         5. EARLY TERMINATION.

                  5.1 TERMINATION UPON PERMANENT DISABILITY OR DEATH. This
Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the permanent disability or death
of Employee, subject to the obligation of the Company to pay Employee or
Employee's personal representative or designated beneficiary, as the case may
be, (i) the balance of Employee's salary and other benefits for the remainder of
the month in which disability or death occurs, (ii) a pro rata portion of any
bonus to which Employee was otherwise entitled under Section 2.2 based upon the
ratio the number of months employed (calculated through the end of the then
current month) bears to the bonus period of twelve (12) months and (iii) any
other disability benefits described in this Section 5.1 to which Employee may be
entitled. The Company will continue to pay Employee his regular salary during
any period during which Employee is incapable of continuing the further
performance of Employee's normal employment activities with the Company because
of a mental, emotional or physical injury, sickness or disorder. However, when
such period exceeds an aggregate of sixty (60) business days (exclusive of any


<PAGE>

accrued vacation within the limits set forth above) out of any three hundred
sixty-five (365) consecutive calendar days, Employee shall be deemed permanently
disabled. Employee shall also be deemed permanently disabled if so certified by
any two physicians, or upon the expiration of any elimination period under any
disability insurance policy purchased by the Company for the benefit of
Employee. Should Employee become permanently disabled, Employee or his personal
representative shall be entitled to receive his termination compensation, as
well as any disability benefits maintained for Employee by the Company, if any,
pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of any such applicable
disability benefit program or policy.

                  5.2 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. During the Term of Employment, the
Company may at any time, without giving notice to Employee, immediately
terminate this Agreement if Employee (a) commits any act of embezzlement, theft,
fraud or dishonesty; (b) engages in unfair competition with the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company whether or not wholly-owned; (c) is convicted of any
felony; (d) breaches any material provision of the Confidentiality Agreement
entered into by Employee pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement; (e) uses
illegal drugs or other substances or (f) willfully breaches any other material
provision of this Agreement. If Employee materially breaches or habitually
neglects or fails in any material way to perform the usual and customary duties
of his job, or any other duties required to be performed under the terms of this
Agreement, or the policies of the Company, the Company may, at its option,
terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Employee.
Any termination pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences shall be
without prejudice to any other remedy to which the Company may be entitled
either at law, in equity, or under this Agreement. Before the Company may
terminate this Agreement by reason of Employee's habitual neglect of or failure
to perform the usual and customary duties of his job or policies of the Company,
the Company must first notify Employee in writing, setting forth in detail those
duties and/or policies which Employee has habitually neglected or failed to
perform, and provide Employee a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty
(30) days, in which to cure such neglect or failure. If Employee does not cure
the specified areas of neglect of failure, the Company may terminate this
Agreement immediately by giving Employee written notice. At the time of any
termination for cause, Employee shall be entitled to receive any salary and
employment benefits which shall have accrued prior to the date of termination,
but shall not be entitled to any bonus or severance payments, salary or
employment benefits relating to periods subsequent to the date of termination,
subject to Employee's rights to continue medical and dental coverage under the
Company's group policy, at Employee's expense, as may be provided by law.

                  5.3 TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE. This Agreement may be terminated
by Employee for any reason, or no reason, by giving thirty (30) days' written
notice of termination to the Company. Upon termination by Employee, all rights
accruing to Employee under the terms of this Agreement shall cease, and Employee
shall not be entitled to any bonus or severance payments, salary or employment
benefits, except to the extent earned and accrued prior to the termination date,
and subject to Employee's rights to continue medical and dental coverage under
the Company's group policy, at Employee's expense, as may be provided by law.

                  5.4 TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. Employee's employment with the
Company during the Term of Employment may be terminated by the Company at any
time without cause, by the Company's giving fifteen (15) days prior written
notice. A termination without cause, for purposes of this Agreement, means
termination by the Company other than as provided for in Sections 5.1 and 5.2.

                  5.5 SEVERANCE PAYMENTS. If Employee is terminated pursuant to
Section 5.4, Employee shall be entitled to severance pay in accordance with the
Company's normal payroll practices at the rate of Employee's salary for such
year set forth in Section 2.1 for a period of six (6) months if Employee is
terminated pursuant to Section 5.4 during the first twelve months of employment,
or for a period of three (3) months if Employee is terminated pursuant to
Section 5.4 during the second twelve (12) months of employment, following
termination together with the Incentive Plan earned bonus for such year, if any,
described in Section 2.2 pro rated to the date of termination. All pro rated
bonuses shall be payable only at the discretion of the President or Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and shall reflect Employee's performance to the
date of termination. All severance pay shall be payable in equal consecutive
monthly installments on the last day of each month following the effective date
of Employee's termination for the number of months of severance pay to which
Employee is entitled hereunder. Any pro rata bonus shall be payable on the
effective date of termination of employment. Employee understands and agrees
that such payments shall be his only entitlement as and for severance pay or
severance compensation. Upon termination pursuant to Section 5.4, except for the
severance payments stated above, all rights and obligations accruing to Employee
under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise shall cease, and Employee shall
not be entitled to any further salary or employment benefits, except to the
extent earned and accrued prior to such date, and subject to Employee's rights
to continue medical and dental coverage under the Company's group policy, at
Employee's expense, as may be provided by law.

         6. NONDISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, Employee agrees to enter into the
Company's Confidentiality Agreement for senior executive officers of the Company
in the form attached as EXHIBIT C (the "CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT"). In the
event of any inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Agreement
and those of the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall prevail.

         7. NON-COMPETITION.

                  7.1 AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE. Employee agrees that during the
Term of Employment and for the period thereafter specified in the next sentence,
Employee will not engage, directly or indirectly, either as principal, agent,
consultant, proprietor, stockholder, director, officer or Employee, or
participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any other
business engaged in the type of business conducted by the Company. Such
agreement not to compete shall extend after the date of termination for one year
if employee voluntarily terminates his employment and for a period of six (6)
months if the Company involuntarily terminates Employee's employment. This
Section 7.1 shall not apply to Employee's ownership of less than one percent
(1%) of the capital stock of any corporation having a class of capital stock
which is traded on any national stock exchange or in the over-the-counter
market.

                  7.2 SOLICITATION. During the Term of Employment, and for the
period of two (2) years thereafter, Employee agrees that he will not, without
the Company's prior written consent, solicit or encourage any of the employees
of the Company or Fischer International Systems Corporation ("FISC") to leave
the employ of the Company or FISC, or terminate or alter their contractual
relationships in a way that is adverse to the Company's or FISC's interest or,
during the period of Employee's employment, solicit business from any

succeeding breach or default.

                  8.6 NO WAIVER. The failure of any party to enforce any of the

                             SMARTDISK CORPORATION
                  EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
                           (Exercisable Immediately)
                        (Exercise Price Payable by Note)
                         (Change of Control Provisions)
                               (Non-Transferable)

         THIS EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), by and
between SmartDisk Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
Quresh Sachee (the "Employee"), is made as of the 4th day of May, 1998 (such
date being sometimes referred to herein as the 'Date of Grantll).

                                    RECITALS

         A. The Company has adopted and implemented its 1998 Employee Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan") permitting the grant of stock options to employees of
the Company and its subsidiary corporations (as defined in the Plan), some of
which are intended to be incentive stock options within the meaning of Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Internal Revenue
Codell), to purchase shares of the authorized but unissued Common stock or
treasury shares of the Company ("Common Stock").

         B. The Board of Directors (or a duly authorized Committee thereof) of
the Company (in either case, referred to herein as the "Board") has authorized
the granting of a stock option to the Employee, thereby allowing the Employee to
acquire an ownership interest (or increase his or her ownership interest) in the
Company.

                                    AGREEMENT

         NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance on the foregoing Recitals and in
consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby
agree as follows:

         1. Grant of Stock Option. The Company hereby grants to the Employee a
non-transferable and non- assignable option to purchase an aggregate of up to
one hundred twenty thousand (120,000) shares of the Company's Common Stock, par
value $0.001, at the exercise price of tv~enty-five cents ($0.25) per share,
upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (such purchase right being
sometimes referred to herein as "the Option" or "this Option").

         2. Term and Tvpe of Option. Unless earlier terminated in accordance
witlr Sections 6 or 7.2 hereof, this Option and all rights of the Employee to
purchase Common Stock hereunder shall expire with respect to all of the shares
then subject to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on May 4, 2008 (the
"Option Expiration Date") This Option is intended to qualify as an incentive
stock option within the meaning of

<PAGE>
SmartDisk Corporation
Employee Incentive Stock Option Agreement
Page 2

Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code but the Company does not represent or
warrant that this Option qualifies as such. Accordingly, the Employee
understands that in order to obtain the benefits of incentive stock option
treatment under Section 421 of the Internal Revenue Code, no sale or other
disposition may be made of any shares acquired upon exercise of this Option for
at least one (1) year after the date of the issuance of such shares upon
exercise hereunder and for at least two (2) years after the Date of Grant of
this Option. NOTE: If the aggregate exercise price of the Option (that is, the
exercise price set forth in Section l multiplied by the number of shares subject
to the Option set forth in Section 1) plus the aggregate exercise price of any
other incentive stock options held by the Employee (whether granted pursuant to
the Plan or any other stock option plan of the Company) in any calendar year is
greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the Employee should
contact the Chief Financial Officer of the Company to ascertain whether the
entire Option qualifies as an incentive stock option.

3. Option Immediately Exercisable. Subject to the remaining provisions of this
Agreement, the option granted hereby shall be exercisable in full or in part at
any time after the date hereof and prior to the expiration date stated in
Section 2 (or any earlier termination of this option as provided in this
Agreement). Except as permitted in Section 7, as a condition to exercise this
option the Employee must be and remain in the employ of the Company, or of any
Parent or Subsidiary corporation of the Company (as defined i Internal Revenue
Code Sections 424(e) and (f)), during the entire period commencing with the Date
of Grant of this Option and ending with the date of exercise of this Option.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Employee's
employment shall be deemed to have terminated upon an actual termination of
employment and upon such Parent or Subsidiary corporation of the Company ceasing
to have such relationship with the Company. Any references in this Agreement to
the Employee's employment with the Company shall be deemed to also refer to the
Employee's employment with any Parent or Subsidiary corporation of the Company,
as applicable.

         Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Option may
not be exercised after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Date of Grant.

4. Restrictions on "Non-Vested Shares".

         4.1 Obligation to Resell Non-Vested Shares.

             4.1.1 Repurchase Right Accrues Upon Emplovee's Termination of
Employment . On the termination of the Employee's employment with the Company,
whether by reason of Employee's voluntary resignation, involuntary termination
(with or without cause), or under any other circumstances, the Company (and its
assignees as provided in Section 4.2.4 below) shall have the option to
repurchase from the Employee, and the Employee shall be obligated to sell to the
Company (and to its assignees pursuant to Section 4.2.4 below) all or any
portion of the shares of the Common Stock which at the date of the termination
of the Employee's employment with the Company are "Non-Vested Shares" (as
defined in Section 4.2.1 below) at the price stated in Section 4.2.3 below.

             4.1.2 Repurchase Procedure. The Company shall within forty-five
(45) days after the later of (1) the termination or expiration of exercisability
of this option or (2) the date of any termination of the Employee's employment
with the Company, give written notice to the Employee or to the Employee's
representative, as the case may be, specifying the number of Non-Vested Shares
which the Company (or its assignees) is electing to purchase hereunder, and the
place and time (which in no event shall be later than forty-fve (45) days from
the date of such notice) of the closing of such repurchase, and the Employee
shall

SmartDiskCorporation
Employee Incentive Stock Option Agreement
Page 3

deliver any certificates in the Employee's possession representing Non-Vested
Shares to the Company prior to such time.

         4.2 Vesting Schedule.

             4.2.1 Definition of "Non-Vested Shares." The percentage of the
shares covered by this Agreement which shall be "Non-Vested Shares" shall be
determined solely on the basis of the length of time from the date of this
Agreement that the Employee remains in the employ of the Company. Until May 4,
1999, all of the shares covered by this Agreement shall be Non-Vested Shares.
Effective upon the aforementioned date, twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares
covered by this Agreement shall cease to be Non-Vested Shares. Thereafter, the
number of shares constituting Non-Vested Shares at any given time shall be
further reduced in twelve (12) quarterly installments, each equal to six and
one-quarter percent (6.25%) of the shares subject to this Agreement, with each
to be effective as of the 4th day of each of August, November, February and May
commencing on August 4, 1999. Therefore, all shares shall be Vested Shares on
and after May 4, 2002. For purposes of this Agreement, any reference to Vested
Shares" shall mean those shares subject to this Agreement which are no longer
"Non-Vested Shares". Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of the Employee's shares
subject to this Agreement shall become Vested Shares and none of the shares
covered hereby shall remain Non-Vested Shares at such time as the repurchase
rights of the Company under this Section 4 have expired.

             4.2.2 Agreement Binds All Securities that May Be Issued. If after
the date of issuance of the Common Stock to the Employee upon exercise of the
option granted pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall issue any
additional shares of its Common Stock upon such Common Stock, by way of dividend
or stock split or other distribution, or if any shares of capital stock or other
securities of the Company or of any other corporation are issued in exchange
for, or with respect to, the Common Stock issued hereunder pursuant to any
recapitalization, merger, sale of assets, liquidation or other reorganization
(collectively, "Reorganization"), regardless of whether the Company shall
survive such Reorganization, all of such shares of Common Stock, capital stock
and other securities shall be considered to be additional shares acquired by the
Employee under this Agreement and shall be ratably subject to all provisions of
this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 4) as if they had
been issued to the Employee hereunder.

             4.2.3 Repurchase Price. The repurchase price under this Section 4
shall be equal to twenty- five cents ($0.25) for each Non-Vested Share being
repurchased by the Company (or its assignees), reasonably and ratably adjusted
for any stock split, stock dividend or Reorganization. Payment for all shares of
Non-Vested Shares repurchased under this Section 4 shall be made by cancellation
of the Employee's indebtedness to the Company (if any) or by cash or Company
check.

             4.2.4 Assignability of Companv's Rights. The Company may at any
time transfer and assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this
Section 4 to any other person, corporation, firm or entity, including its
officers, directors or shareholders with or without consideration.

             4.2.5 Prohibition on Transfers of Non-Vested Shares. In addition to
the restrictions on transfer set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and in the
Notice of Exercise and Investment Representation Statement attached hereto as
Exhibit A, the Employee agrees that neither Employee nor Employee's heirs,
successors and assigns will have any right or power under any circumstances to
sell, transfer (with or without consideration), pledge, assign, hypothecate or
dispose of (collectively, "Disposition") any Non-Vested Shares

<PAGE>
SmartDisk Corporation
Employee Incentive Stock Option Agreement
Page 4

or any interest therein, except to the Company (or its assigns as designated in
writing to Employee). Any attempted Disposition in breach of this Section 4.2.5
shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever.

             4.2.6 Retention by Company of Certificates Evidencing Non-Vested
Shares. Each stock certificate evidencing, in whole or in part, Non-Vested
Shares issued to Employee hereunder shall be immediately redelivered by Employee
to the Company, together with collateral instruments of transfer executed in
blank and escrow instructions in form provided by the Company, to be held by the
Company until such time as: (1) such shares are no longer Non-Vested Shares
hereunder; and (2) any indebtedness of Employee to the Company with respect to
the purchase of the shares under any promissory note issued by Employee (if
applicable) has been paid in full. After any and all such indebtedness has been
paid in full and the shares have become Vested Shares hereunder, the Company
shall, from time to time within sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of
Employee's written request therefor, deliver or cause to be delivered to
Employee stock certificates evidencing these shares covered by this Agreement
which are at that time Vested Shares hereunder. In lieu of formal documentation,
as contemplated by the foregoing, the stock certificate may be retained by or on
behalf of the Company, subject to a simple letter and executed stock power
referencing this Stock Option Agreement and including a statement that the stock
certificate will be delivered to the Employee when or as the shares become
Vested Shares upon Optionee's written request.

             4.2.7 Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control (as
defined below), one half of the Unvested Shares purchased under this Option
shall immediately become Vested Shares as of the consummation of such Change of
Control. The vesting that was permissible solely by reason of this Section shall
be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control. A "Change of
Control" shall be deemed to have occurred in the event any of the following
occurs with respect to the Company:

                   4.2.7.1 the direct or indirect sale or exchange by the
stockholders of the Company of all or substantially all of the stock of the
Company where the stockholders of the Company before such sale or exchange do
not retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the beneficial
interest in the voting stock of the Company after such sale or exchange.

                   4.2.7.2 a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not
the surviving corporation, other than (i) a merger in which the stockholders of
the Company before such merger or consolidation retain directly or indirectly,
at least a majority of the voting stock of the surviving corporation or the
parent corporation of the surviving corporation and the Options are assumed or
substituted by the surviving corporation which assumption or substitution shall
be binding on Employee, or (ii) a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned
subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or
other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of
the Company and the Options are assumed or substituted by the surviving,
continuing, successor or parent corporation, which assumption or substitution
shall be binding on the Employee.

                   4.2.7.3 a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the
surviving corporation where the stockholders of the Company before such merger
or consolidation do not retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of
the voting stock of the Company after such merger or consolidation.

                   4.2.7.4 the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company other than a sale, exchange, or
transfer to one (1) or more subsidiaries of the Company.

                   4.2.7.6 any other transaction which qualifies as a "corporate
transaction" under Section 424 of the Code wherein the stockholders of the
Company give up all of their equity interest in the Company (except for the
acquisition, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the outstanding
shares of the Company).

5. Right of First Refusal Applicable to Vested Shares. The Employee and
successors in interest to Employee shall not sell, assign, pledge or in any
manner transfer any of the Vested Shares of the Common Stock purchased hereunder
(Non-Vested Shares being subject to the absolute prohibition on transfers under
Section 4.2.5 above), or any right or interest therein, whether voluntarily or
by operation of law, or by gift or otherwise, except for a transfer which meets
the requirements hereinafter set forth.

         5.1 Notice of Proposed Sale. If the Employee desires to sell or
otherwise transfer any of his or her Vested Shares of Common Stock, the Employee

receipt of such notice, the Company (and its assignees as provided in Section
5.3 below) shall have the option to elect to purchase all of the shares

notice; provided that if the terms of payment set forth in the Employee's notice
were other than cash against delivery, the Company (and its assignees) shall pay
in cash or by check for said shares equal to the fair market value thereof as
determined in good faith by the Board, except that to the extent such
consideration is composed, in whole or in part, of promissory notes, the Company
(and its assignees) shall have the option of similarly issuing promissory notes
of like form, tenor and effect.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Employee disagrees
with the determination of fair market value made by the Board, the Employee
shall have the right to have such fair market value determined by arbitration in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
arbitration shall be held in the county in which the Company has its executive
offices.. The cost of the arbitration shall be borne in equal shares by the
Company and the Employee. In the event the Company (or its assignees) elects to
purchase all of such shares, it shall give written notice to the Employee of its
election and settlement for such purchase of shares shall be made as provided
below in Section 5.4.

         5.3 Assignability of Companv's Rights Hereunder. The Company may at any
time transfer and assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this
Section 5 to any other person, corporation, firm or entity, including its

assignees) elects to acquire all Vested Shares of the Employee as specified in
the Employee's notice, the Secretary of the Company shall so notify the Employee
within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Employee's notice, and
settlement thereof shall be made by cash or as otherwise set forth above within
forty-five (45) days after the date the Secretary of the Company gives the
Employee notice of the Company's election.

         5.5 Transferred Shares Remain Subject to Restrictions. In the event the
Company (or its assignees) do not elect to acquire all of the Vested Shares
specified in the Employee's notice, the Employee

<PAGE>

may, within the sixty (60) day period following the expiration of the forty-five
(45) day period for electing to exercise the purchase rights granted to the
Company (and its assignees) in Section 5.2, transfer the number of Vested Shares
in the manner specified in his or her notice. In that event, the transferee,
assignee or other recipient shall, as a condition of the transfer of ownership
receive and hold such shares subject to the provisions of Sections 5, 6, 11 and
13-22 of this Agreement, and shall execute such documentation as may be
requested by the Company, including, but not limited to, an investment
representation letter containing provisions similar to those set forth in the
Notice of Exercise and Investment Representation Statement attached as Exhibit A
hereto.

         5.6 Exceptions to First Refusal Rights. Anything to the contrary
contained herein notwithstanding, the following transactions shall be exempt

family" as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendants, father, mother, or
brother or sister of the Employee.

         5.7 Waivers by the Company. The provisions of this Section 5 may be
waived by the Company with respect to any transfer proposed by the Employee only
by duly authorized action of the Board.

         5.8 Unauthorized Transfers Void. Any sale or transfer, or purported
sale or transfer, of the Vested Shares of Common Stock subject to this Agreement
shall be null and void unless the terms, conditions and provisions of this
Section 5 are strictly complied with.

acquisition of substantially all of the business and assets of the Company by an
unaffiliated third park (as determined by the Board), whether by merger, sale of
outstanding stock or of the Company s assets, or otherwise, where no express
provision is made for the assignment and continuation of the Company's rights
hereunder by a new or successor corporation.

6. Agreement to Lock-Up in the Event of Public Offering. In the event of a
public offering of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to a registration
statement declared effective with the SEC, if requested by the Company or by its
underwriters, the Employee agrees not to sell, sell shorts grant any option to
buy or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to
this Agreement (except-for any such shares which may be included in the
registration) for a period of up to one hundred eighty (180) days following the
consummation date of such offering. The Company may impose stop-transfer
instructions with

SmartDisk Corporation
Employee Incentive Stock Option Agreement
Page 7

respect to the shares of the Common Stock subject to the foregoing restriction
until the end of said period. The Employee shall be subject to this Section 6
provided and only if the executive officers and directors of the Company are
also subject to similar arrangements.

7. Rights on Termination of Employment. Upon the termination of the Employee's
employment with the Company (and with any Parent or Subsidiary corporation of
the Company), the Employee's right to exercise this Option shall be limited in
the manner set forth in this Section 7 (and this Option shall terminate in the
event not so exercised), and shall also be subject to the limitation provided in
Section 3.

             7.1 Death. If the Employee's employment with the Company is
terminated because of the death of Employee, the Employee's estate may, for a
period of twelve (12) months following the date of such termination, exercise
the Option to the extent it was exercisable by the Employee on the date of such
termination. The Employee's estate shall mean the Employee's legal
representative upon death or any person who acquires the right to exercise the
Option by reason of such death in accordance with Section 9.2.

             7.2 Retirement. If the Employee's employment is terminated by
voluntary retirement at or after reaching sixty-five (65) years of age, the
Employee may, within three (3) months following such termination, exercise the
Option to the extent it was exercisable by the Employee on the date of such
termination unless the Employee dies prior thereto, in which event the Employee
shall be treated as though the Employee had died on the date of retirement and
the provisions of Section 7.1 above shall apply.

             7.3 Disability. If the Employee's employment with the Company is
terminated because of a permanent and total disability, the Employee or the
Employee's estate may, within twelve (12) months following the date of such
termination, exercise the Option to the extent it was exercisable by the
Employee on the date of such termination unless the Employee dies prior to the
expiration of such period, in which event the Employee shall be treated as
though his or her death occurred on the date of termination due to such
disability and the provisions of Section 7.1 above shall apply. The Employee
hereby acknowledges that the favorable tax treatment provided under Section 421
of the Internal Revenue Code may be inapplicable in the event the Option is not
exercised within three (3) months after the date of the Employee's termination
due to a partial, temporary or other disability not meeting the requirements of
Internal Revenue Code Section 22(e)(3).

             7.4 Termination For Cause. If the Employee's employment is
terminated for cause, the option granted by this Agreement shall expire on
Employee's termination date or at such later time and on such conditions as
determined by the Board. For purposes of this paragraph, "cause" shall be
defined as the willful breach or habitual neglect of the duties which Employee
is required to perform under his employment agreement with Company, or any act
of dishonesty, fraud, misrepresentation or other acts of moral turpitude as
would prevent the effective performance of Employee's duties.

             7.5 Other Termination. If the Employee's employment with the
Company is terminated for any reason other than provided in Sections 7.1, 7.2,
7.3 and 7.4 above, the Employee or the Employee's estate may, within three (3)
months after the date of the Employee's termination exercise the Option to the
extent it was exercisable by the Employee on the date of such termination.

             7.6 Transfer to Related Corporation. In the event the Employee
leaves the employ of the Company to become an employee of any Parent or
Subsidiary corporation of the Company or if the Employee leaves the employ of
any such Parent or Subsidiary corporation to become an employee of the Company
or of

<PAGE>
SmartDisk Corporation
Employee Incentive Stock Option Agreement
Page 8

another Parent or Subsidiary corporation, the Employee shall be deemed to
continue in the employ of the Company for all purposes of this Agreement.

             7.7 Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set
forth above is prevented because the issuance of shares upon such exercise would
constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities
law or other law or regulation, the Option shall remain exercisable until three
(3) months after the date the Employee is notified by the Company that the
Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the expiration of ten (10)
years from the Date of Grant. The Company makes no representation as to the tax
consequences of any such delayed exercise. The Employee should consult with the
Employee's own tax advisor as to the tax consequences to the Employee of any
such delayed exercise.

             7.8 Extension if Employee is Subject to Section 16(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time periods set
forth in Section 7 of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would
subject the Employee to suit under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to
occur of (i) the tenth (lOth) day following the date on which a sale of such
shares by the Employee would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one
hundred and ninetieth (19Oth) day after the Employee's termination of
employment, or (iii) the Option Expiration Date.

8. Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization or Merger.

             8.1 Stock Splits and Similar Events. Subject to any required action
by the Company's Board and stockholders, the number of shares of Common Stock
covered by the Option and the exercise price thereof shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or combination of such
shares or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Common Stock) or a
recapitalization or any other increase or decrease in the number of such
outstanding shares of Common Stock effected without the receipt of consideration
by the Company; provided, however, that the conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without
receipt of consideration."

             8.2 Mergers and Acquisitions. Subject to any required action by the
Company's Board and stockholders, if the Company shall be the surviving
corporation in any merger or consolidation which results in the holders of the
outstanding voting securities of the Company (determined immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation) owning, directly or indirectly, at least a
majority of the beneficial interest in the outstanding voting securities of the
surviving corporation or its Parent corporation (determined immediately after
such merger or consolidation), the Option shall pertain and apply to the
securities or other property to which a holder of the number of shares subject
to the unexercised portion of this Option would have been entitled. Any of (i) a
dissolution or liquidation of the Company or (ii) a sale of all or substantially
all its business and assets or (iii) a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is not the surviving corporation or which results in the holders of the
outstanding voting securities of the Company (determined immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation) owning, directly or indirectly, less than a
majority of the beneficial interest in the outstanding voting securities of the
surviving corporation or its Parent corporation (determined immediately after
such merger or consolidation) will cause the Option to terminate' unless (a) the
agreement of such sale, merger, consolidation or other transaction otherwise
provides or (b) a sale on the day preceding the scheduled consummation of such
event (the "test date") of shares acquired upon the exercise of the option would
subject the Employee to liability under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as

<PAGE>
SmartDisk Corporation
Employee Incentive Stock Option Agreement
Page 9

amended, in which event the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest
to occur of (i) the tenth (lath) day following the date on which a sale of such
shares by the Employee would no longer be subject to such liability, (ii) the
one hundred and ninetieth (19Oth) day after the test date, or (iii) the Option
Expiration Date.

             8.3 Board's Determination Final and Binding Upon Employee. To the
extent that the foregoing adjustments in this Section 8 relate to stock or
securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Board, whose
determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. The
Company agrees to give notice of any such adjustment to the Employee; provided,
however, that any such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all
purposes hereof whether or not such notice is given or received.

             8.4 No Rights Except as Expressly Stated. Except as hereinabove
expressly provided in this Section 8, no additional rights shall accrue to the
Employee by reason of any subdivision or combination of shares of the capital
stock of any class or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or
decrease in the number of shares of any class or by reason of any dissolution,
liquidation, merger or consolidation or spin-off of assets or of stock of
another corporation, and any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any
class or of securities convertible into shares of stock of any class shall not
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the
number or exercise price of shares subject to the Option. Neither the Employee
nor any person claiming under or through the Employee shall be, or have any of
the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any of
the shares issuable upon the exercise of this Option, unless and until this
Option is properly and lawfully exercised and a certificate representing the
shares so purchased is duly issued and delivered to the Employee or to his or
her estate.

             8.5 No Limitations on Companv's Discretion. The grant of the Option
hereby 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 structure or to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

9. Manner of Exercise.

             9.1 General Instructions for Exercise. The Option shall be
exercised by the Employee by completing, executing and delivering to the Company
the Notice of Exercise and Investment Representation Statement ("Notice of
Exercise"), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which Notice
of Exercise shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock which the
Employee elects to purchase. The Company's obligation to deliver shares upon the
exercise of this Option shall be subject to the Employee's satisfaction of all
applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax
withholding requirements, if any. Upon receipt of such Notice of Exercise and of
payment of the purchase price (and payment of applicable taxes as provided
above), the Company shall, as soon as reasonably possible and subject to all
other provisions hereof, deliver certificates for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased, registered in the Employee's name or in the name of his or her legal
representative (if applicable). Payment of the purchase price upon any exercise
of the Option shall be by delivery of a combination of cash or a check and a
promissory note to the extent permitted by the Plan and under the applicable
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and any other law. Subject to
the limitations set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the par value
of the shares to which the exercise of the Option relates shall be paid in cash
or by check and the balance of the exercise price shall be paid by delivery to
the Company of cash, a check or a full recourse secured promissory note, bearing
interest at the per annum rate which is not less than the "test rate" as set by
the regulations promulgated under Sections 483 or 1274, as applicable, of the
Internal Revenue Code and as in effect on the date of exercise. Any such
promissory note shall be secured by a

<PAGE>
SmartDisk Corporation
Employee Incentive Stock Option Agreement
Page 10

pledge of the shares of Common acquired upon exercise of the Option. If this
Option is exercised by Optionee's successor in interest following a transfer of
the Option under Sections 9.2 or 10, payment of the purchase price shall be by
cash or check and no portion may be paid by such successor's promissory note.

             9.2 Exercise Procedure After Death. To the extent exercisable after
the Employee's death, this Option shall be exercised only by the Employee's
executor(s) or administrator(s) or the person or persons to whom this Option is
transferred under the Employee's will or, if the Employee shall fail to make
testamentary disposition of this Option, under the applicable laws of descent
and distribution. Any such transferee exercising this Option must furnish the
Company with (1) written Notice of Exercise and relevant information as to his
or her status, (2) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the
validity of the transfer of this Option and compliance with any laws or
regulations pertaining to said transfer, and (3) written acceptance of the terms
and conditions of this Option as contained in this Agreement.

10. Non-Transferable. The Option shall, during the lifetime of the Employee, be
exercisable only by the Employee and shall not be transferable or assignable by
the Employee in whole or in part other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. If the Employee shall make any such purported transfer or
assignment of the Option, such assignment shall be null and void and of no force
or effect whatsoever.

11. Compliance with Securities and Other Laws. The Option may not be exercised
and the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any certificates evidencing
shares of Common Stock hereunder if the issuance of shares upon such exercise
would constitute a violation of any applicable requirements of: (i) the
Securities Act, (ii) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (iii)
applicable state securities laws, (iv) any applicable listing requirement of any
stock exchange on which the Company's Common Stock is then listed, and (v) any
other law or regulation applicable to the issuance of such shares. Nothing
herein shall be construed to require the Company to register or qualify any
securities under applicable federal or state securities laws, or take any action
to secure an exemption from such registration and qualification for the issuance
of any securities upon the exercise of the Option. Shares of Common Stock issued
upon exercise of this Option shall include the following legends and such other
legends as in the opinion of the Company's counsel may be required by applicable
federal, state and foreign securities laws:

         THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO
         RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER AGREEMENTS (INCLUDING CERTAIN
         REPURCHASE RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY)
         CONTAINED IN A STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT, DATED MAY 4, 1998, A COPY OF
         WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE COMPANY.

         THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
         UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
         TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE
         REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE
         SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 OR RULE 701 UNDER THE ACT, OR
         THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE
         SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH
         SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE
         REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT.

12. No Right to Continue Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall:
(i) confer upon the Employee any right with respect to the continuance of his or
her employment agreement with the Company, or by any Parent or Subsidiary
corporation of the Company, or (ii) limit in any way the right of the Company,
or of any Parent or Subsidiary corporation, to terminate the Employee's
employment at any time. Except to the extent the Company and the Employee shall
have otherwise agreed in writing, the Employee's employment shall be terminable
by the Company (or by a Parent or Subsidiary, if applicable) at will. Subject to
Section 13, the Board in its sole discretion shall determine whether any leave
of absence or interruption in employment (including an interruption during
military service) shall be deemed a termination of employment for the purposes
of this Agreement.

13. Leave of Absence. For purposes hereof, the Employee's employment shall not
be deemed to terminate if the Employee takes any military leave, sick leave, or
other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company of ninety (90) days or
less. In the event of a leave in excess of ninety (90) days, the Employee's
employment shall be deemed to terminate on the ninety-first (91st) day of the
leave unless the Employee's right to reemployment remains guaranteed by statute
or contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a leave of absence shall be
treated as employment for purposes of Section 3 if and only if the leave of
absence is designated by the Company as (or required by law to be) a leave for
which vesting credit is given.

14. Committee of the Board. In the event that the Plan is administered by a
committee of the Board (the "Committee"), all references herein to the Board
shall be construed to mean the Committee for the period(s) during which the
Committee administers the Plan.

15. Option Subject to Terms. of Plan. In addition to the provisions hereof, this
Agreement and the Option are governed by, and subject to the terms and
conditions of, the Plan. The Employee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan
(a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B). The Employee represents that
he or she is familiar with the terms and conditions of the Plan, and hereby
accepts the Option subject to all of the terms and conditions thereof, which
terms and conditions shall control to the extent inconsistent in any respect
with the provisions of this Agreement. The Employee hereby agrees to accept as
binding, conclusive and final all decisions and interpretations of the Board as
to any questions arising under the Plan or under this Agreement.

16. Notices. All notices and other communications of any kind which either party
to this Agreement may be required or may desire to serve on the other party
hereto in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and may be
delivered by personal service or by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon fully
prepaid, addressed to the other party at the addresses indicated on the
signature page hereof or as otherwise provided below. Service of any such notice
or other communication so made by mail shall be deemed complete on the date of
actual delivery as shown by the addressee's registry or certification receipt or
at the expiration of the third (3rd) business day after the date of mailing,
whichever is earlier in time. Either party may from time to time, by notice in
writing served upon the other as aforesaid, designate a different mailing
address or a different person to which such notices or other communications are
thereafter to be addressed or delivered.

17. Further Assurances. The Employee shall, upon request of the Company,. take
all actions and execute all documents requested by the Company which the Company
deems to be reasonably necessary to effectuate the terms and intent of this
Agreement and, when required by any provision of this Agreement to transfer all
or any portion of the Common Stock purchased hereunder to the Company (and its
assignees), the

<PAGE>
SmartDiskCorporation
Employee Incentive Stock Option Agreement
Page 12

Employee shall deliver such Common Stock endorsed in blank or accompanied by
Stock Assignments Separate from Certificate endorsed in blank, so that title
thereto will pass by delivery alone. Any sale or transfer by the Employee of the
Common Stock to the Company (and its assignees) shall be made free of any and
all claims, encumbrances, liens and restrictions of every kind, other than those
imposed by this Agreement.

18. Notice of Sales Upon Disqualifving Disposition. The Employee shall dispose
of the shares acquired pursuant to the Option only in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. In addition, the Employee shall promptly notify
the Chief Financial Officer of the Company if the Employee disposes of any of
the shares acquired pursuant to the Option within one (1) year from the date the
Employee exercises all or part of the Option or within two (2) years of the Date
of Grant of this Option. Until such time as the Employee disposes of such shares
in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Employee shall
hold all shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the Employee's name (and not
in the name of any nominee) for the one (l)-year period immediately after
exercise of the Option and the two (2)year period immediately after the Date of
Grant of this Option. At any time during the one (1)-year or two (2)-year
periods set forth above, the Company may place a legend or legends on any
certificate or certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to the Option
requesting the transfer agent for the Company's stock to notify the Company of
any such transfers. The obligation of the Employee to notify the Company of any
such transfer shall continue notwithstanding that a legend has been placed on
the certificate or certificates pursuant to the preceding sentence.

19. Successors. Except to the extent the same is specifically limited by the
terms and provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement is binding upon the
Employee and the Employee's successors, heirs and personal representatives, and
upon the Company, its successors and assigns.

20. Termination or Amendment. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan,
the Board may terminate or amend the Plan and/or the Option at any time;
provided, however, that no such termination or amendment may adversely affect
the Option or any unexercised portion hereof without the consent of the Employee
unless such amendment is required to enable the Option to qualify as an
Incentive Stock Option.

21. Integrated Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire
understanding and agreement of the Employee and the Company with respect to the
subject matter contained herein, and there are no agreements, understandings,
restrictions, representations, or warranties between the Employee and the
Company other than those set forth or provided for herein. To the extent
contemplated herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall survive any exercise
of the Option and shall remain in full force and effect.

22. Other Miscellaneous Terms. Titles and captions contained in this Agreement
are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way
define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent of
any provision hereof. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, irrespective of its choice of
law principles.

23. Independent Tax Advice. The Employee agrees that he or she has obtained or
will obtain the advice of independent tax counsel (or has determined not to
obtain such advice, having had adequate opportunity to do so) regarding the
federal and state income tax consequences of the receipt and exercise of the
Option and of the disposition of Common Stock acquired upon exercise hereof. The
Employee acknowledges that he or she has not relied and will not rely upon any
advice or representation by the Company or by its employees or representatives
with respect to the tax treatment of the Option.

Attention: Corporate Secretary

Re: Notice of Exercise of Stock Option

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         I hereby exercise, as of ____________, my stock option (granted May 4,
1998) to purchase ________ (_____) shares (the "Option Shares") of the Common
Stock of SmartDisk Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Payment
of the option price of ________ Dollars ($_____) is made as follows: (i) a
check, dated ________, in the amount of _____ Dollars ($_____ ) is attached to
this notice in payment of the par value of the Common Stock (the par value of
the Common Stock being $0.001 per share); and (ii) a Full Recourse Secured
Promissory Note in the amount of _______________ Dollars ($_____ ), bearing
interest at the rate specified therein, together with the Pledge and Security
Agreement pertaining thereto, is delivered herewith.

         As a condition to this notice of exercise, I hereby make the following
representations and agreements:

         Investment Representation Statement.

         1. I am purchasing the Option Shares for investment for my own account
only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
"distribution" thereof. I am aware of the Company's business affairs and
financial condition and have had access to such information about the Company as
I have deemed necessary or desirable to reach an informed and knowledgeable
decision to acquire the Option Shares.

         2. I understand that the Option Shares have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or qualified or registered
under the blue sky law of any state (the "Law"), by reason of specific
exemptions therefrom, which exemptions depend upon, among other things, the bona
fide nature of my investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, I
understand that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"), the statutory basis for one such exemption may not exist if my
representation means that my present intention is to hold the Option Shares for
a minimum capital gains period under the tax laws, for a deferred sale, for a
market rise, for a sale if the market does not rise, or for a year or any other
fixed period in the future.

         3. I acknowledge and agree that the Option Shares are restricted
securities which must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. I
further acknowledge and understand that the Company is under no obligation to
register the Option Shares.

<PAGE>
Employee Incentive Stock Option Agreement
Exhibit A
Page 2

         4. I am aware of the adoption of Rule 144 by the Commission, which
permits limited public resale of securities acquired in a non-public offering,
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other
things, the availability of certain current public information about the issuer,
the passage of not less than one (1) year after the holder has purchased and
paid for the securities to be sold, effectuation of the sale on the public
market through a broker in an unsolicited "brokers' transaction" or to a "market
maker," and compliance with specified limitations on the amount of securities to
be sold (generally, one percent (I %) of the total amount of common stock
outstanding) during any three (3)-month period, except that such conditions need
not be met by a person who is not an affiliate the Company at the time of sale
and has not been an affiliate for the preceding three (3) months if the
securities to be sold have been beneficially owned by such person for at least
two (2) years prior to their sale.

         5. I understand that the Company currently does not, and at the time I
wish to sell the Option Shares may not, satisfy the current public information
requirement of Rule 144 and, consequently, I may be precluded from selling the
Option Shares under Rule 144 even if the one (1)-year minimum holding period has
been satisfied.

         6. I further understand that if all of the requirements of Rule 144 are
not met, compliance with Regulation A or some other exemption from registration
will be required; and that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the
Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted
securities other than in a registered offering and other than pursuant to Rule
144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption
from registration is available for such offers or sales and . that such persons
and the brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.

         7. I further understand that the certificate(s) representing the Option
Shares, whether upon initial issuance or any transfer thereof, shall bear on
their face legends, prominently stamped or printed thereon in capital letters,
reading as follows:

         THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO
         RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER AGREEMENTS aNCLUDING CERTAIN
         REPURCHASE RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY)
         CONTAINED IN A STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT, DATED MAY 4, 1998, A COPY OF
         WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE COMPANY.
