7.
Leaves of Absence. For purposes of this Option, your Employment does not terminate when you go on a bona fide leave of absence that was approved by the Company in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued Employment crediting, or when continued Employment crediting is required by applicable law. However, your Employment will be treated as terminating ninety (90) days after you went on leave, unless your right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Your Employment terminates in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active work. The Company determines which leaves count for this purpose, and when your service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.
8.

11.
Restrictions on Resale. By signing this Agreement, you agree not to exercise this Option or sell any Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option at a time when applicable laws, regulations or Company or underwriter trading policies prohibit exercise or sale.
If the sale of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but an exemption is available which requires an investment or other representation, you shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Shares being acquired upon exercise of this Option are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.
12.
Transfer of Option. Prior to your death, only you may exercise this Option. You cannot transfer or assign this Option. For instance, you may not sell this Option or use it as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, this Option will immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of this Option in your will.
Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a Notice of Exercise from your spouse or former spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize such individual’s interest in your Option in any other way.

17.
Applicable Law. This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Florida (without regard to their choice of law provisions).
