16.4.5 A lump sum payment equal to the greater of: (i) two-times the sum of the Executive’s total salary and bonus during the 12-month period prior to the Change of Control, or (ii) two-times the sum of the average annual salary and average annual bonus paid to Executive during the three (3) years prior to the Change of Control, which shall be paid to Executive in lieu of any other Termination benefits under this Agreement other than those specified in this Section 16. Such amount shall be payable on the first regular payroll date (determined in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices) occurring after the effective date of such Termination;

16.4.6 If all or any portion of the amounts payable to Executive or his Estate under this Agreement or otherwise are subject in any calendar year to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or similar state tax and/or assessment), Company shall pay to Executive on or before March 15 of the next calendar year an amount necessary to place Executive in the same after-tax position as Executive would have been in had no such excise tax been imposed. The amount payable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be increased to the extent necessary to pay income and excise taxes due on such amount. The determination of the amount of any such additional amount shall initially be made by the independent accounting firm then employed by Company. If at a later date it is determined (pursuant to final regulations or published rulings of the IRS, final judgment of a court of

11

competent jurisdiction or otherwise) that the amount of excise taxes payable by Executive is greater than the amount initially so determined, then Company (or its successor) shall pay Executive, on or before March 15 of the next calendar year following such determination, an amount equal to the sum of (1) such additional excise taxes, (2) any interest, fines and penalties resulting from such underpayment, plus (3) an amount necessary to reimburse Executive for any income, excise or other taxes payable by Executive with respect to the amounts specified in (1) and (2) above, including any income, excise or other taxes payable with respect to such amounts, and the reimbursement provided by this clause. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 16 to the contrary, Executive may elect in his sole discretion not to have any portion of any payment be paid or not to have the vesting of any Options accelerated in order to avoid any “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code.

16.4.7 Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided in this Section 16, nor shall the amount of any payment be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer or otherwise.

The Executive recognizes and understands that in performing the duties and responsibilities of his employment as is set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to his employment by the Company prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Executive has occupied and will occupy a position of trust and confidence, pursuant to which the Executive has developed and acquired and will develop and acquire knowledge of non-public information with respect the Company’s business (“Confidential Information”). It is the expressed intent and agreement of the Executive and the Company that such Confidential Information shall be used in the furtherance of the Company’s business interests. The Executive therefore agrees that during the twelve (12) calendar month period following his resignation as Chairman he will not accept employment with or serve as a paid or unpaid consultant to an air carrier in direct competition with the Company where such employment or engagement would require the disclosure of Confidential Information which would cause material harm to the Company, provided, however, the Executive may accept such employment or engagement which would not require the disclosure of Confidential Information.

In the event Executive is made, or threatened to be made a party to any legal action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal or administrative, by reason of the fact that Executive is, or was, a director or officer of the Company or serves or served any other Affiliate in any capacity at the request of the Company, Executive shall be indemnified by the Company, and the Company shall pay Executive’s related expenses when and as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

12

Company recognizes that because of Executive’s special talents and opportunities, in the event of Termination by the Company, other than for Cause, Company acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Agreement, regarding further payment of base salary, incentives, and vesting and exercisability of options and other benefits constitute fair and reasonable provisions for the consequences of such Termination, do not constitute a penalty, and such payments and benefits shall not be limited or reduced by amounts the Executive might earn or be able to earn from any other employment or ventures during the remaining period of the Agreement. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Executive, his heirs, distributees and assigns, and the Company, its successors and assigns. Executive may not, without the expressed written consent of the Company, assign or pledge any rights or obligations hereunder to any person, firm or corporation. If the Executive should die while any amounts would still be payable to the Executive had he continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with this Agreement to the Executive’s estate, or to his Beneficiaries, if such beneficiary designation is so provided.

Except as required by law or with the consent of the Company or by laws of descent and distribution or permitted designation, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge or hypothecation or to execution, attachment, levy or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect.

Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by operation of law, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company) to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall, at Executive’s election, be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. In such event, the Executive shall be entitled to compensation equal to the greater of the benefit payable pursuant to Section 15.5 or Section 16.4. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as defined above and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

13

No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor there any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that specifically waived.

For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered and acknowledged or delivered by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, addressed, in the case of the Executive to the Executive at: Joseph B. Leonard at his then current primary residence, as the Company may, from time to time be notified, with a copy to Michael Gutt, Gutt Financial Management, 3414 Peachtree Rd., N.E., 103 Monarch Plaza, Atlanta, Georgia 30326, and in the case of the Company, to the attention to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of a change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not held so invalid, and each such other provision shall to the full extent consistent with the law continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the rest of such provision not held so invalid, and the rest of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement shall to the full extent consistent with the law continue in full force and effect.

27.1 Any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in. any way related to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or the interpretation hereof or any arrangements relating hereto or contemplated herein or the breach, termination or invalidity hereof or the provision or failure to provide for any other benefits on a Change of Control pursuant to any other bonus or compensation plans, stock option plan, stock ownership plan, stock purchase plan, life insurance plan or similar plan or agreement with

14

the Company and or an Affiliate as “change of control: may be defined in such other agreements or plans, which benefits constitute “Parachute Payments” shall be settled exclusively and finally by arbitration. If this Section 27 conflicts with any provision in any such plan or agreement, this provision requiring arbitration shall control.

27.2 Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association.
