         participant's Retention Award shall vest on April 2, 2005 and be paid

         including April 2, 2006.

         SECTION 3. Amendment to Section 5 of the Retention Program. Section 5
of the Retention Program is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

         5.       Special Rules Regarding Vesting and Payment of Retention
         Awards

                  The General Rules Regarding the Vesting and Payment of
         Retention Awards in Section 4 of the Program are subject to the
         following terms:

                  a.       Termination of Employment On or Before April 2, 2004
         Because of Disability or Death. If a participant's employment with
         Delta terminates on or before April 2, 2004 due to Disability (as
         defined in the Delta 2000 Performance Compensation Plan) or death, a
         pro rata portion of the participant's Retention Award shall vest on the
         date of such termination of employment and be paid in cash within 30
         days thereafter. The pro rata portion of the participant's Retention
         Award which shall vest under this Section 5(a) will be determined by
         multiplying the Retention Award by a fraction, (i) the numerator of
         which is the number of full and partial months (rounded to two decimal
         places) the participant was continuously employed by Delta during the
         period beginning on January 1, 2002 and ending on the date of such
         termination of employment; and (ii) the denominator of which is 27,
         provided, however, that in no event shall such fraction be greater than
         1.

                  b.       Termination of Employment During the Period Beginning
         April 3, 2004 and Ending April 2, 2006 Because of Disability or Death.
         If a participant's employment with Delta terminates during the period
         beginning April 3, 2004 and ending April 2, 2006 due to Disability or
         death, any unvested portion of the participant's Retention Award shall
         vest on the date of such termination of employment and be paid in cash
         within 30 days thereafter.

                  c.       Termination of Employment for Reasons Other Than
         Disability or Death. Except to the extent otherwise determined by the
         Committee, if a participant's employment with Delta terminates on or
         before April 2, 2006 for any reason other than Disability or death, any

                                        2

<PAGE>

         unvested portion of the participant's Retention Award shall immediately
         lapse and be forfeited at the time of such termination of employment.
         Any vested portion of the participant's Retention Award which has not
         been paid as of such termination of employment shall be paid in
         accordance with the terms of the Program.

                  d.       Change in Control On or Before April 2, 2004. If, on
         or before April 2, 2004, there is a Change in Control (as defined in
         the Delta 2000 Performance Compensation Plan) while a participant is
         employed by Delta, a pro rata portion of the participant's Retention
         Award shall vest on the date of the Change in Control and be paid in
         cash within 30 days thereafter. The pro rata portion of the
         participant's Retention Award which shall vest under this Section 5(d)
         will be determined by multiplying the Retention Award by a fraction,
         (i) the numerator of which is the number of full and partial months
         (rounded to two decimal places) the participant was continuously
         employed by Delta during the period beginning on January 1, 2002 and
         ending on the date of the Change in Control; and (ii) the denominator
         of which is 27, provided, however, that in no event shall such fraction
         be greater than 1.

                  e.       Change in Control During Period Beginning April 3,
         2004 and Ending April 2, 2006. If, during the period beginning April 3,
         2004 and ending April 2, 2006, there is a Change in Control while a
         participant is employed by Delta, any unvested portion of the
         participant's Retention Award shall vest on the date of the Change in
         Control and be paid in cash within 30 days thereafter.

                  f.       Discharge of Liabilities. The payment to a
         participant of amounts due under Section 5(d) or Section 5(e) of the
         Program shall discharge all liabilities of Delta to the participant (i)
         under the Program; and (ii) only with respect to the Program, under any
         executive retention protection agreement or employment agreement
         between Delta and the participant.

         SECTION 4. Amendment to Section 10 of the Retention Program. Section 10
of the Retention Program is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

         10.      Waiver of Retention Award in Connection With the Emergency
         Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2003

                  Notwithstanding anything in the Program to the contrary, in
         the event the Committee shall determine in its reasonable discretion
         that making any payment to which a participant may be otherwise
         entitled under the Program would cause Delta to violate its agreement
         to limit "Total Cash Compensation" to "Executive Officers" (each as
         defined under the agreement between Delta and the United States of
         America dated May 6, 2003 (the "Government Contract") entered into
         pursuant to

                                        3

<PAGE>

         the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2003) under
         Paragraph 4.1 of the Government Contract, such participant shall not be
         entitled to such payment and, instead, the Committee shall reduce such
         payment (in whole or in part) by an amount, determined by the Committee
         in its reasonable discretion, such that Delta shall not be in such
         violation. Further, in the event the Committee determines in its
         reasonable discretion that any previously made payment to a participant
         under the Program would cause Delta to violate Paragraph 4.1 of the
         Government Contract (such payment, an "Excess Payment"), upon
         notification from the Committee, such participant shall promptly repay
         such Excess Payment to Delta. Delta shall have the right to set-off any
         Excess Amount against any obligation to make a payment or honor a
         commitment to a participant.

         SECTION 5. Waiver of Delta's Negative Discretion in Connection with
Long-Term Performance Award. In consideration for the amendments to the
Retention Program as set forth herein, provided that Executive's employment with
Delta continues through December 31, 2003, Delta hereby waives the Committee's
right pursuant to Section 6 of Executive's Performance-Based Restricted Stock
Agreement dated January 25, 2001 to reduce the amount of Executive's performance
award payable in calendar year 2004 thereunder.

         SECTION 6. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall be effective as of the
date first above written.

         SECTION 7. Effect of Amendment. Except as amended or waived hereby, all
of the provisions of the Retention Program shall remain in full force and effect
without modification or waiver.

         SECTION 8. Entire Agreement. This Amendment constitutes the entire
agreement between Delta and Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof,
and supersedes any other prior agreement, written or oral, between the parties
with respect thereto. This Amendment may only be amended by written instrument
signed by both Delta and Executive.

         SECTION 9. Governing Law. This Amendment and all determinations made
and actions taken hereunder shall be governed by the internal substantive laws,
and not the choice of law rules, of the State of Georgia, and construed
accordingly, to the extent not superseded by applicable federal law.

         SECTION 10. Successors. This Amendment shall be binding upon
Executive's personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Delta and Executive have executed this Amendment.

EXECUTIVE                                       Delta Air Lines, Inc.

                                                By:
                                                    ----------------------------
-------------------                             Name:  [David Goode]
[Executive]                                     Title: [Chairman, Personnel &
                                                       Compensation Committee]<PAGE>

                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.16

         SEVERANCE COMPENSATION AGREEMENT dated as of February 11, 2004, between
O'Charley's Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the "Company"), and A. Chad Fitzhugh
(the "Executive").

         The Company's Board of Directors has determined that it is appropriate
to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of certain
members of the Company's senior management, including the Executive, to their
assigned duties without distraction in potentially disturbing circumstances
arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Company.

         This Agreement sets forth the severance compensation which the Company
agrees it will pay to the Executive if the Executive's employment with the
Company terminates under one of the circumstances described herein following a
Change In Control of the Company (as defined herein).

         1.       TERM. This Agreement shall terminate, except to the extent
that any obligation of the Company hereunder remains unpaid as of such time,
upon the earliest of (i) three years from the date hereof if a Change in Control
of the Company has not occurred prior to such date; (ii) the termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company based on death, Disability (as defined
in Section 3(b)), Retirement (as defined in Section 3(c)) or Cause (as defined
in Section 3(d)) or by the Executive other than for Good Reason (as defined in
Section 3(e)); and (iii) eighteen months from the date of a Change in Control of
the Company if the Executive has not terminated his employment for Good Reason
as of such time.

         2.       CHANGE IN CONTROL. No compensation shall be payable under this
Agreement unless and until (a) there shall have been a Change in Control of the
Company while the Executive is still an employee of the Company and (b) the
Executive's employment by the Company thereafter shall have been terminated in
accordance with Section 3. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change in Control
means the happening of any of the following:

                  (i)      any person or entity, including a "group" as defined
         in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, other than
         the Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary thereof, any employee benefit
         plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries becomes the beneficial
         owner of the Company's securities having 30% or more of the combined
         voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company that may
         be cast for the election of directors of the Company (other than as a
         result of an issuance of securities initiated by the Company in the
         ordinary course of business); or

                  (ii)     as the result of, or in connection with, any cash
         tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sale of
         assets or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing
         transactions, less than a majority of the combined voting power of the
         then outstanding securities of the Company or any successor corporation
         or entity entitled to vote generally in the election of the directors
         of the Company or such other corporation or entity after such
         transaction are held in the aggregate by the holders of the Company's
         securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of
         the Company immediately prior to such transaction; or

<PAGE>

                  (iii)    during any period of two consecutive years,
         individuals who at the beginning of any such period constitute the
         Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof,
         unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Company's
         shareholders, of each director of the Company first elected during such
         period was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors
         of the Company then still in office who were directors of the Company
         at the beginning of any such period.

         3.       TERMINATION FOLLOWING CHANGE IN CONTROL. (a) If a Change in
Control of the Company shall have occurred while the Executive is still an
employee of the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to the compensation
provided in Section 4 upon the subsequent termination of the Executive's
employment with the Company by the Executive or by the Company within eighteen
months of the Change in Control of the Company unless such termination is as a
result of (i) the Executive's death; (ii) the Executive's Disability (as defined
in Section (3)(b) below); (iii) the Executive's Retirement (as defined in
Section 3(c) below); (iv) the Executive's termination by the Company for Cause
(as defined in Section 3(d) below); or (v) the Executive's decision to terminate
employment other than for Good Reason (as defined in Section 3(e) below).

                  (b)      DISABILITY. If, as a result of the Executive's
incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Executive shall have been
absent from his duties with the Company on a full-time basis for six months and
within 30 days after written notice of termination is thereafter given by the
Company the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of
the Executive's duties, the Company may terminate this Agreement for
"Disability."

                  (c)      RETIREMENT. The term "Retirement" as used in this
Agreement shall mean termination by the Company or the Executive of the
Executive's employment based on the Executive's having reached age 65 or such
other age as shall have been fixed in any arrangement established with the
Executive's consent with respect to the Executive.

                  (d)      CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Executive's
employment for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement only, the Company shall
have "Cause" to terminate the Executive's employment hereunder only on the basis
of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement on the part of the Executive.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be deemed to have been
terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the
Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not
less than three-quarters of the membership of the Company's Board of Directors
(excluding the Executive if the Executive is then a member of the Board of
Directors) at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose (after
reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive,
together with the Executive's counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding
that in the good faith opinion of the Board the Executive was guilty of conduct
set forth in the second sentence of this Section 3(d) and specifying the
particulars thereof in detail.

                  (e)      GOOD REASON. The Executive may terminate the
Executive's employment for Good Reason at any time during the term of this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement "Good Reason" shall mean any of the
following (without the Executive's express written consent):

                                       2

<PAGE>

                  (i)      the assignment to the Executive by the Company of
         duties inconsistent with the Executive's position, duties,
         responsibilities and status with the Company immediately prior to a
         Change in Control of the Company, or a change in the Executive's titles
         or offices as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control of the
         Company, or any removal of the Executive from or any failure to reelect
         the Executive to any of such positions, except in connection with the
         termination of his employment for Disability, Retirement or Cause or as
         a result of the Executive's death or by the Executive other than for
         Good Reason;

                  (ii)     a reduction by the Company in the Executive's base
         salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased
         from time to time during the term of this Agreement;

                  (iii)    a relocation of the Company's principal executive
         offices to a location outside of Nashville, Tennessee, or the
         Executive's relocation to any place other than the location at which
         the Executive performed the Executive's duties prior to a Change in
         Control of the Company, except for required travel by the Executive on
         the Company's business to an extent substantially consistent with the
         Executive's business travel obligations at the time of a Change in
         Control of the Company;

                  (iv)     any material breach by the Company of any provision
         of this Agreement;

                  (v)      any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption
         of this Agreement by any successor or assign of the Company; or

                  (vi)     any purported termination of the Executive's
         employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination
         satisfying the requirements of Section 3(f), and for purposes of this
         Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective.

                  (f)      NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Any termination by the Company
pursuant to Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(d) shall be communicated by a Notice of
Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall
mean a written notice which indicates those specific termination provisions in
this Agreement relied upon and which sets forth in reasonable detail the facts
and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's
employment under the provisions so indicated. For purposes of this Agreement, no
such purported termination by the Company shall be effective without such Notice
of Termination.

                  (g)      DATE OF TERMINATION. "Date of Termination" shall mean
(a) if this Agreement is terminated by the Company for Disability, 30 days after
Notice of Termination is given to the Executive (provided that the Executive
shall not have returned to the performance of the Executive's duties on a
full-time basis during such 30-day period) or (b) if the Executive's employment
is terminated by the Company for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of
Termination is given.

         4.       SEVERANCE COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. (a) If
the Company shall terminate the Executive's employment within eighteen months
following a

                                       3

<PAGE>

Change in Control other than pursuant to Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(d) or if the
Executive shall terminate his employment within eighteen months following a
Change in Control for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay to the Executive
as severance pay in a lump sum, in cash, on the fifth day following the Date of
Termination, an amount equal to the sum of (i) 150% of the average of the
aggregate annual salary paid to the Executive by the Company during the three
calendar years preceding the Change in Control of the Company and (ii) 150% of
the highest bonus compensation paid to the Executive for any of the three
calendar years preceding the Change in Control of the Company; provided,
however, that if the lump sum severance payment under this Section 4, either
alone or together with other payments which the Executive has the right to
receive from the Company, would constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")),
such lump sum severance payment shall be reduced to the largest amount as will
result in no portion of the lump sum severance payment under this Section 4
being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

                  (b)      In addition to the lump sum payment provided in
Section 4(a), if the Company shall terminate the Executive's employment within
eighteen months following a Change in Control other than pursuant to Section
3(b), 3(c) or 3(d) or if the Executive shall terminate his employment within
eighteen months following a Change in Control for Good Reason, then the Company
shall provide to the Executive health insurance equivalent to that provided to
the Executive immediately prior to termination until the earlier of: (i)
eighteen months following the Date of Termination or (ii) such time as Executive
is employed by another employer and is covered or permitted to be covered by
benefit plans of another employer providing substantially similar coverage.

         5.       NO OBLIGATION TO MITIGATE DAMAGES; NO EFFECT ON OTHER
CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS. (a) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages
or the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other
employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for under
this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the
result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or
otherwise.

                  (b)      The provisions of this Agreement, and any payment
provided for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in
any way diminish the Executive's existing rights, or rights which would accrue
solely as a result of the passage of time, under any benefit plan, incentive
plan or stock option plan, employment agreement or other contract, plan or
arrangement.

         6.       SUCCESSOR TO THE COMPANY. (a) The Company will require any
successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Executive, expressly, absolutely and unconditionally to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
