SCHEDULE A] (the “Prior Employment Agreement”).

AGREEMENTS

NOW, THEREFORE, to induce
the Executive to remain in the employ of the Company and its subsidiaries, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1.             Employment.

During the Term of
Employment (as defined in Section 2 hereof), the Executive shall serve as
[SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE A]. The Executive shall perform and assume all duties
and responsibilities customary to such position and shall devote all of
[her/his] business time and energies thereto. In carrying out such duties and
responsibilities, the Executive shall report to, and be subject to the
direction of, the [SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE A] and the Board of Directors of the
Company (the “Board”).

2.             Term.

The Term of
Employment under this Agreement shall commence as of the date of this Agreement
and shall continue at the will of the Company and the Executive (the “Term
of

Employment”). Either party may
terminate the Executive’s employment at any time and for any reason.

3.             Base Salary.

The Company shall
pay the Executive, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices
applicable to salaried employees, an annualized base salary at the rate in
effect on the date of this Agreement, as the same may from time to time be
increased or decreased at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of
the Board (the “Compensation Committee”).

4.             Incentive Awards.

a)             The Executive shall
participate in the Company’s annual incentive plan for senior-level executives
as in effect from time to time, subject to the performance standards set by the
Compensation Committee. Payment of any annual incentive award shall be made at
the same time that such awards are paid to other senior-level executives of the
Company. The Executive’s annual incentive award target shall be set by the
Compensation Committee.

b)            The Executive shall be
eligible to receive grants under the Company’s long-term incentive plans as in
effect from time to time; provided, however, that the size, type and other
terms and conditions of any such grant to the Executive shall be determined by
the Compensation Committee.

5.             Benefits, Fringes
and Perquisites.

The Executive
shall be entitled to participate in all employee pension and welfare benefit,
fringe benefit and perquisite plans and programs made available to the Company’s
senior-level executives as in effect from time to time.

6.             Vacation.

The Executive
shall be entitled to vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy
applicable to its senior-level executives. Vacations shall be arranged in order
that they not materially interfere with the normal functioning of the Company’s
business activities or the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder.

7.             Business Expenses.

The Company shall
reimburse the Executive for any ordinary, necessary and reasonable business
expenses that the Executive incurs in connection with the performance of
[her/his] duties under this Agreement, in accordance with the Company’s policy
regarding the reimbursement of business expenses.

8.             Termination of
Employment.

a)             Death or
Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate upon the Executive’s
Death, and Company may terminate the Executive’s employment due to Disability

 2
 

(as defined
herein). If, during the Term of Employment, the Executive’s employment is terminated
due to Death or Disability, the Executive (or Executive’s estate or legal
representative, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive:

i)              Executive’s base
salary through the date of such termination of employment (the “Termination
Date”) at the rate in effect at the time thereof;

ii)             an amount, payable at
the same time that annual incentive awards for the year in which the Executive’s
employment so terminates are paid to senior-level executives of the Company,
equal to the product of the Executive’s annual incentive award target for such
year and a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year
through the date of such termination of employment, and the denominator of
which is 365; provided, however, that no such amount shall be paid to the
Executive (or to Executive’s estate or legal representative, as the case may
be) if annual incentive awards for such year are not paid to senior-level
executives of the Company generally;

iii)            reimbursement for
expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the Company’s policy but
not reimbursed prior to the date of such termination of employment;

iv)           any vested deferred
base salary and vested annual incentive awards (including, without limitation,
interest or other credits on such vested deferred amounts); and

v)            any other compensation
or benefits that may be owed or provided to the Executive in accordance with
the terms and conditions of any applicable plans and programs of the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall
mean the Executive’s inability, by reason of illness or other physical or
mental disability, to perform the principal duties required by the position
held by the Executive at the inception of such illness or disability, for any
consecutive 180-day period. A determination of Disability shall be subject to
the certification of a qualified medical doctor agreed to by the Company and
the Executive or, in the Executive’s incapacity to designate a doctor, the
Executive’s legal representative. If the Company and the Executive cannot agree
on the designation of a doctor, then each party shall nominate a qualified
medical doctor and the two doctors shall select a third doctor, and the third
doctor shall make the determination as to Disability.

b)            For Cause. The Company
may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause (as defined herein) if the
Board determines that Cause exists and serves written notice of such
termination to the Executive. If, during the Term of Employment, the Company
terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, all of the Executive’s annual
incentive awards, long-term incentive awards, stock options and other stock or
long-term incentive grants which are not then vested or not then exercisable
shall be canceled as of the date of the Board’s written notice of termination,
and the Executive shall be entitled to receive:

 3
 

i)              Executive’s base
salary through the date of such termination of employment at the rate in effect
at the time thereof;

ii)             reimbursement for
expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the Company’s policy but
not reimbursed prior to the date of such termination of employment;

iii)            any vested deferred
base salary and vested deferred annual incentive awards (including, without
limitation, interest or other credits on such vested deferred amounts but not
including unvested annual incentive awards or amounts payable for the year in
which the Board’s written notice of termination for Cause is made, or unvested
annual incentive awards or amounts payable after the Board’s written notice of
termination for Cause is made); and

iv)           any other compensation
or benefits that may be owed or provided to the Executive in accordance with
the terms and conditions of any applicable plans and programs of the Company.

The Executive shall
be entitled to receive no other compensation or benefits, whether pursuant to
this Agreement or otherwise, except as and to the extent required by law.

For purposes of
this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean one or more of the following:

(I)            the material violation
of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any written agreements
the Executive may from time to time have with the Company (after 30 days
following written notice from the Board specifying such material violation and
Executive’s failure to cure or remedy such material violation within such
30-day period);

(II)           inattention to or
failure to perform Executive’s assigned duties and responsibilities competently
for any reason other than due to Disability (after 30 days following written
notice from the Board specifying such inattention or failure, and Executive’s
failure to cure or remedy such inattention or failure within such 30-day
period);

(III)         engaging in activities or
conduct injurious to the reputation of the Company or its affiliates including,
without limitation, engaging in immoral acts which become public information or
repeatedly conveying to one person, or conveying to an assembled public group,
negative information concerning the Company or its affiliates;

(IV)         commission of an act of
dishonesty, including, but not limited to, misappropriation of funds or any
property of the Company;

(V)           commission by the
Executive of an act which constitutes a misdemeanor (involving an act of moral
turpitude) or a felony;

 4
 

(VI)         the material violation of
any of the Policies referred to in Section 9 hereof (after 30 days following
written notice from the Board specifying such failure, and the Executive’s
failure to cure or remedy such inattention or failure within such 30-day
period);

(VII)        refusal to perform the
Executive’s assigned duties and responsibilities or other insubordination
(after 30 days following written notice from the Board specifying such refusal
or insubordination, and the Executive’s failure to cure or remedy such refusal
or insubordination within such 30-day period); or

(VIII)       unsatisfactory performance
of duties by the Executive as a result of alcohol or drug use by the Executive.

c)             Without Cause.
The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment without Cause. If, during
the Term of Employment, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment
without Cause, other than due to Death or Disability, then in lieu of any
amount otherwise payable under this Agreement, or as damages for termination of
Executive’s employment without Cause, the Executive shall be entitled to
receive:

i)              (Amended March 9, 2005) A cash severance payment (reduced by
any applicable payroll or other taxes required to be withheld) equal to the sum
of the Executive’s annual salary for the current year plus the Prorated Bonus
Payment (as defined hereafter). The Prorated Bonus Payment shall equal the
product of (x) the Executive’s annual incentive award target for the current
year and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such
year through the date of such termination of employment, and the denominator of
which is 365. The severance payment
shall be payable in a lump sum amount beginning within thirty (30) days of the
date of the Board’s written notice of termination without Cause. If the
notice of termination is given prior to the determination of the Executive’s
salary or annual incentive award target for the year in which the notice of
termination is given, then the amounts shall be based on the annual salary for
the prior year and the greater of the annual incentive award target for the
prior year or the actual annual incentive award earned by the Executive for the
prior year. The current year shall be (A) for purposes of determining the
Executive’s annual salary, the year then generally used by the Company for
setting salaries for senior-level executives (currently April 1 through
the following March 31), and (B) for purposes of determining annual
incentive award targets , the fiscal year then generally used by the Company
for setting annual incentive award targets for senior-level executives, in
which the Board gives the Executive written notice of termination, and the
prior year shall be the twelve-month period immediately preceding the current
year;

ii)             Reimbursement for
expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the Company’s policy but
not reimbursed prior to the date of such termination of employment;

 5
 

iii)            Any vested deferred
base salary and vested deferred annual incentive awards (including, without
limitation, interest or other credits on such vested deferred amounts); and

iv)           Any other compensation
or benefits that may be owed or provided to the Executive in accordance with
the terms and conditions of any applicable plans and programs of the Company.

(Amended March 9, 2005) Employee stock options, restricted
stock and deferred stock units (and other stock awards) are governed by the
terms of the grant documents and will terminate in accordance therewith and are
only exercisable to the extent provided therein. The payment of the severance
payment (calculated in Section 8.c.i.) as well as all other payments and
benefits provided by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be
conditioned on the following: (i) Executive’s continued compliance with the
non-competition and confidentiality provisions provided herein; (ii) the
Executive’s execution of a full release and settlement of any and all claims
against the Company; and (iii) the Executive’s execution of a non-disparagement
agreement and continued compliance therewith.

d)            Voluntary
Termination. If, during the Term of Employment, the Executive terminates
[her/his] employment other than due to Retirement, the Executive shall be
entitled to receive:

i)              Executive’s base
salary through the date of such termination of employment at the rate in effect
at the time thereof;

ii)             reimbursement for
expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the Company’s policy but
not reimbursed prior to the date of such termination of employment;

iii)            any vested deferred
base salary and vested deferred annual incentive awards (including, without
limitation, interest or other credits on such vested deferred amounts); and

iv)           no other compensation
or benefits except as and to the extent required by law.

e)             Ineligibility for
Severance Plan Payments. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, Executive shall not be entitled to any payment under any of
the Company’s severance plans, programs or arrangements.

f)
            (Added March 9, 2005)
Payment of Deferred Compensation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, to the extent the Executive is deemed a “key employee” for
purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
notwithstanding any contrary provision which exists in any of the Company’s
deferred compensation plans, any distribution of deferred compensation to the

 6
 

Executive
will be delayed for a period of 6 months after the Termination Date as required
by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

9.             Company Policies.

The Executive
shall strictly follow and adhere to all written policies of the Company which
are not inconsistent with this Agreement or applicable law including, without
limitation, securities laws compliance (including, without limitation, use or
disclosure of material nonpublic information, restrictions on purchases and
sales of Company stock, and reporting requirements), conflicts of interest
(including, without limitation, doing business with the Company or its
affiliates without the prior approval of the Board), and employee harassment.

10.           Confidentiality.

The Executive will
not at any time (whether during or after Executive’s employment with the
Company) disclose or use for Executive’s own benefit or purposes, or for the
benefit or purpose of any other person, firm, partnership, joint venture,
association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise,
any trade secrets, information, data, or other confidential information
relating to customers, employees, job applicants, services, development
programs, prices, costs, marketing, trading, investment, sales activities,
promotion, processes, systems, credit and financial data, financing methods,
plans, proprietary computer software, request for proposal documents, or the
business and affairs of the Company generally, or of any affiliate of the
Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to information
which is generally known to the industry or the public other than as a result
of the Executive’s breach of this covenant. The Executive agrees that upon
termination of [her/his] employment with the Company for any reason, [she/he]
will return to the Company immediately all memoranda, books, papers, plans,
information, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom
(whether in written, printed or electronic form), in any way relating to the
business of the Company and its affiliates.

The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s
remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of
this Section would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the
Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in
addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall
be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a
temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other
equitable remedy which may then be available.

11.           Covenant Not to
Compete.

a)             In General. The
Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment with the Company and for a
period of one (1) year after the termination of such employment for whatever
reason (the “Non-Compete Period”), [she/he] shall not, anywhere in the
United States:

i)              act as an employee,
director, consultant, partner, principal, agent, representative, owner or
stockholder (other than as a stockholder of less than a one

 7
 

percent (1%) equity interest) for (1) any public
company that derives any revenue from any business line in which the Company
derives $25 million or more in annualized revenues as of the Termination Date
or from the principal business line in which the Executive was directly
involved immediately prior to the Termination Date (collectively, the “Business
Lines”) or (2) any private company that derives $25 million or more in
annualized revenues from any combination of one or more of the Business Lines;

ii)             solicit business
from, or perform services for, or induce others to perform services for, any
company or other business entity which at any time during the one (1) year
period immediately preceding the Termination Date was a client of the Company
or its affiliates; or

iii)            offer, or cause to be
offered, employment with any business, whether in corporate, proprietorship, or
partnership form or otherwise, either on a full-time, part-time or consulting
basis, to any person who was employed by the Company or its affiliates or for
whom the Company or its affiliates performed outplacement services, in either
case at any time during the one (1) year period immediately preceding the
Termination Date.

iv)           For purposes of this
Agreement, affiliates of the Company include subsidiaries 50% or more owned by
the Company and the Company’s franchisees and licensees.

b)            Consideration. The
consideration for the foregoing covenant not to compete, the sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, is the Company’s agreement to employ the
Executive and provide compensation and benefits pursuant to this Agreement.

c)             Equitable Relief
and Other Remedies. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s
remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of
this Section would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the
Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in
addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall
be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance,
temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other
equitable remedy which may then be available.

d)            Reformation. If
the foregoing covenant not to compete would otherwise be determined invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such court shall exercise
its discretion in reforming the provisions of this Section to the end that the
Executive be subject to a covenant not to compete, reasonable under the
circumstances, enforceable by the Company.

12.           Company Policies,
Plans and Programs.

Whenever any
rights under this Agreement depend on the terms of a policy, plan or program
established or maintained by the Company, any determination of these rights
shall be made on the basis of the policy, plan or program in effect at the time
as of which the determination is made. No reference in this Agreement to any
policy, plan or program

 8
 

established or maintained by the Company shall
preclude the Company from prospectively or retroactively changing or amending
or terminating that policy, plan or program or adopting a new policy, plan or
program in lieu of the then-existing policy, plan or program.

13.           Binding Agreement;
Successors.

a)             This Agreement shall
be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its
successors and assigns. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct
or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement to
assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to
the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company” shall
mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business
and/or assets as aforesaid.

b)            This Agreement shall be
binding up and shall inure to the benefit of the Executive and the Executive’s
personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors,
heirs, distributees, beneficiaries, devises and legatees. If the Executive
should die while any amounts are payable to [him/her] hereunder, all such
amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, beneficiary or
other designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive’s estate.

14.           Change In Control
Agreements.

Simultaneously
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company and the
Executive have executed and delivered a Change In Control Agreement (“C-I-C
Agreement”), which applies under the circumstances and during the period
described therein. If circumstances arise which cause both the C-I-C Agreement
and this Agreement to apply to the Company and the Executive, then, to the
extent of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the
C-I-C Agreement, the terms of the C-I-C Agreement alone shall apply. However,
if the C-I-C Agreement does not apply (as, for example, if there is no Change
in Control as described therein, or the C-I-C Agreement has expired, or the
C-I-C Agreement simply does not apply), then the provisions of this Agreement
shall control and be unaffected by the C-I-C Agreement.

15.           Notices.

For
the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided
for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
(i) on the date of delivery if delivered by hand, (ii) on the date of
transmission, if delivered by confirmed facsimile, (iii) on the first
business day following the date of deposit if delivered by guaranteed overnight
delivery service, or (iv) on the third business day following the date

validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall
be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to principles
of conflicts of laws.

17.           Entire Agreement;
Amendment.

This Agreement and the
C-I-C Agreement contain the entire agreement between the parties concerning the
subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings,
discussions, negotiations and undertakings, whether written or oral, between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No provisions of this
Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or discharged unless such amendment,
waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the
Executive and the Company. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise,
express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by
either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.

18.           Counterparts.

This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original but all of which will constitute one and the same
instrument.

19.           Non-Assignability.

This
Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall,
without the consent of the other, assign, or transfer this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder, except as provided in Section 13. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Executive’s right to receive payments hereunder
shall not be assignable or transferable, whether by pledge, creation of a
security interest or otherwise, other than a transfer by [her/his] will or
trust or by the laws of descent or distribution, and in the event of any
attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this paragraph the Company shall
have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred.

 10
 

20.           Resolution of
Disputes.

a)             The parties shall submit
any claim, demand, dispute, charge or cause of action (in any such case, a “Claim”)
arising out of, in connection with, or relating to this Agreement to binding
arbitration in conformance with the J*A*M*S/ENDISPUTE Streamlined Arbitration
Rules and Procedures or the J*A*M*S/ENDISPUTE Comprehensive Arbitration Rules
and Procedures, as applicable, but expressly excluding Rule 28 of the
J*A*M*S/ ENDISPUTE Streamlined Rules and Rule 33 of the J*A*M*S/ENDISPUTE
Comprehensive Rules, as the case may be. All arbitration procedures shall be
held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and shall be subject to the choice of law
provisions set forth in Section 16 of this Agreement.

b)            In the event of any
dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement for which any party is
seeking injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief, such
matter may be resolved by litigation. Accordingly, the parties shall submit
such matter to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida or, if jurisdiction is not available
therein, any other court located in Broward County, Florida, and hereby waive
any and all objections to such jurisdiction or venue that they may have. Each
party agrees that process may be served upon such party in any manner
authorized under the laws of the United States or Florida, and waives any
objections that such party may otherwise have to such process.

21.           No Setoff.

The
Company shall have no right of setoff or counterclaim in respect of any claim,
debt or obligation against any payment provided for in this Agreement.

22.           Non-Exclusivity of
Rights.

Nothing
in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future
participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program
provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or successors and for which
the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce such
rights as the Executive may have under any other agreements with the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or successors. Amounts which are vested benefits or
which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be payable in accordance with
such plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

23.           Withholding.

The Company may
withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state and
local taxes as are required to be withheld (with respect to amounts payable
hereunder or under any benefit plan or arrangement maintained by the Company)
pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

 11
 

24.           Invalidity of
Provisions.

In
the event that any provision of this Agreement is adjudicated to be invalid or
unenforceable under applicable law in any jurisdiction, the validity or
enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof shall be unaffected as to
such jurisdiction and such adjudication shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent that
any provision of this Agreement is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable
because it is overbroad, that provision shall not be void but rather shall be
limited to the extent required by applicable law and enforced as so limited. The
parties expressly acknowledge and agree that Sections 11 and 24 are
reasonable in view of the parties’ respective interests.

25.           Non-Waiver
of Rights.

The
failure by the Company or the Executive to enforce at any time any of the
provisions of this Agreement or to require at any time performance by the other
party of any of the provisions hereof shall in no way be construed to be a
waiver of such provisions or to affect either the validity of this Agreement,
or any part hereof, or the right of the Company or the Executive thereafter to enforce
each and every provision in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

PLEASE NOTE: BY SIGNING THIS
AGREEMENT, THE EXECUTIVE IS HEREBY CERTIFYING THAT THE EXECUTIVE (A) HAS

1.                                       We
have read Sections 2.1, 3.1 and 3.3 of the Indenture and the definitions
therein relating hereto, reviewed the resolutions of the Board of Directors of
the Company adopted on February 16 and 17, 2006 (attached as Exhibit B to the
Secretary’s Certificate of even date herewith), the Actions of the Authorized
Officers of May 9, 2006 (attached as Exhibit C to the Secretary’s Certificate
of even date herewith), conferred with executive officers of the Company and,
in our opinion, made such other examinations and investigations as are
necessary to enable us to express an informed opinion as to whether Sections 2.1,
3.1 and 3.3 of the Indenture have been complied with.

2.                                       Based
on the above-described examinations and investigations, in our opinion, all
conditions precedent relating to the authentication and delivery of the Notes,
including those conditions under Sections 2.1, 3.1 and 3.3 of the Indenture,
have been complied with.

3.                                       The

4.                                       In

hereby authorized and requested to authenticate the Notes and to deliver such
