4. Special Tax Provision.

a. In the event that any amount or benefit paid, payable, or to be paid, or distributed, distributable, or to be distributed to or with respect to Executive by the Company (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company) as a result of a Change in Control (collectively, the “Covered Payments”) is or becomes subject to the excise tax imposed by or under Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed), and/or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with such interest and penalties, is hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), the Company shall pay to Executive an additional amount (the “Tax Reimbursement Payment”) such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including, without limitation, any interest or penalties and any Excise Tax and other taxes imposed on or attributable to the Tax Reimbursement Payment itself), Executive retains an amount of the Tax Reimbursement Payment equal to the sum of (i) the amount of the Excise Tax imposed upon the Covered Payments, and (ii) without duplication, an amount equal to the product of (A) any deductions disallowed for federal, state or local income or payroll tax purposes because of the inclusion of the tax Reimbursement Payment in Executive’s adjusted gross income, and (B) the highest applicable marginal rate of federal, state or local income taxation, respectively, for the calendar year in which the Tax Reimbursement Payment is made or is to be made. The intent of this Section is that (a) the Executive, after paying his Federal, state and local income tax and any payroll taxes on Executive, will be in the same position as if he was not subject to the Excise Tax under Section 4999 of the Code and did not receive the extra payments pursuant to this Section and (b) that Executive should never be “out-of-pocket” with respect to any tax or other amount subject to this Section, whether payable to any taxing authority or repayable to the Company, and this Section shall be interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it shall be determined that the Executive is entitled to a Tax Reimbursement Payment, but that the Covered Payment does not exceed 110% of the greatest amount (the “Reduced Amount”) that could be paid to the Executive such that the receipt of the Covered Payment would not give rise to any Excise Tax, then no Tax Reimbursement Payment shall be made to the Executive and the Covered Payment, in the aggregate, shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount.

b. Except as otherwise provided in clause (a) above, for purposes of determining whether any of the Covered Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax,

i. such Covered Payments will be treated as “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) and such payments in excess of the Code Section 280G(b)(3) “base amount” shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless, and except to the extent that, the Company’s independent certified public accountants appointed prior to the Change in Control covered by Code Section 280G(b)(2) or legal counsel (reasonably acceptable to Executive) appointed by such public accountants (or, if the public accountants decline such appointment and decline appointing such legal counsel, such independent certified public accountants as promptly mutually agreed on in good faith by the Company and the Executive) (the “Accountant”), deliver a written opinion to Executive, reasonably satisfactory to Executive’s legal counsel, that Executive has a reasonable basis to claim that the Covered Payments (in whole or in part) (A) do not constitute “parachute payments”, (B) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code) in excess of the “base amount” allocable to such reasonable compensation, or (C) such “parachute payments” are otherwise not subject to such Excise Tax (with appropriate legal authority, detailed analysis and explanation provided therein by the Accountants); and

ii. the value of any Covered Payments which are non-cash benefits or deferred payments or benefits shall be determined by the Accountant in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the Code.

c. For purposes of determining the amount of the Tax Reimbursement Payment, Executive shall be deemed:

i. to pay federal, state, local income and/or payroll taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Tax Reimbursement Payment is made or is to be made, and

ii. to have otherwise allowable deductions for federal, state and local income and payroll tax purposes at least equal to those disallowed due to the inclusion of the Tax Reimbursement Payment in Executive’s adjusted gross income.

d. In the event that prior to the time Executive has filed any of his tax returns for the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurred, the Accountant determines, for any reason whatever, the correct amount of the Tax Reimbursement Payment to be less than the amount determined at the time the Tax Reimbursement Payment was made, the Executive shall repay to the Company, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Tax Reimbursement Payment is determined by the Accountant, the portion of the prior Tax Reimbursement Payment attributable to such reduction (including the portion of the Tax Reimbursement Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal, state and local income and payroll tax imposed on the portion of the Tax Reimbursement Payment being repaid by Executive, using the assumptions and methodology utilized to calculate the Tax Reimbursement Payment (unless manifestly erroneous)).

e. In the event that the determination set forth in (d) above is made by the Accountant after the filing by Executive of any of his tax returns for the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurred, but prior to one (1) year after the occurrence of such Change in Control, Executive shall file at the request of the Company an amended tax return in accordance with the Accountant’s determination, but no portion of the Tax Reimbursement Payment shall be required to be refunded to the Company until actual refund or credit of such portion has been made to Executive, and the Executive shall pay interest to the Company which shall not exceed the interest received or credited to Executive by such tax authority for the period it held such portion (less any tax Executive must pay on such interest and which he is unable to deduct as a result of payment of the refund).

f. In the event Executive receives a refund pursuant to (e) above and repays such amount to the Company, Executive shall thereafter file for refunds or credits by reason of the repayments to the Company.

g. Executive and the Company shall mutually agree upon the course of action, if any, to be pursued (which shall be at the expense of the Company) if Executive’s claim for refund or credit is denied.

h. In the event that the Excise Tax is later determined by the Accountants or the Internal Revenue Service to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Tax Reimbursement Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Tax Reimbursement Payment), the Company shall make an additional Tax Reimbursement Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest or penalties payable with respect to such excess) once the amount of such excess is finally determined.

i. In the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) under this Section, subject to (g) above, Executive shall permit the Company to control issues related to this Section (at its expense), provided that such issues do not potentially materially adversely affect Executive, but Executive shall control any other issues. In the event the issues are interrelated, Executive and the Company shall in good faith cooperate so as not to jeopardize resolution of either issue, but if the parties cannot agree Executive shall make the final determination with regard to the issues. In the event of any conference with any taxing authority as to the Excise Tax or associated income taxes, Executive shall permit the representative of the Company to accompany him and Executive and his representative shall cooperate with the Company and its representative.

j. With regard to any initial filing for a refund or any other action required pursuant to this Section (other than by mutual agreement) or, if not required, agreed to by the Company and Executive, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to actions that are provided herein to be at the sole discretion of Executive.

k. The Tax Reimbursement Payment, or any portion thereof, payable by the Company shall be paid not later than the fifth (5th) day following the determination by the Accountant and any payment made after such fifth (5th) day shall bear interest at the rate provided in Code Section 1274(b)(2)(B). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Accountant, to promptly deliver the initial determination required hereunder and, if not delivered, within ninety (90) days after the Change in Control, the Company shall pay Executive the Tax Reimbursement Payment set forth in an opinion from counsel recognized as knowledgeable in the relevant areas selected by Executive, and reasonably acceptable to the Company, within five (5) days after delivery of such opinion. The amount of such payment shall be subject to later adjustment in accordance with the determination of the Accountant as provided herein.

l. The Company shall be responsible for all charges of the Accountant and if (e) is applicable the reasonable charges for the opinion given by Executive’s counsel.

m. The Company and Executive shall mutually agree on and promulgate further guidelines in accordance with this Section to the extent, if any, necessary to effect the reversal of excessive or shortfall Tax Reimbursement Payments. The foregoing shall not in any way be inconsistent with sub-paragraph (g) above.

5. Confidential Information, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation of the Company.

a. Executive acknowledges that as a result of Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive will obtain secret and confidential information as to the Company and its affiliates and create relationships with customers, suppliers and other persons dealing with the Company and its affiliates and the Company and its affiliates will suffer substantial damage, which would be difficult to ascertain, if Executive should use such confidential information or take advantage of such relationship and that because of the nature of the information that will be known to Executive and the relationships created it is necessary for the Company and its affiliates to be protected by the prohibition against Competition as set forth herein, as well as the confidentiality restrictions set forth herein.

b.

d. “Competition” means participating, directly or indirectly, as an individual proprietor, partners, stockholder, officer, employee, director, joint venturer, investor, lender, consultant or in any capacity whatsoever (within the United States of America, or in any country where the Company or its affiliates do business) in a business in meaningful competition with the Company’s businesses, provided, however, that such participation shall not include (i) the mere ownership of not more than one percent (1%) of the total outstanding stock of a publicly held company; or (ii) any activity engaged in with the prior written approval of the Board.

e. “Solicitation” means recruiting, soliciting or inducing, of any nonclerical employee or employees of the Company or its affiliates to terminate their employment with, or otherwise cease their relationship with, the Company or its affiliates or hiring or assisting another person or entity to hire any nonclerical employee of the Company or its affiliates or any person who within six (6) months before had been a nonclerical employee of the Company or its affiliates and were recruited or solicited for such employment or other retention while an employee of the Company, provided, however, that solicitation shall not include any of the foregoing activities engaged in with the prior written approval of the Board.

f. If any restriction set forth with regard to Competition or Solicitation is found by any court of competent jurisdiction, or an arbitrator, to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable. If any provision of this Section shall be declared to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, as a result of the foregoing, as a result of public policy or for any other reason, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Section which shall remain in full force and effect.

The parties shall take all additional steps necessary so that the Executive will not incur the 409A Tax with respect to amounts the Executive is entitled to under the Non-qualified Retirement Plans, any Substitute Plan or this Agreement. For purposes of this Section a “Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan” means any “non-qualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Code Section 409A(d)) which is maintained by the Company or an affiliate of the Company and in which the Executive participates as of the date hereof. In the event any amounts due under this Agreement are payable from a Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan as a result of Executive’s separation from service pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and any Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, such amounts shall be delayed for a period of six months from the date of such separation from service or be subject to such other restrictions under Section 409A of the Code so as to avoid any 409A Tax.

12. Miscellaneous.

a. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

b. Entire Agreement/Amendments. In the event of a Change in Control, this Agreement supersedes (i) all severance and termination payments and benefits under any agreements entered into between the Executive and the Company on or prior to the date hereof (“Other Agreement”), (ii) all severance plans or policies of the Company, and (ii) all confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicitation provisions under any agreements entered into by and between the Executive and the Company prior to the date hereof. This Agreement does not affect any deferred compensation agreements, non-qualified retirement plans, or any other agreements entered into by the parties. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall not be entitled to any payments of benefits under any Other Agreement if the Executive receives payments or benefits under this Agreement (other than the excise tax-gross up provided for in Section 8 of this Agreement). There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein other than those expressly set forth herein and therein. This Agreement may not be altered, modified, or amended except by written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

c. No Waiver.

Any such waiver must be in writing and signed by Executive or an authorized officer of the Company, as the case may be.

d. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by Executive. This Agreement shall be assignable by the Company only to an entity which is owned, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part by the Company or by any successor to the Company or an acquirer of all or substantial all of the assets of the Company or all or substantially all of the assets of a group of subsidiaries and divisions of the Company, provided such entity or acquirer promptly assumes all of the obligations hereunder of the Company in a writing delivered to Executive and otherwise complies with the provisions hereof with regard to such assumption. Upon such assignment and assumption, all references to the Company herein shall be to the assignee entity or acquirer, as the case may be.

e. Successors; Binding Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, legatees and permitted assignees of the parties hereto.

Notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

g. Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from any and all amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

h. Survivorship. The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, including without limitation Section 5 hereof, shall survive any termination of Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to the agreed preservation of such rights and obligations.
