Stock Option or (ii) as a Non-qualified Stock Option.  Options designated as
Incentive Stock Options that fail to continue to meet the requirements of
Section 422 of the Code shall be redesignated as Non-qualified Stock Options
automatically on the date of such failure to continue to meet such requirements
without further action by the Committee. In the absence of any designation,
Options granted under the Plan will be deemed to be Non-qualified Stock Options.

          7.2  Grant of Options.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the
               ----------------
Plan, the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, prior to the date of
termination of the Plan, grant to such Eligible Individuals as the Committee may
determine, Options to purchase such number of shares of Class A Common Stock on
such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.  The date on which the
Committee approves the grant of an Option (or such later date as is specified by
the Committee) shall be considered the date on which such Option is granted.

          7.3  Limitation on Incentive Stock Options.
               -------------------------------------

               7.3.1   Section 424 Employees.  Incentive Stock Options may only
                       ---------------------
be granted to Section 424 Employees.  Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Plan and the Option Agreement (including all vesting provisions and option
periods), any and all Incentive Stock Options which an employee fails to
exercise within 90 days after the date said employee ceases to be a Section 424
Employee shall automatically be classified as non-qualified Stock Options to the
extent that said Options have not otherwise been terminated.

               7.3.2   Fair Market Value.  Subject to Section 7.3.3 below, an
                       -----------------
Incentive Stock Option shall not be granted with an Exercise Price less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Class A Common
Stock on the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted. The Committee shall
determine Fair Market Value in accordance with the provisions of Section 422 of
the Code.

               7.3.3   Ten Percent Stockholder.  Notwithstanding any other
                       -----------------------
provision of this Plan to the contrary, no individual may receive an Incentive
Stock Option under the Plan if such individual, at the time the award is
granted, owns (after application of the rules contained in Section

                                       5
<PAGE>

424(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of SBA, unless (i) the Exercise
Price for each share of Class A Common Stock subject to such Incentive Stock
Option is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a
share of Class A Common Stock on the date of grant and (ii) such Incentive Stock
Option is not exercisable after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of
grant.

               7.3.4   Limitation on Grants.  The aggregate Fair Market Value
                       --------------------
(determined with respect to each Incentive Stock Option at the time such
Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the shares of Class A Common Stock with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by
an individual during any calendar year (under this Plan or any other plan of the
Company) shall not exceed $100,000. If an Incentive Stock Option is granted
pursuant to which the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares with respect to
which it first becomes exercisable in any calendar year by an individual exceeds
such $100,000 limitation, the portion of such Option which is in excess of the
$100,000 limitation, and any Options issued subsequently in the same calendar
year, shall be treated as a Non-qualified Stock Option pursuant to Section
422(d)(1) of the Code.  In the event that an individual is eligible to
participate in any other stock option plan of the Company which is also intended
to comply with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, such $100,000
limitation shall apply to the aggregate number of shares for which Incentive
Stock Options may be granted under this Plan and all such other plans.

         7.4   Option Agreement. All Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall
               ----------------
be evidenced by an Option Agreement, to be executed by SBA and the Participant,
in such form or forms as the Committee shall determine. Option Agreements may
contain different provisions, provided, however, that all such Option Agreements
shall comply with all terms of the Plan.

         7.5   Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be fixed by the
               --------------
Committee and stated in each Option Agreement.

         7.6   Option Period.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.3, 7.13,
               -------------
7.14, 7.15 and 7.16, each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate and all
rights to purchase shares thereunder shall cease on the tenth (10th) anniversary
of the date such Option is granted, or on such date prior thereto as may be
fixed by the Committee and stated in the Option Agreement relating to such
Option.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may in its discretion, at
any time prior to the expiration or termination of any Option, extend the term
of any such Option for such additional period as the Committee in its discretion
may determine; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate option
period with respect to any Option, including the initial term of such Option and
any extensions thereof, exceed (10) years.

         7.7   Vesting.  Each Option Agreement will specify the vesting schedule
               -------
applicable to the Option granted thereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee may in its discretion provide that any vesting requirement or other
such limitation on the exercise of an Option may be rescinded, modified or
waived by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to
time after the date of grant of such Option, so as to accelerate the time at
which the Option may be exercised.

         7.8   Exercise.  An Option that is exercisable hereunder may be
               --------
exercised by delivery to SBA on any business day, at the office designated by
SBA, addressed to the attention of the Stock Option Administrator, of written
notice of exercise, which notice shall specify the number of shares with respect
to which the Option is being exercised, and shall be accompanied by payment in
full of the Exercise Price of the shares for which the Option is being
exercised, by one or more of the methods provided below.  The minimum number of
shares of Class A Common Stock with respect to which an

                                       6
<PAGE>

Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time shall be the lesser of
one hundred (100) shares or the maximum number of shares available for purchase
under the Option at the time of exercise.

          7.9    Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of Class
                 -------
A Common Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be made (i)
in cash or in cash equivalents; (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law
and agreed to by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, through the
tender to SBA of shares of Class A Common Stock, which shares shall be valued,
for purposes of determining the extent to which the Exercise Price has been paid
thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; (iii) to the extent
permitted by applicable law and agreed to by the Committee in its sole and
absolute discretion, by delivering a written direction to SBA that the Option be
exercised pursuant to a "cashless" exercise/sale procedure (pursuant to which
funds to pay for exercise of the Option are delivered to SBA by a broker upon
receipt of stock certificates from SBA) or a "cashless" exercise/loan procedure
(pursuant to which the Participants would obtain a margin loan from a broker to
fund the exercise) through a licensed broker acceptable to SBA whereby the stock
certificate or certificates for the shares of Class A Common Stock for which the
Option is exercised will be delivered to such broker as the agent for the
individual exercising the Option and the broker will deliver to SBA cash (or
cash equivalents acceptable to SBA) equal to the Exercise Price for the shares
of Class A Common Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option plus
the amount (if any) of federal and other taxes that SBA may, in its judgment, be
required to withhold with respect to the exercise of the Option; (iv) to the
extent permitted by applicable law and agreed to by the Committee in its sole
and absolute discretion, by the delivery of a promissory note of the Participant
to SBA on such terms as the Committee shall specify in its sole and absolute
discretion; or (v) by a combination of the methods described in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii) and (iv). Payment in full of the Exercise Price need not accompany
the written notice of exercise if the Option is exercised pursuant to the
"cashless" exercise/sale procedure described above. An attempt to exercise any
Option granted hereunder other than as set forth above shall be invalid and of
no force and effect.

          7.10   Issuance of Certificates.  Promptly after the exercise of an
                 ------------------------
Option, the individual exercising the Option shall be entitled to the issuance
of a certificate or certificates evidencing his ownership of such shares of
Class A Common Stock.  An individual holding or exercising an Option shall have
none of the rights of a stockholder until the shares of Class A Common Stock
covered thereby are fully paid and issued to him and, except as provided in
Section 11 below, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for
which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

          7.11   Use of Proceeds. The proceeds received by SBA from the sale of
                 ----------------
Class A Common Stock pursuant to Options granted under the Plan shall constitute
general funds of SBA.

          7.12   Transferability.  No Incentive Stock Option shall be assignable
                 ---------------
or transferable by the Participant to whom it is granted, other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution.  No Non-qualified Stock Option shall be
assignable or transferable by the Participant to whom it is granted, other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that Non-
qualified Stock Options may be transferred or assigned to (i) family members or
entities (including trusts) established for the benefit of the Participant or
the Participant's family members or (ii) any other person, as permitted by
applicable securities law.  Any Option assigned or transferred pursuant to this
Section 7.12 shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as
were applicable to the Option immediately before the transfer; provided,
however, than any Option transferred for value may not be exercised under any
Registration Statement on Form S-8 and upon exercise of such transferred Option
the holder would only be entitled to receive shares of restricted stock that
have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

          7.13 Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise provided in an Option
               -------------------------
Agreement, upon the termination of the employment or other service of a
Participant with the Company, other than by reason of Cause, death or
Disability, any Option granted to such Participant which has vested as of the

pursuant to Section 7.6 above, either subject to or without regard to any
vesting or other limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 7.7 above.

               -----------------------------------
employment or other service of a Participant with the Company for Cause, any
Option granted to the Participant shall expire immediately and the Participant
shall have no further right to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant
to such Options.  The Committee shall determine whether Cause exists for
purposes of this Plan.

          7.15 Termination of Employment by Disability.  Unless otherwise
               ---------------------------------------
provided in an Option Agreement, if a Participant terminates employment or
service with the Company by reason of a Disability of such Participant, the
Participant has the right, at any time within a period not to exceed one (1)
year after such termination and prior to the termination of the Option pursuant
to Section 7.6 above, to exercise, in whole or in part, any vested portion of
the Options held by the Participant on the date the Participant's employment or
service terminated.  Unless otherwise provided in an Option Agreement, if a
Participant terminates employment or service with SBA by reason of a Disability,
any unvested Options shall terminate.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 7.15, the Committee may provide, in its discretion, that following the
termination of employment or service of a Participant with the Company (for any
reason), a Participant may exercise an Option, in whole or in part, at any time
subsequent to such termination of employment or service and prior to termination

purchase Fifty Thousand (50,000) shares of Class A Common Stock

                                       8
<PAGE>

(subject to adjustments as provided in Section 11) on the date of such initial
election; provided, however, that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
subject to any Non-qualified Stock Option awarded under this Section 7.17.1
shall be reduced by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to any
option granted to an Independent Director pursuant to any other stock incentive
plan maintained by SBA.

               7.17.2   The Committee may make an annual grant of Non-qualified
Stock Options to all Independent Directors, in an amount to be determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion and subject to the applicable limitations of
the Plan; provided, however, that no Option shall be granted to an Independent
Director under this Section 7.17.2 during any year in which such Independent
Director received an Option pursuant to Section 7.17.1.

               7.17.3   In addition to any other grants made to Independent
Directors under this Section 7.17, the Committee may from time to time grant
Non-qualified Stock Options to any Independent Director, in its sole discretion,
and subject to the applicable limitations of the Plan.

               7.17.4   The price per share of the shares subject to each Option
granted to an Independent Director shall equal 100% of the Fair Market Value of
a share of Class A Common Stock on the date the option is granted.

               7.17.5   Subject to the provisions of this Section 7, (a) any
Option granted to an Independent Director pursuant to Section 7.17.1 shall vest
and become exercisable in cumulative annual installments of 20% each on the
first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date the Non-
qualified Stock Option was granted and (b) any other Options granted to an
Independent Director pursuant to Sections 7.17.2 or Sections 7.17.3 shall vest
and become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Option, as determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, any Option granted
to an Independent Director may in the sole discretion of the Committee vest and
become immediately exercisable in full upon the retirement of the Independent
Director in accordance with SBA's retirement policy applicable to directors.

               7.17.6   The term of any Non-qualified Stock Option granted to an
Independent Director shall be ten (10) years from the date the Option is
granted.

               7.17.7   No portion of an Option that is unexercisable upon a
termination of the Independent Director's services with SBA, for any reason,
shall thereafter become exercisable.

               7.17.8   Vested portions of any Options granted to an Independent
Director shall not be exercisable after the first to occur of the following
events:

               (i)   the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date of the
Independent Director's death or a termination of the Independent Director's
services with SBA by reason of a Disability;

Independent Director's services with SBA are terminated for any reason other
than death or Disability; or

               (iii) the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option
was granted.

     8.   RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

          8.1  Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the provisions of
               --------------------------------
the Plan, the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, prior to the
date of termination of the Plan, grant to

                                       9
<PAGE>

such Eligible Individuals as the Committee may determine, Restricted Stock
Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall be equivalent in value to one share of
Class A Common Stock. Each grant of Restricted Stock Units shall satisfy the
requirements as set forth in this Section 8.

          8.2  Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. All Restricted Stock Units
               --------------------------------
granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement, to be executed by SBA and the Participant, in such form or forms as
the Committee shall determine.  Each Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall
specify the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded to the Participant, the
applicable Restriction Periods and contain such provisions and restrictions (or
no restrictions) as the Committee shall deem appropriate on the date the
Restricted Stock Units are granted. Restricted Stock Unit Agreements may contain
different provisions; provided, however, that all such Restricted Stock Unit
Agreements must comply with all terms of the Plan.

          8.3  Restrictions.  The Committee shall impose such restrictions (or
               -------------
no restrictions) on any Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Plan as
it may deem advisable including, without limitation, vesting restrictions,
restrictions based upon the achievement of specific company-wide performance
goals, divisional performance goals, individual performance goals and/or
restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws.

          8.4  Payment.  Upon expiration of the Restriction Period applicable to
               -------
a Restricted Stock Unit, the Participant shall, without payment on his part, be
entitled to receive payment in an amount equal to the aggregate Fair Market
Value of the shares of Class A Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock
Units.  Such payment shall be made in the form of Class A Common Stock equal to
the number of Restricted Stock Units with respect to which such payment is made.

          8.5  Dividend Equivalents.  A Participant whose Restricted Stock Units
               --------------------
have not previously terminated shall be entitled to receive payment in an amount
equal to each cash dividend SBA would have paid to such Participant after the
grant of such Restricted Stock Units and prior to the lapse of restrictions
relating thereto as if the Participant had been the owner of record of the
shares of Class A Common Stock covered by such Restricted Stock Units on the
record date for the payment of such dividend and as if such Restricted Stock
Units were not subject to restrictions.  Payments of such dividend equivalent
shall be made on the payment date of the cash dividend with respect to which it
is made, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

          8.6  Issuance of Class A Common Stock Subject to Restrictions.  The
               --------------------------------------------------------
Committee may in its sole discretion cause the shares of Class A Common Stock
underlying any particular grant of Restricted Stock Units to be issued in the
Participant's name prior to lapse of restrictions thereon and treat such Class A
Common Stock as outstanding for all purposes.  The Participant shall have all
rights of a shareholder, including the right to receive dividends paid on the
shares of Class A Common Stock issued under this Section 8.6 and the right to
vote such shares, subject to any other restrictions set forth in the Plan.  In
addition, as security for the return of such Class A Common Stock in the event
of forfeiture, the Committee may require that the Participant pledge the shares
of such Class A Common Stock to SBA, and the certificates evidencing such Class
A Common Stock be retained by SBA until the restrictions relating thereto lapse.

          8.7  Transferability.  Unless otherwise provided in the Restricted
               ----------------
Stock Unit Agreement, Restricted Stock Units shall not be assignable or
transferable by the Participant to whom it is granted, other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that Restricted Stock Units
may be transferred or assigned to (i) family members or entities (including
trusts) established for the benefit of the Participant or the Participant's
family members or (ii) any other person, as permitted by applicable securities
law. Any Restricted Stock Unit assigned or transferred pursuant to this Section

                                       10
<PAGE>

7.12 shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were
applicable to the Restricted Stock Unit immediately before the transfer;
provided, however, upon maturity of any Restricted Stock Unit transferred for
value the Company may not issue shares of Class A Common Stock under any
Registration Statement on Form S-8 and the holder of such Restricted Stock Unit
would only be entitled to receive shares of restricted stock that have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

          8.8  Termination of Employment or Service.  Unless otherwise provided
               -------------------------------------
in a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, if the Participant's employment or service
with the Company terminates for any reason other than death or Disability during
the Restriction Period, all Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant which
are still subject to the Restriction Period shall be forfeited immediately;
provided, however, that in the event of a termination of the Participant's
employment, other than for Cause, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may
waive the automatic forfeiture of any or all such Restricted Stock Units.

          8.9  Termination of Employment or Service by Death or Disability.
               ------------------------------------------------------------
Unless otherwise provided in a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, if a
Participant's employment or service with the Company terminates by reason of
death or Disability, any remaining Restriction Period shall terminate and,
except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, the Participant shall receive
payment in accordance with Section 8.4.


     9.   STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

          9.1  Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights.  Subject to the terms of the
               ----------------------------------
Plan, any Option granted under the Plan may include a SAR, either at the time of
grant or by amendment except that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such
SAR shall be granted only at the time of grant of the related Option.  The
Committee may also award to Participants SARs independent of any Option.  A SAR
shall be subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as
the Committee shall impose

          9.2  Vesting. A SAR granted in connection with an Option shall become
               -------
exercisable, be transferable and shall lapse according to the same vesting
schedule, transferability and lapse rules that are established by the Committee
for the Option. A SAR granted independent of an Option shall become exercisable,
be transferable and shall lapse in accordance with a vesting schedule,
transferability and lapse rules established by the Committee. Notwithstanding
the above, a SAR shall not be exercisable by a person subject to Section 16(b)
of the Exchange Act for at least six (6) months following the date the SAR is
granted.

          9.3  Failure to Exercise.  If on the last day of the Option period (or
               -------------------
in the case of a SAR independent of an Option, the SAR period established by the
Committee), the Fair Market Value of the Stock exceeds the Exercise Price, the
Participant has not exercised the Option or SAR, and neither the Option nor the
SAR has lapsed, such SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised by the
Participant on such last day and the Company shall make the appropriate payment
therefor.

          9.4  Payment.  The amount of additional compensation which may be
               -------
received pursuant to the award of one SAR is the excess, if any, of the Fair
Market Value of one share of Class A Common Stock on the Appreciation Date over
the Exercise Price, in the case of a SAR granted in connection with an Option,
or the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Class A Common Stock on the date
the SAR is granted, in the case of a SAR granted independent of an Option.  The
Company shall pay such excess in cash, in shares of Class A Common Stock valued
at Fair Market Value, or any combination thereof, as determined by the
Committee. Fractional shares shall be settled in cash.

                                       11
<PAGE>

          9.5  Designation of Appreciation Date.  A Participant may designate an
               --------------------------------
Appreciation Date at such time or times as may be determined by the Committee at
the time of grant by filing an irrevocable written notice with the Committee or
its designee, specifying the number of SARs to which the Appreciation Date
relates, and the date on which such SARs were awarded. Such time or times
determined by the Committee may take into account any applicable "window
periods" required by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

          9.6  Expiration.  Except as otherwise provided in the case of SARs
               ----------
granted in connection with Options, the SARs shall expire on a date designated
by the Committee which is not later than ten (10) years after the date on which
the SAR was awarded.

     10.  OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS

     Awards of shares of Class A Common Stock, stock appreciation rights,
phantom stock and other awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference
to, or otherwise based on, Class A Common Stock, may also be made, from time to
time, to Eligible Individuals as may be selected by the Committee.  Such awards
may be made alone or in addition to or in connection with any Option, Restricted
Stock Unit or any other award granted hereunder.  The Committee may determine
the terms and conditions of any such award.  Each award shall be evidenced by an
agreement between the Eligible Individual and SBA which shall specify the number
of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to the award, any consideration
therefor, any vesting or performance requirements and such other terms and
conditions as the Committee shall determine.

     11.  RECAPITALIZATION, CHANGE IN CONTROL AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS

          11.1 Recapitalization.  If the outstanding shares of Class A Common
               ----------------
Stock are increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares or other securities of SBA by reason of any
recapitalization, or reclassification, stock split, reverse split, combination
of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution payable in
capital stock of SBA or other increase or decrease in such shares effected
without receipt of consideration by SBA occurring after the Effective Date, a
corresponding appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made by the
Committee (i) in the aggregate number and kind of shares of Class A Common Stock
available under the Plan, (ii) in the number and kind of shares of Class A
Common Stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of an outstanding Award or upon
termination of the Restriction Period applicable to a Restricted Stock Unit
granted under the Plan, and (iii) in the Exercise Price  per share of
outstanding Options granted under the Plan.

          11.2 Reorganization.  Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement,
               --------------
in the event of a Reorganization of SBA, the Committee may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, provide on a case-by-case basis that some or all
outstanding Awards shall become immediately exercisable, vested or entitled to
payment.  In the event of a Reorganization of SBA the Committee may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, provide on a case-by-case basis that Options shall
terminate upon the Reorganization, provided however, that Optionee shall have
the right, immediately prior to the occurrence of such Reorganization and during
such reasonable period as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine
and designate, to exercise any vested Option in whole or in part.  In the event
that the Committee does not terminate an Option upon a Reorganization of SBA
then each outstanding Option shall upon exercise thereafter entitle the holder
thereof to such number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities or
property to which a holder of shares of Class A Common Stock would have been
entitled to upon such Reorganization.

          11.3 Change in Control.
               -----------------

               11.3.1   In the event of a Change in Control, notwithstanding any
vesting schedule provided for hereunder or by the Committee with respect to any
Award, such Award shall become immediately vested and, to the extent applicable,
exercisable for such period of time specified in the Award Agreement with
respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject to such Award.

               11.3.2   In the event of a Change in Control, all incomplete
Award Periods in effect on the date the Change in Control occurs shall end on
the date of such change, and the Committee shall, (i) determine the extent to
which Performance Criteria with respect to each such Award Period have been met
based upon such audited or unaudited financial information then available as it
deems relevant, (ii) cause to be paid to each Participant partial or full Awards
with respect to Performance Criteria for each such Award Period based upon the
Committee's determination of the degree of attainment of Performance Criteria,
and (iii) cause all previously deferred Awards to be settled in full as soon as
possible.

               11.3.3   The obligations of SBA under the Plan shall be binding
upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of SBA, or upon any successor corporation
or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of
SBA.  The Company agrees that it will make appropriate provisions for the
preservation of Participant's rights under the Plan in any agreement or plan
which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such merger, consolidation,
reorganization or transfer of assets.

          11.4 Change in Status of a Subsidiary.  Unless otherwise provided in
               --------------------------------
an Award Agreement, in the event that a subsidiary of SBA ceases to be a
subsidiary whose financial statements are consolidated with the financial
statements of SBA in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, on a case-by-case basis
(i) provide that some or all outstanding Awards held by a Participant employed
by or performing service for such subsidiary may become immediately exercisable,
vested or entitled to payment or (ii) treat the Award as terminated, in which
case the Participant shall no longer be entitled to exercise or payment of the
Award in accordance with the Plan, but only if such Participant is not employed
by SBA or any subsidiary immediately after such event.

          11.5 Adjustments.  Adjustments under this Section 11 related to stock
               -----------
or securities of SBA shall be made by the Committee whose determination in that
respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive.  No fractional shares of Class
A Common Stock or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such
adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share or unit.

          11.6 No Limitations.  The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall
               --------------
not affect or limit in any way the right or power of SBA to make adjustments,
reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

     12.  REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

          12.1 Violations of Law.  The Company shall not be required to sell or
               -----------------
issue any shares of Class A Common Stock under any Award if the sale or issuance
of such shares would constitute a violation by the individual holding the Award,
the Participant or the Company of any provisions of any law or regulation of any
governmental authority, including without limitation any federal or state
securities laws or regulations.  Any determination in this connection by the
Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive.  The Company shall not be
obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercisability or
vesting of an Option, the exercise of an Option or the issuance of shares
pursuant to the exercise of an Option or expiration of a Restriction Period to
comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.

          12.2 Registration.  At the time of any exercise of any Option or
               ------------
receipt of Class A Common Stock pursuant to an Award, SBA may, if it shall
determine it necessary or desirable for any reason, require the Participant (or
Participant's heirs, legatees or legal representative, as the case may be), as a
condition to the exercise or grant thereof, to deliver to SBA a written
representation of present intention to hold the shares for their own account as
an investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the
distribution of such shares, except in compliance with applicable federal and
state securities laws with respect thereto.  In the event such representation is
required to be delivered, an appropriate legend may be placed upon each
certificate delivered to the Participant (or Participant's heirs, legatees or
legal representative, as the case may be) upon his or her exercise of part or
all of the Option or receipt of Class A Common Stock and a stop transfer order
may be placed with the transfer agent.  Each Award shall also be subject to the
requirement that, if at any time SBA determines, in its discretion, that the
listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to the Award upon
any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, 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 the shares
thereunder, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part and the Class A
Common Stock may not be issued unless such listing, registration, qualification,
consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions
not acceptable to SBA in its sole discretion.

          12.3 Withholding.  The Committee may make such provisions and take
               -----------
such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any
taxes that the Company is required by any law or regulation of any governmental
authority, whether federal, state or local, domestic or foreign, to withhold in
connection with the exercise of any Option or the grant of Class A Common Stock
pursuant to an Award, including, but not limited to: (i) the withholding of
delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock until the holder reimburses the
Company for the amount the Company is required to withhold with respect to such
taxes, (ii) the canceling of any number of shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable in an amount sufficient to reimburse the Company for the amount it is
required to so withhold, (iii) withholding the amount due from any such person's
wages or compensation due to such person, or (iv) requiring the Participant to
pay the Company cash in the amount the Company is required to withhold with
respect to such taxes.

          12.4 Section 16 Persons.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the
               ------------------
Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any individual who is then
subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional
limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the
Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that
are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule.  To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder
shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable
exemptive rule.

          12.5 Governing Law.  This Plan shall be governed by, and construed and
               -------------
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida.

     13.  AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

     The Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or
terminate the Plan as to any shares of Class A Common Stock as to which Awards
have not been granted; provided, however, that the approval by a majority of the
votes present and entitled to vote at a duly held meeting of the shareholders of
SBA at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding voting stock
is, either in person or by proxy, present and voting on the amendment, or by
written consent in accordance with applicable state law and the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of SBA shall be required for any amendment (i) that
changes the requirements as to Eligible Individuals to receive Awards under the
Plan, (ii) that increases the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock
in the aggregate that may subject to Awards that are granted under the Plan
(except as permitted under Section 11 hereof), or (iii) if approval of such
amendment is necessary to comply with federal or state law (including without
limitation Section 162(m) of the Code and Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) or
with the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the
Class A Common Stock may be listed or traded.  Except as permitted under Section
11 hereof, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without
the consent of the holder of an Award, alter or impair rights or obligations
under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan.

     14.  PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO COVERED EMPLOYEES

          14.1 Awards.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary,
               ------
the Committee may grant any Award to a Covered Employee.  The Committee, in its
discretion, may determine whether an Award is to qualify as performance-based
compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code.  To the extent
necessary to comply with the performance-based compensation requirements of
Section 162 (m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any Award granted pursuant to
the Plan which may be granted to one or more Covered Employees, no later than
ninety (90) days following the commencement of any fiscal year in question or
any other designated fiscal period or period of service (or such other time as
may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall,
in writing, (i) designate one or more Covered Employees, (ii) select the
Performance Criteria applicable to the fiscal year or other designated fiscal
period or period of service, (iii) establish the various performance targets, in
terms of an objective formula or standard, and amounts of such Awards, as
applicable, which may be earned for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal
period or period of service and (iv) specify the relationship between
Performance Criteria and the performance targets and the amounts of such Awards,
as applicable, to be earned by each Covered Employee for such fiscal year or
other designated fiscal period or period of service.  Following the completion
of each fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service, the
Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable performance targets
have been achieved for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or
period of service.  In determining the amount earned by a Covered Employee, the
Committee shall have the right to reduce (but not to increase) the amount
payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors
that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or
corporate performance for the fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or
period of service.

          14.2 Limitations.  Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of
               -----------
the Plan or any Award which granted to a Covered Employee and is intended to
qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C)
of the Code shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section
162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m) of the Code) or
any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are requirements for
qualification as

                                       15
<PAGE>

performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code,
and the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such
requirements.

          14.3 Maximum Awards.  The maximum number of shares of Class A Common
               --------------
Stock that may be granted during any calendar year to a Covered Employee shall
be Five Hundred Thousand (500,000).

     15.  OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

     The Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose such restrictions on the
ownership and transferability of the shares purchasable upon the exercise of an
Option at its deems appropriate.  Any such restriction shall be set forth in the
respective Award Agreement and may be referred to on the certificates evidencing
such shares.  The holder shall give SBA prompt notice of any disposition of
shares of Class A Common Stock acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option
within (a) two years from the date of granting (including the date the Option is
modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code) such
Option to such holder or (b) one year after the transfer of such shares to such
holder.

     16.  SBA'S RIGHT TO PURCHASE OPTION STOCK AND VESTED SHARES

     SBA shall have the right to repurchase any Award Shares issued pursuant to
an Award Agreement following the termination of the employment or service of the
holder of the Award Shares with SBA for any reason.  The price for repurchasing
the Award Shares shall be paid in cash and shall be equal to the Fair Market
Value of such shares.  Should SBA fail to exercise such repurchase right within
ninety (90) days following the later of (i) the Award holder's termination of
employment or service or (ii) the date the Class A Common Stock was issued, SBA
shall be deemed to have waived such right.

     17.  DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS

     No provision in the Plan, any Award granted or any Award Agreement entered
