Stock Option Agreement




SECTION 1. GRANT OF OPTION.




     (a) Option. On the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant and
this Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Company grants to the Optionee on the Effective
Date of Grant the option (the “Option”) to purchase at the Exercise Price the number of Shares set
forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.



     (b) Plan and Defined Terms. The Option is granted pursuant to the Plan. All terms,
provisions, and conditions applicable to the Option set forth in the Plan and not set forth herein
are hereby incorporated by reference herein. To the extent any provision hereof is inconsistent
with a provision of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. All capitalized terms that
are used in the Notice of Stock Option Grant or this Agreement and not otherwise defined therein or
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.



     SECTION 2. RIGHT TO EXERCISE.




     The Option hereby granted shall be exercised by written notice to the Committee, specifying
the number of Shares the Optionee desires to purchase together with provision for payment of the
Exercise Price. Subject to such limitations as the Committee may impose (including prohibition of
one more of the following payment methods), payment of the Exercise Price may be made by (a) check
payable to the order of the Company, for an amount in United States dollars equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price of such Shares, (b) by tendering to the Company Shares having an aggregate Fair
Market Value equal to such Exercise Price, (c) by broker-assisted exercise, or (d) by a combination
of such methods. The Company may require the Optionee to furnish or execute such other documents
as the Company shall reasonably deem necessary (i) to evidence such exercise and (ii) to comply
with or satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act,
applicable state or non-U.S. securities laws or any other law.



SECTION 3. TERM AND EXPIRATION.




     (a) Basic Term. Subject to earlier termination pursuant to the terms here, the Option shall
expire on the expiration date set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.



     (b) Termination of Employment or Service. If the Optionee’s employment or service as a
Director or Consultant, as the case may be, is terminated, the Option shall expire on the earliest
of the following occasions:




               (i) The expiration date set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant;



-1-









 






               (ii) The date three months following the termination of the Optionee’s employment or service
for any reason other than Cause, death, or Disability;




               (iii) The date one year following the termination of the Optionee’s employment or service due
to death or Disability; or




               (iv) The date of termination of the Optionee’s employment or service for Cause.


The Optionee may exercise all or part of this Option at any time before its expiration under the
preceding sentence, but, subject to the following sentence, only to the extent that the Option had
become vested before the Optionee’s employment or service terminated. 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
exercised (prior to expiration) by the personal representative of the Optionee or by any person who
has acquired this Option directly from the Optionee by will, bequest or inheritance, but only to
the extent that the Option was vested and exercisable upon termination of the Optionee’s employment
or service.




     (c) Definition of “Cause.” The term “Cause” 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 “Cause,” or if the Optionee has not entered into an
employment agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary, the term “Cause” shall mean (i) the
willful engaging by the Optionee in misconduct that is demonstrably injurious to the Company or any
Subsidiary (monetarily or otherwise), (ii) the Optionee’s conviction of, or pleading guilty or nolo
contendere to, a felony involving moral turpitude, or (iii) the Optionee’s violation of any
confidentiality, non-solicitation, or non-competition covenant to which the Optionee is subject.



     (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
Optionee’s entitlement to long-term disability benefits pursuant to the long-term disability plan
maintained by the Company or in which the Company’s employees participate.



SECTION 4. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION.





     The Option shall not be transferable by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent
and distribution, and the Option shall be exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the
Optionee or on his or her behalf by the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative.



SECTION 5. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.




     (a) Acknowledgements. The Optionee hereby acknowledges that he or she has read and
understands the terms of this Agreement, and agrees to be bound by its 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
Option.



     (b) Tax Withholding. Pursuant to Article 20 of the Plan, the Committee shall have the power
and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Optionee to remit to the Company, an amount
sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local taxes (including the Optionee’s FICA
obligations) required by law to be withheld with respect to this Option. The Committee may
condition the delivery of Shares upon the Optionee’s satisfaction of such withholding obligations.
The Optionee 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 payroll 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, signed by the Optionee, 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.



     (d) Rights as a Stockholder. Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee’s transferee 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 have indicated the
Optionee’s acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan or this
Agreement and Notice of Stock Option Grant by the Company, the Board, or the Committee.



     (f) Notice. Any notice required by the terms of this Agreement shall be given in writing and
shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit with the United States Postal
Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid. Notice shall be addressed
to the Company at its principal executive office and to the Optionee at the address that he or she
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 Agreement or Notice of Stock Option
Grant to be governed by or construed in accordance with the substantive law of another
jurisdiction.

     (h) Modification or Amendment. This Agreement may only be modified or amended by written
agreement executed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that the adjustments permitted
pursuant to Article 4.3 of the Plan may be made without such written agreement.



     (i) 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 construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid
provision had not been included.



     (j) References to Plan. All references to the Plan shall be deemed references to the Plan as
may be amended from time to time.



     (k) Section 409A Compliance. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Plan and this
Agreement comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and any related regulations or other
guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the
Internal Revenue Service and the Plan and the Award Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly.
