Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent for cancellation (or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by the Company), together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as the Exchange Agent shall require, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor: (A) in the case of holders of Certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced outstanding shares of A Common Stock in book-entry or certificated form, (1) one or more shares of Company Common Stock (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested or the holder is a Rule 145 Affiliate (as defined below)) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.01 (after taking into account all shares of A Common Stock then held by such holder) and (2) a check in the amount equal to the cash (which shall under no circumstances include any interest) that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II in respect of dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.03(c); and (B) in the case of holders of Certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced outstanding shares of B Common Stock or shares of B Special Preferred Stock, in book-entry or certificated form, (1) one or more shares of Company Common Stock (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested or the holder is a Rule 145 Affiliate) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.01 (after taking into account all shares of B Common Stock and B Special Preferred Stock then held by such holder), (2) subject to Section 2.03(f), one or more Notes (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical note is requested or the holder is a Rule 145 Affiliate) with an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.01, and (3) a check in the amount equal to the cash (which shall under no circumstances include any interest) that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II in respect of dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.03(c), cash in lieu of Fractional Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(f) and interest and other amounts payable on the Notes pursuant to their terms. Each Certificate surrendered pursuant to the previous sentence shall forthwith be canceled. No interest shall accrue or be payable under this Section 2.03 except that interest shall accrue and be payable with respect to the Notes only to the extent that the Notes, by their terms, specifically provide for the accrual and payment of interest. No interest or other amount payable after the Effective Time with respect to the Notes shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the holder thereof surrenders such Certificate. Until so surrendered and exchanged, each such Certificate shall, after the Effective Time, be deemed to represent only the right to receive shares of Company Common Stock, Notes and cash (each to the extent applicable), and until such surrender or exchange, no such shares of Company Common Stock, Notes or cash shall be delivered to the holder of such outstanding Certificate in respect thereof. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Converted Shares that is not registered in the transfer 11 records of A or B, as the case may be, a certificate evidencing the proper number of shares of Company Common Stock, together with any dividends or other distributions to which the holder of such Converted Shares is entitled pursuant to Section 2.03(c), and Notes (to the extent applicable) with the proper principal amount, together with cash in lieu of Fractional Amounts to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.03(f), together with any interest or other amounts payable to which such holder is entitled by their terms, may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate evidencing such Converted Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. (c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of Company Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to shares of Company Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock evidenced thereby, until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to the effect of escheat, tax or other applicable Laws (as defined below), following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificates evidencing shares of Company Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock. (d) No Further Rights in Converted Shares. All shares of Company Common Stock and, if applicable, Notes and cash issued and paid in exchange for Converted Shares in accordance with the terms hereof (including any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.03(c) or 2.03(f)) shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Converted Shares. (e) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip evidencing fractional shares of Company Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of the Company. Any fractional share interest of Company Common Stock shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share. (f) Note Denominations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Notes shall be issued only in denominations of $2.00 (or, if $2.00 denominations are not commercially reasonable or otherwise practicable, the lowest commercially reasonable and practicable denomination above $2.00) ($2.00 or, if applicable, such higher minimum denomination, the "Minimum Denomination") and integral multiples of the Minimum Denomination. Former holders of B Shares who are otherwise entitled to receive Notes under this Article II will not be entitled to receive Notes in principal amounts less than the Minimum Denomination, or in principal amounts in excess of the Minimum Denomination (or an integral multiple of the Minimum Denomination) but less than the next highest integral multiple ("Fractional Amounts") but, instead, will be entitled to receive promptly from the Exchange Agent a cash payment (without any interest) in lieu of Fractional Amounts representing each 12 such former holder's proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent on behalf of such former holders of the aggregate Fractional Amounts pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agent Agreement. Such sale shall be made within ten days after the Effective Time. Such cash payments will be made to each such former holder only upon proper surrender of such former holder's Certificates, together with a properly completed and duly executed transmittal form and any other required documents. (g) Termination of Exchange Agent. Any certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(a) and not exchanged within one year after the Effective Time pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be returned by the Exchange Agent to the Company, which shall thereafter act as Exchange Agent. All funds and Notes, if any, held by the Exchange Agent for payment or delivery to the holders of unsurrendered Certificates and unclaimed at the end of one year from the Effective Time shall be returned to the Company, after which time any holder of unsurrendered Certificates shall look as a general creditor only to the Company for payment of such funds or delivery of such Notes to which such holder may be due, subject to applicable Law. All Notes so returned shall be cancelled by the Company pursuant to the Indenture, without prejudice to any rights of any holder of unsurrendered certificates. (h) No Liability. The Company shall not be liable to any holder of A Shares or B Shares for any such shares of Company Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), Notes or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. (i) Withholding Rights. The Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of A Shares or B Shares, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Company, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of A Shares or B Shares, as the case may be, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Company. (j) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Company, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Company may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of Company Common Stock, together with any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.03(c), and, if applicable, Notes, together with cash in lieu of Fractional Amounts and interest and other amounts payable in respect of the Notes pursuant to their terms deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything that may be to the contrary herein, with respect to Certificates surrendered for exchange by any person constituting an "affiliate" of A or B for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act," and any such person a "Rule 145 Affiliate"), the Company Common Stock and, if applicable, Notes shall not be delivered until the Company shall have received from such person an executed affiliate letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J as provided in Section 7.05.

Such cash payment shall be made to the holders of the A Options no later than 90 days after the Effective Time. For purposes of this Agreement: "Spread Per Option Share" shall mean the excess of (i) the product of (A) the B Share Average (as defined below) multiplied by (B) the A Exchange Ratio, over (ii) the exercise price per share of A Common Stock subject to the A Option; and "B Share Average" shall mean the average closing trading price per share of the B Common Stock on the AMEX during the 30 calendar day period immediately preceding the date of the Effective Time.

From and after the date of this Agreement, A shall not grant any additional options to purchase shares of, or equity-based securities or rights with respect to, A Common Stock or other capital stock under the A Stock Option Plan or otherwise. Except as otherwise agreed to by the parties in this Agreement, A shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that no person shall have any right under any stock option plan (or any option granted thereunder) or other plan, program or arrangement with respect to, including any right to acquire, any equity-based securities or rights of A following the Effective Time.

ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF B Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule delivered by B to A, the Company and TW concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the "B Disclosure Schedule") or in the B SEC Reports (as defined below) that have been filed with the SEC, and made publicly 16 available through EDGAR, after December 31, 2000 and prior to the date hereof, B hereby represents and warrants to A, the Company and TW that: SECTION 3.01. Organization and Qualification. (a) B is a corporation duly organized under the laws of the Territory of Hawaii, and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Hawaii. B is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a B Material Adverse Effect. The term "B Material Adverse Effect" means any change in or effect on the business of B that is materially adverse to the financial condition, business or results of operations of B, since December 31, 2000, except for any such changes or effects resulting from this Agreement, the ancillary agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the announcement hereof or thereof or relating to any agreement of the type contemplated by Section 116 of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, provided that such agreement is reasonably acceptable to TW and approved by the Secretary of the DOT (as defined below) under 49 U.S.C. Section 41308(c) and receives the prior written approval of the Company and A, and other than any change or effect which adversely affects both B and A, such as any change or effect arising out of general economic conditions unrelated to the business in which B and A are engaged, or any change or effect which affects the airline industry generally (including, but not limited to, a material change in the price of fuel and changes resulting from the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001).

B possesses all other certificates, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals of Governmental Authorities (including without limitation the Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA") and the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC")) necessary to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct the business that B is conducting (together with those certificates referred to in the preceding sentence, the "B Permits"), except where the failure to possess such B Permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a B Material Adverse Effect. (c) B has no subsidiaries. The B Disclosure Schedule lists all persons in which B has any ownership, partnership, voting or joint venture interest. To the knowledge of B, all the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other ownership interests in, each such other person (i) have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and (ii) except for director qualifying shares, are owned directly or indirectly by B, free and clear of all pledges, claims, liens, charges, encumbrances and security interests of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, "Liens"), including, without limitation, in respect of restrictions on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or other ownership interests. 17 SECTION 3.02. Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. B has heretofore made available to the Company and A a complete and correct copy of the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of B, each as amended. Such Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws are in full force and effect. B is not in violation of any of the provisions of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. SECTION 3.03. Capitalization.

All B Shares subject to issuance as aforesaid, upon issuance on the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. There are no outstanding contractual obligations of B to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock of B. Except for its ownership interests described in the B Disclosure Schedule, B does not beneficially own directly or indirectly and has not agreed to purchase or otherwise acquire, any of the capital stock of, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any of the capital stock of any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business association or entity.

SECTION 3.06. Permits; Compliance. No suspension or cancellation of any of the B Permits is pending or, to the actual knowledge of B, threatened, except where the failure to have, or the suspension or cancellation of, any of the B Permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a B Material Adverse Effect. B is not in conflict with, or in default or violation of (a) any Law applicable to B or by which any property or asset of B is bound or affected, (b) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which B is a party or by which B or any property or asset of B is bound or affected or (c) any B Permits, except for any such conflicts, defaults or violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a B Material Adverse Effect.
