Non-qualified Stock Options; (ii) determine, upon review of relevant
information, the fair market value of any of the Company's securities including,
without limitation, the Class A Common Stock; (iii) determine the exercise price
per share of Options to be granted; (iv) determine the persons to whom, and the
time or times at which, Options shall be granted and the number of shares to be
represented by each Option; (v) determine the vesting schedule of the Options to
be granted; (vi) interpret the Plan; (vii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules

of each Option granted (which need not be identical) and, with the consent of

the consent of the holder thereof) the exercise date of any Option; (x)
authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required
to effectuate the grant of an Option previously granted by the Committee; and
(xi) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan.

                  (3) EFFECT OF THE COMMITTEE'S DECISION. All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be final and binding
on all Optionees.

         V. ELIGIBILITY. Options may be granted to Employees as well as
directors, independent contractors and agents, as determined by the Committee.
Any person who has been granted an Option may, if he is otherwise eligible, be
granted an additional Option or Options. The Plan shall not constitute a
contract of employment nor shall the Plan confer upon any Optionee any right
with respect to the continuation of employment or any other service with the
Company or any Subsidiary nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her
right or the Company's or Subsidiary's right, as the case may be, to terminate
his or her employment at any time`.

         VI. TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by
the Board of Directors. The Plan shall continue in effect ten (10) years from
the effective date of the Plan, unless sooner terminated under Section 13 of the
Plan.



                                       2
<PAGE>

         VII. TERM OF OPTION. The term of each Option shall be ten (10) years
from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the
Stock Option Agreement.

         VIII. EXERCISE PRICE AND CONSIDERATION.

                  (1) EXERCISE PRICE. The per Share exercise price for the
Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be such price as
determined by the Committee.

                  (2) PAYMENT. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be
determined by the Committee and may consist entirely of cash, check, promissory
note, shares of the Company's capital stock, or other securities of the Company
having a fair market value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate
exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised, or any
combination of such methods of payment, or such other consideration and method
of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under Florida law.
When payment of the exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of
an Option consists of shares of the Company's capital stock, such shares will
not be accepted as payment unless the Optionee or Transferee, if applicable, has
held such shares for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the
Company's earnings for financial reporting purposes.

         IX. EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                  (1) PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE; RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Any
Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such
conditions as determined by the Committee, including performance criteria with
respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries and/or the Optionee, and as shall be
permissible under the terms of the Plan. An Option may not be exercised for a
fraction of a Share. An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written
notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the
terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been
received by the Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Committee,
consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b)
of the Plan. Until the issuance of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares
(as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company), which in no event will be delayed
more than thirty (30) days from the date of the exercise of the Option, no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist
with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.
Except as provided in the Plan, no adjustment will be made for a dividend or
other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate
is issued. Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the
number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.

                  (2) TERMINATION OF STATUS AS AN EMPLOYEE. Subject to this
Section 9(b), if any Employee ceases to be in Continuous Status as an Employee,
other than as a result of permanent or disability (as defined below) or death,
he or any Transferee may, but only within thirty (30) days (or such other period
of time not exceeding three (3) months as is determined by the Committee) after
the date he ceases to be an Employee, exercise his or her Option to the extent
that he or any Transferee was entitled to exercise it as of the date of such
termination. To the extent that he or any Transferee was not entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if he or any Transferee
does not exercise such Option (which he or any Transferee was entitled to
exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. If any
Employee ceases to serve as an Employee as a result of a termination for cause
(as determined by the Committee), any Option held by such Employee or Transferee
shall terminate immediately and automatically on the date of his or her
termination as an Employee unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

                  (3) DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE. In the event an Employee is unable
to continue his employment as a result of his or her total and permanent
disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), he or any Transferee
may, but only within three (3) months (or such other period of time not
exceeding twelve (12) months as is determined by the Committee) from the date of
termination of employment, exercise his or her Option to the extent he or any
Transferee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such disability. To the
extent that he or any Transferee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the
date of disability, or if he or any Transferee does not



                                       3
<PAGE>

exercise such Option (which he or any Transferee was entitled to exercise)
within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

                  (4) DEATH OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of an
Optionee, the Option may be exercised:

                           (a) if the Optionee is an Employee at the time of his
or her death, and was in Continuous Status as an Employee since the date of
grant of the Option, at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of
death by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise
the Option by bequest or inheritance, or by any Transferee, as the case may be,
but only to the extent of the right to exercise that would have accrued had the
Optionee continued living one (1) month after the date of death; or

                           (b) if such death is within thirty (30) days (or such
other period of time not exceeding three (3) months as is determined by the
Committee) after the termination of Continuous Status as an Employee, at any
time within three (3) months following the date of death by the Optionee's
estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest
or inheritance, or any Transferee, as the case may be, but only to the extent of
the right to exercise that had accrued at the date of termination.

         X. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. During an Optionee's lifetime, an Option
may be exercisable only by the Optionee and an Option granted under the Plan and
the rights and privileges conferred thereby shall not be subject to execution,
attachment or similar process and may not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, transferred or otherwise disposed of in any manner (whether by
operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by
applicable law and Rule 16b_3, the Committee may determine that any Nonqualified
Stock Option may be transferred by an Optionee to any of the following: (1) a
family member of the Optionee; (2) a trust established primarily for the benefit
of the Optionee and/or a family member of said Optionee; or (3) any charitable
organization exempt from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code
(collectively, a "Transferee"). Any other attempt to sell, pledge, assign,
hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Option under the Plan or of
any right or privilege conferred thereby, contrary to the provisions of the
Plan, or the sale or levy or any attachment or similar process upon the rights
and privileges conferred hereby, shall be null and void.

         XI. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR MERGER.

                  (1) INCREASE OR DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF ISSUED SHARES.
Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of
shares of Class A Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance
under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have
been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well
as the price per share of Class A Common Stock covered by each such outstanding
Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Class A Common Stock resulting from a stock split or
the payment of a stock dividend with respect to such stock or any other increase
or decrease in the number of issued shares of such stock effected without
receipt or payment of consideration by the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
conversion of any convertible securities of the Company in accordance with their
terms shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of
consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose
determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as
expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any
class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the
number or price of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to an Option.

                  (2) DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION; SALE OF SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF
THE ASSETS; MERGER. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of
the Company, or in the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, the Committee or the Board of Directors may determine, in its
discretion, that (i) if any such transaction is effected in a manner that
holders of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive stock or securities
in exchange for such shares, then, as a condition of such transaction, lawful
and adequate provision shall be made whereby the provisions of the Plan and the
Options granted hereunder shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent
as may be practicable,



                                       4
<PAGE>

in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the
exercise of any Option or (ii) the Option will terminate immediately prior to
the consummation of such proposed transaction. The Committee may, in the
exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any Option shall
terminate as of a date fixed by the Committee and give each Optionee or
Transferee, if applicable, the right to exercise his or her Option as to all or
any part of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option would
not otherwise be exercisable.

                  (3) RIGHT TO TAKE CERTAIN CORPORATE ACTIONS. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the existence of outstanding Options granted
under the Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company
to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations,
reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its
business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issuance by
the Company of debt securities or preferred or preference stock that would rank
above the Shares subject to outstanding Options; (iv) the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any
part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate act
or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

         XII. TIME FOR GRANTING OPTIONS. The date of grant of an Option shall,
for all purposes, be the date on which the Committee makes the determination
granting such Option or such later date as the Committee may specify. Notice of
the determination shall be given to each Employee to whom an Option is so
granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

         XIII. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

                  (1) COMMITTEE ACTION. Subject to applicable laws and
regulations, the Committee or the Board of Directors may amend or terminate the
Plan from time to time in such respects as the Committee or the Board of
Directors may deem advisable without the approval of the Company's shareholders.

                  (2) EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. No amendment or
termination or modification of the Plan shall in any manner affect any Option
theretofore granted without the consent of the Optionee, except that the
Committee may amend or modify the Plan in a manner that does affect Options
theretofore granted upon a finding by the Committee that such amendment or
modification is in the best interest of shareholders or Optionees.

         XIV. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be issued
pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act
and Exchange Act, and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system
upon which the Shares may then be listed. As a condition to the exercise of an
Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent
and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased
only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such
Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is
required by any of the aforementioned provisions of law.

         XV. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company, during the term of this Plan,
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Inability of the Company to
obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority
is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and
sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained.

         XVI. STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT. Options shall be evidenced by written
Stock Option Agreements in such form as the Committee shall approve. The Stock
Option Agreement may contain such other provisions, including, without
limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of the Option, as the Committee shall
deem advisable.

         XVII. COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 16B-3. It is the intent of the Company that
this Plan and Options



                                       5
<PAGE>

granted hereunder satisfy, and be interpreted in a manner that, in the case of
Optionees who are or may be Officers, satisfies the applicable requirements of
Rule 16b-3, so that such persons will be entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3,
or other exemptive rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and will not be
subjected to avoidable liability thereunder. If any provision of this Plan or of
any Option would otherwise frustrate or conflict with the intent expressed in
this Section 17, that provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and
deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict. To the extent of any remaining
irreconcilable conflict with such intent, such provision shall be deemed void as
applicable to Officers.

         XVIII. INDEMNIFICATION OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS. In addition to such other
rights of indemnification they may have as Directors, the members of the
Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses,
including attorneys' fees actually and necessarily incurred in connection with
the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal
thereon, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action
taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Option
granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof
or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or
proceeding (except that such right of indemnification shall not apply with
respect to any action, suit or other proceeding that such Committee member is
adjudged liable for gross negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or
her duties); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that within sixty (60) days after institution of
any such action, suit or proceeding the Committee member shall in writing offer
the Company the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same.

         XIX. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The granting of an Option shall
impose no obligation upon the Optionee to exercise such Option.

         XX. TAX WITHHOLDINGS. The Company and any Subsidiary may, in their
discretion and to the extent permitted by law, withhold from any payments,
distributions or transfers of any kind due to an Optionee with respect to the
Options or the Optioned Stock the amount of any federal, state, local or foreign
taxes required by any governmental regulatory authority.

         XXI. OTHER COMPENSATION PLANS. The adoption of the Plan shall not
affect any other stock option or incentive or other compensation plans in effect
for the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall the Plan preclude the Company from
establishing any other forms of incentive or other compensation for employees,
officers and directors of the Company or any Subsidiary.

         XXII. SINGULAR, PLURAL; GENDER. Whenever used herein, nouns in the
singular shall include the plural, and the masculine pronoun shall include the
feminine gender.

         XXIII. HEADINGS NOT PART OF PLAN. Headings of Articles and Sections of
the Plan are inserted for convenience and reference and shall not constitute a
part of the Plan.

         XXIV. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of the Plan is held to be invalid
or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the other
provisions of the Plan and the provision held to be invalid or unenforceable
shall be enforced as nearly as possible according to its original terms and
intent to eliminate such invalidity or unenforceability.



                                       6
