    Plan Duration.  The
Compensation Committee reserves the right to amend, change and/or terminate this
Plan at any time, without prior notice.

    

    No Employment
Contract.  The Plan does not create, nor should it be construed
to constitute, a contract of employment between the Company and any

continued employment with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the
Company in any capacity.

    Plan
Interpretation.  Any revisions to the Plan must be approved by
the Compensation Committee.  If there is any ambiguity as to the
meaning of any terms or provisions of the Plan, the Compensation Committee’s
interpretation or determination will be final and binding.  The
altering, inflating and/or inappropriate manipulation of performance/sales
results or any other infraction of recognized ethical business standards may
subject the Participant to disciplinary action up to and including termination
of employment.  In addition, any incentive compensation as provided by
the Plan to which the Participant would otherwise be entitled may be
revoked.

     

    General
Conditions.  The Plan, and the transactions and payments
hereunder shall, in all respects, be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of Duval County, Florida.  Each provision of
the Plan is severable, and if any provision is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not, in any way, be affected or impaired thereby.

     

    Compliance with Section
409A.  It is intended that the terms of this Plan, including
any ambiguous terms, be interpreted in a manner consistent with Code Section
409A (‘Section 409A’).  Any provision that would cause this Plan, or
any payment hereunder, to fail to satisfy Section 409A shall have no force or
effect until amended to comply with Section 409A, which amendment may be
retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be liable to
Participant for, or with respect to, any taxes, penalties, or interest which may
be imposed upon Participant pursuant to Section 409A.

    

    Six-Month Delay.  If
it is determined that (a) Participant is a ‘specified employee,’ as defined in
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the regulations and other guidance promulgated
thereunder and any elections made by the Company in accordance therewith, and
(b) such payments constitute a distribution of deferred compensation (within the
