Amendment No. 6 to General Terms Agreement DEG 5327 between Rolls-Royce plc, Rolls-Royce Total Care Services Ltd., and Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.

Summary

This amendment updates the existing agreement between Rolls-Royce and Hawaiian Airlines regarding the sale and lease-back of spare aircraft engines. It clarifies that Hawaiian Airlines will retain warranty, indemnity, and other benefits for engines involved in sale and lease-back transactions, and ensures these engines remain covered under the original agreement. The amendment also restricts assignment of its terms, except as specifically allowed. The changes are effective from the date of this amendment and are intended to protect Hawaiian’s rights when spare engines are sold and leased back from third-party lessors.
