NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises
contained herein and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

Purchase Date is on or before March 15, 2018.

(b)    Shares issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock shall not be transferable
for a period of one year following the Purchase Date and certificates
representing such shares shall have a legend to that effect.

2.    FORFEITURE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Grantee
shall immediately forfeit all of his rights and interest in the Restricted Stock
upon the earlier to occur of the following: (a) the termination of his
employment with the Company for any reason before the Restricted Stock becomes
vested in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, and (b) the Grantee’s
failure to purchase, on the open market, the Purchased Stock on or before
March 15, 2018.

3.    RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee,
the shares of Restricted Stock are not transferable unless and until they become
vested in accordance with this Agreement, otherwise than by will or under the
applicable laws of descent and distribution. The terms of this Agreement shall

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of
the Grantee. Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the first sentence of
this Section, any attempt to effect a Transfer of any shares of Restricted Stock
prior to the date on which the shares become vested shall be void ab initio. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Transfer” shall mean any sale, transfer,
encumbrance, gift, donation, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, or other
disposition, whether similar or dissimilar to those previously enumerated,

thereof) subject to this Restricted Stock award become vested pursuant to
Section 2 hereof, subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof. All such stock
certificates shall bear the following legends, along with such other legends
that the Committee shall deem necessary and appropriate or which are otherwise
required or indicated pursuant to any applicable stockholders agreement:

(b)    Stock Powers. The Grantee shall deposit with the Company stock powers or
other instruments of transfer or assignment, duly endorsed in blank with

of Restricted Stock until such shares become vested, on a form attached hereto
as Exhibit A. If the Grantee shall fail to provide the Company with any such
stock power or other instrument of transfer or assignment, the Grantee hereby
irrevocably appoints the Secretary of the Company as his attorney-in-fact, with
full power of appointment and substitution, to execute and deliver any such
power or other instrument which may be necessary to effectuate the transfer of
the Restricted Stock (or assignment of distributions thereon) on the books and
records of the Company. In addition, the Company may require the spouse of the
Grantee, if any, to execute and deliver to the Company the Consent of Spouse in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

(c)    Delivery of Stock Certificates. On or after each vesting date, upon
written request to the Company by the Grantee, the Company shall promptly cause
a new certificate or certificates to be issued for and with respect to all
shares that become vested on that vesting date, which certificate(s) shall be
delivered to the Grantee as soon as administratively practicable after the date

or certificates shall continue to bear those legends and endorsements that the
Company shall deem necessary or appropriate (including those relating to
restrictions on transferability and/or obligations and restrictions under the
securities laws).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

rights shall be forfeited). Any Shares issued to the Grantee as a dividend with
respect to shares of Restricted Stock shall have the same status and bear the

so held, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. In addition,
notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, any cash dividends
declared with respect to shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement

exchange of such shares, then and in that event, the Committee shall make any
adjustments it deems fair and appropriate, in view of such change, in the number
of shares of Restricted Stock then subject to this Agreement. If any such
adjustment shall result in a fractional Share, such fraction shall be
disregarded.

(c)    No Restrictions on Certain Transactions. Notwithstanding any term or
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the existence of this Agreement, or
of any outstanding Restricted Stock awarded hereunder, shall not affect in any
manner the right, power or authority of the Company to make, authorize or

other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; (ii) any
merger, consolidation or similar transaction by or of the Company; (iii) any

those that the Restricted Stock includes, has or possesses, or any warrants,
options or rights with respect to any of the foregoing; (iv) the dissolution or

purposes an amount equal to the fair market value (as of the Grant Date) of the

attached hereto as Exhibit C, the Grantee shall make arrangements satisfactory
to the Company to pay to the Company any federal, state or local income taxes

shall fail to make such tax payments as are required, the Company shall, to the
extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind

Committee for payment of, any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required
by law to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock (including without
limitation the vesting thereof), and the Company shall, to the extent permitted

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Grantee. Upon request of the Grantee, the Company shall, to the extent
permitted by law, deduct from any payment of any kind (including without
limitation, the withholding of any Shares that otherwise would be distributed to
the Grantee under this Agreement) otherwise due to Grantee any federal, state,
or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the
Restricted Stock. The Grantee shall consult with his own personal accountant(s)
and/or tax advisor(s) regarding these matters, the making of a Section 83(b)
election, and the Grantee’s filing, withholding and payment (or tax liability)
obligations.

7.    NO EFFECT ON EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the
Grantee the right to continue in the employment of the Company or affect any
right which the Company may have to terminate the employment of the Grantee
regardless of the effect of such termination of employment on the rights of the
Grantee under or this Agreement. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated for
any reason whatsoever (and whether lawful or otherwise), he will not be entitled
to claim any compensation for or in respect of any consequent diminution or
extinction of his rights or benefits (actual or prospective) under this
Agreement or any award. The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the
terms of his employment with the Company will not be affected by his
participation in this Agreement, and this Agreement does not form part of any
contract of employment between the Grantee and the Company or any Subsidiary.
The granting of awards is entirely at the discretion of the Committee, and the
Grantee shall not in any circumstances have any right to be granted an award.

8.    CLAWBACK.

(a)    The Company may: (x) cause the cancellation of the Restricted Stock;
(y) require reimbursement with respect to the Restricted Stock; and (z) effect
any other right of recoupment of equity or other compensation provided under
this Agreement or otherwise in accordance with any Company policies generally
applicable to the Company’s officers and/or directors that currently exist or
that may from time to time be adopted or modified in the future by the Company
and/or applicable law (each, a “Clawback Policy”), provided that the following
conditions are satisfied: (1) there is an accounting restatement of the
Company’s financial statements or results and (2) the restatement results from a
noncompliance by the Company with any requirements under or related to the
federal securities laws that is material, injurious to the Company or was the
result of actions with bad intent. In such an event, the claw back will be in an
amount of up to the total economic gain from any stock-based grants within the
five-year period preceding the restatement. By accepting the Restricted Stock,
the Grantee agrees to be bound to any existing or future Clawback Policy adopted
by the Company, or any amendments that may from time to time be made to the
Clawback Policy in the future by the Company, as required to comply with
applicable laws or stock exchange requirements, and is further agreeing that all
of the Grantee’s equity awards may be unilaterally amended by the Company,
without the Grantee’s consent, to the extent that the Company in its discretion
determines to be necessary or appropriate to comply with any Clawback Policy to
the extent required to comply with applicable laws or stock exchange
requirements.

(b)    If the Grantee, without the consent of the Company, while employed by or
providing services to the Company or after termination of such employment or
service, violates a non-competition, non-solicitation or non-disclosure covenant
or agreement or otherwise violates the Company’s Corporate Governance
Guidelines, Code of Conduct and Ethics, Code of Ethics for the Chief Executive
Officer and Senior Financial Officer or any other corporate governance materials
specified by the SEC or exchange on which common stock of the Company is listed,
then, if such violation is material and injurious to the Company, or was the
result of actions with bad intent: (i) any outstanding, vested or unvested,
earned or unearned portion of the Restricted Stock may, at the Committee’s
discretion, be canceled and (ii) the Committee, in its discretion, may require
the Grantee or other person to whom any payment has been made or shares or other
property have been transferred in connection with the Restricted Stock to
forfeit and pay over to the Company, on demand, all or any portion of the gain
(whether or not taxable) realized upon the sale of any Restricted Stock.

accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

portion thereof contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate
or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement
