"Agreement"), by and between BE Aerospace, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the

              WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive are parties to a certain
Employment Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2005 (the "Employment Agreement");

              WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have agreed to the
Executive's retirement as an employee and an officer of the Company; and

              NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements

              (b) Following the Effective Date, the Executive will remain a
member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") for the remainder
of his current term. The Company shall nominate the Executive as a director for
at least one additional term thereafter. For so long as the Executive continues
to serve on the Board and he is not an employee of the Company, the Executive
shall be entitled to all compensation and benefits afforded to "non-employees
directors."

              2. Severance Payments and Benefits. In consideration of the
covenants set forth herein and the waiver and release of claims set forth below,
and provided that the Executive does not revoke this Agreement during the
Revocation Period (as defined in Section 6 below), the Company shall provide the
Executive with the following severance payments and benefits:

              (a) Severance Payments. The Company shall pay the Executive a lump
sum cash payment equal to $ 792,500, which shall be payable on the first
business day following the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date, or as
soon as administratively practicable thereafter (the "Payment Date").

              (b) Retirement Payments. The Executive acknowledges that the
Company has deposited to the Executive's Retirement Trust a pre-tax lump-sum
amount of $198,124.99 (the "Final Deposit"), which represents his remaining
unfunded Retirement Compensation under Section 7.6 of the Employment Agreement.
Within thirteen (13) business days following the Final Deposit, all funds in the
Executive's Retirement Trust will be transferred to the Executive in a lump sum
amount in accordance with the terms and conditions of the trust agreement.

              (c) Treatment of Stock Options. All stock options previously
granted or awarded to the Executive under any stock options plan of the Company,
including, without limitation, the Amended and Restated 1989 Stock Option Plan,
the 1996 Stock Option Plan and the 2001 Stock Option Plan (together with the
individual grant documents, the "Stock Option Plans") shall, to the extent
vested as of the Effective Date, remain exercisable in accordance with, the
terms of the applicable Stock Option Plan, through their stated expiration
dates. Attached hereto as Exhibit A, is a list of the Executive's outstanding

              (e) Accrued Amounts. Within ten (10) business days following the
expiration of the Revocation Period, the Company shall pay the Executive a lump
sum cash payment in an amount equal to (i) all accrued but unpaid compensation

              (g) Continued Indemnification. The Executive shall continue to be
indemnified to the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws, rules and
regulations and the corporate governance documents of the Company and any other
member of the Company Group in accordance with their terms. The Company agrees

advancement of expenses) with respect to the Executive in a manner consistent
with how such provisions are interpreted and applied by the Company (or the
relevant member of the Company Group) to then active senior officers of the
Company or of the relevant member of the Company Group. The Executive shall
continue to be covered under the Company's directors' and officers' liability
insurance policies in effect from time to time to the same extent he would have

              (a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the provisions
incorporated herein, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the
parties hereto with respect to the matters covered hereby and supersedes and
replaces any express or implied, written or oral, prior agreement, plan or
arrangement with respect to the terms of the Executive's employment and the
termination thereof which the Executive may have had with the Company Group
(including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement), but excluding the
Stock Option Plans and any of the plans referenced in Sections 2(d) or 2(i) of
this Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 5(b), this Agreement may only be
amended only by a written document signed by the parties hereto.

              (b) Section 409A.

              (i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any plan,
         program, agreement or arrangement to the contrary, payment of any
         compensation to the Executive under any plan, program, agreement or
         arrangement shall not be made until the


                                       4
<PAGE>

         Payment Date. The provisions of this Section 5(b)(i) shall only apply
         if required to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

              (ii) If any provision of this Agreement contravenes any
         regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the
         Code, or if any tax is imposed under such Section 409A on any payment
         to be received by the Executive hereunder, this Agreement or any
         provision hereof may be reformed by the Executive, subject to the
         consent of the Company which consent shall not be unreasonably
         withheld, to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original
         intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of
         Section 409A of the Code. The Executive agrees in good faith to
         consider any such reformation proposed by the Company.

              (iii) The provisions of Section 2(h) of this Agreement, mutatis
         mutandis, shall apply to any imposition of taxes on Executive under
         Section 409A of the Code so that Executive shall be fully grossed up
         for the amount of, and shall not be adversely affected by, such taxes.

              (c) Withholding Taxes. Any payments made or benefits provided to
the Executive under this Agreement shall be reduced by any applicable
withholding taxes.

              (d) Legal Fees. In the event of a dispute between the parties with
respect to any payments due hereunder in connection with a Change of Control,
the Company will pay the costs of any legal fees and related expenses incurred
in connection with such dispute. Such costs and expenses shall be advanced to
Executive currently as reasonably required to continue such action or
proceeding.

              (e) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, without giving
effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

              (f) Waiver. The failure of any party to this Agreement to enforce
any of its terms, provisions or covenants shall not be construed as a waiver of
the same or of the right of such party to enforce the same. Waiver by any party
hereto of any breach or default by another party of any term or provision of
this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach or default.

              (g) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remainder of the
Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Moreover, if any
one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be held to be
excessively broad as to duration, activity or subject, such provisions shall be
construed by limiting and reducing them so as to be enforceable to the maximum
extent allowed by applicable law.

              (h) Notices. Any notices required or made pursuant to this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when
delivered or mailed by United States certified mail, return receipt requested,
