Employment Agreement - Robert Barron

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     General. On June 9, 2005, Robert Barron entered into an employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kitty Hawk Aircargo, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kitty Hawk, Inc. (“Kitty Hawk”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company employs Mr. Barron as the Company’s Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. The Agreement replaces and supercedes any existing contractual employment arrangements between the Company and Mr. Barron. The Agreement has a two-year term, which commenced on June 1, 2005, with automatic renewals for successive one-year terms, subject to earlier termination by either party for any reason. A copy of the Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and the following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the attached Agreement.

     Compensation and Benefits. Under the Agreement, Mr. Barron is entitled to an annual base salary of $150,000.00 during the initial term. Thereafter, Mr. Barron’s annual base salary will be reviewed at least annually and may be increased in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of Kitty Hawk’s Board of Directors. The Company may not decrease the salary of Mr. Barron during the term of the Agreement. In addition, Mr. Barron is eligible to receive an annual cash performance bonus based on the achievement of annual performance goals to be determined annually by the Compensation Committee of Kitty Hawk’s Board of Directors. Mr. Barron is also eligible to participate in any incentive compensation plans applicable to senior executive officers that are adopted by Kitty Hawk’s Board of Directors and any benefit programs adopted by Kitty Hawk for the benefit of its executive officers.

     Effect of Termination. Under the Agreement, if Mr. Barron’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for “Cause” (as defined in the Agreement) or by the Company not renewing the Agreement or by Mr. Barron for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Agreement), Mr. Barron is generally entitled to receive:

• six months of his annual base salary in effect on the date of termination (the “Severance Payment”), reduced in the case of the Company’s election to not renew the Agreement by certain remuneration earned by Mr. Barron in the six months following termination;

• a pro-rated bonus for the year of termination equal to (i) the bonus Mr. Barron would have earned for such year if he was employed by the Company through the end of the year, multiplied by (ii) the percentage of the year of termination that Mr. Barron was employed by the Company (the “Pro-Rated Bonus”); and

• Mr. Barron’s previously earned and unpaid salary, previously earned and unpaid bonus for the year prior to termination, accrued vacation, unreimbursed business expenses and other accrued benefits.

     In addition to the foregoing, the options under Mr. Barron’s currently outstanding incentive stock option agreement that would have vested during the twelve months following his separation date if he had remained employed by the Company would immediately vest and become exercisable and any future equity based awards granted to him would become immediately fully vested and exercisable. In addition, the Company would also continue to provide life and disability insurance, medical, vision and dental coverage and other health and welfare benefits (the “Insurance Benefits”) to Mr. Barron for up to six months following separation.

     If Mr. Barron’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of death or disability, by Mr. Barron without Good Reason, by Mr. Barron not renewing the term of the Agreement or by the Company for Cause, Mr. Barron is generally entitled to receive his previously earned and unpaid salary,

previously earned and unpaid bonus for the year prior to termination (except if Mr. Barron terminates the Agreement without Good Reason or by not renewing the Agreement and such termination is prior to the finalization of the Company’s prior year audited financial statements or if the Company terminates the Agreement for Cause), accrued vacation, unreimbursed business expenses and other accrued benefits. In addition, if Mr. Barron’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of death or disability, he will receive the Pro-Rated Bonus.

     Effect of a Change in Control. In the event of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Agreement), the term of the Agreement shall continue for the longer of (i) the period remaining in the Term or (ii) twelve months (such twelve month period, even if the remaining Term is a longer period, shall be the “Change in Control Period”) and then automatically renews for successive one-year periods, subject to earlier termination. If during the Change in Control Period, Mr. Barron terminates his employment for Good Reason or the Company terminates his employment without Cause, Mr. Barron is generally entitled to receive:

• a lump sum payment equal to two times the Severance Payment;

• the Pro-Rated Bonus; and

• his previously earned and unpaid salary, previously earned and unpaid bonus for the year prior to termination, accrued vacation, unreimbursed business expenses and other accrued benefits.

     In addition to the foregoing, the options under Mr. Barron’s currently outstanding incentive stock option agreement and any future equity based awards granted to him would become immediately fully vested and exercisable. In addition, the Company would also continue to provide the Insurance Benefits to Mr. Barron for up to six months following separation.

     Other Protective Provisions. Under the Agreement, Mr. Barron is subject to certain confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement provisions.
