any of Shuttle’s or Mokulele’s directors, officers, employees or agents, (ii)
loss of, damage to, or destruction of property (including real, tangible and
intangible property, and specifically including regulatory property such as
route authorities, slots and other landing rights), including any loss of use of
such property, and (iii) damages due to delays in any manner, in each case
arising out of, connected with, or attributable to, (x) the performance,
improper performance, or nonperformance of any and all obligations to be
undertaken by Mokulele or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents
pursuant to this Agreement, (y) the operation, non-operation or improper
operation of Mokulele’s aircraft, equipment or facilities (excluding, for the
avoidance of doubt, Covered Aircraft and any equipment or facilities leased or
subleased by Mokulele to Shuttle) at any location, in each case excluding only
claims, demands, damages, liabilities, suits judgments, actions, causes of
action, losses, costs and expenses to the extent resulting from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Shuttle or its directors, officers, agents
or employees.
Section
7.03 Indemnification
Claims. A party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”)
from another party under the terms of this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”)
shall provide the Indemnifying Party with prompt written notice (an “Indemnity Notice”) of
any third party claim which the Indemnified Party believes gives rise to a claim
for indemnity against the Indemnifying Party hereunder. The
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it accepts financial responsibility for
the third party claim, to control the defense of or to settle any such third
party claim at its own expense and by its own counsel; provided that the Indemnified
Party’s prior written consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) must be obtained prior to settling any such third party
claim. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party
with such information as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request to
defend any such third party claim and shall otherwise cooperate with the
Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such third party
claim. Except as set forth in this Section 7.03, the
Indemnified Party shall not enter into any settlement or other compromise or
consent to a judgment with respect to a third party claim as to which the
Indemnifying Party has an indemnity obligation hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which may not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), and the entering into of any settlement or compromise or
the consent to any judgment in violation of the foregoing shall constitute a
waiver by the Indemnified Party of its right to indemnity hereunder to the
extent the Indemnifying Party was prejudiced thereby. Any
Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party to
the extent that the Indemnifying Party pays for any loss, damage or expense
suffered by the Indemnified Party hereunder. If the Indemnifying
Party does not accept financial responsibility for the third party claim or
fails to defend against the third party claim that is the subject of an
Indemnity Notice within 30 days of receiving such notice (or sooner if the
nature of the third party claim so requires), or otherwise contests its
obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in connection therewith, the
Indemnified Party may, upon providing written notice to the Indemnifying Party,
pay, compromise or defend such third party claim without the prior consent of
the (otherwise) Indemnifying Party. In the latter event, the
Indemnified Party, by proceeding to defend itself or settle the matter, does not
waive any of its rights hereunder to later seek reimbursement from the
Indemnifying Party.
Section
7.04 Employer’s Liability;
Independent Contractors; Waiver of Control
(a) Employer’s
Liability and Workers’ Compensation. Each party hereto assumes
full responsibility for its employer’s and workers’ compensation liability to
its respective officers, directors, employees or agents on account of injury or
death resulting from or sustained in the performance of their respective service
under this Agreement. Each party, with respect to its own employees,
accepts full and exclusive liability for the payment of workers’ compensation
and employer’s liability insurance premiums with respect to such employees, and
for the payment of all taxes, contributions or other payments for unemployment
compensation or old age or retirement benefits, pensions or annuities now or
hereafter imposed upon employers by the government of the United States or any
other governmental body, including state, local or foreign, with respect to such
employees measured by the wages, salaries, compensation or other remuneration
paid to such employees, or otherwise.
(b) Employees,
etc., of Shuttle. The employees, agents, and independent
contractors of Shuttle engaged in performing any of the services Shuttle is to
perform pursuant to this Agreement are employees, agents, and independent
contractors of Shuttle for all purposes, and under no circumstances will be
deemed to be employees, agents or independent contractors of
Mokulele. In its performance under this Agreement, Shuttle will act,
for all purposes, as an independent contractor and not as an agent for
Mokulele. Notwithstanding the fact that Shuttle has agreed to follow
certain procedures, instructions and standards of service of Mokulele pursuant
to this Agreement, Mokulele will have no supervisory power or control over any
employees, agents or independent contractors engaged by Shuttle in connection
with its performance hereunder, and all complaints or requested changes in
procedures made by Mokulele will, in all events, be transmitted by Mokulele to
Shuttle’s designated representative. Nothing contained in this
Agreement is intended to limit or condition Shuttle’s control over its
operations or the conduct of its business as an air carrier.
(c) Employees,
etc., of Mokulele. The employees, agents, and independent
contractors of Mokulele engaged in performing any of the services Mokulele is to
perform pursuant to this Agreement are employees, agents, and independent
contractors of Mokulele for all purposes, and under no circumstances will be
deemed to be employees, agents, or independent contractors of
Shuttle. Shuttle will have no supervision or control over any such
Mokulele employees, agents and independent contractors and any complaint or
requested change in procedure made by Shuttle will be transmitted by Shuttle to
Mokulele’s designated representative. In its performance under this
Agreement, Mokulele will act, for all purposes, as an independent contractor and
not as an agent for Shuttle. Nothing contained in this Agreement is
intended to limit or condition Mokulele’s control over its operations (except
with respect to operational control over the Covered Aircraft, which shall
remain with Shuttle) or the conduct of its business as an air
carrier.
(d) Shuttle
Flights. The fact that Shuttle’s operations are conducted
under Mokulele’s Marks and listed under the MW designator code will not affect
their status as flights operated by Shuttle for purposes of this Agreement or
any other agreement between the parties, and Shuttle and Mokulele agree to
advise all third parties, including passengers, of this fact.
Section
7.05 Survival. The
provisions of this Article VII shall survive the termination of this Agreement
for a period of seven years.

TERM,
TERMINATION AND DISPOSITION OF AIRCRAFT
Section
8.01 Term. The
Term of this Agreement shall commence on and shall be effective as of the
Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated for Cause or breach shall continue

date the Covered Aircraft shall be completely withdrawn from the capacity
purchase provisions of this Agreement and cease to be a Covered
Aircraft.
Section
8.02 Early
Termination
(a) By
Mokulele for Cause. Mokulele shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement upon written notice following the occurrence of any event that
constitutes Cause. Any termination pursuant to this Section 8.02(a) shall
supersede any other termination pursuant to any other provision of this
Agreement (even if such other right of termination shall already have been
exercised). The notice of termination provided by Mokulele pursuant
to this Section
8.02(a) shall designate a Termination Date (which may be any date between
the date of the notice and a date no more than 120 days of the date of the
notice), and on such date the Covered Aircraft shall be completely withdrawn
from the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement and cease to be a
Covered Aircraft, and the termination date set forth in the notice provided by
Mokulele will be the Termination Date for purposes of this Agreement (and such
Termination Date pursuant to this Section 8.02(a) shall
supersede any other Termination Date that may have been previously established
pursuant to another termination). In the event that Mokulele shall
not have delivered written notice of termination pursuant to this Section 8.02(a)
within 45 days after Mokulele receives written notice from Shuttle of the
occurrence of any event that constitutes Cause by Shuttle, then Mokulele shall
be conclusively deemed to have waived any right to terminate this Agreement
based upon such event; provided that such waiver
shall not apply to any subsequent or continuing event that constitutes
Cause.
(b) By
Mokulele for Breach. Mokulele may terminate this Agreement,
upon two Business Days’ prior written notice, upon the occurrence of a material
breach of this Agreement by Shuttle with respect to matters reasonably within
its control, which breach shall not have been cured within 60 days after written
notice of such breach is delivered by Mokulele to Shuttle (which 60-day notice
period may run concurrently with the 15-day notice period, if any, provided pursuant to Section 4.03 for
non-safety-related breaches). Any termination notice provided by
Mokulele pursuant to this Section 8.02(b),
shall specify a Termination Date that will be no more than 90 days from the date
of such notice and on such date the Covered Aircraft shall be completely
withdrawn from the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement and cease to
be a Covered Aircraft. In the event that Mokulele shall not have
delivered written notice of termination pursuant to this Section 8.02(b)
within 45 days after Mokulele receives written notice from Shuttle of any
material breach of this Agreement by Shuttle, then Mokulele shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any right to terminate this Agreement based
upon such breach; provided that such waiver
shall not apply to any subsequent or continuing breach.
(c) By
Shuttle for Breach. Shuttle may terminate this Agreement upon
(i) five Business Days prior written notice upon (A) any failure by Mokulele to
make any payment or payments under this Agreement aggregating in excess of [*], but specifically
excluding any amounts which are the subject of a good faith dispute between the
parties, which failure shall not have been cured within five Business Days after
written notice of such failure is delivered by Shuttle to Mokulele, or (B) a
breach by Mokulele of its covenant contained in Section 5.03 or 5.04,
(ii) the occurrence of any other failure by Mokulele to make any payment or
payments under this Agreement aggregating in excess of [*], but specifically
excluding any amounts which are the subject of a good faith dispute between the
parties, which failure shall not have been cured within 20 days after written
notice of such breach is delivered by Shuttle to Mokulele, or (iii) the
occurrence of any other material breach of this Agreement by Mokulele, which
breach shall not have been cured within 60 days after written notice of such
breach is received by Mokulele. In the event that Shuttle shall not
have delivered written notice of termination pursuant to this Section 8.02(c)
within 45 days after Shuttle receives written notice from Mokulele of any
material breach of this Agreement by Mokulele, then Shuttle shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any right to terminate this Agreement based
upon such breach; provided that such waiver
shall not apply to any subsequent or continuing breach.
If this
Agreement is terminated by Shuttle under the first paragraph of
this Section 8.02(c), the
notice of termination delivered by Shuttle to Mokulele pursuant to Section 8.02(c)(i)
shall be irrevocable and shall contain a Termination Date that is no more than
180 days after the date of such notice; provided that in the case of
a termination under Section 8.02(c)(i)(A) or
(c)(ii), such termination notice shall be void and of no further effect
automatically upon the payment by Mokulele prior to such Termination Date of all
unpaid amounts giving rise to such termination notice. As of the
Termination Date set forth in a notice of termination, all of the Covered
Aircraft shall automatically be withdrawn from the capacity purchase provisions
of this Agreement and shall cease to be Covered Aircraft as of such
date.
Section
8.03 Punitive
Damages. No party to this Agreement or any of its affiliates
shall be liable to any other party hereto or any of its affiliates for claims
for punitive, special or exemplary damages, arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of whether a claim
is based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, violation
of any applicable deceptive trade practices act or similar law or any other
legal or equitable principle, and each party releases the others and their
respective affiliates from liability for any such damages. No party
shall be entitled to rescission of this Agreement as a result of breach of any
other party’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, or for any
other matter; provided, that nothing in
this Section
8.03 shall restrict the right of any party to exercise any right to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section

any exhibit or schedule hereto. All references to days or months
shall be deemed references to calendar days or months. All references
to “$” shall be deemed references to United States dollars. Unless
the context otherwise requires, any reference to an “Article,” a “Section,” an

Section
10.07 Confidentiality. Except
as required by law or stock exchange or other regulation or in any proceeding to
enforce the provisions of this Agreement, or as otherwise provided below, each
party hereby agrees not to publicize or disclose to any third party (x) the
terms or conditions of this Agreement, or any exhibit, schedule or appendix
hereto or thereto, or any information, data, schedules, route information, fare
schedules and rules shared between the parties during the course of performance
under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other parties
thereto, or (y) any confidential information or data, both oral and written,
received from the other, whether pursuant to or in connection with this
Agreement, and designated as such by the other without the prior written consent
of the party providing such confidential information or data (except that a
party may disclose such information to its third party consultants, advisors and
representatives, in each case who are themselves bound to keep such information
confidential). Each party hereby agrees not to use any such
confidential information or data of the other party other than in connection
with performing their respective obligations or enforcing their respective
rights under this Agreement, or as otherwise expressly permitted or contemplated
by this Agreement. If either party is served with a subpoena or other
process requiring the production or disclosure of any of such agreements or
information, then the party receiving such subpoena or other process, before
complying with such subpoena or other process, shall, unless expressly requested
not to do so by a government agency issuing the subpoena or other process,
immediately notify the other parties hereto of same and permit said other
parties a reasonable period of time to intervene and contest disclosure or
production. Upon termination of this Agreement, each party must
return to each other any confidential information or data received from the
other and designated as such by the party providing such confidential
information or data which is still in the recipient’s possession or
control. Without limiting the foregoing, no party shall be prevented
from disclosing the following terms of this Agreement: the number of
aircraft subject hereto, the periods for which such aircraft are subject hereto,
and any termination provisions contained herein. The provisions of
this Section
10.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of ten
years.
Section
10.08 Arbitration
(a) Agreement
to Arbitrate. Subject to the equitable remedies provided under
Section 10.11,
any and all claims, demands, causes of action, disputes, controversies and other
matters in question (all of which are referred to herein as “Claims”) arising out
of or relating to this Agreement, shall be resolved by binding arbitration
pursuant to the procedures set forth by the International Institute for Conflict
Prevention and Resolution (the “CPR”). Each
of the parties agrees that arbitration under this Section 10.08 is the
exclusive method for resolving any Claim and that it will not commence an action
or proceeding based on a Claim hereunder, except to enforce the arbitrators’
decisions as provided in this Section 10.08, to
compel any other party to participate in arbitration under this Section
10.08. The governing law for any such action or proceeding
shall be the law set forth in Section
10.08(f).
(b) Initiation
of Arbitration. If any Claim has not been resolved by mutual
agreement on or before the 15th day following the first notice of the Claim to
or from a disputing party, then the arbitration may be initiated by one party by
providing to the other party a written notice of arbitration specifying the
Claim or Claims to be arbitrated. If a party refuses to honor its
obligations to arbitrate under this provision, the other party may compel
arbitration in either federal or state court in New York, New York and seek
recovery of its attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred if the arbitration is
ordered to proceed.
(c) Place of
Arbitration. The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in
New York, New York, or some other location mutually agreed upon by the
parties.
(d) Selection
of Arbitrators. The arbitration panel (the “Panel”) shall consist
of three arbitrators who are qualified to hear the type of Claim at
issue. They may be selected by agreement of the Parties within thirty
days of the notice initiating the arbitration procedure, or from the date of any
order compelling such arbitration to proceed. If the Parties fail to
agree upon the designation of any or all of the Panel, then the Parties shall
request the assistance of the CPR. The Panel shall make all of its
decisions by majority vote. Evident partiality on the part of an
arbitrator exists only where the circumstances are such that a reasonable person
would have to conclude there in fact existed actual bias, and a mere appearance
or impression of bias will not constitute evident partiality or otherwise
disqualify an arbitrator. The decision of the Panel will be binding
and non-appealable, except as permitted under the Federal Arbitration
Act.
(e) Choice
of Law as to Procedural Matters. The enforcement of this
agreement to arbitrate, and all procedural aspects of the proceeding pursuant to
this agreement to arbitrate, including but not limited to, the issues subject to
arbitration (i.e., arbitrability), the scope of the arbitrable issues, and the
rules governing the conduct of the arbitration, unless otherwise agreed by the
Parties, shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the Federal Arbitration
Act.
(f) Choice
of Law as to Substantive Claims. In deciding the substance of
the parties’ Claims, the arbitrators shall apply the substantive laws of the
State of New York (excluding New York choice-of-law principles that might call
for the application of the law of another jurisdiction).
(g) Procedure. It
is contemplated that the arbitration proceeding will be self-administered by the
Parties and conducted in accordance with procedures jointly determined by the
Panel and the Parties; provided, however, that if
either or both Parties believes the process will be enhanced if it is
administered by the CPR, then either or both Parties shall have the right to
cause the process to become administered by the CPR and, thereafter, the
arbitration shall be conducted, where applicable or appropriate, pursuant to the
administration of the CPR. In determining the extent of discovery,
the number and length of depositions, and all other pre-hearing matters, the
Panel shall endeavor to the extent possible to streamline the proceedings and
minimize the time and cost of the proceedings.
(h) Final
Hearing. The final hearing shall be conducted within 120 days
of the selection of the entire Panel. The final hearing shall not
exceed ten business days, with each party to be granted one-half of the
allocated time to present its case to the arbitrators, unless otherwise agreed
by the Parties.
(i) Damages. Only
actual damages may be awarded. It is expressly agreed that the Panel
shall have no authority to award treble, exemplary or punitive damages of any
type under any circumstances regardless of whether such damages may be available
under the applicable law.
(j) Decision
of the Arbitration. The Panel shall render its final decision
and award in writing within 20 days of the completion of the final hearing
completely resolving all of the Claims that are the subject of the arbitration
proceeding. The Panel shall certify in its decision that no part of
its award includes any amount for treble, exemplary or punitive
damages. The Panel’s decision and award shall be final and
non-appealable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Any and all of
the Panel’s orders and decisions will be enforceable in, and judgment upon any
award rendered in the arbitration proceeding may be confirmed and entered by,
any federal or state court in New York, New York having
jurisdiction.
(k) Confidentiality. All
proceedings conducted hereunder and the decision and award of the Panel shall be
kept confidential by the Panel and, except as required by law or stock exchange
regulation or in any proceeding to enforce any decision or award by the Panel,
by the Parties.
Section
10.09 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. The Agreement may be executed by facsimile
signature.
Section
10.10 Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement 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. Any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.
Section
10.11 Equitable Remedies; Certain
Liquidated Damages
(a) Equitable
Remedies. Each party acknowledges and agrees that, under
certain circumstances, the breach by a party of a term or provision of this
Agreement will materially and irreparably harm the other party, that money
damages will accordingly not be an adequate remedy for such breach and that the
non-defaulting party, in its sole discretion and in addition to its rights under
this Agreement and any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, may apply
to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any
bond or deposit) for specific performance and/or other injunctive relief in
order to enforce or prevent any breach of the provisions of this
Agreement.
(b) Certain
Liquidated Damages. If Shuttle shall fail to provide a Covered
Aircraft within 30 days of the applicable in-service day reflected on Exhibit B (such
Covered Aircraft being referred to herein as a “Delayed Aircraft”),
Shuttle will pay to Mokulele following such failure liquidated damages in an
amount equal to [*] for
each day between the [*]
day following the in-service date reflected on Exhibit B and the
actual in-service date of such Delayed Aircraft; provided that, in the event
such in-service delay is due to circumstances beyond the control of Shuttle and
Shuttle provides prior notice of such delay, such liquidated damages shall not
in any event exceed [*].
The
parties agree that the damages to be suffered by Mokulele in connection with
Shuttle’s failure to deliver an aircraft on a scheduled in-service date as
provided in Exhibit
B shall be difficult to calculate, and that the foregoing liquidated
damages are a good faith estimate of such damages, and that such liquidated
damages are not intended to be a penalty. The parties further agree
that the foregoing liquidated damages shall be Mokulele’s sole and exclusive
remedy against Shuttle for any damages suffered solely as a result of Shuttle’s
failure to deliver an aircraft on a scheduled in-service date as provided in
Exhibit
B.
(c) Other
Limitations on Seeking Damages. Neither the right of any party
to terminate this Agreement, nor the exercise of such right, shall constitute a
limitation on such party’s right to seek damages or such other legal redress to
which such party may otherwise be entitled; provided that,
absent the occurrence of another breach of this Agreement by Shuttle, Mokulele
shall not be entitled to seek damages solely for the occurrence of an event of
Cause of the type described in clause (iii) or clause (iv) of the definition
thereof.
Section
10.12 Relationship
of Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or
construed as establishing between the parties a partnership, joint venture or
other similar arrangement.
Section
10.13 Entire
Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement
(including the exhibits and schedules hereto) are intended by the parties as a
complete statement of the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and all matters between the parties related
to the subject matter herein or therein set forth. This Agreement is
made among, and for the benefit of, the parties hereto, and the parties do not
intend to create any third-party beneficiaries hereby, and no other Person shall
have any rights arising under, or interests in or to, this
Agreement.
Section
10.14 Governing
Law. Except with respect to matters referenced in Section 10.08(e)
(which shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the Federal Arbitration
Act), this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York (excluding New York choice-of-law principles that
might call for the application of the law of another jurisdiction) as to all
matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and
remedies. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.08(e), any
action arising out of this Agreement or the rights and duties of the parties
arising hereunder may be brought, if at all, only in the state or federal courts
located in the City and County of New York, New York.
Section
10.15 Right of
Set-Off. If any party hereto shall be in default hereunder to
any other party, then in any such case the non-defaulting party shall be
entitled to set off from any payment owed by such non-defaulting party to the
defaulting party hereunder any amount owed by the defaulting party to the
non-defaulting party thereunder; provided that
contemporaneously with any such set-off, the non-defaulting party shall give
written notice of such action to the defaulting party; provided further that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the
set-off. It is specifically agreed that (i) for purposes of the
set-off by any non-defaulting party, mutuality shall be deemed to exist among
the parties; (ii) reciprocity among the parties exists with respect to their
relative rights and obligations in respect of any such set-off; and (iii) the
right of set-off is given as additional security to induce the parties to enter
into the transactions contemplated hereby. Upon completion of any
such set-off, the obligation of the defaulting party to the non-defaulting party
shall be extinguished to the extent of the amount so set-off. Each
party hereto further waives any right to assert as a defense to any attempted
set-off the requirements of liquidation or mutuality. This set-off
provision shall be without prejudice, and in addition, to any right of set-off,
combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any non-defaulting party
is at any time otherwise entitled (either by operation of law, contract or
otherwise), including without limitation pursuant to Section 3.06(b)(ii)
hereof.
Section
10.16 Cooperation
with Respect to Reporting. Each of the parties hereto agrees
to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other party in
providing necessary data, to the extent in the possession of the first party,
required by such other party in order to meet any reporting requirements to, or
otherwise in connection with any filing with or provision of information to be
made to, any regulatory agency or other governmental authority.
Section
10.17 Reserved.
Section
10.18 Life
Limited Parts. Mokulele and Shuttle shall each cooperate with
one another in order to manage and minimize engine life limited parts (“LLP”) expenses for
Covered Aircraft. To that end, Shuttle shall provide annual
projections of LLP requirements and supplemental notice of specific engine
maintenance events which require LLP replacement as they are
scheduled. Mokulele may, at its option and with Shuttle’s consent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), provide or arrange the
provision of used serviceable LLPs that otherwise meet Shuttle’s specifications
and reasonable minimum cycle-remaining requirements, to be incorporated into a
Covered Aircraft. In connection with the withdrawal of any Covered
Aircraft from the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement (whether at the
end of such aircraft’s scheduled term or otherwise), Mokulele shall pay Shuttle
for the pro-rata cost (based on useful life and using the then-current catalogue
price for LLPs) of all LLPs consumed for all Scheduled Flights by such Covered
Aircraft under this Agreement, and Shuttle shall pay Mokulele for the pro-rata
cost (based on useful life and using the then-current catalogue price for LLPs)
of all LLPs provided by Mokulele and incorporated into such Covered Aircraft
pursuant to the previous sentence and not consumed for any Scheduled Flights
under this Agreement.

in each case where the rate category is indicated [*].
|
|
2.
|
Pre-▇▇▇▇ Invoiced
Amount. The Invoiced Amount calculated in accordance
with Section 3.06 (a) of the Agreement will be calculated by using the
data from the Final Monthly Schedule and the Operational Assumptions for
any given month as follows:
|
a. the
Invoiced Amount for each of the Fixed Cost cost elements will be calculated by

the Term except for the annual adjustment pursuant to Section 3.02 of the
Agreement for those elements noted as “Subject to Escalation”; plus
b. the
Invoiced Amount for each of the Variable Cost elements will be calculated by
multiplying (i) the Rate, times (ii) the Unit of Measure (as set forth in the
Final Monthly Schedule and the Operational Assumptions for the month), times
(iii) the Completion Factor Target Threshold percentage as in effect at the time
of calculation, where “Blk Hrs” are the block hours estimated to be flown by the
Covered Aircraft for the month, “W/A A/C” is the weighted average number of
Covered Aircraft for the month, “Departures” is the number of departures
estimated to be made by the Covered Aircraft during the month, “Flt Hrs” are the
flight hours estimated to be flown by the Covered Aircraft for the month, “Pax”
is the number of passengers estimated to be transported by the Covered Aircraft
during the month, and “1000 RPMS” is the estimated revenue passenger miles flown
by the Covered Aircraft during the month divided by 1,000. The Rate
for each Variable Cost element will not change during the Term except for (i)
the annual adjustment pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Agreement for those
elements noted as “Subject to Escalation, and (ii) those elements noted as
subject to “Periodic Adjustment” will be adjusted based on the actual costs of
the related insurance premiums paid by Shuttle, taking into account any
increases or reductions in those premiums due to end of the coverage year
calculations based on Shuttle’s operational statistics.
*Confidential
|
3.
|
Reconciled
Costs. The Fixed Cost elements calculated by using the
“W/A A/C” Unit of Measure, and the Variable Cost elements will be
reconciled pursuant to Section 3.06 (b) of the Agreement by calculating
the difference between the Invoiced Amount for such elements and the
amount due for such elements based on the Rate for each Variable Cost
element times the actual Unit of Measure for the
month.
|
|
4.
|
Pass-Thru
Costs. Mokulele will reimburse Shuttle for each
Pass-Thru Cost element in accordance with Section 3.06 (c) of the
Agreement. Pass-Thru Costs are actual costs incurred and are

Bonus/Rebate. The reconciliation for any calendar month shall
include, as applicable, a bonus (represented by a payment by Mokulele to

Terms
of Codeshare Arrangements
1. Shuttle’s
use of MW code. During the Term of the Agreement, Mokulele
shall place its designator code, “MW”, on all Scheduled Flights operated by
Shuttle. Mokulele may suspend the display of its code on flights
operated by Shuttle if Shuttle is in breach of any of its safety-related
obligations, or material breach of any of its operational obligations, under the
Agreement during the period that such breach continues. All Shuttle
operated flights that display the MW code are referred to herein as “MW
Flights”.
2. Shuttle’s
display of MW code.
(a) All
MW Flights will be included in the schedule, availability and fare displays of
all computerized reservations systems in which Mokulele and Shuttle participate,
the Official Airline Guide (to the extent agreed upon) and Mokulele’s and
Shuttle’s internal reservation systems, under the MW code, to the extent
possible. Mokulele and Shuttle will take the appropriate measures
necessary to ensure the display of the schedules of all MW Flights in accordance
with the preceding sentence.
(b) Mokulele
and Shuttle will disclose and identify the MW Flights to the public as actually
being a flight of and operated by Shuttle, in at least the following
ways:
(i) a
symbol or a flight number range will be used in timetables and computer
reservation systems indicating that MW Flights are actually operated by
Shuttle;
(ii) to
the extent reasonable, messages on airport flight information displays will
identify Shuttle as the operator of flights shown as MW Flights;
(iii) Mokulele
and Shuttle advertising concerning MW Flights and Mokulele and Shuttle
reservationists will disclose Shuttle as the operator of each MW Flight;
and
(iv) in
any other manner prescribed by law or DOT regulation.
3. Terms
and Conditions of Carriage. In all cases the contract of
carriage between a passenger and a carrier will be that of the carrier whose
code is designated on the ticket. Mokulele and Shuttle shall each
cooperate with the other in the exchange of information necessary to conform
each carrier’s contract of carriage to reflect service offered by the other
carrier.
4. Notification
of Irregular Operations. Shuttle shall promptly notify
Mokulele System Operations Control via both positive phone contact and email of
all irregularities involving a MW Flight which result in any material damage to
persons or property as soon as such information is available and shall furnish
to Mokulele as much detail as practicable. For purposes of this
section, notification shall be made as follows:
[*]
5. Code
Sharing License.
(a) Grant of
License. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement,
Mokulele hereby grants to Shuttle a nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable
license to use the MW designator code on all of its flights operated as a MW
Flight.
(b) Control
of MW Flights. Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Agreement, Shuttle shall have sole responsibility for and control over, and
Mokulele shall have no responsibility for, control over or obligations or duties
with respect to, each and every aspect of Shuttle’s operation of MW
Flights.
6. Display
of other Codes. During the Term of the Agreement, Mokulele
shall have the exclusive right to determine which other airlines (“Alliance
Airlines”), if any, may place their two letter designator codes on flights
operated by Shuttle with Covered Aircraft and to enter into agreements with such
Alliance Airlines with respect thereto. Shuttle will cooperate with
Mokulele and any Alliance Airlines in the formation of a code share relationship
between Shuttle and the Alliance Airlines and enter into reasonably acceptable
agreements and make the necessary governmental filings, as requested by
Mokulele, with respect thereto.

F
Use
of Shuttle Marks
1. Grant. Shuttle
hereby grants to Mokulele, and Mokulele accepts, a non-exclusive, personal,
non-transferable, royalty-free right and license to adopt and use the Shuttle
Marks (as defined below) in connection with Mokulele’s entering into this
Agreement, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth
herein.
2. Ownership of the Shuttle
Marks.
a. Shuttle
shall at all times remain the owner of the Shuttle Marks and any registrations
thereof and Mokulele’s use of any Shuttle Marks shall clearly identify Shuttle
as the owner of such marks (to the extent practical) to protect Shuttle’s
interest therein. All use by Mokulele of the Shuttle Marks shall
inure to the benefit of Shuttle. Nothing in this Agreement shall give
Mokulele any right, title, or interest in the Shuttle Marks other than right to
use the Shuttle Marks in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement
b. Mokulele
acknowledges Shuttle’s ownership of the Shuttle Marks and further acknowledges
the validity of the Shuttle Marks. Mokulele agrees that it will not
do anything that in any way infringes or abridges Shuttle’s rights in the
Shuttle Marks or directly or indirectly challenges the validity of the Shuttle
Marks.
3. Use of the Shuttle
Marks.
a. Mokulele
shall use the Shuttle Marks only as authorized herein by Shuttle and in
accordance with such standards of quality as Shuttle may establish.
b. Mokulele
shall use the Shuttle Marks as necessary or appropriate in Mokulele’s sole
discretion in connection with the Regional Airline Services, including without
limitation the sale or disposition by Mokulele of the seat inventory of the
Scheduled Flights.
c. Mokulele
shall not use the Shuttle Marks for any purpose other than as set forth in this
Exhibit F, and specifically shall have no right to use the Shuttle Marks in
connection with any other operations of Mokulele.
d. Shuttle
may change the Shuttle Marks at any time and from time to time (including by
adding or deleting marks from the list specified in this Exhibit F), in which
case Mokulele shall as soon as practicable make such changes as are requested by
Shuttle to utilize the new Shuttle Marks; provided that Shuttle shall
either pay directly the reasonable costs of making such changes to the Shuttle
Marks or shall promptly reimburse Mokulele for its reasonable expenses incurred
in making such changes.
e. Nothing
shall abridge Shuttle’s right to use and/or to license the Shuttle Marks, and
Shuttle reserves the right to the continued use of all the Shuttle Marks, to
license such other uses of the Shuttle Marks and to enter into such agreements
with other carriers providing for arrangements similar to those with Mokulele as
Shuttle may desire. No term or provision of this Agreement shall be
construed to preclude the use of the Shuttle Marks by other persons or for other
similar uses not covered by this Agreement.
4. Shuttle-Controlled
Litigation. Shuttle at its sole expense shall take all steps
that in its opinion and sole discretion are necessary and desirable to protect
the Shuttle Marks against any infringement or dilution. Mokulele
agrees to cooperate fully with Shuttle in the defense and protection of the
Shuttle Marks as reasonably requested by Shuttle. Mokulele shall
report to Shuttle any infringement or imitation of, or challenge to, the Shuttle
Marks, immediately upon becoming aware of same. Mokulele shall not be
entitled to bring, or compel Shuttle to bring, an action or other legal
proceedings on account of any infringements, imitations, or challenges to any
element of the Shuttle Marks without the written agreement of
Shuttle. Shuttle shall not be liable for any loss, cost, damage or
expense suffered or incurred by Mokulele because of the failure or inability to
take or consent to the taking of any action on account of any such
infringements, imitations, challenges or because of the failure of any such
action or proceeding. If Shuttle shall commence any action or legal
proceeding on account of such infringements, imitations or challenges, Mokulele
agrees to provide all reasonable assistance requested by Shuttle in preparing
for and prosecuting the same.
5. Revocation of
License. Shuttle shall have the right to cancel the license
provided herein in whole or in part at any time and for any reason, in which
event all terminated rights to use the Shuttle Marks provided Mokulele herein
shall revert to Shuttle and the Shuttle Marks shall not be used by Mokulele in
connection with any operations of Mokulele. Mokulele shall cease all
use of the Shuttle Marks in all respects upon the last Covered Aircraft being
withdrawn from this Agreement. Mokulele shall not thereafter make use
of any word, words, term, design, name or ▇▇▇▇ confusingly similar to the
Shuttle Marks or take actions that otherwise may infringe the Shuttle
Marks.
6. Assignment. The
non-exclusive license granted by Shuttle to Mokulele is personal to Mokulele and
may not be assigned, sub-licensed or transferred by Mokulele in any manner
without the written consent of a duly authorized representative of
Shuttle.
7. Shuttle
Marks. The Shuttle Marks shall be as provided to Mokulele
prior to the commencement of the Term.
8. Survival. The
provisions of this Exhibit F shall survive the termination of this Agreement for
a period of six years.

Note: the
above minimum and maximum schedule parameters apply only to those Covered
Aircraft in scheduled service, not to the Spare Aircraft.
2. Aircraft Maintenance and
Crew Requirements.
Mokulele
agrees to take into consideration Shuttle’s operational requirements for
overnight maintenance and crew productivity (including, where feasible, mid-day
flights into Shuttle crew base cities for crew exchanges) and
legality.
Mokulele
shall produce a Final Monthly Schedule in cooperation with Shuttle that meets
the following location and minimum hour requirements for overnight
aircraft:
(i) each
of the Covered Aircraft will remain overnight at Honolulu International Airport
(HNL) for normal maintenance; and
(ii) each
of the Covered Aircraft shall remain overnight for at least 10 hours (as
measured by the time from the last terminating flight to the first originating
flight).
3. Maintenance
Bases.
Shuttle
will establish a crew base and a maintenance base for line and overnight
aircraft maintenance work at Honolulu International Airport
(HNL). Provided that Mokulele provides adequate hangar space, such
maintenance base will be sufficient to perform intermediate maintenance checks,
clear minimum equipment list and configuration deviation list items, and perform
general maintenance, trouble shooting, and component removals and
repairs.
4. Crew
Overnights.
The
schedule may allow for single overnights, multiple overnights, staged, and
continuous duty overnights of crews in outstations, provided, should Mokulele
schedule continuous duty overnights or staged crews, incremental hotel and per
diem costs related to such continuous duty overnights or staged crews will be
billed by Shuttle to Mokulele in arrears as a Pass Thru costs [*]. Mokulele
reserves the right to review Shuttle’s crew schedules to ensure efficient and
economic crew scheduling and agrees to negotiate economic settlement with
Shuttle for schedule changes that materially affect crew utilization or line
maintenance requirements.
5. Charter Flights Sold by
Mokulele.
Mokulele
may schedule, price and sell Charter Flights using the Covered Aircraft, provided Shuttle receives 60
days’ advance notice of the tentative dates and times of such Charter Flights
and the final dates are built into the Final Monthly
Schedule. Mokulele may also request Shuttle to consider ad hoc
Charter Flights or extra sections. Mokulele agrees to compensate
Shuttle for any additional operating costs of the Charter Flights, including but
not limited to aircraft ferry costs and unproductive crew time, as such costs
are provided to Mokulele at the time Mokulele provides notice to Shuttle of the
Charter Flights, or sufficiently in advance of Mokulele’s bid for the Charter
Flight to allow such costs to be passed through to the charterer.
