also assist the Company and its subsidiaries in attracting and retaining key

         3.      ADMINISTRATION.  This Plan will be administered by the
Committee.  The Committee has the exclusive power to select the Recipients of
Options pursuant to this Plan, to establish the terms of the Options granted to
each Recipient, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable
under the Plan.  The Committee has the sole and absolute discretion to
determine whether the performance of an Eligible Person warrants an Option
under this Plan, and to determine the size and type of the Option.  The
Committee has full and exclusive power to construe and interpret this Plan, to
prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan, and
to take all actions necessary or advisable for the Plan's administration.  The
Committee, in the exercise of its powers, may correct any defect or supply any
omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, or in any Agreement, in
the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the
Plan fully effective.  In exercising this power, the Committee may retain
counsel at the expense of the Company.  The Committee shall also have the power
to determine the duration and purposes of leaves of absence which may be
granted to a Recipient without constituting a termination of the Recipient's
employment for purposes of the Plan.  Any determinations made by the Committee
will be final and binding on all persons.  A member of the Committee will not
be liable for performing any act or making any determination in good faith.

         4.      SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN.  Subject to the provisions of Section
10 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be subject to
Options under the Plan shall be 1,000,000.  If an Option should expire or
become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised, the
unpurchased Shares that were subject to such Option shall, unless the Plan has
then terminated, be available for other Options under the Plan.

         5.      ELIGIBILITY.  Any Eligible Person that the Committee in its
sole discretion designates is eligible to receive an Option under this Plan.
The Committee's grant of an Option to a Recipient in any year does not require
the Committee to grant an Option such Recipient in any other year.
Furthermore, the Committee may grant different Options to different Recipients
and has full discretion to choose whether to grant Options to any Eligible
Person.  The Committee may consider such factors as it deems pertinent in
selecting Recipients and in determining the types and sizes of their Options,
including, without limitation, (i) the financial condition of the Company or
its Subsidiaries; (ii) expected profits for the current or future years; (iii)
the contributions of a prospective Recipient to the profitability and success
of the Company or its Subsidiaries; and (iv) the adequacy of the prospective
Recipient's other compensation.  Recipients may include persons to whom stock,
stock options, stock appreciation rights, or other benefits previously were
granted under this or another plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, whether or
not the previously granted benefits have been fully exercised or vested.  A
Recipient's right, if any, to continue to serve the Company and 




                                       3
<PAGE>   4

its Subsidiaries as an officer, Employee, or otherwise will not be enlarged or
otherwise affected by his designation as a Recipient under this Plan, and such
designation will not in any way restrict the right of the Company or any
Subsidiary, as the case may be, to terminate at any time the employment or
affiliation of any participant.

         6.      OPTIONS.  Each Option granted to a Recipient under the Plan
shall contain such provisions as the Committee at the Date of Grant shall deem
appropriate.  Each Option granted to a Recipient will satisfy the following
requirements:

                 (a)      WRITTEN AGREEMENT.  Each Option granted to a
Recipient will be evidenced by an Option Agreement.  The terms of the Option
Agreement need not be identical for different Recipients.  The Option Agreement
shall include a description of the substance of each of the requirements in
this Section 6 with respect to that particular Option.

                 (b)      NUMBER OF SHARES.  Each Option Agreement shall
specify the number of Shares that may be purchased by exercise of the Option.

                 (c)      EXERCISE PRICE.  Except as provided in Section 6(l),
the exercise price of each Share subject to an Incentive Stock Option shall
equal the exercise price designated by the Committee on the Date of Grant, but
shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Share on the Incentive
Stock Option's Date of Grant.  The exercise price of each Share subject to a
Nonqualified Stock Option shall equal the exercise price designated by the
Committee on the Date of Grant.

                 (d)      DURATION OF OPTION.  Except as provided in Section
6(l), an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee shall expire on the
tenth anniversary of its Date of Grant or, at such earlier date as is set by
the Committee in establishing the terms of the Incentive Stock Option at grant.
Except as provided in Section 6(l), a Nonqualified Stock Option granted to an
Employee shall expire on the tenth anniversary of its Date of Grant or, at such
earlier or later date as is set by the Committee in establishing the terms of
the Nonqualified Stock Option at grant.  If the Recipient's employment with the
Company terminates before the expiration date of an Option granted to the
Recipient, the Option shall expire on the earlier of the date stated in this
subsection or the date stated in following subsections of this Section.
Furthermore, expiration of an Option may be accelerated under subsection (j)
below.

                 (e)      VESTING OF OPTION.  Each Option Agreement shall
specify the vesting schedule applicable to the Option.  The Committee, in its
sole and absolute discretion, may accelerate the vesting of any Option at any
time.

                 (f)      DEATH.  In the case of the death of a Recipient, an
Incentive Stock Option granted to the Recipient shall expire on the one-year
anniversary of the Recipient's death, or if earlier, the date specified in
subsection (d) above.  During the one-year period following the Recipient's
death, the Incentive Stock Option may be exercised to the extent it could have
been exercised at the time the Recipient died, subject to any adjustment under
Section 10 herein.  In the case of the death 




                                       4
<PAGE>   5

of a Recipient, a  Nonqualified Stock Option granted to the Recipient shall
expire on the one-year anniversary of the Recipient's death, or if earlier, the
date specified in subsection (d) above, unless the Committee sets an earlier or
later expiration date in establishing the terms of the Nonqualified Stock
Option at grant or a later expiration date subsequent to the Date of Grant but
prior to the one-year anniversary of the Recipient's death.  During the period
beginning on the date of the Recipient's death and ending on the date the
Nonqualified Stock Option expires, the Nonqualified Stock Option may be
exercised to the extent it could have been exercised at the time the Recipient
died, subject to any adjustment under Section 10 herein.

                 (g)      DISABILITY.  In the case of the total and permanent
disability of a Recipient and a resulting termination of employment or
affiliation with the Company, an Incentive Stock Option granted to the
Recipient shall expire on the one-year anniversary of the Recipient's last day
of employment, or, if earlier, the date specified in subsection (d) above.
During the one-year period following the Recipient's termination of employment
or affiliation by reason of disability, the Incentive Stock Option may be
exercised as to the number of Shares for which it could have been exercised at
the time the Recipient became disabled, subject to any adjustments under
Section 10 herein.  In the case of the total and permanent disability of a
Recipient and a resulting termination of employment or affiliation with the
Company, a Nonqualified Stock Option granted to the Recipient shall expire on
the one-year anniversary of the Recipient's last day of employment, or, if
earlier, the date specified in subsection (d) above, unless the Committee sets
an earlier or later expiration date in establishing the terms of the
Nonqualified Stock Option at grant or a later expiration date subsequent to the
Date of Grant but prior to the one-year anniversary of the Recipient's last day
of employment or affiliation with the Company.  During the period beginning on
the date of the Recipient's termination of employment or affiliation by reason
of disability and ending on the date the Nonqualified Stock Option expires, the
Nonqualified Stock Option may be exercised as to the number of Shares for which
it could have been exercised at the time the Recipient became disabled, subject
to any adjustments under Section 10 herein.

                 (h)      RETIREMENT.  If the Recipient's employment with the
Company terminates by reason of normal retirement under the Company's normal
retirement policies, an Incentive Stock Option granted to the Recipient will
expire 90 days after the last day of employment, or, if earlier, on the date
specified in subsection (d) above.  During the 90-day period following the
Recipient's normal retirement, the Incentive Stock Option may be exercised as
to the number of Shares for which it could have been exercised on the
retirement date, subject to any adjustment under Section 10 herein.  If the
Recipient's employment with the Company terminates by reason of normal
retirement under the Company's normal retirement policies, a Nonqualified Stock
Option granted to the Recipient will expire 90 days after the last day of
employment, or, if earlier, on the date specified in subsection (d) above,
unless the Committee sets an earlier or later expiration date in establishing
the terms of the Nonqualified Stock Option at grant or a later expiration date
subsequent to the Date of Grant but prior to the end of the 90-day period
following the Recipient's normal retirement.  During the period beginning on
the date of the Recipient's normal retirement and ending on the date the
Nonqualified Stock Option expires, the Nonqualified Stock Option may be
exercised as to the number





                                       5
<PAGE>   6

of Shares for which it could have been exercised on the retirement date,
subject to any adjustment under Section 10 herein.

                 (i)      TERMINATION OF SERVICE.  If the Recipient ceases
employment or affiliation with the Company for any reason other than death,
disability, or retirement (as described above), an Option granted to the
Recipient shall lapse immediately following the last day that the Recipient is
employed by or affiliated with the Company.  However, the Committee may, in its
sole discretion, either at grant of the Option or at the time the Recipient
terminates employment, delay the expiration date of the Option to a date after
termination of employment; provided, however, that the expiration date of an
Incentive Stock Option may not be delayed more than 90 days following the
termination of the Recipient's employment or affiliation with the Company.
During any such delay of the expiration date, the Option may be exercised only
for the number of Shares for which it could have been exercised on such
termination date, subject to any adjustment under Section 10 herein.
Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in the Plan, if the
Recipient shall (i) commit any act of malfeasance or wrongdoing affecting the
Company or any parent or subsidiary, (ii) breach any covenant not to compete or
employment agreement with the Company or any parent or Subsidiary, or (iii)
engage in conduct that would warrant the Recipient's discharge for cause, any
unexercised part of the Option shall lapse immediately upon the earlier of the
occurrence of such event or the last day the Recipient is employed by the
Company.

                 (j)      CHANGE OF CONTROL.  If a Change of Control occurs,
the Board may vote to immediately terminate all Options outstanding under the
Plan as of the date of the Change of Control or may vote to accelerate the
expiration of the Options to the tenth day after the effective date of the
Change of Control.  If the Board votes to immediately terminate the Options, it
shall make a cash payment to the Recipient equal to the difference between the
Exercise Price and the Fair Market Value of the Shares that would have been
subject to the terminated Option on the date of the Change of Control.

                 (k)      CONDITIONS REQUIRED FOR EXERCISE.  Options granted to
Recipients under the Plan shall be exercisable only to the extent they are
vested according to the terms of the Option Agreement.  Furthermore, Options
granted to Employees under the Plan shall be exercisable only if the issuance
of Shares pursuant to the exercise would be in compliance with applicable
securities laws, as contemplated by Section 9 of the Plan.  Each Agreement
shall specify any additional conditions required for the exercise of the
Option.

                 (l)      TEN PERCENT SHAREHOLDERS.  An Incentive Stock Option
granted to an individual who, on the Date of Grant, owns stock possessing more
than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of
either the Company or any parent or Subsidiary, shall be granted at an exercise
price of 110 percent of Fair Market Value on the Date of Grant and shall be
exercisable only during the five-year period immediately following the Date of
Grant.  In calculating stock ownership of any person, the attribution rules of
Code Section 424(d) and 318 will apply.  Furthermore, in calculating stock
ownership, any stock that the individual may purchase under outstanding options
will not be considered.





                                       6
<PAGE>   7

                 (m)      MAXIMUM OPTION GRANTS.  The aggregate Fair Market
Value, determined on the Date of Grant, of stock in the Company with respect to
which any Incentive Stock Options under the Plan and all other plans of the
Company or its Subsidiaries (within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code)
may become exercisable by any individual for the first time in any calendar
year shall not exceed $100,000.

                 (n)      METHOD OF EXERCISE.  An Option granted under this
Plan shall be deemed exercised when the person entitled to exercise the Option
(i) delivers written notice to the President of the Company (or his delegate,
in his absence) of the decision to exercise, (ii) concurrently tenders to the
Company full payment for the Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise,
and (iii) complies with such other reasonable requirements as the Committee
establishes pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan.  Payment for Shares with respect
to which an Option is exercised may be made in cash, or by certified check or
wholly or partially in the form of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value
equal to the exercise price.  No person will have the rights of a shareholder
with respect to Shares subject to an Option granted under this Plan until a
certificate or certificates for the Shares have been delivered to him.  A
partial exercise of an Option will not affect the holder's right to exercise
the Option from time to time in accordance with this Plan as to the remaining
Shares subject to the Option.

                 (o)      LOAN FROM COMPANY TO EXERCISE OPTION.  The Committee
may, in its discretion and subject to the requirements of applicable law,
recommend to the Company that it lend the Recipient the funds needed by the
Recipient to exercise an Option.  The Recipient shall make application to the
Company for the loan, completing the forms and providing the information
required by the Company.  The loan shall be secured by such collateral as the
Company may require, subject to its underwriting requirements and the
requirements of applicable law.  The Recipient shall execute a Promissory Note
and any other documents deemed necessary by the Committee.

                 (p)      DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.  Each Recipient shall
designate, in the Option Agreement he executes, a beneficiary to receive
Options awarded hereunder in the event of his death prior to full exercise of
such Options; provided, that if no such beneficiary is designated or if the
beneficiary so designated does not survive the Recipient, the estate of such
Recipient shall be deemed to be his beneficiary.  Recipients may, by written
notice to the Committee, change the beneficiary designated in any outstanding
Option Agreements.

                 (q)  NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION.  An Option granted under
this Plan is not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.  During the lifetime of the Recipient, all rights of the Option
are exercisable only by the Recipient.

         7.      TAXES; COMPLIANCE WITH LAW; APPROVAL OF REGULATORY BODIES;
LEGENDS.  The Company shall have the right to withhold from payments otherwise
due and owing to the Recipient (or his beneficiary) or to require the Recipient
(or his beneficiary) to remit to the Company in cash upon demand an amount
sufficient to satisfy any federal (including FICA and FUTA amounts), state,




                                       7
<PAGE>   8

and/or local withholding tax requirements at the time the Recipient (or his
beneficiary) recognizes income for federal, state, and/or local tax purposes
with respect to any Option under this Plan.

         Options can be granted, and Shares can be delivered under this Plan,
only in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations
and the rules of all stock exchanges on which the Company's stock is listed at
any time.  An Option is exercisable only if either (a) a registration statement
pertaining to the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option has been
filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and
remains effective on the date of exercise, or (b) an exemption from the
registration requirements of applicable securities laws is available.  This
Plan does not require the Company, however, to file such a registration
statement or to assure the availability of such exemptions.  Any certificate
issued to evidence Shares issued under the Plan may bear such legends and
statements, and shall be subject to such transfer restrictions, as the
Committee deems advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and
regulations and with the requirements of this Section.  No Option may be
exercised, and Shares may not be issued under this Plan, until the Company has
obtained the consent or approval of every regulatory body, federal or state,
having jurisdiction over such matters as the Committee deems advisable.

         Each person who acquires the right to exercise an Option may be
required by the Committee to furnish reasonable evidence of ownership of the
Option as a condition to his exercise of the Option.  In addition, the
Committee may require such consents and releases of taxing authorities as the
Committee deems advisable.

         With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), transactions under this Plan are intended to
comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the 1934 Act, as such
Rule may be amended from time to time, or its successor under the 1934 Act.  To
the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Plan administrators fails
to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law
and deemed advisable by the Plan administrators.

         8.      ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE OF SHARES.  If a reorganization,
merger, consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization, combination or
exchange of shares, stock split, stock dividend, rights offering, or other
expansion or contraction of the Common Stock of the Company occurs, the number
and class of Shares for which Options are authorized to be granted under this
Plan, the number and class of Shares then subject to Options previously granted
to Employees under this Plan, and the price per Share payable upon exercise of
each Option outstanding under this Plan shall be equitably adjusted by the
Committee to reflect such changes.  To the extent deemed equitable and
appropriate by the Board, subject to any required action by shareholders, in
any merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution, any
Option granted under the Plan shall pertain to the securities and other
property to which a holder of the number of Shares of stock covered by the
Option would have been entitled to receive in connection with such event.





                                       8
<PAGE>   9


         9.      LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY.  The Company, its parent and any
Subsidiary that is in existence or hereafter comes into existence shall not be
liable to any person for any tax consequences incurred by a Recipient or other
person with respect to an Option.

         10.     AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN.  The Board may alter,
amend, or terminate this Plan from time to time without approval of the
shareholders of the Company.  The Board may, however, condition any amendment
on the approval of the shareholders of the Company if such approval is
necessary or advisable with respect to tax, securities or other applicable laws
to which the Company, the Plan, Recipients or Eligible Persons are subject.

         Any amendment, whether with or without the approval of shareholders of
the Company, that alters the terms or provisions of an Option granted before
the amendment (unless the alteration is expressly permitted under this Plan)
will be effective only with the consent of the Recipient to whom the Option was
granted or the holder currently entitled to exercise it.

         11.     EXPENSES OF PLAN.  The Company shall bear the expenses of 
administering the Plan.

         12.     DURATION OF PLAN.  Options may be granted under this Plan only
during the 10 years immediately following the effective date of this Plan.

         13.     APPLICABLE LAW.  The validity, interpretation, and enforcement
of this Plan are governed in all respects by the laws of Florida and the United
States of America.

         14.     EFFECTIVE DATE.  The effective date of this Plan shall be the
earlier of (i) the date on which the Board adopts the Plan or (ii) the date on
which the Shareholders approve the Plan.  Adopted by the Board of Directors on
March 4, 1997.

Approved by the Shareholders on
