpac market and similar to
above, the effects of promotional fare ticket programs.

<PAGE>
 
Southpac passenger revenues in 1995 totaled $19.3 million, representing an
increase of $982,000 or 5.4% from 1994.  Both Southpac load factor and yield
increased year over year by 7.6% and 4.7%, respectively.  The increase in yield
is primarily attributable to increases to all Southpac fares in late 1994.

Transpac cargo revenues increased by $1.9 million or 24.3% from 1994.  Increased
frequency in its Transpac routes allowed the Company to transport 5.1 or 48.4%
more tons of freight in 1995.  The increase in tonnage was offset by a decrease
in yield year over year of 5.9c or 16.3%.  The decrease in Transpac cargo yield
was primarily caused by a change in mix as the Company carried more agricultural
and bulk freight in 1995 versus 1994.

Overseas charter revenues of $22.2 million were earned in 1995 due to the
commencement of charter operations between Honolulu, Hawaii and Las Vegas,
Nevada in 1995.

Operating expenses totaled $348.8 million in 1995, an increase of $30.1 million
or 9.4% from total operating expenses of $318.7 million in 1994.

Wages and benefits increased $5.6 million or 5.5% in 1995.  The increase is
primarily attributed to  (1) $3.6 million of additional wages and benefits due
to 5.0% to 6.7%  wage increases effective September 1, 1994 and (2) $2.0 million
of noncash compensation expense recognized under the provisions of a 1994 Stock
Option Plan for officers and key employees of the Company.

Aircraft fuel, including taxes and oil, increased by $9.0 million or 19.0% from
$47.7 in 1994 to $56.7 million in 1995.  While average cost per gallon remained
relatively stable year over year at $0.61, the Company consumed 

                                       20
<PAGE>
 
14.0 million or 17.9% more gallons in 1995 than 1994, primarily due to increased
frequencies on the Company's Interisland and Transpac routes.

Maintenance materials and repairs totaled $60.5 million in 1995 an increase of
$14.0 million or 30.1% over 1994.  The Company incurred approximately $9.8
million less in L-1011 and DHC-7 maintenance costs in 1995 as these aircraft
were phased out during 1994.  However, $23.8 million of additional maintenance
was incurred in 1995 for the Company's DC-10-10 and DC-9-50 fleets.

Aircraft rentals decreased by $7.5 million or 31.2% year over year.  The
decrease was a net result of (1) $7.7 million less in DHC-7 and L-1011 aircraft
rents, again as these aircraft were phased out during 1994; (2) $4.2 million
less in DC-9-50 aircraft and engine rents due to such rents being restructured
on the Effective Date; and (3) $4.4 million more in rents for DC-10-10 aircraft.

Sales commissions totaled $13.9 million in 1995, an increase of $1.1 million or
8.6% over total sales commissions of $12.8 million in 1994.  The increase is
primarily attributable to $1.0 million in additional commissions related to
incentive programs offered to wholesalers designed to stimulate traffic.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.1 million or 15.6%.  An additional
$2.5 million of amortization of reorganization value in excess of identifiable
assets in 1995 was offset by $1.7 million less in depreciation from the
reclassification of approximately $13.5 million of Property and equipment to
Assets held for sale on the Effective Date.

Landing fees increased by $1.4 million or 20.7% to $8.2 million in 1995.  The
increase was principally caused by increased frequencies in the Interisland and
Transpac markets, specifically Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Portland.

Advertising and promotion totaled $8.3 million in 1995, an increase of $3.4
million or 69.1% over 1994, a direct result of efforts to increase the Company's
exposure in the Interisland and West Coast markets through advertising and
telecommunications media.

Other operating expenses in 1995 were reduced by the reversal of $1.8 million in
preconfirmation contingency accruals initially provided for on the Effective
Date.

Early retirement provision of $2.0 million represents the estimated effects on
the Company's pension and postretirement benefit obligations from the early
retirement program offered in the first quarter of 1995.

                         NONOPERATING INCOME (EXPENSE)
                         -----------------------------

Reorganization expenses in 1994 totaled $14.0 million and principally represents
$5.7 million and $7.6 million in legal and professional fees and employee
concession claims, respectively, associated with the Predecessor's Chapter 11
process and $638,000 in fresh start adjustments recorded on the Effective Date
in accordance with SOP 90-7.

                              EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS
                              -------------------

An extraordinary gain of approximately $190.1 million was recorded in the third
quarter of 1994 primarily due to the extinguishment of prepetition obligations.

                         NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
                         -----------------------------

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (the "SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of."  This Statement is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995
and applies to long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets
whether held and used or to be disposed of, and goodwill.

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
SFAS No. 121 requires that a review be made of long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangible assets to be held and used for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable.  If the future cash flows expected to result from use of
the asset (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying
amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.  Such impairment loss is
measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset.  In instances where goodwill is identified with assets
that are subject to an impairment loss, such goodwill should be allocated to the
assets tested for recoverability on a pro rata basis using the relative fair
values of the assets acquired in the transaction generating the goodwill.

SFAS No. 121 also requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangible assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the asset
carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.

The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 121 in 1996.  Restatement of previously
issued financial statements is not permitted.  The Company does not believe that
adoption of SFAS No. 121 will have a material impact on its financial condition
or results of operations.

In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."  SFAS No. 123 establishes a new, fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based compensation, but does not require an entity to adopt
the new method for purposes of preparing its basic financial statements.  For
entities not adopting the new method, SFAS No. 123 requires footnote disclosure
of pro forma net income and earnings per share information as if the fair value
based method had been adopted.  The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 are
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995.  The Company will comply with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123
in its 1996 financial statements.

                             ---------------------

                                  INTRODUCTION
                                  ------------

The Company believes that its operating revenues and expenses after the
Effective Date have been presented on a basis which is in all material respects
consistent with the presentation of operating revenues and expenses before the
Effective Date.  Therefore, operating revenues and expenses of the Reorganized
Company and the Predecessor in 1994 have been combined for purposes of
comparison to 1993.

Excluding nonrecurring items, the Company's operating and net losses for 1994
decreased over 1993 by $12.1 million and $16.0 million, respectively, to $12.7
million and $12.9 million, respectively.

- -------------------
* In thousands

Operating revenues totaled $306.0 million in 1994 compared to $304.1 million in
1993, an increase of $1.9 million or 0.6%.

Revenues from Interisland passenger service totaled $119.8 million during 1994,
an increase of $1.2 million or 1.0% from 1993 Interisland passenger revenues of
$118.5 million.  Increases of 7.5% and 8.4% in Interisland passengers carried
and revenue passenger miles, respectively, were offset by a decrease in
Interisland yield of 1.8c or 6.7%.  Increases in revenue passengers carried,
revenue passenger miles and available seat miles were a direct result of (1) the
utilization of 13 DC-9-50 aircraft during a majority of 1994 versus four DHC-7
and, on average nine DC-9-50 aircraft in 1993; and (2) increased passenger
counts due to the overall increase in Hawaii tourism year over year and, newly
implemented operational concepts such as the Island Shuttle to Maui and Kauai
and promotional fare ticket programs.  However, the promotional fare ticket
programs, such as those held in the second and fourth quarters of 1994, were
also the primary cause of dilution in the 1994 Interisland yield.

Revenues from Transpac passenger operations amounted to $142.1 million during
1994 compared to $136.5 million in 1993, an increase of $5.6 million or 4.1%.
The increase in Transpac passenger revenues resulted primarily from a 0.4c or
6.7% increase in Transpac yield year over year.  The increase in yield was
offset by decreases in revenue passengers carried and revenue passenger miles of
0.6% and 1.2%, respectively.  As noted above, promotional fare ticket programs
were held in 1994, with a portion of such promotional fare ticket programs
associated with Transpac routes.  Such allocations assisted in increasing
Transpac yields in 1994 as no such allocations were made in 1993. Decreases in
Transpac revenue passengers carried, revenue passenger miles flown and available
seat miles  were a direct result of the Company completing in 1994 its
transition to an all DC-10-10 aircraft fleet from an all L-1011 fleet.  In their
current configuration, at full load, the DC-10-10 on average accommodates 35
less passengers than the L-1011.

                                       24
<PAGE>
 
Southpac passenger revenues in 1994 remained comparable to 1993 at $18.3
million. While period over period revenue passengers carried and revenue
passenger miles decreased by 1.5% and 0.6%, respectively, Southpac yield
increased by 0.1c or 1.0%.  Again, decreases in Southpac revenue passengers
carried, revenue passenger miles flown and available seat miles may be
attributed to the transition to an all DC-10-10 aircraft fleet in 1994.
Southpac yields increased due to the downsized operations of a competitor in the
Southpac market in 1994.

Transpac cargo revenues increased by $1.6 million or 26.2% from 1993.  Increased
frequency in its Transpac routes allowed the Company to transport 5.4 million or
34.3% more pounds of freight in 1994.  The increase in tonnage was offset by a
decrease in yield year over year of 2.5c or 6.4%.

Overseas charter revenues decreased by $5.5 million or 88.7% upon comparison of
1994 to 1993.  A majority of the decrease is associated with the Predecessor
obtaining in 1993 a $3.9 million settlement from the Military Airlift Command
for charter operations during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1991
and 1990.

</TABLE> 

Operating expenses totaled $318.7 million in 1994, a decrease of $10.2 million
or 3.1% from total operating expenses of $328.9 million in 1993.

Wages and benefits increased $1.4 million or 1.4% in 1994.  The increase is
primarily attributed to 5.0% to 6.7%  wage increases effective September 1,
1994.

Aircraft fuel, including taxes and oil decreased by $2.1 million or 4.2% from
$49.8 in 1993 to $47.7 million in 1994.  In addition to a $0.05 or 8.2% decrease
in average cost per gallon year over year, the Company incurred approximately

DC-8 aircraft in 1993.

Maintenance materials and repairs totaled $46.5 million in 1994 an increase of
$5.6 million or 13.7% over 1993. On a net basis, the Company incurred
approximately $5.1 million in additional maintenance expense from the DC-10-10
aircraft transitioned in 1994.

Aircraft rentals decreased by $5.4 million or 18.3%, of which $4.1 million
represents decreased rents due to DC-9-50 aircraft operating under capital
versus operating leases in 1994 and other DC-9-50 aircraft operating lease rents
being restructured on the Effective Date.  Approximately $1.3 million of the
decrease is attributable to decreased rents associated with phased out L-1011,
DHC-7 and DC-8 aircraft in 1994 and 1993.

Purchased services increased $2.1 million or 11.8%, to $19.9 million in 1994
from $17.8 million in 1993.  The Company incurred an additional $1.6 million in
costs in 1994 associated with simulator training, operation of its flight
operating system, credit card fees and outsourced computer mainframe services.

Sales commissions totaled $12.8 million in 1994, an increase of $1.6 million or
14.3% over total sales commissions of $11.2 million in 1993.  The increase is
primarily attributable to an 18.0% increase in commissionable sales processed
through area settlement plans.

Rentals other than aircraft and engines totaled $9.6 million in 1994 versus $7.3
million in 1993.  The $2.3 million or 31.5% increase is due to increased space
rental rates and additional joint use and system support expenses charged
primarily by the State of Hawaii airport authorities.

Landing fees increased by $2.0 million or 41.6% to $6.8 million in 1994.
Increases associated with DC-9-50 aircraft landings and wide-body aircraft
landings of $1.4 million and $900,000, respectively, were experienced in 1994.
Such increases were due to (1) increased landing fee rates in Hawaii and Los
Angeles, California and (2) increased frequency due to implementation of the
Island Shuttle, schedule changes to Los Angeles, California and Las Vegas,
Nevada and commencement of scheduled service to Portland, Oregon.

Advertising and promotion totaled $4.9 million in 1994, an increase of $1.8
million or 58.1% over 1993.  Approximately $900,000 is due to a conscious effort
by management to increase the Company's exposure through advertising and
promotional media, especially on the U.S. West Coast.  Another $200,000 of
additional expenses were incurred in connection with the Company's participation
in American's frequent flyer program.

Insurance-hull and liability increased from $2.1 million in 1993 to $3.4 million
in 1994.  The $1.3 million or 61.9% increase was mainly due to an 84.2% increase
in the applicable premium rate for liability applied to the Company's revenue
passenger miles in 1994.

Interrupted trip expense decreased by $2.0 million or 49.9% year over year. The
Company experienced $1.8 million less in flight interruption manifest and denied
boarding expenses due to its continual efforts to improve customer service and
on-time performance.

Nonreorganization professional and legal fees decreased $2.2 million period over
period due to a majority of professional and legal fees being classified, in
accordance with the provisions of SOP 90-7 as reorganization expenses during the
year 1994.

Restructuring charges in 1993 represent the Predecessor's provision for the
anticipated return and termination of five of its DC-9-50 aircraft in the second
quarter of 1993.

                         -----------------------------

Reorganization expenses in 1993 of $52.6 million primarily consists of $47.1

million for the write-off of related flight equipment leasehold improvements and
$800,000 in legal and professional fees.

The $12.1 million extraordinary item in 1993 represents a one-time non-monetary
gain due to the reduction in the net accrued pension benefit obligation of the

          HAWAIIAN AIRLINES, INC. PENSION PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES
          -----------------------------------------------------------

The Company has several retirement plans covering a substantial number of
its employees.  The Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. Pension Plan for Salaried Employees
(the "Salaried Plan") covers those directors and officers who are employees of
the Company hired prior to September 1, 1992.  Effective October 1, 1993, the
Salaried Plan was frozen.  The Salaried Plan continued after the Effective Date
of the Plan of Reorganization, but credited service is not recognized after
September 1993 and the 1994 calendar year compensation is not taken into
account.

Benefits paid under the Salaried Plan are primarily determined by the number
of years the employee participated in the Salaried Plan through October 1, 1993
and the employee's average compensation for the five consecutive calendar years
through 1993 that results in the highest average.  For purposes of the Salaried
Plan, compensation includes only base compensation; overtime, bonuses and other
forms of compensation are not included.

The following table shows the annual amounts payable in the form of a single
life annuity commencing at age 65 under the current provisions of the Salaried
Plan, without regard to any survivor options, based on assumed earnings for
various years of participation, as indicated.  The benefits shown in the table
are not subject to a deduction for Social Security payments.

1    Pursuant to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, effective January 1,
     1994, no more than $150,000 (as adjusted from time to time by the Internal
     Revenue Service) of compensation may be taken into consideration in
     calculating benefits payable under the Salaried Plan.

The years of credited service as of October 1, 1993 and the 1995 calendar
year compensation covered by the Salaried Plan for Messrs. Forster and Lyman
are 2.58 years and $0 and 7.17 years and $0, respectively.  Compensation earned
in the 1995 calendar year is not taken into account when calculating final
average earnings under the Salaried Plan because the Salaried Plan was frozen
as of October 1, 1993.  Messrs. Nobles, Davies and Jenkins are not eligible to
participate under the Salaried Plan.

                           COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
                           -------------------------

For the portion of 1994 prior to the Effective Date of the Reorganization
Plan, the directors of the Company received no compensation for their service
as directors.  From and after the Effective Date, all outside directors of the
Company are entitled to receive a retainer fee of $12,000 per year, an
attendance fee of $1,250 for each meeting of the Board of Directors and an
attendance fee of $500 for each committee meeting (collectively, "Directors'
Fees").  The Company provides travel from the mainland to Hawaii for Board of
Directors meetings, as well as one night hotel and ground transportation as
needed.  For their service as directors of the Company from the Effective Date
through December 31, 1994, the outside Directors earned a $4,000 retainer fee,
except for former director Mr. David Urrea who, pursuant to his wishes, only
accepted reimbursement for expenses incurred in attending meetings.  For their
service as directors of the Company for fiscal year 1995, the outside directors
earned a $12,000 retainer fee, except for Mr. Urrea who, pursuant to his
wishes, is only accepting reimbursement for expenses incurred in attending
meetings.  Mr. Nobles does not receive Directors' Fees.  In February 1995, the
Board of Directors resolved to defer payment of their Directors' Fees until
January 1996.  In December 1995, the Board of Directors decided to further
defer the directors' fees earned in 1994 and 1995 until consummation of the
Investment.  Thus, Directors' Fees earned by the directors in 1994 and 1995
were paid by March 1996.

(1)  The address of each of the executive officers and directors is 3375 
     Koapaka Street, Suite G-350, Honolulu, Hawaii 96819.

(2)  Each executive officer and director has sole voting and investment power
     with respect to the shares listed after his or her name except for shares
     issued to the Hawaiian ESOP, as defined below, and the Company's Pilots'
     401(k) Plan or as otherwise indicated below. The shares owned by each
     person, or by the group, and the shares included in the total number of
     shares outstanding have been adjusted, and the percentage owned (where the
     percentage exceeds 1%) have been computed in accordance with Rule 13d-
     3(d)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Shares of
     the Company's Class A Common Stock allocated to participants' accounts in
     the Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. Employee Stock Plan (the "Hawaiian ESOP") are
     voted by the Trustee, First Hawaiian Bank, pursuant to written directions
     of the participants on matters presented at meetings of shareholders;
     shares with respect to which no participant directions are received are
     voted according to the direction of the majority of number of shares for
     which the Trustee received written directions; and unallocated shares are
     voted by fiduciaries designated under the Hawaiian ESOP. Shares of the
     Company's Class A Common Stock allocated to participants' accounts in the
     Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. Pilots' 401(k) Plan (the "Pilots' 401(k) Plan") are
     voted by the Trustee, Vanguard Group, Inc., pursuant to written directions
     of the participants on matters presented at meetings of shareholders;
     shares with respect to which no participant directions are received are
     voted according to the direction of the majority of number of shares for
     which the Trustee received written directions; and unallocated shares are
     voted by fiduciaries designated under the 401(k) Plan.

(3)  The shares reported as owned by Airline Investors Partnership, L.P., of
     which AIP General Partner, Inc. is its general partner and John W. Adams is
     AIP General Partner, Inc.'s sole shareholder, include the shares reported
     as beneficially owned by AIP General Partner, Inc. and John W. Adams.
     According to their Schedule 13D dated January 31, 1996, Airline Investors
     Partnership, L.P., AIP General Partner, Inc. and John W. Adams exercise
     sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all 18,181,818 shares.

(4)  Consists entirely of Mr. Morella's account in the Pilots' 401(k) Plan.  The
     number of shares reported represents the equivalent number of shares held
     through the Pilots' 401(k) Plan. The investment is tracked using a unit
     value accounting method, similar to a mutual fund. To determine the
     equivalent number of whole shares represented by the fund units, the market

                              CHANGES IN CONTROL
                              ------------------

Pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws, AIP has the right to
nominate six nominees to the Board of Directors for election to the Board of
Directors so long as it owns 35% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully
diluted basis.  AIP's right to nominate directors will be reduced to five so
long as it retains 25% of such Common Stock, reduced to four so long as it
retains 10% of such Common Stock, and reduced to three so long as it retains 5%
of such Common Stock.  Thereafter, AIP will not have the right to nominate any
individuals to the Board unless it reacquires at least 5% of such Common Stock
within 365 days.  To the extent Board members are not required to be nominated
by AIP because of the reductions in its stock holdings, such Board members are
to be outside directors.
 
In connection with the Investment, the Company also modified its collective
bargaining agreements with its principal labor unions.  Each of the Association
of Flight Attendants ("AFA"), the International Association of Machinists and
Aerospace Workers (AFL-CIO) ("IAM") and the Air Line Pilots Association
International ("ALPA") received one share of Series C Special Preferred Stock,
Series D Special Preferred Stock and Series E Special Preferred Stock,
respectively, which gives each of AFA, IAM and ALPA the right to nominate to
the Board of Directors one nominee for election to the Board.  Of the two other
remaining directors, one is required to be an outside director, defined as one
who is not employed by the Company and is not affiliated with the Company's
labor unions, AIP or American Airlines, Inc., and one is required to be a
senior management official of the Company.

AIP has agreed with each of the labor unions that so long as the right to
have a representative on the Board is in the labor union's collective
bargaining agreement, AIP will vote its shares in favor of such union's nominee
for the Board of Directors.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors,
Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of operations, 
shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 
1995, the period September 12, 1994 through December 31, 1994, the period 
January 1, 1994 through September 11, 1994, and the year ended December 31, 
1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's 
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. as of 
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash 
flows for the year ended December 31, 1995, the period September 12, 1994 
through December 31, 1994, the period January 1, 1994 through September 11, 
1994, and the year ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements, on September 12, 
1994, Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. emerged from bankruptcy. The financial statements 
of the Reorganized Company reflect the impact of adjustments to reflect the fair
value of assets and liabilities under fresh start reporting. As a result, the 
financial statements of the Reorganized Company are presented on a different 
basis than those of the Predecessor Company and, therefore, are not comparable 
in all respects.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Hawaiian 
Airlines, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 16 to the 
financial statements, the Company's recurring losses from operations, deficit 
working capital and its limited sources of additional liquidity raise 
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are also described in note 16. The financial 
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

HAWAIIAN AIRLINES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. was incorporated in January 1929 under the laws of the
Territory of Hawaii and maintains its principal offices in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Based on operating revenues, Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. is the largest airline
headquartered in Hawaii and is engaged primarily in the scheduled transportation
of passengers, cargo and mail over a route system which services the six major
islands of the State of Hawaii, several cities primarily in the U.S. West Coast
region and certain destinations in the South Pacific.

The Company's passenger airline business is its chief source of revenue.
Scheduled passenger service consists of, on average, approximately 150 flights
per day among the six major islands of the State of Hawaii ("Interisland"),
daily service to four U.S. West Coast cities and Las Vegas ("Transpac"), and two
flights per week to Pago Pago, American Samoa and one flight per week to
Papeete, Tahiti in the South Pacific ("Southpac").  The Company also provides
charter service to Las Vegas.

On September 21, 1993, Hawaiian Airlines together with HAL, INC., Hawaiian
Airlines' parent company, and West Maui Airport, Inc., another wholly owned
subsidiary of HAL, INC. (collectively the "Predecessor"), commenced
reorganization cases by filing voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11,
Title 11 of the United States Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Hawaii. Concurrently therewith, the Debtors filed a Consolidated Plan of
Reorganization dated September 21, 1993 (as amended through the most recent
amendment dated April 20, 1995, the "Reorganization Plan").  The Company emerged
from the Chapter 11 process less than a year later with the Reorganization Plan
becoming effective on September 12, 1994 (the "Effective Date"). The Chapter 11
process resulted in the Company recognizing an extraordinary gain of $190.1
million, representing the relief of $204.7 million of liabilities net of offsets
and certain liabilities that survived the reorganization.  Further, pursuant to
the Reorganization Plan, on the Effective Date, first West Maui Airport, Inc.
and then HAL, INC. were merged with and into Hawaiian Airlines with Hawaiian
Airlines being the sole surviving corporation.  Upon the effectiveness of the
mergers, all of the outstanding equity securities of the Company, HAL, INC., and
West Maui Airport, Inc. were canceled.

Under the Plan, the Company will issue and distribute approximately 9,400,000
shares of its common stock to all of the unsecured creditors with claims allowed
under the Plan.  At December 31, 1995, the Company's common stock consisted of
two classes, one with full voting rights, Class A Common Stock, and the other
with limited voting rights, Class B Common Stock.  On June 19, 1995, the Company
commenced distribution of its Class A and Class B Common Stock and as of
December 31, 1995, 6,845,105 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,894,955 shares
of Class B Common Stock were issued and outstanding.  The Company anticipates
issuing 636,247 shares of Class A Common Stock under the Plan by late 1996 in
satisfaction of disputed claims outstanding as of December 31, 1995.  Any shares
withheld in excess of the amount distributed to the holders of such claims will
be held until all disputed claims have been resolved.  The disputed claims
consist of an aggregate $534,000 for alleged prepetition violations and various
other claims asserted by various governmental agencies and $5.2 million for
damages arising from the return of aircraft asserted by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, as receiver. Upon resolution of all disputed claims,
there will be a final distribution of any remaining withheld shares to all
general unsecured creditors on a pro rata basis.

Following the consummation of the AIP Investment, as defined below, each share
of the Class B Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reorganization Plan was
converted into one share of Class A Common Stock.

Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Company (1) granted warrants to
purchase an additional 989,011 shares of its Class A Common Stock (the "Existing
Warrants"), none of which have been exercised, and (2) reserved 600,000 shares
of the Class A Common Stock for issuance to certain employees under the
Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan, as amended.  The Class A Common Stock began
trading on the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX") and the Pacific Stock
Exchange on June 21, 1995.

In February 1995, the Company's Board of Directors began to explore options to
supplement the Company's capital base, reduce its reliance on short-term bank
debt and promotional coupon sales and increase the Company's financial
flexibility.  The Company, with the assistance of its outside financial advisor,
identified and met with potential investors, including Airline Investors
Partnership, L.P. ("AIP"), regarding a possible equity 

                                      F-8

investment in the Company. AIP ultimately agreed to make a $20.0 million cash
investment in the Company through the purchase of 18,181,818 shares of Class A
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and four shares of the Company's Series
B Special Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "AIP Investment"). On
January 31, 1996, the AIP Investment and a series of related transactions, which
were dependent and effective upon one another, were consummated. Among other
things, the related transactions included:

 .  Certain agreements and arrangements with American Airlines, Inc.
   ("American"), including amendment to the long-term aircraft lease agreement
   pursuant to which American leases DC-10-10 aircraft to the Company, (the
   "Aircraft Lease Agreement"), which provide for, among other things, the
   making of $10.0 million of previously deferred rent and maintenance payments
   and interest thereon with a secured promissory note, rent reduction and the
   release of a $2.0 million security deposit in the form of a letter of credit.
   In addition, the Company issued to AMR Corporation, American's parent company
   ("AMR"), Warrants (the "AMR Warrants") to acquire up to 1,897,946 shares of
   the Class A Common Stock at $1.10 per share. One-half of the AMR Warrants are
   immediately exercisable but the balance will only be exercisable if American
   and the Company enter into a code sharing agreement by January 1, 1997
   regarding the placement of the two letter flight designator code for
   American's flights on the Company's Interisland flights. The AMR Warrants
   expire on September 11, 2001; and

 .  Agreements with each of the Company's labor unions regarding certain
   modifications to their respective collective bargaining unit agreements.
   These modifications include certain wage concessions, which will generate
   significant annual cost savings to the Company.

2.  FRESH START REPORTING

The fresh start reporting  common equity value of approximately $40.0 million
was determined by the Reorganized Company's management and was calculated by
employing a methodology based on a multiple of earnings before interest and
taxes. Analyses of publicly available information of other companies believed to
be comparable to the Reorganized Company were used in determining a multiple
which was then applied to financial projections of the Reorganized Company.
Management's estimate of common equity value considered a number of factors
including relevant industry and economic conditions, expected future
performance, and the amount of available cash and current market conditions.
Under fresh start reporting, the reorganization value of the entity was
allocated to the Reorganized Company's assets and liabilities on a basis
substantially consistent with the purchase method of accounting.  The portion of
reorganization value not attributable to specific tangible or identifiable
intangible assets of the Reorganized Company is reflected as "Reorganization
value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets" in the accompanying
balance sheets.

The effects of the Plan and fresh start reporting in accordance with the
provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement
of Position (the "SOP") 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization
Under the Bankruptcy Code" on the Reorganized Company's balance sheet as of the
Effective Date are as follows, in thousands:

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ---------------------

The Company's financial statements, up to and including the Effective Date,
included herein have been prepared in accordance with SOP 90-7.  For accounting
purposes, the Effective Date of the Plan and inception date for the Reorganized
Company is deemed to be September 12, 1994. Under fresh start reporting, the
reorganization value of the entity has been allocated to the Reorganized
Company's assets and liabilities on a basis substantially consistent with the
purchase method of accounting.  The portion of reorganization value not
attributable to specific tangible or identifiable intangible assets of the
Company is reflected as "Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to
identifiable assets" in the accompanying balance sheets.

Because of the application of fresh start reporting, the financial statements
for periods after reorganization are not comparable to the financial statements
for periods prior to the reorganization.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
- -------------------------

The Company considers all investments purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Short-term cash investments at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 were valued at cost and amounted to $2.5 and $2.6
million, respectively.

INVENTORIES
- -----------

Inventories consisting of flight equipment expendable parts and supplies are
stated at average cost, less an allowance for obsolescence.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
- --------------------

Assets held for sale consisting of expendable inventory parts and rotable flight
equipment are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.  As
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had approximately $9.7 million and
$13.4 million, respectively, of expendable inventory parts and rotable flight
equipment held for sale internally or on a consignment basis with a third party.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
- ----------------------

Owned property and equipment are stated at cost.  Costs of major improvements
are capitalized.  Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line
basis over the following estimated useful lives:

  Flight equipment...............    12-15 years, 15% residual value
  Ground equipment...............    5-15 years
  Airport terminal facility......    30 years
  Buildings......................    15-20 years
  Leasehold improvements.........    Shorter of lease term or useful life

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, except that (1)
costs of overhauling engines are charged to operations in the year the engines
are removed for overhaul and (2) scheduled heavy airframe overhauls on DC-9-50
aircraft are recorded under the deferral method whereby the cost of overhaul is
capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the period benefited or the lease
term.  Additionally, provision is made for the estimated cost of scheduled heavy
airframe overhauls required to be performed on leased DC-9-50 aircraft prior to
their return to lessors.  Maintenance and repairs on DC-10-10 aircraft are
charged to operations on a flight hour basis.

                                      F-12
<PAGE>
 
REORGANIZATION VALUE IN EXCESS OF AMOUNTS ALLOCABLE TO IDENTIFIABLE ASSETS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets is
amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.  Accumulated amortization at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 totaled approximately $4.7 and $1.1 million,
respectively.  The Company will continue to assess and evaluate whether the
remaining useful life of the asset requires revision or, through the use of
estimated future undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the asset,
whether the remaining balance of the asset may not be recoverable.  The
assessment of the recoverability of the unamortized amount will be impacted if
estimated future operating cash flows are not achieved.

OTHER ASSETS
- ------------

Material preoperating costs associated with the introduction of new flight
equipment are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease
period or five years.

ACCRUED VACATION LIABILITY
- --------------------------

Accrued vacation in excess of the amount expected to be taken by employees
during the following year are classified as a noncurrent liability.

FREQUENT FLYER AWARDS
- ---------------------

A liability for frequent flyer awards is recognized on the incremental cost
basis in the period during which passengers have accumulated sufficient mileage
for award redemption.  Incremental costs primarily include fuel and catering.

PASSENGER  REVENUES
- -------------------

Passenger fares are recorded as operating revenues when the transportation is
provided.  The value of unused passenger tickets is included as Air traffic
liability.

INCOME TAXES
- ------------

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
- -----------------------

Income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common stock
shares and, if dilutive, common stock equivalents outstanding during each year.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -----------------------------------------------------------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
relate to the determination of Air traffic liability and the amounts reported
for Accumulated pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. 

                                      F-13
<PAGE>
 
Management believes that such estimates have been appropriately established in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.


NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- -----------------------------

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (the "SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of."  This Statement is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995
and applies to long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets
whether held and used or to be disposed of, and goodwill.

SFAS No. 121 requires that a review be made of long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangible assets to be held and used for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable.  If the future cash flows expected to result from use of
the asset (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying
amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.  Such impairment loss is
measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset.  In instances where goodwill is identified with assets
that are subject to an impairment loss, such goodwill should be allocated to the
assets tested for recoverability on a pro rata basis using the relative fair
values of the assets acquired in the transaction generating the goodwill.

SFAS No. 121 also requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangible assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the asset
carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.

The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 121 in 1996.  Restatement of previously
issued financial statements is not permitted.   The Company does not believe
that adoption of SFAS No. 121 will have a material impact on its financial
condition or results of operations.

In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."  SFAS No. 123 establishes a new, fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based compensation, but does not require an entity to adopt
the new method for purposes of preparing its basic financial statements.  For
entities not adopting the new method, SFAS No. 123 requires footnote disclosure
of pro forma net income and earnings per share information as if the fair value
based method had been adopted.  The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 are
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995.  The Company will comply with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123
in its 1996 financial statements.

4.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
    -----------------------------------

The carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, Lease
security and other deposits, Accounts payable, Other accrued liabilities,
Accrued vacation liability and Accrued salaries and wages approximate fair value
due to the short maturity of those instruments.

The estimated fair values of Long-term debt amounted to $11.4 million and $20.5
million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and Capital lease
obligations amounted to $12.2 million and $14.9 million at December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively. These fair values were estimated by discounting the future
cash flow requirements of each instrument at rates currently offered at the
respective year-end dates to the Company for similar debt and lease instruments
of comparable maturities.

In addition to scheduled future minimum lease payments, the Company is required
to pay for, under agreement with American, monthly DC-10-10 maintenance charges.
These charges are based on estimated flight hours for the month and are expensed
as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company
incurred $37.6 million and $8.9 million, respectively, in maintenance charges
under such agreement.

Commencing October 1994 and throughout 1995, the Company was delinquent in
making certain payments due American under the Aircraft Lease Agreement.  As of
December 31, 1995, the Company was delinquent on scheduled payments amounting to
approximately $9.7 million under this lease arrangement.  Although American
notified the Company that the failure to make these certain rent and prepaid
maintenance payments constituted an event of default under the lease agreement,
it did not declare the lease agreement in default or exercise any remedies
available to it.  Certain additional payments were made by the Company to
American and amendments to the Aircraft Lease Agreement providing for deferrals
of payment of any remaining delinquent amounts owed by the Company over
scheduled dates were effected throughout 1995. Effective January 31, 1996, the
Company and American agreed to terms for the satisfaction of these delinquent
amounts.  In addition, effective January 31, 1996, the Company and American
agreed to a reduction in basic rents due on DC-10-10 operating leases.  The
above schedule of future minimum lease commitments does not reflect such
reduction.  See Notes 12 and 16.

The net book value of property held under capital leases as of December 31, 1995
and 1994 totaled $15.5 million and $17.3 million, respectively.

million secured revolving line of credit including up to $3.0 million of letters
of credit.  Borrowings under the revolving line of credit have been recorded net
of discount representing the fair value of the Existing Warrants as discussed in
Note 11.  Available credit is subject to reduction determined by recalculation
of the borrowing base and repayments arising from disposition of collateral.  As
of December 31, 1995, the total availability under the Credit Facility amounted
to approximately $3.4 million, which amount was fully drawn in the form of $1.3
million in borrowings and $2.1 million in letters of credit.  At December 31,
1994, $4.1 million and $2.1 million of borrowings and letters of credit,
respectively, were outstanding.  As of March 15, 1996, $2.0 million of

8.      REORGANIZATION AND NONRECURRING OPERATING ITEMS

Operating expenses in 1995 were reduced by the reversal of $1.8 million in
preconfirmation contingency accruals initially provided for on the Effective
Date.

The following reorganization and other items associated with the bankruptcy
proceeding were incurred by the Predecessor during the period from January 1,
1994 to September 11, 1994, in thousands:

</TABLE> 


In 1993, the Predecessor entered into new collective bargaining agreements with
the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (AFL-CIO")
("IAM"), the Air Line Pilots Association, International ("ALPA"), Association of
Flight Attendants ("AFA") and Transport Workers Union ("TWU") and made certain
changes to the compensation and benefits of salaried employees. These new
agreements contemplated that employees would have claims relating to ratified
concessions which would be satisfied through the issuance of the new Common
Stock of the Reorganized Company.  A charge of $7.6 million in 1994 was included
as a reorganization item in satisfaction of these claims.

During 1993, the Predecessor returned or terminated the respective leases under
five of its DC-9-50 aircraft.  As a result, the Company provided for $14.0
million in anticipated aircraft rental and return costs.  In accordance with SOP
90-7, the Predecessor classified reorganization and other costs associated with
the bankruptcy proceeding as nonoperating reorganization expenses.  The balance
for the period from September 22, 1993 through December 31, 1993 includes the
following, in thousands:

Charter revenues in 1993 include $3.9 million received from the Military Airlift
Command in May 1993 following a settlement with the Predecessor on its claim for
additional compensation for charter operations during Operations Desert Shield
and Desert Storm in 1991 and 1990.

9.  INCOME TAXES

As a result of net operating losses ("NOLs") in the current year and NOLs
carried forward from prior years, the Company and the Predecessor were not
required to provide for federal and state income taxes for 1995, 1994 and 1993.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of the Company's deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December
31, 1995 and 1994 are presented below, in thousands:

</TABLE>

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of January 1, 1995 and 1994
was $47.1 million and $66.4 million, respectively.  The net change in the total
valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 was a
decrease of $12.9 million and a decrease of $19.3 million, respectively.  In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible.  Management considers the
scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income
and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

The Chapter 11 reorganization of the Company resulted in an "ownership change"
of the Company under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), which resulted in a limitation on the use of its NOL
carryforwards. In order to preserve a portion of the Company's NOLs in the event
of an ownership change within two years of its bankruptcy reorganization, the
Company made a special election in its 1994 federal income tax return to have
its NOLs be subject to Section 382 of the Code following its bankruptcy
reorganization (the "Section 382(l)(6) election").  The purpose of the Section
382(l)(6) election was to preserve the Company's ability to utilize a portion of
its NOLs even if it underwent an ownership change within two years from the
ownership change resulting from its bankruptcy reorganization. Absent that
election, if the Company underwent an ownership change within two years
following the ownership change resulting from its bankruptcy reorganization, it
would have been precluded from using any NOLs incurred prior to that second
ownership change to offset taxable income for periods following that ownership
change.

                                      F-20
<PAGE>
 
As a result of the Section 382(l)(6) election, the Company's NOLs attributable
to the period prior to the ownership change resulting from its bankruptcy
reorganization, as computed for federal and state income tax purposes, available
to be used to offset future taxable income generally was limited to an annual
amount (the "Section 382 Limitation") equal to the value of the Company's equity
immediately after that ownership change multiplied by the then "long-term tax-
exempt rate". The Section 382 Limitation may also be increased by certain
"built-in" income items recognized following an ownership change. Based on
values used by the Company in preparing its 1994 federal income tax return, the
Company's Section 382 Limitation that generally applied to all NOLs attributable
to the period prior to the ownership change that resulted from the Company's
bankruptcy reorganization was approximately $2.4 million, plus any "built-in"
income items as previously discussed.  NOLs incurred following that time were
not subject to that limitation.  In general, to the extent taxable income for a
year is less than the Section 382 Limitation applicable to that year, the excess
Section 382 Limitation increases the Section 382 Limitation available for the
immediately succeeding year.  To the extent the Company's taxable income for a
year exceeds the Section 382 Limitation applicable to that year, plus the amount
of any unused NOLs not subject to the Section 382 Limitation (e.g., because they
are Post-Change NOLs), the Company will have federal taxable income subject to
tax at a maximum rate of 35.0% (plus any applicable state taxes). Unused NOLs
generally expire 15 years after they are incurred.

At December 31, 1995, the Company has approximately $50.3 million of NOLs (and
equivalent tax credit carryforwards) available to offset  future federal and
state taxable income, subject to the application of Section 382 of the Code, as
discussed above.  If the Company, in future tax periods, were to recognize tax
benefits attributable to tax attributes of the Predecessor (such as net
operating loss and other carryforwards), any such benefit would first be applied
to reduce the balance of Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to
identifiable assets.

Subsequent to December 31, 1995, a series of transactions were consummated which
may have affected the Company's NOLs.  See Note 16.

10.  BENEFIT PLANS

DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
- -----------------------------

The Company sponsors several defined benefit pension plans covering
substantially all of its employees hired prior to September 1, 1992.  Pilots and
ground personnel are covered under three defined benefit pension plans which
provide benefits based primarily on years of service and employee compensation
near retirement.  The IAM and salaried defined benefit pension plans were
frozen effective October 1, 1993. Funding for the ground personnel plans is
based on minimum Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 requirements.
Pension cost for the ALPA plan is funded on a current basis based on the
amortization of prior service cost over 20 years. Plan assets consist primarily
of common stocks, government securities, insurance contract deposits and cash
management funds.

</TABLE> 

The projected benefit obligation was determined using an assumed weighted-
average discount rate of 7.25% for 1995.  At December 31, 1995, the assumed
weighted-average rate of compensation increase was 4.50% for pilots and 0.00%
for ground personnel. The assumed weighted-average expected long-term rate of
return on plan assets was 9.0% for 1995.

The provisions of SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," require the
recognition of an additional minimum liability for each defined benefit plan for
which the accumulated benefit obligation exceeds plan assets.  This amount is
recorded as a long-term liability in Accumulated pension and other
postretirement benefits obligations and a separate reduction of Shareholders'
Equity in the accompanying balance sheets.

The net periodic pension cost in 1994 was determined using an assumed weighted-
average discount rate of 8.25% and 7.25% for the period from September 12, 1994
to December 31, 1994 and the period from January 1, 1994 to September 11, 1994,
respectively.

In the third quarter of 1994, ALPA further ratified certain funding assumption
changes to its defined benefit pension plan which resulted in decreased required
cash contributions to the plan.  The changes were ratified by ALPA in exchange
for 1) an additional allowed general unsecured claim under the Predecessor's
Chapter 11 process; 2) payment by the Reorganized Company of the pilots' pension
plan investment and advisory fees and administrative expenses in 1994 and 1995,
with payments being limited to $100,000 in 1994; 3) if applicable, future
payment directly by the Reorganized Company for retirement benefits accrued in
excess of statutory compensation limits; and 4) forgiveness of certain
immaterial fees due from ALPA.

Fresh start adjustment of $8.3 million represents the net effect of fresh start
accounting, as applied by the Company in accordance with SOP 90-7, on the
pension benefit obligation as of September 12, 1994.

salaried employee defined benefit pension plans as of October 1, 1993.

POSTRETIREMENT PLANS
- --------------------

In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company sponsors two defined
benefit postretirement plans.  Employees in the Company's non-pilot group are
eligible for certain medical benefits under one plan if they meet certain age
and service requirements at the time of retirement.  Employees in the Company's
pilot group are eligible for certain medical and life insurance benefits under
another plan if they become disabled or reach normal retirement age while
working for the Company.  The Company continues to fund the cost of medical and
life insurance benefits in the year incurred.

The Company's postretirement benefit plans' combined benefit obligations as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows, in thousands:

The medical cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts
reported.  To illustrate, increasing the assumed medical cost trend rates by
1.0% in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation as of December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 by $2.9 million, $3.7 million
and $3.5 million, respectively, and the aggregate of the service and interest
cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the years then
ended by $632,000, $584,000 and $593,000, respectively.

OTHER
- -----

The Company also sponsors separate deferred compensation plans (401(k)) for its
pilots, flight attendants and ground and salaried personnel.  Participating
employer cash contributions are not required under the terms of the pilots'
plan. However, the Company made contributions of 5.0% in 1995, 5.0% in 1994 and
7.0% in 1993, of defined compensation pursuant to the terms of the flight
attendants' plan.  Effective January 1, 1994, the Company is required to
contribute an additional 2.0% to participants in the flight attendants' plan.
Contributions to the flight attendants' plan are funded currently and totaled
approximately $555,000, $889,000 and $868,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

Effective September 1, 1993, the Company was required to contribute 2.0% of
eligible earnings to the 401(k) plan for IAM and salaried personnel.  Effective
September 1, 1994, the Company is required to contribute 4.0% of eligible
earnings to the IAM and salaried personnel plan.  Contributions from the Company
are required only for those employees who were participants in the plan as of
September 1, 1993.  Contributions to the IAM and salaried 401(k) plan totaled
$1.6 million, $1.1 million and $288,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

11.      COMMON STOCK WARRANTS, RIGHTS AND OPTIONS

EXISTING WARRANTS
- -----------------

In conjunction with the Credit Facility, $2.0 million of letters of credit
were provided by certain third parties as additional security for performance of
the Company's obligations under the Credit Facility. One such letter of credit
in the amount of $1.0 million is guaranteed by Mr. Martin Anderson, a member of
the Board of Directors for fiscal year 1995. The persons providing the letters
of credit received a subordinated security interest in the assets securing the
Financing and received warrants to purchase 989,011 shares of the Reorganized
Company's Class A Common Stock. The warrants have a five-year term, expiring
September 12, 1999, and are exercisable at a price equal to $2.73 per common
share, subject to adjustment pursuant to anti-dilution provisions. No warrants
had been exercised as of December 31, 1995.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
- -----------------------

On December 1, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized adoption
of a shareholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan") pursuant to which there would
be attached to each share of common stock of the Reorganized Company one
preferred stock purchase right (a "PSP Right").  The Rights Plan provides that
in the event any person becomes the beneficial owner of 10.0% or more of the
outstanding common shares, each PSP Right (other than a PSP Right held by the
10.0% shareholder) will be exercisable, on and after the close of business on
the tenth business day following such event, to purchase Hawaiian Airlines
Series A Preferred Stock having a market value equal to two times the then
current exercise price (initially $8.00).   The Rights Plan further provides
that if, on or after the occurrence of such event, the Company is merged into
any other corporation or 50.0% or more of the Company's assets or earning power
are sold, each PSP Right (other than a PSP Right held by the 10.0% shareholder)
will be exercisable to purchase common shares of the acquiring corporation
having a market value equal to $16.00.  The PSP Rights expire on December 1,
2004 (unless previously triggered) and are subject to redemption by the  Company
at $0.01 per PSP Right at any time prior to the first date upon which they
become exercisable.

1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN
- ----------------------

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, 600,000 shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under a 1994
Stock Option Plan.  The 1994 Stock Option Plan provides for issuance of options
to officers and key employees of the Company, with the terms of such options and
the recipients of such options to be determined by a committee.  In February
1995, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a form of
nonqualified stock option agreement and granted options to acquire 592,500
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock.  The Compensation Committee
established the exercise price of the options granted as 25.0% of the average of
the closing prices of the Class A Common Stock reported on the AMEX for the 10
consecutive days of trading beginning on June 26, 1995.  The application of the
aforementioned formula resulted in an option exercise price of $1.62 per share.
The options vest and are exercisable upon the earlier of February 2, 1996 or
upon a change of control, as described in the 1994 Stock Option Plan.  If the
options vest through lapse of time, they may be exercised at any time prior to
February 2, 2005; however, if the options vest due to a change of control, they
may be exercised immediately prior to such change of control, after which any
unexercised options lapse.  Noncash compensation expense of approximately $2.0
million for the granted options has been recognized during the year ended
December 31, 1995.  The remaining $182,000 of compensation cost has been
reflected as Unearned compensation in the Shareholders' Equity section in the
accompanying balance sheets and will be recognized in January 1996.  No options
had been exercised as of December 31, 1995 (options to acquire 592,500 shares
are outstanding).

In January 1996, the AIP Investment and a series of related transactions were
consummated.  The AIP Investment and its related transactions resulted in the
immediate vesting of the aforementioned stock options, the Company issuing
additional warrants to AMR and the holders of the Existing Warrants and changes
to the provisions of the Rights Plan and 1994 Stock Option Plan.  See Note 16.

12.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AMERICAN AND CERTAIN OF ITS AFFILIATES

A variety of agreements exist between the Company and American and AMR Training
& Consulting Group, Inc. and its affiliates for certain services, including data
processing, licensing of reservations system, leasing of DC-10-10 aircraft,
maintenance services on such DC-10-10 aircraft and participation in the
AAdvantage(R) frequent flyer program.  At December 31, 1995, the obligations of
the Company under these agreements were secured by a $2.0 million letter of
credit issued under the Company's working capital line of credit.  See Note 7.

On October 31, 1994, the Company failed to make certain payments due to American
pursuant to the Aircraft Lease Agreement pursuant to which American leases six
DC-10s to the Company. American sent the Company notice of the failure to make
rent and prepaid maintenance payments and noted that such failure constituted an
event of default under the Aircraft Lease Agreement, but did not declare the
Aircraft Lease Agreement in default or exercise any of the remedies available to
it, which include, but are not limited to, termination of the Aircraft Lease
Agreement, repossession of certain aircraft and engines, recovery of damages and
drawings under letters of credit then in place in the amount of $2.0 million
posted by the Company as required by the Aircraft Lease Agreement.  The Company
subsequently made the rent and prepaid maintenance payments due American in
November 1994.

On several occasions during 1995, the Company again failed to timely make
certain rent and prepaid maintenance payments in full due pursuant to the
Aircraft Lease Agreement.  Again, while American sent the Company notice of the
failure to make such payments in full, American did not declare the Aircraft
Lease Agreement in default or exercise any of the remedies available to it.  On
several occasions during the year, American deferred the payment of the
delinquent amounts.  As of December 9, 1995, the Company owed American $7.1
million in deferred payments and accrued interest.  American agreed to permit
the deferral of the payment of this $7.1 million (plus interest thereon) and the
periodic payments of lease rents and maintenance payments that would become due
on or after December 8, 1995, up to a maximum of an additional $2.9 million
(including interest), until the earlier of the consummation of the AIP
Investment or February 7, 1996.  As of January 4, 1996, the Company had deferred
the maximum deferrable amount of lease rents and maintenance payments under the
Aircraft Lease Agreement.

On January 31, 1996, establishment of terms for the repayment of these
delinquencies and certain other agreements and arrangements with American and
AMR were effected upon consummation of the AIP Investment.  See Note 16.

13.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

LITIGATION
- ----------

The Company is party to a small number of lawsuits.  Four claims were asserted
against the Reorganized Company for alleged prepetition and/or administrative
claims on or before the Effective Date of the Plan.  Management believes that
the Reorganized Company has established adequate reserves for these bankruptcy
related claims.

In addition, the Company is a party to several other claims and legal actions.
In the opinion of management, and after consultation with legal counsel, the
Company believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial condition.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE
- --------------------

Maintenance on the Company's DC-10-10 aircraft fleet  is being performed by
American in accordance with FAA regulations and Hawaiian Airlines' approved
maintenance program. Commencing October 1994 and throughout 1995, the Company
was delinquent in making certain payments due American under its lease
arrangement. Establishment of terms for the repayment of these delinquencies and
certain other arrangements with American were effected subsequent to December
31, 1995 upon consummation of the AIP Investment and its related transactions.
See Notes 6, 12 and 16.

Due to the U.S. Government's decision to phase out the VLF/Omega stations, the
Omega navigation system aboard the DC-10-10 aircraft must be updated to continue
overseas operations.  The current plan is to change to a dual Global Positioning
System during the heavy phase checks scheduled for 1996.  The estimated cost is
$125,000 per aircraft.

Hawaiian Airlines anticipates that in the period 1996 through 1999, five of its
13 DC-9-50 aircraft will require a heavy airframe overhaul check (the "D
Check").  The D Check for a DC-9-50 requires more than 10,000 man-hours of
maintenance work and includes stripping the airframe, extensively testing the
airframe structure and a large number of parts and components, and reassembling
the overhauled airframe with new or rebuilt components.  The Company anticipates
each D Check to cost approximately $1,200,000.

As a result of certain incidents in 1989 and 1988 involving structural damage to
aircraft in flight operated by carriers other than the Company, the Federal
Aviation Administration (the "FAA") is requiring or is expected to require
structural modifications and the replacement of certain parts, as well as the
implementation of additional maintenance programs or changes to current
programs, with respect to various types of aircraft over a certain age.  These
requirements vary, depending on the type of aircraft covered.  Based on
information currently available, the Company estimates that the total cost of
complying with the aging aircraft requirements over the 1996 through 2000 period
will approximate $600,000 per DC-9-50 aircraft.

In addition, the Company expects to incur approximately $100,000 per DC-9-50
aircraft per year, for maintenance required under a corrosion prevention and
control program.  This program is anticipated to continue indefinitely in the
future.

During the period from 1996 through 2000, the Company anticipates implementing
its supplemental inspection document program for certain of its DC-9-50 aircraft
which is estimated to range up to $50,000 per aircraft.

The estimated future cost of complying with FAA regulations as discussed in the
preceding paragraphs will be in addition to the costs of the Company's current
DC-10-10 and DC-9-50 fleet maintenance programs.

LOS ANGELES AIRPORT OPERATING TERMINAL
- --------------------------------------

On December 1, 1985, the Company entered into an Interline Agreement with other
airlines for, among other things, the sharing of costs, expenses and certain
liabilities related to the acquisition, construction and renovation of certain
passenger terminal facilities at the Los Angeles International Airport
("Facilities").  Current tenants and participating members of LAX Two
Corporation (the "Corporation"), a mutual benefit corporation, are jointly and
severally obligated to pay their share of debt service payments related to
Facilities Sublease Revenue Bonds issued to finance the acquisition,
construction and renovation of the Facilities which totaled $111.9 million at
completion.  The Corporation leases the Facilities from the Regional Airports
Improvement Corporation under a lease agreement.  In addition, the Corporation
is also obligated to make annual payments to the city of Los Angeles for charges
related to its terminal ground rental.  All leases of the Corporation are
accounted for as operating leases with related future commitments as of December
31, 1995 amounting to approximately $201.7 million.  Rent expense relating to
these operating leases totaled $5.9 million, $4.4 million and $3.6 million in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Member airlines pay the expenses associated with the Facilities on a prorata
share basis calculated primarily upon their respective numbers of passengers
utilizing the Facilities.  The Company accounts for its obligation under this
agreement as an operating lease and incurred $842,000, $737,000 and $672,000 of
rent expense in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

FREQUENT FLYER PROGRAM
- ----------------------

The Company's Gold Plus frequent flyer program offers a variety of awards based
on accumulated mileage.  The Company recognizes a liability in the period in
which members have accumulated sufficient mileage points to allow for award
redemption.  The incremental cost method is used, computed primarily on the
basis of fuel and catering costs, exclusive of any overhead or profit margin.
Non-travel awards are valued at the incremental cost of tickets exchanged for
such awards.

As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, Gold Plus members had accumulated
approximately 3.3 billion and 3.0 billion miles, respectively, representing
liabilities totaling approximately $489,000 at the end of each year.  The
Company's accruals assume full redemption of mileage points. During the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, 581.0 million, 636.0 million and 493.0
million award miles were redeemed, respectively.

The Company believes that the usage of free travel awards will not result in the
displacement of revenue customers and, therefore, such usage will not materially
affect the Company's liquidity or operating results.  The use of free travel
awards is subject to effective capacity control/yield management programs
maintained by the Company to limit the possibility of displacing revenue
passengers.  Usage of Gold Plus travel redemption accounted for approximately
2.2%, 2.7% and 2.1% of Interisland traffic and an insignificant percentage of
Transpac and Southpac traffic in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

14.  CONCENTRATION OF BUSINESS RISK

The Company's scheduled service operations are primarily focused on providing
air transportation service to, from, or throughout the Hawaiian Islands.
Therefore, the Company's operations, including its ability to collect its
outstanding receivables, are significantly affected by economic conditions in
the State of Hawaii and by other factors affecting the level of tourism in
Hawaii.

The Company's Interisland, Transpac and Southpac scheduled service is marketed
through a number of wholesalers.  No wholesaler accounted for more than 10.0% of
total passenger revenues in 1995 or 1994. In 1993, one wholesaler accounted for
approximately 11.0% of total passenger revenues.  The wholesaler purchased
approximately $31.0 million of tickets in 1993, primarily in the Interisland and
Transpac markets.

15.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During 1995, the law firm Goodsill Anderson Quinn & Stifel, of which Mr. Martin
Anderson, a member of the Board of Directors and chairman of the Compensation
Committee during fiscal year 1995, is a partner, billed legal fees to the
Company in the amount of $117,479. As of December 31, 1995, $9,836 of fees were
outstanding. In addition, Goodsill Anderson Quinn & Stifel received 28,606
shares of Class A Common Stock upon the June 19, 1995 initial distribution by
the Company of shares of Class A Common Stock.  Goodsill Anderson Quinn & Stifel
sold all 28,606 shares of Class A Common Stock after the initial distribution.

In conjunction with obtaining financing under the Plan of Reorganization, $2.0
million of letters of credit were provided by certain third parties as
additional security for performance of the Company's obligations under the
Credit Facility.  One such letter of credit in the amount of $1.0 million is
guaranteed by Mr. Anderson.  In consideration for the guarantee, Mr. Anderson
received a subordinate security interest in the assets securing the Credit
Facility and received warrants to purchase 494,505 shares of the Company's Class
A Common Stock.  The warrants have a five-year term, expiring September 12,
1999, and are exercisable at a price equal to $2.73 per share, subject to
adjustment pursuant to anti-dilution provisions.  See Note 11.

Mr. Clifton Kagawa, a member of the Board of Directors and the Compensation
Committee during fiscal year 1995, is the President and Chief Executive Officer
of Hill and Knowlton Asia Pacific, and senior representative in Hawaii for WPP
Group plc, the parent company of Hill and Knowlton, Inc., and advertising agency
Ogilvy and Mather Worldwide.  Hill and Knowlton, Inc. is a public relations
company which provides services to the Company. During 1995, this public
relations company billed the Company for services totaling $170,601.  Hill and
Knowlton, Inc. received 1,431 shares of Class A Common Stock upon the June 19,
1995 initial distribution by the Company of shares of Class A Common Stock. Hill
and Knowlton, Inc. sold all 1,431 shares of Class A Common Stock after the
initial distribution.  The Company also employs the services of Ogilvy & Mather
Hawaii, which received 20,410 shares of Class A Common Stock upon the June 19,
1995 initial distribution by the Company of shares of Class A Common Stock.
Ogilvy & Mather sold all 20,410 shares of Class A Common Stock after the initial
distribution.  During 1995, this advertising agency billed the Company for
services totaling $2,942,574.

Upon consummation of the AIP Investment and its related transactions in January
1996, both Mr. Anderson and Mr. Kagawa agreed not to stand for reelection to the
Board of Directors and effectively resigned upon the election of the new Board
of Directors at the special meeting of shareholders.  Also, the shares and the
exercise price on such shares associated with Mr. Anderson's warrants were
adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the warrants.  See Note 16.

16.  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY AND
     SUBSEQUENT INVESTMENT AND FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

As discussed in Note 1, the Company's Plan became effective in September 1994,
representing the completion of its Chapter 11 reorganization process within one
year and the avoidance of additional costs primarily related to the transition
of its aircraft fleet.  Thereafter, the Company financed its operations through
operating cash flow, borrowings under the Credit Facility, a series of
promotional fare ticket sale activities and payment deferrals from existing
creditors, one of which was American. During this period, the Company also
operated with a cash balance equivalent to less than one week's worth of
operating expenses. Operating at that level of liquidity placed the Company's
existence at risk; there was no cushion to respond to unexpected operational
upheavals that have periodically affected the airline industry or to cover the
seasonal downturns typically experienced by the Company.

Due to its working capital shortage, the Company deferred certain discretionary
capital expenditures that management believes may improve profitability.  One
example is a series of investments in improved software that are expected to
improve operating efficiency.  Another is the outlay required to consolidate
operations into one terminal at Honolulu International Airport.  The working
capital shortage also had an unfavorable effect on yield, which, although
difficult to quantify, is believed to be significant.  The Company found it
necessary to offer its products to wholesalers and to the public at reduced
rates in order to enhance cash flow. The uncertain financial situation also
limited the availability of trade credit and at times necessitated the use of
cash or equivalent security to obtain services. Finally, potential partners in
the airline industry have been reluctant to enter into business arrangements
with the Company until its financial difficulties have been overcome.

This situation led the Company during 1995 to seek a possible equity investor.
As a result of its efforts, on November 6, 1995, the Company executed a letter
of intent with AIP, which was followed by the execution on December 8, 1995 of
the definitive Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Investment Agreement") setting
forth the terms of the AIP Investment. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had
aggregated a net working capital deficit of $51.7 million, representing a $5.9
million increase from the net working capital deficit of $45.8 million at
December 31, 1994.  Principally, the increase in the working capital deficit
resulted from the net of (1) an increase in accounts payable of $17.7 million
primarily due to deferred aircraft lease rents and maintenance payments due
American; (2) a decrease in air traffic liability of $9.9 million due to the
burnoff throughout 1995 of promotional fare ticket sales held in the second and
last quarters of 1994; and (3) miscellaneous changes in other working capital
accounts resulting in a $1.9 million decrease in the working capital deficit
from that of 1994.

The Board of Directors unanimously approved the AIP Investment and believes that
the AIP Investment is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
A special shareholders meeting was held on January 30, 1996 at which the
shareholders approved the series of transactions described below.  On January
31, 1996, the AIP Investment and certain other transactions described below were
consummated, which when considered in combination, are anticipated to (1)
improve the Company's liquidity; (2) reduce operating costs; (3) enable the
Company to make necessary capital expenditures; (4) allow the Company to take
advantage of prompt payment discounts; (5) avoid the need to provide early
payment incentives to wholesalers and become less dependent on promotional fare
ticket sales to the traveling public; and (6)  provide coverage for seasonal
working capital needs.

AIP
- ---

The AIP Investment consisted of the issuance and sale to AIP of 18,181,818
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (the "Shares"), par value $.01 per
share, and four shares of the Company's Class B Special Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $20.0 million
under the Investment Agreement.  Upon consummation of the AIP Investment, AIP
owns approximately 67.0% of the Company's common equity.  As a result, AIP
currently controls substantially all actions to be taken by the shareholders of
the Company.  After giving effect to the issuance of shares of Class A Common
Stock upon the exercise of rights proposed to be offered after the consummation
of the AIP Investment as described below (the agreement with AIP requires AIP to
use its best efforts to cause the Company to make such offering), the issuance
of shares of Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of the AMR warrants and
certain other issuances of Class A Common Stock, AIP would own approximately
44.0% of the outstanding common equity of the Company 

                                      F-32
<PAGE>
 
(assuming that the rights referred to above are exercised by persons other than
AIP). Until such time as AIP ceases to own at least 35.0% of the common equity,
it would have the right to nominate six of the 11 nominees to stand from time to
time for election as directors of the Company. Thereafter, AIP would have the
right to nominate five, four or three directors so long as it owned at least
25.0%, 10.0% or 5.0%, respectively, of the common equity. On January 30, 1996,
six of AIP's director nominees were elected to the Board of Directors.

AIP and the Company have entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant
to which AIP would have the right to require the Company, on two occasions, to
use its best efforts to register, at the Company's expense, some or all of the
Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").  In
addition, AIP would have the right to have the Shares included in any other
registered offering of shares of Class A Common Stock made within ten years
after consummation of the AIP Investment.

Rights Offering
- ---------------

The Investment Agreement requires AIP to use its best efforts to cause the
Company, as soon as practicable after the consummation of the AIP Investment, to
make a rights offering (the "Rights Offering") pursuant to which the Company
would offer to such persons as the Board of Directors shall determine at the
time of the Rights Offering (which would not initially include AIP (except
possibly with respect to Rights not exercised during the allotted time) but
would include, among others, shareholders who hold shares at the record date for
the Rights Offering and holders of options granted under the 1994 Stock Option
Plan) rights to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Rights"), during a
20-day period after the issuance of the Rights, at a discount equal to at least
30.0% of the trading price of the Class A Common Stock measured over a period of
time to be designated by the Board of Directors after the consummation of the
AIP Investment and prior to the Rights Offering, subject to a minimum exercise
price of $1.10 per Right.  Unexercised Rights would be offered to certain
employees, as provided in the modifications to the collective bargaining
agreements described below, and possibly to AIP.  The other terms and conditions
of the Rights Offering, including the number of Rights to be offered, the record
date for the Rights Offering and whether the Rights would be transferable, would
be established by the Board of Directors at the time of the Rights Offering.  It
is currently expected that Rights with respect to approximately 10,000,000
shares of Class A Common Stock would be offered, subject to the Board's
determination at the time of the Rights Offering.  The Rights Offering would be
made only by means of a separate prospectus constituting a part of a
registration statement to be filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

The Company has agreed with GPA Group plc and its affiliate AEROUSA, Inc. (the
"GPA Companies") that, if the closing of the Rights Offering shall have occurred
by September 30, 1996, the Company shall repurchase all of the shares of Class A
Common Stock owned by the GPA Companies and repay certain secured and unsecured
promissory notes held by the GPA Companies.  The stock repurchase price would be
$1.10 per share and the promissory notes would be repaid at approximately 85.0%
of the then carrying value of the notes, including any deferred costs and other
expenses owed.  Based on the number of shares owned by the GPA Companies as of
January 31, 1996 and the carrying value of the notes as of such date, the
Company would pay approximately $4.91 million to the GPA Companies.  The Company
has the option at any time prior to the Rights Offering to repurchase the GPA
Companies' shares and repay their notes on the above terms.

AMR and American
- -----------------

Upon consummation of the AIP Investment and satisfaction of certain other
conditions, the Company entered into certain arrangements with AMR and American
pursuant to which, AMR and American accepted the following:

 . The payment of up to $10.0 million of deferred lease rents and maintenance
  payments (and accrued interest thereon) under the Aircraft Lease Agreement and
  the reimbursement of American's fees and expenses in connection with the
  transaction through the issuance by the Company to American of a $10.25
  million promissory note secured by certain assets of the Company (the
  "American Note"). The American Note bears interest at 10.0% per annum, payable
  quarterly in arrears, and has a final maturity date of September 11, 2001. The
  American Note requires repayment of principal equal to one-sixth of the
  original principal amount on each anniversary of its date of issuance (January
  31). The Company has the option to prepay the American Note for $9.15 million
  at any time before January 31, 1997, or at any time thereafter, in whole or in
  part, at its remaining principal

                                      F-33
<PAGE>
 
  balance, without premium. The American Note is prepayable in full, at the
  option of the holder, in the event and at the time that any person or group
  (other than AIP) acquires more than 30.0% of the voting interest in the
  Company;

  The American Note is secured by a lien on substantially all of the personal
  property of the Company through December 31, 1997.  This lien is a first
  priority lien except that it is junior to (1) liens of security deposits held
  by credit card processors and (2) liens securing up to $15.0 million in
  obligations of the Company consisting of (x) secured obligations of the
  Company (other than credit card processor security deposit liens) existing on
  the date of issuance of the American Note, and (y) additional secured
  obligations of the Company incurred after such issuance.  As of January 31,
  1996, in addition to its credit card deposits, the Company had $7.6 million in
  secured obligations (including all amounts under the Credit Facility), the
  liens of which are prior to the lien of the American Note. On and after
  January 1, 1998, the Company is obligated to secure the American Note and the
  other obligations of the Company to American with a first priority lien on
  identified assets with a fair market value (supported by an appraisal) of at
  least 125.0% of the remaining outstanding principal balance of the American
  Note from time to time;

 . Basic rents under the Aircraft Lease Agreement have been reduced by
  approximately 28.0% for a period of three years, at which time basic rents
  would revert back to 1995 levels.  The Company has agreed to pay a minimum
  monthly charge for maintenance services and basic rents and maintenance
  charges are payable monthly in arrears rather than weekly in advance. American
  has the right to terminate its obligation to provide aircraft maintenance
  services on and after January 1, 1999 upon 180 days prior notice;

 . American's relinquishment of $2.0 million of letters of credit which secured
  the Company's obligations to American under the Aircraft Lease Agreement.  The
  termination of these letters of credit increased the Company's borrowing
  capacity under the Credit Facility;

 . Issuance of the AMR Warrants to AMR, which entitle the holder to acquire up to
  1,897,946 shares of the Class A Common Stock (the "AMR Warrant Shares")
  exercisable at $1.10 per share.  One half of the AMR Warrants are immediately
  exercisable but the balance of the AMR Warrants are only exercisable if
  American and the Company enter into a code sharing arrangement by January 1,
  1997 regarding the placement of the two letter flight designator code for
  American's flights on the Company's Interisland flights.  If not exercised,
  the AMR Warrants expire on September 11, 2001; and

 . American's right to require the Company, on two occasions, to use its best
  efforts to register, at the Company's expense, some or all of the AMR Warrant
  Shares under the Securities Act.  In addition, AMR has the right to have the
  AMR Warrant Shares included in any other registered offering of shares of
  Class A Common Stock made before September 11, 2001.  If any person or entity
  acquires a majority of the outstanding Common Stock before September 11, 2001,
  the Company is required to use its best efforts to cause the seller or sellers
  of such Common Stock to permit AMR to include AMR Warrant Shares in such sale
  on the same terms as those available to such seller.  AIP has agreed that, if
  it were one of the sellers in such a sale, it would permit AMR to participate
  in such sale.

The arrangements with American have provided the Company with substantial
benefits.  The payment through the American Note of $10.0 million of deferred
rents and maintenance payments otherwise due on February 7, 1996 will
effectively permit the Company to make such payments in installments over the
period from January 1997 to September 2001, thereby freeing up working capital
for other purposes.  In addition, basic rents under the Aircraft Lease Agreement
have been reduced by approximately 28.0% for three years, resulting in lower
operating costs.  Furthermore, the release by American of the security deposit
letters of credit resulted in $2.0 million of borrowing capacity becoming
available to the Company under the Credit Facility.  In total, these
arrangements with American would further improve the Company's liquidity and
will result in the reduction of cash operating expenses by approximately $3.0
million per year for three years.

                                      F-34

Unions and Labor Agreements
- ---------------------------

Upon consummation of the AIP Investment and satisfaction of certain other
conditions, amendments to the labor agreements for each of the Company's labor
unions became effective.

The amendments to the agreements extend the amendable date of all five
contracts from February 28, 1997 to February 28, 2000.  Each of the five unions
agreed to certain economic concessions, which include cancellation of certain
scheduled pay increases, with new pay increases to be effective December 1, 1998
and January 1, 2000. Management expects that these concessions will reduce cash
operating expenses which would have been incurred during the two-year period
ending December 1997.  In exchange for the wage concessions, the Company has
agreed to negotiate a gain-sharing program to provide employees the opportunity
to receive wage rate increases resulting from work rule and productivity
modifications, which would produce cost savings to the Company.  In addition,
the Company has agreed to establish a profit bonus plan, which would provide all
employees (other than senior management) with cash bonuses if the Company
achieves certain pre-tax profit targets.  The contracts as modified provide
additional furlough protection to employees under certain specified
circumstances.  The Company and unions also have agreed to include certain
additional low-cost or no-cost provisions that are specific to each of the
respective union contracts.  Management cannot presently determine the estimated
costs associated with these gain sharing and profit bonus plan initiatives.

Pursuant to their collective bargaining agreements, AFA, IAM and ALPA each have
the right to nominate one of the nominees to stand from time to time for
election as directors of the Company.  On January 30, 1996, each of the IAM,
ALPA and AFA director nominees were elected to the Board of Directors.

Special Preferred Stock
- -----------------------

As part of the AIP Investment, AIP received four shares of Series B Special
Preferred Stock, which entitle AIP to nominate directors as described above.
AFA, IAM and ALPA each received one share of Series C Special Preferred Stock,
Series D Special Preferred Stock and Series E Special Preferred Stock,
respectively, (collectively the "Special Preferred Stock") which entitle each
union to nominate one director. The holders of each series of the Special
Preferred Stock are entitled to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors caused
by the removal, resignation or death of a director nominated by that series if
the Board fails to fill such vacancy within 30 days.  AIP has agreed with each
of IAM, ALPA and AFA that so long as the right to have a representative on the
Board is in its respective collective bargaining agreement, AIP will vote its
shares in favor of such union's nominee for the Board of Directors. In addition
to the rights of the Special Preferred Stock described above, the Special
Preferred Stock is 1) senior to Common Stock and each series is pari passu with
each other with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding up and
will be entitled to receive $.01 per share, and no more, before any payments are
made to holders of any stock ranking junior to the Special Preferred Stock; 2)
has no dividend rights other than at any time that a dividend is declared and
paid on the Common Stock dividends in an amount per share equal to twice the
dividend per share paid on the Common Stock will be paid on the Special
Preferred Stock; 3) is entitled to one vote per share and votes with the Class A
Common Stock as a single class on all matters submitted to the shareholders of
the Company; 4) automatically converts into one share of Class A Common Stock
upon the transfer of such share from the person to whom originally issued to any
person that is not an affiliate of such person; and 5) does not have preemptive
rights in connection with future issuances of the Company's capital stock.

Authorized Capital Stock
- ------------------------

The Amended Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended were further
amended to increase the authorized number of shares of Class A Common Stock from
40,000,000 shares to 60,000,000 shares. The increase in the number of authorized
shares allows the Company to have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued
shares of Class A Common Stock to permit the exercise of Rights under the Rights
Offering and ensures that the Company will have, from time to time, an adequate
number of authorized and unissued shares available for corporate purposes, such
as future public and private equity offerings, to raise working capital. As a
result of the amendment, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
60,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, 3,050,000
shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 2,000,000 shares
of Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share.

Except for shares of Class A Common Stock that have been reserved in connection
with the Existing Warrants, the 1994 Stock Option Plan, the Plan, the AMR
Warrants and the Rights Offering, the Company has no present agreements or
commitments to issue any additional shares of Class A Common Stock.

Existing Warrants
- -----------------

Pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Existing Warrants, upon the
consummation of the AIP Investment, the holders of the Existing Warrants
received warrants to purchase an additional 587,356 shares of Class A Common
Stock exercisable at $1.71 per share.  The holders of the Existing Warrants have
agreed that the anti-dilution provisions will not apply in connection with the
AMR Warrants and the Rights.

1994 Stock Option Plan
- ----------------------

As discussed in Note 11, options to acquire 592,500 shares of Class A Common
Stock were granted in 1995 pursuant to the terms of the 1994 Stock Option Plan.
The AIP Investment constituted a change of control for purposes of the 1994
Stock Option Plan, thereby accelerating both the vesting and expiration of the
options.  In connection with the AIP Investment, the 1994 Stock Option Plan was
amended to extend the option exercise period to February 2, 2005.  This
amendment resulted in a new measurement date for the awarded options and
approximately $782,000 of related noncash compensation expense was recorded in
January 1996.

Rights Plan
- -----------

AIP's acquisition of the Shares would have rendered AIP a "10% Shareholder," as
that term is defined in the Rights Plan (see Note 11), thereby triggering the
distribution of preferred stock purchase rights to the Company's shareholders.
Pursuant to the Rights Plan, the Board has the power to determine whether any
person, including AIP, is or is not a "10% Shareholder," whether or not such a
determination is adverse to any holder of PSP rights.  The Board determined that
AIP's acquisition of the Shares shall not render AIP a "10% Shareholder" and in
anticipation of the AIP Investment, amended the Rights Plan to exclude AIP's
acquisition of the Shares from triggering the distribution of the PSP rights.

Tax and Net Operating Loss Considerations
- -----------------------------------------

The Company believes that the transactions with respect to its equity following
its bankruptcy reorganization, including those pertaining to the AIP Investment,
issuance of the AMR Warrants, consummation of the Rights Offering, and possible
purchases or sales of its stock by significant shareholders or exercises of
options to acquire equity in the Company, has resulted in or has significantly
increased the likelihood of an "ownership change" of the Company for purposes of
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  An ownership change under Section 382
results in an annual limitation on the amount of pre-ownership change NOLs of
the Company that can be used to offset the Company's taxable income for periods
following the ownership change.

Based on values used by the Company in preparing its 1994 federal income tax
return, the Company's Section 382 Limitation that generally applied to all NOLs
attributable to the period prior to the ownership change that resulted from the
Company's bankruptcy reorganization was approximately $2.4 million, plus certain
"built-in" income items that increase the Section 382 Limitation.  While the
Company anticipates that any ownership change resulting from the AIP Investment
and its related transactions would result in a new Section 382 Limitation which
is lower than the Section 382 Limitation in effect previously, the amount of
such reduction and its effect on the Company (as well as the effect on the
Company of subjecting NOLs incurred following the Company's bankruptcy
reorganization to the Section 382 Limitation) depend on numerous issues,
including but not limited to the value of the Company's equity at certain dates,
the amount and timing of future taxable income and loss, and the amount of
"built-in" income items of the Company.  Therefore, while the effect of an
ownership change resulting from the AIP Investment and its related transactions
could be to increase the future tax liabilities of the Company, the precise
effect of such an ownership change of the Company resulting from the Investment
and its related transactions is unclear.

Current Status
- --------------

The Company's capital resources have been increased substantially due to the AIP
Investment and the arrangements with American.  It is anticipated that the
combination of the Company's improved liquidity and reduced operating costs will
enable the Company to make necessary capital expenditures, take advantage of
prompt payment discounts, avoid the need to provide early payment incentives to
wholesalers and become less dependent on promotional fare ticket sales to the
traveling public, thereby further improving liquidity.

In addition, the Company is anticipating the consummation of the Rights Offering
and is currently negotiating to increase the capacity of the Credit Facility to
$15.0 million.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in
either of these efforts.  If the Company is unsuccessful, it will seek other
sources of financing.  However, because the Company has no remaining
unencumbered assets, its access to additional sources of liquidity remains
limited.  If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining additional sources of
liquidity, an adverse change in events and circumstances could result in the
Company being unable to meet its financial obligations after it exhausts its
current and foreseeable capital resources.

The financial statements at December 31, 1995, have been prepared on a going
concern basis which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets
and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary as a result of the outcome
of future uncertainties.  Management recognizes that the continuation of the
Company as a going concern is dependent upon a return to profitable, positive
cash flow operations and the generation of adequate funds to meet its ongoing
obligations.

The results of operations for the first three quarters of 1994 were adjusted for
the impact of certain significant fourth quarter adjustments which related to
the prior quarters.  These adjustments were corrections of errors which resulted
from mathematical mistakes, mistakes in the application of accounting principles
or oversight or misuse of facts that existed at the time the financial
statements were prepared.

                   INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON SCHEDULE


The Board of Directors
Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.:

Under date of March 15, 1996, we reported on the balance sheets of Hawaiian 
Airlines, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of 
operations, shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended 
December 31, 1995, the period September 12, 1994 through December 31, 1994, the 
period January 1, 1994 through September 11, 1994, and the year ended December 
31, 1993, which are included herein. In connection with our audits of the 
aforementioned financial statements, we also audited the related financial 
statement schedule as listed in item 14(a)(2). The financial statement schedule 
is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

In our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation 
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all 
material respects, the information set forth therein.

The independent auditors' report on the financial statements of Hawaiian 
Airlines, Inc. referred to above contains an explanatory paragraph that states 
that as discussed in notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements, on September 12,
1994, Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. emerged from bankruptcy. The financial statements 
of the Reorganized Company reflect the impact of adjustments to reflect the fair
value of assets and liabilities under fresh start reporting. As a result, the 
financial statements of the Reorganized Company are presented on a different 
basis than those of the Predecessor Company and, therefore, are not comparable 
in all respects.

The independent auditors' report on the financial statements of Hawaiian 
Airlines, Inc. referred to above also contains an explanatory paragraph that 
states that the Company's recurring losses from operations, deficit working 
capital and its limited sources of additional liquidity raise substantial doubt 
about its ability to continue as a going concern. The aforementioned financial 
statements and financial statement schedule do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                                   ARTICLE I
                                     NAME

                     The name of the Corporation shall be

                            HAWAIIAN AIRLINES, INC.


                                  ARTICLE II
                                    OFFICES

The location of the principal office of the Corporation shall be in the City of
Honolulu, Island of Oahu, State of Hawaii, and the mailing address of the
principal office of the Corporation shall be 531 Ohohia Street, Honolulu, Hawaii
96819. The Corporation may have such other offices within and without the State
of Hawaii as its business may from time to time require.


                                  ARTICLE III
                              PURPOSES AND POWERS

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in commercial air transportation and
any lawful act or activity for which Corporation may be organized under the law
of Hawaii.


                                  ARTICLE IV
                                 CAPITAL STOCK

A.     The Corporation is authorized to issue three classes of shares of capital
stock, which shall be designated Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and
Preferred Stock, respectively. The total number of shares of capital stock which
the Corporation is authorized to issue is sixty-five million fifty thousand
(65,050,000) shares.

B.     (i)   The total number of shares of Common Stock which the Corporation
shall have authority to issue is sixty three million fifty thousand
(63,050,000), and all such shares shall have a par value of $.01. The
Corporation shall be authorized to issue three million fifty thousand
(3,050,000) shares of Class B Common Stock and sixty million (60,000,000) shares
of Class A Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall
not be authorized to have more than sixty million (60,000,000) shares of Common
Stock outstanding at any one time. Upon conversion of shares of Class B Common
Stock into Class A Common Stock, the shares of Class B Common Stock acquired by
the Corporation shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

       (ii)  No dividend shall be declared and paid with respect to Class A
Common Stock unless concurrently an equal and identical dividend is declared and
paid with respect to each share of Class B Common Stock, and no dividend shall
be declared and paid with respect to the Class B Common Stock 

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
unless concurrently an equal and identical dividend is declared and paid with
respect to each share of Class A Common Stock.

       (iii)   The Class A Common Stock shall have all the voting rights
provided under the Hawaii Business Corporation Act for voting common stock
except as otherwise provided in these Articles of Incorporation.

       (iv)    The Class B Common Stock shall have no right to vote on any
matter at any meeting of shareholders except (a) as required under the Hawaii
Business Corporation Act; and (b) if, notwithstanding the prohibition contained
in paragraph B(ii) of this Article IV, a dividend is declared and paid with
respect to the Class A Common Stock and an equal and identical dividend is not
declared and paid concurrently with respect to the Class B Common Stock, each
share of Class B Common Stock shall thereafter be entitled to vote in the
election of directors as if it were a share of Class A Common Stock. The
foregoing clause (b) shall not be deemed to limit the remedies available to a
holder of Class B Common Stock for a violation of the provisions of paragraph
B(ii) of this Article IV.

       (v)     The ownership or control of more than twenty-five percent (25%)
of the issued and outstanding voting capital stock of the Corporation by persons
who are not "citizens of the United States" as defined in Section 102(a)(15) of
the Transportation Act (49 U.S.C. 40101, et seq., the "Act") is prohibited;
                                         ------- 
provided, however, that such percentage shall be deemed to be automatically
increased or decreased from time to time to that percentage of ownership which
is then permissible by persons who are not "citizens of the United States" under
the Act or under any successor or other law of the United States of America
which provides for the regulation of, or is otherwise applicable to, the
Corporation or its subsidiaries in their business activities. As used in the
preceding sentence, capital stock of the Corporation means the Class A Common
Stock and any other shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on
matters generally referred to the shareholders for a vote.

       (vi)    A share of Class B Common Stock will automatically be converted
into a share of Class A Common Stock, on a share-for-share basis, upon
registration of transfer of such share of Class B Common Stock to a "citizen of
the United States" as defined in the Act. In addition, a Conversion Event shall
be deemed to occur if at any time after all distributions have been made
pursuant to the Corporation's Third Amended Plan of Reorganization dated August
29, 1994, as amended, the Corporation determines that the amount of Class A
Common Stock held by persons who are not "citizens of the United States" as
defined in the Act has decreased sufficiently to allow all then outstanding
shares of Class B Common Stock to convert into Class A Common Stock with the
result that all holders of Class A Common Stock and holders of rights, warrants,
options or convertible securities of the Corporation (other than Class B Common
Stock) exercisable to acquire, or convertible into, Class A Common Stock
(collectively, "Rights") who are not "citizens of the United States" as defined
in the Act will not own, in the aggregate, more than 24 percent of the
outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, assuming full exercise of all
outstanding Rights. Upon the occurrence of a Conversion Event, the Corporation
shall send a written notice of such occurrence to the holders of Class B Common
Stock at their addresses as they appear on the records of the Corporation's
stock transfer agent and each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall
automatically be deemed to represent one share of Class A Common Stock. After
the occurrence of a Conversion Event, each holder of a certificate which
theretofore represented Class B Common Stock shall be entitled upon surrender of
such certificate to receive one or more certificates representing the same
aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock as the number of shares of
Class B Common Stock represented by the surrendered certificate.

       (vii)   All shares of Common Stock, whether Class A Common Stock or Class
B Common Stock, shall rank equally in the event of liquidation of the
Corporation and shall be entitled to any assets of the Corporation available for
distribution to shareholders after payment in full of any preferential amount to
which holders of Preferred Stock may be entitled. For purposes of Section
1129(b)(2)(c)(ii) of Title 11 of the United States Code, neither the Class A
Common Stock nor the Class B Common Stock shall be deemed a class junior to the
other.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
C.   The total number of shares of Preferred Stock which this Corporation is
authorized to issue is two million (2,000,000) shares having a par value of $.01
each and which may be issued from time to time in one or more series.  Prior to
or simultaneously with the creation and/or issuance of any such series, the
Board of Directors is hereby authorized, subject to the Plan of Reorganization
and section 1123 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, to fix the voting powers,
designations, preferences and participating, optional, relative or other special
rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof to the full
extent permitted by the laws of the State of Hawaii, unless such voting powers,
designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof are otherwise established by these Amended Articles of
Incorporation.  Unless otherwise provided in the resolution creating a series,
all shares of that series redeemed, repurchased or otherwise reacquired, as well
as shares of a series authorized but not yet issued, shall thereupon, without
further action by the Board of Directors, be or become authorized but unissued
shares subject to all of the authority of the Board of Directors in this Article
IV provided.

D.   No holder of the shares of Common Stock shall have any preemptive or
preferential right of subscription for or to purchase any shares of any class of
stock or other securities of the Corporation, whether now or hereafter
authorized, other than such right or rights, if any, and upon such terms and at
such prices as the Board of Directors, in its discretion from time to time may
determine.  The Board of Directors may issue shares of Common Stock or other
securities without offering the same in whole or in part to the stockholders of
the Corporation.

E.   Sections 415-171 and 415-172 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, as amended,
relating to control share acquisitions, shall not apply to any acquisition of
shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

F.   No nonvoting equity securities of the Corporation shall be issued, subject
to further amendment of these Articles as permitted by the laws of the State of
Hawaii.  This provision is included in these Articles in compliance with section
1123 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and shall have no further force and
effect beyond that required by said section and for so long as said section is
in effect and applicable to the Corporation.


                                   ARTICLE V
                              BOARD OF DIRECTORS

If the Corporation has only one stockholder, the Board of Directors shall have
one or more directors.  If the Corporation has two stockholders, the Board of
Directors shall have two or more directors.  If the Corporation has three or
more stockholders, the Board of Directors shall have a minimum of three
directors.  Not less than one member of the Board of Directors shall be a
resident of the State of Hawaii, and in the absence of such one member, the
Board of Directors shall not function.  The number of directors shall be fixed
by, and the members of the Board of Directors shall be elected or appointed at
such times, in such manner and for such terms as may be prescribed by the Bylaws
which also may provide for the removal of directors and filling of vacancies and
may provide that the remaining members of the Board of Directors, although less
than a majority thereof, may by the affirmative vote of the majority of such
remaining members fill vacancies in the Board of Directors.  The directors need
not be stockholders of the Corporation.  The Board of Directors shall have full
power to control and direct the business and affairs of the Corporation,
subject, however, to any limitations which may be set forth in the Hawaii
Business Corporation Act, in these Articles or in the Bylaws.  The Board of
Directors, without the approval of the stockholders of the Corporation, or of
any percentage thereof, may authorize the borrowing of money or the incurring of
debts even though, as a result thereof, the amount of the Corporation's
indebtedness may exceed its capital stock.

                                  ARTICLE VI
                                   OFFICERS

The officers of the Corporation shall consist of a Chairman of the Board, a
President, one or more Vice Presidents as may be prescribed by the Bylaws, a
Corporate Secretary, a Treasurer and such other officers and assistant officers
and agents as may be prescribed by the Bylaws.  The officers shall be elected or
appointed, hold office and may be removed as may be prescribed by the Bylaws.
The Chairman of the Board shall be a director of the Corporation.  No other
officer and no subordinate officer need be a director of the Corporation.  No
officer need be a stockholder of the Corporation.  Any two or more offices may
be held by the same person, provided, however, that not less than two (2)
persons shall be officers.

All officers and agents of the Corporation, as between themselves and the
Corporation, shall have such authority and perform such duties in the management
of the Corporation as may be prescribed by the Bylaws, or as may be determined
by resolution of the Board of Directors not inconsistent with the Bylaws.


                                  ARTICLE VII
                       INDEMNITY AND LIMIT ON LIABILITY

A.   The Corporation shall indemnify each person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the
fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of
another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
this Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the person was unlawful.  The
termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea or nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of this Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.

B.   The Corporation shall indemnify each person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including any subsidiary
of the Corporation against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of this
Corporation and, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person's duty to
this Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such
action or suit was brought or in any other court having jurisdiction in the
premises shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court
shall deem proper.

C.   To the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation or a person
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
enterprise has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraph (A) or paragraph (B) of this
Article VII, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

D.   Any indemnification under paragraph A or paragraph B of this Article VII
shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
paragraph A or paragraph B.  Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board
of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not
obtainable by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the Corporation,
or (3) by a majority vote of the stockholders, or (4) by the court in which the
proceeding is or was pending upon application made by the Corporation or such
person or the attorney or other person rendering services in connection with the
defense, whether or not the application by such person, attorney, or other
person is opposed by the Corporation.

E.   Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or
proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of
such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in a
particular case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director
or officer to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he
is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article
Vll.

F.   Any indemnification pursuant to this Article VII shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be
entitled under any Bylaw, argument or otherwise and shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit
of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

G.   The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such
capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation
would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the
provisions of this Article VII.

H.   To the fullest extent permitted by the Hawaii Business Corporation Act as
the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall
not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director.  If the Hawaii Business Corporation Act
is amended after the date of the filing of these Articles of Incorporation to
authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation
shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Hawaii
Business Corporation Act, as so amended from time to time.  No repeal or
modification of this Article VII by the stockholders shall adversely affect any
right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing by virtue of this
Article VII at the time of such repeal or modification.

No stockholder of the Corporation shall be liable for any debt of the
Corporation beyond any amount which may be due and unpaid upon the par value of
the share or shares held by such stockholder.

                        DESIGNATION OF PREFERRED STOCK
                        ------------------------------

       Section 1.  Designation and Amount.  The shares of such series shall be
       ---------   ----------------------
designated as Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), and the number of shares
constituting such series shall be 20,000 (twenty thousand).

       Section 2.  Dividends and Distributions.
       ---------   ---------------------------

       (a) The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to
the holders of shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the
Corporation (the "Common Stock") and of any other junior stock of the
Corporation that may be outstanding, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and
if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the
purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the [tenth day of January,
April, July and October] in each year (each such date being referred to herein
as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share
of Series A Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest
cent) equal to the greater of (i) $.25 per share ($1.00 per annum), or (ii)
subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 1000 times the
aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 1000 times the aggregate
per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other
distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or a
subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of
Series A Preferred Stock. In the event that the Corporation shall at any time
declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock,
or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or
lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event, the amount
to which the holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock was entitled
immediately prior to such event under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence
shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that
were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

       (b)   The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the
Series A Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2
immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock
(other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided, however,
that in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the
Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and
the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $.25 per
share ($1.00 per annum) on the Series A Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be
payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

       (c)   Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next
preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, unless
the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall
begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of
issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date
for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled
to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date,
in either of which cases such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative
from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall
cumulate but shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the
time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-
by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of
Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or
distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

          Section 3.   Voting Rights.  The holders of shares of Series A 
          ---------    -------------  
Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

          (a)   Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder
thereof to 1000 votes (and each one one-thousandth of a share of Series A
Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote) on all matters
submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation. In the event that
the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock or effect a subdivision or combination or
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a
greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event,
the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by
multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the
denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

          (b)   Except as otherwise provided in the Amended Articles of
Incorporation of the Corporation or herein or by law, the holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote
together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the
Corporation.

          (c)   In addition, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall have the following special voting rights:

                (i)   In the event that at any time dividends on Series A
Preferred Stock, whenever accrued and whether or not consecutive, shall not have
been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside, in
an amount equivalent to six quarterly dividends on all shares of Series A
Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, then and in each such event, the
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each other series of preferred
stock now or hereafter issued that shall be accorded such class voting right by
the Board of Directors and that shall have the right to elect one director (or,
in the event any such other series is entitled to a greater number of directors,
such number of directors, which shall be cumulative with and not in addition to
the director provided for herein, such director or directors being hereinafter
referred to as "Special Directors") as the result of a prior or subsequent
default in payment of dividends on such series (each such other series being
hereinafter called "Other Series of Preferred Stock"), voting separately as a
class without regard to series, shall be entitled to elect the Special Director
at the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, in addition to
the directors to be elected by the holders of all shares of the Corporation
entitled to vote for the election of directors, and the holders of all shares
(including the Series A Preferred Stock) otherwise entitled to vote for
directors, voting separately as a class, shall be entitled to elect the
remaining members of the Board of Directors, provided that the Series A
Preferred Stock and each Other Series of Preferred Stock, voting as a class,
shall not have the right to elect more than one Special Director (in addition to
any Special Director to which the holders of any Other Series of Preferred Stock
are then entitled). Such special voting right of the holders of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock may be exercised until all dividends in default on the Series
A Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full or declared and funds sufficient
therefor set aside, and when so paid or provided for, such special voting right
of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease, but subject
always to the same provisions for the vesting of such special voting rights in
the event of any such future dividend default or defaults.

                (ii)  At any time after such special voting rights shall have so
vested in the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Secretary of
the Corporation may, and upon the written request of the holders of record of
10% or more in number of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each Other
Series of Preferred Stock then outstanding addressed to the Secretary at the
principal executive office of the Corporation shall, call a special meeting of
the holders of shares of Preferred Stock so entitled to vote, for the election
of the Special Directors to be elected by them as 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
herein provided, to be held within 60 days after such call and at the place and
upon the notice provided by law and in the Bylaws for the holding of meetings of
shareholders; provided, however, that the Secretary shall not be required to
call such special meeting in the case of any such request received less than 90
days before the date fixed for any annual meeting of shareholders, and if in
such case such special meeting is not called or held, the holders of shares of
Preferred Stock so entitled to vote shall be entitled to exercise the special
voting rights provided in this paragraph at such annual meeting. If any such
special meeting required to be called as above provided shall not be called by
the Secretary within 30 days after receipt of any such request, then the holders
of record of 10% or more in number of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
each Other Series of Preferred Stock then outstanding may designate in writing
one of their number to call such meeting, and the person so designated may, at
the expense of the Corporation, call such meeting to be held at the place and
upon the notice given by such person, and for that sole purpose shall have
access to the stock books of the Corporation. No such special meeting and no
adjournment thereof shall be held on a date later than 60 days before the annual
meeting of shareholders. If, at any meeting so called or at any annual meeting
held while the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock have the special
voting rights provided for in this paragraph, the holders of not less than 40%
of the aggregate voting power of Series A Preferred Stock and each Other Series
of Preferred Stock then outstanding are present in person or by proxy, which
percentage shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum for the election of
additional directors as herein provided, the then authorized number of directors
of the Corporation shall be increased by the number of Special Directors to be
elected, as of the time of such special meeting or the time of the first such
annual meeting held while such holders have special voting rights and such
quorum is present, and the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
each Other Series of Preferred Stock, voting as a class, shall be entitled to
elect the Special Director or Directors so provided for. If the directors of the
Corporation are then divided into classes under provisions of the Amended
Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation or the Bylaws, the Special Director
or Directors shall belong to each class of directors in which a vacancy is
created as a result of such increase in the authorized number of directors. If
the foregoing expansion of the size of the Board of Directors shall not be valid
under applicable law, then the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
of each Other Series of Preferred Stock, voting as a class, shall be entitled,
at the meeting of shareholders at which they would otherwise have voted, to
elect a Special Director or Directors to fill any then existing vacancies on the
Board of Directors, and shall additionally be entitled, at such meeting and each
subsequent meeting of shareholders at which directors are elected, to elect all
of the directors then being elected until by such class vote the appropriate
number of Special Directors has been so elected.

                (iii) Upon the election-at such meeting by the holders of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock and each Other Series of Preferred Stock, voting as
a class, of the Special Director or Directors they are entitled so to elect, the
persons so elected, together with such persons as may be directors or as may
have been elected as directors by the holders of all shares (including Series A
Preferred Stock) otherwise entitled to vote for directors, shall constitute the
duly elected directors of the Corporation. Each Special Director so elected by
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each Other Series of Preferred
Stock, voting as a class, shall serve until the next annual meeting or until
their respective successors shall be elected and qualified, or if any such
Special Director is a member of a class of directors under provisions dividing
the directors into classes, each such Special Director shall serve until the
annual meeting at which the term of office of such Special Director's class
shall expire or until such Special Director's successor shall be elected and
shall qualify, and at each subsequent meeting of shareholders at which the
directorship of any Special Director is up for election, said special class
voting rights shall apply in the reelection of such Special Director or in the
election of such Special Director's successor; provided, however, that whenever
the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each Other Series of
Preferred Stock shall be divested of the special rights to elect one or more
Special Directors as above provided, the terms of office of all persons elected
as Special Directors, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death,
resignation, or removal of Special Directors shall forthwith terminate (and the
number of directors shall be reduced accordingly).

                (iv)  If, at any time after a special meeting of shareholders or
an annual meeting of shareholders at which the holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and each Other Series of Preferred Stock, voting as a class,
have elected one or more Special Directors as provided 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
above, and while the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each
Other Series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled so to elect one or more
Special Directors, the number of Special Directors who have been so elected (or
who by reason of one or more resignations, deaths or removals have succeeded any
Special Directors so elected) shall by reason of resignation, death or removal
be reduced the vacancy in the Special Directors may be filled by any one or more
remaining Special Director or Special Directors. In the event that such election
shall not occur within 30 days after such vacancy arises, or in the event that
there shall not be incumbent at least one Special Director, the Secretary of the
Corporation may, and upon the written request of the holders of record of 10% or
more in number of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each Other Series
of Preferred Stock then outstanding addressed to the Secretary at the principal
office of the Corporation shall, call a special meeting of the holders of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock and each Other Series of Preferred Stock so entitled
to vote, for an election to fill such vacancy or vacancies, to be held within 60
days after such call and at the place and upon the notice provided by law and in
the Bylaws for the holding of meetings of shareholders; provided, however, that
the Secretary shall not be required to call such special meeting in the case of
any such request received less than 90 days before the date fixed for any annual
meeting of shareholders, and if in such case such special meeting is not called,
the holders of shares of Preferred Stock so entitled to vote shall be entitled
to fill such vacancy or vacancies at such annual meeting. If any such special
meeting required to be called as above provided shall not be called by the
Secretary within 30 days after receipt of any such request, then the holders of
record of 10% or more in number of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
each Other Series of Preferred Stock then outstanding may designate in writing
one of their number to call such meeting, and the person so designated may, at
the expense of the Corporation, call such meeting to be held at the place and
upon the notice above provided, and for that purpose shall have access to the
stock books of the Corporation; no such special meeting and no adjournment
thereof shall be held on a date later than 60 days before the annual meeting of
shareholders.

          (d)   Nothing herein shall prevent the directors or shareholders from
taking any action to increase the number of authorized shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, or increasing the number of authorized shares of Preferred
Stock of the same class as the Series A Preferred Stock or the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock, or changing the par value of the Common Stock
or Preferred Stock, or issuing options, warrants or rights to any class of stock
of the Corporation as authorized by the Amended Articles of Incorporation of the
Corporation, as it may hereafter be amended.

          (e)   Except as set forth herein, holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not
be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote as set forth in the
Amended Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation or herein or by law) for
taking any corporate action.

          Section 4.  Certain Restrictions.
          ---------   --------------------

          (a)   Whenever any dividends or other distributions payable on the
Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 hereof are in arrears,
thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether
or not declared, an shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have
been paid in full, the Corporation shall not, directly or indirectly:

                (i)   declare or pay dividends on, or make any other
distributions with respect to, any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A
Preferred Stock;

                (ii)  declare or pay dividends on, or make any other
distributions with respect to, any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either
as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series
A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in
arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such
shares are then entitled;

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
                (iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that the
Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any
such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking
junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up)
to the Series A Preferred Stock; or

                (iv)  purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares
of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the
Series A Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in
writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all
holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after
consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights
and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good
faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or
classes.

          (b)   The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the
Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration, directly or
indirectly, any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could,
under paragraph (a) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares
at such time and in such manner.

          Section 5.   Reacquired Shares.  Any shares of Series A Preferred 
          ---------    -----------------
Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner
whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof.
All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued
shares of preferred stock, without designation as to series, and may be reissued
as part of any series of preferred stock created by resolution or resolutions of
the Board of Directors (including Series A Preferred Stock), subject to the
conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

          Section 6.   Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.  Upon any 
          ---------    --------------------------------------
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall
be made to:

          (a)   the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A
Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall have received the greater of (i) $1.00 per share ($.001
per one one-thousandth of a share), plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid
dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of
such payment, or (ii) an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision
for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1000 times the aggregate amount
to be distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock; or

          (b)   the holders of shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A
Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series A Preferred
Stock and all other such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to
which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up.

          In the event that the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any
dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a
subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of
shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event, the aggregate amount to
which the holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock was entitled
immediately prior to such event under the proviso in clause (a) of the preceding
sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event, and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

          Section 7.  Consolidation, Merger, etc.  In the event that the 
          ---------   --------------------------
Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other
transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed
into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, or otherwise
changed, then and in each such event, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall at the same time 

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the
provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 1000 times the
aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable
in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock
is changed or exchanged. In the event that the Corporation shall at any time
declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock,
or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or
lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event, the amount
set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event, and the denominator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such
event.

          Section 8.   No Redemption.  The shares of Series A Preferred Stock 
          ---------    -------------
shall not be redeemable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may
acquire shares of Series A Preferred Stock in any other manner permitted by law,
the Amended Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation or herein.

          Section 9.   Rank.  Unless otherwise provided in the Amended Articles 
          ---------    ----
of Incorporation of the Corporation, including any amendment relating to a
subsequent series of preferred stock of the Corporation, the Series A Preferred
Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation's preferred stock
as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, and senior to the Common Stock of the Corporation.

          Section 10.  Amendment.  The Amended Articles of Incorporation of the
          ----------   ---------
Corporation shall not be amended in any manner that would materially and
adversely alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the
Series A Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting
together as a single series.

          Section 11.  Fractional Shares.  Series A Preferred Stock may be 
          ----------   -----------------
issued in fractions of a share (in one one-thousandths (1/1000) of a share and
integral multiples thereof) that shall entitle the holder thereof, in proportion
to such holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive
dividends, participate in distributions and have the benefit of all other rights
of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

                    DESIGNATION OF SPECIAL PREFERRED STOCK
                    --------------------------------------

          ---------    ---------------------------
dividend or distribution is declared and paid with respect to Common Stock, a
dividend shall be paid on the Special Preferred Stock in an amount per share
equal to twice the dividend per share paid on the Common Stock, and, except as

holder of record of less than 5% of the outstanding common equity interest of

agreement is amended, and each such date is referred to herein as the
"Conversion Date." The Transferee or the other holder of the converted Special

validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Corporation will pay any and
all documentary and other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or
delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock on conversion of the Special
Preferred Stock pursuant hereto. The Corporation shall not, however, be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issue and delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock in a name other than that
in which the shares of the Special Preferred Stock so converted were registered,
and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person

series of preferred stock subsequently created by resolution or resolutions of
the Board of Directors.

          Section 6.  Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.  In the event of

receive, out of the assets of the Corporation, whether such assets are capital
or surplus of any nature, $.01 per share of Special Preferred Stock before any
payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the Common
Stock or the holders of any other class of stock junior in respect of
liquidation rights to the Special Preferred Stock; and the holders of the
Special Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further payments. If upon
such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary,
the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof shall be insufficient to make
the full liquidating payment of $.01 per share of the Special Preferred Stock
and the full liquidating payment due to any holder of Preferred Stock of any
series ranking pari passu with the Special Preferred Stock, then such assets and
proceeds shall be distributed among the holders of the Special Preferred Stock,
ratably on a share for share basis in accordance with the respective amounts
which would be payable on all such series of Preferred Stock, if all remaining
liquidating amounts payable were paid in full and nothing shall be paid to the
holders of any other class of stock junior to the Special Preferred Stock.
Neither a consolidation nor merger of the Corporation with or into one or more
corporations, nor a sale of all or a substantial part of the assets of the
Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
within the meaning of this Section 6 unless such consolidation, 

                                       15

merger or sale shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the business of the Corporation.

Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other
transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed
into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, or otherwise
changed, then and in each such event, all shares of Special Preferred Stock
shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share
equal to the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other
property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each
share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged.

          Section 8.   No Redemption.  The shares of Special Preferred Stock 
          ---------    -------------
shall not be redeemable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may
acquire shares of Special Preferred Stock in any other manner permitted by law,
the Amended Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation or herein.

          Section 9.   Rank.  With regard to rights to receive distributions 
          ---------    ----
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Special
Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to the Common Stock of the Corporation,
(ii) senior to any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation the terms of
which specifically provide that such series shall rank junior to the Special
Preferred Stock, (iii) junior to any series of Preferred Stock of the
Corporation the terms of which specifically provide that such series shall rank
senior to the Special Preferred Stock, and (iv) pari passu with each other and
with any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation the terms of which do not
specifically provide that such series shall rank junior or senior to the Special
Preferred Stock.

          Section 10.  Preemptive Rights.  No holder of the shares of Special 
          ----------   -----------------
Preferred Stock shall have any preemptive or preferential rights of subscription
for or to purchase any shares of any class of stock or other securities of the
Corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized, other than such right or
rights, if any, and upon such terms and at such prices as the Board of
Directors, in its discretion from time to time may determine. The Board of
Directors may issue shares of Special Preferred Stock or other securities
without offering the same in whole or in part to the stockholders of the
Corporation.

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

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
          ------------   ------------------------------------------------

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

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 (1) recorded on the
books of the Corporation as provided in Section 6.02 of Article VI of these
                                        ------------
Bylaws and (2) 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 Class A Common
Stock and any future shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on
matters generally referred to the stockholders for a vote.

entitled to said notice may waive such notice in writing, either before or after

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

    1.  Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the 
Warrants or the Registration Rights Agreement;

    1.1  Incidental Registration Rights.  (a)  If the Company at any time
proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act by
registration on any form other than Forms S-4 or S-8 (or successor forms) and
other than in connection with an exchange offer or an offering of securities to
the Company's existing security holders, whether or not for sale for its own
account, it will each such time give prompt written notice to all Rightsholders
of its intention to do so and of such holders' rights, if any, under the
Warrants or the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable.

     (b)  In the event that pursuant to the Warrants or the Registration Rights
Agreement, as the case 
<PAGE>
 
may be, a Rightsholder has incidental registration rights at the time the notice
referred to in clause (a) above is delivered, then such Rightsholder shall have
the right, in accordance with the terms and conditions and subject to the
procedures of the Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement, as the case may
be, to cause the Company to use its best efforts to effect the registration
under the Securities Act of all securities which the Company has been so
requested to register by such Rightsholder.

   1.2  Priority in Incidental and Demand Registrations.  If the managing
underwriter of any underwritten offering shall inform the Company by letter of
its opinion that the number or type of securities requested to be included in
such registration would materially adversely affect such offering, and the
Company has so advised the Rightsholders that have requested pursuant to rights
granted in such Rightsholder's Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement, as
the case may be, to have securities registered in such offering, in writing,
then the Company will include in such registration, to the extent of the number
and type which the Company is so advised can be sold in (or during the time of)
such offering, first, all securities proposed by the Company to be sold for its
own account, second, all securities proposed to be sold for the account of the
Rightsholder (the "INITIATING RIGHTSHOLDER"), IF ANY, THAT, PURSUANT TO RIGHTS
GRANTED IN THE WARRANTS OR THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, AS THE CASE MAY
BE, INITIALLY REQUESTED THE COMPANY TO REGISTER SUCH SECURITIES, AND THIRD, SUCH
SECURITIES REQUESTED BY RIGHTSHOLDERS (OTHER THAN THE INITIATING RIGHTSHOLDER,
IF ANY) TO BE INCLUDED IN SUCH REGISTRATION PURSUANT TO RIGHTS GRANTED IN THE
WARRANTS AND/OR THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, AS THE CASE MAY BE, PRO RATA
(BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SECURITIES REQUESTED TO BE INCLUDED THEREIN BY EACH
RIGHTSHOLDER (OTHER THAN THE INITIATING RIGHTSHOLDER)) AMONG SUCH RIGHTSHOLDERS.

    2.  Waiver of Anti-Dilution Provisions.  Each of Anderson and Midkiff hereby
agrees that notwihtstanding Sections 3 and 4 of the Anderson Warrants and the
Midkiff Warrants, supplementing Section 4(b) of such Warrants, neither the
Current Warrant Price (as defined in such Warrants) nor the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants shall be adjusted as a
result of (i) the issuance of the AMR Warrants, (ii) the issuance and sale of
shares of Common Stock from time to time upon the exercise, in whole or in part,
of the AMR Warrants, or (iii) the issuance and sale of shares of Common Equity
(as defined in such Warrants) in connection with an offering of rights to
purchase Common Stock in 1996.
<PAGE>
 
    3.  Extension of Demand Registration. The Company hereby agrees that Section
8 of each of the Anderson Warrants and the Midkiff Warrants shall be amended to
delete the date "December 31, 1997" in the fifth line thereof and substitute in
lieu thereof the date "December 31, 1998."

     4. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company hereby agrees that it will not
hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is
inconsistent with the rights granted to the Rightsholders hereunder, under the
Warrants or under the Registration Rights Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company will not hereafter enter into any
agreement with respect to its securities which grants, or modify any existing
agreement with respect to its securities to grant, to the holder of its
securities in connection with a registration of such securities equal or higher
priority to the rights granted to the Rightsholders under this Agreement.

    5.  Restriction on Transfer of Warrants. (a) Anderson, Midkiff and AMR 
hereby agree that they shall not sell, give, assign or otherwise dispose of 
(whether by operation of law or otherwise) (each a "TRANSFER") any Warrants or 
any right, title or interest therein or thereto to any Person unless such Person
agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement. Any attempt to transfer any 
Warrants or any such rights in violation of the preceding sentence shall be null
and void ab initio.


    6.  Warrant Certificate Legend. A copy of this Agreement shall be filed with
the Corporate Secretary of the Company and kept with the records of the Company.
Each Warrant now held or hereafter acquired by Anderson, Midkiff and AMR shall 
for as long as this Agreement is effective bear a legend substantially in the 
following form:

     THE SALE, ASSIGNMENT OR OTHER DISPOSITION (EACH A "TRANSFER") OF THIS
     WARRANT IS RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS OF THE RIGHTSHOLDERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS
     OF JANUARY 31, 1996, BY AND AMONG THE COMPANY, AIRLINE INVESTORS
     PARTNERSHIP, L.P. AND THE HOLDERS OF WARRANTS OF THE COMPANY, A COPY OF
     WHICH MAY BE INSPECTED AT THE COMPANY'S PRINCIPAL OFFICE.  THE COMPANY WILL
     NOT REGISTER ON THE BOOKS OF THE COMPANY OR OTHERWISE EFFECT THE TRANSFER
     OF THIS WARRANT IF THE TRANSFER HAS NOT BEEN MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
     RIGHTSHOLDERS AGREEMENT.

     Anderson and Midkiff hereby agree that as soon as practicable after the
date hereof they shall present each 
<PAGE>
 
existing Warrant to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the Company's
principal office for the purpose of having the legend set forth in this Section
6 affixed thereto.

  7.  Representations of Anderson and Midkiff.

the Company that he has neither Transferred nor agreed to Transfer the Anderson
Warrants or any of them, in whole or in part, to any other person.

    7.2  Midkiff hereby represents and warrants to the other Rightsholders and

shall be validly given or made if made in accordance with the notice provisions 
of the relevant Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement, as the case may 
be.


   8.2  Amendment and Waiver.

   (a)  No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any
right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
remedy.  The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive
of any remedies that may be available to the parties hereto at law, in equity or
otherwise.

   (b) This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only with the
written consent of all parties hereto.

   8.3  Entire Agreement; No Expansion of Rights. This Agreement is intended by 
the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a 
complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the 
parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. Section 1 of 
this Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any Rightsholder 
any Registration Rights that are not expressly contained in such Rightsholder's 
Warrants or in the Registration Rights Agreement, as the case may be.
<PAGE>
 
   8.4 Continuing Effect of Agreements. This Agreement shall not constitute a 
waiver, amendment or modification of any other provisions of the Warrants or the
Registration Right Agreement not expressly referred to herein and shall not be 
construed as a waiver or consent to any further or future action on the part of 
the Company or the Rightsholders that would require a waiver or consent. Except 
as expressly amended or modified herein, the provisions of the Warrants and the 
provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement are and shall remain in full 
force and effect.

no further force or effect with respect to each Rightsholder at the first date 
on which such Rightsholder shall no longer have any Registration Rights. The 
remainder of this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and 
effect at such time as no Rightsholder owns any Warrants or shares of Common 
Stock.


   8.6 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN 
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE 
AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES
OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF.

the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and with respect to the 
Company, its successors and permitted assigns and, with respect to the
Rightsholder, any transferee of the Warrants as permitted hereunder and the
holder of any securities registrable pursuant to the AMR Warrants or the
Registration Rights Agreement. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Company
without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

  8.8  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

          5.2  REMEDIES.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any
               --------                                                        
time thereafter, Secured Party shall have all rights and remedies provided in
this Mortgage, any other agreements between Grantor and Secured Party, the
Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, all of which rights and
remedies may be exercised without notice to Grantor, all such 

                                      24
<PAGE>
 
notices being hereby waived, except such notice as is expressly provided for
hereunder or is not waivable under applicable law. All rights and remedies of
Secured Party are cumulative and not exclusive and are enforceable, in Secured
Party's discretion, alternatively, successively or concurrently on any one or
more occasions and in any order Secured Party may determine. Without limiting
the foregoing, Secured Party may (a) accelerate the payment of all Obligations
and demand immediate payment thereof to Secured Party; (b) with or without
judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on
or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the
Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any
portion of the Collateral; (c) require Grantor, at Grantor's expense, to
assemble and make available to Secured Party any part or all of the Collateral
at any place and time designated by Secured Party; (d) collect, foreclose,
receive, appropriate, set off and realize upon any and all Collateral; (e)
extend the time of payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, return of
merchandise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all accounts constituting
a part of the Collateral or other Collateral which includes a monetary
obligation and discharge or release the account debtor or other obligor, without
affecting any of the Obligations; and (f) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver
or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral (including, without limitation,
entering into contracts with respect thereto, by public or private sales at any
exchange, broker's board, any office of Secured Party or elsewhere) at such
prices or terms as Secured Party may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or
for future delivery, with the Secured Party having the right to purchase the
whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the
foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of Grantor, which
right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by
Grantor. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Secured Party upon credit
terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result
thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by Secured Party. If notice
of disposition of Collateral is required by law, five (5) days' prior notice by
Secured Party to Grantor designating the time and place of any public sale or
the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of
Collateral is to be made shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and
Grantor waives any other notice. If Secured Party institutes an action to
recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment
remedy, Grantor waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be
required.

          5.3  APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.  During the continuance of an Event of
               -----------------------

(including

respect thereto or otherwise chargeable to Grantor) and in such order as Secured
Party may elect, whether or not then due. Grantor shall remain liable to Secured
Party for the payment of any deficiency together with interest at the highest
rate provided for in the Note and all costs and expenses of collection or
enforcement, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses.

          5.4  SECURED PARTY'S CURE OF THIRD PARTY AGREEMENT DEFAULT.  During
               -----------------------------------------------------         
the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party may, at its option, cure
any default by Grantor under any agreement with a third party or pay or bond on
appeal any judgment entered against Grantor, discharge taxes, liens, security
interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on or existing with respect
to the Collateral and pay any amount incur any expense or perform any act which,
in Secured Party's sole judgment, is necessary or appropriate to preserve,
protect, insure, maintain or realize upon the Collateral.  Such amounts to be

               ------------------------------------------------

provide the Grantor with notice of any performance by the Secured Party taken
pursuant to this Section 5.5; provided, that the failure to give such notice
                              --------                                      
shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of such performance nor create
any liability on the part of the Secured Party.

     NOW, THEREFORE, to induce the Unions to enter into the Amended Collective

remove or replace directors on the Board of Directors), the AIP Stockholder
shall, at the request of any Union and to the extent permitted by law, take all
action necessary to implement comparable changes to the terms or structure of

<PAGE>
 
to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

provision in every other respect and of each remaining provision of the 
Agreement shall not be impaired thereby in any respect. The parties specifically
intend that all of the rights of the Unions under this Agreement shall be 
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

         5.8. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN 
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE

COMPANY'S STATE OF INCORPORATION SHALL APPLY.

         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 a AIP Successor unless the AIP Successor agrees in
writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement in the

<PAGE>
 
same manner as AIP. This Agreement is not assignable except in connection with a
transfer of Shares by AIP to an "affiliate," as defined in the  Charter 
Documents.

         5.11 Notice of Transfer. The AIP Stockholder shall provide the Company

transferees acting in concert) which acquires 10% or more of the Shares.

         5.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more 
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken

                            HAWAIIAN AIRLINES, INC.

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                           INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Indemnification Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as
of January 30, 1996, is made by and among Hawaiian Airlines, Inc., a Hawaii
corporation (the "Corporation"), Hawaiian Trust Company, Ltd. ("Trustee") and
_____________, a director in 1995 and/or currently a director/officer of the
Corporation ("Indemnitee").

                                    RECITALS

          A.   The Corporation and Indemnitee recognize that the present state
of the law is too uncertain to provide the Corporation's directors and officers
with adequate and reliable advance knowledge or guidance with respect to the
legal risks and potential liabilities to which they may become personally
exposed as a result of performing their duties for the Corporation;

          B.   The Corporation and Indemnitee are aware of the substantial
growth in the number of lawsuits filed against corporate directors and officers
in connection with their activities in such capacities and by reason of their
status as such;

          C.   The Corporation and Indemnitee recognize that the cost of
defending against such lawsuits, whether or not meritorious, is typically beyond
the financial resources of most directors and officers of the Corporation or far
outweighs the limited benefits of serving as a director and officer of the
Corporation;

          D.   The Corporation and Indemnitee recognize that the legal risks and
potential liabilities, and the threat thereof, associated with proceedings filed
against the directors and officers of the Corporation bear no reasonable
relationship to the amount of compensation received by the Corporation's
directors and officers;

          E.   The Corporation, after reasonable investigation prior to the date
hereof, has determined that the liability insurance coverage available to the
Corporation as of the date hereof may be inadequate, unreasonably expensive or
both.  The Corporation believes, therefore, that the interest of the
Corporation's shareholders would be best served by a combination of (i) such
insurance as the Corporation may obtain pursuant to the Corporation's
obligations hereunder and (ii) a contract with its directors and officers,
including Indemnitee, to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law
(as in effect on the date hereof, or, to the extent any amendment may expand
such permitted indemnification, as hereafter in effect) against personal
liability for actions taken in the performance of their duties to the
Corporation;
<PAGE>
 
          F.   Section 415-5 of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act (the "HBC
Act") empowers Hawaii corporations to indemnify their directors and officers and
further states that the indemnification provided by Section 415-5 "shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled
under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, both as to action in a person's official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be an agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and
personal representatives of such a person";

          G.   The Corporation's Restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation
authorize the indemnification of the directors and officers of the Corporation
in excess of that expressly permitted by Section 415-5 of the HBC Act, subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 415-48.5 of the HBC Act;

          H.   The Board of Directors of the Corporation has concluded that, to
retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to serve as directors
and officers of the Corporation and to encourage such individuals to take the
business risks necessary for the success of the Corporation, it is necessary for
the Corporation to contractually indemnify its directors and officers, and to
assume for itself liability for expenses and damages in connection with claims
against such directors and officers in connection with their service to the
Corporation, and has further concluded that the failure to provide such
contractual indemnification could result in great harm to the Corporation and
its shareholders;

          I.   The Corporation previously requested Indemnitee to serve or
continue to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation, free from undue
concern for the risks and potential liabilities associated with such services to
the Corporation;

          J.   Certain Indemnitees have been willing to serve, or continue to
serve, the Corporation, provided, and on the express condition, that they are
furnished with the indemnification provided for herein;

          K.   For the foregoing reasons, the Company, Indemnitee and Trustee
previously entered into that certain Indemnification Agreement dated as of June
13, 1995 (the "Indemnification Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed
to provide Indemnitee with indemnification, subject to the terms and conditions
of the Indemnification Agreement, and the Company and Trustee previously entered
into that certain Trust Agreement dated as of June 13, 1995 (the "Trust
Agreement") which provides for funding for the Company's obligations under the
Indemnification Agreement; and

          L.   The Board of Directors of the Corporation has concluded that it
is in the best interests of the Corporation to terminate the Trust Agreement,
and therefore, to amend and restate the Indemnification Agreement pursuant to
Section 20 to delete 

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
Section 9 of the Indemnification Agreement and any other references to the Trust
or Trustee contained herein.

                                   AGREEMENT

          NOW THEREFORE, the Corporation, Trustee and Indemnitee hereby amend
and restate the Indemnification Agreement in its entirety as follows:

          1.     Definitions.

          (a) "Expenses" means, for the purposes of this Agreement, all direct
and indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without
limitation, any fees and disbursements of Indemnitee's counsel, accountants and
other experts and other out-of-pocket costs) actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, preparation, defense or appeal
of a Proceeding; provided, however, that Expenses shall not include judgments,
                 -----------------                                            
fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding unless such
matters may be indemnified under applicable provisions of the HBC Act.

          (b) "Proceeding" means, for the purposes of this Agreement, any
threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (including actions, suits or proceedings brought
by or in the right of the Corporation) in which Indemnitee may be or may have
been involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is
or was a director or officer of the Corporation, by reason of any action taken
by him or of any inaction on his part while acting as such director or officer
or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another foreign or
domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or
was a director and/or officer of the foreign or domestic corporation which was a
predecessor corporation to the Corporation or of another enterprise at the
request of such predecessor corporation, whether or not he is serving in such
capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which
indemnification or reimbursement can be provided under this Agreement.

          2.     Indemnification.

          (a) Third Party Proceedings.  To the fullest extent permitted by law,
the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee against Expenses or liabilities of
any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, penalties
and amounts paid in settlement (if the settlement is approved in advance by the
Corporation)) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with
a Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation) if
Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect
to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee's
conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that
Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or,
with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that
Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
indemnification shall be made in any criminal proceeding where Indemnitee has
been adjudged guilty unless a disinterested majority of the directors determine
that Indemnitee did not receive, participate in or share in any pecuniary
benefit to the detriment of the Corporation and, in view of all the
circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for Expenses or liabilities.

          (b) Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation.  To the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee against
Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the
defense or settlement of a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a
manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation and its shareholders.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of Indemnitee's duty to the
Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such
Proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses as
the court deems proper.

          3.  Limitations on Indemnification. Any other provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement:

               (a) Excluded Acts.  To indemnify Indemnitee for any acts or
         omissions or transactions from which a director and officer may not be
         relieved of liability under Section 415-48.5 of the HBC Act or for
         Expenses, judgments, penalties, or other payments incurred in an
         administrative proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate
         regulatory agency which proceeding or action results in a final order
         assessing civil money penalties or requiring affirmative action by an
         individual or individuals in the form of payments to the Corporation;
         or

               (b) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance
         Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to Proceedings or claims initiated
         or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except
         with respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to
         indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or
         otherwise as required under Section 415-5 of the HBC Act, but such
         indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be provided by the
         Corporation in specific cases if a 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
         disinterested majority of the directors has approved the initiation or
         bringing of such suit; or

               (c) Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses
         incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by
         Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of
         competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions
         made by Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was
         frivolous; or

               (d) Insured Claims. To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses or
         liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to,
         judgments, fines or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which
         have been paid directly to or on behalf of Indemnitee by an insurance
         carrier under a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance
         maintained by the Corporation or any other policy of insurance
         maintained by the Corporation or Indemnitee, or otherwise indemnified
         and actually paid other than pursuant to this Agreement; or

               (e) Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for
         Expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale
         by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor
         statute.

          4.   Determination of Right to Indemnification.  Upon receipt of a
written claim addressed to the Board of Directors for indemnification pursuant
to Section 2 of this Agreement, the Corporation shall determine by any of the
methods set forth in Section 415-5(e) of the HBC Act whether Indemnitee has met
the applicable standard of conduct which makes it permissible under applicable
law to indemnify Indemnitee.  If a claim under Section 2 of this Agreement is
not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after such written claim
has been received by the Corporation, Indemnitee may at any time thereafter
bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim
and, unless such action is dismissed by the court as frivolous or brought in bad
faith, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting
such claim.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to make a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of
Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the
applicable standard of conduct under applicable law, nor an actual determination
by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel
or its shareholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable
standard of conduct.  The court in which such action is brought shall determine
whether Indemnitee or the Corporation shall have the burden of proof concerning
whether Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

          5.   Advancement and Repayment of Expenses.  The Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in defending and investigating any Proceeding shall be paid by 

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding within
thirty days after receiving from Indemnitee copies of invoices presented to
Indemnitee for such Expenses. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay to the
Corporation the amount of any Expenses theretofore paid to the extent it is
ultimately determined that such Expenses were not reasonable or that Indemnitee
is not entitled to indemnification. In determining whether or not to make an
advance hereunder, the ability of Indemnitee to repay shall not be a factor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in a proceeding brought by the Corporation
directly, in its own right (as distinguished from an action brought derivatively
or by any receiver or trustee), the Corporation shall not be required to make
the advances called for hereby if a majority of the disinterested directors
determine that it does not appear that Indemnitee has met the standards of
conduct which made it permissible under applicable law to indemnify Indemnitee
and the advancement of Expenses would not be in the best interests of the
Corporation and its shareholders.

          6.   Partial Indemnification.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification or advancement by the Corporation
of some or a portion of any Expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement) incurred by him or her in the investigation, defense, settlement or
appeal of a Proceeding, but is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of
the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify or pay
advancements to Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses or liabilities to
which Indemnitee is entitled.

          7.   Notice to Corporation by Indemnitee.  Indemnitee shall notify the
Corporation in writing of any matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends to
seek indemnification hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable following the
receipt by Indemnitee of written notice thereof; provided that any delay in so
notifying Corporation shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of his rights
hereunder.  The written notification to the Corporation shall be addressed to
the Board of Directors and shall include a description of the nature of the
Proceeding and the facts underlying the Proceeding and be accompanied by copies
of any documents filed with the court in which the Proceeding is pending.  In
addition, Indemnitee shall give the Corporation such information and cooperation
as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee's power.

          8.   Maintenance of Liability Insurance.

          (a) The Corporation hereby agrees that so long as Indemnitee shall
continue to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation and thereafter so
long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding, the Corporation,
subject to Section 8(b) of this Agreement, shall use its best efforts to obtain
and maintain, or have an affiliate obtain and maintain, in full force and effect
directors' and officers' liability insurance ("D&O Insurance") which provides
Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably
insured of the Corporation's directors.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall have no
obligation to obtain or maintain D&O Insurance if the Corporation determines in
good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, the premium costs
for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, the
coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an
insufficient benefit, or Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained
by a subsidiary or parent of the Corporation.

          (c) Notice to Insurers.  If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of
a claim pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Corporation has D&O Insurance in
effect, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such
Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
respective policies.  The Corporation shall thereafter take all necessary or
desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all
amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of
such policies.

          9.   Termination of Rights and Obligations under Trust Agreement.
This Agreement, though signed by Trustee to reflect the amendment, eliminates
the ability of the Indemnitee to look to Trustee for indemnification if the
Company fails to provide indemnification hereunder.

the Corporation contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is
a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director, officer, fiduciary, employee or agent of another

continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible
proceeding by means of the fact that Indemnitee served in any capacity referred
to herein.

          13.  Non-exclusivity; Subrogation Rights.

          (a) The provisions for indemnification and advancement of expenses set

and Amended Articles of Incorporation or Amended Bylaws, the vote of the
Corporation's 

                                       7

shareholders or disinterested directors, other agreements or otherwise, both as
to action in his or her official capacity and action in another capacity while
occupying his or her position as a director and officer of the Corporation.

          (b) In the event Indemnitee shall receive payment from any insurance
carrier or from a third party in any Proceeding against such Indemnitee in
respect of indemnified amounts paid hereunder by the Corporation after payment
on account of all or part of such indemnified amounts have been made by the
Corporation pursuant hereto, Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse to the
Corporation the amount, if any, by which the sum of such payment by such
insurance carrier or such third party and payments by the Corporation or
pursuant to arrangements made by the Corporation to Indemnitee exceeds such
indemnified amounts; provided, however, that such portions, if any, of such
                     --------  -------                                     
insurance proceeds that are required to be reimbursed to the insurance carrier
under the terms of its insurance policy, such as deductibles or co-insurance
payments, shall not be deemed to be payments to Indemnitee hereunder.

          (c) In the event of a payment under this Agreement, the Corporation
shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of
recovery of Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall execute and deliver all papers
required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights,
including, without limitation, the execution of such documents as may be
necessary to enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such
rights.

          (d) In the event of any changes, after the date of this Agreement, in
any applicable law, statute, or rule which narrows the right of a Hawaii
corporation to indemnify a director and officer, such changes, to the extent not
otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement,
shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties' rights and obligations
hereunder.

          14.  Effectiveness of Agreement.  This Agreement shall be effective as
of the date set forth on the first page and may apply to acts or omissions of
Indemnitee which occurred prior to such date if Indemnitee was a director,

request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, at the time
such act or omission occurred.

          15.  Severability.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require
or shall be construed as requiring the Corporation to do or fail to do any act
in violation of applicable law.  The Corporation's inability pursuant to court
order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a
breach of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable
as provided in this Section 15.  If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall
be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent
permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
been invalidated, and the balance of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be
enforceable in accordance with its terms.

          16.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced
in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii.

          17.  Notice.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications

          18.  Mutual Acknowledgment.  Both the Corporation and Indemnitee
acknowledge that in certain instances, federal law or applicable public policy
may prohibit the Corporation from indemnifying its directors and officers under
this Agreement or otherwise.  Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the
Corporation has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with
the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification
to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Corporation's
right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

          19.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

          20.  Amendment and Termination.  No amendment, modification,

          REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR QUALIFIED UNDER OTHER
          SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT OR SUCH

                            HAWAIIAN AIRLINES, INC.

                                WARRANT FOR THE
                         PURCHASE OF 948,973 SHARES OF
                               CLASS A COMMON STOCK


                                   VOID AFTER
                               SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
                             ______________________

For value received, this Warrant entitles AMR Corporation ("AMR") and its
                    successors and assigns, subject to the terms and conditions
                    hereinafter set forth, to purchase from Hawaiian Airlines,
                    Inc. ("Hawaiian") 948,973 fully paid and nonassessable
                    shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of
                    Hawaiian (the "Class A Common Stock"), subject to adjustment
                    as hereinafter provided upon payment therefor to Hawaiian of
                    $1.10 per share (the "Warrant Price"), subject to adjustment
                    as hereinafter provided (this "Warrant").  This is one of
                    two warrants issued concurrently to AMR for the purchase of
                    Class A Common Stock which collectively are referred to
                    herein as the "AMR Warrants."

                    THE SALE, ASSIGNMENT OR OTHER DISPOSITION (EACH A
                    "TRANSFER") OF THIS WARRANT IS RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS OF
                    THE RIGHTSHOLDERS AGREEMENT (THE "RIGHTSHOLDERS AGREEMENT"),
                    DATED AS OF JANUARY 31, 1996, BY AND AMONG THE COMPANY,
                    AIRLINE INVESTORS PARTNERSHIP, L.P. AND THE HOLDERS OF
                    WARRANTS OF HAWAIIAN, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE INSPECTED AT
                    HAWAIIAN'S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. THE COMPANY WILL NOT REGISTER
                    ON THE BOOKS OF THE COMPANY OR OTHERWISE EFFECT THE TRANSFER
                    OF THIS WARRANT IF THE TRANSFER HAS NOT BEEN MADE IN
                    COMPLIANCE WITH THE RIGHTSHOLDERS AGREEMENT.

          1. EXERCISE.
             -------- 

          (a) Subject to Section 1(d), this Warrant is exercisable at the option
of the holder hereof in whole or in part from time to time on or before
September 11, 2001.

          (b) Before the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise
the same, he shall surrender this Warrant at the principal office of Hawaiian
accompanied by funds payable by cash, a certified check, bank cashiers check or
wire transfer to an account designated by Hawaiian in the amount of the Warrant
Price payable upon such exercise plus any tax or taxes payable or which may be
payable by such holder in respect of such exercise, 
<PAGE>
 
                                                                  Warrant No. 12

and shall give written notice (the "Exercise Notice") to Hawaiian at such office
that such holder elects to exercise this Warrant, and shall state therein the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such
exercise and the name or names in which he wishes the certificate or
certificates for such shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities to be
issued. Hawaiian will, as soon as practicable after such surrender of this
Warrant accompanied by the written notice and the statement described above,
requisition from the then transfer agent for Hawaiian a certificate or
certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance and delivery to or
on the written order of the registered holder of such Warrant and in such name
or names as such registered holder may designate. Such certificate or
certificates shall represent the number of whole shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable on such exercise, together with a cash amount for any fraction of a
share of Class A Common Stock otherwise issuable on such exercise and shall be
delivered as directed by the holder of the Warrant in the Exercise Notice no
later than five Business Days after exercise.

          (c) Certificates representing such shares shall be deemed to have been
issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have
become a holder of record of such shares as of the date of surrender of a
Warrant and payment of the Warrant Price as provided herein, provided that if,
                                                             --------         
at the date of surrender of such Warrant and payment of such Warrant Price, the
transfer books for the Class A Common Stock or other class of stock purchasable
on the exercise of such Warrant shall be closed, the certificates for the shares
in respect of which such Warrant is then exercised shall be issuable as of the
date on which such books shall next be opened and until such date, Hawaiian
shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such shares.  The Warrant
shall be exercisable at the election of the registered holder thereof, either as
an entirety or from time to time for part of the number of whole shares
specified in the Warrant, but in no event shall fractional shares be issued.  In
the event of any partial exercise, a new Warrant will be issued to the
registered holder to evidence such holder's Warrant to purchase the number of
shares as to which the Warrant has not been exercised.  No adjustment shall be
made for any cash dividends on shares issuable on the exercise of any Warrant.

          (d) This Warrant may not be exercised until American Airlines,
Inc.("American"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AMR, and Hawaiian enter into a
binding code sharing arrangement permitting Hawaiian to add American's flight
designations to Hawaiian's interisland flights (other than the Honoulu to Maui
segment) (a "Code Share"). This Warrant may not be exercised after Decenber 31,
1996, if  American  and Hawaiian fail, after good faith negotiations, to enter
into a Code Share prior to January 1, 1997.

          2.  TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.
              --------------------- 

          (a) This Warrant may be transferred at the principal office of
Hawaiian upon its surrender by the holder thereof in person or by attorney duly
authorized in writing.  Upon such surrender, a new Warrant or new Warrants of
different denominations will be issued to the transferee or transferees, dated
the date of such surrender, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase a like number of shares of Class A Common Stock (after giving
effect to any adjustments therein).

          (b) This Warrant may be exchanged at the principal office of Hawaiian
upon surrender by the holder hereof in person or by attorney duly authorized in
writing, for another Warrant or other Warrants of different denominations, dated
the date of such surrender, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase a like number of shares of Class A Common Stock (after giving
effect to any adjustments therein).

                                                                  Warrant No. 12

Hawaiian shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or
exchange which will result in the issuance of a Warrant to purchase only a
fraction of a share.

          3. ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES.
             ------------------------------ 

          (a) Upon any adjustment of the Current Warrant Price, as provided in
Section 4 hereof, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be determined by dividing (i) the result obtained
by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment
by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the Warrant Price resulting
from such adjustment.

          (b) No adjustment in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least one percent in such number; provided that any
                                                             --------         
adjustments which by reason of this Section 3(b) are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

          4. ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE.
             --------------------------- 

          (a) In case Hawaiian shall at any time (i) issue or sell any shares of
Common Equity (which term for all purposes hereof shall mean and include stock
of Hawaiian of any class or series, whether now or hereafter authorized, the
holders of which shall be entitled to participate in the distribution of
earnings and assets of Hawaiian without limit as to amount or percentage,
including Class A Common Stock, unless the holders of such stock shall be
entitled to receive dividends or amounts distributable upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, senior in preference or priority
to the holders of any outstanding stock of Hawaiian of any other class or
series) without consideration, or for consideration per share less than the
Current Market Price (determined as hereinafter provided), or (ii) issue or sell
any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Equity
("Convertible Securities") at a conversion price per share of Common Equity less
than the Current Market Price, or (iii) issue or sell any warrants or other
rights to subscribe to or purchase, or any options for the purchase of shares of
Common Equity or Convertible Securities ("Rights or Options") at an exercise
price per share of Common Equity less than the Current Market Price, then, and
thereafter successively upon each such issuance or sale, except as provided
below, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale
(the "Current Warrant Price") shall simultaneously with such issuance or sale be
reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying:
(A) the Current Warrant Price by (B) a fraction of which the numerator shall be
the aggregate number of shares of Common Equity outstanding immediately prior to
such issuance or sale plus the number of shares of Common Equity which the
aggregate consideration for the total number of shares of Common Equity,
Convertible Securities and Rights or Options issued or sold as aforesaid would
purchase at the Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the
aggregate number of shares of Common Equity outstanding immediately prior to
such issuance or sale, plus the number of shares of Common Equity issued or sold
as aforesaid and the maximum number of shares of Common Equity issuable with
respect to such Convertible Securities and Rights or Options issued or sold as
aforesaid.

          In case Hawaiian shall at any time distribute to holders of Common
Equity, as such, (i) evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular cash
dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated retained earnings)
of Hawaiian or any corporation or other legal entity a majority of the voting
equity securities or equity interests of which are 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
                                                                  Warrant No. 12

owned, directly or indirectly, by Hawaiian (a "Subsidiary"), (ii) shares of
capital stock of any Subsidiary, (iii) securities convertible into or
exchangeable for capital stock of any Subsidiary, or (iv) any rights, options,
or warrants to purchase any of the foregoing, then and thereafter successively
upon each distribution, the Current Warrant Price shall, simultaneously with
such distribution, be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest cent)
determined by multiplying, (A) the Current Warrant Price by (B) a fraction, the
numerator of which will be the Current Market Price less the fair value (as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Hawaiian, whose
determination will be conclusive if based on the financial advice of a
nationally recognized investment banking firm) of the portion of the evidences
of indebtedness, assets, securities, or rights, options, or warrants so
distributed on account of one share of Common Equity on the record date for such
distribution, and the denominator of which will be such Current Market Price.
Such adjustment will be made whenever any such distribution is made, and will
become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Current
Warrant Price shall be made in any case in which Hawaiian shall issue (i)
employee stock options, (ii) shares of Common Equity upon conversion or exchange
of any Convertible Securities, (iii) shares of Common Equity or Convertible
Securities upon exercise of any Rights or Options, (iv) in consideration of the
acquisition by Hawaiian or any subsidiary of all or substantially all of the
stock of another company or all or substantially all the assets of another
company (whether by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise), any shares of
Common Equity or any Convertible Securities or any Rights or Option or (v)
shares of Common Equity pursuant to the proposed offering by Hawaiian of
nontransferable rights to purchase Class A Common Stock (the "Rights Offering")
to be made to the Company's shareholders and to holders of options under its
stock option plan and reasonably anticipated for February or March of 1996, but
only to the extent that the number shares of Common Equity issued in the Rights
Offering does not exceed the number of shares held by such shareholders plus the
number of shares issuable on exercise of such options.

          (c) Calculations pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof shall be made in
accordance with the following provisions:

               (i) "Current Market Price" on any day shall mean the average of
     the daily closing prices of the Class A Common Stock for the 30 consecutive
     business days commencing 35 business days before the day in question.  The
     closing price for each day shall be the last reported sale price regular
     way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such date, the average
     of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on
     the American Stock Exchange, or, if such stock is not listed or admitted to
     trading on such exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on
     which such stock is listed or admitted to trading, or if not listed or
     admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the
     closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as furnished
     by any national brokerage firm selected from time to time by Hawaiian for
     that purpose.  For the purposes of the foregoing provision, the term
     "business day" shall not include any day on which securities are not traded
     on such exchange or in such market.

               (ii) In case of the issuance or sale of any securities of
     Hawaiian for cash, the consideration received by Hawaiian therefor shall be
     deemed to be the amount of cash received by Hawaiian for such security (or
     if such securities are offered by Hawaiian for subscription, the
     subscription price, or, if such securities are sold to underwriters or
     dealers for public offering without a subscription offer, the

                                                                  Warrant No. 12

     initial public offering price), without deducting therefrom any
     compensation or discount paid or allowed to underwriters or dealers or
     others performing similar services or for any expenses incurred in
     connection therewith.

               (iii)  In case of the issuance or sale of any securities of
     Hawaiian for consideration other than cash or a consideration a part of
     which is other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash
     received by Hawaiian for such securities shall be deemed to be the fair
     value of such consideration as determined by its Board of Directors, which
     determination may be inconsistent with the accounting treatment thereof.

               (iv) In case of the issuance or sale of Convertible Securities,
     the aggregate consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the
     consideration, if any, received at the time of such issuance or sale, plus
     the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable
     to Hawaiian upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities
     at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or
     exchangeable.

               (v) In case of the issuance or sale of Rights or Options, the
     aggregate consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the consideration,
     if any, received at the time of such issuance or sale, plus the minimum
     aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Hawaiian
     upon the exercise of such Rights or Options, plus, in the case of Rights or
     Options to purchase Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of
     additional consideration, if any, payable to Hawaiian upon the conversion
     or exchange of such Convertible Securities at the time such Convertible
     Securities first become convertible or exchangeable.

               (vi) In case of the issuance or sale of Convertible Securities or
     Rights or Options, the conversion or exercise price per share of Common
     Equity shall be determined by dividing the aggregate consideration for such
     Convertible Securities or Rights or Options by the maximum number of shares
     of Common Equity issuable with respect to such Convertible Securities or
     Rights or Options.

               (vii)  The maximum number of shares of Common Equity issuable
     with respect to Convertible Securities or Rights or Options shall include
     the number of shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of such
     Convertible Securities or exercise of such Rights or Options, plus, in the
     case of Rights or Options to purchase Convertible Securities, the number of
     shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

               (viii)  In case of the issuance of additional shares of Common
     Equity as a dividend or as the distribution on any capital stock of
     Hawaiian, the aggregate number of shares of Common Equity issued in payment
     of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued on the
     record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
     dividend or distribution and shall be deemed to have been issued without
     consideration.

               (ix) The reclassification of securities other than Common Equity
     into securities including Common Equity shall be deemed to involve the
     issuance for consideration other than cash of such Common Equity on the
     record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
     Common Equity.

               (x) The number of shares of Common Equity at any time outstanding
     shall include the maximum number of shares issuable at such time with
     respect to all Convertible Securities and Rights or Options then
     outstanding and unconverted or unexchanged or unexercised.

               (xi) No adjustment provided for in Section 4(a) hereof shall be
     made if it results in an increase in the Current Warrant Price above the
     initial Warrant Price as adjusted only as provided in Section 4(d) hereof.

          (d) In case the outstanding shares of Common Equity shall be
subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Equity, the Current Warrant
Price shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be
proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of
Common Equity shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common
Equity, the Current Warrant Price shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness
of such combination, be proportionately increased.

          (e) Whenever the Current Warrant Price shall be adjusted as herein
provided, and from time to time, at the reasonable request of the holder hereof,
Hawaiian will forthwith deliver to such holder a certificate signed by the
President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of
Hawaiian, showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring any such adjustment
and stating the Current Warrant Price in effect on the date of such certificate
after giving effect to any such adjustment and the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock or other securities then purchaseable upon the exercise hereof.
Hawaiian may retain a firm of independent public accountants of recognized
standing, selected by its Board of Directors to make any computation required
under this Section 4, and the certificate signed by such firm shall be
conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such computation.

          5.  CAPITAL REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION OR MERGER.  In case the
              --------------------------------------------------              
Class A Common Stock shall be changed into another kind of capital stock of
Hawaiian (otherwise than through a subdivision or combination of shares) or
shall represent the right to receive some other security or property as a result
of any capital reorganization, reclassification or merger into or consolidation
with another company, or sale of all or substantially all the assets of Hawaiian
to another company, this Warrant shall (subject to further adjustments in the
Warrant Price as herein provided) thereafter entitle the holder hereof to
acquire upon exercise hereof the kind and number of shares of stock or other
securities or property to which such holder would have been entitled if such
holder had held the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or sale of assets.

          6.  RESERVATION OF SHARES.  Hawaiian shall at all times reserve and
              ---------------------                                          
keep available, out of its treasury stock or authorized and unissued stock,
solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, such number of
shares of Class A Common Stock and other securities of Hawaiian as shall, from
time to time, be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant.  All shares
of Class A Common Stock issued on exercise of this Warrant shall be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

          7.  HOLDER OF WARRANT.  Hawaiian may deem and treat the person in
              -----------------                                            
whose name this Warrant is registered as the absolute owner hereof for all
purposes and Hawaiian shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.  No
holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be entitled to vote on or be deemed for
any purpose the holder of Class A Common Stock or any other securities of
Hawaiian which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof.

          8.  DEMAND REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  As soon as practicable after
              --------------------------                               
Hawaiian's receipt of a request, made at any time before September 11, 2001, of
holders of Class A Common Stock heretofore issued upon exercise of AMR Warrants
and/or of then exercisable AMR Warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock
aggregating not less than five hundred thousand shares to register such shares
of Class A Common Stock ("Registrable Securities") under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), Hawaiian shall cause a registration statement to
be filed with respect to the number of such shares specified in the request and
shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become
effective.  Hawaiian shall not be required to cause more than two registration
statements to be filed pursuant to this Section 8.  Hawaiian shall be entitled
to include other securities of Hawaiian to be offered by Hawaiian or other
stockholders of Hawaiian, in such registration statement; provided, however,
                                                          --------  ------- 
that such stockholders or holders of AMR Warrants requesting registration
pursuant to this Section 8 may request that any such other securities of
Hawaiian not be included in the registration statement if they shall be advised
by the investment banking firm managing the underwriting that it reasonably
believes that such inclusion would adversely affect the offering of the shares
to be covered by the proposed registration statement.  Hawaiian shall be
entitled to postpone the filing of any such registration statement for a
reasonable period of time if (a) Hawaiian is, at the time at which it receives
any such request, conducting or, within 60 days of receipt by Hawaiian of such
notice, is about to conduct an offering of its securities and Hawaiian
reasonably believes that such offering would be adversely affected by the
registration requested, (b) such request is received by Hawaiian within six
months after the effective date of a registration statement of Hawaiian and,
prior to the filing of such registration statement, Hawaiian has complied with
its obligations under Section 9 hereof, or (c) the filing of the registration
statement would require Hawaiian to furnish audited financial statements other
than the audited financial statements customarily prepared at the end of its
fiscal year or unaudited financial information with respect to any period other
than its regularly reported interim quarterly periods.

          9.  PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
              ------------------------------ 

          (a) From the date hereof and on or before September 11, 2001, at any
time Hawaiian proposes to file a registration statement under the Act with
respect to an offering by Hawaiian, for its own account or the account of its
shareholders, of shares of Class A Common Stock (other than the Rights Offering,
a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any substitute form that may be
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")) or filed
in connection with an exchange offer or an offering of securities solely to
Hawaiian's existing security holders), then Hawaiian shall in each such case
give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of the AMR Warrants
and holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable (but in no event
less than 30 days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall
offer such holders the opportunity to register such shares of Registrable
Securities as such holder may request.

          (b) Hawaiian shall use its best efforts to cause any managing
underwriter or underwriters of such proposed underwritten offering to permit the
Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration statement
for such offering to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar
securities of Hawaiian included therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering advise Hawaiian that they
reasonably believe that the success of the offering would be materially and
adversely affected by inclusion of the Registrable Securities and the inclusion
of other shares requested to be included, such amount of Registrable Securities
as shall be required to substantially eliminate the adverse effect in the
judgment of the managing underwriter or underwriters, will be excluded from such
offering as provided in the

                                                                  Warrant No. 12

Rightsholders Agreement. In the case of a non-underwritten offering, Hawaiian
may decline to include any Registrable Securities in a registration statement
pursuant to Section 9(a) if it reasonably believes that such inclusion would
adversely affect the offering of the securities to be covered by the proposed
registration statement.

          (c) To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each holder
whose securities are included in the registration statement pursuant to this
Section 9 agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of the issue
being registered or a similar security of Hawaiian, including a sale pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Act, during the 14 days prior to, and during the 60-day
period beginning on, the effective date of such registration statement (except
as part of such registration), if and to the extent requested by Hawaiian in the
case of the non-underwritten public offering or if and to the extent requested
by the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of an underwritten
public offering.

          10. REGISTRATION EXPENSES.  The out-of-pocket expenses of any
              ---------------------                                    
registration pursuant to Section 8 or Section 9 shall be borne by Hawaiian,
except each holder proposing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the
registration shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to
his shares and all legal fees and expenses, if any, of his own counsel;
                                                                       
provided, however, that if the out-of-pocket expenses of the registration
- --------  -------                                                        
pursuant to Section 9 are being borne by a person other than Hawaiian, each
holder proposing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration
shall pay his pro rata share of the out-of-pocket expenses of such registration.

          11. STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  In connection with the offering of any
              ---------------------                                         
Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Warrant, Hawaiian shall take
such action as may be necessary to qualify or register the Registrable
Securities to be sold under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such
jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by such holder or his underwriters;
provided, however, that Hawaiian will not be required to (a) qualify generally
- --------  -------                                                             
to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
qualify but for this Section, (b) subject itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction or (c) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction.  The expenses of such qualification or registration shall be borne
by Hawaiian in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 8 and shall be
borne pro rata by the holders and any other party registering shares pursuant to
such registration statement in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 9.

          12. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
              -------------------------------- 

          (a) Hawaiian agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each holder of
Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each person, if
any, who controls such holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or
Section 20 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") from
and against any and all lawsuits, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including reasonable costs of investigation) arising out of or based upon any
untrue or alleged untrue statements of a material fact contained in any
registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities or
in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or
arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses arise out of, or are based upon, any such untrue
statement or omission or allegation thereof made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished in writing to Hawaiian by such holder or
at the direction of such holder expressly for use therein; provided that, with
                                                           --------           
respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission made in any preliminary prospectus, the indemnity 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
                                                                  Warrant No. 12

agreement contained in this paragraph shall not apply to the extent that any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense results from the fact that a
current copy of the prospectus was not sent or given to the person asserting any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities to such person if it is
determined that it was the responsibility of such holder to provide such person
with a current copy of the prospectus and such current copy of the prospectus
would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability
or expense. Hawaiian also agrees to indemnify and provide contribution
arrangements to the underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers
and directors and each person who controls such underwriters on substantially
the same basis as that of the indemnification of a holder provided in this
Section 12(a).

          (b) Each holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Hawaiian, its
officers, directors and agents and each person, if any, who controls Hawaiian
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from Hawaiian to such holder,
but only with respect to such information furnished in writing by such holder or
at such holder's direction expressly for use in any registration statement or
prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus; provided that, with respect
                                                   --------                   
to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made
in any preliminary prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this
paragraph shall not apply to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense results from the fact that a current copy of the prospectus
was not sent or given to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such
Registrable Securities to such person if it is determined that it was the
responsibility of Hawaiian to provide such person with a current copy of the
prospectus and such current copy of the prospectus would have cured the defect
giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense.  Each holder also
agrees to indemnify and provide contribution arrangements to the underwriters of
the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each person who
controls such underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of the
indemnification of Hawaiian provided in this Section 12(b).

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 12(a)
or Section 12(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action for which
indemnification may be sought, the indemnified party shall notify the
indemnifying party.  The failure to notify the indemnifying party shall relieve
it from any liability hereunder with respect to the action, but only to the
extent the indemnifying party was actually harmed by such failure.  In case any
such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies any
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to assume and control the defense of the action at its expense, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and if the
indemnifying party gives notice to such indemnified party of its election to
assume and control the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to
such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
the indemnified party in connection with the defense or investigation of the
action.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such indemnified party or such controlling person unless (i) the
indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses or (ii) the named
parties to any such action or proceeding include both the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party and each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have been advised by counsel that counsel employed by the
indemnifying party would, under applicable professional standards, have a
conflict in representing both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party,
it being

understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not, in connection with
any such action or proceeding or separate, but substantially similar or related
actions or proceedings, in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for such indemnified party
and controlling persons thereof.

          13.  TAG-ALONG SALE RIGHTS.
               --------------------- 

          (a) If a holder or holders of record of Common Stock of Hawaiian (for
purposes of this Section 13, the "Proposed Transferor") at any time or from time
to time prior to September 11, 2001, in one transaction or in a series of
related transactions, agrees (whether orally or in writing) to transfer to any
person, group or entity a sufficient number of shares of Common Equity so that
such person, group or entity owns at least 50.1% of the then-outstanding Common
Equity (a "Tag-Along Sale") and Hawaiian becomes aware of such Tag-Along Sale,
then Hawaiian shall use its best efforts to cause the Proposed Transferor to
provide to the holder of this Warrant (for purposes of this Section 13, the
"Warrant Holder") the right, but not the obligation, to include in such Tag-
Along Sale up to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock derived by
multiplying the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock owned by or
issuable to the Warrant Holder by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock then owned by or issuable to the Proposed
Transferor that are to be purchased by the proposed purchaser (without giving
effect to any reduction in such number of shares by reason of the Warrant
Holder's exercise the "tag-along" rights provided in this Section 13 in
connection with such transaction) and the denominator of which is the total
number of shares of Common Stock owned by or issuable to the Proposed Transferor
prior to such sale.  Any such sale by such Warrant Holder shall be on the same
terms and conditions as the proposed Tag-Along Sale by the Proposed Transferor.

          (b) If the Proposed Transferor agrees to permit the Warrant Holder to
participate in a Tag-Along Sale, the Proposed Transferor shall agree that the
Tag-Along sale shall be subject to the terms set forth in Sections 13(c), 13(d)
and 13(e).

          (c) The Proposed Transferor shall promptly provide Hawaiian with
notice of the proposed Tag-Along Sale (which Hawaiian shall transmit to the
Warrant Holder within five calendar days of its receipt thereof, but in no event
less than five calendar days prior to the proposed closing date for such sale
(the "Closing Date")) containing the following:

               (i) the name and address of the proposed transferee of the shares
     of Common Stock in the Tag-Along Sale;

               (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be
     transferred by the Proposed Transferor in the event no persons to whom Tag-
     Along rights have been granted elects to participate;

               (iii)  the proposed amount and form of consideration to be paid
     for such shares of Common Stock and the terms and conditions of payment
     offered by the proposed transferee;

               (iv) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held of
     record by such Proposed Transferor as of the date of the notice from the
     Proposed Transferor to Hawaiian (the "Notice Date");

                                       10

                                                                  Warrant No. 12

               (v) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held of record
     as of the Notice Date by all holders of Tag-Along rights as a group;

               (vi) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock the Warrant
     Holder is entitled to include in the Tag-Along Sale (as computed in
     accordance with the equations set forth in Section 13(a));

               (vii)  the Closing Date; and

               (viii)  that the proposed transferee has been informed of the
     Tag-Along rights provided for in this Section 13.

          (d) If the Warrant Holder desires to participate in such Tag-Along
Sale, such Warrant Holder shall provide written notice (the "Tag-Along Notice")
to the Proposed Transferor within 15 calendar days after the Notice Date, but in
no event less than one calendar day prior to the Closing Date, setting forth the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock such Warrant Holder elects to include
in the Tag-Along Sale.  The Tag-Along Notice given by the Warrant Holder shall
constitute such Warrant Holder's binding agreement to sell such shares of Class
A Common Stock as are included therein on the terms and conditions applicable to
such sale (including the requirements of this Section 13).  In the event that
the proposed transferee does not purchase the shares of the Proposed Transferor,
then the proposed sale by the Warrant Holder to such proposed transferee
pursuant to the Tag-Along Sale shall not take place.  If the Tag-Along Notice
from the Warrant Holder is not received by the Proposed Transferor within the
time period specified above in this Section 13(d), the Proposed Transferor shall
have the right to transfer the shares of Common Stock to the proposed transferee
without any participation by the Warrant Holder, but only on the terms and
conditions stated in the notice to such holder or on terms and conditions no
more favorable to the Proposed Transferor.

          (e) If the Warrant Holder chooses not to sell any or all shares of
Class A Common Stock which such Warrant Holder may be entitled to sell under
this Section 13, the Proposed Transferor may sell, in the same transaction,
additional shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between the number of
shares of Class A Common Stock which such Warrant Holder is entitled to sell and
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock such Warrant Holder chooses to
sell, if any.

          (f) The provisions of this Section 13 shall not apply to:

               (i) any transaction in which shares of Class A Common Stock are
     proposed to be sold publicly pursuant to a registration statement filed
     under the Act; or

               (ii) any shares of Common Stock proposed to be transferred by the
     Proposed Transferor which are purchased by the Company or an affiliate as
     defined in the Exchange Act of the Proposed Transferor.

          14.  NOTICES.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be

                                WARRANT FOR THE
                         PURCHASE OF 948,973 SHARES OF
                               CLASS A COMMON STOCK


                                   VOID AFTER
                               SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
                             ______________________

For value received, this Warrant entitles AMR Corporation ("AMR") and its
          successors and assigns, subject to the terms and conditions
          hereinafter set forth, to purchase from Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.
          ("Hawaiian") 948,973 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A
          Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of Hawaiian (the "Class A
          Common Stock"), subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided upon
          payment therefor to Hawaiian of $1.10 per share (the "Warrant Price"),
          subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided (this "Warrant"). This
          is one of two warrants issued concurrently to AMR for the purchase of
          Class A Common Stock which collectively are referred to herein as the
          "AMR Warrants."

          THE SALE, ASSIGNMENT OR OTHER DISPOSITION (EACH A "TRANSFER") OF THIS
          WARRANT IS RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS OF THE RIGHTSHOLDERS AGREEMENT (THE
          "RIGHTSHOLDERS AGREEMENT"), DATED AS OF JANUARY 31, 1996, BY AND AMONG

          WARRANTS OF HAWAIIAN, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE INSPECTED AT HAWAIIAN'S
          PRINCIPAL OFFICE.  THE COMPANY WILL NOT REGISTER ON THE BOOKS OF THE
          COMPANY OR OTHERWISE EFFECT THE TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT IF THE
          TRANSFER HAS NOT BEEN MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RIGHTSHOLDERS
          AGREEMENT.

          1.                  EXERCISE.
                              -------- 

          (a) This Warrant is exercisable at the option of the holder hereof in
whole or in part from time to time on or before September 11, 2001.

          (b) Before the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise
the same, he shall surrender this Warrant at the principal office of Hawaiian
accompanied by funds payable by cash, a certified check, bank cashiers check or
wire transfer to an account designated by Hawaiian in the amount of the Warrant
Price payable upon such exercise plus any tax or taxes payable or which may be
payable by such holder in respect of such exercise,

                                                                  Warrant No. 11

and shall give written notice (the "Exercise Notice") to Hawaiian at such office
that such holder elects to exercise this Warrant, and shall state therein the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such
exercise and the name or names in which he wishes the certificate or
certificates for such shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities to be
issued. Hawaiian will, as soon as practicable after such surrender of this
Warrant accompanied by the written notice and the statement described above,
requisition from the then transfer agent for Hawaiian a certificate or
certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance and delivery to or
on the written order of the registered holder of such Warrant and in such name
or names as such registered holder may designate. Such certificate or
certificates shall represent the number of whole shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable on such exercise, together with a cash amount for any fraction of a
share of Class A Common Stock otherwise issuable on such exercise and shall be
delivered as directed by the holder of the Warrant in the Exercise Notice no
later than five Business Days after exercise.

          (c) Certificates representing such shares shall be deemed to have been
issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have
become a holder of record of such shares as of the date of surrender of a
Warrant and payment of the Warrant Price as provided herein, provided that if,
                                                             --------         
at the date of surrender of such Warrant and payment of such Warrant Price, the
transfer books for the Class A Common Stock or other class of stock purchasable
on the exercise of such Warrant shall be closed, the certificates for the shares
in respect of which such Warrant is then exercised shall be issuable as of the
date on which such books shall next be opened and until such date, Hawaiian
shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such shares.  The Warrant
shall be exercisable at the election of the registered holder thereof, either as
an entirety or from time to time for part of the number of whole shares
specified in the Warrant, but in no event shall fractional shares be issued.  In
the event of any partial exercise, a new Warrant will be issued to the
registered holder to evidence such holder's Warrant to purchase the number of
shares as to which the Warrant has not been exercised.  No adjustment shall be
made for any cash dividends on shares issuable on the exercise of any Warrant.

          2.  TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.
              --------------------- 

          (a) This Warrant may be transferred at the principal office of
Hawaiian upon its surrender by the holder thereof in person or by attorney duly
authorized in writing.  Upon such surrender, a new Warrant or new Warrants of
different denominations will be issued to the transferee or transferees, dated
the date of such surrender, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase a like number of shares of Class A Common Stock (after giving
effect to any adjustments therein).

          (b) This Warrant may be exchanged at the principal office of Hawaiian
upon surrender by the holder hereof in person or by attorney duly authorized in
writing, for another Warrant or other Warrants of different denominations, dated
the date of such surrender, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase a like number of shares of Class A Common Stock (after giving
effect to any adjustments therein).  Hawaiian shall not be required to effect
any registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the issuance of a
Warrant to purchase only a fraction of a share.

          3.  ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES.
              ------------------------------ 

          (a) Upon any adjustment of the Current Warrant Price, as provided in
Section 4 hereof, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of 

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
                                                                  Warrant No. 11

this Warrant shall be determined by dividing (i) the result obtained by
multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the Warrant Price resulting
from such adjustment.

          (b) No adjustment in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least one percent in such number; provided that any
                                                             --------         
adjustments which by reason of this Section 3(b) are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

          4. ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE.
             --------------------------- 

          (a) In case Hawaiian shall at any time (i) issue or sell any shares of
Common Equity (which term for all purposes hereof shall mean and include stock
of Hawaiian of any class or series, whether now or hereafter authorized, the
holders of which shall be entitled to participate in the distribution of
earnings and assets of Hawaiian without limit as to amount or percentage,
including Class A Common Stock, unless the holders of such stock shall be
entitled to receive dividends or amounts distributable upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, senior in preference or priority
to the holders of any outstanding stock of Hawaiian of any other class or
series) without consideration, or for consideration per share less than the
Current Market Price (determined as hereinafter provided), or (ii) issue or sell
any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Equity
("Convertible Securities") at a conversion price per share of Common Equity less
than the Current Market Price, or (iii) issue or sell any warrants or other
rights to subscribe to or purchase, or any options for the purchase of shares of
Common Equity or Convertible Securities ("Rights or Options") at an exercise
price per share of Common Equity less than the Current Market Price, then, and
thereafter successively upon each such issuance or sale, except as provided
below, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale
(the "Current Warrant Price") shall simultaneously with such issuance or sale be
reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying:
(A) the Current Warrant Price by (B) a fraction of which the numerator shall be
the aggregate number of shares of Common Equity outstanding immediately prior to
such issuance or sale plus the number of shares of Common Equity which the
aggregate consideration for the total number of shares of Common Equity,
Convertible Securities and Rights or Options issued or sold as aforesaid would
purchase at the Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the
aggregate number of shares of Common Equity outstanding immediately prior to
such issuance or sale, plus the number of shares of Common Equity issued or sold
as aforesaid and the maximum number of shares of Common Equity issuable with
respect to such Convertible Securities and Rights or Options issued or sold as
aforesaid.

          In case Hawaiian shall at any time distribute to holders of Common
Equity, as such, (i) evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular cash
dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated retained earnings)
of Hawaiian or any corporation or other legal entity a majority of the voting
equity securities or equity interests of which are owned, directly or
indirectly, by Hawaiian (a "Subsidiary"), (ii) shares of capital stock of any
Subsidiary, (iii) securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock
of any Subsidiary, or (iv) any rights, options, or warrants to purchase any of
the foregoing, then and thereafter successively upon each distribution, the
Current Warrant Price shall, simultaneously with such distribution, be reduced
to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying, (A) the
Current Warrant Price by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which will be the
Current Market Price less the fair value (as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the

                                                                  Warrant No. 11

Hawaiian, whose determination will be conclusive if based on the financial
advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm) of the portion of the
evidences of indebtedness, assets, securities, or rights, options, or warrants
so distributed on account of one share of Common Equity on the record date for
such distribution, and the denominator of which will be such Current Market
Price. Such adjustment will be made whenever any such distribution is made, and
will become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Current
Warrant Price shall be made in any case in which Hawaiian shall issue (i)
employee stock options, (ii) shares of Common Equity upon conversion or exchange
of any Convertible Securities, (iii) shares of Common Equity or Convertible
Securities upon exercise of any Rights or Options, (iv) in consideration of the
acquisition by Hawaiian or any subsidiary of all or substantially all of the
stock of another company or all or substantially all the assets of another
company (whether by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise), any shares of
Common Equity or any Convertible Securities or any Rights or Option or (v)
shares of Common Equity pursuant to the proposed offering by Hawaiian of
nontransferable rights to purchase Class A Common Stock (the "Rights Offering")
to be made to the Company's shareholders and to holders of options under its
stock option plan and reasonably anticipated for February or March of 1996, but
only to the extent that the number shares of Common Equity issued in the Rights
Offering does not exceed the number of shares held by such shareholders plus the
number of shares issuable on exercise of such options..

          (c) Calculations pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof shall be made in
accordance with the following provisions:

               (i) "Current Market Price" on any day shall mean the average of
     the daily closing prices of the Class A Common Stock for the 30 consecutive
     business days commencing 35 business days before the day in question.  The
     closing price for each day shall be the last reported sale price regular
     way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such date, the average
     of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on
     the American Stock Exchange, or, if such stock is not listed or admitted to
     trading on such exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on
     which such stock is listed or admitted to trading, or if not listed or
     admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the
     closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as furnished
     by any national brokerage firm selected from time to time by Hawaiian for
     that purpose.  For the purposes of the foregoing provision, the term
     "business day" shall not include any day on which securities are not traded
     on such exchange or in such market.

               (ii) In case of the issuance or sale of any securities of
     Hawaiian for cash, the consideration received by Hawaiian therefor shall be
     deemed to be the amount of cash received by Hawaiian for such security (or
     if such securities are offered by Hawaiian for subscription, the
     subscription price, or, if such securities are sold to underwriters or
     dealers for public offering without a subscription offer, the initial
     public offering price), without deducting therefrom any compensation or
     discount paid or allowed to underwriters or dealers or others performing
     similar services or for any expenses incurred in connection therewith.

               (iii)  In case of the issuance or sale of any securities of
     Hawaiian for consideration other than cash or a consideration a part of
     which is other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash
     received by Hawaiian for such securities 

                                       4

     shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined by
     its Board of Directors, which determination may be inconsistent with the
     accounting treatment thereof.

               (iv) In case of the issuance or sale of Convertible Securities,
     the aggregate consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the
     consideration, if any, received at the time of such issuance or sale, plus
     the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable
     to Hawaiian upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities
     at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or
     exchangeable.

               (v) In case of the issuance or sale of Rights or Options, the
     aggregate consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the consideration,
     if any, received at the time of such issuance or sale, plus the minimum
     aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Hawaiian
     upon the exercise of such Rights or Options, plus, in the case of Rights or
     Options to purchase Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of
     additional consideration, if any, payable to Hawaiian upon the conversion
     or exchange of such Convertible Securities at the time such Convertible
     Securities first become convertible or exchangeable.

               (vi) In case of the issuance or sale of Convertible Securities or
     Rights or Options, the conversion or exercise price per share of Common
     Equity shall be determined by dividing the aggregate consideration for such
     Convertible Securities or Rights or Options by the maximum number of shares
     of Common Equity issuable with respect to such Convertible Securities or
     Rights or Options.

               (vii)  The maximum number of shares of Common Equity issuable
     with respect to Convertible Securities or Rights or Options shall include
     the number of shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of such
     Convertible Securities or exercise of such Rights or Options, plus, in the
     case of Rights or Options to purchase Convertible Securities, the number of
     shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

               (viii)  In case of the issuance of additional shares of Common
     Equity as a dividend or as the distribution on any capital stock of
     Hawaiian, the aggregate number of shares of Common Equity issued in payment
     of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued on the
     record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
     dividend or distribution and shall be deemed to have been issued without
     consideration.

               (ix) The reclassification of securities other than Common Equity
     into securities including Common Equity shall be deemed to involve the
     issuance for consideration other than cash of such Common Equity on the
     record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
     Common Equity.

               (x) The number of shares of Common Equity at any time outstanding
     shall include the maximum number of shares issuable at such time with
     respect to all Convertible Securities and Rights or Options then
     outstanding and unconverted or unexchanged or unexercised.

               (xi) No adjustment provided for in Section 4(a) hereof shall be
     made if it results in an increase in the Current Warrant Price above the
     initial Warrant Price as adjusted only as provided in Section 4(d) hereof.

          (d) In case the outstanding shares of Common Equity shall be
subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Equity, the Current Warrant
Price shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be
proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of
Common Equity shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common
Equity, the Current Warrant Price shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness
of such combination, be proportionately increased.

          (e) Whenever the Current Warrant Price shall be adjusted as herein
provided, and from time to time, at the reasonable request of the holder hereof,
Hawaiian will forthwith deliver to such holder a certificate signed by the
President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of
Hawaiian, showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring any such adjustment
and stating the Current Warrant Price in effect on the date of such certificate
after giving effect to any such adjustment and the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock or other securities then purchaseable upon the exercise hereof.
Hawaiian may retain a firm of independent public accountants of recognized
standing, selected by its Board of Directors to make any computation required
under this Section 4, and the certificate signed by such firm shall be
conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such computation.

          5.  CAPITAL REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION OR MERGER.  In case the
              --------------------------------------------------              
Class A Common Stock shall be changed into another kind of capital stock of
Hawaiian (otherwise than through a subdivision or combination of shares) or
shall represent the right to receive some other security or property as a result
of any capital reorganization, reclassification or merger into or consolidation
with another company, or sale of all or substantially all the assets of Hawaiian
to another company, this Warrant shall (subject to further adjustments in the
Warrant Price as herein provided) thereafter entitle the holder hereof to
acquire upon exercise hereof the kind and number of shares of stock or other
securities or property to which such holder would have been entitled if such
holder had held the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or sale of assets.

          6.  RESERVATION OF SHARES.  Hawaiian shall at all times reserve and
              ---------------------                                          
keep available, out of its treasury stock or authorized and unissued stock,
solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, such number of
shares of Class A Common Stock and other securities of Hawaiian as shall, from
time to time, be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant.  All shares
of Class A Common Stock issued on exercise of this Warrant shall be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

          7.  HOLDER OF WARRANT.  Hawaiian may deem and treat the person in
              -----------------                                            
whose name this Warrant is registered as the absolute owner hereof for all
purposes and Hawaiian shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.  No
holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be entitled to vote on or be deemed for
any purpose the holder of Class A Common Stock or any other securities of
Hawaiian which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof.

          8.  DEMAND REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  As soon as practicable after
              --------------------------                               
Hawaiian's receipt of a request, made at any time before September 11, 2001, of
holders of Class A Common Stock heretofore issued upon exercise of AMR Warrants
and/or of then exercisable AMR Warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock
aggregating not less than five hundred

thousand shares to register such shares of Class A Common Stock ("Registrable
Securities") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), Hawaiian
shall cause a registration statement to be filed with respect to the number of
such shares specified in the request and shall use its best efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to become effective. Hawaiian shall not be required to
cause more than two registration statements to be filed pursuant to this Section
8. Hawaiian shall be entitled to include other securities of Hawaiian to be
offered by Hawaiian or other stockholders of Hawaiian, in such registration
statement; provided, however, that such stockholders or holders of AMR Warrants
           --------  ------- 
requesting registration pursuant to this Section 8 may request that any such
other securities of Hawaiian not be included in the registration statement if
they shall be advised by the investment banking firm managing the underwriting
that it reasonably believes that such inclusion would adversely affect the
offering of the shares to be covered by the proposed registration statement.
Hawaiian shall be entitled to postpone the filing of any such registration
statement for a reasonable period of time if (a) Hawaiian is, at the time at
which it receives any such request, conducting or, within 60 days of receipt by
Hawaiian of such notice, is about to conduct an offering of its securities and
Hawaiian reasonably believes that such offering would be adversely affected by
the registration requested, (b) such request is received by Hawaiian within six
months after the effective date of a registration statement of Hawaiian and,
prior to the filing of such registration statement, Hawaiian has complied with
its obligations under Section 9 hereof, or (c) the filing of the registration
statement would require Hawaiian to furnish audited financial statements other
than the audited financial statements customarily prepared at the end of its
fiscal year or unaudited financial information with respect to any period other
than its regularly reported interim quarterly periods.

          9.  PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
              ------------------------------ 

          (a) From the date hereof and on or before September 11, 2001, at any
time Hawaiian proposes to file a registration statement under the Act with
respect to an offering by Hawaiian, for its own account or the account of its
shareholders, of shares of Class A Common Stock (other than the Rights Offering,
a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any substitute form that may be
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")) or filed
in connection with an exchange offer or an offering of securities solely to
Hawaiian's existing security holders), then Hawaiian shall in each such case
give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of the AMR Warrants
and holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable (but in no event
less than 30 days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall
offer such holders the opportunity to register such shares of Registrable
Securities as such holder may request.

          (b) Hawaiian shall use its best efforts to cause any managing
underwriter or underwriters of such proposed underwritten offering to permit the
Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration statement
for such offering to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar
securities of Hawaiian included therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering advise Hawaiian that they
reasonably believe that the success of the offering would be materially and
adversely affected by inclusion of the Registrable Securities and the inclusion
of other shares requested to be included, such amount of Registrable Securities
as shall be required to substantially eliminate the adverse effect in the
judgment of the managing underwriter or underwriters, will be excluded from such
offering as provided in the Rightsholders Agreement.  In the case of a non-
underwritten offering, Hawaiian may decline to include any Registrable
Securities in a registration statement pursuant to Section 9(a) if it reasonably
believes that such inclusion would adversely affect the offering of the
securities to be covered by the proposed registration statement.

          (c) To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each holder
whose securities are included in the registration statement pursuant to this
Section 9 agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of the issue
being registered or a similar security of Hawaiian, including a sale pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Act, during the 14 days prior to, and during the 60-day
period beginning on, the effective date of such registration statement (except
as part of such registration), if and to the extent requested by Hawaiian in the
case of the non-underwritten public offering or if and to the extent requested
by the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of an underwritten
public offering.

          10.  REGISTRATION EXPENSES.  The out-of-pocket expenses of any
               ---------------------                                    
registration pursuant to Section 8 or Section 9 shall be borne by Hawaiian,
except each holder proposing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the
registration shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to
his shares and all legal fees and expenses, if any, of his own counsel;
provided, however, that if the out-of-pocket expenses of the registration
- --------  -------                                                        
pursuant to Section 9 are being borne by a person other than Hawaiian, each
holder proposing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration
shall pay his pro rata share of the out-of-pocket expenses of such registration.

          11.  STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  In connection with the offering of any
               ---------------------                                         
Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Warrant, Hawaiian shall take
such action as may be necessary to qualify or register the Registrable
Securities to be sold under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such
jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by such holder or his underwriters;
provided, however, that Hawaiian will not be required to (a) qualify generally
- --------  -------                                                             
to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
qualify but for this Section, (b) subject itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction or (c) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction.  The expenses of such qualification or registration shall be borne
by Hawaiian in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 8 and shall be
borne pro rata by the holders and any other party registering shares pursuant to
such registration statement in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 9.

          12. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
              -------------------------------- 

          (a) Hawaiian agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each holder of
Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each person, if
any, who controls such holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or
Section 20 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") from
and against any and all lawsuits, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including reasonable costs of investigation) arising out of or based upon any
untrue or alleged untrue statements of a material fact contained in any
registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities or
in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or
arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses arise out of, or are based upon, any such untrue
statement or omission or allegation thereof made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished in writing to Hawaiian by such holder or
at the direction of such holder expressly for use therein; provided that, with
                                                           --------           
respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission made in any preliminary prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained
in this paragraph shall not apply to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense results from the fact that a current copy of the
prospectus was not sent or given to the person asserting any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale
of such Registrable Securities to such person if it is determined that it was
the responsibility of such holder to provide such person with a

current copy of the prospectus and such current copy of the prospectus would
have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense. Hawaiian also agrees to indemnify and provide contribution arrangements
to the underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors
and each person who controls such underwriters on substantially the same basis
as that of the indemnification of a holder provided in this Section 12(a).

          (b) Each holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Hawaiian, its
officers, directors and agents and each person, if any, who controls Hawaiian
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from Hawaiian to such holder,
but only with respect to such information furnished in writing by such holder or
at such holder's direction expressly for use in any registration statement or
prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus; provided that, with respect
                                                   --------                   
to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made
in any preliminary prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this
paragraph shall not apply to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense results from the fact that a current copy of the prospectus
was not sent or given to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such
Registrable Securities to such person if it is determined that it was the
responsibility of Hawaiian to provide such person with a current copy of the
prospectus and such current copy of the prospectus would have cured the defect
giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense.  Each holder also
agrees to indemnify and provide contribution arrangements to the underwriters of
the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each person who
controls such underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of the
indemnification of Hawaiian provided in this Section 12(b).

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 12(a)
or Section 12(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action for which
indemnification may be sought, the indemnified party shall notify the
indemnifying party.  The failure to notify the indemnifying party shall relieve
it from any liability hereunder with respect to the action, but only to the
extent the indemnifying party was actually harmed by such failure.  In case any
such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies any
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to assume and control the defense of the action at its expense, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and if the
indemnifying party gives notice to such indemnified party of its election to
assume and control the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to
such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
the indemnified party in connection with the defense or investigation of the
action.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such indemnified party or such controlling person unless (i) the
indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses or (ii) the named
parties to any such action or proceeding include both the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party and each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have been advised by counsel that counsel employed by the
indemnifying party would, under applicable professional standards, have a
conflict in representing both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party,
it being understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any such action or proceeding or separate, but substantially
similar or related actions or proceedings, in the same jurisdiction arising out
of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for
such indemnified party and controlling persons thereof.

          13. TAG-ALONG SALE RIGHTS.
              --------------------- 

          (a) If a holder or holders of record of Common Stock of Hawaiian (for
purposes of this Section 13, the "Proposed Transferor") at any time or from time
to time prior to September 11, 2001, in one transaction or in a series of
related transactions, agrees (whether orally or in writing) to transfer to any
person, group or entity a sufficient number of shares of Common Equity so that
such person, group or entity owns at least 50.1% of the then-outstanding Common
Equity (a "Tag-Along Sale") and Hawaiian becomes aware of such Tag-Along Sale,
then Hawaiian shall use its best efforts to cause the Proposed Transferor to
provide to the holder of this Warrant (for purposes of this Section 13, the
"Warrant Holder") the right, but not the obligation, to include in such Tag-
Along Sale up to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock derived by
multiplying the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock owned by or
issuable to the Warrant Holder by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock then owned by or issuable to the Proposed
Transferor that are to be purchased by the proposed purchaser (without giving
effect to any reduction in such number of shares by reason of the Warrant
Holder's exercise the "tag-along" rights provided in this Section 13 in
connection with such transaction) and the denominator of which is the total
number of shares of Common Stock owned by or issuable to the Proposed Transferor
prior to such sale.  Any such sale by such Warrant Holder shall be on the same
terms and conditions as the proposed Tag-Along Sale by the Proposed Transferor.

          (b) If the Proposed Transferor agrees to permit the Warrant Holder to
participate in a Tag-Along Sale, the Proposed Transferor shall agree that the
Tag-Along sale shall be subject to the terms set forth in Sections 13(c), 13(d)
and 13(e).

          (c) The Proposed Transferor shall promptly provide Hawaiian with
notice of the proposed Tag-Along Sale (which Hawaiian shall transmit to the
Warrant Holder within five calendar days of its receipt thereof, but in no event
less than five calendar days prior to the proposed closing date for such sale
(the "Closing Date")) containing the following:

               (i) the name and address of the proposed transferee of the shares
     of Common Stock in the Tag-Along Sale;

               (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be
     transferred by the Proposed Transferor in the event no persons to whom Tag-
     Along rights have been granted elects to participate;

               (iii)  the proposed amount and form of consideration to be paid
     for such shares of Common Stock and the terms and conditions of payment
     offered by the proposed transferee;

               (iv) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held of
     record by such Proposed Transferor as of the date of the notice from the
     Proposed Transferor to Hawaiian (the "Notice Date");

               (v) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held of record
     as of the Notice Date by all holders of Tag-Along rights as a group;

               (vi) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock the Warrant
     Holder is entitled to include in the Tag-Along Sale (as computed in
     accordance with the equations set forth in Section 13(a));

               (vii)  the Closing Date; and

               (viii)  that the proposed transferee has been informed of the
     Tag-Along rights provided for in this Section 13.

          (d) If the Warrant Holder desires to participate in such Tag-Along
Sale, such Warrant Holder shall provide written notice (the "Tag-Along Notice")
to the Proposed Transferor within 15 calendar days after the Notice Date, but in
no event less than one calendar day prior to the Closing Date, setting forth the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock such Warrant Holder elects to include
in the Tag-Along Sale.  The Tag-Along Notice given by the Warrant Holder shall
constitute such Warrant Holder's binding agreement to sell such shares of Class
A Common Stock as are included therein on the terms and conditions applicable to
such sale (including the requirements of this Section 13).  In the event that
the proposed transferee does not purchase the shares of the Proposed Transferor,
then the proposed sale by the Warrant Holder to such proposed transferee
pursuant to the Tag-Along Sale shall not take place.  If the Tag-Along Notice
from the Warrant Holder is not received by the Proposed Transferor within the
time period specified above in this Section 13(d), the Proposed Transferor shall
have the right to transfer the shares of Common Stock to the proposed transferee
without any participation by the Warrant Holder, but only on the terms and
conditions stated in the notice to such holder or on terms and conditions no
more favorable to the Proposed Transferor.

          (e) If the Warrant Holder chooses not to sell any or all shares of
Class A Common Stock which such Warrant Holder may be entitled to sell under
this Section 13, the Proposed Transferor may sell, in the same transaction,
additional shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between the number of
shares of Class A Common Stock which such Warrant Holder is entitled to sell and
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock such Warrant Holder chooses to
sell, if any.

          (f) The provisions of this Section 13 shall not apply to:

               (i) any transaction in which shares of Class A Common Stock are
     proposed to be sold publicly pursuant to a registration statement filed
     under the Act; or

               (ii) any shares of Common Stock proposed to be transferred by the
     Proposed Transferor which are purchased by the Company or an affiliate as
     defined in the Exchange Act of the Proposed Transferor.

          14.  NOTICES.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be
               -------

NOTICE:  THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE HAVE NOT
         BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR QUALIFIED UNDER
         OTHER SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT OR
         SUCH SHARES MAY BE RESTRICTED.

         THE SALE, ASSIGNMENT OR OTHER DISPOSITION (EACH A "TRANSFER") OF THIS
         WARRANT IS RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS OF THE RIGHTSHOLDERS AGREEMENT,
         DATED AS OF JANUARY 31, 1996, BY AND AMONG THE COMPANY, AIRLINE
         INVESTORS PARTNERSHIP, L.P. AND THE HOLDERS OF WARRANTS OF THE COMPANY,

         EFFECT THE TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT IF THE TRANSFER HAS NOT BEEN MADE
         IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RIGHTSHOLDERS AGREEMENT.

                                WARRANT FOR THE
                          PURCHASE OF 93,678 SHARES OF
                               CLASS A COMMON STOCK


                                   VOID AFTER
                                SEPTEMBER 12, 1999

          For value received, this Warrant entitles Martin Anderson and his
successors and assigns, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth, to purchase from Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. ("Hawaiian") 93,678 fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of
Hawaiian (the "Class A Common Stock"), subject to adjustment as hereinafter
provided upon payment therefor to Hawaiian of $1.71 per share (the "Warrant
Price"), subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.  This is one of 6
warrants issued concurrently for the purchase of Class A Common Stock of
Hawaiian, all of which are on the same terms and are referred to collectively as
the "Warrants."

          1.  Exercise.
              -------- 

               (a) This Warrant is exercisable at the option of the holder
     hereof in whole or in part from time to time on or before September 12,
     1999.

               (b) Before the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to
     exercise the same, he shall surrender this Warrant at the principal office
     of Hawaiian accompanied by funds in the amount of the Warrant Price payable
     upon such exercise plus any tax or taxes payable or which may be payable by
     such holder in respect of such exercise, and shall give written notice to
     Hawaiian at such office that such holder elects to exercise this Warrant,
     and shall state therein the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or
     other securities issuable upon 

                                       1

                                                                  Warrant No. 13

     such exercise and the name or names in which he wishes the certificate or
     certificates for such shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities to
     be issued. Hawaiian will, as soon as practicable after such surrender of
     this Warrant accompanied by the written notice and the statement described
     above, Hawaiian shall requisition from the then transfer agent for Hawaiian
     a certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock for
     issuance and delivery to or on the written order of the registered holder
     of such Warrant and in such name or names as such registered holder may
     designate. Such certificate or certificates shall represent the number of
     whole shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on such exercise, together
     with a cash amount for any fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock
     otherwise issuable on such exercise.

               (c) Certificates representing such shares shall be deemed to have
     been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be
     deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares as of the date of
     surrender of a Warrant and payment of the Warrant Price as provided herein,
     provided that if, at the date of surrender of such Warrant and payment of
     such Warrant Price, the transfer books for the Class A Common Stock or
     other class of stock purchasable on the exercise of such Warrant shall be
     closed, the certificates for the shares in respect of which such Warrant is
     then exercised shall be issuable as of the date on which such books shall
     next be opened and until such date, Hawaiian shall be under no duty to
     deliver any certificate for such shares.  Each Warrant shall be exercisable
     at the election of the registered holder thereof, either as an entirety or
     from time to time for part of the number of whole shares specified in the
     Warrant, but in no event shall fractional shares be issued.  In the event
     of any partial exercise, a new Warrant will be issued to the registered
     holder to evidence such holder's Warrant to purchase the number of shares
     as to which the Warrant has not been exercised.  No adjustment shall be
     made for any cash dividends on shares issuable on the exercise of any
     Warrant.

          2.  Transfer and Exchange.
              --------------------- 

               (a) Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles of
     Incorporation of Hawaiian, the transfer of outstanding securities (defined
     as any interest in the corporation that will be treated as stock under
     Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code) of Hawaiian (including this
     Warrant) is subject to significant restrictions until the earlier of the
     occurrence of certain events or September 12, 1997.  Unless such
     restrictions are waived by the Board of Directors or are subject to certain
     exceptions set forth in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation,
     until such expiration, no transfer of this Warrant shall be permitted if
     such transfer would increase the percentage of outstanding securities owned
     by or attributed to any person (individually or through attribution as part
     of a group or pursuant to the option attribution rules) who owns, or by
     virtue of such transfer would own, or has at any time since September 12,
     1994 owned, more than 4.75% of the outstanding securities of Hawaiian.  Any
     attempted transfer in violation of the restriction generally will be void,
     and could subject the transferor and transferee to losses and damages.
     Reference is hereby made to Hawaiian's Amended and Restated Articles of
     Incorporation for a full description of certain restrictions on the
     transfer of outstanding securities of Hawaiian, including this Warrant.

               (b) Subject to the restrictions described in Section 2(a) hereof,
     this Warrant may be transferred at the principal office of Hawaiian upon
     its surrender by the holder thereof in person or by attorney duly
     authorized in writing.  Upon such surrender, a new Warrant or new Warrants
     of different denominations will be issued to the transferee or transferees,
     dated the date of such surrender, of like tenor and representing in the
     aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of Class A Common
     Stock (after giving effect to any adjustments therein).

               (c) Subject to the restrictions described in Section 2(a) hereof,
     this Warrant may be exchanged at the principal office of Hawaiian upon
     surrender by the holder hereof in person or by attorney duly authorized in
     writing, for another Warrant or other Warrants of different denominations,
     dated the date of such surrender, of like tenor and representing in the
     aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of Class A Common
     Stock (after giving effect to any adjustments therein).  Hawaiian shall not
     be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which

     will result in the issuance of a Warrant to purchase only a fraction of a
     share.

          3.  Adjustment of Number of Shares.
              ------------------------------ 

               (a) Upon any adjustment of the Current Warrant Price, as provided
     in Section 4 hereof, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable
     upon exercise of this Warrant shall be determined by dividing (i) the
     result obtained by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately
     prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
     issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment
     by (ii) the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.

               (b) No adjustment in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
     issuable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require
     an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such number; provided
     that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 3(b) are not required
     to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
     subsequent adjustment.

          4.  Adjustment of Warrant Price.
              --------------------------- 

               (a) In case Hawaiian shall at any time (i) issue or sell any
     shares of Common Equity (which term for all purposes hereof shall mean and
     include stock of Hawaiian of any class or series, whether now or hereafter
     authorized, the holders of which shall be entitled to participate in the
     distribution of earnings and assets of Hawaiian without limit as to amount
     or percentage, including Class A Common Stock, unless the holders of such
     stock shall be entitled to receive dividends or amounts distributable upon
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, senior in
     preference or priority to the holders of any outstanding stock of Hawaiian
     of any other class or series) without consideration, or for consideration
     per share less than the Current Market Price (determined as hereinafter
     provided), or (ii) issue or sell any securities convertible into, or
     exchangeable for, shares of Common Equity ("Convertible Securities") at a
     conversion price per share of Common Equity less than the Current Market
     Price, or (iii) issue or sell any warrants or other rights to subscribe to
     or purchase, or any options for the purchase of shares of Common Equity or
     Convertible Securities ("Rights or Options") at an exercise price per share
     of Common Equity less than the Current Market Price, then, and thereafter
     successively upon each such issuance or sale, except as provided below, the
     Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or

     sale (the "Current Warrant Price") shall simultaneously with such issuance
     or sale be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined
     by multiplying: (A) the Current Warrant Price by (B) a fraction of which
     the numerator shall be the aggregate number of shares of Common Equity
     outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale plus the number of
     shares of Common Equity which the aggregate consideration for the total
     number of shares of Common Equity, Convertible Securities and Rights or
     Options issued or sold as aforesaid would purchase at the Current Market
     Price, and of which the denominator shall be the aggregate number of shares
     of Common Equity outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale,
     plus the number of shares of Common Equity issued or sold as aforesaid and
     the maximum number of shares of Common Equity issuable with respect to such
     Convertible Securities and Rights or Options issued or sold as aforesaid.

               (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Current
     Warrant Price shall be made in any case in which Hawaiian shall issue (i)
     employee stock options, (ii) shares of Common Equity upon conversion or
     exchange of any Convertible Securities, (iii) shares of Common Equity or
     Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Rights or Options, or (iv) in
     consideration of the acquisition by Hawaiian or any subsidiary of all or
     substantially all of the stock of another company or all or substantially
     all the assets of another company (whether by merger, acquisition of assets
     or otherwise), any shares of Common Equity or any Convertible Securities or
     any Rights or Option.

               (c) Calculations pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof shall be made in
     accordance with the following provisions:

                         (i) "Current Market Price" on any day shall mean the
                    average of the daily closing prices of the Class A Common
                    Stock for the 30 consecutive business days commencing 35
                    business days before the day in question.  The closing price
                    for each day shall be the last reported sale price regular
                    way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such
                    date, the average of the reported closing bid and asked
                    prices regular way, in either case on the American Stock
                    Exchange, or, if such stock is not listed or admitted to
                    trading on such exchange, on the principal national
                    securities exchange on which such stock is listed or
                    admitted to trading, or if not listed or admitted to trading
                    on any national securities exchange, the average of the
                    closing bid 

                                       5

          and asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as furnished by any
          national brokerage firm selected from time to time by Hawaiian for
          that purpose. For the purposes of the foregoing provision, the term
          "business day" shall not include any day on which securities are not
          traded on such exchange or in such market.

                    (ii) In case of the issuance or sale of any securities of
          Hawaiian for cash, the consideration received by Hawaiian therefor
          shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by Hawaiian for such
          security (or if such securities are offered by Hawaiian for
          subscription, the subscription price, or, if such securities are sold
          to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription
          offer, the initial public offering price), without deducting therefrom
          any compensation or discount paid or allowed to underwriters or
          dealers or others performing similar services or for any expenses
          incurred in connection therewith.

                    (iii)   In case of the issuance or sale of any securities of
          Hawaiian for consideration other than cash or a consideration a part
          of which is other than cash, the amount of the consideration other
          than cash received by Hawaiian for such securities shall be deemed to
          be the fair value of such consideration as determined by its Board of
          Directors, which determination may be inconsistent with the accounting
          treatment thereof.

                    (iv) In case of the issuance or sale of Convertible
          Securities, the aggregate consideration therefor shall be deemed to be
          the consideration, if any, received at the time of such issuance or
          sale, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration,
          if any, payable to Hawaiian upon the conversion or exchange of such
          Convertible Securities at the time such Convertible Securities first
          become convertible or exchangeable.

                    (v) In case of the issuance or sale of Rights or Options,
          the aggregate consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the
          consideration, if any, received at the time of such issuance or sale,
          plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any,
          payable to Hawaiian upon the exercise of such Rights or Options, plus,
          in the case of Rights or Options to purchase Convertible Securities,
          the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any,
          payable to

          Hawaiian upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
          Securities at the time such Convertible Securities first become
          convertible or exchangeable.

                    (vi) In case of the issuance or sale of Convertible
          Securities or Rights or Options, the conversion or exercise price per
          share of Common Equity shall be determined by dividing the aggregate
          consideration for such Convertible Securities or Rights or Options by
          the maximum number of shares of Common Equity issuable with respect to
          such Convertible Securities or Rights or Options.

                    (vii)   The maximum number of shares of Common Equity
          issuable with respect to Convertible Securities or Rights or Options
          shall include the number of shares issuable upon conversion or
          exchange of such Convertible Securities or exercise of such Rights or
          Options, plus, in the case of Rights or Options to purchase
          Convertible Securities, the number of shares issuable upon conversion
          or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

                    (viii)  In case of the issuance of additional shares of
          Common Equity as a dividend or as the distribution on any capital
          stock of Hawaiian, the aggregate number of shares of Common Equity
          issued in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to
          have been issued on the record date for the determination of
          stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and
          shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.

                    (ix) The reclassification of securities other than Common
          Equity into securities including Common Equity shall be deemed to
          involve the issuance for consideration other than cash of such Common
          Equity on the record date for the determination of stockholders
          entitled to receive such Common Equity.

                    (x) The number of shares of Common Equity at any time
          outstanding shall include the maximum number of shares issuable at
          such time with respect to all Convertible Securities and Rights or
          Options then outstanding and unconverted or unexchanged or
          unexercised.

                    (xi) No adjustment provided for in Section 4(a) hereof shall
          be made if it results in 

                                       7

                                                                  Warrant No. 13

          an increase in the Current Warrant Price above the initial Warrant
          Price as adjusted only as provided in Section 4(d) hereof.

               (d) In case the outstanding shares of Common Equity shall be
     subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Equity, the Current
     Warrant Price shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such
     subdivision, be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the
     outstanding shares of Common Equity shall be combined into a smaller number
     of shares of Common Equity, the Current Warrant Price shall, simultaneously
     with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.

               (e) Whenever the Current Warrant Price shall be adjusted as
     herein provided, and from time to time, at the reasonable request of the
     holder hereof, Hawaiian will forthwith deliver to such holder a certificate
     signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an
     Assistant Treasurer of Hawaiian, showing in reasonable detail the facts
     requiring any such adjustment and stating the Current Warrant Price in
     effect on the date of such certificate after giving effect to any such
     adjustment.  Hawaiian may retain a firm of independent public accountants
     of recognized standing, selected by its Board of Directors to make any
     computation required under this Section 4, and the certificate signed by
     such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such
     computation.

          5.  Capital Reorganization, Reclassification or Merger.  In case the
              --------------------------------------------------              
Class A Common Stock shall be changed into another kind of capital stock of
Hawaiian (otherwise than through a subdivision or combination of shares) or
shall represent the right to receive some other security or property as a result
of any capital reorganization, reclassification or merger into or consolidation
with another company, or sale of all or substantially all the assets of Hawaiian
to another company, this Warrant shall (subject to further adjustments in the
Warrant Price as herein provided) thereafter entitle the holder hereof to
acquire upon exercise hereof the kind and number of shares of stock or other
securities or property to which such holder would have been entitled if such
holder had held the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or sale of assets.

          6.  Reservation of Shares.  Hawaiian shall at all times reserve and
              ---------------------                                          
keep available, out of its treasury stock or authorized and unissued stock,
solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, such number of
shares

                                                                  Warrant No. 13

of Class A Common Stock and other securities of Hawaiian as shall, from
time to time, be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant.  All shares
of Class A Common Stock issued on exercise of this Warrant shall be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

          7.  Holder of Warrant.  Hawaiian may deem and treat the person in
              -----------------                                            
whose name this Warrant is registered as the absolute owner hereof for all
purposes and Hawaiian shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.  No
holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be entitled to vote on or be deemed for
any purpose the holder of Class A Common Stock or any other securities of
Hawaiian which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof.

          8.  Demand Registration Rights.  As soon as practicable after
              --------------------------                               
Hawaiian's receipt of a request, made at any time during the period commencing
with the date on which Hawaiian has filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended March 31, 1995 and before December 31, 1997, of holders of
Class A Common Stock heretofore issued upon exercise of Warrants and/or of
Warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock aggregating not less than five hundred
thousand shares to register such shares of Class A Common Stock ("Registrable
Securities") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), Hawaiian shall cause
a registration statement to be filed with respect to the number of such shares
specified in the request and shall use its best efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to become effective.  Hawaiian shall not be required to
cause more than one registration statement to be filed pursuant to this Section
8.  Hawaiian shall be entitled to include other securities of Hawaiian to be
offered by Hawaiian or other stockholders of Hawaiian, in such registration
statement; provided, however, that such requesting stockholders may request that
any such other securities of Hawaiian not be included in the registration
statement if they shall be advised by the investment banking firm managing the
underwriting that it reasonably believes that such inclusion would adversely
affect the offering of the shares to be covered by the proposed registration
statement.  Hawaiian shall be entitled to postpone the filing of any such
registration statement for a reasonable period of time if (a) Hawaiian is, at
the time at which it receives any such request, conducting or is about to
conduct an offering of its securities and Hawaiian reasonably believes that such
offering would be adversely affected by the registration requested, (b) such
request is received by Hawaiian within six months after the effective date of a
registration statement of Hawaiian and, prior to the filing of such registration
statement, Hawaiian has complied with its obligations under Section 9 hereof, or
(c) the filing of the registration statement would require Hawaiian to furnish
audited financial

statements other than the audited financial statements customarily prepared at
the end of its fiscal year or unaudited financial information with respect to
any period other than its regularly reported interim quarterly periods.

          9.  Piggy-back Registration Rights.
              ------------------------------ 

              (a) For five years following the date hereof, at any time Hawaiian
     proposes to file a registration statement under the Act with respect to an
     offering by Hawaiian [for its own account or] the account of its holders
     shares of Class A Common Stock (other than a registration statement on Form
     S-4 or S-8 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Securities
     and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")) or filed in connection with an
     exchange offer or an offering of securities solely to Hawaiian's existing
     security holders), then Hawaiian shall in each such case give written
     notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Warrants and holders of
     Registrable Securities as soon as practicable (but in no event less than 15
     days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such
     holders the opportunity to register such shares of Registrable Securities
     as such holder may request.

              (b) Hawaiian shall use its best efforts to cause any managing
     underwriter or underwriters of such proposed underwritten offering to
     permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the
     registration statement for such offering to be included on the same terms
     and conditions as any similar securities of Hawaiian included therein.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters
     of such offering advise Hawaiian that they reasonably believe that the
     success of the offering would be materially and adversely affected by
     inclusion of the Registrable Securities requested to be included, such
     amount of Registrable Securities as shall be required to substantially
     eliminate the adverse effect in the judgment of the managing underwriter or
     underwriters, will be excluded from such offering. In the case of a non-
     underwritten offering, Hawaiian may decline to include any Registrable
     Securities in a registration statement pursuant to Section 9(a) if it
     reasonably believes that such inclusion would adversely affect the offering
     of the securities to be covered by the proposed registration statement .

              (c) To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each
     holder whose securities are included in the registration statement pursuant
     to this Section 9 agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of

                                       10

                                                                  Warrant No. 13

     the issue being registered or a similar security of Hawaiian, including a
     sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, during the 14 days prior to, and
     during the 60-day period beginning on, the effective date of such
     registration statement (except as part of such registration), if and to the
     extent requested by Hawaiian in the case of the non-underwritten public
     offering or if and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter or
     underwriters in the case of an underwritten public offering.

          10.  Registration Expenses.  The out-of-pocket expenses of any
               ---------------------                                    
registration pursuant to Section 8 or Section 9 shall be borne by Hawaiian,
except each holder proposing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the
registration shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to
his shares and all legal fees and expenses, if any, of his own counsel;
provided, however, that if the out-of-pocket expenses of the registration
pursuant to Section 9 are being borne by a person other than Hawaiian, each
holder proposing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration
shall pay his pro rata share of the out-of-pocket expenses of such registration.

          11.  State Securities Laws.  In connection with the offering of any
               ---------------------                                         
Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Warrant, Hawaiian shall take
such action as may be necessary to qualify or register the Registrable
Securities to be sold under the Securities or "blue sky" laws of such
jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by such holder or his underwriters;
provided, however, that Hawaiian will not be required to (a) qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
qualify but for this Section, (b) subject itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction or (c) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction.  The expenses of such qualification or registration shall be borne
by Hawaiian in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 8 and shall be
borne pro rata by the holders and any other party registering shares pursuant to
such registration statement in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 9.

          12.  Indemnification and Contribution.
               -------------------------------- 

     (a) Hawaiian agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each holder of
     Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each person,
     if any, who controls such holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
     Act or Section 20 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
     Act") from and against any and all lawsuits, claims, damages, liabilities
     and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) arising out

                                                                  Warrant No. 13

     of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statements of a material fact
     contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the
     Registrable Securities or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
     preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or
     alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
     therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except
     insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out
     of, or are based upon, any such untrue statement or omission or allegation
     thereof made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished
     in writing to Hawaiian by such holder or on such holder's behalf expressly
     for use therein; provided that, with respect to any untrue statement or
     omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary
     prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall not
     apply to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense
     results from the fact that a current copy of the prospectus was not sent or
     given to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
     expense at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such
     Registrable Securities to such person if it is determined that it was the
     responsibility of such holder to provide such person with a current copy of
     the prospectus and such current copy of the prospectus would have cured the
     defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense.
     Hawaiian also agrees to indemnify and provide contribution arrangements to
     the underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and
     directors and each person who controls such underwriters on substantially
     the same basis as that of the indemnification of a holder provided in this
     Section 12(a).

              (b) Each holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Hawaiian,
     its officers, directors and agents and each person, if any, who controls
     Hawaiian within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20
     of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from
     Hawaiian to such holder, but only with respect to such information
     furnished in writing by such holder or on such holder's behalf expressly
     for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the
     Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
     preliminary prospectus. Each holder also agrees to indemnify and provide
     contribution arrangements to the underwriters of the Registrable
     Securities, their officers and directors and each person who controls such
     underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of 

                                       12

                                                                  Warrant No. 13

     the indemnification of Hawaiian provided in this Section 12(b).

     (c) Indemnification Procedures.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
         --------------------------                                           
     party under Section 12(a) or Section 12(b) above of notice of the
     commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall notify the
     indemnifying party.  The failure to notify the indemnifying party shall
     relieve it from any liability hereunder with respect to the action.  In
     case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
     notifies any indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
     indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of
     the action at its expense and if the indemnifying party gives notice to
     such indemnified party of its election to assume and control the defense,
     the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any
     legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in
     connection with the defense or investigation of the action.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party shall have the right
     to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the
     defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
     expense of such indemnified party or such controlling person unless (i) the
     indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses or (ii) the
     named parties to any such action or proceeding include both the
     indemnifying party and the indemnified party and each of the indemnifying
     party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that
     counsel employed by the indemnifying party would, under applicable
     professional standards, have a conflict in representing both the
     indemnified party and the indemnifying party, it being understood, however,
     that such indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any such action
     or proceeding or separate, but substantially similar or related actions or
     proceedings, in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
     allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and
     expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for such
     indemnified party and controlling persons thereof.

NOTICE:  THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE HAVE NOT BEEN
         REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR QUALIFIED UNDER OTHER
         SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT OR SUCH

         THE SALE, ASSIGNMENT OR OTHER DISPOSITION (EACH A "TRANSFER") OF THIS
         WARRANT IS RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS OF THE RIGHTSHOLDERS AGREEMENT,
         DATED AS OF JANUARY 31, 1996, BY AND AMONG THE COMPANY, AIRLINE

                                WARRANT FOR THE
                          PURCHASE OF 93,678 SHARES OF
                               CLASS A COMMON STOCK


                                   VOID AFTER
                                SEPTEMBER 12, 1999

          For value received, this Warrant entitles Robert Midkiff and his
successors and assigns, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth, to purchase from Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. ("Hawaiian") 93,678 fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of
Hawaiian (the "Class A Common Stock"), subject to adjustment as hereinafter
provided upon payment therefor to Hawaiian of $1.71 per share (the "Warrant
Price"), subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.  This is one of 6
warrants issued concurrently for the purchase of Class A Common Stock of
Hawaiian, all of which are on the same terms and are referred to collectively as
the "Warrants."

          1.  Exercise.
              -------- 

               (a) This Warrant is exercisable at the option of the holder
     hereof in whole or in part from time to time on or before September 12,
     1999.

               (b) Before the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to
     exercise the same, he shall surrender this Warrant at the principal office
     of Hawaiian accompanied by funds in the amount of the Warrant Price payable
     upon 

                                       1

                                                                  Warrant No. 16

     such exercise plus any tax or taxes payable or which may be payable by
     such holder in respect of such exercise, and shall give written notice to
     Hawaiian at such office that such holder elects to exercise this Warrant,
     and shall state therein the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or
     other securities issuable upon such exercise and the name or names in which
     he wishes the certificate or certificates for such shares of Class A Common
     Stock or other securities to be issued.  Hawaiian will, as soon as
     practicable after such surrender of this Warrant accompanied by the written
     notice and the statement described above, Hawaiian shall requisition from
     the then transfer agent for Hawaiian a certificate or certificates for
     shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance and delivery to or on the
     written order of the registered holder of such Warrant and in such name or
     names as such registered holder may designate.  Such certificate or
     certificates shall represent the number of whole shares of Class A Common
     Stock issuable on such exercise, together with a cash amount for any
     fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock otherwise issuable on such
     exercise.

               (c) Certificates representing such shares shall be deemed to have
     been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be
     deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares as of the date of
     surrender of a Warrant and payment of the Warrant Price as provided herein,
     provided that if, at the date of surrender of such Warrant and payment of
     such Warrant Price, the transfer books for the Class A Common Stock or
     other class of stock purchasable on the exercise of such Warrant shall be
     closed, the certificates for the shares in respect of which such Warrant is
     then exercised shall be issuable as of the date on which such books shall
     next be opened and until such date, Hawaiian shall be under no duty to
     deliver any certificate for such shares.  Each Warrant shall be exercisable
     at the election of the registered holder thereof, either as an entirety or
     from time to time for part of the number of whole shares specified in the
     Warrant, but in no event shall fractional shares be issued.  In the event
     of any partial exercise, a new Warrant will be issued to the registered
     holder to evidence such holder's Warrant to purchase the number of shares
     as to which the Warrant has not been exercised.  No adjustment shall be
     made for any cash dividends on shares issuable on the exercise of any
     Warrant.

          2.  Transfer and Exchange.
              --------------------- 

               (a) Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles of
     Incorporation of Hawaiian, the transfer of outstanding securities (defined
     as any interest in the corporation that will be treated as stock under
     Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code) of Hawaiian (including this
     Warrant) is subject to significant restrictions until the earlier of the
     occurrence of certain events or September 12, 1997.  Unless such
     restrictions are waived by the Board of Directors or are subject to certain
     exceptions set forth in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation,
     until such expiration, no transfer of this Warrant shall be permitted if
     such transfer would increase the percentage of outstanding securities owned
     by or attributed to any person (individually or through attribution as part
     of a group or pursuant to the option attribution rules) who owns, or by
     virtue of such transfer would own, or has at any time since September 12,
     1994 owned, more than 4.75% of the outstanding securities of Hawaiian.  Any
     attempted transfer in violation of the restriction generally will be void,
     and could subject the transferor and transferee to losses and damages.
     Reference is hereby made to Hawaiian's Amended and Restated Articles of
     Incorporation for a full description of certain restrictions on the
     transfer of outstanding securities of Hawaiian, including this Warrant.

               (b) Subject to the restrictions described in Section 2(a) hereof,
     this Warrant may be transferred at the principal office of Hawaiian upon
     its surrender by the holder thereof in person or by attorney duly
     authorized in writing.  Upon such surrender, a new Warrant or new Warrants
     of different denominations will be issued to the transferee or transferees,
     dated the date of such surrender, of like tenor and representing in the
     aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of Class A Common
     Stock (after giving effect to any adjustments therein).

               (c) Subject to the restrictions described in Section 2(a) hereof,
     this Warrant may be exchanged at the principal office of Hawaiian upon
     surrender by the holder hereof in person or by attorney duly authorized in
     writing, for another Warrant or other Warrants of different denominations,
     dated the date of such surrender, of like tenor and representing in the
     aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of Class A Common
     Stock (after giving effect to any adjustments therein).  Hawaiian shall not
     be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which

     will result in the issuance of a Warrant to purchase only a fraction of 
     a share.

          3.  Adjustment of Number of Shares.
              ------------------------------ 

               (a) Upon any adjustment of the Current Warrant Price, as provided
     in Section 4 hereof, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable
     upon exercise of this Warrant shall be determined by dividing (i) the
     result obtained by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately
     prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
     issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment
     by (ii) the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.

               (b) No adjustment in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
     issuable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require
     an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such number; provided
     that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 3(b) are not required
     to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
     subsequent adjustment.

          4.  Adjustment of Warrant Price.
              --------------------------- 

               (a) In case Hawaiian shall at any time (i) issue or sell any
     shares of Common Equity (which term for all purposes hereof shall mean and
     include stock of Hawaiian of any class or series, whether now or hereafter
     authorized, the holders of which shall be entitled to participate in the
     distribution of earnings and assets of Hawaiian without limit as to amount
     or percentage, including Class A Common Stock, unless the holders of such
     stock shall be entitled to receive dividends or amounts distributable upon
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, senior in
     preference or priority to the holders of any outstanding stock of Hawaiian
     of any other class or series) without consideration, or for consideration
     per share less than the Current Market Price (determined as hereinafter
     provided), or (ii) issue or sell any securities convertible into, or
     exchangeable for, shares of Common Equity ("Convertible Securities") at a
     conversion price per share of Common Equity less than the Current Market
     Price, or (iii) issue or sell any warrants or other rights to subscribe to
     or purchase, or any options for the purchase of shares of Common Equity or
     Convertible Securities ("Rights or Options") at an exercise price per share
     of Common Equity less than the Current Market Price, then, and thereafter
     successively upon each such issuance or sale, except as provided below, the
     Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or

                                                                  Warrant No. 16

     sale (the "Current Warrant Price") shall simultaneously with such issuance
     or sale be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined
     by multiplying: (A) the Current Warrant Price by (B) a fraction of which
     the numerator shall be the aggregate number of shares of Common Equity
     outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale plus the number of
     shares of Common Equity which the aggregate consideration for the total
     number of shares of Common Equity, Convertible Securities and Rights or
     Options issued or sold as aforesaid would purchase at the Current Market
     Price, and of which the denominator shall be the aggregate number of shares
     of Common Equity outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale,
     plus the number of shares of Common Equity issued or sold as aforesaid and
     the maximum number of shares of Common Equity issuable with respect to such
     Convertible Securities and Rights or Options issued or sold as aforesaid.

               (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Current
     Warrant Price shall be made in any case in which Hawaiian shall issue (i)
     employee stock options, (ii) shares of Common Equity upon conversion or
     exchange of any Convertible Securities, (iii) shares of Common Equity or
     Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Rights or Options, or (iv) in
     consideration of the acquisition by Hawaiian or any subsidiary of all or
     substantially all of the stock of another company or all or substantially
     all the assets of another company (whether by merger, acquisition of assets
     or otherwise), any shares of Common Equity or any Convertible Securities or
     any Rights or Option.

               (c) Calculations pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof shall be made in
     accordance with the following provisions:

                         (i) "Current Market Price" on any day shall mean the
                    average of the daily closing prices of the Class A Common
                    Stock for the 30 consecutive business days commencing 35
                    business days before the day in question.  The closing price
                    for each day shall be the last reported sale price regular
                    way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such
                    date, the average of the reported closing bid and asked
                    prices regular way, in either case on the American Stock
                    Exchange, or, if such stock is not listed or admitted to
                    trading on such exchange, on the principal national
                    securities exchange on which such stock is listed or
                    admitted to trading, or if not listed or admitted to trading
                    on any national securities exchange, the average of the
                    closing bid

                    and asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as
                    furnished by any national brokerage firm selected from time
                    to time by Hawaiian for that purpose. For the purposes of
                    the foregoing provision, the term "business day" shall not
                    include any day on which securities are not traded on such
                    exchange or in such market.

                    (ii) In case of the issuance or sale of any securities of
          Hawaiian for cash, the consideration received by Hawaiian therefor
          shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by Hawaiian for such
          security (or if such securities are offered by Hawaiian for
          subscription, the subscription price, or, if such securities are sold
          to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription
          offer, the initial public offering price), without deducting therefrom
          any compensation or discount paid or allowed to underwriters or
          dealers or others performing similar services or for any expenses
          incurred in connection therewith.

                    (iii)   In case of the issuance or sale of any securities of
          Hawaiian for consideration other than cash or a consideration a part
          of which is other than cash, the amount of the consideration other
          than cash received by Hawaiian for such securities shall be deemed to
          be the fair value of such consideration as determined by its Board of
          Directors, which determination may be inconsistent with the accounting
          treatment thereof.

                    (iv) In case of the issuance or sale of Convertible
          Securities, the aggregate consideration therefor shall be deemed to be
          the consideration, if any, received at the time of such issuance or
          sale, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration,
          if any, payable to Hawaiian upon the conversion or exchange of such
          Convertible Securities at the time such Convertible Securities first
          become convertible or exchangeable.

                    (v) In case of the issuance or sale of Rights or Options,
          the aggregate consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the
          consideration, if any, received at the time of such issuance or sale,
          plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any,
          payable to Hawaiian upon the exercise of such Rights or Options, plus,
          in the case of Rights or Options to purchase Convertible Securities,
          the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any,
          payable to

          Hawaiian upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
          Securities at the time such Convertible Securities first become
          convertible or exchangeable.

                    (vi) In case of the issuance or sale of Convertible
          Securities or Rights or Options, the conversion or exercise price per
          share of Common Equity shall be determined by dividing the aggregate
          consideration for such Convertible Securities or Rights or Options by
          the maximum number of shares of Common Equity issuable with respect to
          such Convertible Securities or Rights or Options.

                    (vii)   The maximum number of shares of Common Equity
          issuable with respect to Convertible Securities or Rights or Options
          shall include the number of shares issuable upon conversion or
          exchange of such Convertible Securities or exercise of such Rights or
          Options, plus, in the case of Rights or Options to purchase
          Convertible Securities, the number of shares issuable upon conversion
          or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

                    (viii)  In case of the issuance of additional shares of
          Common Equity as a dividend or as the distribution on any capital
          stock of Hawaiian, the aggregate number of shares of Common Equity
          issued in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to
          have been issued on the record date for the determination of
          stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and
          shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.

                    (ix) The reclassification of securities other than Common
          Equity into securities including Common Equity shall be deemed to
          involve the issuance for consideration other than cash of such Common
          Equity on the record date for the determination of stockholders
          entitled to receive such Common Equity.

                    (x) The number of shares of Common Equity at any time
          outstanding shall include the maximum number of shares issuable at
          such time with respect to all Convertible Securities and Rights or
          Options then outstanding and unconverted or unexchanged or
          unexercised.

                    (xi) No adjustment provided for in Section 4(a) hereof shall
          be made if it results in

          an increase in the Current Warrant Price above the initial Warrant
          Price as adjusted only as provided in Section 4(d) hereof.

               (d) In case the outstanding shares of Common Equity shall be
     subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Equity, the Current
     Warrant Price shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such
     subdivision, be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the
     outstanding shares of Common Equity shall be combined into a smaller number
     of shares of Common Equity, the Current Warrant Price shall, simultaneously
     with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.

               (e) Whenever the Current Warrant Price shall be adjusted as
     herein provided, and from time to time, at the reasonable request of the
     holder hereof, Hawaiian will forthwith deliver to such holder a certificate
     signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an
     Assistant Treasurer of Hawaiian, showing in reasonable detail the facts
     requiring any such adjustment and stating the Current Warrant Price in
     effect on the date of such certificate after giving effect to any such
     adjustment.  Hawaiian may retain a firm of independent public accountants
     of recognized standing, selected by its Board of Directors to make any
     computation required under this Section 4, and the certificate signed by
     such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such
     computation.

          5.  Capital Reorganization, Reclassification or Merger.  In case the
              --------------------------------------------------              
Class A Common Stock shall be changed into another kind of capital stock of
Hawaiian (otherwise than through a subdivision or combination of shares) or
shall represent the right to receive some other security or property as a result
of any capital reorganization, reclassification or merger into or consolidation
with another company, or sale of all or substantially all the assets of Hawaiian
to another company, this Warrant shall (subject to further adjustments in the
Warrant Price as herein provided) thereafter entitle the holder hereof to
acquire upon exercise hereof the kind and number of shares of stock or other
securities or property to which such holder would have been entitled if such
holder had held the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or sale of assets.

          6.  Reservation of Shares.  Hawaiian shall at all times reserve and
              ---------------------                                          
keep available, out of its treasury stock or authorized and unissued stock,
solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, such number of
shares

of Class A Common Stock and other securities of Hawaiian as shall, from
time to time, be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant.  All shares
of Class A Common Stock issued on exercise of this Warrant shall be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

          7.  Holder of Warrant.  Hawaiian may deem and treat the person in
              -----------------                                            
whose name this Warrant is registered as the absolute owner hereof for all
purposes and Hawaiian shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.  No
holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be entitled to vote on or be deemed for
any purpose the holder of Class A Common Stock or any other securities of
Hawaiian which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof.

          8.  Demand Registration Rights.  As soon as practicable after
              --------------------------                               
Hawaiian's receipt of a request, made at any time during the period commencing
with the date on which Hawaiian has filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended March 31, 1995 and before December 31, 1997, of holders of
Class A Common Stock heretofore issued upon exercise of Warrants and/or of
Warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock aggregating not less than five hundred
thousand shares to register such shares of Class A Common Stock ("Registrable
Securities") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), Hawaiian shall cause
a registration statement to be filed with respect to the number of such shares
specified in the request and shall use its best efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to become effective.  Hawaiian shall not be required to
cause more than one registration statement to be filed pursuant to this Section
8.  Hawaiian shall be entitled to include other securities of Hawaiian to be
offered by Hawaiian or other stockholders of Hawaiian, in such registration
statement; provided, however, that such requesting stockholders may request that
any such other securities of Hawaiian not be included in the registration
statement if they shall be advised by the investment banking firm managing the
underwriting that it reasonably believes that such inclusion would adversely
affect the offering of the shares to be covered by the proposed registration
statement.  Hawaiian shall be entitled to postpone the filing of any such
registration statement for a reasonable period of time if (a) Hawaiian is, at
the time at which it receives any such request, conducting or is about to
conduct an offering of its securities and Hawaiian reasonably believes that such
offering would be adversely affected by the registration requested, (b) such
request is received by Hawaiian within six months after the effective date of a
registration statement of Hawaiian and, prior to the filing of such registration
statement, Hawaiian has complied with its obligations under Section 9 hereof, or
(c) the filing of the registration statement would require Hawaiian to furnish
audited financial

                                                                  Warrant No. 16

statements other than the audited financial statements customarily prepared at
the end of its fiscal year or unaudited financial information with respect to
any period other than its regularly reported interim quarterly periods.

          9.  Piggy-back Registration Rights.
              ------------------------------ 

     (a) For five years following the date hereof, at any time Hawaiian proposes
     to file a registration statement under the Act with respect to an offering
     by Hawaiian [for its own account or] the account of its holders shares of
     Class A Common Stock (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-
     8 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Securities and
     Exchange Commission (the "Commission")) or filed in connection with an
     exchange offer or an offering of securities solely to Hawaiian's existing
     security holders), then Hawaiian shall in each such case give written
     notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Warrants and holders of
     Registrable Securities as soon as practicable (but in no event less than 15
     days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such
     holders the opportunity to register such shares of Registrable Securities
     as such holder may request.

     (b) Hawaiian shall use its best efforts to cause any managing underwriter
     or underwriters of such proposed underwritten offering to permit the
     Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration
     statement for such offering to be included on the same terms and conditions
     as any similar securities of Hawaiian included therein.  Notwithstanding
     the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering
     advise Hawaiian that they reasonably believe that the success of the
     offering would be materially and adversely affected by inclusion of the
     Registrable Securities requested to be included, such amount of Registrable
     Securities as shall be required to substantially eliminate the adverse
     effect in the judgment of the managing underwriter or underwriters, will be
     excluded from such offering.  In the case of a non-underwritten offering,
     Hawaiian may decline to include any Registrable Securities in a
     registration statement pursuant to Section 9(a) if it reasonably believes
     that such inclusion would adversely affect the offering of the securities
     to be covered by the proposed registration statement .

     (c) To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each holder whose
     securities are included in the registration statement pursuant to this
     Section 9 agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of 

                                       10

                                                                  Warrant No. 16

     the issue being registered or a similar security of Hawaiian, including a
     sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, during the 14 days prior to, and
     during the 60-day period beginning on, the effective date of such
     registration statement (except as part of such registration), if and to the
     extent requested by Hawaiian in the case of the non-underwritten public
     offering or if and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter or
     underwriters in the case of an underwritten public offering.

          10.  Registration Expenses.  The out-of-pocket expenses of any
               ---------------------                                    
registration pursuant to Section 8 or Section 9 shall be borne by Hawaiian,
except each holder proposing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the
registration shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to
his shares and all legal fees and expenses, if any, of his own counsel;
provided, however, that if the out-of-pocket expenses of the registration
pursuant to Section 9 are being borne by a person other than Hawaiian, each
holder proposing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration
shall pay his pro rata share of the out-of-pocket expenses of such registration.

          11.  State Securities Laws.  In connection with the offering of any
               ---------------------                                         
Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Warrant, Hawaiian shall take
such action as may be necessary to qualify or register the Registrable
Securities to be sold under the Securities or "blue sky" laws of such
jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by such holder or his underwriters;
provided, however, that Hawaiian will not be required to (a) qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
qualify but for this Section, (b) subject itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction or (c) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction.  The expenses of such qualification or registration shall be borne
by Hawaiian in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 8 and shall be
borne pro rata by the holders and any other party registering shares pursuant to
such registration statement in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 9.

          12.  Indemnification and Contribution.
               -------------------------------- 

     (a) Hawaiian agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each holder of
     Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each person,
     if any, who controls such holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
     Act or Section 20 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
     Act") from and against any and all lawsuits, claims, damages, liabilities
     and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) arising out

                                                                  Warrant No. 16

     of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statements of a material fact
     contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the
     Registrable Securities or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
     preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or
     alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
     therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except
     insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out
     of, or are based upon, any such untrue statement or omission or allegation
     thereof made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished
     in writing to Hawaiian by such holder or on such holder's behalf expressly
     for use therein; provided that, with respect to any untrue statement or
     omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary
     prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall not
     apply to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense
     results from the fact that a current copy of the prospectus was not sent or
     given to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
     expense at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such
     Registrable Securities to such person if it is determined that it was the
     responsibility of such holder to provide such person with a current copy of
     the prospectus and such current copy of the prospectus would have cured the
     defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense.
     Hawaiian also agrees to indemnify and provide contribution arrangements to
     the underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and
     directors and each person who controls such underwriters on substantially
     the same basis as that of the indemnification of a holder provided in this
     Section 12(a).

     (b) Each holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Hawaiian, its
     officers, directors and agents and each person, if any, who controls
     Hawaiian within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20
     of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from
     Hawaiian to such holder, but only with respect to such information
     furnished in writing by such holder or on such holder's behalf expressly
     for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the
     Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
     preliminary prospectus.  Each holder also agrees to indemnify and provide
     contribution arrangements to the underwriters of the Registrable
     Securities, their officers and directors and each person who controls such
     underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of

                                                                  Warrant No. 16

     the indemnification of Hawaiian provided in this Section 12(b).

     (c) Indemnification Procedures.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
         --------------------------                                           
     party under Section 12(a) or Section 12(b) above of notice of the
     commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall notify the
     indemnifying party.  The failure to notify the indemnifying party shall
     relieve it from any liability hereunder with respect to the action.  In
     case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
     notifies any indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
     indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of
     the action at its expense and if the indemnifying party gives notice to
     such indemnified party of its election to assume and control the defense,
     the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any
     legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in
     connection with the defense or investigation of the action.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party shall have the right
     to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the
     defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
     expense of such indemnified party or such controlling person unless (i) the
     indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses or (ii) the
     named parties to any such action or proceeding include both the
     indemnifying party and the indemnified party and each of the indemnifying
     party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that
     counsel employed by the indemnifying party would, under applicable
     professional standards, have a conflict in representing both the
     indemnified party and the indemnifying party, it being understood, however,
     that such indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any such action
     or proceeding or separate, but substantially similar or related actions or
     proceedings, in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
     allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and
     expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for such
     indemnified party and controlling persons thereof.

          13.  Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be
               -------

terminated orally, but may be amended or terminated in writing at any time by
agreement between Hawaiian and the holder hereof.  This Warrant shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State
of Hawaii.

          15.  Rightsholders Agreement.  This Warrant is subject to all of the

into this Lease Agreement, and any documents contemplated hereby, Lessee makes
the following representations and warranties, each of which shall survive the

         (i) Lessee is a corporation duly incorporated under the laws of the

     of the State of Hawaii and has its chief executive office in Honolulu,

     action on the part of Lessee, does not require any approval of stockholders

     any of the terms and provisions hereof, do not contravene any provisions of
     the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of Lessee, or result in any breach
     of, or constitute any default under, or result in the creation of any Lien
     upon any assets or property of Lessee under, any (A) indenture, mortgage,
     lease, chattel mortgage, deed of trust, conditional sales contract, bank
     loan, credit agreement or other material agreement or instrument to which
     Lessee is a party or by which Lessee or its properties may be bound or
     affected other than the Lien under this Lease and Permitted Liens, or (B)
     Applicable Law;

         (iii)  the execution and delivery by Lessee of this Lease, and the
     performance by Lessee of any of the transactions contemplated hereby do not
     require the consent or approval of, or registration with, or the giving or
     prior notice to any Person, including any federal, state or foreign
     governmental authority or entity having appropriate jurisdiction, except
     (A) any such consent, approval, notice registration, notice or action that
     has been obtained or as would not affect the validity, enforceability or
     binding nature of this Lease, and (B) routine reporting requirements of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission, the FAA, the DOT or other Governmental
     Authorities after the Delivery Date;

                                      -17-
<PAGE>
 
         (iv) this Lease has been duly executed and delivered by Lessee, and
     this Lease, together with Lease Supplement No. 1 when executed and
     delivered by Lessee, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations
     of Lessee, fully enforceable, except as set forth on Schedule 4(d)(iv), in
     accordance with their respective terms;

         (v) except as set forth on Schedule 4(d)(v), there are no pending or,
     to the knowledge of Lessee, threatened investigations, suits or proceedings
     against it or affecting it or its properties or operations, that, if
     determined adversely, would materially adversely affect it, the
     consummation of the transactions described in, or the performance of its
     obligations under, this Lease Agreement or affect the right, title or
     interest of Lessor in the Aircraft;

         (vi) except as set forth on Schedule 4(d)(vi), Lessee is not in
     violation of, or in default under, any law, ordinance, order, regulation or
     authorization of any Governmental Authority or any permit or certificate
     issued or granted by any Governmental Authority, that could have a material
     adverse effect on the business or condition (financial or otherwise) of
     Lessee;

         (vii)  except as set forth in Schedule 4(d)(vii), Lessee is not in
     default, and no condition exists that with notice or lapse of time or both
     would constitute a default, under any mortgage, deed of trust, indenture,
     or other instrument or agreement to which it is a party,  or by which it or
     any of its properties or assets may be bound, that would have a material
     adverse effect on any of the actions described in, or on its ability to
     perform its obligations under, this Lease, and it is not in breach of any
     Applicable Law that would have a material adverse effect on it, or any of
     the actions described in, or on its ability to perform its obligations
     under, this Lease;

         (viii)  except for the filing for recordation of this Lease, and Lease
     Supplement No. 1, and the placing on the Aircraft and on each Engine of the
     plates containing the legends referred to in Section 7(f) hereof, no
     further filing or recording of this Lease or of any other document
     (including any financing statement under Article 9 of the Uniform
     Commercial Code) and no further action is necessary or advisable, under the
     laws of the United States of America or the State of Hawaii, in order to
     fully protect and establish Lessor's title to, and interest in, the
     Aircraft and the Engines as against Lessee or any third parties;

         (ix) the financial and written information furnished by Lessee in
     connection with this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby
     does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
     material fact;

         (x) No Default or Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is
     continuing hereunder;

         (xi) Lessee has assets in excess of $5,000,000.00 according to its most
     recent financial statement prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles and is not a "consumer" as that term is defined in
     Section 17.45 of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection
     Act;

                                      -18-
<PAGE>
 
         (xii)  Lessee is not a consumer as defined by Hawaii Revised Statutes
     Section 480-1 (1992 Supp.), and therefore has no right to bring an action
     or pursue damages based upon unfair or deceptive acts or practices under
     that Section;

         (xiii)  Lessee is an air carrier under 14 C.F.R. Part 121; and

         (xiv)  Lessor shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of the
     Bankruptcy Code with respect to its rights of repossession of the Aircraft,
     any Engines, any appliances or spare parts, each as defined in such Section
     1110 of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to Section 14A hereof.

     (e) Lessor's Representations and Warranties.  To induce Lessee to enter
         ---------------------------------------                            
into this Lease Agreement, Lessor makes the following representations and
warranties each of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Lease
Agreement and the Delivery Date:

     duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Lessor, do
     not require any approval of stockholders of Lessor (or if such approval is

     hereof, and/or the consummation by Lessor of the transactions contemplated
     hereby, and/or compliance by Lessor with any of the terms and provisions

     any assets or property of Lessor under, any (A) indenture, mortgage, lease,
     chattel mortgage, deed of trust, conditional sales contract, bank loan,
     credit agreement or other material agreement or instrument to which Lessor
     is a party or by which Lessor or its properties may be bound or materially
     affected, which breach or default would have a material adverse effect on
     its ability to perform the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or

     have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform the transactions
     contemplated by this Agreement;

     performance by Lessor of its obligations under this Agreement do not

     prior notice to, any Person including any federal, state  or foreign
     Governmental Authority or entity having appropriate jurisdiction, except

     constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Lessor, fully
     enforceable against Lessor in accordance with its terms;

         (iv) Lessor is not in default, and no condition exists that with notice
     or lapse of time or both would constitute a default, under any material
     mortgage, deed of trust,

                                      -19-
<PAGE>
 
     indenture, or other instrument or agreement to which it is a party, or
     by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound, that would
     have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations
     under this Agreement;

         (v) there are no pending or, to the knowledge of Lessor, threatened
     investigations, suits or proceedings against it or affecting it or its

     effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

         (vii)  Lessor is certificated under 14 C.F.R. Part 121 to perform
     Maintenance Services; and

Tulsa, Oklahoma (TUL), Marana, Arizona (MZJ), Amarillo, Texas (AMA), Dallas/Fort

available for inspection by Lessor and its representatives and designees.  At
the time of the return of the Return Aircraft:

         (i) the Return Aircraft shall be in compliance with the Return
     Conditions as set forth in Exhibit D;

         (ii) the Return Aircraft shall be in compliance with Lessee's FAA-

         (iii)  each Item of Equipment and Engine shall be free and clear of all
     Liens (except any Head Lease Lessor's Liens or Lessor's Liens);

         (iv) the Return Aircraft shall be in the same passenger configuration
     as when delivered to Lessee, and each Item of Equipment shall be in as good
     an operating condition as when delivered to the Lessee on the Delivery
     Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted;

     have no obligation with respect to the amount of fuel or oil contained in
     the Airframe and all fuel or oil remaining on board the Airframe shall be
     the property of Lessor without charge and (ii) Lessee shall deliver or

                                      -20-
<PAGE>
 
     cause to be delivered to Lessor all logs, manuals and data, and inspection,
     modification and overhaul records required to be maintained with respect
     thereto under applicable rules and regulations of the FAA;

         (vi) Subject to the availability of storage space, upon the termination
     of the Lease as to the Aircraft, upon request of Lessor, Lessee shall
     provide Lessor with storage facilities for such Return Aircraft for a
     period not exceeding ninety (90) days in accordance with the applicable
     manufacturer's recommendations for storage and FAA regulations and shall
     arrange for insurance and maintenance (performance of such maintenance
     subject to the availability  of Lessee's employees) for such Return
     Aircraft during such storage period.  The Lessor shall pay Lessee's direct
     costs for such storage, maintenance and insurance without mark-up; and

         (vii)  Any Serviced Engines returned by Lessee on any Return Aircraft
     are deemed to be Engines for the purpose of compliance with Return
     Conditions.

     So long as Lessor is maintaining the Aircraft pursuant to Exhibit E
attached hereto, the Return Conditions set forth in Exhibit D (other than
Sections 2F(a) and (b), k, 2M(2), (4) and (5) and 2P thereof and the obligation
to return all documents required for return set forth in Exhibit D and the
obligation to return the Aircraft clean) shall be deemed to be satisfied with
respect to the Aircraft.

     (b) Return of Other Engines.  In the event that any engine that is not a
         -----------------------                                             
Serviced Engine shall be installed on the Airframe returned, such engine shall
be an engine suitable to be a  Replacement Engine hereunder.  Upon return of the
Aircraft, Lessee shall duly convey to Lessor good title to any such engine, free
and clear of all Liens and, upon such conveyance, Lessee will furnish Lessor
with a full warranty bill of sale, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to it, with respect to such engine and take such other action as may be
reasonably requested in order that title to such engine may be duly and properly
vested in Lessor to the same extent as the Engine replaced thereby.  Upon
conveyance of good title to such engine to Lessor, and upon full compliance by
Lessee with its obligations hereunder, at Lessee's expenses, Lessor will
transfer to Lessee all rights, title and interest originally conveyed to Lessor
in an Engine constituting part of the Aircraft but not installed on the Airframe
at the time of the return of the Airframe "as-is, where-is", free and clear of
any Head Lease Lessor's Liens and Lessor's Liens but otherwise without recourse
or warranty, express or implied to Lessee.

     Section 6.  Liens.  Lessee shall not directly or indirectly create, incur,
                 -----                                                         
assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Airframe or any
Engine or any Serviced Engine or any Parts, title thereto or any interest
therein or in this Lease except (i) the respective rights of Lessor and Lessee
as herein provided, of Head Lease Lessor and Lessor as provided in the Head
Lease and of Mortgagee as provided in the Indenture, (ii) the rights of others
under agreements or arrangements to the extent expressly permitted by the terms
of Sections 7(e) and 7(h), (iii) Head Lease Lessor's Liens or Lessor's Liens,
(iv) Liens for Taxes either not yet due or being contested in good faith (and
the payment 

                                      -21-
<PAGE>
 
of which has been bonded to the satisfaction of Lessor) by appropriate
proceedings so long as such proceedings do not involve any danger of the sale,
forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or any Engine or any Serviced Engine or
interest therein, (v) materialmen's, mechanics', workmen's, repairmen's,
employees' or other like liens arising in the ordinary course of business for
amounts the payment of which is either not yet delinquent or is being contested
in good faith (and the payment of which has been bonded to the satisfaction of
Lessor) by appropriate proceedings so long as such proceedings do not involve
any danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or any Engine or any
Serviced Engine or interest therein, (vi) liens arising out of judgments or
awards against Lessee with respect to which at the time an appeal or proceeding
for review is being prosecuted in good faith and with respect to which there
shall have been secured a stay of execution pending such appeal or proceeding
for review, (vii) the Pooling Agreement, (viii) the Head Lease and (ix) the
Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Lessee shall not, in any
event, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to
the Airframe, title thereto or any interest therein in violation of the terms of
the Head Lease or the Indenture. Lessee shall promptly, at its own expense, take
such action as may be necessary duly to discharge (by bonding or otherwise) any
such Lien not excepted above if the same shall arise at any time.

     Section 7.  Registration, Maintenance and Operation; Possession; Insignia.
                 ------------------------------------------------------------- 

     (a) Registration, Maintenance and Operation.  Lessee, at its own cost and
         ---------------------------------------                              
expense, shall:

         (i) maintain, service, repair, overhaul and test or cause to be
     maintained, serviced, repaired, overhauled and tested each Item of
     Equipment in accordance with Lessee's FAA approved maintenance program, so
     as to keep each Item of Equipment (A) in at least as good an operating
     condition as when delivered, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and within
     the acceptable limits of performance provided in the Manufacturer's
     manuals, (B) in conformity with any Manufacturer's operating manual,
     instructions and service bulletins and all mandatory service bulletins and
     such other non-mandatory Manufacturer's service bulletins reasonably
     requested by Lessor and by the Manufacturer, (C) in conformity with all
     AD's that are required to be performed with respect to any Item of
     Equipment during the Lease Term, (D) in conformity with the requirements of
     any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Item of
     Equipment, (E) in such condition that the Airframe and each Serviced Engine
     will comply with the FAA type certificate (as in effect from time to time)
     issued to the Manufacturer of the Airframe or such Serviced Engine and in
     compliance with  a maintenance program approved by the FAA so long as such
     maintenance program conforms to the maintenance program (as in effect from
     time to time) established by the applicable FAA-approved maintenance review
     board report for airframes and engines of the same type, and (F) in such
     condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of
     the In-Use Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times (and, in
     the case of any Engine when it is not installed on the Airframe, so as to
     keep such Engine serviceable at all times except when such Engine is
     awaiting overhaul, maintenance, repair, inspection or servicing  in the
     normal course of Lessee's FAA-approved or compatible maintenance program)
     under the rules and regulations of the FAA.  All maintenance on the
     Airframe and Serviced Engines shall be performed by Lessee in  accordance
     with the standards set forth above.  Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of
     any material change in the maintenance program in respect of the In-Use
     Aircraft from that in effect on the Delivery Date;

         (ii) not permit the Airframe, any Serviced Engine, or any Part to be
     maintained, serviced, repaired, overhauled, tested, used or operated in
     violation of any Applicable Law  of any Governmental Authority having
     jurisdiction or in violation of any airworthiness

<PAGE>
 
     certificate, license or registration relating to the Airframe, any Serviced
     Engine or any Part issued by any such Governmental Authority. In the event
     that any such Applicable Law requires alteration of the Airframe, any
     Serviced Engine, or any Part, Lessee will conform thereto or obtain
     conformance therewith at no expense to Lessor and will maintain the
     Airframe, such Serviced Engine or such Part in proper operating condition
     under such Applicable Laws;

         (iii)  maintain or cause to be maintained all records, logs and other
     materials required by the FAA or other applicable Governmental Authority to

         (iv) promptly furnish to Lessor such information as may be required to
     enable Lessor to file any reports required to be filed by Lessor with any
     Governmental Authority because of Lessor's ownership of the Aircraft.

     (b) Additional Maintenance Provisions.  Lessee covenants and agrees that it
         ---------------------------------                                      
shall use, operate, maintain, service, repair, overhaul and test or cause to be
used, operated, maintained, serviced, repaired, overhauled and tested, the
Airframe, each Serviced Engine and any Part in at least as good manner and with
at least as much care as used by Lessee with respect to other airframes, engines
and parts of the same type or utility owned, leased or operated by Lessee and
that it will not discriminate against the Airframe, any Serviced Engine or any
Part (as compared to other airframes, engines or parts of the same type or

service, repair, overhaul or testing of the Airframe, each Serviced Engine or
any Part.

     (c) Territorial Restrictions on Use of Aircraft.  Lessee agrees not to
         -------------------------------------------                       
operate or locate any Item of Equipment, or suffer such Item to be operated, (A)
unless such Item is covered by insurance as required by the provisions of
Section 9, (B) contrary to the terms of the insurance required by the provisions
of Section 9 of this Lease or section 11 of the Head Lease, (C) in any war zone
or recognized or threatened area of hostilities unless covered to Lessor's
satisfaction by war risk insurance, (D) to or from any airport which is at such
time the subject of a prohibition order of any Governmental Authority of the
United States or of any international authority or treaty organization of which
the United States is a member, (E) to or from any airport that the aircraft

or from or (F) contrary to the terms of the Head Lease..

     (d) Obligations Absolute.  Nothing herein, including Exhibit E hereto,
         --------------------                                              
shall be deemed to affect Lessee's obligations pursuant to this Section 7 or to
impose on Lessor the obligation to pay for or be responsible for the payment of
any maintenance, repair or overhaul.  It is understood and agreed that Lessee
shall be responsible for all of its obligations under this Section 7 hereof,
regardless of the performance or non-performance by Lessor of its obligations
described in Exhibit E hereto; provided that nothing contained in this Lease
                               --------

     (g) Replacement of Parts.  Subject to the provisions of Exhibit E hereof,
         --------------------                                                 
Lessee at its own cost and expense, shall promptly replace (or cause to be
replaced) all Parts which may from time to time be incorporated or installed in
or attached to the Airframe or any Serviced Engine and which may from time to
time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged
beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever,
except as otherwise provided in Section 8.  In addition, Lessee may, at its own
cost and expense, remove or cause to be removed in the ordinary course of
maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Parts, whether or not
worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damages beyond repair or
permanently rendered unfit for use; provided that Lessee, except as otherwise
                                    --------                                 
provided in Section 8, will, at its own cost and expense, replace such Parts as
promptly as possible.  All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all
Liens (except for Permitted Liens), and shall be in as good operating condition
as, and shall have a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced,
assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be
maintained by the terms hereof.  All Parts at any time removed from the Airframe
or any Serviced Engine shall remain the property of Lessor (or Head Lease
Lessor, as the case may be), no matter where located.  Immediately upon any
replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the
Airframe or any Serviced Engine as above provided, without further act, (i)
title to the replacement Part shall thereupon vest in Lessor free and clear of
all Liens (except for Permitted Liens); and (iii) such replacement Part shall
become subject to this Lease and be deemed part of the Airframe or such Serviced
Engine for all purposes to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated
or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Serviced Engine.  Any Parts
replaced or supplied by Lessor pursuant to Exhibit E attached hereto shall be
deemed to satisfy the conditions of this Section.

     (h) Alterations, Modifications and Additions.  Subject to the provisions of
         ----------------------------------------                               
Section 7(a) hereof, and, in addition, so long as Lessor is maintaining the
Aircraft pursuant to Exhibit E attached hereto, in compliance with Exhibit E
attached hereto, Lessee, at its own expense, will make (or cause 

                                      -24-
<PAGE>
 
to be made) such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe
and the Serviced Engines as may be required from time to time to meet the
standards of the FAA or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction. In
addition and subject to the terms of Exhibit E hereto, Lessee, at its own
expense, may from time to time make (or cause to be made) such alterations and
modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Serviced Engine as Lessee
may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including, without
limitation, removal of Parts which Lessee deems obsolete or no longer suitable
or appropriate for use in the Airframe or any Serviced Engine, provided that (i)
                                                               -------- 
no such alteration, modification, addition or removal shall diminish the fair
market value, utility or remaining useful life of the Airframe or such Serviced
Engine, or impair the condition or airworthiness thereof below the value,
utility, condition and airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such
alteration, modification, addition or removal assuming the Airframe or such
Serviced Engine was then of the value and utility and in the condition and
airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease; and (ii) no
structural modification shall be made without the prior written consent of
Lessor. Title to all Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to
the Airframe or any Serviced Engine as the result of such alteration,
modification or addition shall, without further act, vest in Lessor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence of this Section 7(h), so long as no
Default or Lessee Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee
may, at any time during the Term, remove any Part, provided that (i) such Part
                                                   --------                   
is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, (x) any Part
originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any
Serviced Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder, or (y) any Part in
replacement of or substitution for any such Part, (ii) such Part is not required
to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any
Serviced Engine pursuant to the terms of this Section 7(h), and (iii) such Part
can be removed from the Airframe or such Serviced Engine without causing
material damage to the Airframe or such Serviced Engine and without diminishing
or impairing the value, utility, condition or airworthiness required to be
maintained by the terms of this Lease which the Airframe or such Serviced Engine
would have had at such time had such alteration, modification or addition not
occurred. Upon the removal by Lessee of any Part as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, title thereto shall, without further act, vest in Lessee and
such Part shall no longer be deemed part of the Airframe or such Serviced Engine
from which it was removed. Any Part not removed by Lessee as provided in such
sentence prior to the return of the Airframe or such Serviced Engine to Lessor
hereunder shall remain the property of Lessor.

     United States, pursuant to the laws of such country), Lessee shall cause to
     be delivered to Lessor an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to
     Lessor as to the due recordation of such Lease Supplement pursuant to the
     Act (or such other laws).

          (6) Conveyance; Replacement Engine.  Upon compliance by Lessee with
              ------------------------------                                 
     the terms of this Section 8(b), Lessor will (subject to the rights of any
     insurer) transfer (other than in the case of the replacement of an Engine
     which was not upon the occurrence of the Event of Loss, a Serviced Engine)
     to Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and interest as of the delivery date
     of such replacement Serviced Engine in the replaced Serviced Engine, "as-
     is, where-is", free and clear of Lessor's Liens but otherwise without
     recourse or warranty, express, implied or otherwise.

          (7) No Reduction of Basic Rent.  No Event of Loss with respect to a
              --------------------------                                     
     Serviced Engine or an Engine under the circumstance contemplated by this
     Section 8(b) shall result in any reduction of Basic Rent.  Upon the payment
     by Lessee to Lessor of the Stipulated Loss Value of any Serviced Engine,
     Lessor, shall provide Lessee with a replacement Serviced Engine.

          (8) If Lessor furnishes the replacement Serviced Engine, then the
     conditions set forth in Sections 8(b)(2)(ii)(a) and (d) shall be deemed to
     be fulfilled.

     (c) Application of Payments for Requisition of Title.  Any payments (other
         ------------------------------------------------                      
than insurance proceeds the application of which is provided for in Section 9)
received at any time by Lessor, Lessee or from any Governmental Authority or
other Person with respect to any Event of Loss, other than  a requisition for
use by the Government not constituting an Event of Loss, will be applied as
follows:

          (1) Replacement of Serviced Engine.  If such payments are received as
              ------------------------------                                   
     a result of an Event of Loss to a Serviced Engine under circumstances
     contemplated by Section 8(b), and the Serviced Engine is replaced, so much
     of such payments 

                                      -29-
<PAGE>
 
     remaining after reimbursement of Lessor for reasonable costs and expenses,
     if any, theretofore incurred by Lessor related to such replacement shall be
     paid over to, or retained by, Lessee, provided that Lessee shall have fully
     performed, or concurrently therewith will perform, the terms of Section
     8(b) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.

          (2) Loss of Airframe.  If such payments are received as a result of an
              ----------------
     Event of Loss to the Airframe or the Airframe or Serviced Engines then
     installed thereon, so much of such payments as shall not exceed the amounts
     payable pursuant to 8(a)(1) shall be applied to pay such amounts (or
     reimburse Lessee for its payment  of such amounts), and the balance, if
     any, of such payment remaining thereafter shall, first, to the extent of
     the value of Lessee's interest in such payment, be paid over to Lessee,
     and, second, the remainder, if any, shall be retained by Lessor.  For
     purposes of this clause (2), the value of Lessee's interest in a payment
     shall be the amount of  the Basic Rent due in regard to the leasing of the
     Aircraft for the remainder of the applicable Term.

     (d) Requisition of Use of the Airframe.  In the event of the requisition
         ----------------------------------                                  
for use of the Airframe or any Serviced Engines installed on the Airframe during
the Term not constituting an Event of Loss including without limitation,
pursuant to CRAF, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of such requisition and
all of Lessee's obligations under this Lease shall continue to the same extent
as if such requisition had not occurred, except to the extent that any failure
or delay in Lessee's performance  or observance of such obligations (other than
obligations for the payment of Rent) is caused by such requisition.  Unless
Lessor elects to treat such requisition as an Event of Loss, Lessee shall be
obligated to return the Airframe and such Serviced Engines to Lessor pursuant
to, and in all other respects in compliance with the provisions of, Section 5
promptly at the later of the end of the Term or, if Lessor consents, the date of
such return by any such Governmental Authority.  All payments received by Lessor
or Lessee from any Governmental Authority for the use of the Airframe and
Serviced Engines during the Term (so long as no Lessee Event of Default shall
have occurred and  be continuing) shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee;
and all payments received by Lessor or Lessee from the Government for the use of
the Airframe and such Serviced Engines after the Term (or so long as a default
or a Lessee Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) shall be
paid over to, or retained by, Lessor, unless such requisition for use by any
Governmental Authority  is treated as an Event of Loss in which case all such
payments shall be applied in accordance with Section 8(c)(2).

     (e) Investment of Proceeds Pending Replacement.  If an Event of Loss shall
         ------------------------------------------                            
occur with respect to a Serviced Engine and the provisions of Section 8(b)
apply, or  Lessor receives any insurance proceeds pending completion of repairs
by Lessee to the Airframe or a Serviced Engine, Lessor shall, if requested by
Lessee and if no Lessee Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
use its reasonable efforts to invest, at the request, direction and risk of
Lessee, any payments received theretofore or thereafter with respect to the
Airframe or such Serviced Engine from any insurer under insurance required to be
maintained hereunder or from Lessee or from any Governmental Authority or other
person with respect to the applicable Event of Loss or otherwise. Any such
investments shall be in obligations of the United States or obligations
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the Government or certificates of
deposit issued in the United States by a 

                                      -30-
<PAGE>
 
commercial bank or banks each having a combined capital, surplus, and undivided
profits of at least $250,000,000, in each case having a stated maturity not
later than one year from the date of the acquisition thereof by Lessor. Lessee
will pay to Lessor on demand the amount of any loss incurred in connection with
any such investment. All profits and losses on such investments and any taxes in
respect thereof shall be for the account of Lessee. In order to make the
payments to Lessee provided for in Section 8 or 9 hereof, Lessor is authorized
to sell any obligations purchased as aforesaid; and Lessor shall not be required
to make such payments to Lessee until Lessor shall have had a reasonable time to
sell such obligations and to obtain the sale proceeds therefrom.

     (f) Application of Payments During Default.  Any amount for requisition of
         --------------------------------------                                
title or requisition of use of any Item of Equipment referred to in this Section
8 which is payable to or retainable by Lessee shall not be paid to or retained
by Lessee if at the time of such payment or retention a Default or a Lessee
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be held by or
paid to Lessor and applied against the obligations of Lessee under this Lease,
and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Default or Lessee
Event of Default, such amount shall be paid to Lessee to the extent not
previously applied in accordance with this sentence.

     Section 9.  Insurance.
                 --------- 

     (a) Liability Insurance.  During the Lease Term and during the next three
         -------------------                                                  
years thereafter, Lessee shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) at no
expense to Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor or Lessor the following
insurance, on a worldwide basis with no territorial restrictions, except as may
be specifically consented to from time to time by Mortgagee, Lessor and Head
Lease Lessor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, with insurers of
recognized responsibility approved by Lessor through nationally recognized
aviation insurance brokers: comprehensive aviation liability insurance
(including third party legal liability, public liability, passenger legal
liability, personal injury liability, passenger's baggage and personal effects
(checked and unchecked) liability, cargo legal liability, mail legal liability,
premises liability, products/completed operations, hangarkeepers (ground and in-
flight) liability and war risks liability (Lloyd's of London Clause AV.52 or its
equivalent), insurance of the indemnification obligations set forth in Section
15 hereof, and property damage liability insurance with respect to the In-Use
Aircraft in an amount not less than that carried by Lessee on similar equipment
owned or leased by Lessee, provided that such liability insurance shall in no
                           --------                                          
event be less than $1,000,000,000 for any one accident, or series of accidents
arising out of any one event.  Lessee shall not self-insure with respect to any
public liability coverage with the exception of baggage, cargo and mail
liabilities.  Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section
9(a) and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any of such
policies shall: (1) name Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor (as owner of the
Airframe and in its individual capacity) and Lessor and their respective
Affiliates and directors, officers, employees, servants and agents as an
additional insured (each such Person an "Additional Insured"), as their
                                         ------------------            
respective interests may appear; (2) provide that in respect of the interest of
each Additional Insured in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated
by any action or inaction of Lessee or any other insured, and shall insure each
Additional Insured regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty,
declaration or condition contained in such policies by Lessee; (3) provide that
if the insurers cancel such insurance for any reason whatever, or if such
insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, or if there is any
substantial change in policy terms and conditions or coverage, such
cancellation, lapse or change shall not be effective as to any Additional
Insured until 

                                      -31-
<PAGE>
 
thirty days (seven days, or such other period as may from time to time be
customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of war risk and allied
perils coverage) after receipt by such Additional Insured of written notice from
such insurers of such cancellation, lapse or change; and (4) provide that no
Additional Insured shall have any obligation or liability for premiums,
commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance. Each
liability policy shall (i) be primary without right of contribution from any
other insurance which is carried by any Additional Insured, (ii) expressly
provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability,
shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering any
Additional Insured, and (iii) waive any right of the insurers to any
subrogation, set-off or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by
attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of any Additional Insured
or Lessee to the extent of any moneys due to such Additional Insureds. In the
case of the requisition for use of the In-Use Aircraft or any Serviced Engine by
the Government, a valid agreement by the Government to indemnify Lessee in a
manner satisfactory to Mortgagee, Lessor and Head Lease Lessor against any of
the risks which Lessee is required hereunder to insure against in an amount at
least equal to the amount of insurance required to be maintained for the
Aircraft under this Section 9 from time to time shall, to the extent such
indemnity from the Government complies with the requirements set forth in
Section 7(g) hereof, be considered adequate insurance to the extent of the risks
and in the amounts that are the subject of any such agreement to indemnify.

     (b) All Risk Hull Insurance.  During the relevant Terms, Lessee shall
         -----------------------                                          
maintain (or cause to be maintained) at no expense to Mortgagee, Seller, Head
Lease Lessor or Lessor the following insurance, on a worldwide basis with no
territorial restrictions with insurers of recognized responsibility (A) all-
risks (ground, taxing, flight and ingestion) hull insurance covering the In-Use
Aircraft; and (B) all risks (including transit) Aviation Spare Parts (including
Engine and Equipment) Insurance and (C) at all times that any In-Use Aircraft or
any Serviced Engine is not covered by the insurance described in Section 9(c),
coverage against the perils of (i) strikes, riots, civil commotions or labor
disturbances, (ii) any vandalism, malicious act or act of sabotage, and (iii)
hijacking, or any unlawful seizure or wrongful exercise of control of the In-Use
Aircraft or crew in flight made by any person or persons on board the In-Use
Aircraft without the consent of the insured other than hijacking committed by
persons engaged in a program of irregular warfare for terrorist purposes, in
each case to the extent insured by the standard "buy-back" provisions to the
Airline War Exclusion Clause (AV48B) or its equivalent.  Such insurance shall be
for an Agreed Value basis which shall be in an amount not less than the
Stipulated Loss Value.  Lessee may self-insure only with the prior written
consent of Head Lease Lessor, Mortgagee and Lessor, and in the event such
consent is granted, only by way of standard market deductibles, the risks
required to be insured against pursuant to the preceding two sentences in such
amounts as are acceptable to Mortgagee, Lessor and Head Lease Lessor in their
sole discretion.  Any policies carried in accordance with this Section 9(b)
covering the In-Use Aircraft and any policies taken out in substitution or
replacement for any such policies shall (1) name Head Lease Lessor, as owner of
the Airframe, Mortgagee, Seller and Lessor as additional insureds as their
interests may appear, and Head Lessor and Lessor as loss payees, as their
interests may appear; (2) provide that the amount of any loss up to $2,000,000
shall be paid to Lessor or its order so long as the insurer has not been
notified that an Event of Default under the Head Lease exists and provide that
the amount of any loss in excess of $2,000,000 (or all proceeds if the insurer
has been notified that an Event of Default under the Head Lease exists) shall be
payable to the Mortgagee; (3) provide that if such insurance is canceled for any
reason whatsoever, or any 

                                      -32-
<PAGE>
 
substantial change is made in policy terms, conditions or coverage, or the same
is allowed to lapse for non-payment of premium, such cancellation, change or
lapse shall not be effective as to Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor or
Lessor until thirty days (seven days or such other period as may from time to
time be customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of war risk and
allied perils coverage), after receipt by Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor
or Lessor, respectively, of written notice from such insurers of such
cancellation or lapse or change in policy terms, conditions or coverage; (4)
provide that losses shall be adjusted with Lessor; (5) provide that in respect
of Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor and Lessor, such insurance shall not be
invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessee or any other insured and shall
insure such parties regardless of any breach contained in such policies by
Lessee or any other insured; (6) be primary without right of contribution from
any other insurance which is carried by Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor or
Lessor with respect to its interest in the In-Use Aircraft; (7) waive any right
of subrogation of the insurers against Head Lease Lessor, Mortgagee, Seller or
Lessor; (8) waive any right of the insurers to set-off or counterclaim or any
other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability
of Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor, Lessor or Lessee to the extent of any
moneys due to Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor or Lessor, as the case may
be; and (9) provide that Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor and Lessor shall
have no obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls
in connection with such insurance. If the insurance required to be carried
pursuant to Sections 9(b) and 9(c) is effected under separate policies, the
insurers shall agree that if a disagreement arises as to whether a claim is
covered by the all-risk insurance or the war-risk insurance, the insurers will
settle such claims on the basis of a 50-50 claim funding arrangement. In the
case of the requisition for use of the In-Use Aircraft or any Serviced Engine by
the Government, a valid agreement by the Government, satisfactory to Head Lease
Lessor and Lessor, to indemnify Lessee against any of the risks which Lessee is
required hereunder to insure against in an amount at least equal to the amount
of insurance required to be maintained for the In-Use Aircraft under this
Section 9 from time to time shall, to the extent such indemnity from the
Government complies with the requirements set forth in Section 7(g) hereof, be
considered adequate insurance to the extent of the risks and in the amounts that
are the subject of any such agreement to indemnify.

     (c) War-Risk Insurance.  During the Lease Term, Lessee shall maintain (or
         ------------------                                                   
cause to be maintained), at no expense to Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor
or Lessor War-Risk and Allied Perils Aviation Hull (including Spare Parts,
Engines and Equipment) Insurance on an Agreed Value basis, which shall be not
less than the Stipulated Loss Value.  Such policy shall (i) insure against those
perils excluded under Lessee's All Risks Hull and Spares policy(ies) by virtue

Exclusion Clause") or its equivalent (other than paragraph (b) thereof relating

(subject only to such geographical limits as may be imposed by the hull, war and
allied perils insurance) and (vi) be endorsed to include provisions identical to
those contained in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), and (9) of
Section 9(b).

     (d) Application of Proceeds.  Provided no Lessee Event of Default shall
         -----------------------                                            
have occurred and be continuing, all insurance payments received under policies
required to be maintained by Lessee 

                                      -33-
<PAGE>
 
pursuant to Section 9 as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss shall
be applied in accordance with Section 8(c)(1) or Section 8(c)(2). Insurance
payments relating to any property damage or loss to the In-Use Aircraft or any
Serviced Engine not constituting an Event of Loss with respect thereto will be
applied in payment for repairs or for replacement property in accordance with
the terms of Section 8(c) hereof, if not already paid for by Lessee, and any
balance remaining after compliance with such Sections with respect to such loss
shall be paid to Lessee. Any amount representing proceeds of insurance required
to be maintained by Lessee hereunder which is payable to or retainable by Lessee
shall not be paid to or retained by Lessee if at the time of such payment a
Default or a Lessee Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but
shall be held by or paid to Lessor as security for the obligations of Lessee
under this Lease and such amount (to the extent not previously applied against
such obligations) shall be paid to Lessee at such time as there no longer exists
any Default or Lessee Event of Default.

     (e) Reports, Etc.  On or before the Delivery Date (except, with respect to
         -------------                                                         
the insurance required by Section 9(j), prior to the date hereof), and no less
than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of any insurance required
pursuant to this Section 9, Lessee shall furnish to Mortgagee, Seller, Lessor
and Head Lease Lessor (i) appropriate certification by each insurer or its
authorized signatories and (ii) a report signed by a firm of independent
insurance brokers, then retained by Lessee, attaching certificates evidencing
the insurance and reinsurance then carried and maintained with respect to the
In-Use Aircraft and Allocated Parts and stating that in the opinion of such firm
the insurance then carried and maintained with respect to the In-Use Aircraft
and Serviced Engines or Parts complies with the terms hereof.  Lessee will cause
such firm to advise Mortgagee, Seller, Lessor and Head Lease Lessor in writing
promptly of any material default in the payment of any premium and of any other
act or omission on the part of Lessee of which they have knowledge which might
invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the
In-Use Aircraft or any Serviced Engine or Parts.  Lessee also shall cause such
firm to advise Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor and Lessor in writing at
least thirty (30) days (seven (7) days, or such other period as may from time to
time be customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of war risk and
allied perils coverage), prior to the expiration or termination of any insurance
policy carried or maintained with respect to the  In-Use Aircraft or any
Serviced Engine any Parts pursuant to this Section 9.  In the event that Lessee
shall fail to maintain insurance as herein provided. Lessor or Head Lessor may
at its option provide such insurance and, in such event, Lessee shall upon
demand, reimburse Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, for the cost thereof, together
with interest, on the amount of the cost of Lessor or Head Lessor of insurance
for the Aircraft as to which Lessee shall have failed to maintain insurance, at
the rate specified in Section 3(c) of the Head Lease.

     (f) Additional Insurance.  Lessee at its option and at its sole cost and
         --------------------                                                
expense may obtain insurance with respect to its interest in the In-Use
Aircraft, provided that such insurance does not prevent Lessee from obtaining
          --------                                                           
the insurance required by this Section 9; and provided, further, that such
                                              --------  -------           
additional insurance does not prevent Mortgagee, Seller, any Participant, Head
Lease Lessor or Lessor, as the case may be, from obtaining insurance for its own
account with respect to the In-Use Aircraft in excess of Stipulated Loss Value.
No such insurance shall be subject to this Section 9.  Mortgagee, any
Participant, Head Lease Lessor and Lessor may each carry for its own account at
its sole cost and expense insurance with respect to its interest in the In-Use
Aircraft but in no event shall such insurance prevent Lessee from carrying
insurance required by this Section 9 or adversely affect the cost thereof.

                                      -34-
<PAGE>
 
     (g) Notice from Lessee; No Modification.  Lessee shall forthwith notify
         -----------------------------------                                
Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor and  Lessor of any event which may give
rise to a claim under the insurance required pursuant to this Section 9.

     (h) Reinsurance.  In the event of any reinsurance of the risks set forth in
         -----------                                                            
Section 9(b) the following clause shall be incorporated into such reinsurance
policies:

     "Reinsurers hereby agree that notwithstanding the insolvency, liquidation,
     bankruptcy, dissolution of or similar proceedings affecting Insurers in
     respect of a total loss or other claim whereas provided by the Lease such
     claim will be paid to the person or persons named as loss payee under the
     primary insurance and that Reinsurers shall in lieu of payment to the
     Insured, its successors in interest and assigns, pay to the person named as
     loss payee under the primary insurance that portion of any loss due for
     which the reinsurers would otherwise be liable to pay the Insurers (subject
     to proof  of loss), it being understood and agreed that any such payment by
     the Reinsurers shall (to the extent of such payment) fully discharge and
     release the Reinsurers from any and all further liability in connection
     therewith, subject to such clause not contravening any law of the
     government of registration."

     (i) Insurance of Lessor.  Lessor agrees to maintain throughout the Lease
         -------------------

and conditions of the policy, covers the Serviced Aircraft during periods in
which the Serviced Aircraft is within custody and control of Lessor for an
amount not less than the Stipulated Loss Value.

     (j) Insurance Relating to Allocated Parts. During the Term, Lessee shall
         -------------------------------------                               
maintain (or cause to be maintained) at no expense to Lessor the following
insurance with respect to the Allocated Parts with insurers of recognized
responsibility satisfactory to Lessor:  (A) All Risks Property Insurance and (B)
coverage against the perils of (i) strikes, riots, civil commotions or labor
disturbances or (ii) vandalism, malicious acts or acts of sabotage.  Such
insurance shall be for an aggregate amount of no less than $1,600,000.  With the
written consent of Lessor, Lessee may self-insure, only by way of deductibles,
the risks required to be insured against pursuant to the preceding two sentences
in such amounts as are acceptable to Lessor in its sole discretion.  Any
policies carried in accordance with this Section 9(j) covering the Allocated
Parts and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such
policies shall (1) name Lessor as sole loss payee; (2) provide that the entire
amount of any loss shall be paid to Lessor or its order; (3) provide that if
such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, or any substantial adverse
change is made in policy terms, conditions or coverage, or the same is allowed
to lapse for non-payment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall
not be effective as to Lessor until thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of
written notice from such insurers of such cancellation or lapse or change in
policy terms, conditions or coverage; (4) provide that losses shall be adjusted
with Lessor; (5) provide that in respect of Lessor, such insurance shall not be
invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessee or any other insured and shall

Lessee or any other insured; (6) waive any right of subrogation of the insurers
against Lessor; (7) waive any right of the insurers to set-off or counterclaim
or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any
liability of Lessor or Lessee to the extent of any moneys due to Lessor; and (8)
provide that Lessor shall not have any obligation or liability for premiums,

     (k) Compliance with Head Lease.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
         --------------------------                                           
contained in this Section 9, Lessee agrees that it will additionally comply with
and abide by all of the covenants and other obligations of Lessor, as lessee in
Section 11 of the Head Lease; provided, in no event will Lessee maintain
insurance in amounts or coverages less than the amounts and coverages required
by Section 11 of the Head Lease or such lesser amounts as may be consented to by
Head Lease Lessor.

     Section 10.  Inspection; Financial Information; Letter of Credit.
                  --------------------------------------------------- 

     (a) Inspection.  During the Lease Term, Lessee shall furnish to Mortgagee,
         ----------                                                            
Head Lease Lessor and Lessor such information concerning the location,
condition, use and operation of the In-Use Aircraft as such party may reasonably
request.  Lessee shall permit any person designated in writing by Mortgagee,
Head Lease Lessor or Lessor, at such designating party's expense, to visit and
inspect (at any reasonable time, provided that such inspection shall not
unreasonably interfere in any material respect with Lessee's business operations
or operation or maintenance of the In-Use Aircraft) the In-Use Aircraft and the
records maintained in connection therewith and, at such designating party's
expense, to make copies of such records as such party may reasonably designate.
Mortgagee, Head Lease Lessor and Lessor shall not have any duty to make any such
inspection and shall not incur any liability or obligation by reason of making
or not making any such inspection.  Any such inspection of the In-Use Aircraft
shall be a visual, walk-around inspection which may include going on board the
In-Use Aircraft and shall not include opening any panels, bays, or the like,
provided, that any such designee of Head Lease Lessor and/or Lessor, as the case
- --------                                                                        
may be,  shall be entitled to be present during any maintenance check of the In-
Use Aircraft at which any panels, bays or the like may be opened and shall have
the right to inspect such items during such maintenance check.  Upon written
request from Mortgagee, Head Lease Lessor or Lessor, as the case may be,  Lessee
shall provide such requesting party with the anticipated dates of any scheduled
major maintenance checks (including any "C", heavy "C"  or "D" check) occurring
within the six-month period following such request.

     (b) Financial Information.  Lessee also agrees to furnish to Lessor during
         ---------------------                                                 
the Lease Term:

          (1) as soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) days after
     the occurrence of a Default or Lessee Event of Default, a certificate of
     Lessee, signed by a vice president of Lessee, setting forth in detail the
     nature of such Default or Lessee Event of Default and the action which the
     Lessee proposes to take with respect thereto;

          (2) from time to time, such information as Lessor may reasonably
     request with respect to the operations of Lessee in order to determine
     whether the covenants, terms and provisions of this Lease have been
     complied with by Lessee;

          (3) such information as may be required to enable Lessor to file any
     reports required to be filed with any Governmental Authority because of
     Lessor's ownership of the Items of Equipment;

                                      -36-

          (4) as soon as available, quarterly and year-end unaudited Reports of
     Financial and Operating Statistics for Large Certified Air Carriers (U.S.
     Department  of Transportation Form 41 Schedule A); and

          (5) as soon as available, and in any event within sixty (60) days
     after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters, an unaudited
     balance sheet of the Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries, as of the
     end of such quarter and related unaudited statements of income and retained
     earnings of the Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries, setting forth in
     each case in comparative form the corresponding figures for the
     corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year;

          (6) as soon as available, and in any event within 120 days after the
     end of each fiscal year of Lessee, a financial report for the Lessee for
     such year, including therein a balance sheet of Lessee as of the end of
     such fiscal year and related statements of income and retained earnings and
     changes in financial position of the Lessee for such fiscal year, setting
     forth in each case in comparative form corresponding figures for the
     preceding fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and as certified by the
     Lessee's public accountants, including their certificate and accompanying
     comments; and

          (7) promptly upon their becoming available, one copy of each financial
     statement, report, notice or proxy statement sent by Lessee to stockholders
     generally and of each regular or periodic report, registration statement or
     prospectus filed by Lessee with any securities exchange or the Securities
     and Exchange Commission or any successor agency, and of any order issued by
     any Governmental Authority in any proceeding in which Lessee  is a party;
     and

          (8) from time to time, such statistical information concerning the In-
     Use Aircraft as Lessor may reasonably request to enable Lessor to evaluate,
     calculate and/or report any Taxes.

     (c)  Letter of Credit.
          ---------------- 

          (1) Lessee shall take whatever action may be necessary to maintain the
     Letter of  Credit (whether in the form of a letter of credit or a deposit)
     in full force and effect, which shall secure Lessee's obligations hereunder
     and under the Long-Term Agreements and the Ancillary Agreements.

          (2) In the event any issuer of any letter of credit constituting all
     or a portion of  the Letter of Credit fails to renew such letter of credit
     at least thirty (30) days prior to the then effective expiry date thereof,
     then Lessor may draw, or may cause such letter of credit  to be drawn.  The
     proceeds of such draws made under the letters of credit will be deposited
     with Lessor and/or one of its Affiliates as set forth in Section 10(c)(4)
     below.

          (3) In the event Lessor withdraws or causes to be withdrawn any amount
     from the deposit constituting all or a portion of the Letter of Credit (the
     "Deposit"), Lessor shall promptly thereafter deliver a certificate (the
     "Withdrawal Certificate") to Lessee certifying 

                                      -37-
<PAGE>
 
     the date and amount of the withdrawal and that Lessor was entitled to make
     such withdrawal. Lessee shall on or before the fifth Business Day following
     receipt of such Withdrawal Certificate, provide Lessor with all or one of
     the following in the amount of such withdrawal (the "Replacement Letter of
     Credit) from the Deposit: (i) a letter of credit, complying with the
     definition of Letter of Credit set forth herein; or (ii) immediately
     available funds to be maintained as a Deposit as set forth herein.

          (4) In the event Lessee elects at any time to maintain all or any
     portion of the Letter of Credit as a Deposit or any amount drawn under any
     Letter of Credit pursuant to 10(c)(2) above is to be held as a Deposit,
     then Lessor or one of its Affiliates shall hold such money in an account in
     Lessor's or one of its Affiliates' names at a financial institution(s)
     selected by Lessor or one of its Affiliates.  Lessee hereby agrees with
     respect to any Deposit which forms a part of the Letter of Credit
     (including the Deposit previously made pursuant to the Interim Definitive
     Agreements which shall now be deemed a Deposit hereunder), that:  (i)
     Lessor and its Affiliates shall have the right of recoupment against such
     Deposit and the proceeds thereof with respect to any amount payable by
     Lessee to Lessor or its Affiliates pursuant to this Lease or the Long-Term
     Agreements and the Ancillary Agreements; and (ii) Lessor and its Affiliates
     shall have a valid security interest in such Deposit and the proceeds
     thereof to secure its obligations, indebtedness and liabilities hereunder,
     under the Long-Term Agreements and the Ancillary Agreements; (iii) the
     Deposit will be held in the name of Lessor or an Affiliate, may be
     commingled with other funds of Lessor and its Affiliates and may be
     invested or held uninvested at the sole discretion of Lessor and its
     Affiliates; and (iv) that Lessor is holding such money as a Deposit
     pursuant to the terms of this Lease Agreement and the Long-Term Agreements
     and the Ancillary Agreements.  Lessee shall execute or deliver any other
     document or instrument or take any other action necessary to effectuate the
     foregoing, and shall take any action reasonably requested by Lessor to
     perfect Lessor's security interest in the Deposit.

          (5) Lessee shall have the right at any time and from time to time to
     replace any portion of the Letter of Credit consisting of a Deposit with a
     letter of credit or a letter of credit with a Deposit, provided such
     substitute Deposit meets the requirements of Section 10(c)(4) or the
     substitute letter of credit meets the requirements of a Letter of Credit
     and the aggregate amount of all such Deposits and letters of credit is
     $2,000,000.  In the case of substitution of a Deposit for a letter of
     credit, Lessor shall simultaneously with the delivery  of the Deposit and
     execution and delivery of an agreement as required by Section 10(c)(4),
     deliver to Lessee the original letter of credit for which the substitution
     is being made.

          (6) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10(c)(4) above, in the
     event the rating (the "Rating") assigned by Standard & Poor's Corporation
     to publicly traded, long-term debt securities issued by Lessor becomes CCC+
     or lower, then upon receipt of written request from Lessee, Lessor shall
     cause the Deposit to be maintained in a segregated account at a financial
     institution acceptable to Lessee, which Deposit shall otherwise continue to
     comply with, and be subject to the provisions of this Section 10(c).
     Lessor agrees to give Lessee prompt written notice of any such downgrading
     of its Rating.

                                      -38-
<PAGE>
 
          (7) In the event Lessor draws upon any letter of credit or withdraws
     any Deposit (which constitutes all or a portion of the Letter of Credit),
     and Lessee in good faith, reasonably disputes such drawing or withdrawal,
     then Lessee must nevertheless continue to maintain the Letter of Credit in
     an amount not less than $2,000,000.  However, Lessee may cause any
     Replacement Letter of Credit which constitutes a deposit ("Replacement
     Deposit") to be maintained in a segregated account at a financial
     institution acceptable to Lessee, in the names of Lessee and Lessor, which
     Deposit must otherwise comply with Sections 10(c)(4) hereof.  Lessor may
     not make a withdrawal from such Replacement Deposit until the earlier to
     occur of the following:  (1) resolution of the dispute concerning the
     earlier drawing of the Letter of Credit or withdrawal of the Deposit, or
     (2) a Lessee Event of Default under Section 13A(i) or (j).  In  the event
     and to the extent it is finally determined pursuant hereto or is otherwise
     agreed by Lessee and Lessor, that any drawing upon any Letter of Credit or
     any withdrawal from any Deposit (a "Withdrawal") was not authorized under
     this Lease Agreement or any Long-Term Agreement, then to the extent such
     withdrawal was not authorized, the applicable portion of the replacement
     Deposit shall be returned to Lessee and the remainder shall be delivered to
     Lessor in accordance with Section 10(c)(4) above.

          (8) Upon payment and satisfaction in full of all of Lessee's
     obligations, indebtedness and liabilities under this Lease Agreement and
     the Long-Term Agreements and the Ancillary Agreements ("Final Payment"),
     Lessor shall or shall cause all Letters of Credit to be returned to Lessee.
     Upon the substitution of a Letter of Credit for a Deposit or a portion
     thereof, pursuant to Section 10(c)(5) above, or upon Final Payment, Lessee
     shall return any Deposit, or portion thereof, as applicable, to Lessee,
     together with interest on such Deposit or returned portion thereof, from
     September 12, 1994 to, but not including, the date of return of the Deposit
     or such returned portion, such interest to be calculated at the rate of
     four percent (4%) per annum (calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days)
     compounded annually beginning on September 12, 1995 and on each September
     12 thereafter.

     Section 11.  Lessee's Covenants.
                  ------------------ 

     (a) Merger. Lessee shall not consolidate with or merge into any other
         ------                                                           
corporation, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets
to any Person, unless (i) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into
which Lessee is merged or the Person who acquires by conveyance, transfer or
lease all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee (the "Successor"): (A)
remains entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code with
respect to this Lease; and (B) shall execute and deliver to Lessor an agreement
containing an assumption by such Successor of the due and punctual performance
and observance of each covenant and condition of this Lease Agreement to be
performed or observed by Lessee; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, no Default or Lessee Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing hereunder and shall not violate the terms of the Head Lease,
including, without limitation, Section 7(b) of the Head Lease; (iii) Lessee
shall have delivered to Lessor, an officer's certificate and an opinion of
independent counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance,
transfer or lease and the assumption agreement described in clause (i) above
comply with this Section 11(a) and that all conditions precedent herein provided
for relating to such transaction have been complied with (except that such
opinion need not cover the matters referred to in clause (ii) above and may
rely, as to factual matters, on an officer's certificate of Lessee) and, in the
case of such opinion, that such assumption 

                                      -39-
<PAGE>
 
agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Successor,
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation and is enforceable against
such Successor in accordance with its terms, that Lessor shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits and protections set forth in Section 1110 of the
Bankruptcy Code, and any such actions shall not constitute an event of default
under the Head Lease as stated in an opinion of independent counsel; (iv) Lessor
shall retain all the benefits of the Letter of Credit; and (v) neither Head
Lease Lessor nor Lessor shall suffer any adverse tax consequences as a result of
such consolidation, merger or transfer which is not indemnified by Lessee in
accordance with the terms hereof or against which Head Lease Lessor and Lessor
are each otherwise indemnified in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Head Lease Lessor and Lessor.

     Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or lease of
all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee as an entirety in accordance
with this Section 11(a), the Successor shall succeed to, be substituted for, and
may exercise every right and power of, and shall assume every obligation and
liability of, Lessee under this Lease Agreement with the same effect as if the
Successor had been named as Lessee herein and therein.  No such consolidation or
merger or conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the
assets of Lessee shall have the effect of releasing Lessee or any Successor
which shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this
Section 11(a) from its liability hereunder.  Nothing contained herein shall
permit any lease, sublease or other arrangement for the use, operation or
possession of the In-Use Aircraft or Engines except  in compliance with the
applicable provisions of this Lease.

     (b) Certificated Air Carrier.  Lessee will continue to be a certificated

Federal Aviation Act.

     Section 12.  FAA Recordation and Further Assurances.
                  -------------------------------------- 

     (a) FAA Recordation.  Lessee shall cause this Lease, all Lease Supplements
         ---------------                                                       
and any and all additional instruments which shall be executed pursuant to the
terms hereof so far as permitted by Applicable Laws or regulations, to be duly
kept, filed and recorded, and maintained of record, in accordance with the
applicable law of the government of registry of the Aircraft, which shall be in
the office of the FAA.  The cost of all such action shall be borne by Lessor.

     (b) Further Assurances.  Each party hereto shall, at its expense, promptly
         ------------------                                                    
and duly execute and deliver to the other party such further documents and
promptly take such further action not inconsistent with the terms hereof as the
other party may from time to time reasonably request in order more effectively
to carry out the intent and purpose of this Lease or to perfect and protect the
rights and, with respect to Lessor, remedies created or intended to be created
hereunder.

     Section 13A.  Lessee Events of Default.  The following events shall
                   ------------------------                             
constitute Lessee Events of Default (each a "Lessee Event of Default") (whether
any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or be effected by
operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental
Authority) and each such Lessee Event of Default shall be deemed to exist and
continue so long as, but only as long as, it shall not have been remedied or
waived by Lessor in writing:

effective as to Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor or Lessor for 30 days (five
days in the case of any war risk and allied perils coverage, or if shorter, such
other period as may be customary in the industry for such notice of
cancellation) after receipt of notice by Mortgagee, Seller, Head Lease Lessor or
Lessor, respectively, of such cancellation, change or lapse, no such failure to
carry and maintain insurance shall constitute a Lessee Event of Default

any other covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it
hereunder and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30)
Business Days after written notice thereof by Lessor; or

document or certificate furnished by Lessee in connection herewith or pursuant
hereto shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made; or

terminated or become or be declared ineffective or inoperative or shall in any
way whatsoever cease to give or provide to Lessor or its Affiliates the
respective Liens, security interest, rights, titles, interest, remedies, powers
or privileges intended to be created thereby for any reason whatsoever other

its obligations thereunder (if any such obligations exist) or if the Deposit, if
any, constituting the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, is encumbered,
reduced, depleted or otherwise ceases to secure Lessee's obligations hereunder,
other than one or more withdrawals from the Deposit or draws under the Letter of
Credit pursuant to this Lease Agreement or any Long-Term

Agreement so long as Lessee complies with Section 10(c)(iii) hereof, and other
than an encumbrance, reduction, depletion or cessation of security arising by,
through or under Lessor or its Affiliates unrelated to the transactions
contemplated by this Lease Agreement and the Long-Term Agreements; or

Lessee shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing; or

     (j) a petition against Lessee in a proceeding under any bankruptcy or other

     (b) Exclusions from General Tax Indemnity.  The provisions of subsection
         -------------------------------------                               
16(a) shall not apply to a Tax Indemnified Party in the case of:

          (i) Taxes that are imposed on or measured by the net income, excess
     profits, receipts (other than any excise or gross receipts tax imposed by
     the State of Hawaii), franchises, capital or conduct of business of such
     Tax Indemnified Party, other than any such taxes which are imposed in lieu
     of any sales, use or value added taxes;

          (ii) any other Taxes based on, or measured by, the net income of such
     Tax Indemnified Party (other than (x) Taxes which are, or are in the nature
     of, sales, use or rental taxes or (y) Taxes imposed by any Taxing Authority
     (other than a taxing authority for the jurisdiction in which such Tax
     Indemnified Party is doing business) as a result of a nexus between the
     jurisdiction of the Taxing Authority and any Item of Equipment or any Part
     or any part or the activities in the jurisdiction of the Taxing Authority
     of  Lessee, any sublessee or any other user of the Aircraft (other than
     such Tax Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof) or any Affiliate of
     any of the foregoing);

          (iii)  Taxes that are imposed as a result of (y) any voluntary sale,
     assignment, transfer or other disposition by such Tax Indemnified Party of
     any interest of such Tax Indemnified Party in the Aircraft, the Airframe,
     any Serviced Engine, any Part, or any interest therein, unless such sale,
     assignment, transfer or disposition results from (1) action taken by  or on
     behalf of such Tax Indemnified Party as provided in or permitted by this
     Lease in connection with or by reason of any Lessee Event of Default that
     has occurred and is continuing or any exercise by the Lessor of any of its
     remedies in connection with any such Lessee Event of Default as provided in
     or permitted by the Lease, or (2) any replacement or substitution by the
     Lessee of any Engine or any Part; or (z) any involuntary transfer of any of
     the foregoing interests in connection with any bankruptcy or other
     proceeding for the relief of debtors in which such Tax Indemnified Party is
     the debtor or any foreclosure by a creditor of such Tax Indemnified Party;

          (iv) Taxes in the nature of penalties, additions to tax, interest or
     fines resulting directly from the negligence of the Tax Indemnified Party
     in connection with the preparation or filing of any tax return unless such
     Tax Indemnified Party files any tax return in a manner requested by Lessee,
     required to be filed by such Tax Indemnified Party without regard to the
     transactions contemplated by this Lease, the payment of any taxes shown
     thereon or the conduct of any proceeding in respect thereof, except to the
     extent attributable to the failure of Lessee to perform its obligations or
     to otherwise perform its duties and responsibilities pursuant to this
     Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation to make payments
     hereunder;

          (v) so long as no Lessee Default or Event of Default shall be
     continuing, Taxes imposed with respect to any period after (i) the
     expiration of the Term and the return of the Aircraft to the Lessor in
     accordance with Section 5 of this Lease or (ii) the earlier discharge in
     full of Lessee's obligation to pay the Stipulated Loss Value and all other
     amounts due under this Lease; provided, however, that this exception shall
     not apply to Taxes (x) relating to events occurring or matters arising upon
     or prior to such expiration and return or discharge, 

                                      -51-
<PAGE>
 
     or (y) imposed on or with respect to any payments due after such expiration
     and return or discharge until after such payments have been made;

          (vi) Taxes to the extent of the excess of such Taxes over the amount
     of such Taxes which would have been imposed and indemnified against had
     there not been a sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition (whether
     voluntary or, if resulting from bankruptcy, foreclosure (other than
     foreclosure resulting from a Lessee Event of Default) or similar
     proceedings in which such Tax Indemnified Party is the debtor, involuntary)
     by a Tax Indemnified Party of any interest of such Tax Indemnified Party in
     the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Serviced Engine, or any Part, unless such
     transfer results from action taken by or on behalf of such Tax Indemnified
     Party after a Lessee Event of Default has occurred and while  it is
     continuing or any exercise by the Lessor of any of its remedies in
     connection with any such Lessee Event of Default;

          (vii)  Taxes arising out of or caused by any willful misconduct or
     gross negligence of such Tax Indemnified Party;

          (viii)  with respect to any Tax Indemnified Party, any Tax that
     results solely from such Tax Indemnified Party or a related Tax Indemnified
     Party engaging in transactions other than those contemplated by this Lease
     or any Long-Term Agreement, or those in which such Tax Indemnified Party is
     currently engaged;

          (ix) sales tax incurred by Lessor in connection with the maintenance
     of the Serviced Aircraft pursuant to Attachment A to Exhibit E hereto,
     other than any such tax, whether in the form of a sales tax, gross receipts
     tax or other functional equivalent of a sales tax imposed by the State of
     Hawaii; or

          (x) any Tax to the extent such Tax would not have been imposed if a
     Tax Indemnified Party or a related Tax Indemnified Party had not engaged in
     activities in the jurisdiction imposing such Tax which activities are
     unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the this Lease or the other
     Long Term Agreements, but only to the extent such Tax would not have been
     payable in the absence of such unrelated activities; or

          (xi) any failure of a Tax Indemnified Party to comply with (I)
     certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar
     requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection
     with the jurisdiction imposing such Tax, if such compliance is required by
     statute or by regulation of the jurisdiction imposing such Tax as a
     precondition to relief or exemption from such Tax; or (II) any other
     certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar
     requirements under the Tax laws or regulations of the jurisdiction imposing
     such Tax that would establish entitlement to otherwise applicable relief or
     exemption from such Tax; provided, however, that the exclusion set forth in
     this subsection 16(a)(x) shall not apply if (v) such failure to comply was
     due to a failure of the Lessee to provide such Tax Indemnified Party with
     the information required to be supplied by the Lessee in order for such Tax
     Indemnified Party to comply with such requirement or  due to a failure of
     the Lessee to notify such Tax Indemnified Party of such requirement and
     such Tax Indemnified Party was not otherwise aware of such requirement; or
     (w) such failure to 

                                      -52-
<PAGE>
 
     comply was done upon the advice, concurrence and/or direction or with the
     knowledge of the Lessee.

     (c) Calculation of General Tax Indemnity Payments.
         --------------------------------------------- 

          (i) Lessee agrees that, with respect to any payment or indemnity to a
     Tax Indemnified Party under Section 16 hereof, the Lessee's indemnity
     obligations shall include  the payment of an amount necessary to hold such
     Tax Indemnified Party harmless on an after-tax basis from all Taxes
     required to be paid by such Tax Indemnified Party with respect to such
     payment or indemnity (including any payments made pursuant to this
     subsection 16(c) under the laws of any Taxing Authority.

          (ii) If any Tax Indemnified Party shall realize a current tax benefit
     as a result of any Taxes paid or indemnified against by the Lessee under
     this Section 16 (except to the extent previously taken into account in
     computing the indemnity paid with respect to such Taxes), such Tax
     Indemnified Party shall, so long as no Lessee Event of Default shall have
     occurred and be continuing and no payment is due and owing by Lessee under
     this Lease or any Long-Term Agreement, pay to the Lessee an amount which,
     after subtraction of any further tax savings such Tax Indemnified Party
     realizes as a result of the payment thereof, is equal to the amount of such
     current tax benefit, but only after the Lessee shall have made all payments
     then due and owing to such Tax Indemnified Party pursuant to this Lease and
     the Long-Term Agreements; provided, that any subsequent loss of any tax
                               --------                                     
     benefit paid to the Lessee hereunder shall be treated as a Tax subject to
     indemnification in accordance with subsection 16(a) (without regard to any
     exclusions set forth in subsection 16(b) or the provisions of subsection
     16(g); and provided, further, that such Tax Indemnified Party shall not be
                --------  -------                                              
     obligated to make any payment pursuant to this subsection 16(c) to the
     extent that the amount of such payment would exceed (x) the amount of all
     prior payments by Lessee to such Tax Indemnified Party pursuant to this
     subsection 16(c), less (y) the amount of all prior payments by such Tax
     Indemnified Party to Lessee hereunder.  Each such Tax Indemnified Party
     shall in good faith use reasonable efforts in filing its tax returns and in
     dealing with taxing authorities to seek and claim any such tax benefit.

                                      -53-
<PAGE>
 
     (d) Payment of General Tax Indemnity.  Unless otherwise requested by a Tax
         --------------------------------                                      
Indemnified Party, or unless the Tax is being contested in accordance with the
provisions of subsections 16(g) hereof, the Lessee shall pay when due any Tax
for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 16 directly to the appropriate
Taxing Authority, or, upon written demand, shall reimburse a Tax Indemnified
Party for the payment of any such Tax made by such Tax Indemnified Party.
Within 30 days after the date of each payment by the Lessee of any Tax referred
to in the preceding sentence, the Lessee shall upon request furnish such Tax
Indemnified Party the original or a copy of the receipt for the Lessee's payment
of such Tax or such other evidence of payment of such Tax as is reasonably
acceptable to such Tax Indemnified Party.  The Lessee shall also cause to be
furnished, promptly upon request, such data as such Tax Indemnified Party
reasonably may require that are within the reasonable control or possession of
Lessee and are not otherwise reasonably obtainable by such Tax Indemnified Party
to enable such Tax Indemnified Party to comply with the requirements of any
Taxing Authority in respect of any Tax referred to in subsection 16(a) hereof.

     (e) Verification of Calculations.  At the request of Lessee, the accuracy
         ----------------------------                                         
of any calculation of the amount or amounts payable to a Taxing Authority or a
Tax Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 16 shall be verified by
independent public accountants selected by such Tax Indemnified Party and
reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, and such verification shall be binding on
both the Tax Indemnified Party and Lessee.  In order, and to the extent
necessary, to enable such independent accountants to verify such amounts, such
Tax Indemnified Party shall provide to such independent accountants (for their
confidential use and not to be disclosed to Lessee or any other person) all
information reasonably necessary for such verification.  Such verification shall
be at the expense of Lessee.

     (f) Reports.  If any report, return or statement is required to be filed
         -------                                                             
with respect to any Tax which is subject to indemnification under this Section
16, the Lessee shall timely file the same, except for any such report, return or
statement which a Tax Indemnified Party has notified the Lessee that it intends
to file.  The Lessee shall either file such report, return or statement so as to
show the ownership of the Aircraft in the Lessor and send a copy of such report,
return or statement to such Tax Indemnified Party or, where the Lessee is not so
permitted to file in the name of such Tax Indemnified Party, shall notify such
Tax Indemnified Party of such requirements and cooperate reasonably with such
Tax Indemnified Party with respect thereto.

     (g) General Tax Indemnity Contest Provisions.
         ---------------------------------------- 

          (i) Notice. If a Tax Indemnified Party receives a written notice
              ------                                                      
     regarding the imposition of a Tax, or if at the conclusion of any audit by
     any Taxing Authority there is a proposed adjustment regarding any Tax which
     if agreed to by such Tax Indemnified Party would result in the imposition
     of a Tax for which such Tax Indemnified Party would seek indemnification
     from the Lessee in an amount equal to or in excess of $25,000 pursuant to
     this Section 16, such Tax Indemnified Party shall within the lesser of:
     (A) 30 days after receipt of such written notice by a responsible officer
     of such Tax Indemnified Party or promptly after the conclusion of such
     audit; or (B) not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the
     statutory period to respond, so notify the Lessee in writing; provided,
     however, that the failure so to notify the Lessee shall not diminish the
     Lessee's obligations hereunder, except in the event that Lessee's rights to
     contest such tax shall have been 

                                      -54-
<PAGE>
 
     precluded by such failure, and after such contest, Lessor would not have
     been liable for such taxes and except for any interest or penalties related
     to any late or missed payment dates.

          (ii) Contest Provisions.  If requested by the Lessee in writing, a Tax
               ------------------                                               
     Indemnified Party shall in good faith contest in the name of such Tax
     Indemnified Party or, if requested  by the Lessee and if such contest does
     not in such Tax Indemnified Party's reasonable discretion involve or
     potentially involve taxes imposed on such Tax Indemnified Party that are
     not indemnified against hereunder, to contest in the name of the Lessee (or
     permit the Lessee, if requested by the Lessee, to contest in the name of
     the Lessee or the Tax Indemnified Party) the validity, applicability and
     amount of the imposition of any Tax or any proposed adjustment that would
     give rise to the proposed imposition of any Tax by (a) resisting payment
     thereof, if such Tax Indemnified Party in its sole and reasonable
     discretion shall determine such course of action to be appropriate, (b) not
     paying the same except under protest, if protest is necessary and proper,
     or (c) if payment shall be made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a
     refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings;
     provided, however, that (u) such Tax Indemnified Party shall not be
     required to contest such imposition or proposed adjustment if the aggregate
     amount of an indemnity on an after-tax basis, would be less than $25,000,
     (v) no Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (w) such Tax
     Indemnified Party has been provided with an opinion of independent tax
     counsel selected by such Tax Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to
     the Lessee (the cost of which shall be borne by the Lessee) to the effect
     that a reasonable basis in law or in fact exists that such Tax Indemnified
     Party will prevail in such contest, (x) such Tax Indemnified Party, at its
     sole option, may at any time forego any and all administrative appeals,
     proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Taxing Authority and, in
     lieu thereof, continue to contest the claim in any permissible judicial
     forum selected by such Tax Indemnified Party, (y) Lessee shall have agreed
     to pay such Tax Indemnified Party (or, in the case of item (iii) below,
     lend to such Tax Indemnified Party on an interest-free basis (and in such
     case pay any additional amount as shall be required to hold such Tax
     Indemnified Party harmless on a net after-tax basis from any adverse tax
     consequences attributable to the loan), on demand, all reasonable out-of-
     pocket costs and expenses which such Tax Indemnified Party incurs in
     connection with and reasonably allocable to contesting such imposition or
     adjustment, including, without limitation, (i) all legal, accountants' and
     investigatory fees and disbursements, (ii) the amount of any interest,
     penalties or additions to tax (to the date such payment is made) payable as
     a result of contesting such adjustment, and (iii) if such contest  is to be
     initiated by the payment of, and the claiming of a refund for, the amount
     of such imposition or adjustment, funds sufficient to make such payment of,
     and the claiming of a refund for, the amount of such imposition or
     adjustment, funds sufficient to make such payment (and in the event such
     contest is finally determined adversely, the amount of such loan shall be
     applied against the Lessee's obligation to indemnify such Tax Indemnified
     Party for the Tax which was the subject of such contest); and (z) such
     proceedings do not involve any risk (other than a remote risk) of the sale,
     forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Serviced Engine or
     any Part or interest therein or, if there is such a risk, Lessee has
     provided to such Tax Indemnified Party a bond in form and substance
     reasonably satisfactory to such Tax Indemnified Party in an amount
     sufficient to protect such Tax Indemnified Party from any detriment that
     would be suffered by the Lessor as a result of such sale, forfeiture,  

                                      -55-
<PAGE>
 
     or loss or has otherwise protected such Tax Indemnified Party in a manner
     acceptable to such Tax Indemnified Party and there is no risk or the
     imposition of criminal penalties. Such Tax Indemnified Party will consult
     with Lessee regarding any contest and will consider in good faith any
     suggestions made by Lessee with respect to the most favorable forum for,
     and the conduct of, such contest; provided, however, that, unless such Tax
     Indemnified Party elects to permit Lessee to conduct such contest, such
     contest shall be controlled by such Tax Indemnified Party and conducted by
     independent counsel selected by such Tax Indemnified Party or by "in-house"
     counsel of such Tax Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to Lessee.
     In the event that such Tax Indemnified Party elects to permit the Lessee to
     conduct such contest, the independent counsel selected by the Lessee to
     conduct such contest shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Tax
     Indemnified Party. If requested by the Lessee in writing, such Tax
     Indemnified Party will appeal (or, if desired by such Tax Indemnified
     Party, permit the Lessee to appeal) any adverse judicial determination,
     provided that, as a condition to the commencement of the appeal of such
     adverse judicial determination, (a) such Tax Indemnified Party shall
     receive, at the Lessee's expense, an opinion of independent counsel,
     selected by such Tax Indemnified Party and reasonably satisfactory to
     Lessee, to the effect that a more likely than not probability of success
     exists for such appeal and (b) Lessee shall have acknowledged its liability
     to such Indemnified Party for an indemnity payment as a result of such tax
     claim if such Tax Indemnified Party shall not prevail in the contest;
     provided, however, that such Tax Indemnified Party shall not be required to
     appeal any adverse judicial determination to the United States Supreme
     Court.

     Notwithstanding anything contained in this subsection 16(g) to the
contrary, no Tax Indemnified Party shall be required to contest any claim if the
subject matter thereof shall be of a continuing nature and shall have previously
been decided pursuant to the contest provisions of this subsection 16(g)
(including a contest pursuant to the contest provisions hereof in which the Tax
Indemnified Party may be required to contest such a claim if there shall have
been a change in the law (including, without limitation, amendments to statutes
or regulations, administrative ruling and court decisions)) or Lessee shall have
provided new facts after such claim shall have been so previously decided, and
such Tax Indemnified Party shall have received an opinion of independent tax
counsel selected by such Tax Indemnified Party and approved by the Lessee (the
cost of which shall be borne by the Lessee) to the effect that, as a result of
such change or new facts, it is more likely than not that the position which
such Tax Indemnified Party or the Lessee, as the case may be, had asserted in
such previous contest, would prevail; provided, that the provisions of this
                                      --------                             
paragraph shall not require an Tax Indemnified Party to file an amended tax
return or refund claim for any prior taxable period.

     (h) Compromise or Settlement.  A Tax Indemnified Party shall have the right
         ------------------------                                               
to settle or compromise a contest if such Tax Indemnified Party has provided
Lessee a reasonable opportunity  to review a copy of that portion of the
settlement or compromise proposal which relates to the Tax for which such Tax
Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification hereunder, provided that, if (i)
                                                        --------             
such Tax Indemnified Party fails to provide the Lessee such a reasonable
opportunity to review such portion of such proposal or (ii) after such
reasonable opportunity to review such proposal the Lessee in writing reasonably
withholds its consent to all or part of such settlement or compromise proposal,
the Lessee shall not be obligated to indemnify such Tax Indemnified Party
hereunder to the extent of the amount attributable to the Tax to which such
settlement or 

                                      -56-
<PAGE>
 
compromise relates as to which the Lessee has reasonably withheld its consent.
If such Tax Indemnified Party effects a settlement or compromise of such contest
without giving notice to the Lessee or, notwithstanding that the Lessee has
reasonably withheld its consent thereto, such Tax Indemnified Party shall repay
to the Lessee such amounts theretofore advanced by the Lessee pursuant to clause
(y)(iii) of subsection 16(g)(i) hereof as relate to such claim, to the extent
the Lessee has reasonably withheld its consent to the settlement or compromise
thereof.

     (i) Refunds.  If any Tax Indemnified Party shall obtain a refund of all or
         -------                                                               
any part of any Taxes that the Lessee shall have paid for such Tax Indemnified
Party or for which the Lessee shall have reimbursed such Tax Indemnified Party,
such Tax Indemnified Party shall, so long as no Default or Lessee Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no payment is due and owing by
the Lessee under this Agreement or any Long-Term Agreement, pay to the Lessee an
amount which is equal to the sum of the amount of such refund, plus any interest
received attributable thereto net of any net taxes payable by such Tax
Indemnified Party with respect to the receipt or accrual of such interest and
the payment thereof to the Lessee, but only after the Lessee shall have made all
payments then due and owing to such Tax Indemnified Party pursuant to this
Section 16; provided, however, that any subsequent loss of any refund paid to
            --------  -------                                                
the Lessee hereunder shall be treated as a Tax subject to indemnification in
accordance with this Section 16 (without regard to any exclusions set forth in
subsection 16(b) or the provisions of subsection 16(g).

     (j) Failure to Contest.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
         ------------------                                                     
in this subsection 16(g), a Tax Indemnified Party may at any time decline to
take any further action with respect to a proposed adjustment or the imposition
of a Tax; provided, that if the Lessee has properly requested such action
          --------                                                       
pursuant to, and is otherwise entitled to require any action to be taken by a
Tax Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of subsection 16(g), and such
Tax Indemnified Party has failed to contest, or permit the Lessee to contest,
such proposed adjustment or the imposition of such Tax, such Tax Indemnified
Party shall be deemed to have waived its right to any Indemnity payment that
would otherwise be payable by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 16 in respect
of such adjustment or the imposition of such Tax.  In such event, such Tax
Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Lessee for all amounts previously advanced
by the Lessee to such Tax Indemnified Party with respect to such proposed
adjustment pursuant to clause (y)(iii) of subsection 16(g) hereof. If an Tax
Indemnified Party fails to contest or to permit a contest hereunder, such Tax
Indemnified Party will not be required to pay over the Lessee any amount
representing tax benefits described in subsection 16(c)(B) hereof which result
from the payment of Taxes as to which such Tax Indemnified Party has been deemed
to have waived its right to any indemnity payment hereunder.

     (k) Interest.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the
         --------                                                             
Stipulated Interest Rate shall be paid, on demand, on any amount not paid when
due, pursuant to Section 16 until the same shall be paid.  Such interest shall
be paid in the same manner as the unpaid amount in respect of which such
interest is due.

     (l) Effect of Other Indemnities.  The Lessee's obligations under the
         ---------------------------                                     
indemnities provided for in this Agreement and the Long-Term Agreements shall be
those of a primary obligor whether or not the Person indemnified shall also be
indemnified with respect to the same matter under the terms of this Agreement,
any Lease or any Long-Term Agreement or any other document or instrument, and
the Person seeking indemnification from the Lessee pursuant to any provisions of
this Agreement 

                                      -57-

may proceed directly against the Lessee without first seeking to enforce any
other right of indemnification.

         ---------------------------                                       
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  To the extent permitted

other provision hereof, and no waiver shall be effective unless in writing.

     (d)    Confidentiality.
            ----------------
            (i) Confidential Information.  For purposes of this Agreement,
                ------------------------                                  
     confidential information shall mean any and all (i) trade secrets, (ii)
     confidential or other proprietary information of a party or its Affiliates
     concerning past, present or future research, development, business
     activities or affairs, finances, properties, methods of operation,
     processes and systems, (iii) customer lists, and (iv) other customer
     information, whether oral, written or contained in any magnetic, electronic
     or other media; provided, that in order for a party's information to be
                     --------                                               
     considered confidential hereunder such information, if non-oral,  must be
     marked by such party as confidential; and provided further, that oral
                                               -------- -------           
     information must be specified as confidential at the time of disclosure
     (collectively, "Confidential Information"). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
     the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions
     of this Agreement set forth in Exhibit E of this Agreement constitute
     Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any information
     regarding this Lease and the terms or provisions thereof provided to Head
     Lease Lessor, Mortgagee, Seller or any Participant pursuant to the terms of
     this Lease, the Participation Agreement, the Indenture or the Head Lease
     shall not constitute Confidential Information. The party which receives
     Confidential Information from the other party agrees to maintain such
     information in secrecy at all times, using the same degree of care with
     respect to such Confidential Information as it uses in protecting its own
     proprietary information, trade secrets and similar items; provided, that
                                                               --------      
     Confidential Information may be used in an action by one party to this
     Agreement against the other if subject to the conditions set forth in (ii)
     below. Information of either party which would otherwise be considered
     Confidential Information shall not be considered Confidential Information
     if such information is in the public domain,  or is placed 

                                      -62-
<PAGE>
 
     in the public domain through no violation of this Agreement, or is lawfully
     obtained from another source free of restriction.

          (ii) Use of Confidential Information.  Except to the extent expressly
               -------------------------------                                 
     permitted in Section 4(l) of Exhibit E, neither party shall sell, transfer,
     publish, disclose, display or otherwise make available the Confidential
     Information of the other party to any third party (and third parties shall
     be deemed also to include Affiliates of the party so restricted which  are
     not parents or subsidiaries), except as may be required by Applicable Law
     in which case the party from whom disclosure is sought shall promptly
     notify the other party.  To the extent that the other party objects to
     disclosure of such Confidential Information, the party from which
     disclosure is sought shall (i) use reasonable and lawful efforts to resist
     making any disclosure of such Confidential Information, (ii) use reasonable
     and lawful efforts to limit the amount of such Confidential Information to
     be disclosed, and (iii) use all reasonable efforts to obtain a protective
     order or other appropriate relief to minimize the further dissemination  of
     any Confidential Information to be disclosed.  In addition, neither party
     shall disclose the Confidential Information of the other party to any
     employee or agent except on a need-to-know basis. Each party shall use
     reasonable efforts to inform all such employees and agents that the
     Confidential Information of the other party is subject to this non-
     disclosure obligation.  Furthermore, neither party shall use the
     Confidential Information of the other party for any purpose other than as
     expressly provided in this Agreement.

          (iii) Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any cause or
                -----------
     reason, each party shall, within ninety (90) days of such termination,
     either deliver to the other party or destroy all of such other party's
     Confidential Information (including all copies thereof, other than copies
     of this Agreement) at the option of the other party then in its possession
     and shall purge any copies thereof encoded or stored on magnetic or other
     electronic media or processors; provided, that neither Lessee nor Lessor
                                     -------- 
     shall be required to purge or destroy any Confidential Information that is
     reasonably necessary in connection with the resolution of any disputes
     which may have arisen pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

          (iv) No Adequate Remedy.  Each party acknowledges and agrees that the
               ------------------                                              
     other party will have no adequate remedy at law if there is a breach or
     threatened breach of this Section 17(d) and, accordingly, that the other
     party shall be entitled to an injunction against such breach.  Nothing
     herein shall be construed as a waiver of any other legal or equitable
     remedies that may be available to either party if the other party breaches
     this Section 17(d).

          (v) Survival.  The restrictions of this Section 17(d) shall survive
              --------                                                       
     for a period of eight (8) years after the termination or expiration of this
     Agreement.

          (vi) Affiliates.  The Affiliates of Lessor and Lessee shall comply in
               ----------                                                      
     all respects with the restrictions of this Section 17(d) and Lessor and
     Lessee, respectively,  shall in all respects be responsible for their
     compliance.

         (vii) Other Confidentiality Agreements. The provisions of this Section
               --------------------------------
     17(d) are in addition to, and shall terms hereof may be deemed to be
     inconsistent with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement or such
     Confidentiality Agreement shall be silent, this 

                                      -63-
<PAGE>
 
     Agreement shall control with respect to this Agreement and any Confidential
     Information relating hereto. Upon the written consent of Lessor, which
     consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, Lessee may provide this
     Agreement to third party lenders or investors of Lessee; provided, that the
     party receiving this Agreement shall, prior to obtaining it, enter into a
     confidentiality agreement with Lessee for the benefit of Lessor in
     substantially the form of this Section 17(d).

     (e) Counterparts.  This Lease and the Lease Supplement No. 1 may be
         ------------                                                   
executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and
all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.  To the
extent that this Lease constitutes chattel paper, as such term is defined in the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction, no security
interest in this Lease may be created through the transfer or possession of any
counterpart other than the counterpart marked as the "Original" and containing
the receipt therefor executed by the applicable secured party on the signature
page thereof.

     (f) Grant of Security Interest by Lessor.  In compliance with the terms of
         ------------------------------------                                  
this Section, Lessor may grant a security interest in this Lease as collateral
for a loan provided Lessor notifies Lessee at least ten (10) Business Days
before granting such security interest.  The rights of Lessee under this Lease
shall be superior in all respects to the rights of any such lender and Lessor
shall require any such lender to agree in writing in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessee that such lender's rights in and to the
Aircraft and under the Lease shall be subject and subordinate  to the terms of
this Lease to receive all such performance from Lessor as may from time to time
be required by the terms hereof.  Lessee agrees to reasonably cooperate with
Lessor in connection with Lessor's efforts to grant such security interest and
to provide, at Lessor's cost and expense, such documents and certificates in
connection therewith as Lessor may reasonably request, provided, that anything
                                                       --------               
in this Section 17(f) to the contrary notwithstanding, the consummation of any
such loan shall not increase the actual or potential responsibilities or
liabilities of the Lessee or deprive Lessee of any of its rights or privileges
under the Long-Term Agreements.

     (g) Survival.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the
         --------                                                           
Long-Term Agreements, the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in
this Agreement, and the obligations hereunder, shall survive any transfer of
title or possession of the Serviced Aircraft, any Serviced Engines or any
Serviced Part, any termination or expiration of this Agreement or any
impossibility of performance of this Agreement or frustration of purpose of this
Agreement.

     (h) Assignment.  SUBJECT TO THE TERMS HEREOF, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BIND AND
         ----------                                                             
BENEFIT LESSOR, LESSEE, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND PERMITTED ASSIGNS.

OBLIGATIONS UNDER EXHIBIT E OR ANY RELATED PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ANY
AFFILIATE THAT IS NOT CERTIFICATED BY THE FAA TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE SERVICES.
SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 4(f) OF EXHIBIT E, LESSOR MAY SUBCONTRACT

     hereto,

               (a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
     jurisdiction of:  (i) the United States District Court for the Northern
     District of Texas, and of the courts of the State of Texas in Tarrant
     County, and (ii) to the United States District Court for the District of

     any other party, and (iii) any federal, state or foreign court of competent
     jurisdiction where the In-Use Aircraft may be located from time to time for
     the purpose of Lessor exercising any rights and remedies under this Lease
     Agreement, including, without limitation, repossession of the In-Use
     Aircraft.  Lessor and Lessee each agrees that neither of them will bring
     any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Lease Agreement,
     the subject matter herein, or any of the transactions described herein, in
     any jurisdiction other than the jurisdictions described above.

               (b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereby
     waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or
     otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim (i) that it is
     not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, (ii)
     that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum,
     (iii) that it is immune from any legal process with respect to itself or
     its property, (iv) that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is
     improper, or (v) that this Lease Agreement or the subject matter hereof may
     not be enforced in or by such courts;

               (c) Lessee agrees to designate CT Corporation in Texas as its
     agent for service of process in Texas, and Lessor agrees to designate CT
     Corporation in Hawaii as its agent for service of process in Hawaii.
     Lessor and Lessee each agrees that submission to jurisdiction and
     designation of an agent for service of process set forth above is made
     solely for the express benefit of the other party and is effective solely
     for purposes of this Lease Agreement;

               (d) Final judgment against a party in any suit in any court of
     competent jurisdiction shall be conclusive, and may be enforced in other
     jurisdictions, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by suit on the
     judgment, a certified and true copy of which, to the extent permitted by
     Applicable Law, shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and the amount of
     any indebtedness or liability of the party therein described; and

               (e) To the extent that any party or any of its property is or
     becomes entitled at any time to any immunity on the grounds of sovereignty
     or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from setoff or
     counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any competent court, from service of
     process, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of
     execution, or from jurisdiction, that party for itself and its property
     does hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, and agrees not to plead
     or claim any such immunity with respect to its obligations, liabilities or
     any other matter arising hereof.  Such agreement shall be irrevocable and
     not subject to withdrawal in any and all jurisdictions

          (II) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  LESSEE AND LESSOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVE TRIAL
               --------------------                                            
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE AGREEMENT OR ANY
MATTER RELATED HERETO.

          (III)  OTHER WAIVERS.  LESSEE AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT UPON THE
                 -------------                                               
OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, LESSOR SHALL
SUFFER IRREPARABLE HARM FOR WHICH MONEY DAMAGES WILL NOT BE ADEQUATE OR CANNOT
BE READILY ASCERTAINED.  IN FURTHERANCE THEREOF, LESSEE AGREES THAT IT WILL TAKE
NO ACTION TO HINDER, DELAY OR INTERFERE WITH ANY ACTIONS TAKEN BY LESSOR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE REPOSSESSION OF THE IN-USE AIRCRAFT. SPECIFICALLY, LESSEE
WILL NOT TAKE ANY ACTION WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE LESSOR TO BREACH THE PEACE IN
CONNECTION WITH REPOSSESSION OF THE IN-USE AIRCRAFT. LESSEE CONSENTS TO THE
ISSUANCE OF ANY ORDER OF ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION ENABLING LESSOR TO
REPOSSESS THE IN-USE AIRCRAFT, FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT,
WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF LESSOR POSTING OR ISSUING ANY BOND.  IN ADDITION,
LESSEE AGREES THAT UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT DESCRIBED IN
SECTIONS 13A(I) OR (J) OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT, LESSEE SHALL NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF ANY PERIODS SPECIFIED IN SECTIONS 365 OR 1110 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE DURING
WHICH IT MIGHT RETAIN POSSESSION OF THE IN-USE AIRCRAFT OR THE PROVISIONS OF THE
AUTOMATIC STAY SET FORTH IN SECTION 362 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE, AND, WITHOUT
LIMITING OTHER REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO LESSOR, SHALL EITHER IMMEDIATELY UPON THE
FILING OF ANY BANKRUPTCY PETITION TURN OVER THE IN-SERVICE AIRCRAFT TO LESSOR OR
PAY ALL AMOUNTS THEN DUE AND OWING HEREUNDER AND THEREAFTER ACCRUING UNDER THIS
LEASE AGREEMENT.  IN THE EVENT THAT AN ORDER IS ISSUED GIVING LESSOR POSSESSION
OF ANY IN-USE AIRCRAFT, LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO RETURN OF
POSSESSION OF SUCH AIRCRAFT, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT SEEK ANY ORDER
PERMITTING IT TO RETAIN OR REPOSSESS SUCH AIRCRAFT, BY POSTING A BOND OR
OTHERWISE.  IN THE EVENT THAT ANY COURT DECLINES TO ISSUE AN ORDER PERMITTING
LESSOR TO REPOSSESS ANY IN-USE AIRCRAFT UNLESS LESSOR POSTS OR ISSUES A BOND, OR
LESSOR ELECTS NOT TO REQUEST THAT THE REQUIREMENT FOR SUCH A BOND BE WAIVED,
LESSEE HEREBY AGREES THAT (IF LESSOR SO ELECTS) THE AMOUNT OF SUCH BOND SHALL
NOT BE REQUIRED TO EXCEED ONE YEAR'S BASIC RENT FOR SUCH AIRCRAFT.

     (n) Offset.  Until all Deferred Basic Rent is paid under the Long-Term
         ------

this Lease Agreement, or the other Long-Term Agreements by drawing upon any
letter of credit or withdrawing any portion or all of the Deposit (which may
constitute all or a portion of the Letter of Credit). Nothing set forth in this
Subsection 17(n) or Subsection 17(n) of the Long-Term Lease Agreement, the July
Lease Agreement or the November Lease Agreement shall otherwise limit Lessor's
right to draw upon or withdraw from the Letter of Credit to the extent otherwise
set forth herein or in any Long-Term Agreement.

                         DELIVERY AND RETURN CONDITIONS
                         ------------------------------

The following conditions shall apply to the Aircraft upon delivery of the In-Use
Aircraft by Lessor to Lessee and upon return of Return Aircraft to the Lessor by
the Lessee pursuant to this Agreement.

                 CONDITION OF IN-USE AIRCRAFT UPON DELIVERY AND
                 ----------------------------------------------
                          RETURN AIRCRAFT UPON RETURN
                          ---------------------------

Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessor shall deliver the In-Use Aircraft to Lessee
AS-IS, WHERE-IS; and Lessee shall return the Return Aircraft to the Lessor in
compliance with all of the following provisions:

1.   Inspection of "on-condition" and "condition monitored" components will have
been accomplished when due and all such items shall be serviceable.

2.   It is the intent of the parties that the condition of the In-Use Aircraft
at the time of delivery of the Return Aircraft at the termination of the Lease
shall be to conform to that of the standards of international air
transportation, with the interior and exterior in good repair and appearance,
without significant corrosion, or structural maintenance work deferred, and with
all Airworthiness Directives in full compliance.  It is further the intent of
the Lease that the Return Aircraft and its Serviced Engines will be readily
transferable to the registration of another carrier without having to undergo
significant repairs, refurbishment or modification being required on the Return
Aircraft.  At the time of such return, the Return Aircraft shall comply with the
following conditions:

     A.   Upon return to Lessor, the Return Aircraft shall comply with Lessee's
          FAA-approved maintenance program.

     B.   All deferred maintenance items and all deficiencies or discrepancies
          which by their nature are outside Lessee's maintenance manual limits
          for unrestricted 

                                     C2-3
<PAGE>
 
          operation found prior to or during the return inspection or final
          inspection or demonstration delivery flight(s) shall be corrected by
          repair in accordance with the approved Lessee's maintenance manual.

     C.   The fuel, hydraulic, pneumatic, water and waste system leaks on the
          Return Aircraft shall be within the limits allowable pursuant to
          Lessee's maintenance manual.  This is to be demonstrated by filling
          all tanks and reservoirs to capacity and performance of a functional
          and leak check of all related systems. The cost of such checks shall
          be borne by the Lessee.

     D.   The Return Aircraft on return by Lessee and all parts installed shall
          have all necessary FAA approved service tags or equivalent Lessee
          documents approved by the Lessee's maintenance program.

               1, 4930-2 and 4930-3 [for inspections] (or any such replacement
               card therefor). Each card shall have attached thereto findings
               and comments along with visual records (photographic or video
               data). Inspected engines shall meet the requirements of
               manufacturer's maintenance manual. Borescope inspection findings
               that result in inspection intervals being reduced to less than
               400 hours will be corrected by engine replacement and/or repair
               prior to the return of the Return Aircraft by Lessee.

               Borescope inspections shall have been completed by Lessor/Lessee
               or its authorized representative, at Lessee's expense. In the
               event the APU fails to meet the pneumatic or electrical load
               requirements, the APU shall be changed.

          b.   Each installed engine will be subject to completion of a power
               assurance run and review of engine trend analysis with all engine
               parameters being within limits in accordance with the appropriate
               manufacturer's engine manual.  Engine ground runs for the Return
               Aircraft shall be conducted in accordance with Lessor's engine
               ground run-up card number DR71-95-18 (or any such replacement
               card therefor).  Engine Exhaust Gas Temperature ("EGT") shall not
               exceed a maximum of 925 (degrees) C during ground runs to max
               power. In the event EGT exceeds 925 (degrees) C and adjustments
               cannot be accomplished with the engine installed within eight
               working hours to reduce EGT below 925 (degrees) C at max power,
               the engine installed shall be rejected and a Replacement Engine
               installed.

                                      D-2

          c.   No installed engine shall be on "watch" and each such engine
               shall comply with the operations specification of Lessee without
               waiver or exceptions.

     In the event Lessor is no longer maintaining the In-Use Aircraft, the
     expense of complying with this paragraph E shall be at Lessee's sole
     expense. In the event Lessor is maintaining the In-Use Aircraft pursuant to
     Exhibit E hereto, the cost of any repairs or replacements required by this
     Paragraph E shall be borne by the parties in accordance with the other
     terms of Exhibit E as if such repairs and replacements were made in the
     normal course of the term of the Lease Agreement, except to the extent
     specifically set forth in this Exhibit E.

          ---------------------------------------                            
into this Lease Agreement, Lessor makes the following representations and
warranties each of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Lease
Agreement and the Delivery Date:

          (i)    the execution and delivery by Lessor of this Agreement have
     been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
     Lessor, do not require any approval of stockholders of Lessor (or if such
     approval is required, such approval has been obtained), and the execution
     and delivery hereof, and/or the consummation by Lessor of the transactions
     contemplated hereby, and/or compliance by Lessor with any of the terms and
     provisions hereof, do not contravene any provisions of the Certificate of
     Incorporation or By-laws of Lessor, or result in any breach of, or
     constitute any default under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon
     any assets or property of Lessor under, any (A) indenture, mortgage, lease,
     chattel mortgage, deed of trust, conditional sales contract, bank loan,
     credit agreement or other material agreement or instrument to which Lessor
     is a party or by which Lessor or its properties may be bound or materially
     affected, which breach or default would have a material adverse effect on
     its ability to perform the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or
     (B) any Applicable Law binding on Lessor, which breach or default would
     have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform the transactions
     contemplated by this Agreement;

          (ii)   the execution and delivery by Lessor of this Agreement and the
     performance by Lessor of its obligations under this Agreement do not
     require the consent or approval of, or registration with, or the giving of
     prior notice to, any Person including any federal, state or foreign
     Governmental Authority or entity having appropriate jurisdiction, except
     (A) any such consent, approval, notice registration, notice or action that
     has been obtained or as would not affect the validity, enforceability or
     binding nature of this Agreement, (B) routine reporting requirements of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission, the FAA, the DOT or other Governmental
     Authorities after the Effective Date and (C) any such consent required by
     the Head Lease, which consent has been obtained;

          (iii)  this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Lessor
     and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Lessee,
     constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Lessor, fully
     enforceable against Lessor in accordance with its terms;

          (iv)   Lessor is not in default, and no condition exists that with
     notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default, under any
     material mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, or other instrument or
     agreement to which it is a party, or by which it or any of its properties
     or assets may be bound, that would have a material adverse effect on its
     ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

                                      20
<PAGE>
 
          (v)    there are no pending or, to the knowledge of Lessor, threatened
     investigations, suits or proceedings against it or affecting it or its
     properties or operations, that, if determined adversely, would materially
     adversely affect the consummation by Lessor of the transactions described
     in, or the performance of its obligations under, this Agreement;

          (vi)   Lessor is not in violation of, or in default under, any
     Applicable Law, of any Governmental Authority or any permit or certificate
     issued or granted by any Governmental Authority, that would have a material
     adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this
     Agreement;

          (vii)  Lessor is certificated under 14 C.F.R. Part 121 to perform
     Maintenance Services; and

          (viii) Lessor has the right to transfer possession and use of the
     Serviced Engines to Lessee.

                    ------------------------------ 

     (a)  Return of Airframe and Serviced Engines.  Upon the termination of this
          ---------------------------------------                               
Lease at the end of the Term or pursuant to Sections 8 or 14A hereof, Lessee
shall return the Return Aircraft by delivering the same, at its own expense, to
Tulsa, Oklahoma (TUL), Marana, Arizona (MZJ), Amarillo, Texas (AMA), Dallas/Fort
Worth International Airport (DFW), or Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) at
Lessor's sole option. Upon the expiration of the Term or pursuant to Sections 8
or 14A, as the case may be, Lessee shall make the redelivered Return Aircraft
available for inspection by Lessor and its representatives and designees. At the
time of the return of the Return Aircraft:

          (i)    the Return Aircraft shall be in compliance with the Return
     Conditions as set forth in Exhibit D;

          (ii)   the Return Aircraft shall be in compliance with Lessee's 
     FAA-approved maintenance program;

          (iii)  each Item of Equipment and Engine shall be free and clear of
     all Liens (except any Head Lease Lessor's Liens or Lessor's Liens);

          (iv)   the Return Aircraft shall be in the same passenger
     configuration as when delivered to Lessee, and each Item of Equipment shall
     be in as good an operating condition as when delivered to the Lessee on the
     Delivery Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted;

          (v)    Upon the return of the Airframe, either at the end of the Term,
     pursuant to Section 8 hereof or pursuant to Section 14A, (i) Lessee shall
     have no obligation with respect to the amount of fuel or oil contained in
     the Airframe and all fuel or oil remaining 

                                      21
<PAGE>
 
     on board the Airframe shall be the property of Lessor without charge and
     (ii) Lessee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lessor all logs,
     manuals and data, and inspection, modification and overhaul records
     required to be maintained with respect thereto under applicable rules and
     regulations of the FAA;

          (vi)   Subject to the availability of storage space, upon the
     termination of the Lease as to the Aircraft, upon request of Lessor, Lessee
     shall provide Lessor with storage facilities for such Return Aircraft for a
     period not exceeding ninety (90) days in accordance with the applicable
     manufacturer's recommendations for storage and FAA regulations and shall
     arrange for insurance and maintenance (performance of such maintenance
     subject to the availability of Lessee's employees) for such Return Aircraft
     during such storage period.  The Lessor shall pay Lessee's direct costs for
     such storage, maintenance and insurance without mark-up; and

          (vii)  Any Serviced Engines returned by Lessee on any Return Aircraft
     are deemed to be Engines for the purpose of compliance with Return
     Conditions.

     So long as Lessor is maintaining the Aircraft pursuant to Exhibit E
attached hereto, the Return Conditions set forth in Exhibit D (other than
Sections 2F(a) and (b), k, 2M(2), (4) and (5) and 2P thereof and the obligation
to return all documents required for return set forth in Exhibit D and the
obligation to return the Aircraft clean) shall be deemed to be satisfied with
respect to the Aircraft.

     (b)  Return of Other Engines.  In the event that any engine that is not a
          -----------------------                                             
Serviced Engine shall be installed on the Airframe returned, such engine shall
be an engine suitable to be a Replacement Engine hereunder. Upon return of the
Aircraft, Lessee shall duly convey to Lessor good title to any such engine, free
and clear of all Liens and, upon such conveyance, Lessee will furnish Lessor
with a full warranty bill of sale, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to it, with respect to such engine and take such other action as may be
reasonably requested in order that title to such engine may be duly and properly
vested in Lessor to the same extent as the Engine replaced thereby. Upon
conveyance of good title to such engine to Lessor, and upon full compliance by
Lessee with its obligations hereunder, at Lessee's expenses, Lessor will
transfer to Lessee all rights, title and interest originally conveyed to Lessor
in an Engine constituting part of the Aircraft but not installed on the Airframe
at the time of the return of the Airframe "as-is, where-is", free and clear of
any Head Lease Lessor's Liens and Lessor's Liens but otherwise without recourse
or warranty, express or implied to Lessee.

     Section 6.     Liens.  Lessee shall not directly or indirectly create,
                    -----                                                  
incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Airframe or
any Engine or any Serviced Engine or any Parts, title thereto or any interest
therein or in this Lease except (i) the respective rights of Lessor and Lessee
as herein provided and of Head Lease Lessor and Lessor as provided in the Head
Lease, (ii) the rights of others under agreements or arrangements to the extent
expressly permitted by the terms of Sections 7(e) and 7(h), (iii) Head Lease
Lessor's Liens or Lessor's Liens, (iv) Liens for Taxes either not yet due or
being contested in good faith (and the payment of which has been bonded to the
satisfaction of Lessor) by appropriate proceedings so long as such 

                                      22
<PAGE>
 
proceedings do not involve any danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the
Airframe or any Engine or any Serviced Engine or interest therein, (v)
materialmen's, mechanics', workmen's, repairmen's, employees' or other like
liens arising in the ordinary course of business for amounts the payment of
which is either not yet delinquent or is being contested in good faith (and the
payment of which has been bonded to the satisfaction of Lessor) by appropriate
proceedings so long as such proceedings do not involve any danger of the sale,
forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or any Engine or any Serviced Engine or
interest therein, (vi) liens arising out of judgments or awards against Lessee
with respect to which at the time an appeal or proceeding for review is being
prosecuted in good faith and with respect to which there shall have been secured
a stay of execution pending such appeal or proceeding for review, (vii) the
Pooling Agreement and (viii) the Head Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, Lessee shall not, in any event, create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Lien on or with respect to the Airframe, title thereto or any interest
therein in violation of the terms of the Head Lease. Lessee shall promptly, at
its own expense, take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge (by
bonding or otherwise) any such Lien not excepted above if the same shall arise
at any time.

     (a)  Registration, Maintenance and Operation.  Lessee, at its own cost and
          ---------------------------------------                              
expense, shall:

          (i)    maintain, service, repair, overhaul and test or cause to be
     maintained, serviced, repaired, overhauled and tested each Item of
     Equipment in accordance with Lessee's FAA approved maintenance program, so
     as to keep each Item of Equipment (A) in at least as good an operating

     such other non-mandatory Manufacturer's service bulletins reasonably
     requested by Lessor and by the Manufacturer, (C) in conformity with all
     AD's that are required to be performed with respect to any Item of
     Equipment during the Lease Term, (D) in conformity with the requirements of
     any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Item of
     Equipment, (E) in such condition that the Airframe and each Serviced Engine
     will comply with the FAA type certificate (as in effect from time to time)
     issued to the Manufacturer of the Airframe or such Serviced Engine and in
     compliance with a maintenance program approved by the FAA so long as such
     maintenance program conforms to the maintenance program (as in effect from
     time to time) established by the applicable FAA-approved maintenance review
     board report for airframes and engines of the same type, and (F) in such
     condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of
     the In-Use Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times (and, in
     the case of any Engine when it is not installed on the Airframe, so as to
     keep such Engine serviceable at all times except when such Engine is
     awaiting overhaul, maintenance, repair, inspection or servicing in the
     normal course of Lessee's FAA-approved or compatible maintenance program)
     under the rules and regulations of the FAA. All maintenance on the Airframe
     and Serviced Engines shall be performed by Lessee in accordance with the
     standards set forth above. Lessee 

                                      23

     jurisdiction or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or
     registration relating to the Airframe, any Serviced Engine or any Part
     issued by any such Governmental Authority. In the event that any such
     Applicable Law requires alteration of the Airframe, any Serviced Engine, or
     any Part, Lessee will conform thereto or obtain conformance therewith at no
     expense to Lessor and will maintain the Airframe, such Serviced Engine or
     such Part in proper operating condition under such Applicable Laws;

          (iii)  maintain or cause to be maintained all records, logs and other
     materials required by the FAA or other applicable Governmental Authority to
     be maintained in respect of the In-Use Aircraft; and

          (iv)   promptly furnish to Lessor such information as may be required
     to enable Lessor to file any reports required to be filed by Lessor with
     any Governmental Authority because of Lessor's ownership of the Aircraft.

     (b)  Additional Maintenance Provisions.  Lessee covenants and agrees that
          ---------------------------------                                   
it shall use, operate, maintain, service, repair, overhaul and test or cause to
be used, operated, maintained, serviced, repaired, overhauled and tested, the
Airframe, each Serviced Engine and any Part in at least as good manner and with
at least as much care as used by Lessee with respect to other airframes, engines
and parts of the same type or utility owned, leased or operated by Lessee and
that it will not discriminate against the Airframe, any Serviced Engine or any
Part (as compared to other airframes, engines or parts of the same type or

any Part.

     (c)  Territorial Restrictions on Use of Aircraft.  Lessee agrees not to
          -------------------------------------------                       
operate or locate any Item of Equipment, or suffer such Item to be operated, (A)
unless such Item is covered by insurance as required by the provisions of
Section 9, (B) contrary to the terms of the insurance required by the provisions
of Section 9 of this Lease or section 11 of the Head Lease, (C) in any war zone
or recognized or threatened area of hostilities unless covered to Lessor's

time the subject of a prohibition order of any Governmental Authority of the
United States or of any international authority or treaty organization of which
the United States is a member, (E) to or from any airport that the aircraft
leased by Lessee from Lessor pursuant to the Long-Term Lease are not operated to
or from or (F) contrary to the terms of the Head Lease.

     (d)  Obligations Absolute.  Nothing herein, including Exhibit E hereto,
          --------------------                                              
shall be deemed to affect Lessee's obligations pursuant to this Section 7 or to
impose on Lessor the obligation to pay for or be responsible for the payment of
any maintenance, repair or overhaul. It is understood 

                                      24
<PAGE>
 
and agreed that Lessee shall be responsible for all of its obligations under
this Section 7 hereof, regardless of the performance or non-performance by
Lessor of its obligations described in Exhibit E hereto; provided that nothing
                                                         --------             
contained in this Lease shall prohibit Lessee from maintaining a separate action
against Lessor for any default by Lessor of its obligations described on Exhibit
E attached hereto. So long as Lessor is required to maintain the Aircraft
pursuant to Exhibit E hereto, the maintenance requirements of this Section 7
shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent such maintenance has been
provided by Lessor pursuant to Exhibit E hereto.

     (e)  Possession.  Except for the delivery of the Airframe or any Serviced
          ----------

Engines pursuant to the Pooling Agreement, Lessee shall not sublease or
otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or relinquish possession of the
Airframe, and shall not, without the prior written consent of Lessor,  sublease
or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or relinquish possession of any
Serviced Engine or install any Serviced Engine, or permit any Serviced Engine to
be installed, on any airframe other than the Airframe.

     (f)  Registration and Insignia.  Lessee shall maintain in the cockpit of
          -------------------------

nameplate bearing the Head Lease Lessor's name, as owner and lessor. Lessee
shall affix as promptly as practicable after the Delivery Date and thereafter to
maintain on each Engine a metal nameplate bearing the inscription "AMERICAN
AIRLINES, INC., OWNER AND LESSOR". Lessee may place its customary colors and
insignia on the Airframe or Engines so long as no polished portion of the In-Use
Aircraft is painted. The placement of and colors or insignia on the In-Use
Aircraft shall be performed by Lessor. Provided that Lessor shall (i) remain a
citizen of the United States of America as defined in Section 40102(a)(15)
(former 101(16)) of the Act and (ii) cooperate with the Lessee, Lessee shall
maintain continued registration of the Airframe in Head Lease Lessor's name
under the Act. Except as set forth in Section 7(h) below, no additional
modifications may be made to the Aircraft or any Serviced Engines without the
prior written consent of Lessor.

     (g)  Replacement of Parts.  Subject to the provisions of Exhibit E hereof,
          --------------------                                                 
Lessee at its own cost and expense, shall promptly replace (or cause to be
replaced) all Parts which may from time to time be incorporated or installed in
or attached to the Airframe or any Serviced Engine and which may from time to
time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged
beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever,
except as otherwise provided in Section 8. In addition, Lessee may, at its own
cost and expense, remove or cause to be removed in the ordinary course of
maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Parts, whether or not
worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damages beyond repair or
permanently rendered unfit for use; provided that Lessee, except as otherwise 
                                    --------     
provided in Section 8, will, at its own cost and expense, replace such Parts as
promptly as possible. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens
(except for Permitted Liens), and shall be in as good operating condition as,
and shall have a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced,
assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be
maintained by the terms hereof. All Parts at any time removed from the Airframe
or any Serviced Engine shall remain the property of Lessor (or Head Lease
Lessor, as the case may be), no matter where 

                                      25
<PAGE>
 
located. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Serviced Engine as above
provided, without further act, (i) title to the replacement Part shall thereupon
vest in Lessor free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Liens); and
(iii) such replacement Part shall become subject to this Lease and be deemed
part of the Airframe or such Serviced Engine for all purposes to the same extent
as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe
or such Serviced Engine. Any Parts replaced or supplied by Lessor pursuant to
Exhibit E attached hereto shall be deemed to satisfy the conditions of this
Section.

     (h)  Alterations, Modifications and Additions.  Subject to the provisions
          ----------------------------------------                            
of Section 7(a) hereof, and, in addition, so long as Lessor is maintaining the
Aircraft pursuant to Exhibit E attached hereto, in compliance with Exhibit E
attached hereto, Lessee, at its own expense, will make (or cause to be made)
such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe and the
Serviced Engines as may be required from time to time to meet the standards of
the FAA or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction. In addition and
subject to the terms of Exhibit E hereto, Lessee, at its own expense, may from
time to time make (or cause to be made) such alterations and modifications in
and additions to the Airframe or any Serviced Engine as Lessee may deem
desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including, without limitation,
removal of Parts which Lessee deems obsolete or no longer suitable or
appropriate for use in the Airframe or any Serviced Engine, provided that (i) no
                                                            --------            
such alteration, modification, addition or removal shall diminish the fair
market value, utility or remaining useful life of the Airframe or such Serviced
Engine, or impair the condition or airworthiness thereof below the value,
utility, condition and airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such
alteration, modification, addition or removal assuming the Airframe or such
Serviced Engine was then of the value and utility and in the condition and
airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease; and (ii) no
structural modification shall be made without the prior written consent of
Lessor. Title to all Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to
the Airframe or any Serviced Engine as the result of such alteration,
modification or addition shall, without further act, vest in Lessor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence of this Section 7(h), so long as no
Default or Lessee Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee
may, at any time during the Term, remove any Part, provided that (i) such Part
                                                   --------                   
is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, (x) any Part
originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any
Serviced Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder, or (y) any Part in
replacement of or substitution for any such Part, (ii) such Part is not required
to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any
Serviced Engine pursuant to the terms of this Section 7(h), and (iii) such Part
can be removed from the Airframe or such Serviced Engine without causing
material damage to the Airframe or such Serviced Engine and without diminishing
or impairing the value, utility, condition or airworthiness required to be
maintained by the terms of this Lease which the Airframe or such Serviced Engine
would have had at such time had such alteration, modification or addition not
occurred. Upon the removal by Lessee of any Part as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, title thereto shall, without further act, vest in Lessee and
such Part shall no longer be deemed part of the Airframe or such Serviced Engine
from which it was removed. Any Part not removed by Lessee as provided in such
sentence prior to the return of the Airframe or such Serviced Engine to Lessor
hereunder shall remain the property of Lessor.

          the replacement date;

               (ii) Lessee will promptly (all writings referred to below to be
          reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lessor):

                    (a)  furnish Lessor a bill of sale duly conveying to Lessor
               such replacement Serviced Engine, together with such evidence of
               title as Lessor may reasonably request;

                    (d)  furnish Lessor with a certificate or certification of a
               qualified aircraft engineer reasonably satisfactory to Lessor
               certifying that such replacement Serviced Engine has a value,
               utility and remaining useful life at least equal to the Serviced
               Engine so replaced (assuming such Serviced Engine was in the
               condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately
               prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss), provided that in
                                                               --------        
               addition to such certificate or certification, Lessor shall have
               the right to inspect such replacement Serviced Engine and shall
               be reasonably satisfied that it has a value, utility and
               remaining useful life at least equal to the Serviced Engine so
               replaced (assuming such Serviced Engine was in the condition and
               repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the
               occurrence of such Event of Loss); and

                    (e)  On or before such replacement date, Lessee shall (i)
               furnish Lessor with an opinion of independent counsel reasonably

               to pay to Lessor as an indemnity such amount or amounts as may be
               necessary to hold harmless, on an after-tax basis, Lessor against
               any and all adverse tax consequences as may result from such
               replacement and shall have provided to Lessor satisfactory
               assurances regarding Lessee's ability to pay such indemnity; and

                                      29
<PAGE>
 
                    (f)  take such other actions and furnish such other
               certificates and documents as Lessor may reasonably request in
               order that such replacement Serviced Engine be duly and properly
               titled in Lessor and leased hereunder to the same extent as the
               Serviced Engine replaced thereby.

          (3)  Event of Loss to an Engine, Not a Serviced Engine.  Upon the
               -------------------------------------------------           
     occurrence of an Event of Loss to an Engine which is not a Serviced Engine,
     Lessor shall give Lessee prompt written notice thereof and shall within
     sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, lease hereunder
     to Lessee a Replacement Engine with respect to such Engine to which such
     Event of Loss occurred, free and clear of Liens (other than Permitted
     Liens). Lessor shall furnish Lessee with a certificate or certification of
     a qualified aircraft engineer reasonably satisfactory to Lessee certifying
     that such Replacement Engine has a value, utility and remaining useful life
     at least equal to the Engine so replaced, provided that in addition to such
                                               --------                         
     certificate or certification, Lessee shall have the right to inspect such
     Replacement Engine and shall be reasonably satisfied that it has a value,
     utility and remaining useful life at least equal to the Engine so replaced
     (assuming such Engine was in the condition and repair required by the terms
     hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss).

          (4)  Conditions, Lessor's Obligations.  Lessor's obligation to replace
               --------------------------------                                 
     contemplated by Section 8(b)(3) shall be subject to the fulfillment of the
     conditions precedent that Lessee and Lessor will promptly:

               (i)  cause a Lease Supplement, subjecting such Replacement Engine
          to this Lease, duly executed by Lessee and Lessor, to be delivered to
          Lessor for execution and, upon such execution, to be duly filed for
          recordation with the FAA; and

               (ii) take such other actions and furnish such other certificates
          and documents as Lessor may reasonably request in order that such
          Replacement Engine be duly and properly titled in Lessor and leased
          hereunder to the same extent as the Engine replaced thereby;

     provided, that Lessor shall have no obligation to deliver possession of a
     --------                                                                 
     Replacement Engine to Lessee so long as a Default or Lessee Event of
     Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder.

          (5)  Recordation and Opinions.  Promptly after the recordation of the
               ------------------------                                        
     Lease Supplement covering any such Replacement Engine pursuant to the
     Federal Aviation Act (or in case the Aircraft was at the time of the Event
     of Loss subject to registration under the laws of a country other than the
     United States, pursuant to the laws of such country), Lessee shall cause to
     be delivered to Lessor an 

                                      30
<PAGE>
 
     opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor as to the due
     recordation of such Lease Supplement pursuant to the Act (or such other
     laws).

          (6)  Conveyance; Replacement Engine.  Upon compliance by Lessee with
               ------------------------------                                 
     the terms of this Section 8(b), Lessor will (subject to the rights of any
     insurer) transfer (other than in the case of the replacement of an Engine
     which was not upon the occurrence of the Event of Loss, a Serviced Engine)
     to Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and interest as of the delivery date
     of such replacement Serviced Engine in the replaced Serviced Engine, "as-
     is, where-is", free and clear of Lessor's Liens but otherwise without
     recourse or warranty, express, implied or otherwise.

          (7)  No Reduction of Basic Rent.  No Event of Loss with respect to a
               --------------------------                                     
     Serviced Engine or an Engine under the circumstance contemplated by this
     Section 8(b) shall result in any reduction of Basic Rent. Upon the payment
     by Lessee to Lessor of the Stipulated Loss Value of any Serviced Engine,
     Lessor, shall provide Lessee with a replacement Serviced Engine.

          (8)  If Lessor furnishes the replacement Serviced Engine, then the
     conditions set forth in Sections 8(b)(2)(ii)(a) and (d) shall be deemed to
     be fulfilled.

     (c)  Application of Payments for Requisition of Title.  Any payments (other
          ------------------------------------------------               
than insurance proceeds the application of which is provided for in Section 9)
received at any time by Lessor, Lessee or from any Governmental Authority or
other Person with respect to any Event of Loss, other than a requisition for use
by the Government not constituting an Event of Loss, will be applied as follows:

          (1)  Replacement of Serviced Engine.  If such payments are received as
               ------------------------------                
     a result of an Event of Loss to a Serviced Engine under circumstances
     contemplated by Section 8(b), and the Serviced Engine is replaced, so much
     of such payments remaining after reimbursement of Lessor for reasonable
     costs and expenses, if any, theretofore incurred by Lessor related to such
     replacement shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee, provided that
     Lessee shall have fully performed, or concurrently therewith will perform,
     the terms of Section 8(b) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such
     payments are made.

          (2)  Loss of Airframe.  If such payments are received as a result of 
               ----------------                                        
     an Event of Loss to the Airframe or the Airframe or Serviced Engines then
     installed thereon, so much of such payments as shall not exceed the amounts
     payable pursuant to 8(a)(1) shall be applied to pay such amounts (or
     reimburse Lessee for its payment of such amounts), and the balance, if any,
     of such payment remaining thereafter shall, first, to the extent of the
     value of Lessee's interest in such payment, be paid over to Lessee, and,
     second, the remainder, if any, shall be retained by Lessor. For purposes of
     this clause (2), the value of Lessee's interest in 

                                      31
<PAGE>
 
     a payment shall be the amount of the Basic Rent due in regard to the
     leasing of the Aircraft for the remainder of the applicable Term.

     (d)  Requisition of Use of the Airframe.  In the event of the requisition 
          ----------------------------------                      
for use of the Airframe or any Serviced Engines installed on the Airframe during
the Term not constituting an Event of Loss including without limitation,
pursuant to CRAF, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of such requisition and
all of Lessee's obligations under this Lease shall continue to the same extent
as if such requisition had not occurred, except to the extent that any failure
or delay in Lessee's performance or observance of such obligations (other than
obligations for the payment of Rent) is caused by such requisition. Unless
Lessor elects to treat such requisition as an Event of Loss, Lessee shall be
obligated to return the Airframe and such Serviced Engines to Lessor pursuant
to, and in all other respects in compliance with the provisions of, Section 5
promptly at the later of the end of the Term or, if Lessor consents, the date of
such return by any such Governmental Authority. All payments received by Lessor
or Lessee from any Governmental Authority for the use of the Airframe and
Serviced Engines during the Term (so long as no Lessee Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing) shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee;
and all payments received by Lessor or Lessee from the Government for the use of
the Airframe and such Serviced Engines after the Term (or so long as a default
or a Lessee Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) shall be
paid over to, or retained by, Lessor, unless such requisition for use by any
Governmental Authority is treated as an Event of Loss in which case all such
payments shall be applied in accordance with Section 8(c)(2).

     (e)  Investment of Proceeds Pending Replacement.  If an Event of Loss
          ------------------------------------------                      
shall occur with respect to a Serviced Engine and the provisions of Section 8(b)
apply, or  Lessor receives any insurance proceeds pending completion of repairs
by Lessee to the Airframe or a Serviced Engine, Lessor shall, if requested by
Lessee and if no Lessee Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
use its reasonable efforts to invest, at the request, direction and risk of
Lessee, any payments received theretofore or thereafter with respect to the
Airframe or such Serviced Engine from any insurer under insurance required to be
maintained hereunder or from Lessee or from any Governmental Authority or other
person with respect to the applicable Event of Loss or otherwise. Any such
investments shall be in obligations of the United States or obligations
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the Government or certificates of
deposit issued in the United States by a commercial bank or banks each having a
combined capital, surplus, and undivided profits of at least $250,000,000, in
each case having a stated maturity not later than one year from the date of the
acquisition thereof by Lessor. Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand the amount of
any loss incurred in connection with any such investment. All profits and losses
on such investments and any taxes in respect thereof shall be for the account of
Lessee. In order to make the payments to Lessee provided for in Section 8 or 9
hereof, Lessor is authorized to sell any obligations purchased as aforesaid; and
Lessor shall not be required to make such payments to Lessee until Lessor shall
have had a reasonable time to sell such obligations and to obtain the sale
proceeds therefrom.

     (f)  Application of Payments During Default.  Any amount for requisition 
          --------------------------------------                 
of title or requisition of use of any Item of Equipment referred to in this
Section 8 which is payable to or retainable by Lessee shall not be paid to or
retained by Lessee if at the time of such payment or 

                                      32
<PAGE>
 
retention a Default or a Lessee Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, but shall be held by or paid to Lessor and applied against the
obligations of Lessee under this Lease, and at such time as there shall not be
continuing any such Default or Lessee Event of Default, such amount shall be
paid to Lessee to the extent not previously applied in accordance with this
sentence.

     Section 9.     Insurance.
                    --------- 

     (a)  Liability Insurance.  During the Lease Term and during the next three
          -------------------                                            
years thereafter, Lessee shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) at no
expense to Head Lease Lessor or Lessor the following insurance, on a worldwide
basis with no territorial restrictions, except as may be specifically consented
to from time to time by Lessor and Head Lease Lessor, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, with insurers of recognized responsibility approved by
Lessor through nationally recognized aviation insurance brokers: comprehensive
aviation liability insurance (including third party legal liability, public
liability, passenger legal liability, personal injury liability, passenger's
baggage and personal effects (checked and unchecked) liability, cargo legal
liability, mail legal liability, premises liability, products/completed
operations, hangarkeepers (ground and in-flight) liability and war risks
liability (Lloyd's of London Clause AV.52 or its equivalent), insurance of the
indemnification obligations set forth in Section 15 hereof, and property damage
liability insurance with respect to the In-Use Aircraft in an amount not less
than that carried by Lessee on similar equipment owned or leased by Lessee,
provided that such liability insurance shall in no event be less than
- --------                                                             
$850,000,000 for any one accident, or series of accidents arising out of any one
event. Lessee shall not self-insure with respect to any public liability
coverage with the exception of baggage, cargo and mail liabilities. Any policies
of insurance carried in accordance with this Section 9(a) and any policies taken
out in substitution or replacement for any of such policies shall: (1) name Head
Lease Lessor and Lessor and their respective Affiliates and directors, officers,
employees, servants and agents as an additional insured (each such Person an
"Additional Insured"), as their respective interests may appear; (2) provide 
 ------------------                                     
that in respect of the interest of each Additional Insured in such policies, the
insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessee or any
other insured or any person having temporary possession of the Aircraft while
under the contract with Lessee to perform maintenance, repair, alteration or
similar work on the Aircraft, and shall insure each Additional Insured
regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition
contained in such policies by Lessee; (3) provide that if the insurers cancel
such insurance for any reason whatever, or if there is any substantial change in
policy terms and conditions or coverage, such cancellation, lapse or change
shall not be effective as to any Additional Insured until thirty days (seven
days, or such other period as may from time to time be customarily obtainable in
the industry, in the case of war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt
by such Additional Insured of written notice from such insurers of such
cancellation, lapse or change, and shall permit Lessor and Head Lease Lessor, at
either's option, to make payments to effect the continuation of such insurance
coverage upon notice of cancellation due to nonpayment of premium; and (4)
provide that no Additional Insured shall have any obligation or liability for
premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance.
Each liability policy shall (i) be primary without right of contribution from
any other insurance which is carried by any Additional Insured, (ii) expressly
provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of 

                                      33

liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy
covering any Additional Insured, and (iii) waive any right of the insurers to
any subrogation, set-off or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by
attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of any Additional Insured
or Lessee to the extent of any moneys due to such Additional Insureds. In the
case of the requisition for use of the In-Use Aircraft or any Serviced Engine by
the Government, a valid agreement by the Government to indemnify Lessee in a
manner satisfactory to Lessor and Head Lease Lessor against any of the risks
which Lessee is required hereunder to insure against in an amount at least equal
to the amount of insurance required to be maintained for the Aircraft under this
Section 9 from time to time shall, to the extent such indemnity from the
Government complies with the requirements set forth in Section 7(g) hereof, be
considered adequate insurance to the extent of the risks and in the amounts that
are the subject of any such agreement to indemnify.

     (b)  All Risk Hull Insurance.  During the relevant Terms, Lessee shall
          -----------------------                                          
maintain (or cause to be maintained) at no expense to Head Lease Lessor or
Lessor the following insurance, on a worldwide basis with no territorial
restrictions with insurers of recognized responsibility (A) all-risks (ground,
taxing, flight and ingestion) hull insurance covering the In-Use Aircraft; and
(B) all risks (including transit) Aviation Spare Parts (including Engine and
Equipment) Insurance and (C) at all times that any In-Use Aircraft or any
Serviced Engine is not covered by the insurance described in Section 9(c),
coverage against the perils of (i) strikes, riots, civil commotions or labor
disturbances, (ii) any vandalism, malicious act or act of sabotage, and (iii)
hijacking, or any unlawful seizure or wrongful exercise of control of the In-Use
Aircraft or crew in flight made by any person or persons on board the In-Use
Aircraft without the consent of the insured other than hijacking committed by
persons engaged in a program of irregular warfare for terrorist purposes, in
each case to the extent insured by the standard "buy-back" provisions to the
Airline War Exclusion Clause (AV48B) or its equivalent. Such insurance shall be
for an Agreed Value basis which shall be in an amount not less than the
Stipulated Loss Value. Lessee may self-insure only with the prior written
consent of Head Lease Lessor and Lessor, and in the event such consent is
granted, only by way of standard market deductibles, the risks required to be
insured against pursuant to the preceding two sentences in such amounts as are
acceptable to Lessor and Head Lease Lessor in their sole discretion. Any
policies carried in accordance with this Section 9(b) covering the In-Use
Aircraft and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such
policies shall (1) name Head Lease Lessor and Lessor as loss payees as their
interests may appear; (2) provide that the entire amount of any loss shall be
paid to Head Lease Lessor or its order; (3) provide that if such insurance is
canceled for any reason whatsoever, or any substantial change is made in policy
terms, conditions or coverage, or the same is allowed to lapse for non-payment
of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to Head
Lease Lessor or Lessor until thirty days (seven days or such other period as may
from time to time be customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of war
risk and allied perils coverage), after receipt by Head Lease Lessor or Lessor,
respectively, of written notice from such insurers of such cancellation or lapse
or change in policy terms, conditions or coverage, and shall permit Lessor and
Head Lease Lessor, at their option, to make payments to effect the continuation
of such insurance coverage upon notice of cancellation due to nonpayment of
premium; (4) provide that losses shall be adjusted with Lessor and Head Lease
Lessor, as appropriate; (5) provide that in respect of Head Lease Lessor and
Lessor, such insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of

                                      34
<PAGE>
 
Lessee or any other insured and shall insure such parties regardless of any
breach contained in such policies by Lessee or any other insured; (6) be primary
without right of contribution from any other insurance which is carried by Head
Lease Lessor or Lessor with respect to its interest in the In-Use Aircraft; (7)
waive any right of subrogation of the insurers against Head Lease Lessor or
Lessor; (8) waive any right of the insurers to set-off or counterclaim or any
other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability
of Head Lease Lessor, Lessor or Lessee to the extent of any moneys due to Head
Lease Lessor or Lessor, as the case may be; and (9) provide that neither Head
Lease Lessor nor Lessor shall have any obligation or liability for premiums,
commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance. If the
insurance required to be carried pursuant to Sections 9(b) and 9(c) is effected
under separate policies, the insurers shall agree that if a disagreement arises
as to whether a claim is covered by the all-risk insurance or the war-risk
insurance, the insurers will settle such claims on the basis of a 50-50 claim
funding arrangement. In the case of the requisition for use of the In-Use
Aircraft or any Serviced Engine by the Government, a valid agreement by the
Government, satisfactory to Head Lease Lessor and Lessor, to indemnify Lessee
against any of the risks which Lessee is required hereunder to insure against in
an amount at least equal to the amount of insurance required to be maintained
for the In-Use Aircraft under this Section 9 from time to time shall, to the
extent such indemnity from the Government complies with the requirements set
forth in Section 7(g) hereof, be considered adequate insurance to the extent of
the risks and in the amounts that are the subject of any such agreement to
indemnify.

     (c)  War-Risk Insurance.  During the Lease Term, Lessee shall maintain
          ------------------

War-Risk and Allied Perils Aviation Hull (including Spare Parts, Engines and
Equipment) Insurance on an Agreed Value basis, which shall be not less than the
Stipulated Loss Value. Such policy shall (i) insure against those perils

Section 9(b).

     (d)  Application of Proceeds.  Provided no Lessee Event of Default shall 
          -----------------------                                      
have occurred and be continuing, all insurance payments received under policies
required to be maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 9 as the result of the
occurrence of an Event of Loss shall be applied in accordance with Section
8(c)(1) or Section 8(c)(2). Insurance payments relating to any property damage
or loss to the In-Use Aircraft or any Serviced Engine not constituting an Event
of Loss with respect thereto will be applied in payment for repairs or for
replacement property in accordance with the terms of Section 8(c) hereof, if not
already paid for by Lessee, and any balance remaining after compliance with such
Sections with respect to such loss shall be paid to Lessee. Any amount
representing proceeds of insurance required to be maintained by Lessee 

                                      35
<PAGE>
 
hereunder which is payable to or retainable by Lessee shall not be paid to or 
retained by Lessee if at the time of such payment a Default or a Lessee Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be held by or paid to 
Lessor as security for the obligations of Lessee under this Lease and such 
amount (to the extend not previously applied against such obligations) shall be 
paid to Lessee at such time s there no longer exists any Default or Lessee Event
of Default.

     (e)  Reports. Etc. On or before the Delivery Date (except, with respect to 
          -------------
the insurance required by Section 9(j), prior to the date hereof), and no less 
than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of any insurance required 
pursuant to this Section 9, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor and Head Lease Lessor
(i) appropriate certification by each insurer or its authorized signatories and 
(ii) a report signed by a firm of independent insurance brokers, then retained 
by Lessee, attaching certificates evidencing the insurance and reinsurance then 
carried and maintained with respect to the In-Use Aircraft and Allocated Parts 
and stating that in the opinion of such firm the insurance then carried and 
maintained with respect to the In-Use Aircraft and Serviced Engines or Parts 
complies with the terms hereof. Lessee will cause such firm to advise Lessor and
Head Lease Lessor in writing promptly of any material default in the payment of 
any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of Lessee of which they
have knowledge which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in 
part, any insurance on the In-Use Aircraft or any Serviced Engine or Parts. 
Lessee also shall cause such firm to advise Head Lease Lessor and Lessor in 
writing at least thirty (30) days (seven (7) days, or such other period as may 
from time to time be customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of war 
risk and allied perils coverage), prior to he expiration termination of any 
insurance policy carried or maintained with respect to the In-Use Aircraft or 
any Serviced Engine any Parts pursuant to this Section 9.

     (f)  Additional Insurance. Lessee at its option and at its sole cost and 
          --------------------
expense may obtain insurance with respect to its interest in the In-Use 
Aircraft, provided that such insurance does not prevent Lessee from obtaining 
          --------
the insurance required by this Section 9; and provided, further, that such 
                                              --------  -------
additional insurance does not prevent Head Lease Lessor or Lessor, as the case 
may be, from obtaining insurance for its own account with respect to the In-Use 
Aircraft in excess of Stipulated Loss Value. No such insurance shall be subject 
to this Section 9. Head Lease Lessor and Lessor may each carry for its own 
account at its sole cost and expense insurance with respect to its interest 
in the In-Use Aircraft but in no event shall such insurance prevent Lessee from 
carrying insurance required by this Section 9 or adversely affect the cost 
thereof.

     (g)  Notice from Lessee; No Modification. Lessee shall forthwith notify 
          -----------------------------------
Head Lease Lessor and Lessor of any event which may give rise to a claim under 
the insurance required pursuant to this Section 9.

     (h)  Reinsurance. In the event of any reinsurance of the risks set forth in
          -----------
Section 9(b) the following clause shall be incorporated into such reinsurance 
policies:

     bankruptcy, dissolution of or similar proceedings affecting Insurers in

     claim will be paid to

                                      36
<PAGE>
 
     the person or persons named as loss payee under the primary insurance and
     that Reinsurers shall in lieu of payment to the Insured, its successors in
     interest and assigns, pay to the person named as loss payee under the
     primary insurance that portion of any loss due for which the reinsurers
     would otherwise be liable to pay the Insurers (subject to proof of loss),
     it being understood and agreed that any such payment by the Reinsurers
     shall (to the extent of such payment) fully discharge and release the
     Reinsurers from any and all further liability in connection therewith,
     subject to such clause not contravening any law of the government of
     registration."

     (i)  Insurance of Lessor. Lessor agrees to maintain throughout the Lease 
          -------------------
Term Hangarkeeper's Legal Liability Insurance that, in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the policy, covers the Serviced Aircraft during periods in

written consent of Lessor, Lessee may self-insure, only by way of deductibles, 
the risks required to be insured against pursuant to the preceding two sentences
in such amounts as are acceptable to Lessor in its sole discretion. Any policies
carried in accordance with this Section 9(j) covering the Allocated Parts and 
any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies 
shall (1) name Lessor as sole loss payee; (2) provide that the entire amount of 
any loss be paid to Lessor or its order; (3) provide that if such insurance is 
canceled for any reason whatsoever, or any substantial adverse change is made in
policy terms, conditions or coverage, or the same is allowed to lapse for 
non-payment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be 
effective as to Lessor until thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of written
notice from such insurers of such cancellation or lapse or change in policy 
terms, conditions or coverage; (4) provide that losses shall be adjusted with 
Lessor; (5) provide that in respect of Lessor such insurance shall not be
invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessee or any other insured and shall
insure such parties regardless of any breach contained in such policies by

against Lessor; (7) waive any right of the insurers to set-off or counterclaim

insurance coverage with respect to loss or damage to all or any portion of the
Allocated Parts.

     (k)  Compliance with Head Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary 
          --------------------------
contained in this Section 9, Lessee agrees that it will additionally comply with
and abide by all of the covenants and other obligations of Lessor, as lessee in 
Section 11 of the Head Lease; provided, in

<PAGE>

amounts and coverages required by Section 11 of the Head Lease or such lesser
amounts as may be consented to by Head Lease Lessor.

     (a)  Inspection.  During the Lease Term, Lessee shall furnish to Head

Lease Lessor and Lessor such information concerning the location, condition, use
and operation of the In-Use Aircraft as such party may reasonably request.
Lessee shall permit any person designated in writing by Head Lease Lessor or
Lessor, at such designating party's expense, to visit and inspect (at any
reasonable time, provided that such inspection shall not unreasonably interfere
in any material respect with Lessee's business operations or operation or
maintenance of the In-Use Aircraft) the In-Use Aircraft and the records
maintained in connection therewith and, at such designating party's expense, to
make copies of such records as such party may reasonably designate. Neither Head
Lease Lessor nor Lessor shall have any duty to make any such inspection and
shall not incur any liability or obligation by reason of making or not making
any such inspection. Any such inspection of the In-Use Aircraft shall be a
visual, walk-around inspection which may include going on board the In-Use
Aircraft and shall not include opening any panels, bays, or the like, provided,
                                                                      --------

may be,  shall be entitled to be present during any maintenance check of the In-
Use Aircraft at which any panels, bays or the like may be opened and shall have

the six-month period following such request.

     (b)  Financial Information.  Lessee also agrees to furnish to Lessor

     the occurrence of a Default or Lessee Event of Default, a certificate of

     Financial and Operating Statistics for Large Certified Air Carriers (U.S.
     Department of Transportation Form 41 Schedule A); and

     after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters, an unaudited
     balance sheet of the Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries, as of the
     end of such quarter and related unaudited statements of income and retained
     earnings of the Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries, setting forth in

     end of each fiscal year of Lessee, a financial report for the Lessee for
     such year, including therein a balance sheet of Lessee as of the end of
     such fiscal year and related statements of income and retained earnings and
     changes in financial position of the Lessee for such fiscal year, setting

     preceding fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and as certified by the
     Lessee's public accountants, including their certificate and accompanying

          ---------------- 

          (1)  Lessee shall take whatever action may be necessary to maintain
     the Letter of Credit (whether in the form of a letter of credit or a
     deposit) in full force and effect, which shall secure Lessee's obligations
     hereunder and under the Long-Term Agreements and the Ancillary Agreements.

          (2)  In the event any issuer of any letter of credit constituting all
     or a portion of the Letter of Credit fails to renew such letter of credit
     at least thirty (30) days prior to the then effective expiry date thereof,
     then Lessor may draw, or may cause such letter of credit to be drawn. The
     proceeds of such draws made under the letters of credit will be deposited
     with Lessor and/or one of its Affiliates as set forth in Section 10(c)(4)
     below.

                                      39
<PAGE>
 
          (3)  In the event Lessor withdraws or causes to be withdrawn any
     amount from the deposit constituting all or a portion of the Letter of
     Credit (the "Deposit"), Lessor shall promptly thereafter deliver a
     certificate (the "Withdrawal Certificate") to Lessee certifying the date
     and amount of the withdrawal and that Lessor was entitled to make such
     withdrawal. Lessee shall on or before the fifth Business Day following
     receipt of such Withdrawal Certificate, provide Lessor with all or one of
     the following in the amount of such withdrawal (the "Replacement Letter of
     Credit) from the Deposit: (i) a letter of credit, complying with the
     definition of Letter of Credit set forth herein; or (ii) immediately
     available funds to be maintained as a Deposit as set forth herein.

          (4)  In the event Lessee elects at any time to maintain all or any
     portion of the Letter of Credit as a Deposit or any amount drawn under any
     Letter of Credit pursuant to 10(c)(2) above is to be held as a Deposit,
     then Lessor or one of its Affiliates shall hold such money in an account in
     Lessor's or one of its Affiliates' names at a financial institution(s)
     selected by Lessor or one of its Affiliates. Lessee hereby agrees with
     respect to any Deposit which forms a part of the Letter of Credit
     (including the Deposit previously made pursuant to the Interim Definitive
     Agreements which shall now be deemed a Deposit hereunder), that: (i) Lessor
     and its Affiliates shall have the right of recoupment against such Deposit
     and the proceeds thereof with respect to any amount payable by Lessee to
     Lessor or its Affiliates pursuant to this Lease or the Long-Term Agreements
     and the Ancillary Agreements; and (ii) Lessor and its Affiliates shall have
     a valid security interest in such Deposit and the proceeds thereof to
     secure its obligations, indebtedness and liabilities hereunder, under the
     Long-Term Agreements and the Ancillary Agreements; (iii) the Deposit will
     be held in the name of Lessor or an Affiliate, may be commingled with other
     funds of Lessor and its Affiliates and may be invested or held uninvested
     at the sole discretion of Lessor and its Affiliates; and (iv) that Lessor
     is holding such money as a Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Lease
     Agreement and the Long-Term Agreements and the Ancillary Agreements. Lessee
     shall execute or deliver any other document or instrument or take any other
     action necessary to effectuate the foregoing, and shall take any action
     reasonably requested by Lessor to perfect Lessor's security interest in the
     Deposit.

          (5)  Lessee shall have the right at any time and from time to time to
     replace any portion of the Letter of Credit consisting of a Deposit with a
     letter of credit or a letter of credit with a Deposit, provided such
     substitute Deposit meets the requirements of Section 10(c)(4) or the
     substitute letter of credit meets the requirements of a Letter of Credit
     and the aggregate amount of all such Deposits and letters of credit is
     $2,000,000. In the case of substitution of a Deposit for a letter of
     credit, Lessor shall simultaneously with the delivery of the Deposit and
     execution and delivery of an agreement as required by Section 10(c)(4),
     deliver to Lessee the original letter of credit for which the substitution
     is being made.

          (6)  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10(c)(4) above, in the
     event the rating (the "Rating") assigned by Standard & Poor's Corporation
     to publicly traded, long-term debt securities issued by Lessor becomes CCC+
     or lower, then upon receipt of

                                      40
<PAGE>
 
     written request from Lessee, Lessor shall cause the Deposit to be
     maintained in a segregated account at a financial institution acceptable to
     Lessee, which Deposit shall otherwise continue to comply with, and be
     subject to the provisions of this Section 10(c). Lessor agrees to give
     Lessee prompt written notice of any such downgrading of its Rating.

          (7)  In the event Lessor draws upon any letter of credit or withdraws
     any Deposit (which constitutes all or a portion of the Letter of Credit),
     and Lessee in good faith, reasonably disputes such drawing or withdrawal,
     then Lessee must nevertheless continue to maintain the Letter of Credit in
     an amount not less than $2,000,000. However, Lessee may cause any
     Replacement Letter of Credit which constitutes a deposit ("Replacement
     Deposit") to be maintained in a segregated account at a financial
     institution acceptable to Lessee, in the names of Lessee and Lessor, which
     Deposit must otherwise comply with Sections 10(c)(4) hereof. Lessor may not
     make a withdrawal from such Replacement Deposit until the earlier to occur
     of the following: (1) resolution of the dispute concerning the earlier
     drawing of the Letter of Credit or withdrawal of the Deposit, or (2) a
     Lessee Event of Default under Section 13A(i) or (j). In the event and to
     the extent it is finally determined pursuant hereto or is otherwise agreed
     by Lessee and Lessor, that any drawing upon any Letter of Credit or any
     withdrawal from any Deposit (a "Withdrawal") was not authorized under this
     Lease Agreement or any Long-Term Agreement, then to the extent such
     withdrawal was not authorized, the applicable portion of the replacement
     Deposit shall be returned to Lessee and the remainder shall be delivered to
     Lessor in accordance with Section 10(c)(4) above.

          (8)  Upon payment and satisfaction in full of all of Lessee's
     obligations, indebtedness and liabilities under this Lease Agreement and
     the Long-Term Agreements and the Ancillary Agreements ("Final Payment"),
     Lessor shall or shall cause all Letters of Credit to be returned to Lessee.
     Upon the substitution of a Letter of Credit for a Deposit or a portion
     thereof, pursuant to Section 10(c)(5) above, or upon Final Payment, Lessee
     shall return any Deposit, or portion thereof, as applicable, to Lessee,
     together with interest on such Deposit or returned portion thereof, from

     Section 11.  Lessee's Covenants.
                  ------------------ 

     (a)  Merger. Lessee shall not consolidate with or merge into any other
          ------                                                           
corporation, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets
to any Person, unless (i) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into
which Lessee is merged or the Person who acquires by conveyance, transfer or
lease all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee (the "Successor"): (A)
remains entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code with
respect to this Lease; and (B) shall execute and deliver to Lessor an agreement
containing an assumption by such Successor of the due and punctual performance
and observance of each 

                                      41
<PAGE>
 
covenant and condition of this Lease Agreement to be performed or observed by
Lessee; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or
Lessee Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder and
shall not violate the terms of the Head Lease, including, without limitation,
Section 7(b) of the Head Lease; (iii) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor, an
officer's certificate and an opinion of independent counsel, each stating that
such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and the assumption
agreement described in clause (i) above comply with this Section 11(a) and that
all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have
been complied with (except that such opinion need not cover the matters referred
to in clause (ii) above and may rely, as to factual matters, on an officer's
certificate of Lessee) and, in the case of such opinion, that such assumption
agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Successor,
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation and is enforceable against
such Successor in accordance with its terms, that Lessor shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits and protections set forth in Section 1110 of the
Bankruptcy Code, and any such actions shall not constitute an event of default
under the Head Lease as stated in an opinion of independent counsel; (iv) Lessor
shall retain all the benefits of the Letter of Credit; and (v) neither Head
Lease Lessor nor Lessor shall suffer any adverse tax consequences as a result of
such consolidation, merger or transfer which is not indemnified by Lessee in
accordance with the terms hereof or against which Head Lease Lessor and Lessor
are each otherwise indemnified in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Head Lease Lessor and Lessor.

     Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or lease of
all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee as an entirety in accordance
with this Section 11(a), the Successor shall succeed to, be substituted for, and
may exercise every right and power of, and shall assume every obligation and
liability of, Lessee under this Lease Agreement with the same effect as if the
Successor had been named as Lessee herein and therein. No such consolidation or
merger or conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the
assets of Lessee shall have the effect of releasing Lessee or any Successor
which shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this
Section 11(a) from its liability hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall
permit any lease, sublease or other arrangement for the use, operation or
possession of the In-Use Aircraft or Engines except in compliance with the
applicable provisions of this Lease.

     (b)  Certificated Air Carrier.   Lessee will continue to be a certificated

Federal Aviation Act.

                   -------------------------------------- 

     (a)  FAA Recordation.  Lessee shall cause this Lease, all Lease Supplements

terms hereof so far as permitted by Applicable Laws or regulations, to be duly

     hereunder;

          (h)  Lessor may rescind this Lease as to any or all Airframe and any

          (i)  Lessee shall be liable for any and all unpaid Rent and for all
     legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by reason of the
     occurrence of any Lessee Event of Default or the exercise of Lessor's

     referred to above or otherwise available to Head Lease Lessor or Lessor or
     its Affiliates at law or in equity, and the exercise by Lessor of any one

     Lease or any other agreement between Lessor or its Affiliates and Lessee.
     No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Lessee Event of Default shall

     Lessee Event of Default. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Lessee
     hereby waives any and all rights to notice and to a judicial hearing with
     respect to the repossession of any Item of Equipment by Lessor upon the
     occurrence of a Lessee Event of Default.

     any interest of such Tax Indemnified Party in the Aircraft, the Airframe,

     Lease in connection with or by reason of any Lessee Event of Default that
     has occurred and is continuing or any exercise by the Lessor of any of its

     required to be filed by such Tax Indemnified Party without regard to the
     transactions contemplated by this Lease, the payment of any taxes shown
     thereon or the conduct of any proceeding in respect thereof, except to the
     extent attributable to the failure of Lessee to perform its obligations or
     to otherwise perform its duties and responsibilities pursuant to this
     Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation to make payments
     hereunder;

     voluntary or, if resulting from bankruptcy, foreclosure (other than
     foreclosure resulting from a Lessee Event of Default) or similar
     proceedings in which such Tax Indemnified Party is the debtor, involuntary)

<PAGE>
 
     by or on behalf of such Tax Indemnified Party after a Lessee Event of
     Default has occurred and while it is continuing or any exercise by the
     Lessor of any of its remedies in connection with any such Lessee Event of

     Tax Indemnified Party or a related Tax Indemnified Party had not engaged in
     activities in the jurisdiction imposing such Tax which activities are
     unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the this Lease or the other
     Long Term Agreements, but only to the extent such Tax would not have been
     payable in the absence of such unrelated activities; or

          (xi)   any failure of a Tax Indemnified Party to comply with (I)
     certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar
     requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection
     with the jurisdiction imposing such Tax, if such compliance is required by
     statute or by regulation of the jurisdiction imposing such Tax as a
     precondition to relief or exemption from such Tax; or (II) any other
     certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar
     requirements under the Tax laws or regulations of the jurisdiction imposing
     such Tax that would establish entitlement to otherwise applicable relief or
     exemption from such Tax; provided, however, that the exclusion set forth in
     this subsection 16(a)(x) shall not apply if (v) such failure to comply was
     due to a failure of the Lessee to provide such Tax Indemnified Party with
     the information required to be supplied by the Lessee in order for such Tax
     Indemnified Party to comply with such requirement or due to a failure of
     the Lessee to notify such Tax Indemnified Party of such requirement and
     such Tax Indemnified Party was not otherwise aware of such requirement; or
     (w) such failure to comply was done upon the advice, concurrence and/or
     direction or with the knowledge of the Lessee.

     (c)  Calculation of General Tax Indemnity Payments.
          --------------------------------------------- 

          (i)    Lessee agrees that, with respect to any payment or indemnity to
     a Tax Indemnified Party under Section 16 hereof, the Lessee's indemnity
     obligations shall include the payment of an amount necessary to hold such
     Tax Indemnified Party harmless on an after-tax basis from all Taxes
     required to be paid by such Tax Indemnified Party with 

                                      55
<PAGE>
 
     respect to such payment or indemnity (including any payments made pursuant
     to this subsection 16(c) under the laws of any Taxing Authority.

          (ii)   If any Tax Indemnified Party shall realize a current tax
     benefit as a result of any Taxes paid or indemnified against by the Lessee
     under this Section 16 (except to the extent previously taken into account
     in computing the indemnity paid with respect to such Taxes), such Tax
     Indemnified Party shall, so long as no Lessee Event of Default shall have
     occurred and be continuing and no payment is due and owing by Lessee under
     this Lease or any Long-Term Agreement, pay to the Lessee an amount which,
     after subtraction of any further tax savings such Tax Indemnified Party
     realizes as a result of the payment thereof, is equal to the amount of such
     current tax benefit, but only after the Lessee shall have made all payments
     then due and owing to such Tax Indemnified Party pursuant to this Lease and
     the Long-Term Agreements; provided, that any subsequent loss of any tax
                               --------                                     
     benefit paid to the Lessee hereunder shall be treated as a Tax subject to
     indemnification in accordance with subsection 16(a) (without regard to any
     exclusions set forth in subsection 16(b) or the provisions of subsection
     16(g); and provided, further, that such Tax Indemnified Party shall not be
                --------  -------                                              
     obligated to make any payment pursuant to this subsection 16(c) to the
     extent that the amount of such payment would exceed (x) the amount of all
     prior payments by Lessee to such Tax Indemnified Party pursuant to this
     subsection 16(c), less (y) the amount of all prior payments by such Tax
     Indemnified Party to Lessee hereunder.  Each such Tax Indemnified Party
     shall in good faith use reasonable efforts in filing its tax returns and in
     dealing with taxing authorities to seek and claim any such tax benefit.

     (d)  Payment of General Tax Indemnity.  Unless otherwise requested by a Tax
          --------------------------------                                      
Indemnified Party, or unless the Tax is being contested in accordance with the
provisions of subsections 16(g) hereof, the Lessee shall pay when due any Tax
for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 16 directly to the appropriate
Taxing Authority, or, upon written demand, shall reimburse a Tax Indemnified
Party for the payment of any such Tax made by such Tax Indemnified Party. Within
30 days after the date of each payment by the Lessee of any Tax referred to in
the preceding sentence, the Lessee shall upon request furnish such Tax
Indemnified Party the original or a copy of the receipt for the Lessee's payment
of such Tax or such other evidence of payment of such Tax as is reasonably
acceptable to such Tax Indemnified Party. The Lessee shall also cause to be
furnished, promptly upon request, such data as such Tax Indemnified Party
reasonably may require that are within the reasonable control or possession of
Lessee and are not otherwise reasonably obtainable by such Tax Indemnified Party
to enable such Tax Indemnified Party to comply with the requirements of any
Taxing Authority in respect of any Tax referred to in subsection 16(a) hereof.

     (e)  Verification of Calculations.  At the request of Lessee, the accuracy
          ----------------------------                                         
of any calculation of the amount or amounts payable to a Taxing Authority or a
Tax Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 16 shall be verified by
independent public accountants selected by such Tax Indemnified Party and
reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, and such verification shall be binding on
both the Tax Indemnified Party and Lessee.  In order, and to the extent
necessary, to enable such independent accountants to verify such amounts, such
Tax Indemnified Party shall provide to 

                                      56
<PAGE>
 
such independent accountants (for their confidential use and not to be disclosed
to Lessee or any other person) all information reasonably necessary for such
verification. Such verification shall be at the expense of Lessee.

     (f)  Reports.  If any report, return or statement is required to be filed
          -------                                                             
with respect to any Tax which is subject to indemnification under this Section
16, the Lessee shall timely file the same, except for any such report, return or
statement which a Tax Indemnified Party has notified the Lessee that it intends
to file.  The Lessee shall either file such report, return or statement so as to
show the ownership of the Aircraft in the Lessor and send a copy of such report,
return or statement to such Tax Indemnified Party or, where the Lessee is not so
permitted to file in the name of such Tax Indemnified Party, shall notify such
Tax Indemnified Party of such requirements and cooperate reasonably with such
Tax Indemnified Party with respect thereto.

     (g)  General Tax Indemnity Contest Provisions.
          ---------------------------------------- 

          (i)    Notice. If a Tax Indemnified Party receives a written notice
                 ------                                                      
     regarding the imposition of a Tax, or if at the conclusion of any audit by
     any Taxing Authority there is a proposed adjustment regarding any Tax which
     if agreed to by such Tax Indemnified Party would result in the imposition
     of a Tax for which such Tax Indemnified Party would seek indemnification
     from the Lessee in an amount equal to or in excess of $25,000 pursuant to
     this Section 16, such Tax Indemnified Party shall within the lesser of:
     (A) 30 days after receipt of such written notice by a responsible officer
     of such Tax Indemnified Party or promptly after the conclusion of such
     audit; or (B) not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the
     statutory period to respond, so notify the Lessee in writing; provided,
     however, that the failure so to notify the Lessee shall not diminish the
     Lessee's obligations hereunder, except in the event that Lessee's rights to
     contest such tax shall have been precluded by such failure,  and after such
     contest, Lessor would not have been liable for such taxes and except for
     any interest or penalties related to any late or missed payment dates.

          (ii)   Contest Provisions. If requested by the Lessee in writing, a
                 ------------------
     Tax Indemnified Party shall in good faith contest in the name of such Tax
     Indemnified Party or, if requested by the Lessee and if such contest does
     not in such Tax Indemnified Party's reasonable discretion involve or
     potentially involve taxes imposed on such Tax Indemnified Party that are
     not indemnified against hereunder, to contest in the name of the Lessee (or
     permit the Lessee, if requested by the Lessee, to contest in the name of
     the Lessee or the Tax Indemnified Party) the validity, applicability and
     amount of the imposition of any Tax or any proposed adjustment that would
     give rise to the proposed imposition of any Tax by (a) resisting payment
     thereof, if such Tax Indemnified Party in its sole and reasonable
     discretion shall determine such course of action to be appropriate, (b) not
     paying the same except under protest, if protest is necessary and proper,
     or (c) if payment shall be made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a
     refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings;
     provided, however, that (u) such Tax Indemnified Party shall not be
     required to contest such imposition or proposed adjustment if the aggregate
     amount of an indemnity on an after-tax basis, would be less than $25,000,
     (v) no Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (w) such Tax
     Indemnified 

                                      57
<PAGE>
 
     Party has been provided with an opinion of independent tax counsel selected
     by such Tax Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to the Lessee (the
     cost of which shall be borne by the Lessee) to the effect that a reasonable
     basis in law or in fact exists that such Tax Indemnified Party will prevail
     in such contest, (x) such Tax Indemnified Party, at its sole option, may at
     any time forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings
     and conferences with any Taxing Authority and, in lieu thereof, continue to
     contest the claim in any permissible judicial forum selected by such Tax
     Indemnified Party, (y) Lessee shall have agreed to pay such Tax Indemnified
     Party (or, in the case of item (iii) below, lend to such Tax Indemnified
     Party on an interest-free basis (and in such case pay any additional amount
     as shall be required to hold such Tax Indemnified Party harmless on a net
     after-tax basis from any adverse tax consequences attributable to the
     loan), on demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses which
     such Tax Indemnified Party incurs in connection with and reasonably
     allocable to contesting such imposition or adjustment, including, without
     limitation, (i) all legal, accountants' and investigatory fees and
     disbursements, (ii) the amount of any interest, penalties or additions to
     tax (to the date such payment is made) payable as a result of contesting
     such adjustment, and (iii) if such contest is to be initiated by the
     payment of, and the claiming of a refund for, the amount of such imposition
     or adjustment, funds sufficient to make such payment of, and the claiming
     of a refund for, the amount of such imposition or adjustment, funds
     sufficient to make such payment (and in the event such contest is finally
     determined adversely, the amount of such loan shall be applied against the
     Lessee's obligation to indemnify such Tax Indemnified Party for the Tax
     which was the subject of such contest); and (z) such proceedings do not
     involve any risk (other than a remote risk) of the sale, forfeiture or loss
     of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Serviced Engine or any Part or interest
     therein or, if there is such a risk, Lessee has provided to such Tax
     Indemnified Party a bond in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
     such Tax Indemnified Party in an amount sufficient to protect such Tax
     Indemnified Party from any detriment that would be suffered by the Lessor
     as a result of such sale, forfeiture, or loss or has otherwise protected
     such Tax Indemnified Party in a manner acceptable to such Tax Indemnified
     Party and there is no risk or the imposition of criminal penalties. Such
     Tax Indemnified Party will consult with Lessee regarding any contest and
     will consider in good faith any suggestions made by Lessee with respect to
     the most favorable forum for, and the conduct of, such contest; provided,
     however, that, unless such Tax Indemnified Party elects to permit Lessee to
     conduct such contest, such contest shall be controlled by such Tax
     Indemnified Party and conducted by independent counsel selected by such Tax
     Indemnified Party or by "in-house" counsel of such Tax Indemnified Party
     and reasonably acceptable to Lessee. In the event that such Tax Indemnified
     Party elects to permit the Lessee to conduct such contest, the independent
     counsel selected by the Lessee to conduct such contest shall be reasonably
     satisfactory to such Tax Indemnified Party. If requested by the Lessee in
     writing, such Tax Indemnified Party will appeal (or, if desired by such Tax
     Indemnified Party, permit the Lessee to appeal) any adverse judicial
     determination, provided that, as a condition to the commencement of the
     appeal of such adverse judicial determination, (a) such Tax Indemnified
     Party shall receive, at the Lessee's expense, an opinion of independent
     counsel, selected by such Tax Indemnified Party and reasonably satisfactory
     to Lessee, to the effect that a more likely than not probability of success
     exists for such appeal and (b)

                                      58
<PAGE>
 
     Lessee shall have acknowledged its liability to such Indemnified Party for
     an indemnity payment as a result of such tax claim if such Tax Indemnified
     Party shall not prevail in the contest; provided, however, that such Tax
     Indemnified Party shall not be required to appeal any adverse judicial
     determination to the United States Supreme Court.

     Notwithstanding anything contained in this subsection 16(g) to the
contrary, no Tax Indemnified Party shall be required to contest any claim if the
subject matter thereof shall be of a continuing nature and shall have previously
been decided pursuant to the contest provisions of this subsection 16(g)
(including a contest pursuant to the contest provisions hereof in which the Tax
Indemnified Party may be required to contest such a claim if there shall have
been a change in the law (including, without limitation, amendments to statutes
or regulations, administrative ruling and court decisions)) or Lessee shall have
provided new facts after such claim shall have been so previously decided, and
such Tax Indemnified Party shall have received an opinion of independent tax
counsel selected by such Tax Indemnified Party and approved by the Lessee (the
cost of which shall be borne by the Lessee) to the effect that, as a result of
such change or new facts, it is more likely than not that the position which
such Tax Indemnified Party or the Lessee, as the case may be, had asserted in
such previous contest, would prevail; provided, that the provisions of this
                                      --------                             
paragraph shall not require an Tax Indemnified Party to file an amended tax
return or refund claim for any prior taxable period.

     (h)  Compromise or Settlement.  A Tax Indemnified Party shall have the
          ------------------------                                         
right to settle or compromise a contest if such Tax Indemnified Party has
provided Lessee a reasonable opportunity to review a copy of that portion of the
settlement or compromise proposal which relates to the Tax for which such Tax
Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification hereunder, provided that, if (i)
                                                        --------             
such Tax Indemnified Party fails to provide the Lessee such a reasonable
opportunity to review such portion of such proposal or (ii) after such
reasonable opportunity to review such proposal the Lessee in writing reasonably
withholds its consent to all or part of such settlement or compromise proposal,
the Lessee shall not be obligated to indemnify such Tax Indemnified Party
hereunder to the extent of the amount attributable to the Tax to which such
settlement or compromise relates as to which the Lessee has reasonably withheld
its consent. If such Tax Indemnified Party effects a settlement or compromise of
such contest without giving notice to the Lessee or, notwithstanding that the
Lessee has reasonably withheld its consent thereto, such Tax Indemnified Party
shall repay to the Lessee such amounts theretofore advanced by the Lessee
pursuant to clause (y)(iii) of subsection 16(g)(i) hereof as relate to such
claim, to the extent the Lessee has reasonably withheld its consent to the
settlement or compromise thereof.

     (i)  Refunds.  If any Tax Indemnified Party shall obtain a refund of all or
          -------                                                               
any part of any Taxes that the Lessee shall have paid for such Tax Indemnified
Party or for which the Lessee shall have reimbursed such Tax Indemnified Party,
such Tax Indemnified Party shall, so long as no Default or Lessee Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no payment is due and owing by
the Lessee under this Agreement or any Long-Term Agreement, pay to the Lessee an
amount which is equal to the sum of the amount of such refund, plus any interest
received attributable thereto net of any net taxes payable by such Tax
Indemnified Party with respect to the receipt or accrual of such interest and
the payment thereof to the Lessee, but only after the Lessee shall have made all
payments then due and owing to such Tax Indemnified Party pursuant to this

                                      59
<PAGE>
 
Section 16; provided, however, that any subsequent loss of any refund paid to
            --------  -------                                                
the Lessee hereunder shall be treated as a Tax subject to indemnification in
accordance with this Section 16 (without regard to any exclusions set forth in
subsection 16(b) or the provisions of subsection 16(g).

     (j)  Failure to Contest.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
          ------------------                                           
contained in this subsection 16(g), a Tax Indemnified Party may at any time
decline to take any further action with respect to a proposed adjustment or the
imposition of a Tax; provided, that if the Lessee has properly requested such
                     --------                                                
action pursuant to, and is otherwise entitled to require any action to be taken
by a Tax Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of subsection 16(g), and
such Tax Indemnified Party has failed to contest, or permit the Lessee to
contest, such proposed adjustment or the imposition of such Tax, such Tax
Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have waived its right to any Indemnity
payment that would otherwise be payable by the Lessee pursuant to this Section
16 in respect of such adjustment or the imposition of such Tax.  In such event,
such Tax Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Lessee for all amounts previously
advanced by the Lessee to such Tax Indemnified Party with respect to such
proposed adjustment pursuant to clause (y)(iii) of subsection 16(g) hereof. If
an Tax Indemnified Party fails to contest or to permit a contest hereunder, such
Tax Indemnified Party will not be required to pay over the Lessee any amount
representing tax benefits described in subsection 16(c)(B) hereof which result
from the payment of Taxes as to which such Tax Indemnified Party has been deemed
to have waived its right to any indemnity payment hereunder.

     (k)  Interest.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the
          --------                                                             
Stipulated Interest Rate shall be paid, on demand, on any amount not paid when
due, pursuant to Section 16 until the same shall be paid.  Such interest shall
be paid in the same manner as the unpaid amount in respect of which such
interest is due.

     (l)  Effect of Other Indemnities.  The Lessee's obligations under the
          ---------------------------                                     
indemnities provided for in this Agreement and the Long-Term Agreements shall be
those of a primary obligor whether or not the Person indemnified shall also be
indemnified with respect to the same matter under the terms of this Agreement,
any Lease or any Long-Term Agreement or any other document or instrument, and
the Person seeking indemnification from the Lessee pursuant to any provisions of
this Agreement may proceed directly against the Lessee without first seeking to
enforce any other right of indemnification.

     Section  17.   Miscellaneous
                    -------------


     (a)  Construction; Governing Law.  Any provision of this Lease which is
          ----------------------------                                      
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  To the extent permitted
by Applicable Law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders
any provisions hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.  No term or
provision of this Lease may be 

                                      60

signed by the party against which the enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought; and, in compliance with Section 2A-208(b) of
the Texas Business and Commerce Code requiring a separate signature of this
provision, Lessee has signed in the space provided below. Any consent or
approval specified herein of a party hereto may be withheld entirely in such

not be unreasonably withheld.

     (c)  Lessor's Right to Perform.  If Lessee fails to perform any of its
          -------------------------                                        
obligations hereunder, Lessor may (but shall not be obligated to) discharge such
obligation, and the amount of the expenses of Lessor incurred in connection with
such discharge shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by Lessee upon demand
together with interest thereon at the Stipulated Interest Rate to but excluding
the date of payment.  Lessor shall use its best efforts to give Lessee prior
notice of Lessor's intention to discharge any such obligation.

     (d)  Confidentiality.
          --------------- 

          (i)     Confidential Information.  For purposes of this Agreement,
                  ------------------------                                  
     confidential information shall mean any and all (i) trade secrets, (ii)
     confidential or other proprietary information of a party or its Affiliates
     concerning past, present or future research, development, business
     activities or affairs, finances, properties, methods of operation,
     processes and systems, (iii) customer lists, and (iv) other customer
     information, whether oral, written or contained in any magnetic, electronic
     or other media; provided, that in order for a party's information to be
                     --------                                               
     considered confidential hereunder such information, if 
 
<PAGE>
 
     non-oral, must be marked by such party as confidential; and provided
                                                                 --------
     further, that oral information must be specified as confidential at the
     -------
     time of disclosure (collectively, "Confidential Information").
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree
     that the terms and conditions of this Agreement set forth in Exhibit E of
     this Agreement constitute Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, any information regarding this Lease and the terms or provisions
     thereof provided to Head Lease Lessor pursuant to the terms of this Lease
     or the Head Lease shall not constitute Confidential Information. The party
     which receives Confidential Information from the other party agrees to
     maintain such information in secrecy at all times, using the same degree of
     care with respect to such Confidential Information as it uses in protecting
     its own proprietary information, trade secrets and similar items; provided,
                                                                       --------
     that Confidential Information may be used in an action by one party to this
     Agreement against the other if subject to the conditions set forth in (ii)
     below. Information of either party which would otherwise be considered
     Confidential Information shall not be considered Confidential Information
     if such information is in the public domain, or is placed in the public
     domain through no violation of this Agreement, or is lawfully obtained from
     another source free of restriction.

          (ii)   Use of Confidential Information. Except to the extent expressly
                 -------------------------------                                
     permitted in Section 4(l) of Exhibit E, neither party shall sell, transfer,
     publish, disclose, display or otherwise make available the Confidential
     Information of the other party to any third party (and third parties shall
     be deemed also to include Affiliates of the party so restricted which are
     not parents or subsidiaries), except as may be required by Applicable Law
     in which case the party from whom disclosure is sought shall promptly
     notify the other party.  To the extent that the other party objects to
     disclosure of such Confidential Information, the party from which
     disclosure is sought shall (i) use reasonable and lawful efforts to resist
     making any disclosure of such Confidential Information, (ii) use reasonable
     and lawful efforts to limit the amount of such Confidential Information to
     be disclosed, and (iii) use all reasonable efforts to obtain a protective
     order or other appropriate relief to minimize the further dissemination of
     any Confidential Information to be disclosed.  In addition, neither party
     shall disclose the Confidential Information of the other party to any
     employee or agent except on a need-to-know basis. Each party shall use
     reasonable efforts to inform all such employees and agents that the
     Confidential Information of the other party is subject to this non-
     disclosure obligation. Furthermore, neither party shall use the
     Confidential Information of the other party for any purpose other than as
     expressly provided in this Agreement.

          (iii)  Termination.  Upon termination of this Agreement for any cause
                 -----------                                                   
     or reason, each party shall, within ninety (90) days of such termination,
     either deliver to the other party or destroy all of such other party's
     Confidential Information (including all copies thereof, other than copies
     of this Agreement) at the option of the other party then in its possession
     and shall purge any copies thereof encoded or stored on magnetic or other
     electronic media or processors; provided, that neither Lessee nor Lessor
                                     --------                                
     shall be required to purge or destroy any Confidential Information that is
     reasonably necessary in 

                                      65
<PAGE>
 
     connection with the resolution of any disputes which may have arisen
     pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.


          (iv)   No Adequate Remedy.  Each party acknowledges and agrees that
                 ------------------
     the other party will have no adequate remedy at law if there is a breach or
     threatened breach of this Section 17(d) and, accordingly, that the other
     party shall be entitled to an injunction against such breach. Nothing
     herein shall be construed as a waiver of any other legal or equitable
     remedies that may be available to either party if the other party breaches
     this Section 17(d).

          (v)    Survival.  The restrictions of this Section 17(d) shall survive
                 --------                                                       
     for a period of eight (8) years after the termination or expiration of this
     Agreement.

          (vi)   Affiliates.  The Affiliates of Lessor and Lessee shall comply
                 ----------
     in all respects with the restrictions of this Section 17(d) and Lessor and
     Lessee, respectively, shall in all respects be responsible for their
     compliance.

          (vii)  Other Confidentiality Agreements.  The provisions of this
                 --------------------------------                         
     Section 17(d) are in addition to, and shall not be deemed to affect the
     terms and provisions of, the Confidentiality Agreement.  To the extent the
     terms hereof may be deemed to be inconsistent with the terms of the
     Confidentiality Agreement or such Confidentiality Agreement shall be
     silent, this Agreement shall control with respect to this Agreement and any
     Confidential Information relating hereto.  Upon the written consent of
     Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, Lessee may
     provide this Agreement to third party lenders or investors of Lessee;
     provided, that the party receiving this Agreement shall, prior to obtaining
     --------                                                                   
     it, enter into a confidentiality agreement with Lessee for the benefit of
     Lessor  in substantially the form of this Section 17(d).

     (e)  Counterparts.   This Lease and the Lease Supplement No.1 may be
          ------------                                                   
executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and
all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.  To the
extent that this Lease constitutes chattel paper, as such term is defined in the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction, no security
interest in this Lease may be created through the transfer or possession of any
counterpart other than the counterpart marked as the "Original" and containing
the receipt therefor executed by the applicable secured party on the signature
page thereof.

     (f)  Grant of Security Interest by Lessor.  In compliance with the terms of
          ------------------------------------                                  
this Section, Lessor may grant a security interest in this Lease as collateral
for a loan provided Lessor notifies Lessee at least ten (10) Business Days
before granting such security interest.  The rights of Lessee under this Lease
shall be superior in all respects to the rights of any such lender and Lessor
shall require any such lender to agree in writing in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessee that such lender's rights in and to the
Aircraft and under the Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the terms of
this Lease to receive all such performance from Lessor as may from time to time
be required by the terms hereof.  Lessee agrees to reasonably cooperate with
Lessor in connection 

                                      66
<PAGE>
 
with Lessor's efforts to grant such security interest and to provide, at
Lessor's cost and expense, such documents and certificates in connection
therewith as Lessor may reasonably request, provided, that anything in this
                                            --------
Section 17(f) to the contrary notwithstanding, the consummation of any such loan
shall not increase the actual or potential responsibilities or liabilities of
the Lessee or deprive Lessee of any of its rights or privileges under the Long-
Term Agreements. Notwithstanding anything in this Section or this Agreement to
the contrary, Lessor may, without written notice to or the consent of Lessee,
assign or otherwise grant a security interest in Lessor's interest in this Lease
to Head Lease Lessor or any lender or mortgagee of Head Lease Lessor.

     (g)  Survival.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the
          --------                                                           
Long-Term Agreements, the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in
this Agreement, and the obligations hereunder, shall survive any transfer of
title or possession of the Serviced Aircraft, any Serviced Engines or any
Serviced Part, any termination or expiration of this Agreement or any
impossibility of performance of this Agreement or frustration of purpose of this
Agreement.

     (h)  Assignment.  SUBJECT TO THE TERMS HEREOF, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BIND
          ----------                                                         
AND BENEFIT LESSOR, LESSEE, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND PERMITTED
ASSIGNS.  LESSOR MAY ASSIGN ANY OR ALL OF ITS RIGHTS AND/OR DELEGATE ANY OR ALL
OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER TO ANY AFFILIATE OF LESSOR; PROVIDED, THAT LESSOR
                                                         --------             
SHALL NOT ASSIGN ANY OR ALL OF ITS RIGHTS AND/OR DELEGATE ANY OR ALL OF ITS
OBLIGATIONS UNDER EXHIBIT E OR ANY RELATED PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ANY
AFFILIATE THAT IS NOT CERTIFICATED BY THE FAA TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE SERVICES.
SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 4(f) OF EXHIBIT E, LESSOR MAY SUBCONTRACT
CERTAIN SPECIFIC TYPES OF MAINTENANCE SERVICES CONSTITUTING LESS THAN ALL OR
SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED HEREUNDER, AND, IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH, ASSIGN CERTAIN OF ITS RIGHTS AND DELEGATE CERTAIN OF ITS
OBLIGATIONS UNDER EXHIBIT E AND ANY RELATED PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, LESSOR MAY ASSIGN
ALL OR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF ITS RIGHTS AND/OR DELEGATE  ALL OR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL
OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER EXHIBIT E AND ANY RELATED PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT
TO ANY PERSON CERTIFICATED BY THE FAA TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE SERVICES SUBJECT
ONLY TO SECTION 3(f)(ii)(C) OF EXHIBIT E. LESSEE MAY NOT (EITHER VOLUNTARILY OR
INVOLUNTARILY) ASSIGN ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR DELEGATE ANY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS
HEREUNDER.

     (i)    Transaction Expenses.  Lessee agrees to pay the reasonable out-of-
            --------------------                                             
pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with the preparation,
execution and delivery of any amendments, modifications or waivers requested by
Lessee or resulting from any requests of Lessee under this Agreement.  Except as
specifically set forth herein, each of Lessor and Lessee shall be responsible
for their own legal and out-of-pocket expenses arising from the transactions
contemplated herein.

     (j)  Entirety.  This Lease Agreement, the Lease Supplements, the
          --------                                                   
Confidentiality Agreement and the Letter of Credit embody the entire agreement
between the parties hereto and thereto concerning the subject hereof and thereof
and such agreements terminate and supersede all prior or contemporaneous
agreements, discussions, undertakings, and understandings, whether written or
oral, express or implied, between the parties hereto and thereto concerning the
subject hereof and thereof.

     (k)  Force Majeure.  Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for a failure or
          -------------                                                        
delay in the performance of any obligation or agreement contained herein, if
such failure or delay arises from any cause beyond Lessor's reasonable control,
including any act, omission, or breach of this Lease Agreement by Lessee, acts
of God, action or regulation of any Governmental Authority, fire, the elements,
flood, earthquakes, explosions, accidents, mechanical or electrical failures,
acts of the public enemy, war, civil disturbance, rebellion, insurrection, work
stoppage, strikes (including any mechanic, flight attendant or pilot strike),
labor dispute or difference with workers, regardless of whether or not Lessor
(or its Affiliate) is capable of settling such labor problem, or any other
cause, whether similar or dissimilar, beyond Lessor's reasonable control;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to
- --------  -------                                                      
Maintenance Services and related obligations as provided in Exhibit E hereto,
the provisions of Section 4(c)(i) of Exhibit E shall apply.

     (l)  Independent Contractor; No Agency.
          --------------------------------- 

     Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to create or
establish any agency, partnership, or joint venture or fiduciary relationship
between the parties and neither Lessee nor any of its Affiliates has any
authority to act for or to incur any obligations on behalf of or in the name of
Lessor or any of its Affiliates and neither Lessor nor any of its Affiliates has
any authority to act for or to incur any obligations on behalf of or in the name
of Lessee or any of its Affiliates by virtue of this Agreement.  The parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that nothing contained herein creates any fiduciary
duties between the parties or their respective Affiliates.

     (m)  Certain Consents and Waivers of Lessee.
          -------------------------------------- 

          (i)  Jurisdiction.  Except as set forth in Section 6 of Exhibit E
               ------------                                                
hereto,

               (a)  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the
     exclusive jurisdiction of: (i) the United States District Court for the
     Northern District of Texas, and of the courts of the State of Texas in
     Tarrant County, and (ii) to the United States District Court for the
     District of Hawaii (other than the Court), and of the courts of the State
     of Hawaii in Honolulu County, for the purposes of any suit, action or other
     proceeding arising out of this Lease Agreement or the subject matter hereof
     brought by any other party, and (iii) any federal, state or foreign court
     of competent jurisdiction where the In-Use Aircraft may be located from
     time to time for the purpose of Lessor exercising any rights and remedies
     under this Lease Agreement, including, without limitation, repossession of
     the In-Use Aircraft. Lessor and Lessee each agrees that neither of them
     will bring any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Lease
     Agreement, the 

                                      68
<PAGE>
 
     subject matter herein, or any of the transactions described herein, in any
     jurisdiction other than the jurisdictions described above.

               (b)  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereby
     waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or
     otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim (i) that it is
     not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, (ii)
     that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum,
     (iii) that it is immune from any legal process with respect to itself or
     its property, (iv) that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is
     improper, or (v) that this Lease Agreement or the subject matter hereof may
     not be enforced in or by such courts;

               (c)  Lessee agrees to designate CT Corporation in Texas as its
     agent for service of process in Texas, and Lessor agrees to designate CT
     Corporation in Hawaii as its agent for service of process in Hawaii.
     Lessor and Lessee each agrees that submission to jurisdiction and
     designation of an agent for service of process set forth above is made
     solely for the express benefit of the other party and is effective solely
     for purposes of this Lease Agreement;

               (d)  Final judgment against a party in any suit in any court of
     competent jurisdiction shall be conclusive, and may be enforced in other
     jurisdictions, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by suit on the
     judgment, a certified and true copy of which, to the extent permitted by
     Applicable Law, shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and the amount of
     any indebtedness or liability of the party therein described; and

               (e)  To the extent that any party or any of its property is or
     becomes entitled at any time to any immunity on the grounds of sovereignty
     or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from setoff or
     counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any competent court, from service of
     process, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of
     execution, or from jurisdiction, that party for itself and its property
     does hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, and agrees not to plead
     or claim any such immunity with respect to its obligations, liabilities or
     any other matter arising hereof.  Such agreement shall be irrevocable and
     not subject to withdrawal in any and all jurisdictions including under the
     Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States of America.

         (II)  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  LESSEE AND LESSOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVE TRIAL
               --------------------                                            
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE AGREEMENT OR ANY
MATTER RELATED HERETO.

         (III) OTHER WAIVERS.  LESSEE AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT UPON THE
               -------------                                               
OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, LESSOR SHALL
SUFFER IRREPARABLE HARM FOR WHICH MONEY DAMAGES WILL NOT BE ADEQUATE OR CANNOT
BE READILY ASCERTAINED. IN FURTHERANCE THEREOF, LESSEE AGREES THAT IT WILL 

                                      69
<PAGE>
 
TAKE NO ACTION TO HINDER, DELAY OR INTERFERE WITH ANY ACTIONS TAKEN BY LESSOR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE REPOSSESSION OF THE IN-USE AIRCRAFT. SPECIFICALLY, LESSEE
WILL NOT TAKE ANY ACTION WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE LESSOR TO BREACH THE PEACE IN
CONNECTION WITH REPOSSESSION OF THE IN-USE AIRCRAFT. LESSEE CONSENTS TO THE
ISSUANCE OF ANY ORDER OF ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION ENABLING LESSOR TO
REPOSSESS THE IN-USE AIRCRAFT, FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT,
WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF LESSOR POSTING OR ISSUING ANY BOND. IN ADDITION, LESSEE
AGREES THAT UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS
13A(I) OR (J) OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT, LESSEE SHALL NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY
PERIODS SPECIFIED IN SECTIONS 365 OR 1110 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE DURING WHICH IT
MIGHT RETAIN POSSESSION OF THE IN-USE AIRCRAFT OR THE PROVISIONS OF THE
AUTOMATIC STAY SET FORTH IN SECTION 362 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE, AND, WITHOUT
LIMITING OTHER REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO LESSOR, SHALL EITHER IMMEDIATELY UPON THE
FILING OF ANY BANKRUPTCY PETITION TURN OVER THE IN-SERVICE AIRCRAFT TO LESSOR OR
PAY ALL AMOUNTS THEN DUE AND OWING HEREUNDER AND THEREAFTER ACCRUING UNDER THIS
LEASE AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT THAT AN ORDER IS ISSUED GIVING LESSOR POSSESSION
OF ANY IN-USE AIRCRAFT, LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO RETURN OF
POSSESSION OF SUCH AIRCRAFT, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT SEEK ANY ORDER
PERMITTING IT TO RETAIN OR REPOSSESS SUCH AIRCRAFT, BY POSTING A BOND OR
OTHERWISE. IN THE EVENT THAT ANY COURT DECLINES TO ISSUE AN ORDER PERMITTING
LESSOR TO REPOSSESS ANY IN-USE AIRCRAFT UNLESS LESSOR POSTS OR ISSUES A BOND, OR
LESSOR ELECTS NOT TO REQUEST THAT THE REQUIREMENT FOR SUCH A BOND BE WAIVED,
LESSEE HEREBY AGREES THAT (IF LESSOR SO ELECTS) THE AMOUNT OF SUCH BOND SHALL
NOT BE REQUIRED TO EXCEED ONE YEAR'S BASIC RENT FOR SUCH AIRCRAFT.

     (n)  Offset.  Until all Deferred Basic Rent is paid under the Long-Term

                              ------------------


                        DELIVERY AND RETURN CONDITIONS
                        ------------------------------

The following conditions shall apply to the Aircraft upon delivery of the In-Use
Aircraft by Lessor to Lessee and upon return of Return Aircraft to the Lessor by
the Lessee pursuant to this Agreement.

                 CONDITION OF IN-USE AIRCRAFT UPON DELIVERY AND
                 ----------------------------------------------
                          RETURN AIRCRAFT UPON RETURN
                          ---------------------------

Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessor shall deliver the In-Use Aircraft to Lessee
AS-IS, WHERE-IS; and Lessee shall return the Return Aircraft to the Lessor in
compliance with all of the following provisions:

1.   Inspection of "on-condition" and "condition monitored" components will have
been accomplished when due and all such items shall be serviceable.

2.   It is the intent of the parties that the condition of the In-Use Aircraft
at the time of delivery of the Return Aircraft at the termination of the Lease
shall be to conform to that of the standards of international air
transportation, with the interior and exterior in good repair and appearance,
without significant corrosion, or structural maintenance work deferred, and with
all Airworthiness Directives in full compliance.  It is further the intent of
the Lease that the Return Aircraft and its Serviced Engines will be readily
transferable to the registration of another carrier without having to undergo
significant repairs, refurbishment or modification being required on the Return
Aircraft.  At the time of such return, the Return Aircraft shall comply with the
following conditions:

     A.   Upon return to Lessor, the Return Aircraft shall comply with Lessee's
          FAA-approved maintenance program.

     B.   All deferred maintenance items and all deficiencies or discrepancies
          which by their nature are outside Lessee's maintenance manual limits
          for unrestricted operation found prior to or during the return
          inspection or final inspection or demonstration delivery flight(s)
          shall be corrected by repair in accordance with the approved Lessee's
          maintenance manual.

     C.   The fuel, hydraulic, pneumatic, water and waste system leaks on the
          Return Aircraft shall be within the limits allowable pursuant to
          Lessee's maintenance manual.  This is to be demonstrated by filling
          all tanks and reservoirs to capacity and performance of a functional
          and leak check of all related systems. The cost of such checks shall
          be borne by the Lessee.

                                      D-1
<PAGE>
 
     D.   The Return Aircraft on return by Lessee and all parts installed shall
          have all necessary FAA approved service tags or equivalent Lessee
          documents approved by the Lessee's maintenance program.

     E.   Engines

          a.   Engine borescope inspections of compressor, burner and turbine
               sections of each installed engine shall be conducted in
               accordance with Lessor's engine borescope inspection cards #4930-
               1, 4930-2 and 4930-3 [for inspections] (or any such replacement
               card therefor). Each card shall have attached thereto findings
               and comments along with visual records (photographic or video
               data). Inspected engines shall meet the requirements of
               manufacturer's maintenance manual. Borescope inspection findings
               that result in inspection intervals being reduced to less than
               400 hours will be corrected by engine replacement and/or repair
               prior to the return of the Return Aircraft by Lessee.

               Borescope inspections shall have been completed by Lessor/Lessee
               or its authorized representative, at Lessee's expense.  In the
               event the APU fails to meet the pneumatic or electrical load
               requirements, the APU shall be changed.

          b.   Each installed engine will be subject to completion of a power
               assurance run and review of engine trend analysis with all engine
               parameters being within limits in accordance with the appropriate
               manufacturer's engine manual.  Engine ground runs for the Return
               Aircraft shall be conducted in accordance with Lessor's engine
               ground run-up card number DR71-95-18 (or any such replacement
               card therefor). Engine Exhaust Gas Temperature ("EGT") shall not
               exceed a maximum of 925 degrees C during ground runs to max
               power. In the event EGT exceeds 925 degrees C and adjustments
               cannot be accomplished with the engine installed within eight
               working hours to reduce EGT below 925 degrees C at max power, the
               engine installed shall be rejected and a Replacement Engine
               installed.

          c.   No installed engine shall be on "watch" and each such engine
               shall comply with the operations specification of Lessee without
               waiver or exceptions.

          In the event Lessor is no longer maintaining the In-Use Aircraft, the
          expense of complying with this paragraph E shall be at Lessee's sole
          expense.  In the event Lessor is maintaining the In-Use Aircraft
          pursuant to Exhibit E hereto, the cost of any repairs or replacements
          required by this 

                                      D-2

C.   MISCELLANEOUS.
     ------------- 

     1.   Except as set forth herein, all terms and provisions contained in the
Lease Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.  Nothing contained in
this Lease Amendment No. 7 shall be deemed a waiver by Lessor of any amounts due
and owing under the Lease or of any rights of Lessor existing on the date hereof
under the Lease; provided, however, that the amount of Deferred Basic Rent
represents the unpaid Rent due and owing on the date hereof (the "Unpaid Rent").
Lessor hereby waives any Event of Default under the Lease Agreement arising
solely from Lessee's failure to pay the Unpaid Rent.  Lessee's failure to pay
the Deferred Basic Rent, Additional Deferred Rent or Deferral Interest in
accordance with the terms of this Amendment No. 7 shall constitute an Event of
Default under the Lease Agreement and entitle Lessor to enforce all rights and
remedies under Section 14A of the Lease.

     2.   Lessee hereby confirms its agreement to pay to Lessor Basic Rent,
Deferred Basic Rent, Additional Deferred Rent, Deferral Interest and
Supplemental Rent for the Aircraft throughout the Term in accordance with the
Lease Agreement, as amended.

     3.   This Amendment No. 7 is being delivered in the State of Texas and
shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of Texas, including all matters of construction, validity and
performance.

     4.   This Amendment No. 7 may be executed in several counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute
one and the same instrument. To the extent that this Amendment No. 7 constitutes
chattel paper, as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in any applicable jurisdiction, no security interest in this Amendment
No. 7 may be created through the transfer or possession of any counterpart other
than the counterpart marked as the "Original."

request, provided that any review will be conducted in a way that will not
interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the Company's business, and provided,
further, 

                                       24

that no review pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall affect or be deemed to modify

Confidentiality Agreement attached as Exhibit J hereto.

          6.5  Publicity.  Except as required by law, regulation or stock
               ---------                                                 
exchange requirements, neither (A) the Company or any of its Affiliates nor (B)
the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall, without the consent of the other,

make any public announcement or issue any press release without consulting with
the other party, to the extent feasible, as to the content of such public
announcement or press release, and in no event will the Company or any of its

               ---------------------                                            
the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not,
directly or indirectly, take (nor shall the Company authorize or permit its
officers, directors, employees, representatives, investment bankers, attorneys,
accountants or other agents or Affiliates, to take) any action to:  solicit or
initiate the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, or, subject to the
fiduciary duties of the directors of the Company under Hawaii law based upon a
good faith determination by Board of Directors after taking into account the
advice of counsel and independent investment advisors (as to financial terms and
availability of financing) with respect thereto (in which case Sections 9.1 and
9.2 shall be applicable), enter into any agreement with respect to or propose
any Acquisition Proposal or participate in any way in discussions or
negotiations with, or furnish any information to, any Person (other than the
Purchaser or any of its partners or officers, directors, employees,
representatives, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, other agents or
Affiliates) in connection with, or take any other action to facilitate any
inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be
expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal.  The Company shall give immediate
telephonic notice to the Purchaser (promptly followed by written notice) of its
receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or of any inquiry or request for information
contemplating an Acquisition Proposal.  The Company shall keep the Purchaser
informed, on a current basis, of the status of any Acquisition Proposal and any
negotiations or discussions relating to such a proposal.

          Except as required by law, the Company agrees that it shall not
disclose to any Person any written information furnished to it by the Purchaser
or any of its Representatives (including, without limitation, Paul, Weiss,

               6.7  Certificates for Shares To Bear Legends.
                    --------------------------------------- 

          (A) So long as the Shares are not sold pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, the
Shares shall be subject to a stop-transfer order and the certificates therefor
shall bear the following legend by which each holder thereof shall be bound:

                                       25
<PAGE>
 
               "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR
     SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
     SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, OR (ii) AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
     THEREUNDER."

              (B) After the termination of the legend requirements of Section
6.7(A), the Company shall, upon the written request of the holders of the Shares
and receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that such
requirement has terminated (including a written opinion of outside counsel),
issue certificates for such Shares that do not bear all or part of the legend
described in Section 6.7(A).

          6.8  Use of Proceeds.  The net proceeds of the sale of the Shares will
               ---------------                                                  
be used by the Company as determined by the Board of Directors as constituted
immediately following the Closing.

          6.9  Rights Offering.  The Purchaser agrees that as soon as
               ---------------                                       
practicable following the Closing Date it shall use its best efforts to cause
the Company to make a rights offering to such persons and with such terms and
conditions as the Board of Directors as at such time constituted shall
determine, but including the following (the "Rights Offering"):

          (a) Each shareholder and option holder shall be entitled to the right
(a "Right") to acquire one share of Class A Common Stock for each share of
Common Stock owned, or subject to an option owned, by such Person; and

          (b) Each Right shall be exercisable for twenty (20) days at a discount
equal to at least 30% of the Market Price for the Class A Common Stock measured
over a period of time (as determined by the Board of Directors as at such time
constituted) prior to the exercise date, subject to a minimum exercise price of
$1.10 per share.

          6.10  Purchaser Vote.  In the event that the vote required under the
                --------------                                                
Articles and Hawaiian law to approve the Articles Amendment is not obtained,
then the Purchaser hereby agrees that promptly following the Closing, it will
deliver to the Corporate Secretary of the Company a written request that the
Corporate Secretary call a special meeting of shareholders to approve the
Articles Amendment, and the Purchaser further agrees that it will vote the Class
A Common Stock acquired by it hereunder in favor of the Articles Amendment at
such meeting of shareholders.

      7.  SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.

          The representations and warranties and all covenants and agreements
contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the Closing hereunder and continue in effect thereafter through, to and
including December 8, 1997, at which time they shall terminate except with
respect to claims asserted for any breach or inaccuracy prior to December 8,
1997; provided, that following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have a
      --------                                                             
claim pursuant to a breach of the representation and warranty contained in
Section 4.17 only if the facts and circumstances giving rise to such breach have
had, or would be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect.

          8.  INDEMNIFICATION.

            8.1  Indemnification by the Company.  In addition to all other sums
                 ------------------------------                                
due hereunder or provided for in this Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Purchaser, its partners and their respective Affiliates
and the respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries,
partners, advisors, representatives and controlling Persons of each of the
foregoing (each, an "indemnified party") to the fullest extent permitted by law
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses (including
reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) or other
liabilities ("Liabilities") resulting from any legal, administrative or other
actions brought by any Person or entity (including actions brought by the
Company or any equity or debt holders of the Company or derivative actions
brought by any Person claiming through the Company or in the Company's name),
proceedings or investigations (whether formal or informal), or written threats
thereof, based upon, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby, or any indemnified party's role therein or in
the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that the Company shall not be
                                      --------                               
liable under this Section 8.1 to an indemnified party to the extent that it is
finally judicially determined that such Liabilities resulted primarily from the
willful malfeasance of such indemnified party; and provided, further, that if
                                                   --------  -------         
and to the extent that such indemnification is unenforceable for any reason
other than the immediately preceding proviso, the Company shall make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such indemnified Liabilities
that shall be permissible under applicable laws.  In connection with the
obligation of the Company to indemnify for Liabilities as set forth above, the
Company further agrees to reimburse each indemnified party for all such expenses
(including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) as they
are incurred by such indemnified party provided that each such indemnified party
shall have undertaken to repay any such amounts in the event that it is finally
judicially determined that the Company is not liable under this Section 8.1 for
such Liabilities.

          8.2  Notification.  Each indemnified party under this Section 8 will,
               ------------                                                    
promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action or other
proceeding against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity may be
sought from the Company under Section 8, notify the Company in writing of the
commencement thereof.  The omission of any indemnified party so to notify the
Company of any such action shall not relieve the Company from any liability that
it may have to such indemnified party unless the Company is materially
prejudiced thereby.  In case any such action or other proceeding shall be
brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the Company of the
commencement thereof, the Company shall be entitled to participate therein and,
to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that any
                                                   --------  -------          
indemnified party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to
participate in such defense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any action or
proceeding in which both the Company and an indemnified party is, or is
reasonably likely to become, a party, such indemnified party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel at the Company's expense and to control its own
defense of such action or proceeding if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to
such indemnified party, there are or may be legal defenses available to such
indemnified party or to other indemnified parties that are different from or
additional to those available to the Company which, if the Company and such
indemnified party were to be represented by the same counsel, would constitute a
conflict of interest for such counsel or materially prejudice the prosecution of
the 

                                       27
<PAGE>
 
defenses available to such indemnified party; provided, however, that in no
                                              --------  -------            
event shall the Company be required to pay fees and expenses under this Article
8 for more than one firm of attorneys representing the indemnified parties
(together, if appropriate, with one firm of local counsel per jurisdiction) in
any one legal action or group of related legal actions.  The Company shall not
be liable for any settlement of such action or proceeding effected without its
prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. The Company agrees that
the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, not to
be unreasonably withheld, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to
any matter subject to indemnification hereunder unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Purchaser and
each other indemnified party from all Liabilities and the Purchaser and each
other indemnified party are not obligated to take or forego taking any action,
including the payment of money, thereunder.  The rights accorded to indemnified
parties hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any indemnified party
may have at common law, under federal and state securities laws, by separate
agreement or otherwise.

          8.3  Registration Rights Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the
               -----------------------------                                  
contrary in this Section 8, the indemnification and contribution provisions of
the Registration Rights Agreement shall govern any claim made with respect to
registration statements filed pursuant thereto or sales made thereunder.

     9.  TERMINATION.

         9.1  Termination.  Subject to Section 9.2, this Agreement may be
              -----------

Acquisition Proposal, (iii) a tender offer or exchange offer for Voting

Company tender their Voting Securities in such tender or exchange offer or (b)
states that it is neutral with respect to such tender or exchange offer, or (iv)
a Change of Control occurs;

          (C) by the Purchaser if the Board of Directors determines not to give,
withdraws, modifies or changes its approval or recommendation of the sale of the
Shares to the Purchaser or any of the other matters contemplated by Sections
3.1.2, 3.1.3 and 3.1.4;

          (D) by the Purchaser or the Company if the Shareholder Meeting is held
to consider the transactions contemplated hereby and the shareholders fail to

                                       28
<PAGE>
 
approve the sale of the Shares to the Purchaser or any of the other matters
contemplated by Sections 3.1.2 and 3.1.4;

          (E) by the Purchaser if there has been a material breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this
Agreement, which breach is incurable or has not been cured by the Company within
30 days after written notice from the Purchaser; provided, however, that no
                                                 --------  -------         
pending or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation questioning the
validity of this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or any action to
be taken pursuant hereto or thereto or seeking to enjoin consummation of any of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, shall give the Purchaser any
right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(E) except as set forth
in paragraph (J) below;

          (F) by the Company if there has been a material breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Purchaser contained in

          (G) by the Purchaser if any one or more of the conditions to the

          (J) by the Company or the Purchaser, if any judgment, injunction,
order or decree enjoining the Company or the Purchaser from consummating the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement is entered and such judgment,
injunction, order or decree becomes final and nonappealable; provided, however,
                                                             --------  ------- 
that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement must use all reasonable
efforts to remove such judgment, injunction, order or decree; and

          (K) by mutual written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.

       9.2  Fees and Expenses.
            ----------------- 

          (A) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(A), (B),
(C), (D), (E), (G), (I) or (J), then the Company shall promptly, but in no event
later than one business day after the date of termination of this Agreement, pay
the Purchaser a termination fee of $250,000 and reimburse the Purchaser for all
of the Transaction Expenses of the Purchaser and its Affiliates (up to a maximum
amount of $400,000); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection
                     --------                                                   
with this Section 9.2(A) only, with respect to a termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.1(I) or (J), if the facts or circumstances giving rise to
the right of a party to terminate this Agreement pursuant to either such Section
were beyond the reasonable control of the Company, then the Company shall not be
obligated to pay to the Purchaser the $250,000 termination fee provided for in
this Section 9.2(A).

                                       29
<PAGE>
 
          (B) In the event that prior to November 6, 1996 the Company
consummates any transaction described in the definition of "Acquisition
Proposal" or a series of such transactions or consummates a Successor
Transaction, then the Company shall pay to the Purchaser a termination fee, not
to exceed $750,000 equal to (x) 5% of the aggregate consideration (which shall
not include the proceeds of loans made to, or debt securities issued by, the
Company in connection with such transaction unless such loans or debt securities
are convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities or are issued
together with equity securities or warrants or similar rights to acquire equity
securities) received by the Company or its shareholders in any such transaction
or series of transactions if such consideration is received on or prior to May
6, 1996 and (y) 2-1/2% of the aggregate consideration received by the Company or
its shareholders after May 6, 1996 and on or prior to November 6, 1996.

          (C) If (B) is applicable, the Purchaser may elect to receive all or a
portion of the termination fee in the form of Class A Common Stock valued at
$1.10 per share (the "Valuation Price").  The following provisions shall be
applicable to such election:

            (i) The Purchaser shall make its election within 30 days of the
consummation of the transaction giving rise to the termination fee, by giving
notice to the Company (the "Election Notice") of the Purchaser's election to
receive all or a portion of the termination fee in the form of Class A Common
Stock and the number of shares so elected ("Stock Election") or to receive the
termination fee entirely in cash.  In the absence of any election Notice, the
Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to receive the termination fee
entirely in cash.

            (ii) If the Stock Election is made, the Company shall deliver to the
Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares
referred to in the Stock Election, and the remainder of the termination fee in
cash.

            (iii) Prior to the issuance of the shares pursuant to the Stock
Election, the Company shall have taken all necessary corporate action to
authorize the issuance of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to
the Stock Election, all of which, upon such issuance and delivery will be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to any
preemptive rights or options or other rights of any kind.

            (iv) The Purchaser will acquire the shares issued pursuant to the
Stock Election for investment purposes only and not with a view to any public
resale or distribution thereof in violation of, and will not sell any such
shares except in compliance with, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act").  If the Company effects a registration of Class A Common Stock for
its own account or for any other shareholder of the Company (other than on Form
S-4 or Form S-8, or any successor form), it shall allow the Purchaser to
participate in such registration; provided, however, that if the managing
underwriters in such offering advise the Company in writing that in their
opinion the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, the Company
will include the securities requested to be included therein pro rata among the
holders requesting to be included.  Such registration shall be effected at the
Company's expense, except for underwriting discounts and commissions, and fees
and expenses of the Purchaser's counsel.

                                       30
<PAGE>
 
          (v) In the event of any change in the number of issued and outstanding
shares of Class A Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, split-up,
merger, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or other change in the
capital stock of the Company, the number and kind of shares referred to in the
Stock Election and the Valuation Price shall be appropriately adjusted to
restore to the Purchaser its rights to the termination fee.

          (D) In the event that any party (the "plaintiff") brings a legal
action against any other party (the "defendant") for the collection of any
termination fees or Transaction Expenses under this Section 9.2 and thereafter
the plaintiff collects any portion of such fees or Transactions Expenses from
the defendant, the defendant shall also reimburse the plaintiff for all out-of-
pocket costs, fees and expenses, including, without limitation, the fees and
disbursements of counsel and the expenses of litigation, incurred by the
plaintiff in connection with such legal action.

          (E) All amounts payable in cash under this Section 9.2 shall be paid
in immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the
relevant party.

          9.3  Effect of Termination.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant
               ---------------------                                           
to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect with no
liability on the part of any party hereto, except (A) to the extent such
termination results from the breach by a party hereto of any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this
Agreement, then such party shall be required to pay only the liquidated damages
specified in Section 9.2 and (B) that the representation contained in Section
4.25 (Finder's Fee) and the covenants and agreements contained in Sections
6.4(B) (Confidentiality), 6.5 (Publicity), 8.1 (Indemnification), 8.2, 9.2
(Termination), 9.3 and 10 shall survive the termination hereof.

     10.  MISCELLANEOUS.

          10.1  Performance; Waiver.  The provisions of this Agreement may be
                -------------------                                          
modified or amended, and waivers and consents to the performance and observance
of the terms hereof may be given by written instrument executed and delivered by
(A) prior to the Closing, the Company and the Purchaser and (B) after the
Closing, (i) with respect to this Section 10.1, the Company (with the approval
of a majority of the Disinterested Directors who are not partners of the
Purchaser, or the Purchaser General Partner or officers, directors or employees
of any of the foregoing and including in such majority one Unaffiliated
Director), and (ii) with respect to all other Sections of this Agreement, the
Company (with the approval of a majority of the Disinterested Directors) and the
Purchaser.  The failure at any time to require performance of any provision
hereof shall in no way affect the full right to require such performance at any
time thereafter (unless performance thereof has been waived in accordance with
the terms hereof for all purposes and at all times by the parties to whom the
benefit of such performance is to be rendered).  The waiver by any party to this
Agreement of a breach of any provision hereof shall not be taken or held to be a
waiver of any succeeding breach of such provision or any other provision or as a
waiver of the provision itself unless the waiver specifically so states.

          10.2  Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and agreements contained
                ----------------------                                         
in this Agreement by or on behalf of the parties hereto shall bind, and inure
the benefit of, the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto;
                                                                            
provided, however, that the rights and obligations of either party hereto may
- --------  -------                                                            
not be assigned (other than by the Purchaser to an Affiliate of the Purchaser )
without the prior written consent of the other party.  Each such assignment

                                       31
<PAGE>
 
shall be made by such assignee and assignor, as the case may be, and the Company
executing an agreement pursuant to which the assignee shall expressly agree to
become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

Basic Rent.  Lessor hereby waives any Event of Default under the Lease Agreement
arising solely from Lessee's failure to pay the Unpaid Rent; further provided

and remedies under Section 14A of the Lease.

     2.   Lessee hereby confirms its agreement to pay to Lessor Basic Rent
(including Deferred Basic Rent) and Supplemental Rent for the Aircraft
throughout the Term in accordance with Section 3 of the Lease Agreement.
