WARRANT AGREEMENT
 
 
PREAMBLE
 
THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (“Warrant Agreement”), dated as of October 31, 2008 (the
“Closing Date”) is executed and delivered by AirTran Holdings, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (together with any successor thereto, the “Company”) and Bank of
Utah, not in its individual capacity, but as trustee under that certain trust
agreement dated as of October 30, 2008 (the “Trustee”), as the initial holder of
the Warrants (as hereinafter defined) in such trust capacity (the “Initial
Holder”) for the benefit of the Initial Holder and any subsequent registered
holders (the “Holders”) from time to time of the Warrants.
 
WHEREAS, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary AirTran Airways, Inc. (“Airways”)
has entered into that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit and
Reimbursement Agreement dated even date herewith (the “Credit Agreement”) with
the Initial Holder pursuant to which the Initial Holder has agreed to procure
letters of credit on behalf of Airways and to provide financing to Airways as
pursuant to the terms and conditions of such Credit Agreement in exchange, for
among other consideration set forth in the Credit Agreement, warrants (each a
“Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants” and any certificates evidencing the
Warrants being hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Certificates”) entitling
the Holder thereof to initially purchase 4,700,886 shares of the Company’s
common stock $.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to
adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof; and
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the financial accommodations set forth in
the Credit Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy
and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and for the purpose of defining the
respective rights and obligations of the Company, and the Holders, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I
 
ISSUANCE, FORM, EXECUTION, DELIVERY AND
REGISTRATION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
 
SECTION 1.1.  Issuance of Warrants.  Each Warrant Certificate shall evidence the
number of Warrants specified therein, and each Warrant evidenced thereby shall
represent the right, subject to the provisions contained herein and therein, to
purchase from the Company (and the Company shall issue and sell to such Holder)
one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock (the shares of Common
Stock purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant being hereinafter referred to as
the “Warrant Shares” and, where appropriate, such term shall also mean the other
securities or property purchasable and deliverable upon exercise of a Warrant as
provided in Article V) at the price specified herein and therein, in each case
subject to adjustment as provided herein and therein.
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
SECTION 1.2.  Form of Warrant Certificate.  The Warrants will be issued only in
certificated form.  The Warrant Certificates evidencing the Warrants to be
delivered pursuant to this Warrant Agreement shall be substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, dated as of the Closing Date.
 
SECTION 1.3.  Execution of Warrant Certificates.  The Warrant Certificates shall
be executed on behalf of the Company by its President or any Vice President and
attested to by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, under its corporate
seal.  Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present
or any future such officers.  The seal of the Company may be in the form of a
facsimile hereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise
reproduced on the Warrant Certificates.  Typographical and other minor errors or
defects in any such reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any Warrant Certificate that has been
delivered by the Company.
 
In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant
Certificates shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant Certificate so
signed shall be delivered to the applicable Holder or disposed of by the
Company, such Warrant Certificate nevertheless may be delivered or disposed of
as though the person who signed such Warrant Certificate had not ceased to be
such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf
of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such
Warrant Certificate, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at
the date of the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement any such person
was not such an officer.
 
SECTION 1.4.  Delivery.  The Warrant Certificates shall be numbered and shall be
registered in the Warrant Register (as defined in Section 1.5 hereof).  The
Company shall deliver the Warrant Certificates to the Initial Holder.
 
SECTION 1.5.  Registrar and Warrant Register.  The Company will keep, at the
office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose, a register or
registers in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
the Company shall provide for the registration of, and registration of transfer
and exchange of, Warrants as provided in this Article.  The Company in such
capacity and each Person designated by the Company from time to time as a Person
authorized to register the transfer and exchange of the Warrants is hereinafter
called, individually and collectively, the “Registrar.”  Initially, the Company
shall act as Registrar.  The Company may appoint a third party to serve as
Registrar.
 
The Company will at all times designate one Person (who initially will be the
Company and who need not be a Registrar) to act as repository of a master list
of names and addresses of the Holders (the “Warrant Register”).  The Company
will act as such repository unless and until some other Person is, by written
notice from the Company to the Holders, designated by the Company to act as
such.  The Company shall cause each Registrar to furnish to such repository, on
a current basis, such information as to all registrations of transfer and
exchanges effected by such Registrar, as may be necessary to enable such
repository to maintain the Warrant Register on as current a basis as is
practicable.
 
 
 
2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
SECTION 1.6.  Direct Registration of Warrants.  So long as the Common Stock is
eligible to participate in a direct registration system or other comparable book
entry system, whether pursuant to the requirements of any national securities
exchange or otherwise, the Company may provide for direct registration or other
book entry registration of the Warrants and the terms of this Agreement shall be
modified mutatis muntandis.
 
SECTION 1.7.  Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
 
(a) Transfer and Exchange.  When Warrants are presented to the Company with a
request:
 
(i) to register the transfer of the Warrants; or
 
(ii) to exchange such Warrants for an equal number of Warrants, the Company
shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if the
requirements under this Warrant Agreement as set forth in this Section 1.7 for
such transactions are met; provided, however, that the Warrants presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange:
 
 
(x)
shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Holder thereof or by its
attorney, duly authorized in writing,  and

 
 
(y)
in the case of Warrants the offer and sale of which has not been registered
under the Securities Act, and are presented for transfer or exchange prior to
(x) the date which is six months after the later of the date of original issue
(the “Issue Date”) and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of
the Company was the owner of such Warrant, or any predecessor thereto and (y)
such later date, if any, as may be required by any subsequent change in
applicable law (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”), such Warrants shall
be accompanied, in the sole discretion of the Company, by the following
additional information and documents, as applicable:

 
 
(A)
if such Warrant is being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration
in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder
to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto); or

 
 
(B)
if such Warrant is being transferred in reliance on any exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, a certification to that effect
(in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto) and an opinion of counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer is in
compliance with the Securities Act.

 
(b) Legends.
 
(i) Except to the extent permitted by paragraph (ii) of this Section 1.7(b),
each Warrant Certificate (and all Warrants issued in exchange therefor or
substitution thereof) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:
 
3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEITHER THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE NOR THE SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK, PAR VALUE $.001 PER SHARE, OF AIRTRAN HOLDINGS, INC. FOR WHICH THE
WARRANT IS EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  NEITHER THIS
WARRANT CERTIFICATE NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN NOR ANY SHARE OF
COMMON STOCK ACQUIRED UPON EXERCISE HEREOF MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED,
TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO,
REGISTRATION.
 
THE HOLDER OF THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE OR ANY
SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY FOR WHICH THE WARRANT IS EXERCISABLE, BY ITS
ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE WARRANTS
REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY, (B) PURSUANT TO
A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT, (C) FOR SO LONG AS THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT, TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL
BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS
OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE
IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (D) PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES TO
NON-U.S. PERSONS THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF
REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (E) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED
INVESTOR” WITHIN THE MEANING OF SUBPARAGRAPH (A)(1), (2), (3), (7) OR (8) OF
RULE 501 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT IS ACQUIRING THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY
THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF SUCH AN
INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR,” FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW
TO, OR FOR OFFER OR SALE IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY DISTRIBUTION IN VIOLATION OF
THE SECURITIES ACT OR (F) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE COMPANY’S, AS
APPLICABLE, RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE
(D), (E) OR (F) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION
AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, AND IN EACH OF
THE FOREGOING CASES, AN ASSIGNMENT IN THE FORM APPEARING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE IS COMPLETED AND DELIVERED BY THE TRANSFEROR TO THE
COMPANY.  THIS LEGEND SHALL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF A HOLDER AFTER THE
RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE.
 
4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF OCTOBER
31, 2008 BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND BANK OF UTAH, NOT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY
BUT AS TRUSTEE (THE “TRUSTEE”) UNDER THAT CERTAIN TRUST AGREEMENT DATED OCTOBER
30, 2008 AND AS IN SUCH TRUST CAPACITY AS THE INITIAL HOLDER (THE “INITIAL
HOLDER”) OF THE WARRANTS.  A COPY OF WHICH REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT IS ON
FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.
 
(ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Warrant pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act in accordance with this Section 1.7 or an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, the Company shall permit the Holder thereof
to exchange such Warrant Certificate for a Warrant Certificate that does not
bear the legend set forth above and rescind any related restriction on the
transfer of such Warrant; and
 
(c) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges.
 
(i) The Company shall execute the Warrants to permit registration of transfers
and exchanges.
 
(ii) All Warrants issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange thereof
shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits
under this Warrant Agreement as the Warrants surrendered upon the registration
of transfer or exchange.
 
(iii) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the
Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Warrant is registered as
the absolute owner of such Warrant, and the Company shall not be affected by
notice to the contrary.
 
(d) Payment of Taxes.  The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any exchange or transfer pursuant to this Section 1.7.
 
 
 
5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 1.8.  Lost, Stolen, Destroyed, Defaced or Mutilated Warrant
Certificates.  Upon receipt by the Company (or any agent of the Company), of
evidence satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction, defacement, or
mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to it and, in the case of mutilation or defacement, upon surrender thereof to
the Company (or any agent of the Company) for cancellation, then, in the absence
of notice to the Company (or any agent of the Company) that such Warrant
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser or holder in due course,
the Company shall execute and deliver or cause to be delivered by such agent, in
exchange for or in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed, defaced or mutilated
Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate representing a like number of
Warrants, bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously
outstanding.  Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate under this
Section 1.8, the Company (or any agent of the Company) may require payment from
the Holder of such Warrant Certificate of a sum sufficient to cover any tax,
stamp tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto
and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Company and any
third person Registrar) in connection therewith.  Every substitute Warrant
Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 1.8 in lieu of any
lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall constitute an additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the
limitations of rights set forth in) this Warrant Agreement equally and
proportionately with any and all other Warrant Certificates duly executed and
delivered hereunder.  The provisions of this Section 1.8 are exclusive with
respect to the replacement of lost, stolen, destroyed, defaced or mutilated
Warrant Certificates and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other
rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter
enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement of lost, stolen,
destroyed, defaced or mutilated Warrant Certificates.
 
SECTION 1.9.  Offices for Exercise, etc.  So long as any of the Warrants remain
outstanding, the Company will designate and maintain in the continental United
States: (a) an office or agency where the Warrant Certificates may be presented
for exercise, (b) an office or agency where the Warrant Certificates may be
presented for registration of transfer and for exchange, and (c) an office or
agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Warrants or of this Warrant Agreement may be served.  The Company may from time
to time change or rescind such designation, as it may deem desirable or
expedient.  The Company will give to each Holder written notice of the location
of any such office or agency and of any change of location thereof.  The Company
hereby designates its corporate offices in Orlando, Florida (the “Company
Office”), as the initial office maintained for each such purpose.
 
 
ARTICLE II
 
DURATION, EXERCISE OF WARRANTS AND EXERCISE PRICE
 
SECTION 2.1.  Duration of Warrants.  Subject to the terms and conditions
established herein, the Warrants shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time
on October 31, 2011 (the “Expiration Date”).  Warrants may be exercised on any
Business Day (as hereinafter defined) on or after the Exercisability Date (as
hereinafter defined) and on or prior to the Expiration Date.
 
 
6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any Warrant not exercised before the close of business on the Expiration Date
shall become void, and all rights of the Holder under the Warrant Certificate
evidencing such Warrant and under this Warrant Agreement shall cease.
 
SECTION 2.2. Exercise, Exercise Price, Settlement and Delivery.
 
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement, each Warrant Holder
shall have the right to purchase from the Company on or after the Exercisability
Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, one fully paid and non-assessable
Warrant Share per each Warrant such Holder owns, subject to adjustment in
accordance with Article V hereof, at the initial purchase price of $4.49 for
each Warrant Share purchased, subject to adjustment in accordance with Article V
hereof (the “Exercise Price”).
 
(b) Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, on or after the
Exercisability Date by (i) surrendering at the Company Office the Warrant
Certificate evidencing such Warrants with the form of election to purchase
Warrant Shares set forth on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate (the
“Election to Exercise”) duly completed and signed by the registered Holder or
Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof, including
the Trustee, or by a duly authorized attorney and (ii) paying in full the
Exercise Price for each such Warrant Share purchased and any other amounts
required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof.
 
(c) Simultaneously with the exercise of each Warrant, payment in full of the
Exercise Price shall be made (i) in cash or by certified or official bank check
payable to the order of the Company, delivered to the Company Office where the
Warrant Certificate is being surrendered, (ii) by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to a bank account designated by the Company, (iii) by delivery
of Warrant Certificates pursuant to Section 2.2(d) or (iv) any combination
thereof.  Subject to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement, the rights
represented by the Warrants shall be exercisable at the election of the Holders
thereof either in full at any time or from time to time in part.
 
(d) In the event that any Holder of Warrant Certificates delivers such Warrant
Certificates to the Company and indicates on the Election to Exercise that such
Holder intends to exercise all, or any portion of, the Warrants represented by
such Warrant Certificate to satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price in
respect thereof by virtue of the provisions of this Section 2.2(d), such Holder
shall become entitled to receive, instead of the number of Warrant Shares such
Holder would have received had the Exercise Price been paid in cash pursuant to
Section 2.2(c), a number of Warrant Shares in respect of the exercise of such
Warrants equal to the product of:
 
 
(A)
the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise of such Warrant
Certificates (or, if only a portion of such Warrant Certificates are being
exercised, issuable upon the exercise of such portion) multiplied by

 
 
(B)
the quotient of:

 
 
(i)
the difference of:

 
 
(X)
the per share Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of such
exercise; minus

 
 
(Y)
the Exercise Price at the time of such exercise; divided by

 
 
(ii)
the per share Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of such
exercise.

 
7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company and the Initial
Holder, on behalf of the Holders, hereby agree that the exercise of any Warrants
in accordance with this Section 2.2(d) shall be deemed to be a conversion of
such Warrants, pursuant to the terms of this Warrant Agreement and the Warrants,
into Warrant Shares to the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of
Rule 144(d)(3)(ii) so as to allow the Warrant Shares to be deemed to be acquired
at the same time as the Warrants.
 
(e) Upon such surrender of a Warrant Certificate and payment and collection of
the Exercise Price at any Company Office, such Warrant Certificate and payment
shall be promptly delivered to the Company but in no event later than the third
Business Day after surrender of such Warrant Certificate.  The “Exercise Date”
for a Warrant shall be the date when all of the items referred to in the first
sentence of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.2 are received by the
Company at or prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day and the
exercise of the Warrants will be effective as of such Exercise Date.  If any
items referred to in the first sentence of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this
Section 2.2 are received after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day,
the exercise of the Warrants to which such item relates will be effective on the
next succeeding Business Day.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an
exercise of Warrants on the Expiration Date, if all of the items referred to in
the first sentence of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.2 are received by
the Company at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Expiration
Date, the exercise of the Warrants to which such items relate will be effective
on the Expiration Date.
 
(f) Subject to Section 5.2 hereof, as soon as practicable after the exercise of
any Warrant or Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company upon
written order of the Holder shall (i) issue or cause to be issued to or upon the
written order of the Holder evidencing such exercised Warrant or Warrants, a
certificate or certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares to which such Holder
is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may
be directed by such Holder pursuant to the Election to Exercise, as set forth on
the reverse of the Warrant Certificate or (ii) if the Common Stock is then
eligible for registration pursuant to a direct registration system or other
“book entry” system, cause such Warrant Shares to be issued in uncertificated
form and registered in such direct registration system or other “book entry”
system.  Such certificate or certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares shall be
deemed to have been issued or such direct registration or book entry recorded
and any Persons who are designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have
become the Holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business
on the Exercise Date.  After such exercise of any Warrant or Warrants, the
Company shall also issue or cause to be issued to or upon the written order of
the Holder of such Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate, evidencing
the number of Warrants, if any, remaining unexercised (unless such Warrants
shall have expired).
 
 
8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 2.3.  Cancellation of Warrant Certificates.  In the event the Company
shall purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants, the Warrant Certificates
evidencing such Warrants shall be delivered to the Company, and if so delivered,
shall be canceled by it and retired.  The Company shall cancel all Warrant
Certificates properly surrendered for exchange, substitution, transfer or
exercise.
 
 
 
ARTICLE III
 
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO
RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANTS
 
SECTION 3.1. Enforcement of Rights.
 
(a) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Warrant Agreement, any
Holder of Warrant Certificates or holder of Warrant Shares, may, in and for its
own behalf, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or
proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, its right to exercise the
Warrant or Warrants evidenced by its Warrant Certificate as provided in such
Warrant Certificate and in this Warrant Agreement.
 
(b) Neither the Warrants nor any Warrant Certificate shall entitle the Holders
thereof to any of the rights of a holder of Common Stock, including, without
limitation, as applicable, the right to vote or to receive any dividends or
other payments or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of
the meetings of stockholders or for the election of directors of the Company or
to share in the assets of the Company in the event of the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs or any other matter, or any
rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company.
 
 
ARTICLE IV
 
CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
 
SECTION 4.1.  Payment of Taxes.  The Company will pay all documentary stamp
taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrants and of the Warrant Shares
upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax or other governmental charge which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the issue of any Warrant Certificates or any
certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than the registered Holder
surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant.  In any such case, the Company shall
not be required to issue or deliver such Warrant Certificate or certificate for
Warrant Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting issuance thereof
shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or other governmental
charge or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such
tax or other governmental charge has been paid or an exemption is available
therefrom.
 
 
 
9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 4.2.  Notice of Expiration Date.  The Company will give notice of the
Expiration Date to all Holders of the then outstanding Warrants, not less than
90 and not more than 120 days prior to the Expiration Date; provided, however,
the failure of the Company to deliver any such notice shall not extend or
otherwise affect the Expiration Date.
 
SECTION 4.3.  Reservation of Common Stock.  The Company covenants and agrees
that it will at all times cause to be reserved and kept available out of its
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock such number of shares of Common
Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all Warrants
issued hereunder and, except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of
such securities, all other rights, warrants or options exercisable into, and the
conversion of all securities convertible into, Common Stock.  All of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and
validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and were not issued in
violation of, and are not subject to, any preemptive or similar
rights.  Schedule 4.3 sets forth (a) the Capitalization of the Company as of
September 30, 2008 and (b) the pro forma Capitalization of the Company after
giving effect to the issuance and sale of Warrants and Warrant Shares.  The
Company has not issued any Common Stock, preferred stock, options, restricted
stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock since
September 30, 2008 through the Closing Date.  “Capitalization” shall mean (a)
the number of authorized and outstanding shares of Common Stock, (b) the number
of authorized and outstanding shares of each series of preferred stock, (c) a
description of outstanding securities convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of all such outstanding rights under ordinary circumstances without
regard to make-whole events, potential accrued but unpaid interest and elections
to pay in kind, (d) the number of options and shares of restricted stock
outstanding under the Company’s equity benefit plans and a description of such
plans to the extent not previously disclosed in the Company’s filings with the
SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30,
2008, and (e) the number of any other outstanding shares or securities.
 
SECTION 4.4.  Warrant Shares to be Duly Authorized and Issued, Fully Paid and
Nonassessable.  The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all such
action as may be necessary to ensure that all Warrant Shares delivered upon the
exercise in full of any Warrants, at the time of delivery of the certificates
representing such shares, shall be duly and validly authorized and issued and
fully paid and nonassessable, free of any preemptive rights in favor of any
Person in respect of such issuance and free of any security interest, lien or
other encumbrance of any kind or nature created by, arising out of actions of,
the Company, any subsidiary or any affiliate of the Company.
 
SECTION 4.5.  Reports.  For so long as any Warrants are outstanding, if at any
time the Company is not subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the Securities Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”), to the extent permitted, and distribute or cause to be distributed
to each Holder copies of the quarterly and annual financial information that
would have been required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q
and 10-K and all current reports that would have been required to be filed with
the SEC on Form 8-K had the Company been subject to the reporting requirements
of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  All such financial information
shall include consolidated financial statements (including footnotes as would
have been required by applicable SEC rules) prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.  Such annual financial information
shall also include an opinion thereon expressed by an independent accounting
firm of established national reputation.  All such consolidated financial
statements shall be accompanied by a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation.” The financial and other
information to be distributed to Holders shall be mailed to the Holders at their
respective addresses appearing in the Warrant Register, within 120 days after
the end of the Company’s fiscal year and within 60 days after the end of each of
the first three quarters of each such fiscal year.  From and after the date of
effectiveness of any registration statement filed with the SEC with respect to
the Registerable Securities, as such term is defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement of even date herewith, the Company will use commercially reasonable
efforts to file with the SEC such Forms 10-Q and 10-K and any other information
required to be filed by it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 4.6.  Private Placement Numbers.  The Company covenants and agrees to
obtain, and thereafter maintain, a private placement number in respect of the
Warrants and a private placement number or CUSIP number, as appropriate, in
respect of the Warrant Shares from the CUSIP Service Bureau of Standard &
Poor’s, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc.
 
SECTION 4.7.  Right of Action.  All rights of action in respect of the Warrants
are vested in the respective Holders of the Warrant Certificates, and any Holder
of any Warrant Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of any other
Warrant Certificate, may, on its own behalf and for its own benefit, enforce,
and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the
Company to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, its right to exercise the
Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate in the manner provided in such
Warrant Certificate and in this Warrant Agreement.
 
SECTION 4.8.  Registration Rights.  All shares of Common Stock or other
securities issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall have the
registration rights and related obligations set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement, and the parties hereto shall each execute such agreements, documents
and instruments in connection therewith as reasonably requested to fulfill the
purposes of this Section 4.8.  By receipt of a Warrant, each Holder agrees that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall not be required to “net cash
settle” the Warrants or the Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Warrants due
to the failure or inability of the Company to file or cause the effectiveness
of, or maintain the effectiveness of, any registration statement contemplated by
the Registration Rights Agreement and the sole and exclusive remedy for such
failure or inability shall be the liquidated damages as provided for by the
terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
SECTION 4.9.  Listing/Inclusion for Quotation.  The Company covenants and agrees
to (i) if the Common Stock is then listed on the New York Stock Exchange to list
all Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on the New
York Stock Exchange (in the case of such New York Stock Exchange listing, such
listing shall occur promptly and in any event within 30 days of the date of this
Agreement) or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on the New York Stock
Exchange to list all Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants on such other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is
then listed or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities
exchange and the Common Stock is authorized for quotation on the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) to cause
all Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants to also be so
authorized for quotation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 4.10.  Survival.  The agreements of the Company contained in Section
4.1, Section 4.7, Section 4.8 and Section 4.9 shall survive the exercise of and
the expiration of the Warrants.
 
 
ARTICLE V
 
ADJUSTMENTS
 
SECTION 5.1. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares
Issuable.  The Exercise Price and the number and kind of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as follows:
 
(a) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.  In case the Company shall
hereafter (A) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in
shares of Common Stock, (B) reclassify by subdivision its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (C) reclassify by combination
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (i) the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately
prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Warrant Certificate
thereafter exercised shall be entitled to receive the number of Warrant Shares
which such Holder would have owned immediately following such action had such
Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto, and (ii) the Exercise Price
shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such
adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable immediately thereafter.  An adjustment made pursuant to this Section
5.1(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date, in the case of
a dividend, and shall become effective immediately after the effective date, in
the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.  If, as a result of
an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.1(a), the Holder of any Warrant
Certificate thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive shares of two
or more classes of Capital Stock of the Company, the Board of Directors of the
Company shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, the allocation of the
adjusted Exercise Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital
Stock.
 
(b) Reclassification, Combinations, Mergers, etc.  If (A) any capital
reorganization, reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock
(other than as set forth in Section 5.1(a) and other than a change in par value,
or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value provided
that the Company shall not increase the par value of the Common Stock to exceed
the Exercise Price), or (B) in case of any consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into another corporation or other entity (other than a merger in
which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or
other Capital Stock of the Company (other than a change in par value, or from
par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value or as a result of a
subdivision or combination)) or (C) in case of any sale or conveyance to another
corporation or other entity of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company shall be effected in such a way that the holders of Common Stock shall
be entitled to receive shares of common stock, other securities or assets
(whether such stock, other securities or assets are issued or distributed by the
Company or another Person) with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock,
then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the Company or such a successor or
purchasing corporation or other entity, as the case may be, shall forthwith make
lawful and adequate provision whereby the Holder of such Warrant Certificate
then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to receive on exercise of such
Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and assets
receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, change, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
that such holders would have been entitled to receive upon exercise of such
Warrant had such Warrant been exercised immediately before such
reclassification, reorganization, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Article V and enter into a supplemental warrant
agreement so providing.
 
12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For purposes of this Section 5.1(b), “shares of stock and other securities and
property” receivable upon a reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance shall include stock of any successor or acquiring corporation
of any class which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any
evidence of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are
convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon
the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event including
any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock.  If
the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise of Warrants under the
supplemental warrant agreement is an affiliate of the formed, surviving or
transferee corporation or other entity, such issuer shall join in the
supplemental warrant agreement.
 
In case of any such reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation or
dispositions of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation or other entity
shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each
and every covenant and condition of this Warrant Agreement to be performed and
observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder,
subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in
good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to
provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares into which each Warrant is
exercisable, which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Article V.
 
(c) Issuances of Common Stock or Rights.  In the event that the Company shall,
at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, issue, sell, distribute
or otherwise grant (in any such case, a “Distribution”) shares of Common Stock
or Rights, whether or not such Rights are immediately exercisable, convertible
or exchangeable, at a Consideration Per Share lower than the per share Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of such issuance or sale, or if the
Company shall amend any of the provisions of any Rights, including, without
limitation, a change in the purchase, conversion, exchange or exercise price per
share of Common Stock of any such Right, or the Aggregate Consideration
Receivable applicable to any such Right (other than under or by reason of
provisions designed to protect against dilution upon an event which results in
an adjustment pursuant to this Article V which is no less favorable to the
Holders than such adjustment is to the holder of such Rights), then, immediately
after the date of such issuance or sale,
 
13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A)           the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each
Warrant shall be increased so that the Holders thereafter will be entitled to
receive the number of Warrant Shares determined by multiplying:
 
(i) the number of shares of Common Stock such Holders would have been entitled
to receive immediately before the date of such issuance or sale had such Holders
exercised their Warrants immediately prior thereto; by
 
(ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of: (X) the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date plus (Y) the number of
additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase (or into
which the Rights so offered are initially convertible or exchangeable or
exercisable, as the case may be), and the denominator of which shall be the sum
of: (X) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date plus (Y)
the number of shares of Common Stock that the Aggregate Consideration Receivable
would purchase at such per share Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
date of such issuance or sale, and
 
(B)           the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such Distribution
shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such Distribution by the quotient of:
 
(i)           the sum of: (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such Distribution; plus (B) the quotient of: (X) the
Aggregate Consideration Receivable; divided by (Y) the per share Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock; in each case immediately prior to such Distribution;
divided by
 
(ii)           the sum of: (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such Distribution; plus (B) the number of shares of Common
Stock so issued or sold (or initially issuable pursuant to any Rights).
 
No adjustment shall be made pursuant to subparagraph (A) above which would
decrease the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a
Warrant.  No adjustment shall be made pursuant to subparagraph (B) above which
would increase the Exercise Price of a Warrant.
 
14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For purposes of the foregoing calculation, the total maximum number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange, as applicable, of
all Rights shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such
Distribution and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and the Company
shall be deemed to have received as consideration therefor the Aggregate
Consideration Receivable applicable thereto after giving effect to such
exercise, conversion or exchange.  Except as provided in Section 5.1(g), no
additional adjustments of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual
exercise, exchange or conversion, as applicable, of such Rights.
 
(d) Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Company shall, at any time or
from time to time after the date hereof, make or pay any dividend of, or
distribute to holders of Common Stock (in any such case, a “Dividend”), shares
of capital stock, any of its property or assets, including, without limitation,
cash, evidences of its indebtedness, Rights or other securities (in each case,
other than dividends payable in Common Stock) (collectively, “Dividend
Securities”), then, in each such case, the Company shall reserve shares or other
units of such Dividend Securities for distribution to the Holders upon exercise
of their Warrants so that, in addition to the Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise thereof, such Holders will receive upon such exercise the amount and
kind of such Dividend Securities that such Holders would have received if the
Holders had, immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the
Dividend Securities, exercised the Warrants.
 
(e) Self-Tenders.  If, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof,
the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall repurchase, by self-tender
offer or otherwise, any shares of Common Stock of the Company or any Right at a
weighted average purchase price in excess of the per share Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock then on the Business Day immediately prior to the earliest of
(i) the date of such repurchase, (ii) the commencement of an offer to repurchase
or (iii) the public announcement of either (such date being referred to as the
“Determination Date”), the Company shall (x) offer to repurchase the Warrant
Shares on the same terms and conditions on which it has offered to repurchase
the shares of Common Stock that were the subject of the self-tender or (y) offer
to repurchase the Warrants on the same terms and conditions on which it has
offered to repurchase the rights that were the subject of the self-tender.
 
(f) Fair Market Value of Consideration Received.  Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary herein, for purposes of this Article V, if any Rights shall be
issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other securities of the
Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Rights by the parties thereto, such Rights
shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration, provided, however,
that if any such Rights have an exercise price (to the extent applicable) equal
to or greater than the per share Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
date of issuance of such Rights, then such Rights shall be deemed to have been
issued for consideration equal to such exercise price.
 
(g) Deferral of Certain Adjustments.  No adjustment need be made for a change in
the par value of the Common Stock; provided, however, the Company shall not
increase the par value of the Common Stock to exceed the Exercise Price.  All
calculations under this Section 5.1 shall be made to the nearest 1/1,000 of one
cent or to the nearest 1/1,000th of a Warrant Share, as the case may be.
 
15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(h) Other Adjustments.  In the event that at any time, as a result of an
adjustment made pursuant to this Article V, Holders shall become entitled to
receive any securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock,
thereafter the number of such other securities so receivable upon exercise of
each Warrant and the Exercise Price applicable to such exercise shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares and the
Exercise Price contained in this Article V, and all other relevant provisions of
this Article V that are applicable to shares of Common Stock shall be applicable
to such other securities.  In case at any time or from time to time the Company
shall take any action in respect of its outstanding shares of Common Stock,
other than any action described in this Article V, or any event occurs as to
which the provisions of this Article V are not strictly applicable, then the
number of Warrant Shares for which each Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted
in such manner as may be equitable in the circumstances and on terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares
and the Exercise Price contained in this Article V and as shall be reasonably
necessary, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company,
to protect the exercise rights of the Holders, but in no event shall any such
adjustment have the effect of adversely affecting the Holders.  If the Company
shall at any time or from time to time issue, sell or distribute any shares of
capital stock (other than Common Stock), any evidences of indebtedness, any
property or assets, Rights or other securities, then, in each such case, such
issuance, sale or distribution shall be deemed to be of, or in respect of,
Common Stock for purposes of this Article V.
 
(i) Statement of Warrant Certificates.  Irrespective of any adjustment in the
number or kind of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant or
the Exercise Price, Warrant Certificates theretofore or thereafter issued shall
continue to express the same number and kind of Warrant Shares and Exercise
Price as are stated in the Warrant Certificates initially issuable pursuant to
this Warrant Agreement.
 
(j) Increased Warrant Shares or Reduced Exercise Price.  From time to time, the
Company may, for a period of not less than 20 Business Days, in its discretion,
upon written notice to the Holders, increase the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant, without making any adjustment to
the Exercise Price, or reduce the Exercise Price, without making any adjustment
to the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant;
provided that in the event that the Company elects to make any such adjustment,
the Company shall make the same or proportional adjustment, as the case may be,
with respect to all outstanding Warrants.
 
(k) No Adjustments for Certain Incentive Compensation.  Notwithstanding any
other provision hereof, it is expressly understood that the Warrants shall not
be adjusted with respect to (a) Common Stock or Rights, in any case, that may be
issued to any of the Company’s officers or employees pursuant to stock purchase
plans, stock grant plans, stock option plans or other similar plans of the
Company that have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company,
including, without limitation, under the AirTran Holdings, Inc. 2002 Long Term
Incentive Plan, the AirTran Holdings, Inc. 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
1993 Incentive Stock Options Plan, 1994 and 1996 stock option plans, Airways
Corporation’s 1995 Stock Option Plan, and Airways Corporation’s 1995 Director
Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Plans”), to the extent that shares of
Common Stock or other securities issued or granted under such Plans are issued
or granted at a price, or with an exercise price, that is no less than the per
share Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the date of grant or issuance and
such grant or issuance, together with all previous grants and issuances under
all such Plans, represents not more than 10% of the fully diluted Common Stock
at the time of such grant or issuance, (b) the issuance of any Warrant Shares,
or (c) the issuance of any Common Stock upon conversion of either the
Convertible Notes or the Senior Notes or the repurchase, at maturity or
otherwise, of either the Convertible Notes or the Senior Notes.
 
16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(l) No Impairment.  The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of
incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Section 5.1 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holders against impairment.
 
(m) Further Equitable Adjustments.  If, after one or more adjustments to the
Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 5.1, the Exercise Price cannot be
reduced further without falling below the greater of (i) the par value of the
Common Stock or (ii) the lowest positive exercise price legally permissible for
warrants to acquire shares of common stock, the Company shall make further
adjustments to compensate the Holders, consistent with the foregoing principles,
as the Board of Directors of the Company, acting in good faith, deems necessary,
including an increase in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
outstanding Warrants and/or a cash payment to the Holders.
 
(n) Other Adjustments.
 
(i) Adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 5.1 successively whenever
any of the events referred to in Section 5.1(a) through Section 5.1(e),
inclusive, shall occur.
 
(ii) If any Warrant shall be exercised subsequent to the record date for any of
the events referred to in this Section 5.1, but prior to the effective date
thereof, appropriate adjustments shall be made immediately after such effective
date so that the Holder of such Warrant on such record date shall have received,
in the aggregate, the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other
securities or property or assets that it would have owned or been entitled to
receive on such effective date had such Warrant been exercised prior to such
record date.
 
(iii) Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company
shall not, for purposes of the adjustments set forth in this Section 5.1 be
deemed outstanding.
 
(o) Expiration of Rights.  Upon the expiration of any Rights referred to in this
Section 5.1, without the exercise, exchange or conversion, as applicable,
thereof, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall, upon such
expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be such Exercise Price and such
number of Warrant Shares as would have been had such Exercise Price and such
number of Warrant Shares originally been adjusted (or had the original
adjustment not been required, as the case may be) as if:
 
17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i) the only shares of Common Stock so issued were the shares of Common Stock,
if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Rights; and
 
(ii) such shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the
consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise plus the
aggregate consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the
issuance, sale or grant of all such Rights, whether or not exercised; provided,
however, that no such readjustment shall have the effect of increasing the
Exercise Price by an amount in excess of the amount of the reduction initially
made in respect of the issuance, sale, or grant of such Rights.
 
SECTION 5.2. Fractional Interest.  The Company shall not be required to issue
fractional shares of Common Stock on the exercise of Warrants.  If more than one
Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same
Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon
such exercise shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock which may be acquired on exercise of the Warrants so
presented.  If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the
provisions of this Section 5.2, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant, the
Company shall either (i) pay an amount in cash calculated by the Company to
equal the per share Fair Market Value of the Common Stock multiplied by such
fraction of a share of Common Stock computed to the nearest whole cent or (ii)
aggregate all such fractional shares of Common Stock into a whole number of
shares and sell such aggregated fractional shares on behalf of the Holders
entitled thereto in a public or private sale and distribute, on a pro rata
basis, the net cash proceeds therefrom to such Holders.  While the Company will
use its best efforts to secure the best available sale price for such aggregated
fractional shares, such price shall not necessarily be the highest price
obtainable for such shares.  By their acceptances of the Warrant Certificates,
Holders expressly waive any and all rights to receive any fraction of a share of
Common Stock or a stock certificate or scrip representing a fraction of a share
of Common Stock.
 
SECTION 5.3. When Adjustment Not Required.  If the Company shall take a record
of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive
a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall,
thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon
its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase
rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking
of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall
be rescinded and annulled.
 
SECTION 5.4. Treasury Stock.  The sale or other disposition of any issued shares
of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company shall be
deemed an issuance thereof and, except for a voluntary tender or exchange offer
made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company subject to Section 13(e) of
the Exchange Act, a repurchase thereof and designation of such shares as
treasury stock shall not be deemed to be a redemption thereof for the purposes
of this Warrant Agreement.
 
18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 5.5. Notices to Holders.  Whenever the number of Warrant Shares is
adjusted or the Exercise Price in respect thereof is adjusted, as herein
provided, the Company shall promptly give to each Holder notice of such
adjustment or adjustments and shall promptly deliver to each Holder an Officer’s
Certificate (confirmed by a certificate from the Company’s independent certified
public accountants) setting forth: (i) the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Purchase Price of such shares after
such adjustment; (ii) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment;
and (iii) the computation by which such adjustment was made.
 
So long as any Warrant is outstanding, within ninety (90) days of the end of
each fiscal year of the Company, the Company shall deliver to each Holder an
Officer’s Certificate setting forth: (i) the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price of such shares as of
the end of such fiscal year; (ii) a brief statement of the facts requiring each
adjustment, if any, required to be made in such fiscal year; and (iii) the
computation by which each such adjustment was made.

covered thereby, in each case, without deduction for any fees, expenses or
underwriters discounts; provided, further, that if all or any portion of the
