10.           Counterpart Execution.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.  Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Amendment, but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment.

 

11.           Effect on Loan Documents.

 

(a)           The Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and each of the other Loan Documents, as amended as of the date hereof, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and hereby are ratified and confirmed in all respects.  The execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate, except as expressly set forth herein, as a waiver of, consent to, or a modification or amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Except for the amendments to the Credit Agreement expressly set forth herein, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.  The amendments, consents, waivers and modifications set forth herein are limited to the specified hereof, shall not apply with respect to any facts or occurrences other than those on which the same are based, shall neither excuse future non-compliance with the Loan Documents nor operate as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, shall not operate as a consent to any further or other matter under the Loan Documents and shall not be construed as an indication that any future waiver of covenants or any other provision of the Credit Agreement will be agreed to, it being understood that the granting or denying of any waiver which may hereafter be requested by Borrower remains in the sole and absolute discretion of the Agent and the Lenders.

 

(b)           Upon and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “herein”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “therein”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified and amended hereby.

 

(c)           This Amendment is a Loan Document.

 

(d)           Unless the context of this Amendment clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”.  The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereby”, “hereunder”, and similar terms in this Amendment refer to this Amendment as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Amendment.  Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Amendment unless otherwise specified.  Any reference in this Amendment to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein).  The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts, and contract rights.  Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns.

 

12.           Entire Agreement.  This Amendment, and the terms and provisions hereof, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters amended hereby and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous amendments or understandings with respect to the matters amended hereby, whether express or implied, oral or written.

13.           Reaffirmation of Obligations.  Each of Parent and Borrower hereby reaffirms its obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a party.  Each of Parent and Borrower hereby further ratifies, reaffirms, acknowledges, agrees, and confirms the validity and enforceability of all of the Liens and security interests granted, pursuant to and in connection with the Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, to Agent, as collateral security for the Obligations under the Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms, and acknowledges that all of such Liens and security interests, and all Collateral heretofore pledged as security for such Obligations, continue to be and remain collateral for such Obligations from and after the date hereof.

 

14.           Ratification.  Each of Parent and Borrower hereby restates, ratifies and reaffirms each and every term and condition set forth in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents effective as of the date hereof and as amended hereby.

 

15.           Severability.  In case any provision in this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the remainder of this Amendment and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Exhibit A

 

REAFFIRMATION AND CONSENT

 

All capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the lenders identified on the signature pages thereof (such lenders, together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, are referred to hereinafter as a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”), WELLS FARGO CAPITAL FINANCE, INC., a California corporation, as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Agent”), HAWAIIAN HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and HAWAIIAN AIRLINES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”).  Reference is made to that certain Amendment Number Three to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2011 (the “Amendment”), by and among Parent, Borrower, Agent and the Lenders signatory thereto.  The undersigned Guarantor hereby (a) represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders that the execution, delivery, and performance of this Reaffirmation and Consent (i) are within its powers, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary action, (iii) do not and will not (A) violate any material provision of federal, state or local law or regulation applicable to it, the Governing Documents of it, or any material order, judgment or decree of any court or other Governmental Authority binding on it or its Subsidiaries, (B) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Material Contract of such Guarantor except to the extent such conflict, breach or default could not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change, (C) require any registration with, consent, or approval of, or notice to, or other action with or by, any Governmental Authority, other than notices and filings as may be required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (D) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien of any nature whatsoever upon any properties or assets of such Guarantor, other than Permitted Liens, or (E) require any approval of its interestholders or any approval or consent of any Person under any Material Contract of such Guarantor, other than consents or approvals that have been obtained and that are still in force and effect and except, in the case of Material Contracts, for consents or approvals, the failure to obtain could not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change; (b) consents to the amendment of the Credit Agreement as set forth in the Amendment and any waivers granted therein, and agrees to the terms of the release set forth in Section 8 thereof; (c) acknowledges, ratifies, and reaffirms its obligations owing to the Agent and the Lenders under any Loan Document to which it is a party; (d) agrees that each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party is and shall remain in full force and effect, as amended by the Amendment; and (e) reaffirms, acknowledges, agrees and confirms that is has granted to Agent a perfected security interest in the Collateral in order to secure all of its present and future Guarantied Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) and acknowledges and agrees that such security interest, and all Collateral heretofore pledged as security for the Obligations, continue to be and remain in full force and effect on and after the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the undersigned hereby restates, ratifies and reaffirms each and every term and condition set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party effective as of the date hereof.  All Obligations owing by each of the undersigned are unconditionally owing by such Person to Agent and the Lenders, without offset, defense, withholding, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, nature or description whatsoever.   Although each of the undersigned has been informed of the matters set forth herein and has acknowledged and agreed to same, they each understand that neither Agent nor any Lender has any obligations to inform it of such matters in the future or to seek its acknowledgment or agreement to future amendments, and nothing herein shall create such a duty.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Reaffirmation and Consent by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Reaffirmation and Consent.  Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Reaffirmation and Consent by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Reaffirmation and Consent but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Reaffirmation and Consent.  The validity of this Reaffirmation and Consent, its construction, interpretation and enforcement, and the rights of the parties hereunder, shall be determined under, governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.  This Reaffirmation and Consent is a Loan Document.
