                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of March 20, 2002, by and
between TIMCO Aviation Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company")
and Roy T. Rimmer, Jr. (the "Optionee"). Unless otherwise defined herein,
capitalized terms shall have the meanings given to them in the Employment
Agreement (as defined below).

         WHEREAS, Optionee and the Company have on the date hereof entered into
an Employment Agreement (the "Employment Agreement") pursuant to which Optionee
shall be employed by the Company; and

         WHEREAS, Optionee would not have entered into the Employment Agreement
but for, among other things, the Company entering into this Agreement; and

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby
agree as follows:

1.       Grant of Stock Option

         Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company
hereby grants to the Optionee the option to purchase, at any time prior to 5:00
p.m. on March 20, 2007 (the "Option Expiration Date"), an aggregate of 800,000
shares of the authorized but unissued common stock (the "Common Stock") of the
Company (the "Options").

2.       Exercise Price.

         The Options shall be exercisable at an exercise price of $1.02 per
share of Common Stock (the "Exercise Price"). The Optionee shall pay all
transfer taxes, if any, upon the exercise of the Options. The Exercise Price
shall be subject to adjustment in the event of changes in the capitalization of
the Company, as set forth in Section 5 hereto.

3.       Exercisability of Options.

         a. Vesting of Right to Exercise. The right to exercise the Options
shall vest over a three-year period, with one-third of the Options vesting on
the date of this Agreement, 1/3 vesting on the first anniversary of this
Agreement and 1/3 vesting on the second anniversary of this Agreement. If,
however, the employment of the Optionee is terminated by the Company for Cause
or in case of the death or Disability of the Optionee pursuant to the Employment
Agreement, then all Options which have not vested on or prior to the date of
such termination shall not vest and shall be automatically forfeited by the
Optionee without any further action. Vested options shall be exercisable, in
whole or in part, until the Option Expiration Date, regardless of whether the
Optionee remains an employee, officer or director of the Company during that
period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options shall automatically vest upon
a Change in Control, as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement.

<PAGE>

         b. Manner of Exercise. The Options granted hereunder as to which the
right to exercise has vested may be exercised by the delivery by the holder
thereof to the Company at its principal office (to the attention of the
Secretary of the Company) of written notice of the number of full shares of
Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised, accompanied by
payment in full of the price for such shares of Common Stock: (i) in cash or by
certified or bank check payable to the order of the Company, (ii) by delivery of
shares of Common Stock already owned by the Optionee and having a fair market
value equal to the Exercise Price, or (iii) by a combination of cash and Common
Stock.

         c. Termination. Subject to the vesting provisions in subparagraph 3(a)
above, Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Options until the Option
Expiration Date, regardless of whether Optionee is an employee, officer or
director of the Company at the time that he seeks to exercise the Options.

         d. Death. Upon the death of the Optionee, the personal representatives,
heirs, legatees or distributees of the Optionee, as appropriate, shall have the
right to exercise all of the Options then exercisable under this Agreement at
any time prior to the Option Expiration Date.

         e. Exercise of Vested Options. An Option may not be exercised pursuant
to this Section 3 unless the holder was entitled to exercise the Option at the
time of such exercise.

         f. Transfer of Options. Options granted hereunder shall not be
transferable or assignable, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.

4.       The Optionee's Investment Representations.

         The Optionee hereby agrees, acknowledges, represents and warrants to
the Company the following:

         a. The Optionee is acquiring the Options hereunder for investment
purposes only and without the intent toward the further sale and/or distribution
thereof. In addition, the Optionee hereby agrees, acknowledges, represents and
warrants, that in the event of the exercise of any of the Options hereunder, the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options (the "Option
Shares") shall be acquired for investment purposes only and without the intent
toward the further sale and/or distribution thereof.

         b. Unless the shares of Common Stock underlying the Options are
registered in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and with other applicable securities laws,
the certificates evidencing the Option Shares will bear a restrictive legend
with respect to the sale or transfer thereof. Any subsequent sale, transfer,
assignment or disposition of the Option Shares, must be made in compliance with
the registration requirements of the Act, and with other applicable securities
laws or pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration requirements,
in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

                                       2

         c. The Optionee is familiar with the business and financial condition
of the Company, and the Optionee has been afforded the opportunity to ask all
relevant questions of the Company's management with respect to the business and
financial condition of the Company. The Optionee further agrees to re-assert any
of said representations and warranties and to make any other representations and
warranties, as reasonably requested by the Company, as of the date of exercise
of any of said Options.

         d. The Optionee hereby further acknowledges, agrees, represents and
warrants that the issuance of the Option Shares upon the exercise of the Options
is conditioned, in part, upon the compliance with applicable securities laws.
The Optionee agrees to deliver to the Company any reasonable documentation
requested with respect thereto and further acknowledges and agrees that any said
exercise of the Options and the issuance of the Option Shares may only be
effectuated provided said exercise is in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations. In addition, the Optionee further acknowledges that the Company is
relying upon the representations and warranties of the Optionee hereunder with
respect to compliance by the Company with applicable securities laws and
regulations.

5.       Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.

         a. In the event of a merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, or other change in corporate
structure affecting the shares of Common Stock of the Company, such adjustment
shall be made in the number of Option Shares, and the Exercise Price shall be
correspondingly adjusted to equitably reflect such change.

         b. Any adjustment in the number of Option Shares shall apply
proportionately to only the unexercised portion of the Options granted
hereunder. If fractions of an Option Share would result from any such
adjustment, the adjustment shall be revised to the next lower whole number of
Option Shares.

6.       No Rights as a Shareholder.

         The Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with
respect to the Option Shares issuable upon the exercise of Options granted
hereunder that have not been exercised and for which payment in full of the
applicable Exercise Price has not been made as provided herein.

7.       Registration.

         a. Form S-8 Registration. The Company hereby agrees to file a Form S-8
Registration Statement to register the Option Shares for public sale. Such
registration statement will be filed within 6 months after the date of this
Option Agreement. The Company hereby agrees to use its best efforts to keep such
registration statement current until all of the Option Shares are resold in
public market.

8.       Further Conditions of Exercise

         a. Delivery of Shares by Company. The Company shall not be obligated to
deliver any shares of Common Stock until they have been listed on each
securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock may then be listed or
until there has been qualification under or compliance with such state or
federal laws, rules or regulations as the Company may deem applicable. The
Company shall use its best efforts to obtain such listing, qualification and
compliance.

         b. Withholdings. The Company may make such provisions and take such
steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes

authority, whether federal, state or local, domestic or foreign, to withhold in
connection with the exercise of any Option, including, but not limited to, (i)
the withholding of delivery of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Options
until the holder reimburses the Company for the amount the Company is required
to withhold with respect to such taxes, (ii) the canceling of any number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Options in an amount
sufficient to reimburse the Company for the amount it is required to so
withhold, or (iii) withholding the amount due from any such person's wages or
compensation due such person.

9.       Miscellaneous.

         a. Indulgences, Etc. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of
either party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor
shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any
occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege
with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is
in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

         b. Controlling Law. This Agreement and all questions relating to its
validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement (including, without
limitation, provisions concerning limitations of actions), shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina,
without application to the principles of conflict of laws.

         c. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, and other

the addresses on the face of this Agreement.

         d. Binding Nature of Agreement; No Assignment. This Agreement shall be

representatives, successors and assigns, except that no party may assign or
transfer its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
the other parties hereto.

         e. Provisions Separable. The provisions of this Agreement are
independent of and separable from each other, and no provision shall be affected
or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason
any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

         f. Section Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are for
convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its
interpretation.

         g. Number of Days. In computing the number of days for purposes of this
Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays;
provided, however that if the final day of any time period falls on a Saturday,

final day shall be deemed to be the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or
such holiday.

Employment Agreement referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement among
the parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements, or
representations by or among the parties, written or oral, that may have related
in any way to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended,
supplemented or modified in whole or in part except by an instrument in writing
signed by the party or parties against whom enforcement of any such amendment,
supplement or modification is sought.

         j. Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to
be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and
thereof strict construction shall be applied against any party. Any reference to
any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to
refer to the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context
requires otherwise. The parties intend that each representation, warranty, and
covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any party has
breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any
respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant
relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of
specificity) which the party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate
the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or
covenant. This Agreement shall be neither construed against nor in favor of any
of the parties hereto, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning of its
content.

         k. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together
will constitute one and the same instrument.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), dated as of the 15th day of
January, 2002, by and between AVIATION SALES COMPANY, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and C. ROBERT CAMPBELL (the "Employee").

         In consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants
and agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable
consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows:

         1. EMPLOYMENT.

            (a) RETENTION. The Company agrees to employ Employee as its
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Employee agrees to
accept such employment, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

            (b) EMPLOYMENT PERIOD. This Agreement shall commence on January 15,
2002 (the "Effective Date") and, unless terminated in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, shall continue in effect until January 15, 2005 (the
"Employment Period").

            (c) DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. During the Employment Period, the
Employee shall serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of
the Company and its subsidiaries. In such role, Employee shall have such
authority and responsibility and perform such duties as may be assigned to him
from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of
the Company, and in the absence of such assignment, such duties as are customary
to Employee's office and as are necessary or appropriate to the business and
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. During the Employment Period,
the Employee's employment shall be full time. Employee shall perform his duties
honestly, diligently, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company and
its subsidiaries, and Employee shall use his best efforts to promote the
interests of the Company and its subsidiaries.

            (d) OTHER ACTIVITIES. Except upon the prior written consent of the
Company, the Employee, during the Employment Period, will not accept any other
employment. The Employee shall be permitted to serve in ventures such as passive
real estate investments, serving on charitable and civic boards and
organizations, and similar activities, so long as such activities do not
materially interfere with or detract from the performance of Employee's duties
or constitute a breach of any of the provisions contained in this Agreement.

         2. COMPENSATION.

            (a) BASE SALARY. In consideration for the Employee's services
hereunder and the restrictive covenants contained herein, the Employee shall be
paid an annual base salary of $240,000 (the "Salary"), payable in accordance
with the Company's customary payroll practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Employee's annual Salary may be increased at anytime and from time to time to
levels greater than the level set forth in the preceding sentence at the
discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company to reflect merit or other
increases.

<PAGE>

            (b) BONUS. In addition to the Salary, the Employee shall be eligible
to receive an annual bonus ("Bonus") equal to 50% of the Employee's Salary. The
Bonus shall be based on the achievement of corporate goals and objectives as
established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The
achievement of said goals and objectives shall be determined by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors. With respect to any Fiscal Year during
which the Employee is employed by the Company for less than the entire Fiscal
Year, the Bonus shall be prorated for the period during which the Employee was
so employed. The Bonus shall be payable within thirty (30) days after the end of
the Company's Fiscal Year. The term "Fiscal Year" as used herein shall mean each
period of twelve (12) calendar months commencing on January 1st of each calendar
year during the Employment Period and expiring on December 31st of such year.

            (c) MERIT AND OTHER BONUSES. Employee shall be entitled to such
other bonuses, payments and benefits may be determined by the Board of Directors
of the Company or by a committee of the Board of Directors as determined by the
Board of Directors, in its sole discretion.

            (d) SIGNING BONUS. Employee shall be entitled to a signing bonus
(the "Signing Bonus") in the amount of $100,000 which shall be grossed-up for
all taxes imposed on Employer with respect to the Signing Bonus, including
income taxes and the Employee's share of FICA and all other payroll taxes. For
purposes of determining the amount of the gross-up, the Employee shall be deemed
to pay Federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of Federal income
taxation in the calendar year in which the Signing Bonus (or any portion of the
Signing Bonus) is paid, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal
rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Employee's residence in the
calendar year in which the Signing Bonus (or any portion of the Signing Bonus)
is paid, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income taxes which could be
obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. The Signing Bonus shall
be payable in four monthly installments, with the first installment due 30 days
after the Effective Date and each month thereafter on the same date. Employee
shall repay a pro-rata portion of the Signing Bonus to Employer if he resigns
from his employment prior to the last date of the Employment Period.

            (e) STOCK OPTIONS. On the Effective Date, the Company shall issue to
the Employee a five-year option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's
authorized but unissued common stock at an exercise price equal to the last
closing price of the common stock on the date on which this Agreement was
approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
($_____ per share). The options shall vest 1/3 on date of grant, 1/3 on the
first anniversary of the Effective Date and 1/3 on the second anniversary of the
Effective Date. The Employee shall be entitled to participate and receive option
grants in the future, as may be determined by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee has
been advised by Company that it is currently negotiating with the holders of the
Company's outstanding senior subordinated notes to restructure the Company's
currently outstanding debt and equity and to recapitalize the Company. The
Company hereby agrees to adjust Employee's option grant hereunder after the
completion of the restructuring/recapitalization to provide an equivalent
benefit to Employee such that Employee is not prejudiced by the
restructuring/recapitalization.

            (f) OTHER COMPENSATION PROGRAMS. The Employee shall be entitled to
participate in the Company's incentive and deferred compensation programs and
such other programs as are established and maintained generally for the benefit
of the Company's employees or executive officers, subject to the provisions of
such plans or programs.

            (g) VACATIONS. The Employee shall be entitled to three weeks of
vacation on an annual basis. Employee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for any
accrued and unused vacation time as of the date he is no longer an employee of
the Company.

            (h) ANNUAL EXECUTIVE PHYSICAL. The Company shall pay all direct
costs of Employee's annual executive physical; provided, however, that direct
costs to be reimbursed under this Section 2(h) shall not exceed $1,500.

            (i) OTHER BENEFITS. During the term of this Agreement, the Employee
shall also be entitled to participate in any other health insurance programs,
life insurance programs, disability programs, stock option plans, bonus plans,
pension plans and other fringe benefit plans and programs as are from time to
time established and maintained for the benefit of the Company's employees or
executive officers, subject to the provisions of such plans and programs.

            (j) EXPENSES. The Employee shall be reimbursed for all out-of-pocket
expenses reasonably incurred by him on behalf of or in connection with the
business of the Company, pursuant to the normal standards and guidelines
followed from time to time by the Company.

            (k) RELOCATION EXPENSES. Upon submission of appropriate
documentation, the Company shall reimburse Employee for the full and total cost
of (i) transporting all household goods currently residing at [intentionally
omitted], by a company widely recognized as an expert in relocation matters, to
the permanent residence the Employee shall establish in Greensboro, North
Carolina, (ii) all reasonable real estate fees and costs in connection with
Employee's purchase of a permanent residence in Greensboro, North Carolina, and
(iii) direct costs of temporary housing in Greensboro for a period of up to 90
days from the Effective Date.

         3. TERMINATION.

            (a) FOR CAUSE. The Company shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement and to discharge the Employee for Cause (as defined below), at any
time during the term of this Agreement. Termination for Cause shall mean, during
the term of this Agreement, (i) Employee's conduct that would constitute under
federal or state law either a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude,
or a determination by the Company's Board of Directors, after consideration of
all available information and following the procedures set forth below, that
Employee has willfully violated Company policies or procedures involving
discrimination, harassment, alcohol or substance abuse, or work place violence
causing material injury to the Company, (ii) Employee's actions or omissions
that constitute fraud, dishonesty or gross misconduct, (iii) Employee's knowing
and intentional breach of any fiduciary duty that causes material injury to the
Company, and (iv) Employee's inability to perform his material duties, after
reasonable notice and an opportunity to resolve the issues, due to alcohol or
other

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

substance abuse. Any termination for Cause pursuant to this Section shall be
given to the Employee in writing and shall set forth in detail all acts or
omissions upon which the Company is relying to terminate the Employee for Cause.

         Upon any determination by the Company that Cause exists to terminate
the Employee, the Company shall cause a special meeting of the Board of
Directors to be called and held at a time mutually convenient to the Board of
Directors and Employee, but in no event later than ten (10) business days after
Employee's receipt of the notice that the Company intends to terminate the
Employee for Cause. Employee shall have the right to appear before such special
meeting of the Board of Directors with legal counsel of his choosing to refute
such allegations and shall have a reasonable period of time to cure any actions
or omissions which provide the Company with a basis to terminate the Employee
for Cause (provided that such cure period shall not exceed 30 days). A majority
of the members of the Board of Directors must affirm that Cause exists to
terminate the Employee. No finding by the Board of Directors will prevent the
Employee from contesting such determination through appropriate legal
proceedings provided that the Employee's sole remedy shall be to sue for
damages, not reinstatement, and damages shall be limited to those that would be
paid to the Employee if he had been terminated without Cause. In the event the
Company terminates the Employee for Cause, the Company shall only be obligated
to continue to pay in the ordinary and normal course of its business to the
Employee his Salary plus accrued but unused vacation time through the
termination date and the Company shall have no further obligations to Employee
from and after the date of termination.

            (b) RESIGNATION BY EMPLOYEE. If the Employee shall resign or
otherwise terminate his employment with the Company at anytime during the term
of this Agreement, the Employee shall only be entitled to receive his accrued
and unpaid Salary through the termination date, and the Company shall have no
further obligations under this Agreement from and after the date of resignation.

            (c) TERMINATION BY COMPANY WITHOUT CAUSE. At any time during the
term of this Agreement the Company shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement and to discharge the Employee without Cause effective upon delivery of
written notice to the Employee. Upon any such termination by the Company without
Cause, the Company shall pay to the Employee all of the Employee's accrued but
unpaid Salary through the date of termination, and thereafter, the Company: (i)
shall continue to pay to the Employee his Salary payable in accordance with
Section 2(a) for six (6) months from the date of termination, when and as the
same would have been due and payable hereunder but for such termination, (ii)
shall continue Employee's health benefits under the Company's then health
insurance program(s) for six months from the date of termination (or until
Employee's death or the date on which Employee becomes covered by the health
plan of a subsequent employer, to the extent that either of these events occurs
earlier). Additionally, if Employee is terminated without Cause, all stock
options previously granted to him will immediately vest (to the extent not then
already vested), and all such stock options shall remain exercisable for the
lesser of the unexpired term of such options or six months from the date of
Employee's termination. All payments made to the Employee pursuant to this
Section 3(c) are collectively, referred to herein as the "Severance Payment."
Other than the Severance Payment, the Company shall have no further obligation
to the Employee except for the obligations set forth in Section 12 of this
Agreement after the date of such termination; provided, however, that the
Employee shall only be entitled to continuation of the Severance Payments as
long as he is in compliance with the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 of this
Agreement.

            (d) DISABILITY OF THE EMPLOYEE. This Agreement may be terminated by
the Company upon the Disability of the Employee. "Disability" shall mean any
mental or physical illness, condition, disability or incapacity which prevents
the Employee from reasonably discharging his duties and responsibilities under
this Agreement for a period of 180 consecutive days. In the event that any
disagreement or dispute shall arise between the Company and the Employee as to
whether the Employee suffers from any Disability, then, in such event, the
Employee shall submit to the physical or mental examination of a physician
licensed under the laws of the State of Florida, who is mutually agreeable to
the Company and the Employee, and such physician shall determine whether the
Employee suffers from any Disability. In the absence of fraud or bad faith, the
determination of such physician shall be final and binding upon the Company and
the Employee. The entire cost of such examination shall be paid for solely by
the Company. In the event the Company has purchased Disability insurance for
Employee, the Employee shall be deemed disabled if he is completely (fully)
disabled as defined by the terms of the Disability policy. In the event that at
any time during the term of this Agreement the Employee shall suffer a
Disability and the Company terminates the Employee's employment for such
Disability, the Company shall continue to pay to the Employee his Salary,
payable in accordance with Section 2(a) for three (3) months from the date of
the termination, when and as the same would have been due and payable hereunder
but for such termination, except that payment of the Salary in accordance with
said paragraph shall be mitigated to the extent payments are made to the
Employee pursuant to disability insurance programs maintained by the Company.

            (e) DEATH OF THE EMPLOYEE. In the event of the death of Employee,
the employment of the Employee by the Company shall automatically terminate on
the date of the Employee's death and the Company shall only be obligated to pay
Employee's estate Employee's accrued and unpaid Salary through the termination
date plus accrued but unused vacation time through the termination date and the
Company shall have no further obligations to Employee from and after the date of
termination.

         4. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT BY EMPLOYEE FOR CHANGE OF CONTROL.

            (a) TERMINATION RIGHTS. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2
and Section 3 of this Agreement, in the event that there shall occur a Change of
Control (as defined below) of the Company and within two years after such Change
of Control the Employee's employment hereunder is terminated by the Company
without Cause, then the Company shall be required to pay to the Employee (i) the
product of 1.5 multiplied by the Employee's then current Salary, plus (ii) the
product of three multiplied by the maximum Bonus that Employee received in the
Fiscal Year prior to the Fiscal Year in which such termination occurs, assuming
that all performance objectives are met (collectively, the foregoing
consideration payable to the Employee shall be referred to herein as the "Change
in Control Payment"). The Change in Control Payment shall be made no later than
10 days after the Employee's termination pursuant to this Section 4. To the
extent that payments are owed by the Company to the Employee pursuant to this
Section 4, they shall be made in lieu of payments pursuant to Section 3, and in
no event shall the Company be required to make payments or provide benefits to
the Employee under both Section 3 and Section 4.

            (b) CHANGE OF CONTROL OF THE COMPANY DEFINED. For purposes of this
Section 4, a "Change of Control of the Company" shall be deemed to have occurred
if:

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

                (i) Any "person" (as such term is defined in Sections 13(d)(3)
and Section 14(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company, any
majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, any compensation plan of the Company,
any majority-owned subsidiary of the Company or Lacy J. Harber and his
affiliates, becomes the "beneficial owner" (as such term is defined in Rule
13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company; or

                (ii) The shareholders of the Company approve (1) a
reorganization, merger, or consolidation with respect to which persons who were
the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization,
merger, or consolidation do not immediately thereafter own more than 50% of the
combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of the
directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated entity; (2) a liquidation
or dissolution of the Company; or (3) the sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company or of a subsidiary of the Company that accounts for
more than 66 2/3% of the consolidated revenues of the Company, but not including
a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company.

         5. SUCCESSOR TO COMPANY. The Company shall require any successor,
whether direct or indirect, to all or substantially all of the business,
properties and assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation
or otherwise, prior to or simultaneously with such purchase, merger,
consolidation or other acquisition to execute and to deliver to the Employee a
written instrument in form and in substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Employee pursuant to which any such successor shall agree to assume and to
timely perform or to cause to be timely performed all of the Company's
covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement (a "Successor
Agreement"). The failure of the Company to cause any such successor to execute
and deliver a Successor Agreement to the Employee shall constitute a material
breach of the provisions of this Agreement by the Company.

         6. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. In consideration of his employment and the
other benefits arising under this Agreement, the Employee agrees that during the
term of this Agreement, and for a period of six months following the termination
of this Agreement, the Employee shall not directly or indirectly:

            (a) alone or as a partner, joint venturer, officer, director,
member, employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or stockholder of,
or lender to, any company or business, engage in any business which competes,
directly or indirectly, with any business of the Company; provided, however,
that the beneficial ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the shares of
stock of any corporation having a class of equity securities actively traded on
a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market shall not be deemed,
in and of itself, to violate the prohibitions of this Section; or

            (b) for any reason, (i) induce any customer of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates to patronize any business directly or indirectly
in competition with the businesses conducted by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates in any market in which the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates does business; (ii) canvass, solicit or accept from
any customer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates any such
competitive business; or (iii) request or advise any customer or vendor of the
Company or any of

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

its subsidiaries or affiliates to withdraw, curtail or cancel any such
customer's or vendor's business with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates; or

            (c) for any reason, employ, or knowingly permit any company or
business directly or indirectly controlled by him, to employ, any person who was
employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates at or within
the prior six months, or in any manner seek to induce any such person to leave
his or her employment.

The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply to Employee whether or not
Employee's employment with the Company has been terminated for Cause or without
Cause and whether or not the Company is required to pay Employee severance
benefits under Section 3 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
this Agreement expires by its terms at the end of the Employment Period, then
the provisions of this Section 6 shall only apply to Employee if the Company
provides Employee with all of the severance benefits which it would be obligated
to provide to him under Section 3(c) of this Agreement as if the Employee had
been terminated from his employment with the Company without Cause.

         7. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Employee agrees that at all times during the
term of this Agreement and after the termination of employment for as long as
such information remains non-public information, the Employee shall (i) hold in
confidence and refrain from disclosing to any other party all information,
whether written or oral, tangible or intangible, of a private, secret,
proprietary or confidential nature, of or concerning the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates and their business and operations, and all files,
letters, memoranda, reports, records, computer disks or other computer storage
medium, data, models or any photographic or other tangible materials containing
such information ("Confidential Information"), including without limitation, any
sales, promotional or marketing plans, programs, techniques, practices or
strategies, any expansion plans (including existing and entry into new
geographic and/or product markets), and any customer lists, (ii) use the
Confidential Information solely in connection with his employment with the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and for no other purpose, (iii)
take all precautions necessary to ensure that the Confidential Information shall
not be, or be permitted to be, shown, copied or disclosed to third parties,
without the prior written consent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, and (iv) observe all security policies implemented by the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates from time to time with respect to the
Confidential Information. In the event that the Employee is ordered to disclose
any Confidential Information, whether in a legal or regulatory proceeding or
otherwise, the Employee shall provide the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates with prompt notice of such request or order so that the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates may seek to prevent disclosure. In
addition to the foregoing the Employee shall not at any time libel, defame,
ridicule or otherwise disparage the Company.

         8. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE; INJUNCTION. The parties agree and acknowledge
that the restrictions contained in Sections 6 and 7 are reasonable in scope and
duration and are necessary to protect the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates. If any provision of Section 6 or 7 as applied to any party or to any
circumstance is adjudged by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, the same
shall in no way affect any other circumstance or the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement. If any such provision, or any part
thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision
or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such
determination shall have the power to

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

reduce the duration and/or area of such provision, and/or to delete specific
words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision shall then be
enforceable and shall be enforced. The Employee agrees and acknowledges that the
breach of Section 6 or 7 will cause irreparable injury to the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates and upon breach of any provision of such
Sections, the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be entitled
to injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief, without
being required to post a bond; provided, however, that, this shall in no way
limit any other remedies which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates may have (including, without limitation, the right to seek monetary
damages).

         9. NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands, claims and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if
delivered by hand delivery, by certified or registered mail (first class postage
pre-paid), guaranteed overnight delivery or facsimile transmission if such
transmission is confirmed by delivery by certified or registered mail (first
class postage pre-paid) or guaranteed overnight delivery to, the following
addresses and telecopy numbers (or to such other addresses or telecopy numbers
which such party shall designate in writing to the other parties): (a) if to the

         10. AMENDMENT; WAIVER. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or
supplemented, except by written instrument executed by all parties. No failure
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. No waiver of any breach of any provision shall
be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or
any other provision, nor shall any waiver be implied from any course of dealing
between the parties. No extension of time for performance of any obligations or
other acts hereunder or under any other agreement shall be deemed to be an
extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or any other
acts. The rights and remedies of the parties under this Agreement are in
addition to all other rights and remedies, at law or equity, that they may have
against each other.

         11. ASSIGNMENT; THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. This Agreement, and the
Employee's rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned or delegated by
him. The Company may assign its rights, and delegate its obligations, hereunder
to any affiliate of the Company, or any successor to the Company or its aviation
services business, specifically including the restrictive covenants set forth in
Section 6 hereof. The rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon its respective successors and
assigns.

         12. SEVERABILITY; SURVIVAL. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement is found to be void and unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, then such unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified so as
to be enforceable (or if not subject to modification then eliminated herefrom)
to the extent necessary to permit the remaining provisions to be enforced in
accordance with the parties intention. The provisions of Sections 6 and 7 will
survive the termination for any reason of the Employee's relationship with the
Company.

provisions of the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the
Delaware General Corporation Law.

         20. ATTORNEY'S FEES. If at any time during the term of this Agreement
or afterwards there should arise any dispute as to the validity, interpretation
or application of any term or condition of this agreement, the Company agrees,
upon written demand by the Employee (and Employee shall be entitled upon
application to any court of competent jurisdiction, to the entry of a mandatory
injunction, without the necessity of posting any bond with respect thereto,
compelling the Company) to promptly provide sums sufficient to pay on a current
basis (either directly or by reimbursing Employee) Employee's costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees (including expenses of investigation and
disbursements for the fees and expenses of experts, etc.) incurred by the
Employee in connection with any such dispute or any litigation, provided that
Employee shall repay any such amounts paid or advanced if Employee is not the
