shall have the meanings set forth below:

                  2.1(a)   Liability. "Liability" means any direct or indirect
         indebtedness, guaranty, endorsement, claim, loss, damage, deficiency,
         cost, expense, obligation or responsibility, fixed or unfixed, known or
         unknown, asserted or unasserted, liquidated or unliquidated, secured or
         unsecured, of any of the Subsidiaries.

                  2.1(b)   Designated Liabilities. "Designated Liabilities"
         means all Liabilities of the Subsidiaries associated with operating
         expenses of the Subsidiaries for periods on or prior to the Closing
         Date but not paid on or prior to the Closing Date, including, but not
         limited to, Liabilities for rents, additional rents, taxes and other
         items payable under any lease, license, permit, contract or other
         agreement or arrangement relating to the Restaurants; maintenance;

         thereof); food and beverage (including alcoholic beverages) expenses;
         employee compensation and benefits; utilities; service and paper goods;
         cleaning supplies; and similar operating expense items. Designated
         Liabilities shall not include liability for unredeemed gift
         certificates. The amounts of such Liabilities shall, to the extent
         practicable, be prorated as of the Closing Date. If the amount of any
         of such items is not known on the Closing Date, the proration shall be
         made as soon as such actual amount becomes known. BGL and the Company
         agree to furnish each other with such documents and other records as
         shall be reasonably requested in order to confirm all proration
         calculations.

                  2.1(c)   Designated Assets. "Designated Assets" means the
         following assets of the Subsidiaries:

                  (i)      All cash, cash equivalents and other immediately
                  available funds;

                  (ii)     All accounts receivable;

                  (iii)    All vendor credits, claims, deposits and prepayments
                  other than deposits with utilities and landlords;

                  (iv)     All inventory (the amount of which shall be
                  determined by a physical inventory conducted by BGL and
                  Outback on a date as near as practicable to the Closing Date,
                  or by such other means as BGL and Outback may mutually agree).

         2.2      Post-Closing Adjustment. As soon as practicable after the
Closing Date, but in no event more than forty-five (45) days thereafter, Outback
shall determine and report in writing to BGL:

                  2.2(a)   the amount of all Designated Assets as of the Closing
         Date; and

                  2.2(b)   the amount of all Designated Liabilities as of the
         Closing Date which were not paid in full prior to the Closing Date.

                                       2
<PAGE>

         Upon receipt of such report, BGL (by notice to Outback as provided
herein) shall have a period of ten (10) days in which to object in writing to
any portion or item of such report. In the event no objection is timely made,
Outback's report shall be final and binding on the parties. If timely objection
is made, the chief financial officers of Outback Steakhouse, Inc. and BGL shall
meet and attempt to agree on the items to which objection was made. If such
persons cannot agree within thirty (30) days from the date of written objection,
the items on which agreement has not been reached shall be submitted to a
mutually acceptable independent accounting firm for a resolution of such items
and whose decision shall be final and binding on the parties. If Outback and BGL
are unable to agree on the choice of an independent accounting firm, they will
select a nationally recognized firm by lot (after excluding any accounting firms
that are not independent of the parties or their respective Affiliates). If the
parties submit any unresolved items to an accounting firm as provided in this
paragraph, Outback and BGL will share responsibility for the fees and expenses
of the accounting firm as follows:

                  (i)      if the accounting firm resolves all of the remaining
                  objections in favor of Outback, BGL will be responsible for
                  all of the fees and expenses of the accounting firm;

                  (ii)     if the accounting firm resolves all of the remaining
                  objections in favor of BGL, Outback will be responsible for
                  all of the fees and expenses of the accounting firm; and

                  (iii)    if the accounting firm resolves some of the remaining
                  objections in favor of Outback and some of the remaining
                  objections in favor of BGL, Outback and BGL will each be
                  responsible for a percentage of the fees and expenses of the
                  accounting firm, such percentage to be equal to the inverse of
                  the percentage that the dollar value of items resolved in
                  favor of such person bears to the total dollar value of
                  disputed items.

         If, as finally determined, the aggregate amount described in SUBSECTION
2.2(A) above exceeds the amount of SUBSECTION 2.2(B), then the Company shall pay
such excess to BGL within ten (10) days of such final determination. If, as
finally determined, the amount described in SUBSECTION 2.2(B) exceeds the amount
of SUBSECTION 2.2(a), then BGL shall pay such excess to the Company within ten
(10) days of such final determination.

         2.3      Gift Certificates. The BG Persons acknowledge the sale of gift
certificates by the Subsidiaries. After the Closing Date, the Company or the
Subsidiaries shall invoice the BG Principals on a quarterly basis for the face
value of all gift certificates which were sold on or prior to the Closing Date
and which are redeemed during such quarter or for which the Company is required
to escheat. The BG Principals shall pay to the Company or the Subsidiaries,
within ten (10) days of receipt, the full amount of such invoices. The
obligations of the BG Principals for gift certificates sold on or prior to the
Closing Date shall not be subject to any limitation on their indemnification
obligations contained in SECTION 9 hereof.

3.       LIABILITIES

         3.1      BGL Obligations Not to be Assumed. As used in this Agreement,
the term "BGL Obligations" shall mean and include any direct or indirect
indebtedness, liability, guaranty, endorsement, claim, loss, damage, deficiency,
cost, expense, obligation or responsibility, fixed or unfixed, known or unknown,
asserted or unasserted, liquidated or unliquidated, secured or unsecured, of
BGL. The Company is not assuming any BGL Obligations.

with, or constitute a default or breach (or an event which, with notice or lapse
of time, or both, would constitute a default or breach) under, or will result in
the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in the
creation of any Lien (as defined in SECTION 4.12(A)) upon any of the assets of
BGL or any of the Subsidiaries under any term or provision of the Articles of
Incorporation, By-Laws or Operating Agreement of BGL or any Subsidiary or of any
material contract, commitment, understanding, arrangement, agreement or

or by which BGL or any Subsidiary or any of their respective assets or
properties may be bound or affected.

         4.4      Financial Statements. DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE ITEM 4.4 are true
and complete copies of the financial statements of each Subsidiary consisting of
(i) unaudited balance sheets of each Subsidiary as of December 31, for the two
(2) most recent calendar years (or since creation of the entity if not in
existence for such time), and the related unaudited statements of income and
cash flows for the years then ended, and (ii) an unaudited balance sheet of each
Subsidiary as of August 31, 2001 (the "Recent Balance Sheets"), and the related
unaudited statements of income and cash flows for the eight (8) months then
ended. All of such financial statements (including all notes and schedules
contained therein or annexed thereto) are true, complete and accurate as of
their respective dates, have been prepared in accordance with the books and
records of each Subsidiary, and fairly present the assets, liabilities and
financial position, the results of operations and cash flows of each Subsidiary
as of the dates and for the years and periods indicated.

         4.5      Tax Liabilities. BGL and each Subsidiary have timely filed or
caused to be filed all federal, state, county and local tax returns and reports
required to be filed by them by the Closing Date, including those with respect
to income, payroll, property, withholding, social security, unemployment,
franchise, excise and sales taxes. All such tax returns and reports were true
and correct in all material respects. BGL and the Subsidiaries have either paid
or caused to be paid in full all taxes that have become due as reflected on any
tax return or report required to be filed by them by the Closing Date and any
interest and penalties with respect thereto. The Subsidiaries have fully accrued
on their Recent Balance Sheets and established adequate reserves for all taxes
payable but not yet due; and have made cash deposits with appropriate
governmental authorities representing estimated payments of taxes, including
income taxes and employee withholding tax obligations required to be paid over
or withheld. No extension or waiver of any statute of limitations or time within
which to file any return has been granted to BGL or any Subsidiary with respect
to any tax. To the knowledge of the

                                       5
<PAGE>

BG Principals, no unsatisfied deficiency, delinquency or default for any tax,
assessment or governmental charge has been claimed, proposed or assessed against
BGL or any Subsidiary nor has BGL or any Subsidiary received written notice of
any such deficiency, delinquency or default. The BG Principals have no reason to
believe that any Subsidiary has or may have any tax liabilities other than those
of the Subsidiaries reflected on the Recent Balance Sheets, with any notes
thereto, and the related unaudited statements of income for the eight (8) months
ended August 31, 2001, and those of the Subsidiaries arising in the ordinary
course of business since the date of the Recent Balance Sheets.

         BGL shall have sole responsibility for filing or causing to be filed
all required tax returns for all Subsidiaries for all periods up to and
including the Closing Date. Outback shall assist BGL in preparing income tax
returns for the Subsidiaries and shall cooperate with BGL to the extent
necessary therefor, and BGL shall provide Outback with copies of all such
returns at least fifteen (15) days prior to filing.

         4.6      Accounts Receivable. All accounts receivable of the
Subsidiaries reflected on the Recent Balance Sheets, and as incurred in the
normal course of business since the date thereof represent arm's length
transactions actually made in the ordinary course of business; to the knowledge
of the BG Principals, are collectible (net of the reserves shown on the Recent
Balance Sheet for doubtful accounts) in the ordinary course of business without
the necessity of commencing legal proceedings; are subject to no counterclaim or
setoff; and are not in dispute.

         4.7      Inventory. All inventory of the Subsidiaries reflected on the
Recent Balance Sheets consisted of a quality and quantity usable and saleable in
the ordinary course of business, had a commercial value at least equal to the
value shown on the Recent Balance Sheets and was valued at cost. All inventory
purchased since the date of the Recent Balance Sheet consisted of a quality and
quantity usable and saleable in the ordinary course of business. All current
inventory of the Subsidiaries is located on the premises of the Restaurants and
is in an amount typically held at the Restaurants in the ordinary course of
business.

         4.8      Absence of Certain Changes. Except as and to the extent set

                  The parties acknowledge that the BG Principals are the tenant
         under the Lease Agreement referenced in (i) above. The parties shall
         use their best efforts to obtain the landlord's consent to an
         assignment of the rights and obligations of the BG Principals under
         said lease to St. Pete.

                  The Leased Real Property is the only real property presently
         used or occupied by the Subsidiaries. There are now in full force and
         effect duly issued certificates of occupancy permitting the Leased Real
         Property and improvements located thereon to be legally used and
         occupied as the same are now constituted. All of the Leased Real
         Property has rights of access to dedicated public highways, as provided
         in and subject to the Real Property Leases. To the knowledge of the BG
         Principals, no fact or condition exists which would prohibit or
         adversely affect the ordinary rights of access to and from the Leased
         Real Property from and to the existing highways and roads and there is
         no pending or threatened restriction or denial, governmental or
         otherwise, upon such ingress and egress. Except as set forth in
         DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE ITEM 4.12(C) to the BG Principals' knowledge, no
         public improvements have been commenced or are planned which in either
         case may result in special assessments against or otherwise materially
         adversely affect the Leased Real Property. To the BG Principals'
         knowledge, no portion of any of the Leased Real Property has been used
         as a landfill or for storage or landfill of hazardous or toxic
         materials. The BG Principals do not have notice or knowledge of any (i)
         Order requiring repair, alteration, or correction of any existing
         condition affecting the Leased Real Property or the systems or
         improvements thereon, (ii) condition or defect which could give rise to
         an order of the sort referred to in "(i)" above, or (iii) underground
         storage tanks, or any structural, mechanical, or other defects of
         material significance affecting the Leased Real Property or the systems
         or improvements thereon (including, but not limited to, inadequacy for
         normal use of mechanical systems or disposal or water systems at or
         serving the Leased Real Property).

         4.13     Insurance. Set forth in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE ITEM 4.13 is a
complete and accurate list of all policies of fire, liability, product
liability, workers compensation, health and other forms of insurance presently
in effect with respect to the business and properties of the Subsidiaries, true
and correct copies of which have heretofore been made available to Outback for
its inspection. No notice of cancellation or termination has been received with
respect to any such policy, and the BG Principals have no knowledge of any act
or omission of BGL or any Subsidiary that could result in cancellation of any
such policy prior to the Closing Date.

         4.14     Contracts and Commitments.

                  4.14(a)  Real Property Leases. Except for the Real Property
         Leases, the Subsidiaries have no leases of real property. The Real
         Property Leases are in full force and effect, to the knowledge of the
         BG Principals, no Subsidiary is in default of any term, covenant or
         obligation under any of the Real Property Leases, and no condition
         exists which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would
         constitute a default under any term, covenant or obligation of any
         Subsidiary under the Real Property Leases.

                  4.14(b)  Personal Property Leases. Except as set forth in
         DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE ITEM 4.14(B), the Subsidiaries have no leases of
         personal property ("Personal Property Leases") requiring total
         consideration or other expenditure in excess of one thousand dollars
         ($1,000) or requiring performance over a period of more than twelve
         (12) months from the Closing Date.

                  4.14(c)  Purchase Commitments. The Subsidiaries have no

         SCHEDULE ITEM 4.14(E), no Subsidiary is obligated under any loan
         agreement, promissory note, letter of credit, or other evidence of
         indebtedness as a signatory, guarantor or otherwise.

                  4.14(f)  Guarantees. Except as disclosed on DISCLOSURE
         SCHEDULE ITEM 4.14(F), no Subsidiary has guaranteed the payment or
         performance of any person, firm or corporation, agreed to indemnify any
         person or act as a surety, or otherwise agreed to be contingently or
         secondarily liable for the obligations of any person.

                  4.14(g)  Burdensome or Restrictive Agreements. No Subsidiary
         is a party to or bound by any agreement, deed, lease or other
         instrument which is so burdensome as to materially and adversely affect
         or impair the operation of the Restaurants. Without limiting the
         generality of the foregoing, none of BGL or any Subsidiary is a party
         to or bound by any agreement requiring it to assign any interest in any
         trade secret or proprietary information, or prohibiting or restricting
         it from competing in any business or geographical area or soliciting
         customers or otherwise restricting it from carrying on its business
         anywhere in the world.

                  4.14(h)  Other Material Contracts. Except as set forth in
         DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE ITEM 4.14(H) none of the Subsidiaries have a lease,
         license, contract or commitment of any nature involving consideration
         or other expenditure in excess of one thousand dollars ($1,000), or
         involving performance over a period of more than twelve (12) months
         from the Closing Date, or which is otherwise individually material to
         the operation of any Restaurant.

                  4.14(i)  No Default. To the knowledge of the BG Principals, no
         Subsidiary is in default under any lease, contract or commitment, nor
         has any event or omission occurred which through the passage of time or
         the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder or
         cause the acceleration of any of its obligations or result in the
         creation of any Lien on any of the assets owned, used or occupied by
         it. To the knowledge of the BG Principals, no third party is in default
         under any lease, contract or commitment to which any of the BG
         Principals, BGL or any Subsidiary is a party, nor has any event or
         omission occurred which, through the passage of time or the giving of
         notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder or give rise to
         an automatic termination, or the right of discretionary termination,
         thereof.

                  4.14(j)  Management Agreement. Effective as of the Closing
         Date, BGH, St. Pete and Safety Harbor shall terminate that certain

exists; and (f) there are no administrative charges or court complaints against

         4.16     Employee Benefit Plans.

         BGL and the Subsidiaries provided and/or identified on DISCLOSURE
SCHEDULE ITEM 4.16 each "employee benefit plan," as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA which (i) is subject to any provision of ERISA and (ii) is or was at any
time during the last 5 years maintained, administered or contributed to by any
BGL or any Subsidiary or any affiliate (as defined in Section 407(d)(7) of
ERISA) and covers any employee or former employee of any BGL or any Subsidiary
or any affiliate or under which any BGL or any Subsidiary or any affiliate has
any liability. Such plans are referred to collectively herein as the "Employee
Plans." None of the Employee Plans would, individually or collectively,
constitute an "employee pension benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(2) of
ERISA, including, without limitation, a "multiemployer plan," as defined in
Section 3(37) of ERISA, or a "defined benefit plan," as defined in Section 3(35)
and subject to Title IV of ERISA, and no Employee Plan is maintained in
connection with any trust described in Section 501(c)(9) of the Code

         Each Employee Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and
the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules and
regulations, including but not limited to, ERISA and the Code, which are
applicable to such Plan. No assets of any BGL or any Subsidiary are or could be
subject, directly or indirectly, to any liability or lien by reason of any
action or inaction taken with respect to any Employee Plan maintained by BGL or
any Subsidiary.

         BGL and the Subsidiaries have no liability in respect of
post-retirement health and medical benefits for retired employees of BGL or any
Subsidiary or any affiliate, determined using assumptions that are reasonable in
the aggregate, over the fair market value of any fund, reserve or other assets
segregated for the purpose of satisfying such liability (including for such
purposes any fund established pursuant to Section 401(h) of the Code). BGL and
the Subsidiaries have reserved their right to amend or terminate any Employee
Plan or other benefit arrangement providing health or medical benefits in
respect of any active employee of BGL or any Subsidiary under the terms of any
such plan and descriptions thereof given to employees. With respect to any
Employee Plans which are "group health plans" under Section 4980B of the Code
and Section 607(l) of ERISA, there has been timely compliance in all material
respects with all requirements imposed thereunder, and under Parts 6 and 7 of
Title I of ERISA generally, so that BGL and each Subsidiary and any affiliate
have no (and will not incur any) loss, assessment, tax penalty or other sanction
with respect to any such plan.

         There has been no amendment to, written interpretation or announcement
(whether or not written) by BGL or any Subsidiary or any affiliate relating to,
or change in employee participation or coverage under, any Employee Plan which
would increase the expense of maintaining such Employee Plan above the level of
the expense incurred in respect thereof for the fiscal year ended immediately
prior to the Closing Date.

         4.17     Employment Compensation. DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE ITEM 4.17
contains a true and correct list of all employees to whom any Subsidiary is
paying compensation, including bonuses and incentives, at an annual rate in
excess of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) for services rendered or
otherwise; and in the case of salaried employees such list identifies the
current annual rate of compensation for each employee and in the case of hourly
or commission employees identifies certain reasonable ranges of rates and the
number of employees falling within each such range.

         No action on the part of BGL or any Subsidiary prior to the Closing
Date, the contribution by BGL to the Company of the Contributed Assets pursuant
to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, shall directly or
indirectly result in any Liability (i) for severance payments or termination
benefits or (ii) by virtue of any state, federal or local law.

beverages) to the Restaurants for the last twelve (12) months (determined on the
aggregate basis of the total dollar amount of purchases) showing the total

months. The BG Principals do not have any knowledge or information of any facts
indicating, nor any other reason to believe, that any of the suppliers listed on

Restaurants after the Closing Date or will refuse to supply the business with

the Subsidiaries in the operation of the Restaurants as currently operated and
as operated immediately prior to the Closing Date.

         4.20     No Brokers or Finders. No BG Person nor any of their
respective managers, officers, employees, members or agents have retained,
employed or used any broker or finder in connection with the transaction
provided for herein or in connection with the negotiation thereof which will
give rise to any Liability on the part of any of Outback, the Company or any
Subsidiary.

         4.21     Termination of AmSouth Loan. The BG Persons represent and
warrant that no amounts are outstanding and covenant that no amounts will be
borrowed under that certain Master Note for Business and Commercial Loan dated

($1,000,000) (the AmSouth Loan") between AmSouth Bank, as lender, BGH, as
borrower, and St. Pete and Safety Harbor, as guarantors. The BG Persons further
covenant and agree that the AmSouth Loan will be terminated and cancelled in its
entirety within five (5) business days from the Closing Date.

         4.22     Disclosure. No representation or warranty by any BG Person in
this Agreement, nor any statement, certificate, schedule, document or exhibit
hereto furnished or to be furnished by or on behalf of any BG Person pursuant to
this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby,
contains or shall contain (when considered in light of the entirety of all
information provided by BGL to the Company or Outback) any misstatement of
material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements
contained therein not misleading. The BG Persons shall not be deemed to have
made to the Company or Outback any representation or warranty other than those
expressly set forth in SECTIONS 4.1 through 4.21 above. Without limiting the
generality of the forgoing, and notwithstanding any otherwise express
representation or warranty set forth in SECTIONS 4.1 through 4.21 above, the BG
Persons make no representation or warranty to either the Company or Outback with
respect to any projections, estimates, or budgets of the future revenues,
expenses, or expenditures, or future results of operations or prospects of the
business of the Subsidiaries heretofore delivered by BGL.

liabilities of any party to indemnify any other under this SECTION 9 with
respect to Claims relating to third parties shall be subject to the following
terms and conditions:

                  9.4(a)   Notice and Defense. The party or parties to be
         indemnified (whether one or more, the "Indemnified Party") will give
         the party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying
         Party") written notice of any such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party
         will undertake the defense thereof by representatives chosen by it.
         Failure to give such notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party's
         duty or obligations under this SECTION 9, except to the extent the
         Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. So long as the Indemnifying
         Party is defending any such Claim actively and in good faith, the
         Indemnified Party shall not settle such Claim. The Indemnified Party
         shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its representatives
         all records and other materials required by them and in the possession
         or under the control of the Indemnified Party, for the use of the
         Indemnifying Party and its representatives in defending any such Claim,
         and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such
         defense.

                  9.4(b)   Failure to Defend. If the Indemnifying Party, within
         a reasonable time after notice of any such Claim, fails to defend such
         Claim actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Party will (upon
         further notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or
         settlement of such Claim or consent to the entry of a judgment with
         respect to such Claim, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the
         Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter have no
         right to challenge the Indemnified Party's defense, compromise,
         settlement or consent to judgment.

                  9.4(c)   Indemnified Party's Rights. Anything in this SECTION
         9 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) if there is a reasonable
         probability that a Claim may materially and adversely affect the
         Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages or other
         money payments, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend,
         compromise or settle such Claim, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall
         not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or
         compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does
         not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant
         or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all
         Liability in respect of such Claim.

         9.5      Payment. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay the
Indemnified Party any amount due under this SECTION 9, which payment may be
accomplished in whole or in part, at the option of the Indemnified Party, by the
Indemnified Party setting off any amount owed to the Indemnifying Party by the
Indemnified Party. To the extent set-off is made by an Indemnified Party in
satisfaction or partial satisfaction of an

                                       16
<PAGE>

indemnity obligation under this SECTION 9 that is disputed by the Indemnifying
Party, upon a subsequent determination by final judgment not subject to appeal
that all or a portion of such indemnity obligation was not owed to the
Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall pay the Indemnifying Party the
amount which was set off and not owed together with interest from the date of
set-off until the date of such payment at an annual rate equal to the average
annual rate in effect as of the date of the set-off, on those three maturities
of United States Treasury obligations having a remaining life, as of such date,
closest to the period from the date of the set-off to the date of such judgment.
Upon judgment, determination, settlement or compromise of any third party Claim,
the Indemnifying Party shall pay promptly on behalf of the Indemnified Party,
and/or to the Indemnified Party in reimbursement of any amount theretofore
required to be paid by it, the amount so determined by judgment, determination,
settlement or compromise and all other Claims of the Indemnified Party with
respect thereto, unless in the case of a judgment an appeal is made from the
judgment. If the Indemnifying Party desires to appeal from an adverse judgment,
then the Indemnifying Party shall post and pay the cost of the security or bond
to stay execution of the judgment pending appeal. Upon the payment in full by
the Indemnifying Party of such amounts, the Indemnifying Party shall succeed to
the rights of such Indemnified Party, to the extent not waived in settlement,
against the third party who made such third party Claim.

         9.6      No Waiver. The closing of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver by any party of its rights to
indemnification hereunder, regardless of whether the party seeking
indemnification has knowledge of the breach, violation or failure of condition
constituting the basis of the Claim at or before the Closing, and regardless of
whether such breach, violation or failure is deemed to be "material".

         9.7.     Survival of Indemnification. The indemnification obligations
of the parties contained in this SECTION 9 shall survive the date of this
Agreement and the Closing Date for all Claims brought or demands for
indemnification made prior to the expiration of: (a) eighteen (18) months from
the Closing Date with respect to (i) any inaccuracy or breach or any
representation or warranty contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement
except that the indemnification obligations relating to the representations and
warranties regarding tax obligations shall survive until thirty (30) days after
the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for such tax obligations
or (ii) breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement and to be performed
on or prior to the Closing, or (b) two (2) years from the Closing Date for all
other Claims.

         9.8.     Determination of Losses. In determining an Indemnifying
Party's obligations under this Section 9 appropriate adjustment shall be made
for any insurance coverage paid to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. An
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to an Indemnified Party for any special,
consequential or similar damages with respect to any Loss subject to
indemnification under this Section 9, provided, however, that this sentence
shall not limit the amount payable by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified
Party for reimbursement of amounts paid or payable to a third party.

permitted herein.

         (c) The Options granted to employees under this Plan shall be in
addition to regular salaries, pension, life insurance or other benefits related
to their employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Plan nor
any Option granted under the Plan shall confer upon any person any right to
employment or continuance of employment by the Company or its Subsidiaries.

         (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, 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 corporation (as 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.

         (e) 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 under the Plan to any one Director,
Officer or employee shall not exceed 250,000 in any calendar year, and the
aggregate number of shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options may be
granted under the Plan shall not exceed 3,250,000.

7. OPTION PRICE. The option price per Share of any Option shall be any price
determined by the Committee or the Board but shall not be less than the par
value per Share; provided, however, that in no event shall the option price per
Share of any Incentive Stock Option or any Option granted pursuant to paragraph
(a) of Section 15 of this Plan be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares
underlying such Option on the date such Option is granted.

8. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. 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 aggregate option price of the Shares as to
which the Option is exercised has been made, and (iii) arrangements that are
satisfactory to the Committee or the board 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 Subsidiary employing the Optionee to withhold in accordance with
applicable Federal or state tax withholding requirements. The consideration to
be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the
method of payment, shall be determined by the Committee or the Board and may
consist of cash, certified or official bank check, money order, or if and to the
extent permitted by the Committee or the Board, (x) Shares held by the Optionee
for at least six (6) months (or such other Shares as the Company determines will
not cause the

                                       4
<PAGE>

Company to realize a financial accounting change), (y) the withholding of Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Option, or (z) by any form of cashless exercise
procedure approved by the Committee or the Board, or in such other consideration
as the Committee or the Board deems appropriate, or by a combination of the
above. The Committee or the Board in its sole discretion may accept a personal
check in full or partial payment of any Shares. If the exercise price is paid in
whole or in part with Shares, or through the withholding of Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Option, the value of the Shares surrendered shall be their Fair
Market Value on the date the Option is exercised. 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 cash
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 part with 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, and (iv)
contain such other terms as the Board in its sole discretion shall reasonably
require. 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. 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, except as expressly provided
in Section 10 hereof.

9. EXERCISABILITY OF OPTIONS. Any Option shall become exercisable in such
amounts, at such intervals and upon such terms as the Committee or the Board
shall provide in such Option, except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.

         (a) The expiration date of an Option shall be determined by the
Committee or the Board at the time of grant, but in no event shall an Option be
exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date of grant of the
Option.

         (b) Unless otherwise provided in any Option, each outstanding Option
shall become immediately fully exercisable in the event of a "Change in Control"
or in the event that the Committee or the Board exercises its discretion to
provide a cancellation notice with respect to the Option pursuant to Section
10(b) hereof. For this purpose, the term "Change in Control" shall mean the
approval by the shareholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger,
consolidation or other form of corporate transaction or series of transactions,
in each case, with respect to which persons who were the shareholders of the
Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation or
other transaction do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50% of the
combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of
the reorganized, merged or consolidated company's then outstanding voting
securities, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company (unless such reorganization,
merger, consolidation or other corporate transaction, liquidation, dissolution
or sale is subsequently abandoned).

         (c) The Committee or the Board may in its sole discretion accelerate
the date on which any Option may be exercised and may accelerate the vesting of
any Shares subject to any Option.

10. TERMINATION OF OPTION PERIOD.

         (a) Unless otherwise provided in any Grant, the unexercised portion of
any Option, other than an Option granted pursuant to Section 15 hereof, shall
automatically and without notice terminate and become null and void at the time
of the earliest to occur of the following:

                  (i) unless otherwise provided in any Grant, three months after
         the date on which the Optionee's employment is terminated for any
         reason other than by reason of (A) Cause, which, solely for purposes of
         this Plan, shall mean the termination of the Optionee's employment by
         reason of the Optionee's willful misconduct or gross negligence, (B) a
         mental or physical disability (within the meaning of Code Section
         22(e)) as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee
         or the Board, or (C) death;

                  (ii) immediately upon the termination of the Optionee's
         employment for Cause;

                  (iii) one year after the date on which the Optionee's
         employment is terminated by reason of a mental or physical disability
         (within the meaning of Code Section 22(e)) as determined by a medical
         doctor satisfactory to the Committee or the Board; or

                  (iv) (A) twelve months after the date of termination of the
         Optionee's employment by reason of death of the Optionee, or (B) three
         months after the date on which the Optionee shall die if such death
         shall occur during the one year period specified in Subsection
         10(a)(iii) hereof.

All references herein to the termination of the Optionee's employment shall, in
the case of an Optionee who is not an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary,
refer to the termination of the Optionee's service with the Company.

         (b) The Committee in its sole discretion may by giving written notice
("cancellation notice") cancel, effective upon the date of the consummation of
any corporate transaction described in Section 9(b) hereof or of any
reorganization, merger, consolidation or other form of corporate transaction in
which the Company does not survive, any Option that remains unexercised on such
date. Such cancellation notice shall be given 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.

11. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

         (a) If at any time while the Plan is in effect or unexercised Options
are outstanding, there shall be any increase or decrease in the number of issued
and outstanding Shares through the declaration of a stock dividend or through
any recapitalization resulting in a stock split-up, combination or exchange of
Shares, then and in such event:

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  (i) appropriate adjustment shall be made in the maximum number
         of Shares available for grant under the Plan, or available for grant to
         any person under the 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) Subject to the specific terms of any Option, the Committee or the
Board 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 or the Board's sole discretion, such adjustments become
appropriate so as to preserve but not increase benefits under the Plan.

         (c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the
Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible
into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with direct sale
or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, 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 the Plan.

         (d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the existence of
outstanding Options granted under the 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, reorganizations or other changes in the
Company's capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of
the Company; (iii) any issue by the Company of debt securities, or preferred or
preference stock that would rank above the Shares subject to outstanding
Options; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale,
transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the
Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar
character or otherwise.

12. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS AND SHARES.

         (a) No Incentive Stock Option, and unless the prior written consent of
the Committee or the Board is obtained and the transaction does not violate the
requirements of Rule 16B-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act no
Non-Qualified Stock 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. Each Option shall be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime
only by the Optionee, or in the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option that has
been assigned or transferred with the prior written consent of the Committee or
the Board, only by the permitted assignee.

         (b) Unless the prior written consent of the Committee or the Board is
obtained and the transaction does not violate the requirements of Rule 16B-3
promulgated under the Securities

                                       7
<PAGE>

Exchange Act, no Shares acquired by an Officer 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.

13. 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 or the Board may require such agreements or
undertakings, if any, as the Committee or the Board may deem necessary or
advisable to facilitate compliance with any such law or regulation 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

                  (ii) a representation, warranty and/or agreement to be bound
         by any legends endorsed upon the certificate(s) for such shares that
         are, in the opinion of the Committee or the Board, necessary or
         appropriate to facilitate compliance with the provisions of any
         securities law deemed by the Committee or the Board to be applicable to
         the issuance and transfer of such Shares.

14. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

         (a) The Plan shall be administered by a committee appointed by the
Board (the "Committee") which shall be composed of two or more Directors all of
whom shall be Outside Directors. The membership of the Committee shall be
constituted so as to comply at all times with the applicable requirements of
Rule 16B-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act and Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the
Board and shall have the powers designated herein and such other powers as the
Board may from time to time confer upon it.

         (b) The Board may grant Options pursuant to any persons to whom options
may be granted under Section 6(a) hereof.

         (c) The Committee or the Board, from time to time, may adopt rules and
regulations for carrying out the purposes of the Plan. The determinations by the
Committee or the Board and the interpretation and construction of any provision
of the Plan or any Option by the Committee or the Board, shall be final and
conclusive.

                                       8
<PAGE>

         (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
or (ii) without a meeting by the unanimous written approval of the members of
the Committee.

15. GRANTS TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS.

         (a) Each Non-Employee Director that is not affiliated with any
beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock will receive on
the date of his or her appointment as a Director, an Option to purchase 5,000
shares of Common Stock, which Option will become fully exercisable on the first
anniversary of its grant. The per share exercise price of all Options granted to
Non-Employee Directors pursuant to this Section 15(a) will be equal to the Fair
Market Value of the Shares underlying such Option on the date such Option is
granted. The unexercised portion of any Option granted pursuant to this Section
15(a) shall become null and void three months after the date on which such
Non-Employee Director ceases to be a Director for any reason.

         (b) In addition to Options granted to Non-Employee Directors pursuant
to Section 15(a), the Board may grant Options to Non-Employee Directors pursuant
to Section 6, subject to the provisions of the Plan generally applicable to
Options granted pursuant to Section 6.

16. 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
or beneficiary, 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.

17. INTERPRETATION.

         (a) As it is the intent of the Company that the Plan comply in all
respects with Rule 16B-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act ("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 Committee or the Board may from time to time adopt rules and
regulations under, and amend, the Plan in furtherance of the intent of the
foregoing.

         (b) The Plan shall be administered and interpreted so that all
Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan will qualify as Incentive Stock
Options under section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. If any provision of the
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, but instead the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if
such provision had never been included in the Plan.

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

                                       9
<PAGE>

         (d) Headings contained in this Plan are for convenience only and shall
in no manner be construed as 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.

18. AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUATION OF THE PLAN. The Committee or the Board may
from time to time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any Option; provided,
however, that, any amendment to the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the
Company's shareholders if such shareholder approval is required by any federal
or state law or regulation (including, without limitation, Rule 16B-3 or to
comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) or the rules of any
Stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock may then
be listed or granted. Except to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 10 hereof,
no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan or any Option issued
hereunder shall substantially impair the rights or benefits of any Optionee
pursuant to any Option previously granted without the consent of the Optionee.

19. AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION DATE. The Effective Date
of the Amended and Restated Plan shall be the date on which the Board adopts
this Amendment and Restatement of the Plan. The Plan shall terminate on the 10th
anniversary of the original Effective Date.
