Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     Warrant Repricing. On March 29, 2007, Kitty Hawk, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries entered into a Security Agreement and Secured Revolving Note (the “Credit Facility”) with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”). In connection therewith, the Company issued to Laurus a five year warrant to purchase up to 8,216,657 shares of Kitty Hawk, Inc. common stock (the “Original Warrant”). The exercise price of the Original Warrant was $0.91 per share. On June 29, 2007, as an inducement to Laurus to release its liens on six Boeing 727-200 airframes and eleven JT8D aircraft engines, the Company agreed to cancel the Original Warrant and replace the Original Warrant with two new warrants.
     The first warrant provides a right to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.55 per share (the “First Warrant”). The second warrant provides a right to purchase 4,216,657 shares of common stock at the original exercise price of $0.91 per share (collectively with the First Warrant, the “New Warrants”). All other terms of the Original Warrant remain unchanged, including the requirement that Laurus will not sell any shares for which it has exercised either of the New Warrants prior to March 29, 2008. Laurus also will not sell shares for which it has exercised either of the New Warrants during a 22 day trading period in a number that exceeds 20% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Company’s common stock for the 22 day trading period immediately preceding the sales.
     The foregoing description of the terms of the New Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the documents attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
     Sale of Airframes, Engines and Parts. On June 27, 2007, Kitty Hawk Aircargo, Inc. (“Aircargo”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into three sales agreements (the “Sales Agreements”) whereby it agreed to sell to AirLease International, Inc. (“AirLease”) each of the following: (1) six Boeing 727-200 airframes (the “Airframes”), (2) eleven JT8D aircraft engines (the “Engines”) and (3) certain Boeing 727-200 aircraft parts (the “Parts”). The aggregate purchase price for the Airframes, Engines and Parts was $3,500,000. The Company used the net proceeds of the sale of the Airframes, Engines and Parts to pay down indebtedness. In addition, the Company agreed with Laurus to maintain $1.0 million of the net proceeds as reserves under the Credit Facility as consideration for the release of Laurus’ security interest in the Airframes, Engines and Parts.
     The foregoing description of the terms of the Sales Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the documents attached hereto as Exhibits 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
     Lease Agreements. Aircargo and AirLease also entered into an Airframe Lease Agreement, under which AirLease will lease the Airframes back to Aircargo effective as of May 1, 2007. The initial term of each Airframe lease ranges from April 2008 to August 2008. The term of each Airframe lease may be extended at the option of Aircargo. In the event Aircargo extends the lease for an Airframe and a “C Check” comes due for such Airframe, AirLease is responsible for the first $850,000 of the expenses for such “C Check,” and Aircargo is responsible for the balance. Aircargo is responsible for maintaining insurance on the Airframes.

     (g) The term “Security Agreement” means the Security Agreement dated as of March 29, 2007 among the Holder, the Company and various Subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time.

          1.1 Number of Shares Issuable upon Exercise. From and after the date hereof through and including the Expiration Date, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part (but in increments of no less than 10,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), by delivery of an original or fax copy of an exercise notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.
          1.2 Fair Market Value. For purposes hereof, the “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:
     (a) If the Company’s Common Stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange or another national exchange or is quoted on the National or Capital Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”), then the closing or last sale price, respectively, reported for the last trading day immediately preceding the Determination Date.

          1.3 Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the holder hereof acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder any rights to which such holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such holder any such rights.
          1.4 Trustee for Warrant Holders. In the event that a bank or trust company shall have been appointed as trustee for the holders of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have all the powers and duties of a warrant agent (as hereinafter described) and shall accept, in its own name for the account of the Company or such successor person as may be entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.
     2. Procedure for Exercise.
          2.1 Delivery of Stock Certificates, Etc., on Exercise. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares in accordance herewith. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within three (3) trading days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
          2.2 Exercise. (a) Payment may be made either (i) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common

3


 

Stock being acquired upon exercise of this Warrant, (ii) by delivery of this Warrant, or shares of Common Stock and/or Common Stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 2.2(b) below, or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods, for the number of shares of Common Stock specified in such Exercise Notice (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein.
     (b) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
             
X= Y(A-B)      
 
A
   
         
 
  Where X =   the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
 
       
 
  Y =   the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)
 
       
 
  A =   the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)
 
       
 
  B =   the Exercise Price per share (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
     3. Effect of Reorganization, Etc.
          3.1 Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. (a) In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (i) effect a reorganization, (ii) consolidate with or merge into any other person (other than as contemplated in Section 3.1(b) below), or (iii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.

4


 

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.1(a) above, the Holder agrees that, in the event of a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person in which the sole consideration is cash, the Holder shall, upon the written request of the Company, elect either (i) to exercise this Warrant, in which event such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction or (ii) not to exercise this Warrant, in which event this Warrant will expire upon the consummation of such transaction. The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of its request relating to the foregoing (together with such reasonable information as the Holder may request in connection with the contemplated transaction giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to the Holder not less than ten (10) days prior to the closing of the proposed transaction.
          3.2 Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1, or, if the Holder shall so instruct the Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its principal office in New York, NY as trustee for the Holder.
          3.3 Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3 (but other than any consolidation or merger referred to in Section 3.1(b)), this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3 (other than under the circumstances set forth in Section 3.1(b)), then the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder will be delivered to the Holder or the Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.
     4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock; Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on (i) outstanding Common Stock or (ii) any preferred stock issued by the Company, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder shall

5


 

thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise (taking into account the provisions of this Section 4). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Exercise Price be less than the par value of the Common Stock.
     5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).
     6. Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.
     7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. (a) Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and Section 7(b) below, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a “Transferor”) in whole or in part; provided, that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Transferor may make no more than 10 transfers (except for transfers to Affiliated Transferees). On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, the Company at its expense (but with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.
     (b) If, at any time when no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Transferor shall propose to sell all or any portion of this Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby (the “Offered Warrant Rights”) to any Person (a “Proposed Transferee”), other than

6


 

to an Affiliated Transferee, such sale shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
     (i) The Transferor shall first offer to sell the Offered Warrant Rights to the Company, at the same price and on terms identical to those terms that the Transferor intends to sell the Offered Warrant Rights to the Proposed Transferee; provided that the Company shall have no right to acquire the Offered Warrant Rights unless the Company acquires all of the Offered Warrant Rights. If such proposed sale involves consideration other than cash, the Company shall have the right to elect to pay, in lieu of such non-cash consideration, cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of such non-cash consideration. Such offer shall be made by a written notice (the “Notice of Proposed Sale”) delivered to the Company not less than 15 days prior to the proposed sale. Such Notice of Proposed Sale shall set forth the identity of the Proposed Transferee, the portion of this Warrant proposed to be sold (which may be all of this Warrant) and the terms and conditions of the proposed sale, including price and any other material terms and conditions of the proposed sale.
     (ii) If the Company does not accept the offer made by the Transferor with respect to all of the Offered Warrant Rights within the 15-day period provided above, then the Transferor shall have the right for a period of 90 days following the 15th day after the Company shall have received the Notice of Proposed Sale in accordance with Section 7(b)(i) above, to sell up to all of the Offered Warrant Rights to the Proposed Transferee and/or any other transferee, but at not less than the price, and upon terms not more favorable to the Proposed Transferee or other transferee, than were contained in the Notice of Proposed Sale. Any Offered Warrant Rights not sold within such 90-day period shall continue to be subject to the requirements of this Section 7.
     8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of a customary affidavit and an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense (but with payment by the Holder of any applicable taxes or charges, if any) will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
     9. Registration Rights; Lock-Up. (a) The Holder has been granted certain registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and Holder dated as of March 29, 2007, as the same may be amended, modified and/or supplemented from time to time.
     (b) Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, sell any shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of this Warrant prior to March 29, 2008 (the “Initial Lock-Up”). Additionally, following the Initial Lock-Up and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, sell shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of this Warrant during a twenty two (22) day trading period in a number that exceeds twenty percent (20%) of

7


 

the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the twenty two (22) day trading period immediately preceding such sales by the Holder, inclusive of the day of such sales. Such restriction shall in no way affect the Holder’s right to exercise all or any portion of this Warrant as provided in this Warrant.
     10. Maximum Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates of any amount greater than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (whether or not, at the time of such exercise, the Holder and its Affiliates beneficially own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock).

          1.3 Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the holder hereof acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder any rights to which such holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such holder any such rights.
          1.4 Trustee for Warrant Holders. In the event that a bank or trust company shall have been appointed as trustee for the holders of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have all the powers and duties of a warrant agent (as hereinafter described) and shall accept, in its own name for the account of the Company or such successor person as may be entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.
     2. Procedure for Exercise.
          2.1 Delivery of Stock Certificates, Etc., on Exercise. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares in accordance herewith. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within three (3) trading days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
          2.2 Exercise. (a) Payment may be made either (i) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon exercise of this Warrant, (ii) by delivery of this Warrant, or shares of Common Stock and/or Common Stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 2.2(b) below, or (iii) by a combination of any of the

3


 

foregoing methods, for the number of shares of Common Stock specified in such Exercise Notice (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein.
     (b) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
             
 
  X=   Y(A-B)    
 
     
 
A
   
         
 
  Where X =   the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
 
       
 
  Y =   the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)
 
       
 
  A =   the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)
 
       
 
  B =   the Exercise Price per share (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
     3. Effect of Reorganization, Etc.
          3.1 Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. (a) In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (i) effect a reorganization, (ii) consolidate with or merge into any other person (other than as contemplated in Section 3.1(b) below), or (iii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.
     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.1(a) above, the Holder agrees that, in the event of a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person in which the sole consideration is cash, the Holder shall, upon the written request of

4


 

the Company, elect either (i) to exercise this Warrant, in which event such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction or (ii) not to exercise this Warrant, in which event this Warrant will expire upon the consummation of such transaction. The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of its request relating to the foregoing (together with such reasonable information as the Holder may request in connection with the contemplated transaction giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to the Holder not less than ten (10) days prior to the closing of the proposed transaction.
          3.2 Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1, or, if the Holder shall so instruct the Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its principal office in New York, NY as trustee for the Holder.
          3.3 Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3 (but other than any consolidation or merger referred to in Section 3.1(b)), this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3 (other than under the circumstances set forth in Section 3.1(b)), then the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder will be delivered to the Holder or the Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.
     4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock; Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on (i) outstanding Common Stock or (ii) any preferred stock issued by the Company, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of

5


 

which (a) the numerator is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise (taking into account the provisions of this Section 4). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Exercise Price be less than the par value of the Common Stock.
     5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).
     6. Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.
     7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. (a) Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and Section 7(b) below, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a “Transferor”) in whole or in part; provided, that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Transferor may make no more than 10 transfers (except for transfers to Affiliated Transferees). On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, the Company at its expense (but with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.

6


 

     (b) If, at any time when no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Transferor shall propose to sell all or any portion of this Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby (the “Offered Warrant Rights”) to any Person (a “Proposed Transferee”), other than to an Affiliated Transferee, such sale shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
          (i) The Transferor shall first offer to sell the Offered Warrant Rights to the Company, at the same price and on terms identical to those terms that the Transferor intends to sell the Offered Warrant Rights to the Proposed Transferee; provided that the Company shall have no right to acquire the Offered Warrant Rights unless the Company acquires all of the Offered Warrant Rights. If such proposed sale involves consideration other than cash, the Company shall have the right to elect to pay, in lieu of such non-cash consideration, cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of such non-cash consideration. Such offer shall be made by a written notice (the “Notice of Proposed Sale”) delivered to the Company not less than 15 days prior to the proposed sale. Such Notice of Proposed Sale shall set forth the identity of the Proposed Transferee, the portion of this Warrant proposed to be sold (which may be all of this Warrant) and the terms and conditions of the proposed sale, including price and any other material terms and conditions of the proposed sale.
          (ii) If the Company does not accept the offer made by the Transferor with respect to all of the Offered Warrant Rights within the 15-day period provided above, then the Transferor shall have the right for a period of 90 days following the 15th day after the Company shall have received the Notice of Proposed Sale in accordance with Section 7(b)(i) above, to sell up to all of the Offered Warrant Rights to the Proposed Transferee and/or any other transferee, but at not less than the price, and upon terms not more favorable to the Proposed Transferee or other transferee, than were contained in the Notice of Proposed Sale. Any Offered Warrant Rights not sold within such 90-day period shall continue to be subject to the requirements of this Section 7.
     8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of a customary affidavit and an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense (but with payment by the Holder of any applicable taxes or charges, if any) will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
     9. Registration Rights; Lock-Up. (a) The Holder has been granted certain registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and Holder dated as of March 29, 2007, as the same may be amended, modified and/or supplemented from time to time.
     (b) Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, sell any shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of this Warrant prior to March 29, 2008 (the “Initial Lock-Up”). Additionally, following the Initial Lock-Up and provided that no Event of Default

7


 

shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, sell shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of this Warrant during a twenty two (22) day trading period in a number that exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the twenty two (22) day trading period immediately preceding such sales by the Holder, inclusive of the day of such sales. Such restriction shall in no way affect the Holder’s right to exercise all or any portion of this Warrant as provided in this Warrant.
     10. Maximum Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates of any amount greater than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (whether or not, at the time of such exercise, the Holder and its Affiliates beneficially own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock).

     14. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder shall be mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder who has so furnished an address to the Company.

This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.
