Executive's designated beneficiary or beneficiaries under the policy or policies
maintained by Company and (2) such additional amount as shall be required to
hold Executive's estate, heirs, and such beneficiary or beneficiaries harmless
from any additional tax liability resulting from the failure by Company to
maintain the full amount of such required coverage.

                  (ii) DISABILITY INSURANCE. Subject to paragraph 3.2(iii),
during the period of this Agreement, Company shall maintain one or more policies
of disability insurance on Executive providing an aggregate benefit in the
amount of $2,000,000. Executive shall have the right to designate the
beneficiary or beneficiaries of the benefit payable pursuant to such policy or
policies up to an aggregate benefit in an amount equal to the aggregate policy
amounts, and may transfer ownership of such policy or policies (and any rights
of Executive under this paragraph 3.2(ii)) to any insurance trust, family trust
or other trust. Except as provided for in paragraph 3.2(iii) below, if for any
reason Company fails to maintain the full amount of insurance coverage required
pursuant to the preceding provisions of this paragraph 3.2(ii), Company shall,
in the event of the disability of Executive while employed by Company, pay
Executive's designated beneficiary or beneficiaries an amount equal to the sum
of (1) the difference between the sum of $2,000,000 and any disability benefit
payable to Executive under the policy or policies maintained by Company and (2)
such additional amount as shall be required to hold Executive harmless from any
additional tax liability resulting from the failure by Company to maintain the
full amount of such required coverage.

                  (iii) In connection with the insurance coverages described in
paragraphs 3.2(i) and (ii) above, and notwithstanding any other provisions of
paragraph 3.2, (a) Executive shall cooperate in all reasonable respects
regarding any physical/medical examinations required by the prospective
insuror(s) and (b) Company's obligations to provide the benefits described in
paragraphs 3.2(i) and 3.2(ii) above are conditioned on the willingness of
insurors to underwrite such insurance at "standard rates" based on the results
of such physical/medical examinations.

         3.3 OTHER PERQUISITES. During his employment hereunder, Executive shall
be afforded the following benefits as incidents of his employment:

         (i) AUTOMOBILE. Company shall provide Executive with a payment of
$1,000 per month to offset the costs of an automobile.

                  (ii) OTHER COMPANY BENEFITS. Executive and, to the extent
applicable, Executive's family, dependents and beneficiaries, shall be allowed
to participate, at his option, in all benefits, plans and programs, including
improvements or modifications of the same, which are now, or may hereafter be,
available to the highest level executives of the Company. Such benefits, plans
and programs may include, without limitation, profit sharing plan, thrift plan,
annual physical examinations, health insurance or health care plan, life
insurance, disability insurance, pension plan, vacation, sick leave, pass
privileges on each airline operated by the

                                       5
<PAGE>

Company or any of its affiliates or any successor or successors thereto, Flight
Benefits (as defined in paragraph 4.7) and the like. Company shall not, however,
by reason of this paragraph be obligated to institute, maintain, or refrain from
changing, amending or discontinuing, any such benefit plan or program, so long
as such changes are similarly applicable to executive employees generally;
provided, however, that Company shall not change, amend or discontinue
Executive's Flight Benefits without his consent.

                  (iii) RELOCATION EXPENSES. Company shall reimburse Executive
for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of moving such of his, and his family's,
household goods and other belongings as he may choose from his present home
(i.e., his permanent residence) in The Woodlands to the temporary home he shall
obtain for his family in Hawaii in connection with this employment, including
without limitation (a) packing, unpacking, shipping and insurance and (b) if
Executive chooses to buy a home in Hawaii, attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket
costs (including closing costs) incurred in connection with the purchase of a
new home in Hawaii. If, within one year from the date upon which Executive's
employment under this Agreement terminates for any reason, Executive and his
family shall vacate the home maintained by them in Hawaii, the Company shall (a)
promptly reimburse Executive or his estate, as the case may be, for the
reasonable out-of-pocket costs of moving such of his, and his family's,
household goods and other belongings as he or his legal representative may
choose from such home to The Woodlands or such other location as he or his legal
representative may designate in the mainland United States, and (b) in the event
that Executive shall at such time own such Hawaiian home, promptly reimburse
Executive or his estate, as the case may be, for the reasonable attorneys' fees
and other out-of-pocket costs (including closing costs) incurred in connection
with the sale of such home.

         4.4 CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS BY COMPANY. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, if any payment, distribution or provision of a
benefit by Company to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable,
distributed or distributable or provided or to be provided pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement or otherwise (a "Payment"), would be subject to an excise or
other special additional tax that would not have been imposed absent such
Payment (including, without limitation, any excise tax imposed by Section 4999
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), or any interest or penalties
with respect to such excise or other additional tax (such excise or other
additional tax, together with any such interest or penalties, are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), Company shall pay to Executive an
additional payment (a "Gross-up Payment") in an amount such that after payment
by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with
respect to such taxes), including any income taxes and Excise Taxes imposed on
any Gross-up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-up Payment
(taking into account any similar gross-up payments to Executive under any stock
incentive or other benefit plan or program of Company) equal to

                                       7
<PAGE>

the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Company and Executive shall make an
initial determination as to whether a Gross-up Payment is required and the
amount of any such Gross-up Payment. Executive shall notify Company in writing
of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service which, if successful, would require
Company to make a Gross-up Payment (or a Gross-up Payment in excess of that, if
any, initially determined by Company and Executive) within ten business days
after the receipt of such claim. Company shall notify Executive in writing at
least ten business days prior to the due date of any response required with
respect to such claim if it plans to contest the claim. If Company decides to
contest such claim, Executive shall cooperate fully with Company in such action;
provided, however, Company shall bear and pay directly or indirectly all costs
and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in
connection with such action and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on
an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest and
penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result of Company's action. If, as
a result of Company's action with respect to a claim, Executive receives a
refund of any amount paid by Company with respect to such claim, Executive shall
promptly pay such refund to Company. If Company fails to timely notify Executive
whether it will contest such claim or Company determines not to contest such
claim, then Company shall immediately pay to Executive the portion of such
claim, if any, which it has not previously paid to Executive.

         4.5 PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. Company's obligation to pay Executive
the amounts and to make the arrangements provided in this Article 4 shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances,
including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which Company (including its subsidiaries and affiliates) may have
against him or anyone else. All amounts payable by Company shall be paid without
notice or demand. Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment in
mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of
this Article 4, and the obtaining of any such other employment (or the
engagement in any endeavor as an independent contractor, sole proprietor,
partner, or joint venturer) shall in no event effect any reduction of Company's
obligations to make (or cause to be made) the payments and arrangements required
to be made under this Article 4.

         4.6 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. In light of the difficulties in estimating the
damages upon termination of this Agreement, Company and Executive hereby agree
that the payments and benefits, if any, to be received by Executive pursuant to
this Article 4 shall be received by Executive as liquidated damages. Payment of
the sums described in paragraphs 4.2(i)(a) and 4.3(i) shall be in lieu of any
severance benefit Executive may be entitled to under any severance plan or
policy maintained by Company.

         4.7 CERTAIN DEFINITIONS AND ADDITIONAL TERMS. As used herein, the
following capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned below:

                  (i) "Continuation Coverage" shall mean the continued coverage
of Executive and his eligible dependents under Company's welfare benefit plans
available to executives of Company who have not terminated employment (or the
provision of equivalent benefits), including, without limitation, medical,
health, dental, life insurance, disability, vision care, accidental death and
dismemberment, and prescription drug, at no greater cost to Executive than

                                       8
<PAGE>

that applicable to a similarly situated Company executive who has not terminated
employment; provided, however, that the coverage to Executive (or the receipt of
equivalent benefits) shall be provided under one or more of Company's insured
benefit plans, if possible, so that reimbursement or payment of benefits to
Executive thereunder shall not result in taxable income to Executive (and
Company shall exercise its reasonable best efforts to cover Executive under such
plans), and provided further that the coverage to Executive under a particular
welfare benefit plan (or the receipt of equivalent benefits) shall be suspended
during any period that Executive elects to receive comparable benefits from a
subsequent employer, and shall be reinstated upon Executive ceasing to so
receive comparable benefits and notifying Company thereof;

                  (ii) "Flight Benefits" shall mean flight benefits on each
airline operated by the Company or any of its affiliates or any successor or
successors thereto (the "System"), consisting of the highest priority space
available flight passes for Executive and Executive's eligible family members
(as such eligibility is in effect on the Effective Date), a Universal Air Travel
Plan (UATP) card (or, in the event of discontinuance of the UATP program, a
similar charge card permitting the purchase of air travel through direct billing
to the Company or any successor or successors thereto (a "Similar Card")) in
Executive's name for charging on an annual basis a maximum amount that is
consistent with the maximum amount allowable under the program applicable to the
Company's Board of Directors at the Effective Date, inclusive of any
improvements in such program thereafter, the highest category frequent flyer
cards available in the System ("Elite Cards") in the name of Executive and his
spouse for use on the System and a membership for Executive and his spouse in
the Company's airport executive club program (the "Executive Club").

                  (iii) As used for purposes of Flight Benefits, the term
"affiliates" of the Company means any entity controlled by, controlling, or
under common control with the Company, it being understood that control of an
entity shall require the direct or indirect ownership of a majority of the
outstanding capital stock of such entity.

                  (iv) Executive will be issued a UATP card (or Similar Card),
Elite Cards in Executive's and Executive spouse's names, a membership card in
the Executive Club for Executive and Executive's spouse, and an appropriate
flight pass identification card, each valid at all times during the term of
Executive's Flight Benefits.
