provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that it shall be
determined (as hereafter provided) that any payment or distribution by
FTD.COM or any of its affiliates to you or for your benefit, whether paid or
payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement,
policy, plan, program or arrangement, including without limitation any stock
option, performance share, performance unit, stock appreciation right or
similar right, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on or the
vesting or exercisability of any of the foregoing, would be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") (or any successor provision thereto), by reason of being
considered "contingent on a change in ownership or control" of FTD.COM within
the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto),
or to any similar tax imposed by state or local law, or any interest or
penalties with respect to such taxes, then such payments and benefits to be
paid or provided shall be reduced to an amount (but not below zero) that
would result in the maximum possible net after tax receipts to you from all
such payments or distributions (determined by reference to the present value
determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code (or any
successor provision thereto) of all such payments net of all such taxes, or
any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes, determined by applying
the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code (or any successor
provision thereto) that applied to your taxable income for the immediately
preceding taxable year) (the "Reduced Amount"). The fact that your payments
or benefits may be reduced by reason of the limitations contained in this
paragraph will not of itself limit or otherwise affect any of your other
rights other than pursuant to this Agreement. If it is determined that you
should receive a Reduced Amount, FTD.COM will provide you notice to that
effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof. You will then be
entitled to designate the payments or benefits to be so reduced in order to
give effect to this paragraph. In the event that you fail to make such
designation within ten business days of notification of the reduction in
payments or benefits is required pursuant to this paragraph, FTD.COM may
effect such reduction in any manner it deems appropriate.

thereof. You and FTD.COM consent to jurisdiction and venue in any federal or
state court in the City of Chicago. This Agreement and the accompanying
EXHIBITS A and B state our entire agreement and understanding regarding your
employment with FTD.COM. This agreement may be amended only by a written
document signed by both you and FTD.COM. No delay or failure to exercise any
right under this Agreement waives such rights under the Agreement. If any

unenforceable, then that provision shall only be ineffective to such extent
of its invalidity or unenforceability, and the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement shall not be affected. Any controversy
relating to this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in Chicago,
Illinois in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
