the   Company   thirty  (30)   days'   written   notice   setting   forth   in   reasonable   specificity   the   event   that

constitutes  Good  Reason,  which  written  notice,  to  be  effective,  must  be  provided  to  the  Company  within

one  hundred  and  twenty(120)  days  of  the  occurrence  of  such  event.  During  such  thirty  (30)  day  notice

period,  the  Company  shall  have  a  cure  right  (if  curable),  and  if  not  cured  within  such  period,  the

Executive's  termination shall be effective upon the  date immediately following the expiration of the thirty

reimburse  the  Executive  for  his  reasonable  and  documented  expenses  in  connection  with  his  rendering

10

(m)

Section 409A.

To  the  extent  that  the  Executive  otherwise  would  be  entitled  to  any  payment  (whether

pursuant  to  this  Agreement  or  otherwise)  during  the  six  months  beginning  on  the  Termination  Date  that

would  be subject to the additional  tax imposed under Section 409A  of the  Code ("Section 409A"), (x) the

payment  shall  not  be  made  to  the  Executive  during  such  six  month  period  and  instead  shall  be  made  to  a

trust  in  compliance  with  Revenue  Procedure  92-64  (the  "Rabbi  Trust")  and  (y)  the  payment  shall  be  paid

to  the  Executive  on  the  earlier  of  the  six-month  anniversary  of  the  Termination  Date  or  the  Executive's

death  or  Disability.  Similarly,  to  the  extent  that  the  Executive  otherwise  would  be  entitled  to  any  benefit

(other than a payment)  during the six months  beginning on the Termination Date  that  would be subject  to

the  Section  409A  additional  tax,  the  benefit  shall  be  delayed  and  shall  begin  being  provided  (together,  if

applicable,  with  an  adjustment  to  compensate the  Executive  for  the  delay)  on  the  earlier  of  the  six-month

anniversary of the Termination Date, or the Executive's death or Disability.

(i)

The Company shall not take any action that would expose any payment or

benefit to the Executive to the additional tax of Section 409A, unless (w) the Company is obligated to take

the  action  under  an  agreement,  plan  or  arrangement  to  which  the  Executive  is  a  party,  (x)  the  Executive

requests  the  action,  (y)  the  Company  advises  the  Executive  in  writing  that  the  action  may  result  in  the

imposition  of  the  additional  tax,  and  (z)  the  Executive  subsequently  requests  the  action  in  a  writing  that

acknowledges that the Executive shall be responsible for any effect of the action under Section 409A.

(ii)

It  is  the  Company's  intention  that  the  benefits  and  rights  to  which  the

Executive  could  become  entitled  in  connection  with  termination  of  employment  comply  with  Section

409A.  If  the  Executive  or  the  Company  believes,  at  any  time,  that  any  of  such  benefit  or  right  does  not

comply,  it  shall  promptly  advise  the  other  and  shall  negotiate  reasonably  and  in  good  faith  to  amend  the

terms of such benefits and rights such that they comply with Section 409A (with the most limited possible

economic effect on the Executive and on the Company).

(n)

Clawback of Certain Compensation and Benefits.

If  within  the  three  year  period  after  the  termination  of  the  Executive's  employment  with

the Company for any reason other than by the Company for Cause:

(i)

it is  determined in good  faith by the Board and in accordance with the

due  process  requirements  of  Article  6(b)  that  the  Executive's  employment  could  have  been  terminated  by

the  Company  for  Cause  under  Article  6(b)  (unless  the  Board  knew  or  should  have  known  that  as  of  the

Termination  Date  the  Executive's  employment  could  have  been  terminated  for  Cause  in  accordance  with

Article 6(b)); or

(ii)

if the Company determines  that the Executive  has engaged  in fraudulent

or  intentional  misconduct  related  to  or  materially  affecting  the  Company's  business  operations  or  the

Executive's duties at the Company; or

(iii)

the Executive  breaches Article 7,  then the Executive's  employment  shall

be  deemed  to  have  been  terminated  for  Cause  retroactively  to  the  Termination  Date,  and  in  addition  to

any  other  remedy  that  may  be  available  to  the  Company  in  law  or  equity  and/or  pursuant  to  any  other

provisions of this Agreement, the Executive shall also be subject to the following provisions:

11

and  Article  6(b),  any  additional  amounts  paid  to  Executive  as  a  Bonus,  deferred  compensation,  or

Severance;  that  Executive  would  not  have  received  had  Executive's  employment  been  terminated  for

Cause; and

(b)

the  Executive   shall   be  required   to  pay  to   the  Company  any

additional  amounts  paid  to  Executive  on  or  after  the  Termination  Date  (including  the  pre-tax  cost  to  the

Company  of  any  benefits  that  are  in  excess  of  the  total  amount  that  the  Company  would  have  been

required  to  pay  and  the  pre-tax  cost  of  any  benefits  that  the  Company  would  have  been  required  to

provide)   that   are   in   addition   to   those   amounts   Executive   would   have   received   if  the   Executive's

employment  with  the  Company  had  been  terminated  by  the  Company  for  Cause  in  accordance  with

Article 6(b) above; and

(c)

notwithstanding  Article  1  (a)(iii)  and  Article  6(b),  the  Executive

shall  forfeit  at  the  discretion  of  the  Board,  based  on  the  facts  and  circumstances  surrounding  the

Executive's  culpability,  all  or  a  portion  of  the  Stock  Options  granted  pursuant  to  this  Agreement,  vested

and  unvested,  or  if  Stock  Options  have  been  exercised,  all  or  a  portion  of  the  shares  so  issued  for

cancellation  upon  payment  by Company  to  Executive  the  full  exercise  price,  while  any remaining  Stock

Options, if any, may be rescinded by the Board.

Company  or  for  the  benefit  of  any  other  person  or  persons,  or  misuse  in  any  way,  any  Confidential

Information  pertaining  to  the  business  of  the  Company.  Any  Confidential  Information  or  data  now  or

hereafter acquired by the Executive with respect to the business of the Company (which shall include, but

not  be  limited  to,  information  concerning  the  Company's  financial  condition,  prospects,  technology,

and  unique  asset  of  the  Company  that  is  received  by  the  Executive  in  confidence  and  as  a  fiduciary,  and

the   Executive   shall   remain   a   fiduciary   to   the   Company   with   respect   to   all   of   such   information.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  nothing  herein  shall  be  deemed  to  restrict  the  Executive  from  disclosing

Confidential  Information  as  required  to  perform his  duties  under  this Agreement  or to  the  extent  required

by law.  If  any person  or  authority makes  a  demand  on  the  Executive  purporting  to  legally compel  him to

wear  and  corrosion  coatings  field  of use  may not  be  considered  work  made  by the  Executive  for  hire  for

the  Company,  the  Executive  agrees  to  assign,  and  automatically  assign  at  the  time  of  creation  of  the

Company,  whether  prepared  by  the  Executive  or  otherwise  coming  into  the  Executive's  possession,  shall

be  the  exclusive   property  of  the  Company  and   shall  be  returned  immediately  to  the  Company  on

termination of the Executive's employment hereunder or on the Company's request at any time.

(f)

Acknowledgment  by  Executive.

The  Executive  acknowledges  and  confirms  that  the  restrictive  covenants  contained  in

this  Article  7  (including  without  limitation  the  length  of  the  term  of  the  provisions  of  this  Article  7)  are

reasonably necessary to  protect  the  legitimate  business  interests  of  the  Company,  and  are  not  overbroad,

overlong,  or  unfair  and  are  not  the  result  of overreaching,  duress  or  coercion  of any kind.  The Executive

further   acknowledges   and   confirms   that   the   compensation   payable   to   the   Executive   under   this

Agreement  is  in  consideration  for  the  duties  and  obligations  of  the  Executive  hereunder,  including  the

restrictive  covenants  contained  in  this  Article  7,  and  that  such  compensation  is  sufficient,  fair  and

reasonable.  The  Executive  further  acknowledges  and  confirms  that  his  full,  uninhibited  and  faithful

observance  of  each  of  the  covenants  contained  in  this  Article  7  will  not  cause  him  any  undue  hardship,

financial  or  otherwise,  and  that  enforcement  of  each  of  the  covenants  contained  herein  will  not  impair

his ability to obtain employment commensurate  with  his  abilities and on terms  fully acceptable to  him or

otherwise   to   obtain   income   required   for   the   comfortable   support   of   him   and   his   family   and   the

satisfaction  of  the  needs  of  his  creditors.  The  Executive  acknowledges  and  confirms  that  his  special

knowledge  of  the  business  of the  Company is  such  as  would  cause  the  Company serious  injury or  loss  if

he  were  to  use  such  ability  and  knowledge  to  the  benefit  of  a  competitor  or  were  to  compete  with  the

Company  in  violation  of  the  terms  of  this  Article  7.  The  Executive  further  acknowledges  that  the

restrictions  contained  in  this  Article  7  are  intended  to  be,  and  shall  be,  for  the  benefit  of  and  shall  be

enforceable  by,  the  Company's  successors  and  assigns.  The  Executive  expressly  agrees  that  upon  any

breach or violation of the provisions of this Article 7, the  Company shall be entitled, as  a matter of right,

in  addition  to  any  other  rights  or  remedies  it  may  have,  to  (i)  temporary  and/or  permanent  injunctive

relief  in  any court  of  competent  jurisdiction  as  described  in  Article  7(i)  hereof,  and  (ii)  such  damages  as

are  provided  at  law  or  in  equity.  The  existence  of  any  claim  or  cause  of  action  against  the  Company  or

its  affiliates,  whether  predicated  upon  this  Agreement  or  otherwise,  shall  not  constitute  a  defense  to  the

enforcement of the restrictions contained in this Article 7.

(g)

Reformation by Court.

In  the  event  that  a  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  shall  determine  that  any  provision  of

this  Article  7  is  invalid  or  more  restrictive  than  permitted  under  the  governing  law  of  such  jurisdiction,

then  only as  to  enforcement  of  this  Article  7  within  the  jurisdiction  of  such  court,  such  provision  shall  be

interpreted  or  reformed  and  enforced  as  if  it  provided  for  the  maximum  restriction  permitted  under  such

governing law.

(h)

Extension  of  Time.

If  the  Executive  shall  be  in  violation  of  any  provision  of  this  Article  7,  then  each  time

limitation  set  forth  in  this  Article  7  shall  be  extended  for  a  period  of  time  equal  to  the  period  of  time

during  which  such  violation  or  violations  occur.  If  the  Company  seeks  injunctive  relief  from  such

violation  in  any court,  then  the  covenants  set  forth  in  this  Article  7  shall  be  extended  for  a  period  of  time

equal to the duration of such proceeding including all appeals by the Executive.

15

(i)

Injunction.

It  is  recognized  and  hereby  acknowledged  by  the  parties  hereto  that  a  breach  by  the

Executive  of  any  of  the  covenants  contained  in  Article  7  of  this  Agreement  will  cause  irreparable

harm  and  damage  to  the  Company,  the  monetary  amount  of  which  may  be  virtually  impossible  to

ascertain.  As  a  result,  the  Executive  recognizes  and  hereby  acknowledges  that  the  Company  shall  be

entitled  to  an  injunction  from  any  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  enjoining  and  restraining  any

violation  of  any  or  all  of  the  covenants  contained  in  Article  7  of  this  Agreement  by  the  Executive  or

any  of  his  affiliates,  associates,  partners  or  agents,  either  directly  or  indirectly,  and  that  such  right  to

injunction   shall   be   cumulative   and   in   addition   to   whatever   other   remedies   the   Company   may

possess.

8.

Representations and Warranties of Executive.

The Executive  represents  and  warrants  to the Company that:

of a prior employer by which he is or may be bound;

(c)

in  connection  with  Executive's  employment  with  the  Company,  he  will  not

use  any  confidential  or  proprietary  information  that  he  may  have  obtained  in  connection  with

subsidiaries  of  the  company;

(d)

the  Executive  has  not  (i)  been  convicted  of  any  felony;  or  (ii)  committed  any

criminal act with respect to Executive's current or any prior employment; and

9.

Mediation.

Except  to  the  extent  the Company has  the  right  to  seek  an injunction  under Article  7(i)  hereof,  in

the  event  a  dispute  arises  out  of  or  relates  to  this  Agreement,  or  the  breach  thereof,  and  if  the  dispute

cannot  be  settled  through  negotiation,  the  parties  hereby  agree  first  to  attempt  in  good  faith  to  settle  the

dispute  by  mediation  administered  by  the  American  Arbitration  Association  under  its  Employment

Mediation Rules before resorting to the jurisdiction of federal or state courts to resolve any dispute.

10.

Taxes.

Anything  in  this  Agreement  to  the  contrary  notwithstanding,  all  payments  required  to  be

made  by  the  Company  hereunder  to  the  Executive  or  his  estate  or  beneficiaries  shall  be  subject  to

the  withholding  of  such  amounts  relating  to  taxes  as  the  Company  may  reasonably  determine  it

should  withhold  pursuant  to  any  applicable  law  or  regulation.  In  lieu  of  withholding  such  amounts,

in  whole  or  in  part,  the  Company  may,  in  its  sole  discretion,  accept  other  provisions  for  payment  of

taxes  and   withholding  as  required  by  law,  provided  it  is  satisfied  that  all   requirements  of  law

affecting its  responsibilities  to  withhold  have  been  satisfied.

16

11.

Assignment.

The  Company  shall  have  the  right  to  assign   this  Agreement  and  its  rights  and  obligations

hereunder  in  whole,  but  not  in  part,  to  any  corporation  or  other  entity  with  or  into  which  the  Company

may  hereafter  merge  or  consolidate  or  to  which  the  Company  may  transfer  all  or  substantially  all  of  its

assets, if in any such case said corporation or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing

assume all  obligations  of the Company hereunder  as  fully as if it  had been originally made a party hereto,

but  may  not  otherwise  assign  this  Agreement  or  its  rights  and  obligations  hereunder.  The  Executive  may

not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder.

12.

This Agreement shall  be  governed  by and  construed and  enforced in accordance with  the internal

laws of the State of Florida, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

limiting  the  jurisdiction  or  venue  of  any  other  federal  or  state  courts,  each  of  the  parties  irrevocably  and

unconditionally  (i)  agrees  that  any  suit,  action  or  legal  proceeding  arising  out  of  or  relating  to  this

such  courts;  and  (iv)  agrees  that  service  of  any  court  papers  may  be  effected  on  such  party  by  mail,  as

provided  in  this  Agreement,  or  in  such  other  manner  as  may  be  provided  under  applicable  laws  or  court

rules in such courts.

Executive's employment hereunder, including without limitation, the Company's  obligations under Article

6  and  the  Executive's  obligations  under  Article  7  above,  and  the  expiration  of  the  Term  of  Employment,

to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

15.

Notices.

All   notices   required   or   permitted   to   be   given   hereunder   shall   be   in   writing   and   shall   be

in  accordance  with  the  foregoing  shall  be  deemed  given  upon  the  earlier  of  receipt  by  the  addressee,  as

evidenced  by  the  return  receipt  thereof,  or  three  (3)  days  after  deposit  in  the  U.S.  mail.  Notice  shall  be

sent  (i)  if  to  the  Company,  addressed  to  2665  South  Bayshore  Drive,  Suite  450,  Miami,  Florida  33133

USA  Attention:  Robert  Miller,  CEO,  and  (ii)  if  to  the  Executive,  to  his  address  as  reflected  on  the

payroll  records  of  the  Company,  or  to  such  other  address  as  either  party  shall  request  by  notice  to  the

other in accordance with this provision.

17

16.

Benefits; Binding Effect.

This Agreement shall be for the benefit of and binding upon the parties hereto and their respective

heirs,  personal  representatives,  legal  representatives,  successors  and,  where  permitted  and  applicable,

assigns,  including,  without  limitation,  any  successor  to  the  Company,  whether  by  merger,  consolidation,

sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise.

17.

Right to Consult with Counsel; No Drafting Party.

The  Executive  acknowledges  having  read  and  considered  all  of  the  provisions  of  this  Agreement

carefully, and having had the opportunity to consult with counsel of his own choosing, and, given this, the

Executive  agrees  that  the  obligations  created  hereby  are  not  unreasonable.  The  Executive  acknowledges

that  he  has  had  an  opportunity  to  negotiate  any  and  all  of  these  provisions  and  no  rule  of  construction

shall  be  used  that  would  interpret  any provision  in  favor  of  or  against  a  party on  the  basis  of  who  drafted

the Agreement.

18.

Severability.

The  invalidity  of  any  one  or  more  of  the  words,  phrases,  sentences,  clauses,  provisions,  sections

or articles  contained in this Agreement  shall  not  affect  the enforceability of the  remaining portions of this

Agreement  or  any part  thereof,  all  of  which  are  inserted  conditionally on  their  being  valid  in  law,  and,  in

the  event  that  any  one  or  more  of  the  words,  phrases,  sentences,  clauses,  provisions,  sections  or  articles

contained in this Agreement shall be declared invalid, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid

word  or  words,  phrase  or  phrases,  sentence  or  sentences,  clause  or  clauses,  provisions  or  provisions,

section or sections or article or articles had not been inserted. If such invalidity is caused by length of time

or  size  of  area,  or  both,  the  otherwise  invalid  provision  will  be  considered  to  be  reduced  to  a  period  or

area which would cure such invalidity.

19.

Waivers.

The  waiver  by  either  party  hereto  of  a  breach  or  violation  of  any  term  or  provision  of  this

Agreement shall not operate nor be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation.

20.

Damages; Attorneys Fees.

Nothing  contained  herein  shall  be  construed  to  prevent  the  Company  or  the  Executive  from

seeking  and  recovering  from  the  other  damages  sustained  by  either  or  both  of  them  as  a  result  of  its  or

his  breach  of  any  term  or  provision  of  this  Agreement.  In  the  event  that  either  party  hereto  seeks  to

collect  any  damages  resulting  from,  or  the  injunction  of  any  action  constituting,  a  breach  of  any  of  the

terms  or  provisions  of  this  Agreement,  then  the  party  found  to  be  at  fault  shall  pay  all  reasonable  costs

and attorneys' fees of the other.

21.

No Set-off or Mitigation.

The Company's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to

perform  its  obligations  hereunder  shall  not  be  affected  by any set-off,  counterclaim,  recoupment,  defense

or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others.

18

22.

Section Headings.

The   article,   section   and   paragraph   headings   contained   in   this   Agreement   are   for   reference

purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

23.

No Third Party Beneficiary.

Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer  upon

or  give  any  person  other  than  the  Company,  the  parties  hereto  and  their  respective  heirs,  personal

representatives,  legal  representatives,  successors  and  permitted  assigns,  any  rights  or  remedies  under  or

by reason of this Agreement.

24.

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 together shall constitute one and the same instrument and agreement.

25.

Indemnification.

(a)

Subject  to  limitations  imposed  by  law,  the  Company  shall  indemnify  and  hold

harmless  the  Executive  to  the  fullest  extent  permitted  by  law  from  and  against  any  and  all  claims,

damages,  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees),  judgments,  penalties,  fines,  settlements,  and  all  other

liabilities incurred or paid by him in connection with the investigation, defense, prosecution, settlement or

appeal  of  any  threatened,  pending  or  completed  action,  suit  or  proceeding,  whether  civil,  criminal,

administrative  or  investigative  and to  which the Executive  was  or  is  a  party or  is  threatened  to  be  made  a

party by reason  of the  fact that  the  Executive  is  or  was  an  officer,  employee  or  agent  of  the  Company,  or

by reason of anything done or  not  done  by the Executive  in any such capacity or capacities,  provided that

the  Executive  acted  in  good  faith,  in  a  manner  that  was  not  grossly  negligent  or  constituted  willful

misconduct  and  in  a  manner  he  reasonably  believed  to  be  in  or  not  opposed  to  the  best  interests  of  the

Company,  and,  with  respect  to  any  criminal  action  or  proceeding,  had  no  reasonable  cause  to  believe  his

conduct  was  unlawful.    The  Company  also  shall  pay  any  and  all  expenses  (including  attorney's  fees)

incurred  by  the  Executive  as  a  result  of  the  Executive  being  called  as  a  witness  in  connection  with  any

matter involving the Company and/or any of its officers or directors.

(b)

Except  in  the  event  that  the  Company  is  involved  in  an  adversarial  claim  either

against  or  initiated  by  Executive,  the  Company  shall  pay  any  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees),

judgments,  penalties,  fines,  settlements,  and  other  liabilities  incurred  by  the  Executive  in  investigating,

defending,  settling  or  appealing  any  action,  suit  or  proceeding  described  in  this  Article  25  in  advance  of

the  final  disposition  of  such  action,  suit  or  proceeding.    Subject  to  the  limited  exception  conditioned

above,  the  Company  shall  promptly  pay  the  amount  of  such  expenses  to  the  Executive,  but  in  no  event

later  than  10  days  following  the  Executive's  delivery to  the  Company  of  a  written  request  for  an  advance

pursuant to this Article 25, together with a reasonable accounting of such expenses.

(c)

The  Executive   hereby  undertakes   and  agrees   to   repay  to   the  Company  any

advances  made  pursuant  to  this  Article  25  if  and  to  the  extent  that  it  shall  ultimately  be  found  that  the

Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such amounts.

19

(d)

The   Company   shall   make   the   advances   contemplated   by   this   Article   25

regardless of  the Executive's  financial  ability to  make  repayment,  and regardless whether indemnification

of  the  Indemnitee  by the  Company  will  ultimately  be  required.   Any advances  and  undertakings  to  repay

pursuant  to  this  Article  25  shall  be  unsecured  and  interest-free.  The  provisions  of  this  Article  25  shall

survive the termination of the Term of Employment or expiration of the term of this Agreement.

(e)

The  provisions  of  this  Article  25  shall  survive  the  termination  of  the  Term  of

Employment or expiration of the term of this Agreement.

IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the  undersigned  have  executed  this  Agreement  as  of  the  date  first

above written.

Stephen  C.  Goss  ("Executive"),  for  himself  and  his  family,  heirs,  executors,  administrators,  legal

representatives  and  their  respective  successors  and  assigns,  in  exchange  for  the  consideration  received

pursuant  to this Employment  Agreement to  which this  release is attached as Exhibit  A (the  "Employment

Agreement"),  does  hereby  release  and  forever  discharge  Abakan  Inc.  (the  "Company"),  its  subsidiaries,

affiliated  companies,  successors  and  assigns,  and  its  current  or  former  directors,  officers,  employees,

shareholders  or  agents  in  such  capacities  (collectively  with  the  Company,  the  "Released  Parties")  from

any  and  all  actions,  causes  of  action,  suits,  controversies,  claims  and  demands  whatsoever,  for  or  by

reason  of  any  matter,  cause  or  thing  whatsoever,  whether  known  or  unknown  including,  but  not  limited

to,  all  claims  under  any  applicable  laws  arising  under  or  in  connection  with  Executive's  employment  or

termination  thereof,   whether  for   tort,   breach  of  express  or   implied  employment   contract,   wrongful

discharge,  intentional  infliction  of  emotional  distress,  or  defamation  or  injuries  incurred  on  the  job  or

incurred as  a result of loss of  employment. Executive acknowledges that the Company encouraged him to

consult  with  an  attorney  of  his  choosing,  and  through  this  General  Release  of  Claims  encourages  him  to

consult  with  his  attorney  with  respect  to  possible  claims  under  the  Age  Discrimination  in  Employment

Act  ("ADEA")  and  that  he  understands  that  the  ADEA  is  a  Federal  statute  that,  among  other  things,

prohibits  discrimination  on  the  basis  of  age  in  employment  and  employee  benefits  and  benefit  plans.

Without  limiting  the  generality  of  the  release  provided  above,  Executive  expressly  waives  any  and  all

claims under ADEA that  he may have as of the date hereof. Executive further understands that by signing

this  General Release  of Claims  he  is in  fact  waiving,  releasing and  forever  giving  up  any claim under  the

ADEA  as  well  as  all  other  laws  within  the  scope  of  this  paragraph  1  that  may have  existed  on  or  prior  to

the  date  hereof.  Notwithstanding  anything  in  this  paragraph  1  to  the  contrary,  this  General  Release  of

Claims  shall  not  apply  to  (i)  any  rights  or  claims  that  may  arise  as  a  result  of  events  occurring  after  the

date  this  General  Release  of  Claims  is  executed,  (ii)  any  indemnification  rights  Executive  may  have  as  a

former  officer  or  director  of  the  Company  or  its  subsidiaries  or  affiliated  companies,  (iii)  any  claims  for

benefits under any directors' and officers' liability policy maintained by the Company or its subsidiaries or

affiliated  companies in accordance with the terms of  such  policy,  and (iv)  any rights as a  holder  of equity

securities of the Company.

Executive  represents  that  he  has  not  filed  against  the  Released  Parties  any  complaints,  charges,

or  lawsuits  arising  out  of  his  employment,  or  any  other  matter  arising  on  or  prior  to  the  date  of  this

General  Release  of  Claims,  and  covenants  and  agrees  that  he  will  never  individually  or  with  any  person

file,  or  commence  the  filing of,  any charges,  lawsuits,  complaints  or  proceedings  with  any governmental

agency,  or against the  Released Parties  with respect  to  any of the matters released  by Executive  pursuant

to  paragraph  1  hereof  (a  "Proceeding");  provided,  however,  Executive  shall  not  have  relinquished  his

right  to  commence  a  Proceeding  to  challenge  whether  Executive  knowingly  and  voluntarily  waived  his

rights under ADEA.

Executive hereby acknowledges  that the Company has informed him that he has up to twenty-one

(21)  days  to  sign  this  General  Release  of  Claims  and  he  may  knowingly  and  voluntarily  waive  that

twenty-one  (21)  day period by signing this General  Release  of Claims earlier.  Executive  also understands

that  he  shall  have  seven  (7)  days  following  the  date  on  which  he  signs  this  General  Release  of  Claims

within which to revoke it by providing a written notice of his revocation to the Company.

1

Executive  acknowledges  that  this  General  Release  of  Claims  will  be  governed  by  and  construed

and enforced in accordance with the internal laws  of the State of Florida applicable  to contracts made and

to be performed entirely within such State.

Executive acknowledges that he has read this General Release of Claims, that he has been advised

that  he  should  consult  with  an  attorney  before  he  executes  this  general  release  of  claims,  and  that  he

understands  all  of its  terms and  executes it voluntarily and  with full  knowledge  of  its  significance and the

consequences thereof.

This   General   Release   of   Claims   shall   take   effect   on   the   eighth   day  following   Executive's

execution  of  this  General  Release  of  Claims  unless  Executive's  written  revocation  is  delivered  to  the

Company within seven (7) days after such execution.

AGREEMENT

1.

Grant of Option.

(a)

The  Plan  Administrator  of  the  Corporation  hereby  grants  to  the  Optionee  named

in  the  Notice  of  Grant  (the  “Optionee”),  the  Option  to purchase  the  number  of  Shares  set

forth  in  the  Notice  of  Grant,  at  the  exercise  price  per  Share  set  forth  in  the  Notice  of

Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is

incorporated  herein  by  reference.  In  the  event   of  a   conflict  between  the  terms   and

conditions  of  the  Plan  and  this  Option  Agreement,  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  Plan

shall prevail.

(b)

If  designated  in  the  Notice  of  Grant  as  an  Incentive  Stock  Option,  this  Option

shall  qualify  as  an  Incentive   Stock  Option  as  defined  in  Section  422  of  the  Code.

Nevertheless,  to  the  extent  that  this  Option  exceeds  the  $100,000  rule  of  Code  Section

422(d)  or  fails  to  comply  with  any other  requirement  of  Code  Section  422  or  regulations

issued thereunder, such Option shall be treated as a Non-Statutory Stock Option.

2.

Exercise of Option.

(a)

Right to Exercise.   This Option shall be exercisable  during its term in accordance

with   the   Vesting   Schedule   set   out   in   the   Notice   of   Grant   and   with   the   applicable

provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

(b)

Method  of  Exercise.   This  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

Corporation.    The  Exercise  Notice  shall  be  accompanied  by  payment  of  the  aggregate

Exercise  Price  as  to  all  Exercised  Shares.   This  Option  shall  be  deemed  to  be  exercised

upon  receipt  by  the  Corporation  of  such  fully  executed  Exercise  Notice  accompanied  by

the aggregate Exercise Price.

(c)

Compliance  with  Law.   No  Shares  shall  be  issued  pursuant  to  the  exercise  of  an

Option  unless  such  issuance  and  such  exercise  comply  with  Applicable  Law.   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.

2

3.

Optionee’s  Representations.   In  the  event  the  Shares  have  not  been  registered  under  the

Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended  (the  “Securities  Act”),  at  the  time  this  Option  is  exercised,  if

required  by  the  Corporation,  the  Optionee  shall  deliver  to  the  Corporation,  concurrently  with  the

exercise  of  all  or  any  portion  of  this  Option,  his  or  her  Investment  Representation  Statement  in

the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

4.

Method  of  Payment.    Payment  of  the  aggregate  Exercise  Price  shall  be  made  by  any

manner  provided  in  the  Plan.   However,  following  the  registration  of  the  Shares  under  Section

12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Exercise Price also may be paid as follows:

(a)

in  shares  of  Common  Stock  held  for  the  requisite  period  necessary  to  avoid  a

charge  to  the  Corporation’s  earnings  for  financial  reporting  purposes  and  valued  at  Fair

Market Value on the Exercise Date; or

(b)

to  the  extent  the  Option  is  exercised  for  vested  shares  through  a  special  sale  and

remittance  procedure  pursuant  to  which  the  Optionee  (or  any  other  person  or  persons

exercising  the  Option)  concurrently  will  provide  irrevocable  written  instructions  to  (i)  a

brokerage   firm   designated   by   the   Corporation   to   effect   the   immediate   sale   of   the

purchased  shares  and  remit  to  the  Corporation,  out  of  the  sale  proceeds  available  on  the

settlement  date,  sufficient  funds  to  cover  the  aggregate  exercise  price  payable  for  the

purchased  shares,  plus  all  applicable  Federal,  state  and  local  income  and  employment

taxes  required  to  be  withheld  by  the  Corporation  by  reason  of  such  exercise  and  (ii)  the

Corporation  to  deliver the certificates  for  the  purchased  shares  directly to  such  brokerage

firm in order to complete the sale.

5.

Restrictions  on  Exercise.    This  Option  may  not  be  exercised  if  the  issuance  of  such

Shares  upon  such  exercise  or  the  method  of  payment  of  consideration  for  such  shares  would

constitute a violation of any Applicable Law.

6.

Limited  Transferability  of  Option;  Restrictions  on  Transfer  of  Shares.   If  this  Option  is

designated  as  an  Incentive  Stock  Option  in  the  Option  Grant  Notice,  this  Option  may  not  be

transferred  or  assigned  in  any  manner  by  Optionee  other  than  by  will  or  by  the  laws  of  descent

and  distribution,  and  during  the  lifetime  of Optionee,  may be  exercised  only by  Optionee.   If  this

Option is designated as a Non-statutory Stock Option in the Option Grant Notice, at the discretion

of  the  Plan  Administrator  and  in  connection  with  Optionee’s  estate  plan,  this  Option  may  be

assigned  in  whole  or  in  part  during  Optionee’s  lifetime  to  one  or  more  members  of  Optionee’s

immediate  family  or  to  a  trust  established  exclusively  for  the  benefit  of  one  or  more  such  family

members.

7.

Successors  and  Assigns.    The  terms  of  the  Plan  and  this  Option  Agreement  shall  be

binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

8.

Term of Option.   This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice

of  Grant,  and  may be  exercised  during  such  term  only  in  accordance  with  the  Plan  and  the  terms

of this Option Agreement.

9.

Entire  Agreement,  Governing  Law.   The  Plan  is  incorporated  herein  by  reference.  The

Plan  and  this  Option  Agreement,  together  with  all  Exhibits  attached  hereto,  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 Corporation 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  Corporation  and  Optionee.  This  Option  Agreement  is  governed  by  the

internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of Florida.

10.

No  Guarantee  of  Continued  Service.   OPTIONEE  ACKNOWLEDGES  AND  AGREES

THAT   THE   VESTING   OF   ANY   PORTION   OF   THIS   OPTION   PURSUANT   TO   THE

VESTING    SCHEDULE    HEREOF    IS    EARNED    ONLY    BY    CONTINUING    AS    A

______________________

DATE:

______________________

In   connection   with   the   purchase   of   the   above-listed   Securities,   the   undersigned   Optionee

represents to the Corporation the following:

(a)

Optionee  is  aware  of  the  Corporation’s  business  affairs  and  financial  condition  and  has

acquired  sufficient  information  about  the  Corporation  to  reach  an  informed  and  knowledgeable  decision

to  acquire  the  Securities.  Optionee  is  acquiring  these  Securities  for  investment  for  Optionee’s  own

account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the

meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

(b)

Optionee   acknowledges   and   understands   that   the   Securities   constitute   “restricted

securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon

a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature

of  Optionee’s  investment intent  as  expressed  herein.  In  this  connection,  Optionee  understands  that,  in  the

view  of   the  Securities  and   Exchange  Commission,   the  statutory  basis   for   such  exemption   may  be

unavailable  if  Optionee’s  representation  was  predicated  solely  upon  a  present  intention  to  hold  these

Securities  for  the  minimum  capital  gains  period  specified  under  tax  statutes,  for  a  deferred  sale,  for  or

until  an increase  or  decrease  in the  market  price  of the  Securities,  or  for a  period of  one  year  or any other

fixed period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless

they  are  subsequently  registered  under  the  Securities  Act  or  an  exemption  from  such  registration  is

available.  Optionee  further  acknowledges  and  understands  that  the  Corporation  is  under  no  obligation  to

register   the   Securities.     Optionee   understands   that   the   certificate   evidencing   the  Securities   will   be

imprinted  with  a  legend  that  prohibits  the  transfer  of  the  Securities  unless  they  are  registered  or  such

registration is  not  required in the opinion of counsel  satisfactory to the Corporation,  and any other  legend

required under applicable state securities laws.

(c)

Optionee  is  familiar  with  the  provisions  of  Rule  701  and  Rule  144,  each  promulgated

under  the  Securities  Act,  which,  in  substance,  permit  limited  public  resale  of  “restricted  securities”

acquired,  directly or  indirectly from  the  issuer  thereof,  in  a  non-public  offering  subject  to  the  satisfaction

of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that  if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701  at the time of the grant

of the Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

7

In the event that the Corporation does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the

Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of

Rule 144, including: (i) the resale may occur not less than six (6) months after the date the Securities were

sold by the Corporation, (ii) the resale may be made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s

transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (iii) certain public information must be made

available about the Corporation, (iv) the amount of Securities being sold during any three month period

may not exceed the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (v) a Form 144 must be timely filed, if

applicable.

(d)

Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule

701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some

other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701

are not exclusive, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that

persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise

than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an

exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective

brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Optionee understands that no

assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

Signature of Optionee:
