TRUST ACCOUNTS; CONTROLLING PARTY
SECTION 2.1. Agreement to Terms of Subordination; Payments from Monies Received Only.
(a) Each Trustee hereby acknowledges and agrees to the terms of subordination and distribution set forth in this Agreement in respect of each Class of Certificates and agrees to enforce such provisions and cause all payments in respect of the Equipment Notes held by the Subordination Agent to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each Trustee hereby agrees to cause the Equipment Notes purchased by the related Trust to be registered in the name of the Subordination Agent or its nominee, as agent and trustee for such Trustee, to be held in trust by the Subordination Agent solely for the purpose of facilitating the enforcement of the subordination and other provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the next succeeding sentence of this Section 2.1(b), all payments to be made by the Subordination Agent hereunder shall be made only from amounts received by it that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments, payments under Section 8.1 of the Participation Agreements, or payments under Section 6 of the Note Purchase Agreement, and only to the extent that the Subordination Agent shall have received sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable it to make such payments in
14
accordance with the terms hereof. Each of the Trustees and the Subordination Agent hereby agrees and, as provided in each Trust Agreement, each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, has agreed to look solely to such amounts to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in this Agreement and that none of the Trustees, the Loan Trustees nor the Subordination Agent is personally liable to any of them for any amounts payable or any liability under this Agreement, any Trust Agreement, or such Certificate, except (in the case of the Subordination Agent) as expressly provided herein or (in the case of the Trustees) as expressly provided in each Trust Agreement or (in the case of the Loan Trustees) as expressly provided in any Operative Agreement.
SECTION 2.2. Trust Accounts.
(a) Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Subordination Agent shall establish and maintain in its name (i) the Collection Account as an Eligible Deposit Account, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Trustees and the Certificateholders and (ii) as a sub-account in the Collection Account, the Special Payments Account as an Eligible Deposit Account, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Trustees and the Certificateholders. The Special Payments Account and the Collection Account constitute the “Trust Accounts” hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, all monies credited to the Trust Accounts shall be, and shall remain, the property of the relevant Trust(s).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested and reinvested by the Subordination Agent in Eligible Investments selected by the Subordination Agent if such investments are reasonably available and have maturities no later than the earlier of (i) 90 days following the date of such investment and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the Regular Distribution Date or the date of the related distribution pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, as the case may be, next following the date of such investment; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Triggering Event, the Subordination Agent shall invest and reinvest such amounts in Eligible Investments in accordance with the written instructions of the Controlling Party. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any Investment Earnings shall be deposited in the Collection Account when received by the Subordination Agent and shall be applied by the Subordination Agent in the same manner as the other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account are to be applied and any losses shall be charged against the principal amount invested, in each case net of the Subordination Agent’s reasonable fees and expenses in making such investments. The Subordination Agent shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any investment, reinvestment or liquidation required to be made under this Agreement other than by reason of its willful misconduct or gross negligence (or, with respect to the handling or transfer of funds, its own negligence). Eligible Investments and any other investment required to be made hereunder shall be held to their maturities except that any such investment may be sold (without regard to its maturity) by the Subordination Agent without instructions whenever such sale is necessary to make a distribution required under this Agreement. Uninvested funds held hereunder shall not earn or accrue interest.
(c) The Subordination Agent shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including
15
all income thereon, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3.3(b) with respect to Investment Earnings). The Trust Accounts shall be held in trust by the Subordination Agent under the sole dominion and control of the Subordination Agent for the benefit of the Trustees or the Certificateholders, as the case may be. If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Subordination Agent shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, for which a Ratings Confirmation for each Class of Certificates shall have been obtained) establish a new Collection Account or Special Payments Account, as the case may be, as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Collection Account or Special Payments Account, as the case may be. So long as WTNA is an Eligible Institution, the Trust Accounts shall be maintained with it as Eligible Deposit Accounts.

(a) The Subordination Agent shall, upon receipt thereof, deposit in the Collection Account all Scheduled Payments received by it.
(b) The Subordination Agent shall, on each date when one or more Special Payments are made to the Subordination Agent as holder of the Equipment Notes, deposit in the Special Payments Account the aggregate amount of such Special Payments.

The Subordination Agent shall promptly calculate the amount of the redemption or purchase of Equipment Notes, the amount of any Overdue Scheduled Payment or the proceeds of Equipment Notes or Collateral, as the case may be, comprising such Special Payment under the applicable Indenture or Indentures and shall promptly send to each Trustee a Written Notice of such amount and the amount allocable to each Trust. Such Written Notice shall also set the distribution date for such Special Payment (a “Special Distribution Date”), which shall be the Business Day which immediately follows the later to occur of (x) the 15th day after the date of such Written Notice and (y) the date the Subordination Agent has received or expects to receive such Special Payment.

EXERCISE OF REMEDIES
SECTION 4.1. Directions from the Controlling Party.
(a) (i) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall direct the Subordination Agent, as the holder of Equipment Notes issued under such Indenture, which in turn shall direct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture, in the exercise of remedies available to the holder of such Equipment Notes, including, without limitation, the ability to vote all such Equipment Notes held by the Subordination Agent in favor of Accelerating such Equipment Notes in accordance with the provisions of such Indenture. If the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture and held by the Subordination Agent have been Accelerated following an Indenture Default with respect thereto, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver all (but not less than all) of such Equipment Notes to any Person at public or private sale, at any location at the option of the Controlling Party, all upon such terms and conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable in accordance with applicable law.
22
(ii) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Default under any Indenture, in the exercise of remedies pursuant to such Indenture, the Loan Trustee under such Indenture may be directed to lease the related Aircraft to any Person (including Hawaiian) so long as the Loan Trustee in doing so acts in a “commercially reasonable” manner within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction (including Sections 9-610 and 9-627 thereof).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Certificates remain Outstanding, during the period ending on the date which is nine months after the earlier of (x) the Acceleration of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture and (y) the occurrence of a Hawaiian Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of each Trustee, no Aircraft subject to the Lien of such Indenture or such Equipment Notes may be sold if the net proceeds from such sale would be less than the Minimum Sale Price for such Aircraft or such Equipment Notes.
(iv) Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Indenture Default under any Indenture, the Subordination Agent will obtain three desktop appraisals from the Appraisers selected by the Controlling Party setting forth the current market value, current lease rate and distressed value (in each case, as defined by the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading or any successor organization) of the Aircraft subject to such Indenture (each such appraisal, an “Appraisal” and the current market value appraisals being referred to herein as the “Post-Default Appraisals”). For so long as any Indenture Default shall be continuing under any Indenture, and without limiting the right of the Controlling Party to request more frequent Appraisals, the Subordination Agent will obtain updated Appraisals on the date that is 364 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal (or if a Hawaiian Bankruptcy Event shall have occurred and is continuing, on the date that is 180 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal).
(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Indenture Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall take such actions as it may reasonably deem most effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of the relevant Aircraft or Equipment Notes. In addition, in lieu of any sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, the Controlling Party may maintain or cause the Subordination Agent to maintain possession of such Equipment Notes and continue to apply monies received in respect of such Equipment Notes in accordance with Article III hereof. In addition, in lieu of such sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, or in lieu of such maintenance of possession, the Controlling Party may, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Indenture, instruct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture to foreclose on the Lien on the related Aircraft or to take any other remedial action permitted under such Indenture or under any applicable law.
(c) If following a Hawaiian Bankruptcy Event and during the pendency thereof, the Controlling Party receives a proposal from or on behalf of Hawaiian to restructure the financing of any one or more of the Aircraft, the Controlling Party shall promptly thereafter give the Subordination Agent and each Trustee notice of the material economic terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal whereupon the Subordination Agent acting on behalf of each Trustee shall endeavor using reasonable commercial efforts to make such terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal available to all Certificateholders. Thereafter, neither
23
the Subordination Agent nor any Trustee, whether acting on instructions of the Controlling Party or otherwise, may, without the consent of each Trustee, enter into any term sheet, stipulation or other agreement (whether in the form of an adequate protection stipulation, an extension under Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) to effect any such restructuring proposal with or on behalf of Hawaiian unless and until the material economic terms and conditions of such restructuring shall have been made available to all Certificateholders for a period of not less than 15 calendar days (except that such requirement shall not apply to any such term sheet, stipulation or other agreement that is entered into on or prior to the expiry of the 60-Day Period and that is effective for a period not longer than three months from the expiry of the 60-Day Period). In the event that any Class B Certificateholder or Additional Certificateholder gives irrevocable notice of the exercise of its right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Class of Certificates represented by the then Controlling Party pursuant to the applicable Trust Agreement prior to the expiry of the 15-day notice period specified above, such Controlling Party may not direct the Subordination Agent or any Trustee to enter into any such restructuring proposal with respect to any of the Aircraft unless and until such Certificateholder shall fail to purchase such Class of Certificates on the date that it is required to make such purchase.
SECTION 4.2. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy given to the Trustees, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may, subject always to the terms and conditions hereof, be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by any Trustee, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent, as appropriate, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy.
