NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

1. EMPLOYMENT. The Company hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment with the Company, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Employment Agreement.

2. CAPACITY AND DUTIES. Executive is and shall be employed in the capacity of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company and shall have such other duties, responsibilities and authorities as are assigned to him by the Chief Executive of the Company or his designee, as long as such additional duties, responsibilities and authorities are consistent with Executive’s position and level of authority as the CFO of the Company. Executive shall report directly to the Chief Executive of the Company. Executive agrees to discharge his obligations hereunder and perform his duties in accordance with the general policies established by the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”).

3. EMPLOYMENT TERM. Employment of Executive by the Company pursuant to this Employment Agreement shall begin on April 1, 2004 and continue until March 31, 2005; provided, that commencing on April 1, 2005, and each one-year anniversary thereafter, the term of this Employment Agreement shall automatically be extended for one additional year (A) unless at least thirty (30) days prior to any such anniversary either party shall notify the other in writing that it does not wish to extend the term of this Employment Agreement beyond the then applicable expiration date or (B) unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Employment Agreement. References herein to the “Term” of this Employment Agreement shall mean the initial term and any extension of such initial term under this Section 3.

4. PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. Executive’s principal place of work shall be located at the Company’s headquarters in the Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida metropolitan area, but Executive acknowledges and agrees he nevertheless shall need to undertake national and international business travel as necessary in connection with his performance of his duties under this Employment Agreement.

5. COMPENSATION.

(a) Salary. During the Term and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Employment Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive an annual base salary (the “Annual Base Salary”), payable in a manner consistent with the Company’s payroll procedures for U.S. salaried employees. Executive’s initial Annual Base Salary shall be $350,000.00. Executive’s Annual Base Salary shall be subject to review within six (6) months of execution of this Agreement. The review will be conducted by the committee established by the Company to satisfy the audit committee requirement under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and Executive’s Annual Base Salary may be adjusted as deemed appropriate, but shall not be reduced.

(b) Performance Bonuses. In addition to the Annual Base Salary, Executive shall be entitled to receive an annual bonus opportunity under the performance bonus plan (“Performance Bonus Plan”) developed by the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (“H.R. Committee”); provided, however, that beginning with the Company’s Fiscal Year 2005 any bonus that becomes payable to Executive under the Performance Bonus Plan shall be subject to review by the committee established by the Company to satisfy the audit committee requirement under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Act”) and may be adjusted upon the Audit Committee’s reasonable determination that Executive has materially failed to meet Executive’s obligations under the Act. Upon the Company’s achievement of one hundred percent (100%) of the budgeted target levels of the Performance Bonus Plan, the Company shall pay Executive a bonus equal to 60% of Executive’s Base Salary. The amount of the bonus payable for achievement of more or less than one hundred percent (100%) of the budgeted target levels in the Performance Bonus Plan shall be calculated pursuant to the Performance Bonus Plan. The Company shall pay any bonus earned by Executive in a lump sum cash payment as promptly after the end of the relevant accounting period as the H.R. Committee is able to certify the Company’s achievement of the relevant financial goals, subject to any deferral election made by Executive under the terms of the Company’s deferred compensation plan for U.S. executives.

6. ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. During the Term, the Company shall pay to or provide Executive with the following additional compensation and benefits:

(a) Stock Options. Subject to Executive’s satisfaction of certain performance criteria established by the H.R. Committee in its discretion, Executive shall be eligible to receive stock option awards on such basis and at such times as the H.R. Committee may determine to be equitable and consistent with Executive’s position and performance; provided, however, that any such stock option shall be granted with an exercise price that is no less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date option is granted.

(b) Insurance. The Company shall provide Executive and his dependents with health, dental, short term disability, long term disability, and life benefits which shall be no less favorable than that from time to time made available to other senior executives of the Company located in the United States.

(c) 401K Plan. Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s 401K plan in accordance with its terms and conditions.

(d) Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of paid vacation during each year during the Term, prorated for partial years. Such vacation shall be subject to the Company’s policies and procedures for senior executives.

(e) Business Expenses. The Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for all reasonable, ordinary and necessary expenses he incurs in connection with his employment by the Company (including, but not limited to, automobile and other business travel, and customer entertainment expenses) on the same basis as other senior executives of the Company.

(f) Other Employee Benefits. Executive shall also be entitled to participate in any other fringe benefits, bonuses, and similar programs in accordance with the terms of such programs, including regular holidays, and shall be eligible to participate in all plans or arrangements maintained by the Company for the benefit of its employees or officers, including without limitation all compensation, welfare, bonus, incentive, retirement, thrift, pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation, employee loan, and insurance plans or arrangements. Executive shall at all times be eligible to receive benefits no less favorable than those which other senior executives are eligible to receive.

(a) By the Company.

(i) For Cause. The Company may terminate this Employment Agreement and Executive’s employment with the Company at any time for Cause (as defined in Section 9) (“Cause Termination”); provided, however, that the Company shall give Executive written notice of Cause Termination specifying the reason for the termination and shall give Executive an opportunity to address the Board before he is terminated for Cause.

(ii) By Company Notice. The Company may terminate this Employment Agreement and Executive’s employment with the Company upon thirty (30) days written notice for any reason not included in the definition of Cause (“Company Notice Termination”).

(b) Death or Disability. This Employment Agreement and Executive’s employment with the Company will terminate immediately upon Executive’s death or Disability (as defined in Section 9). If either party terminates Executive’s employment due to Disability, the terminating party shall give the other party written notice to that effect, and the termination shall be referred to herein as a “Disability Termination.”

(c) By Executive.

(i) For Good Reason. Executive may terminate this Employment Agreement and Executive’s employment by the Company at any time for Good Reason (as defined in Section 9) (“Good Reason Termination”) by giving written notice of termination specifying the reason for the termination. In the event the Company disputes Executive’s Good Reason Termination, the Company shall notify Executive in writing of such dispute within ten (10) days of receiving notice of such termination for Good Reason.

(a) Company Notice Termination, Good Reason Termination and Failure to Extend the Term. In the event of a Company Notice Termination, a Good Reason Termination or a Failure to Extend the Term, the Company shall pay to Executive termination payments in an amount equal to the greater of (A) two (2) times Executive’s Annual Base Salary at the rate in effect on the date the notice of the Good Reason Termination or Company Notice Termination is given or the date the Company delivers its notice to Executive that it does not wish to extend the Term (as applicable) or (B) $700,000.00. The Company shall deliver a lump sum payment equal to one-half (1/2) of such amount to Executive by wire transfer or cashier’s check within ten (10) business days after the termination of employment. The remainder shall be paid (without interest) to Executive in a series of twelve (12) equal monthly payments, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of termination. These payments shall be offset by any amounts the Company pays to Executive as annual salary for his services during the notice period following the date the Company Notice Termination was given or the date the Company delivered its notice to Executive that it did not wish to extend the Term (as applicable), but shall not be offset by any amounts Executive may receive as compensation for services he performs for any other employer after his employment with the Company terminates. In addition, the Company shall continue to provide Executive and his family, for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the date of termination, with the same benefits coverage being provided to Executive under Section 6(b) on the date the notice of termination is given; provided that the Company shall have no obligation to continue to provide Executive with these benefits for any period after the date Executive obtains comparable

benefits (with no significant pre-existing condition exclusions) as a result of Executive’s employment in a new position; provided, further, that in the event the Company is unable to provide Executive with the insurance benefit coverage required under this provision, then the Company shall pay Executive cash equal to the value of the insurance benefit coverage (based upon the cost to Executive to obtain comparable benefits at standard rates). Executive shall also be entitled to any of his Annual Base Salary accrued through the date of termination, payments for any accrued but unused vacation for the year of termination, any bonuses earned but not previously paid with respect to the accounting period of the Company most recently ended, and any vested benefits payable to Executive under the terms of any deferred compensation plan, 401K plan, stock option plan, or other benefit plans maintained by the Company in which Executive participated. Additionally, notwithstanding the terms of the Company’s stock option plan(s), upon a Company Notice Termination, a Good Reason Termination or a Failure to Extend the Term, and subject to the Executive’s adherence to the terms of such non-competition, confidentiality and similar restrictive covenants as the H.R. Committee may require to be included in the relevant stock option agreements, (i) all stock options received by Executive shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable for a period of not less than thirty-six (36) months (but no later than the expiration of any such stock option’s original term) and (ii) any performance conditions to which a stock option grant to Executive is subject may be waived by the H.R. Committee in its discretion, and the underlying stock option shall become fully vested and exercisable for a period of not less than thirty-six (36) months (but no later than the expiration of any such stock option’s original term).

(b) Cause or Disability Termination and Executive Notice Termination. In the event of a Cause Termination, Executive Notice Termination or Disability Termination, Executive shall be entitled to receive any of his Annual Base Salary accrued through the date of termination, any accrued but unpaid vacation pay for the year of termination, any bonuses earned but not previously paid with respect to the accounting period of the Company most recently ended, and any vested benefits payable to Executive under the terms of any deferred compensation plan, 401K plan, stock option plan, or other plans maintained by the Company in which Executive participates.

(c) Death. Upon Executive death during the Term, Executive’s estate shall be entitled to receive any of his Annual Base Salary accrued through the date of death, any accrued but unpaid vacation pay for the year of death, any bonuses earned but not previously paid with respect to the accounting period of the Company most recently ended, and a pro-rata portion of the performance bonus under Section 5(b) to which Executive would have been entitled in the year of death if he had remained employed. In addition, the Company shall pay any death benefits owed in respect of Executive under the terms of any life insurance plan, retirement or deferred compensation plan, or other benefit plan of the Company, to Executive’s surviving spouse or such other beneficiary as Executive has designated.
