hereof.  Executive  may,  at  any  time  and  from  time  to  time,  designate a
beneficiary  to receive the severance compensation in the event of his death, or

material  adverse  effect  on  the  Executive.

(6A)     Change-in-Control.    If  Executive  elects to terminate his employment
         -----------------
for  any  reason  within  twelve  (12)  months  following  the  occurrence  of a
Change-in-Control (as defined below, the Company shall pay to Executive (subject
to  the  terms  hereof)  severance  compensation equal to nine (9) months (x) of
Executive's  base  salary  at  the  rate  of  base  salary in effect immediately
preceding  the  date  of  termination and (y) of the then current health benefit
coverage  in  effect.  The  Company shall pay the severance compensation in nine
(9)  monthly installments commencing thirty (30) business days after the date of
termination  of  Executive's  employment  with  the  Company; provided that such
                                                              -------- ----
severance  payments  shall be made to Executive only if Executive fully complies
with  the  surviving  terms  of  this  Agreement, including, without limitation,
Paragraphs  14 and 15 hereof.  Executive may, at any time and from time to time,
designate  a  beneficiary  to receive the severance compensation in the event of
his  death,  or  if no beneficiary is designated then the severance compensation
shall  be  paid  to Executive's estate.  If Executive's employment is terminated
for  any  reason  which  would entitle Executive to severance compensation under
both Paragraph (6) above and this Paragraph (6A) but for this sentence, then the
provisions  of  Paragraph  (6)  shall apply and the provisions of this Paragraph
(6A)  shall  not  apply.

     If Executive elects to terminate his employment for the reason set forth in
this  Section  (6A), then (i) if Executive subsequently obtains other employment
providing  him  with base salary and health benefit coverage equal to or greater
than  Executive's  base salary and health benefit coverage in effect immediately
preceding  the  date  of  termination, then the obligation of the Company to pay
severance compensation as provided for in this Section (6A) shall terminate upon
the  date  such  other  employment  begins  (with  a pro rata fractional monthly
payment  to  be  made  to Executive based on the number of days between the date
Executive's  new employment begins and the date of the last full monthly payment
of  severance  compensation  to Executive if the new employment begins on a date
other  than  the  beginning  of  a  monthly pay period for Executive's severance
compensation  )  and (ii) if Executive subsequently obtains employment providing
him  with  base  salary  and  health benefit coverage less than Executive's base
salary  and  health benefit coverage in effect immediately preceding the date of
termination,  then  the amount of the monthly payments of severance compensation
provided  for  in  this Section (6A) shall be reduced to the amount necessary to
make the sum of (A) Executive's base salary and health benefit coverage from his
new  employment  plus (B) the reduced monthly payment of severance compensation,
equal  to  the  original amount of the monthly payment of severance compensation
provided  for  in  this  Section  (6A)  prior  to  the  reduction.

     A  "Change-of-Control" means the occurrence of one or more of the following
         -----------------
events:

(i)     any  Person (including a Person's Affiliates and associates), other than

Permitted Holders beneficially own, in the aggregate, a lesser percentage of the
total voting power of the Common Stock of the Company or Ranger, as the case may
be, than such other Person and do not have the right or ability by voting power,
contract or otherwise to elect or designate for election a majority of the Board
of  Directors  of  the  Company  or  Ranger,  as  the  case  may  be;

(iii)     there  shall be consummated any consolidation or merger of the Company
or Ranger in which the Company or Ranger, respectively, is not the continuing or
surviving  corporation  or  pursuant to which the Common Stock of the Company or
Ranger  would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a
merger  or  consolidation  of  the Company or Ranger in which the holders of the
Common  Stock  of  the  Company  or  Ranger,  as  the  case  may be, outstanding
immediately  prior  to the consolidation or merger hold, directly or indirectly,
at least a majority of the Common Stock of the surviving corporation immediately
after  such  consolidation  or  merger;

(iv)     there  shall  be  consummated a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets  of  the  Company  or  Ranger  in  one  transaction  or series of related
transactions;  or

(v)     during  any  period  of  two  consecutive  years, individuals who at the
beginning  of  such  period constituted the Board of Directors of the Company or
Ranger  (together  with  any  new  directors  whose  election  by  such Board of
Directors or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the Company or
Ranger,  as  the  case  may be, has been approved by a majority of the directors
then  still  in office who either were directors at the beginning of such period
or  whose  election  or  recommendation for election was previously so approved)

Ranger,  as  the  case  may  be.

Paragraph  6 of this Agreement, Executive will not (for himself or on behalf of,
or  in  conjunction with any other person or persons, limited liability company,
partnership,  proprietorship, corporation or other business entity), directly or
indirectly,  own,  manage,  operate,  control,  be  employed  by,  consult with,
participate  in,  or  be connected in any manner with the ownership, management,
operation,  consulting  or  control  of  any  business  engaged in the Company's
Business  as defined below, and operating anywhere in North America, Continental
Europe  and  the  United  Kingdom,  the  Bahamas and any other country where the
Company  is  operating  or  has  a  joint  venture  on  the  date of Executive's

paragraph, is (a) to provide fueling services at airports, (b) to own or operate
fuel  storage  and  distribution  facilities,  (c)  to  provide ground handling,

class  of  stock in any publicly traded corporation, provided that Executive has

jurisdiction, without posting bond or other security, restraining Executive from
owning, managing, operating, controlling, being employed by, participating in or

available  to  the  Company  for such breach or threatened breach, including the
recovery  of monetary damages from Executive.  The Company will not unreasonably
prohibit  Executive  from  securing new employment after leaving the Company, so
long as such employment is not competitive (whether directly or indirectly) with

interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or
business  relation  and  the  Company (including, without limitation, making any
negative  statements  or  communications  about  the  Company).

amended  by  limiting  and  reducing it so as to be valid and enforceable to the
extent  compatible  with  applicable  law.

              -----------
contrary,  Executive's employment and this Agreement may be terminated by either
