                                    -------

     The Company desires to employ Executive, and Executive desires to be

                                   ---------

     Accordingly, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1.  Employment Term.
         ---------------

         1.1.   Initial Term and Additional Term. Subject to Section 4, the
                --------------------------------             ---------
Company hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment by the
Company, to render services on behalf of the Company and all existing and future
Affiliated Companies (as defined in Section 2.1) in the position and with the
                                    -----------
duties and responsibilities described in Section 2 for the period commencing on
                                         ---------
the date of this Agreement and ending upon the fifth anniversary hereof (the
"Initial Term"). Unless either party notifies the other party of its intention
to terminate this Agreement, at its sole and absolute discretion, within thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall
continue indefinitely on a yearly basis (each extended yearly term referred to
as an "Additional Term"), subject to termination by either party, at its sole
and absolute discretion, upon thirty (30) days' notice prior to the expiration
of any such Additional Term. The Initial Term and all Additional Terms as set
forth above shall be referred to as the "Employment Term." In the event that the
Employment Term expires at the end of the Initial Term or any Additional Term by
reason of a notice provided by the Company or by the Executive pursuant to this
Section 1, the Company shall (i) pay Executive the compensation to which
---------
Executive is entitled under Section 3.1(a), including any accrued vacation,
                            --------------
through the end of the Employment Term; and (ii) reimburse Executive for any
business expenses properly incurred by Executive pursuant to Section 3.3 through

the end of the Employment Term. In the event that the Employment Term expires at
the end of the Initial Term or any Additional Term by reason of a notice
provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 1, the Company shall also pay
                                         ---------
Executive the severance payment as set forth in Section 5. Thereafter, the
                                                ---------
Company's obligations hereunder shall terminate. Nothing in this Section 1 shall
                                                                 ---------
affect Executive's rights to any benefits vested as of the date of the
expiration of the Initial Term or Additional Term, as the case may be
(including, without limitation, stock options that have vested). Executive
hereby agrees that the Company may cause the Employment Term to expire pursuant
to this Section 1 without regard (i) to any general or specific policies
        ---------
(whether written or oral) of the Company relating to the employment or
termination of its employees, or (ii) to any

                                       1

statements made to Executive, whether made orally or contained in any document,
pertaining to Executive's relationship with the Company.

         1.2.   Termination of the Employment Term Pursuant to Section 4. Each
                --------------------------------------------------------
party shall have the right to terminate the Employment Term pursuant to Section
                                                                        -------

         2.1.   Position.  Executive shall be employed by the Company as the
                --------
President and Chief Operating Officer (or in such other position(s) as the Board
of Directors of the Company (the "Board") shall designate, provided that such
position shall have authority commensurate with the position of a senior
executive officer of the Company, with direct reporting authority to the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company or to the Board). Executive shall devote

performance of the services customarily incident to such office, including,
without limitation, to the Company's and any Affiliated Company's operations,
strategic planning and to such other services as may be reasonably requested by
the Board (collectively, the "Services"). (The term "Affiliated Company" as used
in this Agreement means any corporation or other business entity that, now or

that is or may be competitive with, or that might place Executive in a competing
position to that of the Company or any Affiliated Company. Executive's position
as a member of the Board of Directors of HealthInside.com and Etrieva.com shall

                              -----------

     3.  Compensation, Benefits, Expenses.
         --------------------------------

                (b)  Bonus. Upon attainment by the Company and Executive of
                     -----
financial and operational goals determined annually in advance by the Board in
consultation with Executive, an annual bonus in the amount of fifty percent
(50%) of the annual salary, payable at the time and pursuant to the procedures
regularly established, and as they may be amended, by the Company during the
course of this Agreement. If the Company and Executive exceed such financial and
operational goals, the bonus shall be at an increased percentage of the annual
salary, not to exceed seventy-five percent (75%) thereof, on a graduated scale,
as determined annually in advance by the Board in consultation with Executive.

                (c)  Stock Options. A grant of stock options representing six
                     -------------
hundred thousand (600,000) shares of common stock of the Company (the "Option
Shares"), in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of that
certain Stock Option Award Agreement of even date herewith between the Company
and Executive (the "Stock Option Award Agreement"), a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated by reference herein. Notwithstanding any
provision therein to the contrary, (i) if, during the first three (3) years of
the Employment Term, Executive's employment with the Company is terminated by
the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, the difference
between (X) sixty percent (60%) of the Option Shares and (Y) the Option Shares
which have already vested, shall immediately vest; and (ii) if, at any time
during the Employment Term, there occurs a Change of Control (as defined in
subparagraph (b) of Section 4.4), all Option Shares which have not already
                    -----------
vested shall immediately vest.

                (d)  Loan.  A loan, bearing no stated interest until maturity,
                     ----
in the amount of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000), to be evidenced by a
Promissory Note made by Executive in favor of the Company (the "Note"), a form
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. At each of the first three (3)
anniversaries of the Note, one-third (1/3) of the principal amount payable by
Executive under the Note shall be forgiven by the Company, provided that
Executive is employed with the Company on such anniversary. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Executive shall be entitled to forgiveness of one-third (1/3) of the
principal amount payable by Executive under the Note on any of the three (3)
anniversaries if:

                     (i)    in the year preceding such anniversary, Executive
was employed with the Company for at least six (6) months, and

                     (ii)   either (A) Executive terminated his employment with
the Company for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4.4(b), or (B) the Company
                                        --------------
terminated Executive without Cause (as defined Section 4.3).
                                               -----------

     Executive and the Company agree that the forgiveness of any portion of the
Note hereunder shall be treated as if the Company paid to Executive an amount
equal to the amount forgiven (the "Forgiveness Payment") and Executive paid the
Forgiveness Payment to the Company to reduce the principal amount outstanding on
the Note, and any Forgiveness Payment shall be reportable to Executive as
compensation income for income tax purposes.

         (e)  Gross-Up. The Company shall pay to Executive, on or before the
              --------
last day of the calendar year with respect to which any Forgiveness Payment or
Gross-Up

                                       3
<PAGE>

Amounts (as defined in Section 3.3(d) below) are reportable, an amount (the
                       --------------
"Gross-Up Payment") such that, after the payment of federal, state and local
income and employment taxes on such amount, Executive shall have received
amounts free and clear of such taxes equal to the Forgiveness Payment and Gross-
Up Amounts; provided that the Company may withhold from any Gross-Up Payment any
federal, state, local income and employment taxes required to be withheld from
the Gross-Up Payment, the Forgiveness Payment and the Gross-Up Amounts (in
aggregate) and paid over to governmental authorities.

     For purposes of determining the amount of any Gross-Up Payment, Executive
shall be deemed (i) to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of
federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is
to be made, and (ii) to pay any applicable state and local income taxes at the
highest marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up
Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes
which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes if paid in
such year.  The Company and Executive shall cooperate in good faith to determine
the amount of any Gross-Up Payment payable hereunder.  If the Company and
Executive cannot agree on the amount of any Gross-Up Payment so payable, the
Company and Executive shall mutually select an independent accounting firm to
make the determination.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum Gross-Up
Payment payable by the Company to Executive shall not exceed one hundred percent
(100%) of the amount forgiven.

         3.2.   Benefits.  The Company shall provide Executive with the right to
                --------
participate in and to receive benefits from all present and future life,
accident, disability, medical, pension, stock and savings plans and all similar
benefits made available generally to senior executive officers of the Company.
Executive shall be entitled to the amount of annual vacation available to senior
executive officers of the Company (other than Michael J. Hartley) pursuant to
the Company's employment policies, and he shall not be subject to any waiting
period before he is first entitled to take vacation.  As of the date hereof,
senior executive officers of the Company are entitled to three (3) weeks of
annual vacation.  The amount and extent of benefits to which Executive is
entitled shall be governed by a specific benefit plan, as it may be amended from
time to time.

         3.3.   Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable
                --------
travel and other business expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of
his duties hereunder in accordance with the Company's general policies, as they
may be amended from time to time during the course of this Agreement. In
addition, the Company shall reimburse (or pay on behalf of Executive) for the
following expenses:

                (a)  Moving Expenses. Reimbursement of up to Forty Thousand
                     ---------------
Dollars ($40,000) incurred by Executive in relocating himself and his family
from Atlanta, Georgia to Honolulu, Hawaii. Executive agrees to provide
appropriate documentation to the Company evidencing such relocation expenses.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                (b)  Temporary Lodging Expenses. Prior to Executive's relocation
                     --------------------------

Five Hundred Dollars ($4,500) per month for Executive's temporary lodging
expenses in Honolulu, Hawaii (e.g., hotels or other suitable housing selected by
Executive) for a period not to exceed six (6) months from the date hereof.
Executive agrees to provide documentation to the Company evidencing such
temporary lodging expenses.

                (c)  Automobile Allowance. Provision of a company automobile of
                     --------------------
luxury standard acceptable to Executive, including reasonable costs for
maintenance and insurance.

                (d)  Gross-Up Amounts. To the extent that (i) amounts payable to
                     ----------------
Executive pursuant to Sections 3.3(a) and (b) hereunder are reported to him by
                      ----------------------
the Company as compensation income and not otherwise deductible by him as
"moving expenses," within the meaning of Section 217(b) of the Internal Revenue
Code ("Qualified Moving Expenses"), for federal income tax purposes, and (ii)
interest imputed on the Note gives rise to deemed compensation income to the
Executive pursuant Section 7872 of the Code, such income shall be treated as
"Gross-Up Amounts." The Company and Executive shall cooperate in good faith to
determine the amounts payable to Executive pursuant to Sections 3.3(a) and (b)
                                                       ----------------------
which are deductible by him as Qualified Moving Expenses. If the Company and
Executive cannot agree on the amounts, the Company and Executive shall mutually
select an independent accounting firm to make the determination.

         3.4.   Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify Executive pursuant
                ---------------
to Article IX of the Company's Bylaws, which Article is attached hereto as
Exhibit C.

     4.  Termination of Employment.
         -------------------------

         4.1.   By Death. The Employment Term shall terminate automatically upon
                --------

   --------------
any expenses properly incurred by Executive pursuant to Section 3.3, in each
                                                        -----------
case through the end of the month in which death occurs. Thereafter, the
Company's obligations hereunder shall terminate. Nothing in this Section 4.1
                                                                 -----------
shall affect any entitlement of Executive's heirs to any vested benefits
(including, without limitation, stock options that have vested) of Executive or
to the benefits of any life insurance plan.

         4.2.   By Disability. If, in the sole and reasonable opinion of the
                -------------
Board, Executive shall be prevented from properly performing his duties
hereunder by reason of any physical or mental incapacity for a period of more
than one-hundred thirty-five (135) days in the aggregate in any twelve-month
(12-month) period, then, to the extent permitted by law, the Employment Term
shall terminate on, and the Company shall pay to Executive the compensation to
which Executive is entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(a) (including any accrued
                                        --------------
vacation), and reimburse Executive for any expenses properly incurred by
Executive pursuant to Section 3.3, in each case through the last day of the
                      -----------
month in which the 135th day of incapacity occurs, and

                                       5
<PAGE>

thereafter the Company's obligations hereunder shall terminate. Nothing in this
Section 4.2 shall affect Executive's rights to any vested benefits (including,
-----------
without limitation, stock options that have vested) of Executive or under any
disability plan in which he is a participant.

         4.3.   By the Company with Cause. The Company may terminate, without
                -------------------------
liability, the Employment Term with Cause (as defined below) solely pursuant to
this Section 4.3.  In the event the Company intends to terminate Executive with
     -----------
Cause, the Company shall give Executive notice thereof, such notice to state in
reasonable detail the particular act(s) or failure(s) that constitute the
grounds on which the proposed termination with Cause is based.  Executive shall
have twenty (20) days after the date that such notice has been given to
Executive to cure such act(s) or failure(s), to the extent such act(s) or
failure(s) are capable of being cured.  If Executive fails to cure such act(s)
or failure(s), or such cure is not possible, the Company may thereupon terminate
Executive's employment with Cause immediately upon notice to Executive.  In such
event, the Company shall (i) pay Executive the compensation to which Executive
is entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(a) (including any accrued vacation); and
                        --------------
(ii) reimburse Executive for any expenses properly incurred by Executive
pursuant to Section 3.3, in each case through the end of the day on which the
            -----------
Company terminates Executive.   Thereafter the Company's obligations hereunder
shall terminate.  Nothing in this Section 4.3 shall affect Executive's rights to
                                  -----------
any benefits vested as of the date of termination (including, without
limitation, stock options that have vested).

         Termination shall be with "Cause" if:

                (a)   Executive is convicted of, pleads guilty to or confesses
to any felony, any act of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, or similar
criminal acts, or any other crime involving moral turpitude;

                (b)   Executive refuses or fails to act in accordance with any
lawful direction or order of the Board except any such direction or order that
constitutes or results in a breach of this Agreement by the Company;

                (c)   Executive engages in conduct or activities that are
dishonest, unethical, unlawful, in bad faith or involving moral turpitude and
damaging or prejudicial to the property, business or reputation of the Company
or any Affiliated Company; or

                (d)   Executive materially breaches any term of this Agreement.

         4.4.   By Executive For Good Reason. Executive may terminate, without
                ----------------------------
liability, the Employment Term for Good Reason (as defined below) solely
pursuant to this Section 4.4. In the event Executive intends to terminate
                 -----------
Executive's employment for Good Reason, Executive shall give the Company notice
thereof, such notice to state in reasonable detail the particular act(s) or
failure(s) that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination for
Good Reason is based. The Company shall have ten (10) days after the date that
such notice has been given to the Company to cure such act(s) or failure(s), to
the extent such act(s) or failure(s) are capable of being cured. If the Company
fails to cure such act(s) or failure(s), or such cure is not possible, Executive
may thereupon terminate Executive's

                                       6
<PAGE>

employment for Good Reason immediately upon notice to the Company. In such
event, the Company shall: (i) pay Executive the compensation to which Executive
is entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(a) through the end of the day on which
                        -------------
Executive terminates Executive's employment; (ii) reimburse Executive for any
expenses properly incurred by Executive pursuant to Section 3.3 through the end
                                                    -----------
of the day on which Executive terminates Executive's employment; and (iii) pay
Executive the severance payment as set forth in Section 5. Thereafter the
                                                ---------
Company's obligations hereunder shall terminate. Nothing in this Section 4.4
                                                                 -----------
shall affect Executive's rights to any benefits vested as of the date of
termination (including, without limitation, stock options that have vested).

     Good Reason shall exist under any of the following events:

                (a)  At the first Board meeting that is held after six (6)
months from the date hereof, Executive is not appointed or elected to serve as a
director on the Board.

                (b)  There is a Change of Control in the Company. A "Change of
Control" occurs when, within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (i) any person beneficially owns a greater
amount of shares of voting common stock of the Company than the collective
amount of shares of voting common stock of the Company beneficially owned by
Michael J. Hartley, Sandra T. Hartley (together with Michael J. Hartley, the
"Hartleys") and Tammy A. Ishibashi ("Ishibashi") and by any trusts, family
partnerships or other entities controlled by the Hartleys or Ishibashi
(collectively, the "Hartley Entities"), or (ii) the Hartley Entities
beneficially own less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total outstanding
voting common stock of the Company.

                (c)  There is an assignment to Executive of any duties
materially inconsistent with or which constitute a material change in
Executive's position, duties, responsibilities, or status with the Company, or a
material change in Executive's reporting responsibilities, title, or offices, or
removal of Executive from or failure to re-elect Executive to any of such
positions, except in connection with the termination of the Employment Term with
Cause, or due to disability, early or normal retirement as defined by the
Company's pension plan, death, or termination of the Employment Term by
Executive other than for Good Reason.

                (d)  The Company materially breaches the terms of this
Agreement.

        4.5.    At Will. At any time, either the Company or Executive may
                -------
terminate, without liability, the Employment Term for any reason, with or
without Cause, by giving fifteen (15) days' advance written notice to the other
party. If Executive terminates Executive's employment pursuant to this Section
                                                                       -------
4.5, the Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to terminate
---
Executive immediately without the running of the notice period. In the event
that Executive's employment is terminated by either party pursuant to this
Section 4.5, the Company shall: (i) pay Executive the compensation to which
-----------
Executive is entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(a) (including any accrued
                                  -------------
vacation) through the end of the day on which Executive's employment is
terminated; and (ii) reimburse Executive for any expenses properly incurred by
Executive pursuant to Section 3.3 through the end of the day on which
                      -----------
Executive's employment is terminated. In the event that Executive's employment
is terminated by the Company pursuant

                                       7
<PAGE>

to this Section 4.5, the Company shall also pay Executive the severance payment
        -----------
as set forth in Section 5. Thereafter the Company's obligations hereunder shall
                ---------
terminate. Nothing in this Section shall affect Executive's rights to any
benefits vested as of the date of termination (including, without limitation,
stock options that have vested). Executive hereby agrees that the Company may
dismiss Executive under this Section 4.5 without regard (i) to any general or
                             -----------
specific policies (whether written or oral) of the Company relating to the
employment or termination of its employees, or (ii) to any statements made to
Executive, whether made orally or contained in any document, pertaining to
Executive's relationship with the Company.

         4.6.   Termination of Obligations.
                --------------------------
                (a)   Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that all personal
property, including, without limitation, all books, manuals, records, reports,
notes, contracts, lists, blueprints, and other documents, or materials, or
copies thereof, Proprietary Information (as defined in Section 7.1), and
                                                       -----------
equipment furnished to or prepared by Executive in the course of or incident to
his employment, belong to the Company and shall be promptly returned to the
Company upon termination of the Employment Term. Following termination,
Executive will not retain any written or other tangible material containing any
Proprietary Information.

                (b)   Upon termination of the Employment Term, Executive shall
be deemed to have resigned from all offices and directorships, if any, then held
with the Company or any Affiliated Company.

                (c)   Executive's obligations under Sections 4.6 and 7 shall
                                                    ------------------
survive termination of the Employment Term and the expiration of this Agreement.

    5.  Severance.  In the event Executive's employment with the Company is
        ---------
terminated either by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason,
the Company shall pay and provide to Executive a severance in an amount equal to
two and one-half times the annual salary set forth in Section 3.1(a), as
                                                      --------------
applicable at the time of termination, payable over a period of twenty-four (24)
months from the effective date of termination, in forty-eight (48) equal semi-
monthly installments.

    6.  Existing Obligations of Executive.
        ---------------------------------

         6.1.   Existing Non-Compete Obligations. Executive represents and
                --------------------------------
warrants that Executive has entered into that certain Retention Agreement dated
as of June 21, 1999 and that certain Severance Agreement dated as of October 20,
1999 (collectively, the "Non-Competition Agreements") with WORLDSPAN, L.P.
("WORLDSPAN"), which Non-Competition Agreements impose certain restrictions upon
the Executive's ability to provide services to business enterprises other than
WORLDSPAN. A true and complete copy of the provision or provisions containing
such restrictions is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Except for the Non-
Competition Agreements, Executive has not entered into any agreement
prohibiting, restricting or otherwise limiting Executive's employment. Executive
is no longer employed by WORLDSPAN.

                                       8
<PAGE>

        6.2.  Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless
              ---------------
Executive from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages,
penalties, demands, judgments, costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees ("Losses") suffered or incurred by Executive as a result of any
violation, or alleged violation, of the Non-Competition Agreements arising out
of a Change in Control of the Company. The Company shall have thirty (30) days
after receipt of any notification of a claim for indemnification under the
preceding sentence ("Indemnifiable Claim") to undertake, conduct and control,
through counsel of its own choosing, and at its own expense, the settlement or
defense thereof, and Executive shall cooperate with the Company in connection
therewith if such cooperation is reasonably requested. If the Company assumes
responsibility for the settlement or defense of any Indemnifiable Claim, (i) the
Company shall permit Executive to participate in such settlement or defense
through counsel chosen by him (subject to the Company's consent, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld); provided that, except in the event of a conflict of
interest requiring Executive's retention of separate counsel, the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall not be borne by the Company, and (ii) the Company
shall not settle any Indemnifiable Claim without Executive's consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed for any reason if the
settlement involves only payment of money, and which consent may be withheld for
any reason if the settlement involves more than the payment of money. So long as
the Company is vigorously contesting any such Indemnifiable Claim in good faith,
Executive shall not pay or settle such claim without the Company's consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Company does not notify
Executive within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the Indemnifiable
Claim, Executive shall have the right, upon notice to the Company, to contest,
settle or compromise the Indemnifiable Claim in the exercise of its reasonable
discretion; provided that Executive shall notify the Company of any compromise
or settlement.

     7.  Proprietary Information; Interference with Business; Competitive
         ----------------------------------------------------------------
Activities.
----------

         7.1.   Defined. "Proprietary Information" is any confidential or
                -------
proprietary information about the Company or any Affiliated Company that
Executive acquired or may have acquired during the Employment Term except for
confidential or proprietary information that (i) is or becomes publicly known
through means not involving a breach of this Agreement or any other
confidentiality agreement to which the Company or any Affiliated Company is a
party or not otherwise unlawful; (ii) was rightfully in Executive's possession
or part of his general knowledge prior to his employment by the Company; or
(iii) s disclosed to Executive without confidential or proprietary restriction
by a third party who rightfully possesses the information (without confidential
or proprietary restriction) and did not learn of it, directly or indirectly,
from the Company.

         7.2.   General Restrictions on Use. Executive agrees to hold all
                ---------------------------
Proprietary Information in strict confidence and trust for the sole benefit of
the Company and not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, use, copy, publish,
summarize, or remove from the Company's premises any Proprietary Information (or
remove from the premises any other property of the Company), except (i) during
the Employment Term to the extent necessary to carry out Executive's
responsibilities under this Agreement and (ii) after the termination of the
Employment Term as specifically authorized in writing by a senior executive
officer of the Company. These rights of

                                       9
<PAGE>

the Company are in addition to all rights the Company has under the common
law or any other applicable federal or state law for protection of trade
secrets.

         7.3.   Interference with Business; Competitive Activities. Executive
                --------------------------------------------------
acknowledges that the pursuit of the activities forbidden by this Section 7.3
                                                                  -----------
would necessarily involve the use or disclosure of Proprietary Information in
breach of Section 7.2, but that proof of such breach would be extremely
          -----------
difficult. To forestall such disclosure, use, and breach, and in consideration
of the employment under this Agreement, Executive agrees that during his
employment and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Executive shall not, for
Executive or any third party, directly or indirectly

                (a)  interfere with the relationship between the Company or an
Affiliated Company (together, the "Corporation") and any employee, agent or
representative of the Corporation who is (i) engaged in management, relations
with suppliers, technical operations or sales and (ii) was employed with or
retained by the Corporation during the Employment Term;

                (b)  divert or attempt to divert from the Corporation any
business related to the sale of discount airline tickets to domestic or
international customers, or interfere with the relationships of the Corporation
with customers, dealers, distributors, or sources of supply (provided, however,
that any activity of Executive that does not violate subparagraph (c) below
shall be deemed not to violate this subparagraph (b)); or

                (c)  own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate
in, serve as a director of or consultant for, or be connected in any manner with
the ownership, management, operation or control of, any business or enterprise
other than the Corporation which is primarily engaged in, or has specific plans
to be primarily engaged in, the business of discount airline ticket sales;
provided, however, that Executive may own five percent (5%) or less of a public
company so engaged as long as such ownership is otherwise passive in nature.

     8.  Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Each party agrees that such party
         ----------------------------------
will not assign, sell, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of, whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, or by operation of law, any rights or obligations
under this Agreement, nor shall such party's rights be subject to encumbrance or
the claims of creditors. Any purported assignment, transfer, or delegation
thereof shall be null and void. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the
consolidation of the Company with, or its merger into, any other corporation, or
the sale by the Company of all or substantially all of its properties or assets,
or the assignment by the Company of this Agreement and the performance of its
obligations hereunder to any successor in interest or any Affiliated Company.
Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure
to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives,
successors, and permitted assigns, and shall not benefit any person or entity
other than those enumerated above.

     10.  Governing Law; Conciliation and Arbitration.
          -------------------------------------------

         10.1.  Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, enforceability, and
                -------------
performance of this Agreement, the Stock Option Award Agreement and the Note
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of
Hawaii, without giving effect to its conflict of laws rules.

         10.2.  Conciliation and Arbitration.
                ----------------------------

                (a)  In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising
 out of or relating in any manner to the employment or termination of Executive,
or any provision of this Agreement, the Stock Option Award Agreement or the
Note, or the interpretation, enforceability, performance, breach, termination or
validity hereof or thereof, including, without limitation, this Section 10.2 (a
                                                                ------------
"Dispute"), the parties shall attempt, in good faith, to amicably resolve the
Dispute. Either party may give the other party written notice of any Dispute not
resolved in the normal course of business. Within five (5) business days after
receipt of said notice, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or a
reasonable substitute therefor) and Executive shall negotiate in good faith to
resolve the Dispute for a period of thirty (30) days.

                (b)  Except as specifically stated in Sections 10.2(a) and
                                                      --------------------
10.2(f), all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Disputes shall include,
------
but are not limited to, contract (express or implied) and tort claims of all
kinds, as well as all claims based on any federal, state, or local law, statute,
or regulation, excepting only claims under applicable workers' compensation law
and unemployment insurance claims. By way of example and not in limitation of
the foregoing, Disputes shall include any claims arising under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the
Americans with Disabilities Act, and the California Fair Employment and Housing
Act, as well as any claims asserting wrongful termination, breach of contract,
breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, negligent or intentional
infliction of emotional distress, negligent or intentional misrepresentation,
negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic
advantage, defamation, invasion of privacy, and claims related to disability.
Arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be the
exclusive remedy for all Disputes. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY
HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD TO ANY DISPUTE.

                (c)  Arbitration of Disputes shall be in accordance with the
Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association
("AAA Employment Rules"), except as provided otherwise in this Agreement.
Arbitration shall be initiated by providing written notice to the other party
with a statement of the claim(s) asserted, the facts upon which the claim(s) are
based, and the remedy sought. The burden of proof in any arbitration shall be
allocated as provided by applicable law, unless otherwise specified in this
Agreement. Either party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under
this Agreement, the Stock Option Award Agreement or the Note and to enforce an
arbitration award. Otherwise, neither party shall initiate or prosecute any
lawsuit or administrative action in any

                                       12
<PAGE>

way related to any Dispute. All arbitration hearings under this Agreement, the
Stock Option Award Agreement or the Note shall be conducted in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of
this Section 10.2, if applicable; otherwise, this Section 10.2 shall be
     ------------                                 ------------
governed, interpreted and enforced under Chapter 658 of the Hawaii Revised
Statutes.

                (d)  All Disputes shall be decided by a single arbitrator. The
arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties within thirty
(30) days of the effective date of the notice initiating the arbitration. If the
parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, then the complaining party shall notify
the AAA and request selection of an arbitrator in accordance with the AAA
Employment Rules. The arbitrator shall have only such authority to award
equitable relief, damages, costs, and fees as a court would have for the
particular claim(s) asserted. The fees and expenses of any arbitration
(including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, attorneys and expert
witnesses) shall be paid by the losing party, as identified by the arbitrator.
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes,
including, but not limited to, any claim or allegation that all or any part of
this Agreement, the Stock Option Award Agreement or the Note is void or
unenforceable.

                (e)  All proceedings and all documents prepared in connection
with any Dispute shall be confidential and, unless otherwise required by law,
the subject matter thereof shall not be disclosed to any person other than the
parties to the proceedings, their counsel, witnesses and experts, the
arbitrator, and, if involved, the court and court staff. All documents filed
with the arbitrator or with a court shall be filed under seal. The parties shall
stipulate to all arbitration and court orders necessary to effectuate fully the
provisions of this subsection concerning confidentiality.

                (f)  If Executive breaches Section 2.2 or 7, the parties
                                           ----------------
acknowledge that the damage or imminent damage to the Company's business or its
goodwill would be irreparable and extremely difficult to estimate, making any
remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other
provision in this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to pursue a claim
for injunctive relief, damages and attorneys' fees in a court of competent
jurisdiction for Executive's breach of Executive's obligations pursuant to
Section 2.2 or 7 of this Agreement, in addition to any other relief available to
----------------
the Company under this Agreement or under law. If Executive prevails in any such
litigation, Executive shall be entitled to the fees and expenses incurred in
connection with Executive's defense thereunder, including expert witness costs
and attorneys' fees.

     11.  Entire Agreement.  The terms of this Agreement are intended by the
          ----------------
parties to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the
employment of Executive by the Company and may not be contradicted by evidence
of any prior or contemporaneous agreement. The parties further intend that this
Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and
that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial,
administrative, or other legal proceeding involving this Agreement.

     12.  Amendments; Waivers.  This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or
          -------------------
terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by Executive and by a duly
authorized representative of the Company other than Executive.  By an instrument
in writing similarly executed, either party may waive compliance by the other
party with any provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is
obligated to comply with or perform; provided, however, that such waiver shall
not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent
failure.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy,
or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, or power hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, or power
provided herein or by law or in equity.

     13.  Severability; Enforcement.  If any provision of this Agreement, or the
          -------------------------
application thereof to any person, place, or circumstance, shall be held by a
court of competent jurisdiction or by arbitrator(s) to be invalid,
unenforceable, or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such provisions as
applied to other persons, places, and circumstances shall remain in full force
and effect.  It is the intention of the parties that the covenants contained in
Section 7 shall be enforced to the greatest extent (but to no greater extent) in
---------
time, area, and degree of participation as is permitted by the law of that
jurisdiction whose law is found to be applicable to any acts allegedly in breach
of these covenants.  It being the purpose of Section 7 of this Agreement to
                                             ---------
govern competition by Executive anywhere throughout the world, the covenants
therein contained shall be governed by and construed according to that law (from
among those jurisdictions arguably applicable to this Agreement and those in
which a breach of this Agreement is alleged to have occurred or to be
threatened) which best gives them effect.

     14.  Executive Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges (i) that Executive
          ------------------------
has consulted with or has had the opportunity to consult with independent
counsel of his own choice concerning this Agreement and has been advised to do
so by the Company, and (ii) that Executive has read and understands the
Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, and has entered into it freely
based on Executive's own judgment.

     15.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts,
          ------------
each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be
deemed one and the same instrument.

     1.  FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Sam E. Galeotos, an individual
(the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the order of Cheap Tickets, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Lender"), at the Lender's address of 1440 Kapiolani

Lender from time to time may designate, in lawful money of the United States and
in immediately available funds, the principal amount of FOUR-HUNDRED THOUSAND
AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($400,000.00) with no interest thereon from the date the
proceeds of the loan evidenced by this Promissory Note (this "Note") are
disbursed until maturity (whether such maturity is scheduled or accelerated).

     2.  The entire unpaid principal balance and any other sums outstanding
under this Note shall be due and payable upon October 31, 2002.

     3.  Principal, any interest, and all other sums owed to the Lender under
this Note shall be evidenced by entries in records maintained by the Lender for
such purpose.

     4.  Any interest and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on
the basis of a 365-day year. In no event shall the Borrower be obliged to pay
interest at a rate in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law
from time to time in effect.

     5.  The Borrower may prepay some or all of the principal under this Note
without penalty or premium.

     6.  From and after maturity of this Note, whether scheduled or accelerated,
all sums then due and payable under this Note, including all principal and all
accrued interest, shall bear interest at a rate of Ten Percent (10%) per annum

Lender and the Borrower (the "Employment Agreement").

any of the Lender's rights, or of any breach, default or failure of condition of
or under this Note. All of the Lender's remedies in connection with this Note or
under applicable law shall be cumulative, and the Lender's exercise of any one
or more of those remedies shall not constitute an election of remedies. The
illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Note or any related
document shall not in any way
<PAGE>

affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Note or any related document.

     9.  This Note inures to and binds the heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns of the Borrower and the Lender; provided, however, that
the Borrower may not assign this Note, or assign or delegate any of its rights

                                   ---------

                Article IX of the Bylaws of Cheap Tickets, Inc.

                                   ARTICLE IX

          Indemnification of Officers, Directors, Employees and Agents

Section 9.1  Right to Indemnification.

     To the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or interpreted (but, in the case
of any such amendment or interpretation, only to the extent that such amendment
or interpretation permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification
rights than were permitted prior thereto), the corporation shall indemnify and
hold harmless each director or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to or is involved (as a party, witness, or otherwise), in any
threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter a "Proceeding"), by
reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom he is the legal representative,
is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation or of
a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of the Proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer, or in any other
capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the corporation against all expenses, liability, and loss (including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts
paid or to be paid in settlement, and any interest, assessments, or other
charges imposed thereon, and any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes imposed
on any director as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments
under this Article) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection
with investigating, defending, being a witness in, or participating in
(including on appeal), or preparing for any of the foregoing in, any Proceeding
(hereinafter "Expenses"); provided, however, that except as to actions to
enforce indemnification rights pursuant to Section 9.3 of this Article, the
                                           -----------
corporation shall indemnify any director or officer seeking indemnification in
connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if
the Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the
corporation.  The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a
contract right.

     The Corporation shall have the authority by contract or by resolution of
the Board of Directors to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended or interpreted (but, in the case of any such amendment or
interpretation, only to the extent that such amendment or interpretation permits
the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than were permitted
prior thereto), each agent or employee who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to or is involved (as a party, witness, or otherwise), in any
threatened, pending, or completed Proceeding, by reason of the fact that he, or
a person of whom he is the legal
<PAGE>

representative, is or was an agent or employee of the corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as an agent or employee of another
corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise,
including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of
the Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as an agent or
employee, or in any other capacity while serving as an agent or employee, may be
indemnified and held harmless by the corporation against all Expenses; provided,
however, that except as to actions to enforce indemnification rights pursuant to
Section 9.3 of this Article, the corporation shall indemnify any agent or
-----------
employee seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by such person only if the Proceeding (or part thereof) was
authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation. The right to
indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contract right.

Section 9.2  Authority to Advance Expenses.

     Expenses incurred by an officer or director (acting in his capacity as
such) in defending a Proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of
the final disposition of such Proceeding, provided, however, that if required by
the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, such Expenses shall be
advanced only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf
of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in this Article or otherwise.  Expenses incurred by other Agents of
the corporation (or by the directors or officers not acting in their capacity as
such, including service with respect to employee benefit plans) may be advanced
upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.  Any
obligation to reimburse the corporation for Expense advances shall be unsecured
and no interest shall be charged thereon.

Section 9.3  Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.

     If a claim under Section 9.1 or 9.2 of this Article is not paid in full by
                      ------------------
the corporation within 90 days after a written claim has been received by the
corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in
whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense
(including attorneys' fees) of prosecuting such claim.  It shall be a defense to
any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses
incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the
required undertaking has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has
not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the Delaware
General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the
amount claimed.  The burden of proving such a defense shall be on the
corporation.  Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of
the claimant is proper under the circumstances because he has met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an
actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant had not met
such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a
<PAGE>

defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the
applicable standard of conduct.

Section 9.4  Provisions Nonexclusive.

     The rights conferred on any person by this Article shall not be exclusive
of any other rights that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any
statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in an
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office.  To the extent that any provision of the Certificate, agreement, or vote
of the stockholders or disinterested directors is inconsistent with these
Bylaws, the provision, agreement, or vote shall take precedence.

Section 9.5  Authority to Insure.

     The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and
any Agent against any Expense, whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify the Agent against such Expense under applicable law or the
provisions of this Article.

Section 9.6  Survival of Rights.

     The rights provided by this Article shall continue as to a person who has
ceased to be an Agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors,
and administrators of such a person.

Section 9.7  Settlement of Claims.

     The corporation shall not be liable to indemnify any Agent under this
Article (a) for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected
without the corporation's written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; or (b) for any judicial award if the corporation was not
given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the
defense of such action.

Section 9.8  Effect of Amendment.

     Any amendment, repeal, or modification of this Article shall not adversely
affect any right or protection of any Agent existing at the time of such
amendment, repeal, or modification.

Section 9.9  Subrogation.

     In the event of payment under this Article, the corporation shall be
subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the
Agent, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be
necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents
necessary to enable the corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such
rights.
<PAGE>

Section 9.10  No Duplication of Payments.

     The corporation shall not be liable under this Article to make any payment
in connection with any claim made against the Agent to the extent the Agent has
otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, agreement,
vote, or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.
