II.        NON-QUALIFIED
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

1.         Grant
of Option.  The Company hereby grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Optionee”),
an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, at
the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject
to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.  The terms and conditions of this
Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) are subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan.

 

2.         Exercise
of Option.

 

(a)          Right
to Exercise.  The Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Plan and this Option Agreement.

 

     

     

    

 

(b)          Method
of Exercise.  The Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit
A (the “Exercise Notice”) which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares with
respect to which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company.

 

The Option shall be
deemed exercised when the Company receives (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with this Option Agreement)
from the Optionee (or other person entitled to exercise the Option), (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the
Option is exercised, (iii) payment of any required tax withholding; and (iv) any other documents required by this Option Agreement
or the Exercise Notice.  Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment permitted by this Option
Agreement.  Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by
the Optionee and permitted under applicable law, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse.  Until the Shares
are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company),
no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding
the exercise of the Option.  The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is
exercised.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the
Shares are issued, except as provided in the Plan.

 

Exercise of the Option
in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares thereafter available for sale under the Option, by the number
of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

 

(c)          Legal
Compliance.  No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option unless such issuance and such exercise
complies with applicable laws (including rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and the requirements of any governmental
or regulatory agency or stock exchange.  Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered
transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.

 

(d)          Vesting
Acceleration.  Upon Optionee’s Termination by reason of death or Disability, the Option as of the date of Termination
shall vest to the extent not fully vested and immediately become exercisable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in this Option Agreement or the Plan, the Option shall vest to the extent not fully vested and immediately become exercisable
as expressly provided for in any employment agreement or other written agreement between Optionee and the Company in effect as
of the date hereof and during the term of the Option.

 

(e)          Limitations
on Exercises.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Option Agreement, this Option shall not
be exercisable or exchangeable by the Optionee hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Optionee or any of its Affiliates
(as defined in the 1934 Act) would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the outstanding
Common Stock.  To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Option shall be exercisable
or exchangeable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Optionee or any of its
Affiliates) and of which such securities shall be exercisable (as among all such securities owned

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

by the Optionee) shall, subject
to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise
or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise or exchange this Option pursuant to this paragraph shall have
any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability
or exchangeability.  For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations
(including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms
of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum
Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly
give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Optionee
of this Option. The Company may not amend or waive this paragraph without the approval of the Company’s board of directors;
provided that the Optionee must abstain from participating in such approval in the event Optionee is a director at such time. For
any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Optionee, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm
orally and in writing to the Optionee the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion
or exercise or exchange of convertible or exercisable or exchangeable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation,
pursuant to this Option Agreement.

 

3.         Term.  Optionee
may only exercise the Option to the extent vested during the term of the Option.  The term of the Option commences on
the Date of Grant specified above in Part I. Notice of Stock Option Grant and shall terminate upon the earliest to occur:

 

(a)       Ninety
(90) days following Optionee’s Termination for any reason other than his/her Retirement, death, Disability or for Cause (as
defined below);

 

(b)       Immediately
upon Optionee’s Termination for Cause;

 

(c)       One
hundred eighty (180) days following Optionee’s Termination by reason of his/her Retirement or death;

 

(d)       Three
hundred sixty-five (365) days following Optionee’s Termination by reason of his/her Disability; or

 

(e)       The
Expiration Date specified above in Part I. Notice of Stock Option Grant.

 

For purposes hereof,
the term “Cause” shall have the same meaning as “cause” or “for cause” set forth in
any employment, consulting, or other agreement for the performance of services between Optionee and the Company or any Affiliate
thereof or, in the absence of any such agreement or any such definition in such agreement, such term shall mean (i) the failure
by Option to perform, in a reasonable manner, his/her duties as assigned by the Company or an Affiliate thereof, (ii) any violation
or breach by Optionee of his/her employment, consulting or

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

other similar agreement with the Company or an Affiliate thereof, if
any, (iii) any violation or breach by Optionee of any non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure and/or other similar agreement
with the Company or an Affiliate thereof, (iv) any act by Optionee of dishonesty or bad faith with respect to the Company or an
Affiliate thereof, (v) use of alcohol, drugs or other similar substances in a manner that adversely affects Optionee’s work
performance, or (vi) the commission by Optionee of any act, misdemeanor, or crime reflecting unfavorably upon Optionee or the Company
or an Affiliate thereof. The good faith determination by the Committee or the Board, as applicable, of whether Optionee was Terminated
by the Company for “Cause” shall be final and binding for all purposes hereunder.

 

Upon its termination,
the Option shall have no further force or effect and Optionee shall have no further rights under the Option or to any Shares which
have not been purchased pursuant to prior valid exercise of the Option.

 

4.         Method
of Payment.  Payment of the Exercise Price shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any combination of:

 

(a)          cash;

 

(b)          check;

 

(c)          by
the delivery of proceeds from the sale of Shares pursuant to broker-assisted “cashless” exercise procedures and guidelines
approved by the Board or the Committee, as applicable;

 

(d)          by
the withholding of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option; or

 

(e)          by
the surrender and delivery to the Company of shares of common stock of the Company owned by the Optionee to the extent owned for
such period of time, if any, required to avoid a charge to the earnings of the Company and/or an increase in the compensation expense
incurred by the Company related to this Option for financial accounting purposes.

 

5.         Non-Transferability
of Option.  This Option (in whole or in part) is transferable by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
or pursuant to a domestic relations order.  This Option (in whole or in part) also may be transferable to a “family
member” of Optionee upon written consent of the Company if the transfer is a bona fide gift and at the time of transfer,
a Form S-8 registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) is available
for the exercise of the Option and the subsequent resale of the underlying Shares after such transfer.  In addition,
Optionee may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company, designate
a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionee, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.  For
purposes hereof, the term “family member” shall have the meaning assigned to it in the general instructions of a Form
S-8 registration statement (or any successor form adopted under the Securities Act).

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

6.          Tax
Obligations.

 

(a)          Tax
Consequences.  Optionee has reviewed with Optionee’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign
tax consequences of this Option.  Optionee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations
of the Company or any of its agents.  Optionee understands that Optionee (and not the Company) shall be responsible for
any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Option Agreement and the Plan.

 

(b)          Withholding
Taxes.  Optionee may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition
of Shares under this Option by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation
paid to the Optionee by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company
to withhold Shares from the Shares otherwise issuable to Optionee as a result of the exercise or acquisition of stock under this
Option; provided, however, that no Shares are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld
by law; or (iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered Shares. Optionee agrees to make appropriate arrangements with
the Company for the satisfaction of all federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable
to the Option exercise.  Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse
to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.  The preceding to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company, in its sole discretion, and in compliance with any applicable laws and/or the requirements or any
governmental or regulatory agency or stock exchange, may withhold from the Shares otherwise deliverable to Optionee upon the exercise
of this Option a number of whole Shares having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company as of the date the Optionee recognizes
income with respect to those Shares, not in excess of the amount of minimum tax required to be withheld by law (or such other amount
as may be necessary to avoid adverse financial accounting treatment). Any adverse consequences to Optionee arising in connection
with such Shares withholding procedure shall be the Optionee’s sole responsibility.

 

7.          Entire
Agreement: Governing Law.  The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by means of
a writing signed by the Company and Optionee.  This Option Agreement shall be construed and enforced under the laws of
the State of Florida, without regard to choice of law provisions thereof.

 

8.          No
Obligation to Employ.  Optionee acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Option Agreement or the Plan shall confer
or shall be deemed to confer upon Optionee any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other business relationship
with, the Company or Affiliate of the Company.

 

9.          Section
409A.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Option Agreement is intended to be interpreted and applied
so this Option Agreement (including the Option) either shall be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or shall
comply with the requirements of such provision.  Furthermore, the Company and its respective officers, directors, employees
or agents make no guarantee that this Option Agreement complies

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

with, or is exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A of the
Code and none of the foregoing shall have any liability for the failure of this Option Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from,
the provisions of Code Section 409A.  The parties hereto agree to make such amendments from time to time to the terms
and conditions of this Option Agreement as are necessary to ensure that this Option Agreement complies with the terms of and in
a manner permitted by Section 409A of the Code and any regulation or other official guidance promulgated thereunder.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants as follows: 

(a) This Amendment and the Credit Agreement as modified hereby constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and
(b) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 (b) As of the date hereof and after giving effect to the terms of this Amendment, (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set
forth in the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the date hereof (or, if any such representation or
warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date). 
 4. Reference to and
Effect on the Credit Agreement. 
 (a) Upon the effectiveness hereof, each reference to the Credit Agreement in the Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. 
 (b) The Credit
Agreement and all other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. 

(c) Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of
any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith. 

(d) On the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall make such reallocations of each Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Revolving Credit Exposure under the Credit Agreement as are necessary in order that the Revolving Credit Exposure with respect to such Lender reflects such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit Exposure under
the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. Each Lender hereby waives any compensation by the Borrower of any 

  
 5 

 
and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender solely in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurodollar Loans and the reallocation described in this clause (d) and
occurring on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date that would otherwise be due to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (e) This Amendment is a “Loan Document” under (and as defined in) the Credit Agreement. 
 5. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 
 6. Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided
by law. Nothing in this Amendment shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Amendment against the Borrower or its properties in the
courts of any jurisdiction. 
 7. Headings. Section headings used in this Amendment are for convenience of reference
only, are not part of this Amendment and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment. 
 8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by fax or other electronic transmission (including, without limitation, PDF) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
