         4. VESTING LIMITATION FOR ISOs. Options otherwise qualifying as
Incentive Stock Options hereunder will not be treated as Incentive Stock Options
to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the
Option is granted) of the Shares, with respect to which Options meeting the
requirements of Code Section 422(b) are exercisable for the first time by any
individual during any calendar year (under all stock option or similar plans of
the Company and any Subsidiary), exceeds $100,000.

         5. CONDITIONS FOR GRANT OF OPTIONS.

                  (a) Each Option shall be evidenced by a written Option
Agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto that may contain any term
deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee, provided such terms are not
inconsistent with this Plan or any applicable law.

                  (b) Optionees shall be selected by the Committee from: (i) all
Employees (including Directors and Officers who are Employees); (ii)
Non-Employee Eligible Individuals; and (iii) former or prospective Employees and
Non-Employee Eligible Individuals.

                  (c) In granting Options, the Committee shall take into
consideration the contribution the person has made, or is expected to make, with
respect to the success of the Company or its Subsidiaries and such other factors
as the Committee shall determine. The Committee shall also have the authority to
consult with and receive recommendations from Officers and other personnel of
the Company and its Subsidiaries with regard to these matters. The Committee may
from time to time prescribe such terms and conditions concerning such Options as
it deems appropriate, including, without limitation: (i) the exercise price or
prices of the Option or any installments thereof; (ii) the date or dates on
which the Option becomes and/or remains exercisable; (iii) providing that the
Option vests or becomes exercisable in installments

over a period of time, and/or upon the attainment of certain standards,
specifications or goals; (iv) conditioning the exercise of an Option on the
continued employment or service of the Optionee for a specified period of time;
or (v) other conditions or termination events with respect to the exercisability
of any Option, provided that such other conditions or events are not more
favorable to an Optionee than those expressly permitted herein.

                  (d) The Options granted to Employees or Non-Employee Eligible
Individuals under this Plan shall be in addition to regular salaries, pension,
life insurance or other benefits related to their employment with or service to
the Company or its Subsidiaries.

                  (e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the
contrary, an Incentive Stock Option shall not be granted to any person owning
directly or indirectly (through attribution under Section 424(d) of the Code) at
the date of grant, stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company (or of its parent or subsidiary, as
those terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code, at the date of grant) unless
the option price of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares subject to such Option on the date the Option is granted, and such Option
by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date
such Option is granted.

                  (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, and in
addition to any other requirements of this Plan, the aggregate number of Shares
with respect to which Options may be granted to any one Optionee may not exceed
sixty percent (60%) of authorized Options, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 10(a) hereof.

                  (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, and in
addition to any other requirements of this Plan, Options may not be granted to a
Covered Employee unless the grant of such Option is authorized by, and all of
the terms of such Options are determined by, a Committee that is appointed in
accordance with Section 13 of this Plan and all of whose members are Outside
Directors.

                  (h) Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

                  (i) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, condition the
grant of an Option upon the execution and delivery of confidentiality,
non-competition and other restrictive covenants and agreements, all of which may
be incorporated into the Option Agreement.

                  (j) The date of grant of an Option shall, for all purposes, be
the date on which the Board makes the determination to grant such Option. Notice
of the determination shall be given to each Optionee within a reasonable time
after the date of such grant.

         6. EXERCISE PRICE.

                  (a) Except as provided in this Section 6, the exercise price
per Share of any Option shall be the price determined by the Committee at the
time the Option is granted, provided it is in excess of the Share's par value.

                  (b) Subject to Section 5(e), the exercise price of any
Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Share
underlying the Option (as determined in the



                                       6
<PAGE>

         sole and absolute discretion of the Committee in a fair and uniform
         manner) on the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

         7. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.

                  (a) An Option shall be deemed exercised when: (i) the Company
has received written notice of such exercise in accordance with the terms of the
Option; (ii) full payment of the exercise price for all of the Shares as to
which the Option is exercised has been made; (iii) the Optionee has agreed to be
bound by the terms, provisions and conditions of any applicable shareholders'
agreement; and (iv) arrangements that are satisfactory to the Committee in its
sole discretion have been made for the Optionee's payment to the Company of the
amount that is necessary for the Company or the Subsidiary employing the
Optionee to withhold in accordance with applicable Federal or state tax
withholding requirements. Unless further limited by the Committee in any Option
Agreement, the exercise price of any Option may be paid in cash, by certified or
official bank check, by personal check (with the approval of the Committee), by
money order, with Shares owned by the Optionee that have been owned by the
Optionee for more than 6 months on the date of surrender or such other period as
may be required to avoid a charge to the Company's earnings for financial
accounting purposes, by authorization for the Company to withhold Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Option, by arrangement with a broker that is
acceptable to the Committee where payment of the exercise price is made pursuant
to an irrevocable direction to the broker to deliver all or a part of the
proceeds from the sale of the Option Shares to the Company in payment of the
exercise price or by a combination of the above, or by promissory note (as
described below). If the exercise price is paid in whole or in part with Shares,
the value of the Shares surrendered shall be their Fair Market Value on the date
the Option is exercised.

                  (b) The Company in its sole discretion may, on an individual
basis or pursuant to a general program established in connection with this Plan,
lend money to an Optionee, guarantee a loan to an Optionee, or otherwise assist
an Optionee to obtain the financing necessary to exercise all or a portion of an
Option granted hereunder or to pay any tax liability of the Optionee
attributable to such exercise. If the exercise price is paid in whole or in part
with the Optionee's promissory note, such note shall: (i) provide for full
recourse to the maker; (ii) be collateralized by the pledge of the Shares that
the Optionee purchases upon exercise of such Option; (iii) bear interest at the
prime rate of the Company's principal lender, plus two percent; and (iv) contain
such other terms as the Board or Committee in its sole discretion shall
reasonably require.

                  (c) No Optionee shall be deemed to be a holder of any Shares
subject to an Option unless and until a stock certificate or certificates for
such Shares are issued to such person(s) under the terms of this Plan (as
evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company). Until the issuance of the stock
certificate evidencing the Shares as to which an Option has been exercised, no
right to vote or to receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall
exist with respect to such Shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends
(ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date
such stock certificate is issued, notwithstanding the exercise of such Option,
except as expressly provided in Section 10 hereof.

         8. EXERCISABILITY OF OPTIONS.

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8 and subject
to Section 12, an Option shall become exercisable in such amounts, at such
vesting intervals, upon such events or occurrences, and upon such other terms
and conditions as shall be provided in the individual's Option Agreement,.

                  (b) Subject to Section 5(e), the expiration date(s) of an
Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but in no
event shall an Option be exercisable after the expiration of 7 years from the
date of grant of the Option.

                  (c) Unless otherwise expressly provided in any Option
Agreement, and notwithstanding the exercise schedule set forth in any Option
Agreement, each outstanding Option, may, in the sole discretion of the
Committee, become fully exercisable upon the date of the occurrence of any
Change of Control or the Optionee's termination of employment with the Company
by reason of Retirement, death or Disability. However, unless otherwise
expressly provided in any Option Agreement, the Option shall not be exercisable
earlier than six months after the date of grant, and if and only if Optionee
remains in the employ or service of the Company or Subsidiary, as the case may
be, on such date.

         9. TERMINATION OF OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD.

                  (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in any Option
Agreement, the unexercised portion of any Option granted to an Optionee shall
automatically and without notice immediately terminate at the earliest to occur
of the following:

                           (i) one year after the date on which the Optionee's
employment or service is terminated for any reason, other than by reason of: (A)
Cause; (B) voluntary termination of employment or service by the Optionee; or
(C) the Optionee's death;

                           (ii) immediately upon the termination by the Company
of the Optionee's employment or service for Cause;

                           (iii) ninety days after the voluntary termination of
employment or service by the Optionee;

                           (iv) one year after the date of the Optionee's death
PROVIDED, that with respect to the death of an Optionee who previously
terminated his employment or his service by reason of Disability, the option
exercise period shall expire at the later to occur of one year following the
date on which the Optionee's employment or service with the Company was
terminated due to Disability, or one month following the Optionee's death.

                  (b) Unless otherwise expressly provided in any Option, the
Committee in its sole discretion may, by giving written notice ("cancellation
notice") to the Optionee, cancel, effective upon the date of the consummation of
any Change of Control, any Option that remains unexercised on such date. Such
cancellation notice shall be given within a reasonable period of time prior to
the proposed date of such cancellation and may be given either before or after
approval of such corporate transaction.

                  (c) Upon termination of an Option (or portion thereof)
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, any Option (or portion
thereof) not previously exercised shall be canceled.

         10. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

                  (a) If, at any time while this Plan is in effect or
unexercised Options are outstanding, there shall be any increase or decrease in
the number of issued and outstanding Common Stock through the declaration of a
stock dividend, through any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up,
combination or exchange of Common Stock (other than any such exchange or
issuance of Common Stock through which Common Stock is issued to effect an
acquisition of another business or entity or the Company's purchase of Common
Stock to exercise a "call" purchase option), then and in such event:

                           (i) appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
maximum number of Shares available for grant under this Plan, so that the same
percentage of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares shall continue to be
subject to being so optioned; and

                           (ii) appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
number of Shares and the exercise price per Share thereof then subject to any
outstanding Option, so that the same percentage of the Company's issued and
outstanding Shares shall remain subject to purchase at the same aggregate
exercise price.

                  (b) Such adjustments shall be made by the Committee, whose
determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

                  (c) Subject to the specific terms of any Option Agreement, the
Committee may change the terms of Options outstanding under this Plan, with
respect to the option price or the number of Shares subject to the Options, or
both, when, in the Committee's sole judgment and discretion, such adjustments
become appropriate by reason of a Change of Control.

                  (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the
issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its capital stock of
any class, either in connection with a direct or underwritten sale or upon the
exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor or purchase such shares, or
upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such
shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason
thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of or exercise price of Shares
then subject to outstanding Options granted under this Plan.

                  (e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
existence of outstanding Options granted under this 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, reclassifications, reorganizations or
other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business; (ii) any
merger or consolidation of the Company or to which the Company is a party; (iii)
any issuance by the Company of debt securities, or preferred or preference
stock, that would rank senior to or above the Shares subject to outstanding
Options; (iv) any purchase or issuance by the Company of Shares or other classes
of common stock or common equity securities; (v) the dissolution or



                                       9
<PAGE>

liquidation of the Company; (vi) any sale, transfer, encumbrance, pledge or
assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vii)
any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or
otherwise.

                  (f) The Optionee shall receive written notice within a
reasonable time prior to the consummation of such action advising the Optionee
of any of the foregoing. 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 Board and give each Optionee the right to exercise her or his
Option.

         11. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.

                  (a) No Option shall be subject to alienation, assignment,
pledge, charge or other transfer other than by the Optionee by will or the laws
of descent and distribution, and any attempt to make any such prohibited
transfer shall be void; PROVIDED, however, that a Non-Statutory Stock Option may
be transferred to a family member or trust for the benefit of a family member if
the Committee's prior written consent is obtained (which consent may be obtained
at the time an Option is granted) and provided the transaction does not violate
the requirements of Rule 16b-3. Each Option shall be exercisable during the
Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee, or in the case of a Non-Statutory
Stock Option that has been assigned or otherwise transferred with the
Committee's prior written consent, only by the assignee consented to by the
Committee.

                  (b) Unless the Committee's prior written consent is obtained
(which consent may be obtained at the time an Option is granted), and provided
the transaction does not violate the requirements of Rule 16b-3, no Shares
acquired by an Officer, as that term is defined under Rule 16b-3, or Director
pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be sold, assigned, pledged or
otherwise transferred prior to the expiration of the six-month period following
the date on which the Option was granted.

         12. ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

                  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the
Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares unless it is advised by
counsel of its selection that it may do so without violation of the applicable
Federal and State laws pertaining to the issuance of securities, and may require
any stock so issued to bear a legend, may give its transfer agent instructions,
and may take such other steps, as in its judgment are reasonably required to
prevent any such violation.

                  (b) As a condition of any sale or issuance of Shares upon
exercise of any Option, the Committee may require such agreements or
undertakings, if any, as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable to assure
compliance with any law, regulation, agreement or other applicable restriction,
including, but not limited to, the following:

                           (i) a representation and warranty by the Optionee to
the Company, at the time any Option is exercised, that he is acquiring the
Shares to be issued to him for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in
connection with, the distribution of any such Shares; and




                                       10
<PAGE>

                           (ii) (A) an agreement and undertaking to comply with
all of the terms, restrictions and provisions set forth in any then applicable
shareholders' agreement relating to the Shares, including without limitation any
restrictions on transferability, any rights of first refusal and any option of
the Company to "call" or purchase such Shares under then applicable agreements,
and (B) any restrictive legend or legends, to be embossed or imprinted on Share
certificates, that are, in the discretion of the Committee, necessary or
appropriate to comply with the provisions of any securities law or other
restriction applicable to the issuance of the Shares.

         13. ADMINISTRATION.

                  (a) This Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which
shall consist of not less than two Directors, each of whom shall be Outside
Directors. The Committee shall have all of the powers of the Board with respect
to this Plan. Any member of the Committee may be removed at any time, with or
without cause, by resolution of the Board, and any vacancy occurring in the
membership of the Committee may be filled by appointment by the Board.

                  (b) Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee
shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to: (i) grant Options; (ii)
determine the Fair Market Value per Share; (iii) determine the exercise price
per Share at which Non-Statutory Stock Options may be exercised; (iv) determine
the Optionees to whom, and the time or times at which, Options shall be granted;
(v) determine the number of Shares subject to each Option; (vi) determine the
terms, conditions and provisions of each Option granted (which need not be
identical); (vii) with the consent of the holder thereof, modify or amend each
Option; (viii) defer (with the consent of the Optionee) or accelerate the
exercise date of any Option; and (ix) make all other determinations deemed
necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.

                  (c) The Committee may, from time to time, adopt rules and
regulations for carrying out the purposes of this Plan. The Committee's
determinations and its interpretation and construction of any provision of this
Plan or any Option shall be final and conclusive, and binding upon all Optionees
and any other holders of any Options granted under this Plan.

                  (d) Any and all decisions or determinations of the Committee
shall be made either: (i) by a majority vote of the members of the Committee at
a meeting of the Committee; or (ii) without a meeting by the unanimous written
approval of the members of the Committee.

                  (e) The Board may reserve to itself the power to grant Options
to Employees or Directors or directors of any Subsidiary who are not Covered
Employees. If and to the extent that the Board reserves such powers, then all
references herein to the Committee shall refer to the Board with respect to the
Options granted by the Board.

                  (f) No Member of the Committee, or any Officer or Director,
shall be personally liable for any act or omission made in good faith in
connection with this Plan.

                  (g) The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any
regulatory body having jurisdiction over the grant of options under the Plan,
which authority is deemed by the Company's legal 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.



                                       11
<PAGE>

         14. WITHHOLDING OR DEDUCTION FOR TAXES. If at any time specified herein
for the making of any issuance or delivery of any Option or Common Stock to any
Optionee, any law or regulation of any governmental authority having
jurisdiction in the premises shall require the Company to withhold, or to make
any deduction for, any taxes or take any other action in connection with the
issuance or delivery then to be made, such issuance or delivery shall be
deferred until such withholding or deduction shall have been provided for by the
Optionee or beneficiary, or other appropriate action shall have been taken, as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

         15. INTERPRETATION.

                  (a) This Plan shall be administered and interpreted so that
all Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan will qualify as Incentive
Stock Options under Section 422 of the Code. If any provision of this Plan
should be held invalid for the granting of Incentive Stock Options or illegal
for any reason, such determination shall not affect the remaining provisions
hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had
never been included in this Plan.

                  (b) As it is the intent of the Company that the Plan comply in
all respects with Rule 16b-3, any ambiguities or inconsistencies in construction
of the Plan shall be interpreted to give effect to such intention, and if any
provision of the Plan is found not to be in compliance with Rule 16b-3, such
provision shall be deemed null and void to the extent required to permit the
Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3. The Board and the Committee each may from time
to time adopt rules and regulations under, and amend, the Plan in furtherance of
the intent of the foregoing.

                  (c) This Plan shall be governed by the internal laws of the
State of Florida.

                  (d) Headings contained in this Plan are for convenience only
and shall in no manner be construed as part of this Plan or affect the meaning
or interpretation of any part of this Plan.

                  (e) Any reference to the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender
shall be a reference to such other gender as is appropriate.

         16. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. Either the Board or the
Committee may from time to time amend or terminate this Plan or any Option
without approval of the shareholders of the Company, unless shareholder approval
is required by Rule 16b-3, applicable stock exchange or quotation systems, or
applicable Code provisions; PROVIDED, however, that, except to the extent
provided in Section 9, no amendment or termination of this Plan or any Option
issued hereunder shall substantially impair any Option previously granted to any
Optionee without the consent of such Optionee. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Plan shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of its formal adoption
by the Company (the "Plan Termination"), provided however that, except to the
extent provided in Section 9, the Plan Termination shall not substantially
impair any Option previously granted to any Optionee without the consent of such
Optionee.



                                       12

         17. RIGHTS AS AN EMPLOYEE OR NON-EMPLOYEE. Neither the Plan nor any
Option granted pursuant thereto shall be construed to give any person the right
to remain in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate, or to affect
the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate such individual's
employment or service at any time with or without cause. The grant of an Option
shall not entitle the Optionee to, or disqualify the Optionee from,
participation in the grant of any other Option under the Plan or participation
in any other benefit plan maintained by the Company or any Affiliate.

         18. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The Plan shall be binding upon the
Company's successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of any
representative, executor, administrator, heir, or legatee of the Optionee.
