hereby incorporated by reference herein. To the extent any provision hereof is

cashless exercise, (d) in any other manner then permitted by the Committee, or
(e) by a combination of any of the permitted methods of payment. The Company may

service. When the Optionee's employment or service terminates, this Option shall
expire immediately with respect to the number of Shares for which the Option is
not yet vested. If the Optionee dies after termination of employment or service,
but before the expiration of the Option, all or part of this Option may be

(d)Definition of “Disability.” The term “Disability” shall have the meaning
ascribed to such term in the Optionee's employment agreement with the Company or
any Subsidiary. If the Optionee's employment agreement does not define the term
“Disability,” or if the Optionee has not entered into an employment agreement
with the Company or any Subsidiary, the term “Disability” shall mean the

SECTION 6.MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

and understands the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, and agrees to be bound
by their respective terms and conditions. The Optionee acknowledges that there
may be tax consequences upon the exercise or transfer of the Option and that the
Optionee should consult an independent tax advisor prior to any exercise of the

(b)Tax Withholding. Pursuant to Article 20 of the Plan, the Committee shall have
the power and right to deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy any
federal, state and local taxes (including the Grantee's FICA taxes) required by
law to be withheld with respect to this Award. The Committee may condition the
delivery of Shares upon the Grantee's satisfaction of such withholding
obligations. The Grantee may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding
requirement by tendering previously-owned Shares or by having the Company
withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory
withholding (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for

 

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

 

federal, state and local tax purposes, as applicable, including the Grantee's
FICA taxes) that could be imposed on the transaction, and, to the extent the
Committee so permits, amounts in excess of the minimum statutory withholding to
the extent it would not result in additional accounting expense. Such election
shall be irrevocable, made in writing and signed by the Grantee, and shall be
subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole
discretion, deems appropriate.
(c)Notice Concerning Disqualifying Dispositions. If the Option is an Incentive
Stock Option, the Optionee shall notify the Committee of any disposition of
Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option if the disposition
constitutes a “disqualifying disposition” within the meaning of Sections 421 and
422 of the Code (or any successor provision of the Code then in effect relating
to disqualifying dispositions). Such notice shall be provided by the Optionee to
the Committee in writing within 10 days of any such disqualifying disposition.

or representative shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any
Shares subject to this Option until the Option has been exercised and Share
certificates have been issued to the Optionee, transferee or representative, as
the case may be.
 
(e)Ratification of Actions. By accepting this Agreement, the Optionee and each
person claiming under or through the Optionee shall be conclusively deemed to

most recently provided in writing to the Company.
 
(g)Choice of Law. This Agreement and the Notice of Stock Option Grant shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Florida, without
regard to any conflicts of law or choice of law rule or principle that might
otherwise cause the Plan, this Agreement or the Notice of Stock Option Grant to

out of or relating to the Plan, this Agreement or the Notice of Stock Option

submitted in accordance with the provisions and commercial purposes of the Plan,
this Agreement and the Notice of Stock Option Grant, provided that all
substantive questions of law shall be determined in accordance with the state
and Federal laws applicable in Florida, without regard to internal principles
relating to conflict of laws.

written agreement executed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that the
adjustments permitted pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Plan may be made without
such written agreement.
 
(j)Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held
illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect
the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be
