FORM OF

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

KITTY HAWK 2003 LONG TERM EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

     1. Grant of Option. Pursuant to the Kitty Hawk 2003 Long Term Equity Incentive Plan
(the “Plan”) for Employees, Consultants and Outside Directors of Kitty Hawk, Inc., a Delaware
Corporation (the “Company”), and its Subsidiaries, the Company grants to

 

(the “Participant”),

who is an Employee of the Company, an option to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company as
follows:

On the date hereof, the Company grants to the Participant an option (the “Option” or
“Stock Option”) to purchase                      (___) full shares (the “Optioned
Shares”) of Common Stock at an Option Price equal to $___ per share. The Date of
Grant of this Stock Option is                     .

The “Award Period” shall commence on the Date of Grant and shall expire on the date immediately
preceding the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant (or the date immediately
preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Date of Grant, in the case of a ten percent
(10%) or more stockholder as provided in Code Section 422). The Stock Option is intended to be an
Incentive Stock Option.

     2. Subject to Plan. The Stock Option and its exercise are subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control. The capitalized terms used herein
that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan. The Stock
Option is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board or the Committee and
communicated to the Participant in writing.

     3. Vesting; Time of Exercise; Holding Period.

     a. Except as specifically provided in this Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), and
subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Stock Option shall
be fully exercisable on the Date of Grant;

     b. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and subject to certain
restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Optioned Shares shall vest in three
equal annual installments, with the first installment vesting on the anniversary of the date
of the grant of the Stock Option (                    ) and each subsequent installment vesting on
each successive                     .

1

 

     In the event that a Change of Control occurs, then upon the effective date of such
Change of Control, provided the Participant is employed by (or, if the Participant is a
Consultant, is providing services to) the Company or a Subsidiary from the Date of Grant to
the date of such Change of Control, the total Optioned Shares not previously vested shall
thereupon immediately become fully vested. In the event of a conflict between (i) the
definition of a Change of Control in the Plan and in the Participant’s employment agreement
with the Company (if any) or (ii) the time of acceleration of a Participant’s Optioned
Shares under this Agreement, any prior option agreement of the Participant with the Company
or the Plan and under the Participant’s employment agreement with the Company (if any), the
terms of the Participant’s employment agreement shall control.

     c. If the Optioned Shares received upon exercise of this Stock Option are not fully
vested as described in Section 3.b. above at the time of exercise of the Stock
Option, the unvested Optioned Shares issued to the Participant shall be Restricted Stock,
subject to the conditions of Section 6.5(a) and (b) of the Plan. The
Restriction Period for such Restricted Stock shall commence on the date of exercise and
shall expire on the date the Optioned Shares otherwise would vest as described in
Section 3.b. above.

     Upon the issuance to Participant of a certificate for Restricted Stock, Participant
shall endorse such certificate in blank or execute a stock power in form satisfactory to the
Company in blank and deliver such certificate and executed stock power to the Company. The
provisions of this paragraph shall be specifically performable by the Company in a court of
equity or law.

     In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service prior to the end of the
Restriction Period, any shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement and the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to repurchase the
Restricted Stock by paying, as soon as practicable after the event causing forfeiture of
such shares (but in any event within five (5) business days after such event), cash, in an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the total consideration paid by the Participant for such
forfeited shares or (ii) the Fair Market Value of such forfeited shares as of the date of
such event. If the Company elects not to repurchase the Restricted Stock upon forfeiture,
the Participant shall retain such Restricted Stock free of restriction under the Plan.

     4. Term; Forfeiture.

     a. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the extent the unexercised
portion of the Stock Option relates to Optioned Shares which are not vested on the date of
the Participant’s Termination of Service, the Stock Option will be terminated on that date.
The unexercised portion of the Stock Option that relates to Optioned Shares which are vested
will terminate and be forfeited at the first of the following to occur:

     i. 5 p.m. on the date the Award Period terminates;

2

 

     ii. 5 p.m. on the date which is 365 days following the date of the Participant’s
Termination of Service due to death or Total and Permanent Disability;

     iii. immediately upon the Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company
(or a Subsidiary) for Cause (as defined herein);

     iv. 5 p.m. on the date which is 90 days following the date of the Participant’s
Termination of Service for any reason other than due to Participant’s death or Total
and Permanent Disability or by the Company (or a Subsidiary) for Cause; or

     v. 5 p.m. on the date the Company causes any portion of the Option to be
forfeited pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

     “Cause” shall mean Participant’s:

     i. conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction of a felony or serious
misdemeanor involving moral turpitude;

     ii. willful disregard of any written directive of the Board, provided the
written directive is not inconsistent with the Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws of the Company or applicable law;

     iii. breach of his or her fiduciary duty under circumstances that involve
personal profit;

     iv. breach of a material term of his or her employment agreement (if any) with
the Company (or one of its Subsidiaries); or

     v. neglect of his or her duties that has a material adverse effect on the
Company.

     5. Who May Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3
and 4 above, during the lifetime of the Participant, the Stock Option may be exercised only by
the Participant, or by the Participant’s guardian or personal or legal representative. If the
Participant’s Termination of Service is due to his death prior to the date specified in Section
4.a.i. hereof, or Participant dies prior to the termination dates specified in Section
4.a. hereof, and the Participant has not exercised the Stock Option as to the maximum number of
vested Optioned Shares as set forth in Section 3 hereof as of the date of death, the
following persons may exercise the vested portion of the Stock Option on behalf of the Participant
at any time prior to the earliest of the dates specified in Section 4 hereof: the personal
representative of his estate, or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Stock Option by
bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Participant; provided that the Stock Option
shall remain subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Plan, and applicable laws, rules,
and regulations.

3

 

     6. No Fractional Shares. The Stock Option may be exercised only with respect to full
shares, and no fractional share of stock shall be issued.

     7. Manner of Exercise. Subject to such administrative regulations as the Committee
may from time to time adopt, the Stock Option may be exercised by the delivery of written notice to
the Committee setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock
Option is to be exercised, the date of exercise thereof (the “Exercise Date”) which shall be at
least one (1) day after giving such notice unless an earlier time shall have been mutually agreed
upon, and whether the Optioned Shares to be exercised will be considered as deemed granted under an
Incentive Stock Option as provided in Section 12. On the Exercise Date, the Participant shall
deliver to the Company consideration with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to
be purchased, payable as follows: (a) cash, check, bank draft, or money order payable to the order
of the Company, (b) Common Stock or Restricted Stock (with the prior approval of the Committee)
owned by the Participant on the Exercise Date, valued at its Fair Market Value on the Exercise
Date, and which the Participant has not acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior to
the Exercise Date, and/or (c) in any other form of valid consideration that is acceptable to the
Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that if the Option Price is
paid in Restricted Stock, the stock received by the Participant pursuant to such exercise shall
also be Restricted Stock.

     Upon payment of all amounts due from the Participant, the Company shall cause certificates for
the Optioned Shares then being purchased to be delivered to the Participant (or the person
exercising the Participant’s Stock Option in the event of his death) at its principal business
office within five (5) business days after the Exercise Date. In no event may the Stock Option be
exercised or shares of Common Stock be issued pursuant to this Stock Option if the exercise or the
issuance thereof would violate applicable law or the rules or regulations of a stock exchange or
inter-dealer quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted.

     If the Participant fails to pay for any of the Optioned Shares specified in such notice or
fails to accept delivery thereof, then the Stock Option, and right to purchase such Optioned Shares
may be forfeited at the sole discretion of the Company.

     8. Tax Requirements. Subject to Section 8.6 of the Plan, the Company or, if
applicable, any Subsidiary (for purposes of this Section 8, the term “Company” shall be
deemed to include any applicable Subsidiary), shall have the right to deduct from all amounts
hereunder paid in cash or other form, any Federal, state, local, or other taxes required by law to
be withheld in connection with this Award. The Participant may pay the Company the amount of any
taxes that the Company is required to withhold in connection with the Participant’s income arising
with respect to this Award. Such payment may be made (i) by the delivery of cash to the Company in
an amount that equals or exceeds (to avoid the issuance of fractional shares under (iii) below) the
required tax withholding obligations of the Company; (ii) if the Company, in its sole discretion,
so consents in writing, the actual delivery by the exercising Participant to the Company of shares
of Common Stock other than (A) Restricted Stock, or (B) Common Stock that the Participant has not
acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior to the date of exercise, which shares so
delivered have an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals or exceeds (to avoid the issuance of
fractional shares under (iii) below) the

4

 

required tax withholding payment; (iii) if the
Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, the Company’s withholding of a number of
shares to be delivered upon the exercise of the Stock Option other than shares that will constitute
Restricted Stock, which shares so withheld have an aggregate fair market value that equals (but
does not exceed) the required tax withholding payment; or (iv) any combination of (i), (ii), or
(iii). The Company may, with the consent of the Participant, withhold any such taxes from any
other cash remuneration otherwise paid by the Company to the Participant.

     9. Nonassignability. This Stock Option may not be transferred, assigned, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise conveyed or encumbered other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.

     10. Rights as Stockholder. The Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with
respect to any shares covered by the Stock Option until the issuance of a certificate or
certificates to the Participant for the Optioned Shares. The Optioned Shares shall be subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement regarding such Optioned Shares. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 11 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights
for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such certificate or certificates.

     11. Adjustment of Number of Optioned Shares and Related Matters. The number of shares
of Common Stock covered by the Stock Option, and the Option Prices thereof, shall be subject to
adjustment in accordance with Articles 11 - 13 of the Plan.

     12. Incentive Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, this Stock Option
is an Incentive Stock Option. To the extent the number of Optioned Shares exceeds the limit set
forth in Section 6.4 of the Plan, such Optioned Shares shall be deemed granted pursuant to
a Nonqualified Stock Option. Unless otherwise indicated by the Participant in the notice of
exercise pursuant to Article 8 of the Plan, upon any exercise of this Stock Option, the
number of exercised Optioned Shares that shall be deemed to be exercised pursuant to an Incentive
Stock Option shall equal the total number of Optioned Shares so exercised multiplied by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which is the number of unexercised Optioned Shares that could then be
exercised pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option and (ii) the denominator of which is the then total
number of unexercised Optioned Shares.

     13. Disqualifying Disposition. In the event that Common Stock acquired upon exercise
of this Stock Option is disposed of by the Participant in a “Disqualifying Disposition,” such
Participant shall notify the Company in writing within thirty (30) days after such disposition of
the date and terms of such disposition. For purposes hereof, “Disqualifying Disposition” shall
mean a disposition of Common Stock that is acquired upon the exercise of this Stock Option (and
that is not deemed granted pursuant to a Nonqualified Stock Option under Section 12) prior
to the expiration of either two years from the Date of Grant of this Stock Option or one year from
the transfer of shares to the Participant pursuant to the exercise of this Stock Option.

     14. Participant’s Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the
Participant hereby agrees that he will not exercise the Stock Option granted hereby, and that the

5

 

Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to the Participant hereunder, if the exercise
thereof or the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the
Company of any provision of any law, regulation of any governmental authority or rule or regulation
of any stock exchange or quotation service on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted. Any
determination in this connection by the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Participant are subject to all applicable laws,
rules, and regulations.

     15. Investment Representation. Unless the Common Stock is issued to him or her in a
transaction registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, by his or her execution
hereof, the Participant represents and warrants to the Company that all Common Stock which may be
purchased hereunder will be acquired by the Participant for investment purposes for his or her own
account and not with any intent for resale or distribution in violation of federal or state
securities laws. Unless the Common Stock is issued to him in a transaction registered under the
applicable federal and state securities laws, all certificates issued with respect to the Common
Stock shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment legend and shall be held indefinitely,
unless they are subsequently registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws or
the Participant obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company
and its counsel, that such registration is not required.

     16. Participant’s Acknowledgments. The Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of
the Plan, which is annexed hereto, and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and
provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Option subject to all the terms and provisions thereof.
The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or
interpretations of the Committee or the Board, as appropriate, upon any questions arising under the
Plan or this Agreement.

     17. Law Governing. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle
of Delaware law that might refer the governance, construction, or interpretation of this agreement
to the laws of another state).

     18. No Right to Continue Service or Employment. Nothing herein shall be construed to
confer upon the Participant the right to continue in the employ or to provide services to the
Company or any Subsidiary, whether as an employee or as a consultant, or interfere with or restrict
in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to discharge the Participant as an employee
or consultant at any time.

     19. Legal Construction. In the event that any one or more of the terms, provisions,
or agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall be held by a Court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement shall not affect any other term, provision,
or agreement that is contained in this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed in all
respects as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement had never been
contained herein.

6

 

     20. Covenants and Agreements as Independent Agreements. Each of the covenants and
agreements that is set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant and agreement
independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of
action of the Participant against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise,
shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements
that are set forth in this Agreement.

FORM OF

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

KITTY HAWK 2003 LONG TERM EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

     1. Grant of Option. Pursuant to the Kitty Hawk 2003 Long Term Equity Incentive Plan
(the “Plan”) for Employees, Consultants and Outside Directors of Kitty Hawk, Inc., a Delaware
Corporation (the “Company”), and its Subsidiaries, the Company grants to

 

(the “Participant”),

an option to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company as follows:

On the date hereof, the Company grants to the Participant an option (the “Option” or
“Stock Option”) to purchase                      (___) full shares (the “Optioned
Shares”) of Common Stock at an Option Price equal to $  per share. The Date of
Grant of this Stock Option is                     .

The “Award Period” shall commence on the Date of Grant and shall expire on the date immediately
preceding the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant. The Stock Option is a
Nonqualified Stock Option.

     2. Subject to Plan. The Stock Option and its exercise are subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control. The capitalized terms used herein
that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan. The Stock
Option is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board or the Committee and
communicated to the Participant in writing.

     3. Vesting; Time of Exercise; Holding Period.

     a. Except as specifically provided in this Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), and
subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Stock Option shall
be fully exercisable on the Date of Grant.

     b. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and subject to certain
restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Optioned Shares shall vest in three
equal annual installments, with the first installment vesting on the anniversary of the date
of the grant of the Stock Option (                    ) and each subsequent installment vesting on
each successive                     .

     In the event that a Change of Control occurs, then upon the effective date of such
Change of Control, provided the Participant is employed by (or, if the Participant is a

1

 

Consultant, is providing services to) the Company or a Subsidiary from the Date of Grant to
the date of such Change of Control, the total Optioned Shares not previously vested shall
thereupon immediately become fully vested. In the event of a conflict between (i) the
definition of a Change of Control in the Plan and in the Participant’s employment agreement
with the Company (if any) or (ii) the time of acceleration of a Participant’s Optioned
Shares under this Agreement, any prior option agreement of the Participant with the Company
or the Plan and under the Participant’s employment agreement with the Company (if any), the
terms of the Participant’s employment agreement shall control.

     c. If the Optioned Shares received upon exercise of this Stock Option are not fully
vested as described in Section 3.b. above at the time of exercise of the Stock
Option, the unvested Optioned Shares issued to the Participant shall be Restricted Stock,
subject to the conditions of Section 6.5(a) and (b) of the Plan. The Restriction
Period for such Restricted Stock shall commence on the date of exercise and shall expire on
the date the Optioned Shares otherwise would vest as described in Section 3.b.
above.

     Upon the issuance to Participant of a certificate for Restricted Stock, Participant
shall endorse such certificate in blank or execute a stock power in form satisfactory to the
Company in blank and deliver such certificate and executed stock power to the Company. The
provisions of this paragraph shall be specifically performable by the Company in a court of
equity or law.

     In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service prior to the end of the
Restriction Period, any shares of Restricted Stock for which the Restriction Period has not
expired shall be forfeited pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Company may, in
its sole discretion, elect to repurchase the Restricted Stock by paying, as soon as
practicable after the event causing forfeiture of such shares (but in any event within five
(5) business days after such event), cash, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the total
consideration paid by the Participant for such forfeited shares or (ii) the Fair Market
Value of such forfeited shares as of the date of such event. If the Company elects not to
repurchase the Restricted Stock upon forfeiture, the Participant shall retain such
Restricted Stock free of restriction under the Plan.

     4. Term; Forfeiture.

     a. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the extent the unexercised
portion of the Stock Option relates to Optioned Shares which are not vested on the date of
the Participant’s Termination of Service, the Stock Option will be terminated on that date.

will terminate and be forfeited at the first of the following to occur:

     i. 5 p.m. on the date the Award Period terminates;

     ii. 5 p.m. on the date which is 365 days following the date of the Participant’s

(or a Subsidiary) for Cause (as defined herein);

     iv. 5 p.m. on the date which is 3 years following the date of the Participant’s
Termination of Service by the Participant for Retirement;

     v. 5 p.m. on the date which is 90 days following the date of the Participant’s
Termination of Service by the Company (or a Subsidiary) without Cause or by the
Participant with or without the consent of the Company, other than by reason of
Retirement; or

     vi. 5 p.m. on the date the Company causes any portion of the Option to be
forfeited pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

     “Cause” shall mean Participant’s:

     i. conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction of a felony or serious
misdemeanor involving moral turpitude;

     ii. willful disregard of any written directive of the Board, provided the
written directive is not inconsistent with the Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws of the Company or applicable law;

     iii. breach of his or her fiduciary duty under circumstances that involve
personal profit;

     iv. breach of a material term of his or her employment agreement (if any) with
the Company (or one of its Subsidiaries); or

     v. neglect of his or her duties that has a material adverse effect on the
Company.

     5. Who May Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3
and 4 above, during the lifetime of the Participant, the Stock Option may be exercised only by
the Participant, or by the Participant’s guardian or personal or legal representative. If the
Participant’s Termination of Service is due to his death prior to the date specified in Section
4.a.i. hereof, or Participant dies prior to the termination dates specified in Section
4.a. hereof, and the Participant has not exercised the Stock Option as to the maximum number of
vested Optioned Shares as set forth in Section 3 hereof as of the date of death, the
following persons may exercise the vested portion of the Stock Option on behalf of the Participant
at any time prior to the earliest of the dates specified in Section 4 hereof: the personal
representative of his estate, or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Stock Option by bequest or
inheritance or by reason of the death of the Participant; provided that the Stock Option shall
remain subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Plan, and applicable laws, rules, and
regulations.

3

 

     6. No Fractional Shares. The Stock Option may be exercised only with respect to full
shares, and no fractional share of stock shall be issued.

     7. Manner of Exercise. Subject to such administrative regulations as the Committee
may from time to time adopt, the Stock Option may be exercised by the delivery of written notice to
the Committee setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock
Option is to be exercised, the date of exercise thereof (the “Exercise Date”) which shall be at
least one (1) day after giving such notice unless an earlier time shall have been mutually agreed
upon. On the Exercise Date, the Participant shall deliver to the Company consideration with a
value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased, payable as follows: (a) cash,
check, bank draft, or money order payable to the order of the Company, (b) Common Stock or
Restricted Stock (with the prior approval of the Committee) owned by the Participant on the
Exercise Date, valued at its Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, and which the Participant has
not acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior to the Exercise Date, and/or (c) in any
other form of valid consideration that is acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion;
provided, however, that if the Option Price is paid in Restricted Stock, the stock
received by the Participant pursuant to such exercise shall also be Restricted Stock.

     Upon payment of all amounts due from the Participant, the Company shall cause certificates for
the Optioned Shares then being purchased to be delivered to the Participant (or the person
exercising the Participant’s Stock Option in the event of his death) at its principal business
office within five (5) business days after the Exercise Date. In no event may the Stock Option be
exercised or shares of Common Stock be issued pursuant to this Stock Option if the exercise or the
issuance thereof would violate applicable law or the rules or regulations of a stock exchange or
inter-dealer quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted.

     If the Participant fails to pay for any of the Optioned Shares specified in such notice or
fails to accept delivery thereof, then the Stock Option, and right to purchase such Optioned Shares
may be forfeited at the sole discretion of the Company.

     8. Tax Requirements. Subject to Section 8.6 of the Plan, the Company or, if

thereof or the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any
law, regulation of any governmental authority or rule or regulation of any stock exchange or
quotation service on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted. Any determination in this

account and not with any intent for resale or distribution in violation of federal or state
securities laws. Unless the Common Stock is issued to him in a transaction registered under the
applicable federal and state securities laws, all certificates issued with respect to the Common
Stock shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment legend and shall be held indefinitely,

agreements that is set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant and agreement
