*See below for a detailed discussion of the committed financings Hawaiian has received for its upcoming capital commitments for aircraft deliveries.
 
Purchase Assignment and Lease Financing Agreement

Hawaiian has a commitment to assign its purchase of an Airbus A330-200 aircraft at delivery and simultaneously enter into a lease agreement for the aircraft with scheduled delivery in October 2015 with total committed lease financing of $48 million. Both the gross capital commitment for the cost of the aircraft and the committed financing are reflected in the table above. The agreement has an initial lease term of 12 years and fixed monthly rental payments that will be determined upon delivery of the aircraft.

The anticipated future minimum payments for this lease, which is not included in the operating lease table at Note 9, are $2.2 million for the remainder of 2015, $8.4 million in each of the years 2016 through 2019, and $65.4 million thereafter.
 
Aircraft Lease Commitment

In June 2015, Hawaiian entered into a six-year lease agreement for an Airbus A330-200 aircraft with an expected delivery date in the second quarter of 2016, which is not included in the table above. The Company will determine whether this lease will be classified as a capital or operating lease in the period it takes delivery of the aircraft.

The anticipated future minimum payments for this lease, which is not included in the operating lease table at Note 9, are $5.1 million in 2016, $8.9 million in each of the years 2017 through 2019, and $21.5 million thereafter.

Litigation and Contingencies
 
The Company is subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its operations. Management does not anticipate that the disposition of any currently pending proceeding will have a material effect on the Company’s operations, business or financial condition.

General Guarantees and Indemnifications
 
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into numerous aircraft financing and real estate leasing arrangements that have various guarantees included in the contract. It is common in such lease transactions for the lessee to agree to indemnify the lessor and other related third-parties for tort liabilities that arise out of or relate to the lessee’s use of the leased aircraft or occupancy of the leased premises. In some cases, this indemnity extends to related liabilities arising from the negligence of the indemnified parties, but usually excludes any liabilities caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct. Additionally, the lessee typically indemnifies such parties for any environmental liability that arises out of or relates to its use of the real estate leased premises. The Company believes that it is insured (subject to deductibles) for most tort liabilities and related indemnities described above with respect to the aircraft and real estate that it leases. The Company cannot estimate the potential amount of future payments, if any, under the foregoing indemnities and agreements.
 
Credit Card Holdback
 
Under the Company’s bank-issued credit card processing agreements, certain proceeds from advance ticket sales may be held back to serve as collateral to cover any possible chargebacks or other disputed charges that may occur. These holdbacks, which are included in restricted cash in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $5.0 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
 
In the event of a material adverse change in the business, the holdback could increase to an amount up to 100% of the applicable credit card air traffic liability, which would also cause an increase in the level of restricted cash. If the Company is unable to obtain a waiver of, or otherwise mitigate the increase in the restriction of cash, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
