Option granted to an Optionee shall be set forth in an Option Agreement upon
such terms and conditions as the Chief Executive determines. Each such Option
Agreement shall incorporate the provisions of this Plan by reference. The date

Each Option Agreement shall specifically identify such Options as Incentive
Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options.

        6.    SPECIAL INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PROVISIONS.    In addition to the
foregoing, Options granted under the Plan which are intended to be Incentive
Stock Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

        6.1    Exercise Price.    The per share exercise price of an Incentive
Stock Option shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant.

        6.2    Dollar Limitation.    To the extent that the aggregate fair
market value of (a) the Shares with respect to which Options are designated
hereunder as Incentive Stock Options plus (b) the shares of stock of the Company
with respect to which other Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the
first time by an Optionee during any calendar year under all other plans of the
Company, exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock
Options. For purposes of the preceding sentence, (i) Options shall be taken into
account in the order in which they were granted, and (ii) the Fair Market Value
of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option or other incentive
stock option is granted.

        6.3    10% Shareholder.    If any Optionee to whom an Incentive Stock
Option is to be granted pursuant to the provisions of the Plan is, on the date
of grant, the owner (as determined in accordance with Section 425(d) of the
Code) of Capital Stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company, then the following special
provisions shall be applicable to the Option granted to such individual:

        (a)   The per Share Option price of Shares subject to such Incentive
Stock Option shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant; and

        (b)   The Option shall not have a term in excess of ten (10) years from
the date of grant.

        6.4    Continuous Employment.    No Incentive Stock Option granted under
the Plan shall be exercisable unless at all times during the period beginning on
the date of grant of such Option and ending on the date three (3) months before
the date of exercise of such Option (or the date twelve (12) months before the
date of such exercise, in the case of an 0ptionee who is Disabled), the Optionee
was in the Continuous Employment of the Company.

        6.5    Limitations on Transfer.    Any Shares acquired as a result of
the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be sold or otherwise
transferred or disposed of within two (2) years following the date of grant of
such Option or within one (1) year after the exercise of such Option. Further,
no Incentive Stock Option shall be transferable otherwise than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution and may be exercisable only during the
Optionee's lifetime or within three (3) months thereafter.

        6.6    Duration.    No Incentive Stock Option granted under this Plan
shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date such Option
is granted. Except as modified by the preceding provisions of this Article 6 and
except as otherwise limited by Section 422 of the Code, all of the provisions of
the Plan shall be applicable to the Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder.

5

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

        7.    OPTION PRICES.    The option exercise price for Shares issuable
pursuant to Incentive Stock Options shall be as provided in Article 6 hereof.
The option exercise price for Shares issuable pursuant to Nonqualified Stock

applicable Option Agreement and may be an exercise price less than the Fair
Market Value per Share on the date of grant of such Nonqualified Stock 0ption.

        8.    TERM OF OPTIONS.    The term of an Option may vary within the sole
discretion of the Chief Executive; provided, however, that the terms of
Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder shall be as provided in Article 6 and
Section 9.3 hereof.

        9.    EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.    

        9.1    Vesting of Options.    No Option granted under this Plan shall be
exercisable unless and until such Option has become a Vested Option. Subject to
the acceleration provisions of Section 9.2 hereinbelow, Options granted under
this Plan that are designated as Incentive Stock Options and that have not
previously become Vested Options shall vest 100% and become Vested Options on
the date nine (9) years and nine (9) months following the applicable date of
grant. The vesting schedule for Nonqualified Stock Options granted hereunder
shall be established by the Chief Executive or the Committee and shall be set
forth in the Option Agreement to such applicable Nonqualified Stock Options.

        9.2    Acceleration of Vesting.    Options granted under this Plan that
are designated as Incentive Stock Options and that are not Vested Options on the
Initial Public Trading Date shall vest 25% on the Initial Public Trading Date
and 25% on each subsequent anniversary of the Initial Public Trading Date. An
Option that becomes a Vested Option on or after the Initial Public Trading Date
shall be exercisable until the earlier of (a) the expiration of the term of such
Option or (b) five (5) years following the date on which such Option became a
Vested Option. Thereafter, such Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable
and shall be deemed cancelled and terminated.

        9.3    Limitations on Exercise of Options.    An Option shall be
exercisable only during the term of the Option. Options granted hereunder and
designated as Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to the limitations on
exercise set forth in Article 6 hereof. The Chief Executive, in his sole
discretion, may grant Nonqualified Stock Options on terms that limit the
exercisability thereof to conditions in addition to the conditions specified in
this Plan and which permit the exercise of such Options for certain periods (not
to exceed six (6) months) following termination of the Continuous Employment of
the Optionee, all as set forth in the provisions of the Option Agreement
applicable to such Nonqualified Stock 0ptions. Subject to the limitations set
forth in Article 6 hereof with respect to Incentive Stock 0ptions, and unless
otherwise provided in the Option Agreement applicable to Nonqualified Stock
Options granted hereunder, Options otherwise exercisable in accordance with the
provisions of the applicable Option Agreement shall be exercisable:

        (a)   for a period ending 30 days after the Optionee's Continuous
Employment has terminated, unless the Optionee was terminated for Cause by the
Company or Cause existed at the time the Optionee voluntarily terminated
Optionee's employment with the Company, in which case the Option shall terminate
upon delivery of notice of termination of employment; or

        (b)   in the case of Nonqualified Stock Options, by the estate of the
Optionee, within 12 months after the date of the Optionee's death, if the
Optionee should die while in Continuous Employment; or

        (c)   within 12 months after the Optionee's employment with the Company
terminates, if the Optionee becomes Disabled during Continuous Employment and
such Disability is the cause of termination.

6

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

        9.4    Termination of Unvested Options.    Options that are not Vested
Options on the date of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Employment for
any reason whatsoever shall terminate on such date and thereafter shall not be
exercisable in whole or in part.

        9.5    Method of Exercising Options.    Subject to the provisions of the
applicable Option Agreement, including any provisions relating to vesting of an
Option, an Optionee may exercise an Option, in whole or in part, only by written
notice to the Company stating in such written notice the number of Exercise
Shares such Optionee elects to purchase under the Option, and the time of the
delivery thereof, which time shall be at least 15 days after the giving of such
notice, unless an earlier date shall have been mutually agreed upon. If, after
receipt of such information, the Optionee desires to withdraw such notice of
exercise, the Optionee may withdraw such notice of exercise by notifying the
Company, in writing, prior to the time set forth for delivery of the Shares. In
no event shall an Option be exercised after the expiration of its term. An
Optionee is under no obligation to exercise an Option or any part thereof.

        9.6    Payment for Shares.    The consideration to be paid for Share to
be issued upon exercise of an Option may consist in whole or in part of
(a) cash, (b) check, or (c) other Shares which (i) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an Option either have been owned by the Optionee for
more than six (6) months on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly
or indirectly, from the Company, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date
of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which
such 0ption is exercised. In the alternative, the Chief Executive may, but is
not required to, accept a promissory note, secured or unsecured, in the amount
of the Option exercise price from the Optionee on terms and conditions
satisfactory to the Chief Executive.

        9.7    Delivery of Stock to Optionee.    Provided the Optionee has
delivered proper notice of exercise and full payment of the exercise price, the
Company shall undertake and follow all necessary procedures to make prompt
delivery of the number of Shares which the Optionee elects to purchase at the
time specified in such notice. Such delivery, however, may be postponed at the
sole discretion of the Company to enable the Company to comply with any
applicable procedures, regulations or listing requirements of any governmental
agency, stock exchange or regulatory authority. As a condition to the issuance
of Shares, the Company may require such additional payments from the Optionee or
may, at its option, reduce the number of shares to be delivered to the Optionee,
as may be required to allow the Company to withhold any income taxes which the
Company deems necessary to ensure the Company's compliance with federal or state
income tax withholding requirements.

        10.    NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.    Except as otherwise provided in
Section 9.3(b) with respect to Nonqualified Stock Options, an Option granted to
an Optionee may be exercised only during such Optionee's lifetime by such
Optionee. An Option ay not be sold, exchanged, assigned, pledged, encumbered,
hypothecated or otherwise transferred except by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. No Option or any right thereunder shall be subject to
execution, attachment or similar process by any creditors of the 0ptionee. Upon
any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance
of any Option contrary to the provisions hereof, such Option and all rights
thereunder shall immediately terminate and shall be null and void with respect
to the transferee or assignee.

        11.    COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES LAWS.    

        11.1    Optionee's Written Statement.    The Chief Executive may, in is
sole discretion require, at the time an Optionee elects to exercise an Option, a
written statement from the Optionee to the Company that he is acquiring the
underlying shares for investment purposes only and that he has no intention of
reselling or otherwise disposing of such shares, together with a written
acknowledgment that the Option and the underlying shares are not registered
under the Securities

7

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

Act, the securities laws of the State of Florida, or any other state securities
laws. In the event that shares issued or issuable upon exercise of an Option are
registered with the Commission under the Securities Act, the holder of such
Option shall no longer be required to comply with this Section 11.1.

        11.2    Registration Requirements.    If at any time the Chief Executive
determines, in his sole discretion, that the listing, registration or
qualification of the shares of Stock subject to Options upon any securities
exchange or under any state or federal securities laws, or the consent or
approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a
condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of shares of Stock
thereunder, then such Options may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless
such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been
effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Chief
Executive.

        11.3    Restrictions on Transfer of Shares.    Subject to any
shareholder agreement to which the holder of shares of Stock may be a party,
Exercise Shares acquired by an Optionee pursuant to the exercise of an Option
may not be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated, unless (a) a registration
statement covering the securities is effective under the Securities Act and
appropriate state securities laws, or (b) an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to
the Company, that such sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation may legally be
made without registration of such Shares under federal or state securities laws,
has been received by the Company. Shares issued upon the exercise of
Nonqualified Stock Options may, in the discretion of the Chief Executive, be
subject to certain additional restrictions and limitations on transfer,
repurchase rights and other conditions as may be specified in the Option
Agreement applicable to such Nonqualified Stock Options.

        11.4    Restrictive Legend.    In order to enforce the restrictions
imposed upon Exercise Shares issued under this Plan, the Company shall make
appropriate notation its stock records or, if applicable, shall issue an
appropriate stock transfer instruction to the Company's stock transfer agent. In
addition, the Company may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any
certificates representing Exercise Shares issued pursuant to this Plan, which
legend or legends shall make appropriate reference to such restrictions in
substantially the following form:

        The shares of common stock evidenced by this certificate: (1) have been
issued under the Distributed Processing Technology Corp. Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") and are subject to the terms and provisions of such Plan; and (2) have
not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Florida
Securities and Investor Protection Act or any other state securities laws, and,
therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Act
and any applicable state securities laws, or unless an exemption from
registration is available.

        12.    EFFECT OF CERTAIN CHANGES.    

        12.1    Stock Splits, Recapitalization, Etc.    Subject to any required
action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each
outstanding Option, and the number of Shares which have been authorized for
issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or
which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an
Option, as well as the price per Share covered by each such outstanding Option,
shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of
issued Class B Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend, combination or reclassification of the Stock or any other increase or
decrease in the aggregate number of issued Class B Shares effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of
any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been
"effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by
the Chief Executive, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding
and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company
of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into Shares of

8

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

any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Option.

        12.2    Dissolution, Merger, Etc.    

        (a)   In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, all outstanding Options will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Chief
Executive. The Chief Executive may, in the exercise of his sole discretion in
such instances, declare that any Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by
the Chief Executive and give each Optionee the right to exercise his or her
Option as to all or any part of the Shares issuable upon exercise thereof,
including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable.

        (b)   Subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) hereof, in the event of
a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the
merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding Option
shall be assumed by, or an equivalent option shall be substituted by, such
successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation,
unless the Chief Executive determines, in the exercise of his sole discretion
and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, that the Optionee shall have the
right to exercise the Option as to all of the Shares issuable upon exercise
thereof, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be
exercisable. If the Chief Executive makes an Option fully exercisable in lieu of
assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the
Company shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall be fully exercisable for
a period of 15 days from the date of such notice, and the Option will terminate
upon the expiration of such period. For purposes of this paragraph, an Option
granted under the Plan shall be deemed to be assumed if, following the sale of
assets or merger, the Option confers the right to purchase, for each Share
subject to the Option immediately prior to the sale of assets or merger, the
consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in
the sale of assets or merger by holders of Stock for each Share held on the
effective date of the transaction (and if such holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders if a majority of
the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received
in the sale of assets or merger was not solely common stock of the successor
corporation or its parent, the Chief Executive may, with the consent of the
successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon
exercise of the Option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by
holders of Shares in the sale of assets or merger.

        (c)   In the event of a "Change in Control" of the Company, if
determined by the Chief Executive prior to the occurrence of such Change in
Control, the following acceleration and valuation provisions shall apply:

        (i)    Any Options outstanding as of the date such Change in Control is
determined to have occurred that are not yet Vested Options on such date shall
become fully vested and exercisable; and/or

        (ii)   The value of all outstanding Options shall be cashed out at the
Change in Control Price. The cash out proceeds shall be paid to the Optionee or,
in the event of death of an Optionee prior to payment, to the estate of the

by request or inheritance.

        (d)   Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 12.2 shall not apply

of value. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in case of any consolidation
or merger of another corporation into the Company in which the Company is the
surviving corporation and in which there is a reclassification or change
(including a change to the right to receive cash or other property) of shares of
Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or
as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in such
shares into two or more classes or series of shares), the Chief Executive may
provide that the holder of each Option shall have the right to exercise such
Option solely for the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities
(including those of any new direct or indirect parent of the Company), property,
cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such reclassification, change,
consolidation or merger by the holder of the number of Shares for which such
Option might have been exercised.

        (e)   In the event of a change in the Capital Stock of the Company as
presently constituted which is limited to a change of all of its authorized
shares with par value into the same number of shares with a different par value
or without par value, or the conversion of the present classes of Stock into a
new or different class of capital stock as the result of or in connection with a
recapitalization, the shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to
be Stock within the meaning of the Plan.

        (f)    To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or
securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Chief
Executive, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive, provided that each Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to this
Plan shall not be adjusted in a manner that causes such option to fail to
continue to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of IRC
section 422A.

        (g)   Except as expressly provided in this Article 12, no Optionee shall
have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock
of any class or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or
decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or by reason of any
dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation or spin-off of assets or
stock of another corporation; and any issue by the Company of shares of stock of
any class shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made
with respect to, the number or price of shares of Stock subject to any Option.
The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the
right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications,
reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structures or to merge or
to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or part of its
business or assets.

        13.    AGREEMENT BY OPTIONEE REGARDING WITHHOLDING TAXES.    If the
Chief Executive shall so require, as a condition of the exercise, each Optionee
shall agree that (a) no later than the date of exercise of any Nonqualified
Option, the Optionee will pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory
to the Chief Executive regarding payment of, any federal, state or local taxes
of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the exercise of such Options,
and (b) the Company shall, to the extent permitted or required by law, have the
right to deduct federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld upon the exercise of such Option from any payment of any kind otherwise
due to the Optionee.

        14.    ESCROWED SHARES.    In order to enforce any restrictions imposed
upon Exercise Shares under this Plan or the applicable Option Agreement, the
Chief Executive may require any Optionee to enter into an Escrow Agreement
providing that the certificates representing Exercise Shares issued pursuant to
this Plan shall remain in the physical custody of an escrow holder until any or
all of such restrictions have terminated.

        15.    APPLICATION OF FUNDS.    All proceeds received by the Company
from the exercise of Options shall be paid into its treasury and such proceeds
shall be used for general corporate purposes.

        16.1    Prior to Exercise.    No Optionee or his legal representatives,
legatees or distributees, as the case may be, will be, or will be deemed to be,
a holder of any share of Stock subject to an Option unless and until stock
certificates representing Exercise Shares are issued to such person or persons
pursuant to the terms of this Plan. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12

after issuance of their stock certificates, to any dividends that thereafter may
be declared and paid on the Exercise Shares registered in their names. A stock
certificate representing dividends declared and paid in shares of stock shall be
issued and delivered to the Holder after such shares have been registered in the
Holder's name. Such stock certificate shall bear the legends set forth above and
shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan, the applicable Option Agreement
and any escrow arrangement entered into pursuant to Section 15.

to receive all notices of meetings and exercise all voting rights, if any, of
holders of Stock with respect to such Exercise Shares purchased.

any Option, the Chief Executive may, in his discretion, require any Optionee to
enter into a Stock Transfer Restriction Agreement imposing certain restrictions
and limitations on the sale or other transfer of Shares to be issued upon the
exercise of Options.

        17.    AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.    

        17.1    Discretion of the Chief Executive.    The Chief Executive may
amend or terminate this Plan at any time provided; however, that (a) any such
amendment or termination shall not adversely affect the rights of Optionees who
were granted Options prior thereto, and (b) any such amendment shall not result
in a "modification" of any Option within the meaning of Section 425(h) of the
Code.

        17.2    Automatic Termination.    This Plan shall terminate 10 years
after its adoption, unless the Chief Executive shall, in his discretion, elect
to terminate this Plan at an earlier date. Options may be granted under this
Plan at any time and from time to time prior to termination of the Plan under
this Section 17.2. Any Option outstanding at the time the Plan is terminated
under this Section 17.2 shall remain in effect until the Option is exercised or
expires.

        18.    MISCELLANEOUS.

writing and delivered in person or by mail to the Chief Executive Officer at the
principal office of the Company.

        18.2    Effective Date of the Plan.    The Plan shall take effect upon
its adoption by the Board of Directors but shall be subject to the approval of
the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of voting Class A
Common Stock of the Company, which approval must occur within 12 months after
the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

        18.3    Employment.    Nothing in the Plan or in any Option granted
hereunder, or in any Option Agreement relating thereto, shall confer upon any
employee of the Company the right to continue in the employ of the Company. All
employment relationships between an Optionee and the Company are at-will, unless
the Optionee and the Company are parties to a separate written agreement
providing for a specific employment duration.

hereof are inserted for convenience and reference, and constitute no part of the
Plan.

        18.7    Applicable Law.    The validity, interpretation and enforcement
of this Plan are governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Florida
and the United States of America.
