        (e)   None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

        (f)   The citizenship of RC Aviation and RC Management are as set forth above. The citizenship of Hershfield is the United States of America.

Item 3.     Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

        The consideration for such purchase was obtained from the working capital of RC Aviation. The working capital of RC Aviation was raised from the various investors set forth below (the “Investors”) for the purpose of acquiring the Common Stock.

        On June 11, 2004, the operating agreement governing the operation and management of RC Aviation was executed by RC Aviation and the Investors (the “Operating Agreement”), and the following Investors contributed funds to the working capital of RC Aviation: QVT Fund LP; Whitebox Convertible Arbitrage Partners, LP; Whitebox Hedged High Yield Partners, LP; Pandora Select Partners, LP; Whitebox Intermarket Partners, LP; Guggenheim Portfolio Co. XXXI, LLC; River Run Senior Income Fund, LLC; Litespeed Master Fund, LPD; Watershed Capital Partners, L.P.; Watershed Capital Institutional Partners, LP; Watershed Capital Partners (Offshore), Ltd.; Greenwich International Ltd.; Sagamore Hill Hub Fund Limited; Lonestar Partners, L.P.; Triage Capital Management, L.P.; and Gryphon Master Fund, L.P.

Schedule 13D


        Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, RC Management is vested with exclusive right and authority to manage and control the business of RC Aviation, subject to member approval of certain major transactions. The Operating Agreement provides that RC Management may only be removed as the managing member of RC Aviation for fraud, willful neglect, or gross or reckless misconduct which, in each case, causes material harm to the RC Aviation.

        The Operating Agreement obligates RC Aviation to distribute ninety percent (90%) of the Common Stock to the Investors on a pro rata basis as soon as practicable following the date upon which the plan of reorganization of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. in connection with such entity’s bankruptcy proceedings shall have become effective and final (and all conditions subsequent thereto have been satisfied); provided, however, that each such Investor shall at that time execute an irrevocable proxy with respect to such Common Stock in favor of RC Aviation or otherwise agree to vote such Common Stock as directed by RC Aviation such that RC Aviation shall retain voting control over such Common Stock for so long as such Investor holds such Common Stock.

        In addition, RC Aviation and each Investor have executed a Stockholders Agreement (the “RC Aviation Stockholders Agreement”) which provides that in the event RC Aviation agrees to sell all, but not less than all, of the Common Stock then held by it to an unaffiliated third party, it may require each Investor to sell all, but not less than all, of the Common Stock received by such investor through the distribution described in the preceding paragraph and which is still then held by such Investor in such transaction. Further, the RC Aviation Stockholders Agreement provides that if RC Aviation agrees to sell all, but not less than all, of the Common Stock then held by it to an unaffiliated third party, then each Investor who then holds Common Stock shall have the right to participate in such sale up to such Investor’s pro rata portion of Common Stock.

        Upon the sale or transfer of Common Stock by RC Aviation or any Investor to any unaffiliated third party, the rights and obligations with respect to such Common Stock as set forth in the Operating Agreement and the RC Aviation Stockholders Agreement shall no longer have any force or effect.

Item 4.     Purpose of the Transaction.

        The Company is a holding company that conducts its operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary filed for bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Hawaii on March 21, 2003 (the “Bankruptcy Proceeding”).

        RC Aviation LLC is a Delaware LLC recently formed for the purpose of acquiring a substantial equity interest in the Company in order to obtain the opportunity to profit from an investment in the Company and the Subsidiary and to have a significant influence on the plan of reorganization in the Bankruptcy Proceeding and on the direction and management of the Company and the Subsidiary after confirmation of a plan of reorganization in the Bankruptcy Proceeding.

        The Operating Agreement obligates RC Aviation to distribute ninety percent (90%) of the Common Stock to the Investors on a pro rata basis as soon as practicable following the date upon which the plan of reorganization in the Bankruptcy Proceeding shall have become effective and final (and all conditions subsequent thereto have been satisfied); provided, however, that each such Investor shall at that time execute an irrevocable proxy with respect to such Common Stock in favor of RC Aviation or otherwise agree to vote such Common Stock as directed by RC Aviation such that RC Aviation shall retain voting control over such Common Stock for so long as such Investor holds such Common Stock.

Schedule 13D


        In addition, the Company’s board of directors currently consists of four members. RC Aviation intends to effect a change in the composition of the Company’s board of directors such that the Company’s board of directors will be comprised of three members, two of whom will be nominated by RC Aviation and one of whom will be a director currently serving on the Company’s board of directors.

        In an effort to protect RC Aviation’s investment, as well as to maximize Investor value, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares of the Company’s capital stock, or dispose of all or some of these shares of capital stock from time to time, including without limitation the Common Stock, in each case in open market transactions, block sales or purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, or RC Aviation may continue to hold any such shares of capital stock, including, without limitation, the Common Stock, depending on business and market conditions, its continuing evaluation of the business and prospects of the Company and the Subsidiary and other factors.

        Other than as set forth above in this Item 4, no Reporting Persons has any existing plan or proposal which relates to or would result in any of the matters enumerated in clauses (a) through (j), inclusive of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

        However, the Reporting Persons may in the future engage in and may plan for their engagement in:

        (a)   the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company or the disposition of securities of the Company;

        (b)   an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

        (c)   a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

        (d)   any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

        (e)   any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company;

        (f)   any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure;

        (g)   changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition or control of the Company by any person;

Schedule 13D


        (h)   causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

        (i)   a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or

        (j)   any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

        Any future decision of the Reporting Persons to take any such actions with respect to the Company or the Subsidiary or their respective securities will take into account various factors, including the prospects of the Company and Subsidiary, general market and economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant.

In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof, (i) the Indemnified Party against which such Claim has been asserted shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf of, at the expense of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, all witnesses, records, materials and Information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party.

          (iii)    Settlement of Claims. Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall, without the written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (A) settle or compromise any Claims or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, as applicable, of a written release from all liability in respect of such Claim of all Indemnified Parties affected by such Claim or (B) settle or compromise any Claim if the settlement imposes equitable remedies or material obligations on the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, as applicable, other than financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as applicable, will be indemnified hereunder. No Claim which is being defended in good faith by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be settled or compromised by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as applicable, without the written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

All such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted under conditions that will not unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of such Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will not, and shall require that its Representatives do not, use (except in connection with such Claim Notice) or disclose to any third person other than the Indemnifying Party’s Representatives (except as may be required by Applicable Law) any Information obtained pursuant to this Section 8.2(f) which is designated as confidential by an Indemnified Party.

5


        (a)    If at any time after the Effective Date but prior to the earlier of the registration of the Common Stock owned by AIP or when that Common Stock becomes freely tradeable, AIP has a bona fide intent to complete a Transfer with respect to any shares of Common Stock owned by AIP, AIP shall first give the Buyer a right of first offer to purchase the shares of Common Stock that AIP wishes to Transfer. AIP shall do so by notifying Larry Hershfield (an “Intention to Sell”) of AIP’s intention to Transfer its shares of Common Stock. Thereafter, AIP shall negotiate in good faith for the sale of its shares of Common Stock with the Buyer for a period of twenty-four (24) hours. During the twenty-four (24) hour period following receipt of the Intention to Sell, AIP shall not engage in any discussions, written or oral, regarding the Transfer of its shares of Common Stock with any other person or entity. If at the end of the twenty-four (24) hour period after receipt of the Intention to Sell, the parties have been unable to reach agreement as to the terms of such purchase, AIP shall be free to negotiate with third parties for the sale of such shares of Common Stock, and subject to Section 3.3 below hereof, may enter into agreements with respect to same. AIP and Buyer shall consummate any purchase of Common Stock agreed upon during the twenty-four (24) hour period within three (3) days of such agreement to purchase;

        (b)     If at any time after the earlier of the registration of the Common Stock owned by AIP or when that Common Stock becomes freely tradeable, AIP has a bona fide intent to complete a Transfer with respect to any shares of Common Stock owned by AIP, AIP shall first give the Buyer a right of first offer to purchase the shares of Common Stock that AIP wishes to Transfer. AIP shall do so by notifying Larry Hershfield of AIP’s Intention to Sell. Thereafter, AIP shall negotiate in good faith for the sale of its shares of Common Stock with the Buyer for a period of one (1) hour on sales less than 1,000,000 shares and twenty-four (24) hours on sales of 1,000,000 or more shares (the “3.2(b) Notice Period”). During the 3.2(b) Notice Period, AIP shall not engage in any discussions, written or oral, regarding the Transfer of its shares of Common Stock with any other person or entity. If at the end of the 3.2(b) Notice Period after receipt of the Intention to Sell, the parties have been unable to reach agreement as to the terms of such purchase, AIP shall be free to negotiate with third parties for the sale of 250,000 shares of Common Stock (or such greater number of shares as were subject to the notice of AIP’s Intention to Sell) and may enter into agreements with respect to same. AIP and Buyer shall consummate any purchase of Common Stock agreed upon during the 3.2(b) Notice Period within three (3) days of such agreement to purchase.

6


        3.3     Right of First Refusal. Prior to entering into any Transfer with any potential transferee (a “Transferee”), AIP shall first offer to the Buyer the right to purchase all of the shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred in accordance with the following provisions:

        (a)    If AIP receives (i) a bona fide written offer to purchase all or part of its shares of Common Stock (a “Bona Fide Offer”) from a Transferee that AIP desires to accept, or (ii) a bona fide written acceptance from a Transferee of AIP’s offer to sell all or part of its shares of Common Stock (a “Bona Fide Acceptance”), then AIP shall, not later than two (2) days after receipt of such Bona Fide Offer or Bona Fide Acceptance, deliver written notice thereof (a “First Refusal Notice”) to the Buyer. A First Refusal Notice in respect of any shares of Common Stock shall: (i) identify the Transferee; (ii) state the aggregate purchase price for such shares of Common Stock to be paid by the Transferee (if such purchase price is to be paid by delivery of property other than cash, such price shall be the fair market value of such property and such notice shall state AIP’s estimate of the fair market value of such property); (iii) summarize all material terms and conditions of the Bona Fide Offer or Bona Fide Acceptance and all other transactions and agreements directly or indirectly conditioned upon or otherwise related to the purchase of the shares of Common Stock by the Transferee; and (iv) be accompanied by a certificate of AIP or a duly authorized officer of AIP certifying that the information set forth in the First Refusal Notice is true, correct and complete in all respects to the best of his or her knowledge and that the Bona Fide Offer or Bona Fide Acceptance is a result of arm’s-length offer and has not been made or otherwise effected for the purpose of avoiding, evading, circumventing or otherwise adversely affecting the right of the Buyer to purchase the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.3.

        (b)     For a period of ten (10) days following receipt by the Buyer of a First Refusal Notice (the “First Refusal Period”), the Buyer may elect, by the delivery of written notice of such election to AIP (the “First Refusal Election Notice”) within such First Refusal Period, to purchase all the shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the price set forth in the First Refusal Notice and on the terms and conditions, including the manner of payment, described in the First Refusal Notice and in the accompanying materials. The rights afforded to the Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.3 may be exercised by the Buyer or may be assigned by it to an entity wholly owned by the Buyer, in which case each reference to the Buyer in this Section 3.3 shall be deemed to include such assignee.

7


        (c)    If the Buyer duly and timely delivers a First Refusal Election Notice to AIP in respect of all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the First Refusal Notice during the First Refusal Period, then AIP shall be obligated to sell all such shares of Common Stock to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall be obligated to purchase all such shares of Common Stock from AIP, free and clear of all liens, claims, charges or security interests. The purchase of any shares of Common Stock by the Buyer shall be consummated on or before the twentieth (20th) day after the First Refusal Election Notice is received by AIP or on such other date as AIP and the Buyer may agree.

        (d)    If the Buyer does not duly and timely deliver a First Refusal Election Notice to AIP in respect of any shares of Common Stock, or if the Buyer fails to close such purchase as required by the date set forth in Subsection 3.3 (c), AIP shall have the right to enter into an agreement to sell such shares of Common Stock to the Transferee by a date not later than fifteen (15) Days after (i) the expiration of the First Refusal Period in respect of such shares of Common Stock or (ii) the date of the failure to close such purchase at a price and on terms which are in strict accordance with the price and terms included in the Bona Fide Offer or Bona Fide Acceptance (except for variations in immaterial terms and conditions of the Bona Fide Offer or Bona Fide Acceptance which are neither individually nor in the aggregate more favorable to the Transferee than those originally contained in the Bona Fide Offer or Bona Fide Acceptance).

        3.4     Bring Along Rights.

        (a)    In the event that the Buyer elects to sell (the “Proposed Bring Along Sale”) all or substantially all of its shares of Qualified Common Stock, as defined below, to an unrelated third party (the “Bring Along Purchaser”) on an arm’s-length basis, then AIP shall be required, if so required by the Buyer, to sell all of its shares of Common Stock to the Bring Along Purchaser at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions as the Buyer is selling its shares of Common Stock to the Bring Along Purchaser. Ten (10) days prior to the date set by the Buyer as the date for the Proposed Bring Along Sale, the Buyer shall notify AIP in writing of such offer. The notice (the “Bring Along Notice”) shall set forth: (i) the name of the Bring Along Purchaser; (ii) the proposed amount and form of consideration and terms and conditions offered by the Bring Along Purchaser; and (iii) the proposed closing date for the Proposed Bring Along Sale.

8


        (b)     When the sale closes, AIP shall deliver to the Buyer or the Bring Along Purchaser the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock to be sold, duly endorsed for transfer and accompanied by all requisite stock transfer taxes, if any, against payment of the purchase price therefor, and the shares of Common Stock to be sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to the Proposed Sale free and clear any all liens, pledges, claims, options, proxies, agreements, charges, encumbrances, or interests of any Person or entity whatsoever (other than restrictions imposed pursuant to applicable Federal and state securities laws) and AIP shall so represent and warrant to that fact. AIP shall further represent and warrant that it is the record and beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock and that it has all necessary power and authority to sell the shares of Common Stock. AIP shall also deliver to the Buyer with the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock to be sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to the Proposed Bring Along Sale a limited power of attorney authorizing the Buyer to sell or otherwise dispose of such shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Bring Along Sale.

        (c)     The Buyer shall have thirty (30) days, commencing on the date of the Bring Along Notice, in which to complete the Proposed Bring Along Sale; provided that if the Proposed Bring Along Sale is subject to any prior regulatory approval or consent, the time period during which such Proposed Bring Along Sale may be consummated may be extended until the expiration of ten (10) days after all such approvals and consents shall have been received, but in no event more than ninety (90) days after the Bring Along Notice unless AIP consents to that extension in writing. If at the end of such thirty (30) day period, or such additional period in the event that regulatory approval or consent is required, the Buyer has not completed the Proposed Bring Along Sale, the Buyer shall return to AIP all certificates representing shares of Common Stock which were delivered to the Buyer by AIP, powers of attorney which were delivered for sale in connection with the Proposed Bring Along Sale and any other documents delivered by AIP in connection with the Proposed Bring Along Sale.

9


        (d)     Concurrently with the consummation of the Proposed Bring Along Sale, the Buyer shall notify AIP thereof, and AIP shall receive the consideration for the sale of the shares of Common Stock owned by AIP so purchased directly from the purchaser.

        (e)     AIP shall not be required to participate in any transaction unless the consideration to be received by AIP consists entirely of cash or marketable securities.

        (f) The Buyer shall not be entitled to send more than two Bring Along Notices. After two such Bring Along Notices have been sent, Buyer Bring Along Rights shall be extinguished.

        3.5     Tag Along Rights.

        (a)     If the Buyer agrees to sell Qualified Common Stock, as defined below, then held by it to an unaffiliated purchaser (a “Tag Purchaser”) in a single, arm’s length, privately negotiated transaction (e.g., this Section shall not apply to any public sales pursuant to registration statement), or in a series of related such transactions, and elects not to exercise its Bring Along rights set forth in Section 3.4 of this Agreement (a “Proposed Tag Sale”), then the Buyer shall deliver notice to AIP (the “Sales Notice”) of its intent to sell or otherwise transfer the applicable Qualified Common Stock at least five (5) days prior to such sale or transfer.  The Sales Notice shall state the name of the Tag Purchaser, the number of shares of Qualified Common Stock held by the Buyer proposed to be sold and shall include all material terms of the transaction.  If AIP notifies the Buyer in writing within five (5) days after receipt of the Sales Notice, AIP shall have the right, upon consummation by the Buyer of such sale, to require the

10


Tag Purchaser to purchase from AIP a portion of AIP’s Qualified Common Stock (such portion determined as described below) on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Sales Notice.  To the extent AIP and one or more members of the Buyer (AIP and those selling members being referred to herein as “Selling Holders”) exercise their respective rights of participation, the number of shares of Qualified Common Stock that the Buyer may sell shall be correspondingly reduced.  Each Selling Holder may sell all or any part of that number of shares of Qualified Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Qualified Common Stock covered by the Sales Notice by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Qualified Common Stock owned by the Selling Holder on the date of the Sales Notice and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Qualified Common Stock owned the Buyer plus the number of shares of Qualified Common Stock held by all of the Selling Holders on the date of the Sales Notice.  AIP shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly entering into any purchase agreement, transfer agreement or other agreement necessary to consummate such transaction or delivering to the Buyer certificates evidencing the applicable Qualified Common Stock duly endorsed for transfer to the purchaser of such Qualified Common Stock as set forth in the Sales Notice.  To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers refuses to purchase Qualified Common Stock from AIP, the Buyer shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Qualified Common Stock unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Buyer purchases such shares or other Qualified Common Stock from AIP for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Sales Notice.

        (b)     For purposes of this Section “Qualified Common Stock” is limited to the following shares owned by the Buyer or its members or AIP as of the date of the Sales Notice: (i) the 10,000,000 shares bought by Buyer from AIP under the Stock Purchase Agreement, (ii) the 4,159,403 shares retained by AIP immediately after the closing of the sale pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, and (iii) any shares of Common Stock acquired by AIP, the Buyer or the members of the Buyer pursuant to Section 4.3 of this Agreement.

11


        (c)     The Buyer shall have up to thirty (30) days after the Sales Notice is received in which to sell the shares of Qualified Common Stock owned by Buyer and its members and by AIP, if AIP has elected to sell pursuant to this Section, at a price and on terms not materially different from that contained in the Sales Notice. If at the end of such thirty (30)-day period the Buyer have not completed the sale, the Buyer shall remain bound by all the restrictions on transfer contained in this Agreement, including this Section 3.5.

        (d) For purposes of this Section 3.5, “Applicable Terms and Conditions” shall mean (A) with respect to a single transaction, the same terms and conditions as those received by the Buyer in such transaction, (B) with respect to a series of related transactions, the best of the terms and conditions received by the Buyer in such transactions or (C) with respect to a series of unrelated transactions, the terms and conditions of the latest applicable transaction received by the Buyer in such transaction in respect of which a Tag Along Acceptance Notice was sent.

        3.6     No Liability Upon Non-Sale. Notwithstanding anything contained in this of Article 3, there shall be no liability on the part of the Buyer or its members to AIP in the event that any sale that triggers the provisions of Sections 3.4 and 3.5 is not consummated for whatever reason. Whether such sale is effected is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Buyer.

        3.7     Expiration of Rights.

        (a)     The right of first offer provided to the Buyer in Section 3.2 hereof shall expire on a date which is twelve months (12) after the Effective Date.

        (b) The right of first refusal provided to the Buyer in Section 3.3 shall expire on the Effective Date.

        (c) The rights of the Buyer to require AIP to sell its shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof shall expire when either Buyer or AIP and its Affiliates no longer hold any Equity Security.

        (d) The rights of AIP to be offered an opportunity to sell all or a portion of its shares of Qualified Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof shall expire when either Buyer or AIP no longer holds any Qualified Common Stock.

12


        3.8     Share Legend. Prior to the Effective Date, each stock certificate representing all Shares of Qualified Common Stock held by AIP and Buyer shall have conspicuously endorsed on its face or reverse side the following statement:

  THE OWNERSHIP, SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT, OR HYPOTHECATION OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS RESTRICTED BY THE PROVISIONS OF AN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN RC AVIATION AND AIP, LLC, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE INSPECTED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF HHI, AND ALL THE PROVISIONS OF WHICH ARE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN THIS CERTIFICATE.

On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as each holder of Qualified Common Stock delivers to HHI the original certificate, AIP and Buyer shall cooperate to cause HHI to issue new certificates which do not bear this legend.

ARTICLE 4

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

        4.1 Plan Support: Provided that there is a plan of reorganization (“Plan”) proposed in the Chapter 11 Case by Buyer or HHI, and provided further that such Plan does not propose a treatment of AIP’s continuing interest as a shareholder of Common Stock of HHI which differs from the treatment proposed in the Plan to be accorded to the interest of Buyer or its Members or Affiliates that own HHI stock as a shareholder of Common Stock of HHI, then absent the written consent of Buyer to any action or inaction of AIP inconsistent with or contrary to the following, AIP shall (a) not take any action to oppose or interfere with confirmation or consummation of any such Plan, (b) if requested by the Buyer, vote all of its claims against, and interests in, the Debtor in support of such Plan, (c) take commercially reasonable steps to support confirmation and consummation of such Plan; and (d) if requested by the Buyer, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause HHI to (i) vote all of its claims against and interests in the Debtor in support of such a Plan and (ii) not take any actions to oppose or interfere with confirmation or consummation of any such Plan. Buyer will not propose, support or vote for a Plan for the Debtor that treats AIP’s continuing interest as a shareholder of Common Stock of HHI in a manner different from the treatment of the interests of the Buyer or its Members or Affiliates that own HHI stock as shareholders of Common Stock of HHI. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer will not propose, support or vote for a Plan for the Debtor that subordinates or invalidates AIP’s claims against or interests in the Debtor or that preserves and provides a mechanism for the prosecution of any claims against AIP or its Affiliates by the Debtor or HHI.

13


        4.2     Registration Rights. Each of Buyer and AIP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of them to be granted by HHI, alternatively, (i) the right to an evergreen shelf registration statement which HHI will cause to remain effective until all of each of AIP’s shares of Common Stock and Buyer’s shares of Common Stock are sold or, until the number of shares of Common Stock then owned by each of them would no longer require registration for resale due to the availability of an exemption from registration under federal and state securities laws, or (ii) one or more demand registration rights in a form to be mutually agreed upon which require HHI, at HHI’s expense, to cause a registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and be declared effective, within a reasonable period of time after the Effective Date of a Plan, with respect to all the shares of Common Stock of HHI owned at such time by Buyer and AIP.

        4.3     Future Capital Contributions. In the event that Buyer or any member of Buyer makes a contribution of capital to HHI for the purpose of funding a Plan for the Debtor, whether in the form of a rights offering, or otherwise, AIP or an Affiliate will have the right, but not the obligation, to also make a contribution on the same terms and conditions as Buyer or such member of Buyer, but on a basis which reflects AIP’s pro rata ownership of shares of Common Stock of HHI Common Stock as compared to the number of shares of Common Stock owned by Buyer at the time of the determination by Buyer or such member of Buyer to make such contribution.

14


        4.4     Indemnification and Expense Reimbursements:

        (a)     Set forth on Schedule 4.4(a) are the amounts that AIP and its Affiliates have expended on (i) on pursuing the reorganization of HAL, (ii) defense costs (including expert fees) relating to the Trustee litigation and the SEC inquiry, (iii) costs associated with HHI’s status as a public company and (iv) costs relating to public relations and other miscellaneous costs. Set forth on Schedule 4.4(b) are the amounts that HHI has expended on (i) on pursuing the reorganization of HAL, (ii) indemnification obligations to current and former directors relating to the Trustee litigation and the SEC inquiry, (iii) costs associated with maintaining HHI’s status as a public company.

        (b)     AIP hereby represents that (i) it or its Affiliates have paid certain items on behalf of HHI and expect to be reimbursed for such expenditures and (ii) HHI has paid certain items for which AIP or its Affiliates were partially responsible, thereby reducing the amount that HHI owes AIP and its Affiliates. Based on the allocation methodology that AIP has previously described to Buyer, AIP believes that HHI owes AIP and its Affiliates an aggregate amount of $1,563,305.08. In addition, HHI owes $41,448.48 to an Affiliate of AIP pursuant to the terms of a promissory note.

        (c)     After the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause HHI to promptly repay any amounts properly payable to AIP or its Affiliates from (a) any insurance proceeds that HHI receives, and (b) any proceeds that HHI receives from the exercise of stock options. After the Effective Date, the Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause HHI to repay any amounts properly payable to AIP or its Affiliates that have yet to be paid in full in the ordinary course of business. The Buyer shall have no obligation to make any capital contributions to HHI to fund any amounts due and owing AIP or its Affiliates; provided, however, Buyer will fund the ongoing operations of HHI, and will not rely on the proceeds of option exercises or insurance proceeds to fund the ongoing operations of HHI, until such time as AIP and its Affiliates have been paid in full.

15


        (d)     AIP and the Buyer will cooperate to obtain payment of any amounts due and owing under HHI’s D&O insurance policies. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver of any defenses that HHI may have to any indemnification claims or a guarantee of any payment by Buyer or HHI.

        (e)     Buyer will use its reasonable best efforts to cause HHI to promptly notify AIP to the extent proceeds are received pursuant the exercise of options or insurance policies.

        4.5     Option. If there is a settlement (prior to the Effective Date of the Debtor’s Plan) of claims against AIP by the Debtor’s estate pursuant to which equity of HHI in the form of Common Stock, or otherwise, is to be issued to AIP, the Buyer shall have the option to purchase 50% of such equity at AIP’s cost. This option will expire on the fifth business day after AIP gives the Buyer written notice that it has obtained the right to purchase such shares and the terms and conditions related thereto.

        4.6     No Changes to Indemnification. Buyer agrees that it shall not take, and shall not cause any Person to take, any action which would retroactively diminish the scope of any existing lawful, and valid and binding obligation of HHI to indemnify any Person with respect to any claim which has arisen prior to the date of this Agreement.

        4.7     Insurance. Buyer agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause HHI to maintain for a period of not less than six (6) years from the date of this Agreement, an officers and directors insurance policy which is intended to provide insurance which provides coverage no less favorable to those officers and directors and former officers and directors of HHI who are presently insured thereunder and with policy limits of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) so long as the annual premium to be paid for such policy does not exceed $900,000 (or the maximum amount of insurance that can be obtained for $900,000). 4.8 Litigation.

16


        (a)     As of the date hereof, neither Buyer nor any of its Members has actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances relating to the Company, HAL, the bankruptcy filed by HAL or the Tender Offer consummated by HAL in June 2002 that would warrant (i) the commencement of any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding (collectively, “Litigation”) against AIP, John W. Adams, Smith Management LLC or their respective Affiliates (the “AIP Parties”) other than the adversary proceeding currently being prosecuted by the Trustee; or (ii) the subordination or invalidation of the Common Stock owned by AIP (in the Bankruptcy Case or otherwise). Therefore, Buyer and it Members agree, solely in their capacity as shareholders of HAL or the Company, not to commence, prosecute, precipitate or substantially assist anyone in commencing or prosecuting any Litigation against the AIP Parties relating to any facts or circumstances of which the Buyer or its Member has actual knowledge which transpired or existed prior to the Closing Date.

        (b)     Buyer represents and warrants that neither Buyer nor any of its Members (i) have any current intention to commence any Litigation against the AIP Parties, (ii) have any current intention to commence, prosecute, precipitate or substantially assist anyone in commencing or prosecuting in any motion, action or proceeding to subordinate or invalidate AIP’s Common Stock, or (iii) have had any discussions with third parties in furtherance of the actions contemplated in clauses (i) and (ii).

        (c)     In the event that Buyer or any of its Members first learns of any facts after the date hereof that would justify the commencement of Litigation against the AIP Parties based on any facts that existed prior to the Buyer’s purchase of Common Stock from AIP, Buyer and its Members agree, with respect to any such Litigation, to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and (b) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer and its Members agree to commence any such action, suit or proceeding either in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County.

        (d)     In the event that (i) Litigation is commenced against the AIP Parties, (ii) such Litigation is successful, and (iii) the Buyer directly receives proceeds as a result of such Litigation, Buyer will remit such proceeds to the AIP Parties; provided, however, that a recovery of proceeds by HAL or the Company shall not obligate Buyer to make any payment hereunder.

        This Stockholders Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June, __ 2004 (the “Effective Date”) by and among RC Aviation LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) and QVT Fund LP (“QVT”), Whitebox Convertible Arbitrage Partners, LP (“WCAP”), Whitebox Hedged High Yield Partners, LP (“WHHY”), Pandora Select Partners, LP (“Pandora”), Whitebox Intermarket Partners, LP (“WIP”), Guggenheim Portfolio Co. XXXI, LLC (“Guggenheim”), River Run Senior Income Fund, LLC (“River Run”), Litespeed Master Fund, Ltd. (“Litespeed”), Watershed Capital Partners, L.P. (“Watershed”), Watershed Capital Institutional Partners, L.P. (“Watershed Capital”), Watershed Capital Partners (Offshore), Ltd. (“Watershed Offshore”), Greenwich International LTD (“Greenwich”), RC Aviation Management, LLC (“RC Aviation”), Lonestar Partners L.P. (“Lonestar”) and Sagamore Hill Hub Fund Limited (“Sagamore”) (QVT, WCAP, WHHY, Pandora, WIP, Guggenheim, River Run, Litespeed, Watershed, Watershed Capital, Watershed Offshore, Greenwich, RC Aviation, Lonestar and Sagamore are also collectively referred to hereunder as theHolders).

        A.     The parties have entered into that certain RC Aviation Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement dated June __, 2004 (the “Operating Agreement”).

        B.     The Company has been formed for the purpose of acquiring, investing in, managing, owning, holding, selling, transferring, exchanging, and/or otherwise disposing of (directly or indirectly) shares of stock, notes, debentures and other similar instruments, and/or other securities or instruments which are exercisable, convertible or exchangeable into or for such shares of stock, notes, debentures and other similar instruments, which, in each case, are issued by Hawaiian Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Securities”).

        C.     Pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Operating Agreement, the Company has covenanted that as soon as is practicable following the date upon which the plan of reorganization for Hawaiian Airlines in connection with Hawaiian Airlines’ bankruptcy proceedings shall have become effective and final (and all conditions subsequent thereto have been satisfied), the Company shall, subject to compliance with Applicable Law, distribute ninety percent (90%) of the Securities then held by the Company to the Holders.

        D.     Pursuant to Section 1.7.5 of the Operating Agreement, the parties hereto have agreed to enter into this Agreement for the purpose of providing the Company with certain drag-along rights and voting rights with respect to the Securities that may be distributed to the Holders in accordance with Section 4.6 of the Operating Agreement (the “Distributed Securities”).

        NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual covenants made herein, the parties hereby agree as follows.

1.    DRAG-ALONG/TAG ALONG RIGHTS.


        1.1.     If the Company agrees to sell all, but not less than all, of a class of Securities then held by it to an unaffiliated purchaser in a single, arm’s length transaction, or in a series of related arm’s length transactions, and holders of a majority in interest of such class of Securities then held by the Company and the Holders of such class of Distributed Securities approve such sale, then the Company shall have the right to require all, but not less than all, of the Holders who then hold such class of Distributed Securities as well as their respective affiliated assignees or transferees, to sell or transfer all, but not less than all, of such Distributed Securities (but no other Securities) then held by such Holders as well as their respective assigns or transferees to such unaffiliated purchaser on the same terms and conditions, and for the same per Security amount and type of consideration to be received by the Company, provided, however that such consideration shall be in the form of cash or marketable securities. In order to effect such drag-along rights, the Company shall deliver notice to each Holder (the “Drag-Along Notice”) of its intent to sell or otherwise transfer the applicable Securities at least ten (10) business days prior to such sale or transfer. Each Holder shall then have such ten (10) day period to approve or disapprove of the transfer in writing. If a Holder fails to respond to the Drag-Along Notice within such ten (10) day period, then such Holder shall be deemed to have approved the sale or other transfer of the Securities in accordance with the terms set forth in the Drag-Along Notice. The Drag-Along Notice shall state the name of the unaffiliated purchaser and shall include all material terms of the transaction. If the transaction is approved in accordance with this Section 1, then the Holders as well as their respective affiliated assignees or transferees shall cooperate in any manner necessary to effect the transaction that is the subject of the Drag-Along Notice, including, without limitation, entering into any purchase agreement, transfer agreement or other agreement necessary to consummate such transaction or delivering to the Company certificates evidencing the applicable Distributed Securities duly endorsed for transfer to the purchaser of such Distributed Securities as set forth in the Drag-Along Notice.

        1.2.     If the Company agrees to sell all, but not less than all, of a class of Securities then held by it to an unaffiliated purchaser in a single, arm’s length, privately negotiated transaction (e.g., this Section 1.2 shall not apply to any public sales pursuant to registration statement, “block” trades, or similar transaction), or in a series of related such transactions, and elects not to exercise its drag-along rights set forth in Section 1.1 of this Agreement, then the Company shall deliver notice to each Holder (the “Sales Notice”) of its intent to sell or otherwise transfer the applicable Securities at least five (5) days prior to such sale or transfer. The Sales Notice shall state the name of the unaffiliated purchaser, the number of Securities held by the Company proposed to be sold and shall include all material terms of the transaction. Each Holder (a “Selling Holder”) which notifies the Company in writing within five (5) days after receipt of the Sales Notice, shall have the right, upon consummation by the Company of such sale, to require the purchaser identified in such Sales Notice to purchase from such Selling Holder a portion of that Selling Holder’s Distributed Securities (such portion determined as described below) of the same class on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Sales Notice. To the extent one or more of the Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Securities that the Company may sell shall be correspondingly reduced. Each Selling Holder may sell all or any part of that number of Distributed Securities equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Securities covered by the Sales Notice by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Distributed Securities owned by the Selling Holder on the date of the Sales Notice and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Securities owned the Company plus the number of Distributed Securities held by all of the Selling Holders on the date of the Sales Notice. Each Selling Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly entering into any purchase agreement, transfer agreement or other agreement necessary to consummate such transaction or delivering to the Company certificates evidencing the applicable Securities duly endorsed for transfer to the purchaser of such Securities as set forth in the Sales Notice. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers refuses to purchase Securities from a Selling Holder exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, the Company shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Securities unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Company purchases such shares or other securities from such Selling Holder for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Sales Notice.

2


        1.3.     To the extent that the Holders have not exercised their rights to participate in the sale of the Securities pursuant to Section 1.2, then the Company shall be free to sell the Securities to such prospective purchaser on the same terms and conditions as outlined in the Sales Notice, and provided that in the event such Securities are not sold within sixty (60) days of the date of the notice, they shall once again be subject to the right of co-sale procedure described above.

2.    IRREVOCABLE PROXY. On the date any Holder receives a distribution of Distributed Securities, such Holder will execute an irrevocable proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A for the purpose of appointing the Manager of the Company as its proxy for voting any voting Distributed Security (but no other Securities) upon any matter put to the vote of the holders of such Distributed Securities.

3.    VOTING AGREEMENT.

        3.1.    Securities Subject to this Section 3. In the event that the proxy executed pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall at any time be deemed revocable or unenforceable under applicable law, then the Holders each agree to hold all Distributed Securities in their respective names or beneficially owned by them as of such date subject to, and to vote such Distributed Securities in accordance with, the provisions of this Section 3.

        3.2.    Voting. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, on all matters put to the vote of holders of Distributed Securities, the Holders agree to vote all Distributed Securities held by them (or the holders thereof shall consent pursuant to an action by written consent of the holders of Distributable Securities) in the same manner as the Securities then held by the Company are voted.

4.    TRANSFER OF SECURITIES. If any Holder proposes to sell or otherwise transfer any Distributed Securities, such Holder (the “Transfering Holder”) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to give to the Company a written notice (the “Selling Holder’s Notice”) stating: (a) the Selling Holder’s intention to transfer such Securities; (b) the number of shares of Distributable Securities proposed to be so transferred; and (c) the proposed per share cash price at which such Holder desires to transfer such Distributed Securities (the “Offered Price”); provided, however, that failure to provide such Selling Holder’s Notice shall not constitute a default under this Agreement nor shall it result in any liability or penalty hereunder. Upon the sale or transfer of Distributed Securities to an unaffiliated third party, this Agreement and each of the rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Distributed Securities.

5.    FURTHER ASSURANCES; ENFORCEMENT. Each of the Holders agree not to vote any Distributed Securities, or to take any other actions, that would in any manner defeat, impair, be inconsistent with or adversely affect the stated intentions of the parties under the express terms of this Agreement.

3


6.    ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT. Each of the Holders acknowledge and agree that any breach by any of them of this Agreement shall cause the Company and each other Holder irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensable by money damages. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a Holder of any provision of this Agreement, the Company and each other Holder shall each be entitled to the remedies of specific performance, injunction or other preliminary or equitable relief, including the right to compel any such breaching Holder, as appropriate, to vote or transfer, as the case may be, such Holder’s Securities in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in addition to such other rights remedies as may be available to the Company or any Holder for any such breach or threatened breach, including but not limited to the recovery of money damages.

7.    TERM. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect until the fifth (5th) annual anniversary of the Effective Date.

8.    GENERAL PROVISIONS.

        8.1.    Notices. Any and all notices required or permitted to be given to a party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement will be in writing and will be effective and deemed to provide such party sufficient notice under this Agreement on the earliest of the following: (i) at the time of personal delivery, if delivery is in person; (ii) at the time of transmission by facsimile, addressed to the other party at its facsimile number specified herein (or hereafter modified by subsequent notice to the parties hereto), with confirmation of receipt made by both telephone and printed confirmation sheet verifying successful transmission of the facsimile; (iii) one (1) business day after deposit with an express overnight courier for United States deliveries, or two (2) business days after such deposit for deliveries outside of the United States, with proof of delivery from the courier requested; or (iv) three (3) business days after deposit in the United States mail by certified mail (return receipt requested) for United States deliveries. All notices for delivery outside the United States will be sent by facsimile or by express courier. Notices by facsimile shall be machine verified as received. All notices not delivered personally or by facsimile will be sent with postage and/or other charges prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified at the address or facsimile number as follows, or at such other address or facsimile number as such other party may designate by one of the indicated means of notice herein to the other parties hereto as follows:

          (a)     if to a Holder, at such Holder’s address set forth on signature page hereto; and

          (b)     if to the Company, marked “Attention: Manager”, at _______________________.

        8.2.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein, together with all the Exhibits hereto, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede any and all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between or among the parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter hereof. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the rights and duties hereunder shall, with respect to the Holders, apply only with respect to their Distributed Securities and not with respect to Securities held by any Holders which are not Distributed Securities.

        8.3.    Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to that body of laws pertaining to conflict of laws.

4


        8.4.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible given the intent of the parties hereto. If such clause or provision cannot be so enforced, such provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall be enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable clause or provision had (to the extent not enforceable) never been contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the value of this Agreement based upon the substantial benefit of the bargain for any party is materially impaired, which determination as made by the presiding court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction shall be binding, then both parties agree to substitute such provision(s) through good faith negotiations.

        8.5.    Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

        8.6.    Successors And Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of their respective successors, assigns, transferees, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

        8.7.    Titles and Headings. The titles, captions and headings of this Agreement are included for ease of reference only and will be disregarded in interpreting or construing this Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically stated, all references herein to “sections” and “exhibits” will mean “sections” and “exhibits” to this Agreement.

        8.8.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

        8.9.    Costs And Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any action, suit or other proceeding is instituted concerning or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereunder, the prevailing party shall recover all of such party’s costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in each such action, suit or other proceeding, including any and all appeals or petitions therefrom.

        8.10.    Aggregation of Stock. All Distributed Securities held or acquired by affiliated entities or persons shall be aggregated together for the purposes of this Agreement.

        8.11.    Further Assurances. The parties agree to execute such further documents and instruments and to take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

        8.12.    Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile and upon such delivery the facsimile signature will be deemed to have the same effect as if the original signature had been delivered to the other party.

        8.13.    Amendment and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement executed by (i) the Company, and (ii) the holders of at least a majority in interest of the Distributed Securities. Any amendment effected in accordance with this section will be binding upon all parties hereto and each of their respective successors and assigns. No delay or failure to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that provision as to that or any other instance.

5


No waiver granted under this Agreement as to any one provision herein shall constitute a subsequent waiver of such provision or of any other provision herein, nor shall it constitute the waiver of any performance other than the actual performance specifically waived.
