                         ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
                               NOVEMBER 15, 1999

                                PROXY STATEMENT

     This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of Boca Resorts, Inc. (the "Company"), for use
at the 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company or any adjournment or
postponement thereof (the "Annual Meeting"). The Annual Meeting will be held at
1:30 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on November 15, 1999, at The Broward Center
for the Performing Arts, Amaturo Theater, 201 SW Fifth Avenue, Fort Lauderdale,
Florida 33312.

     It is anticipated that this Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting,
the proxy card and the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders will be mailed to
stockholders of the Company on or about October 1, 1999.

RECORD DATE

     Only stockholders of record at the close of business on September 22, 1999
(the "Record Date") are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

SHARES OUTSTANDING AND VOTING RIGHTS

     As of the Record Date, there were 38,461,102 shares of the Company's Class
A common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock") and
255,000 shares of the Company's Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Class B Common Stock," and together with the Class A Common Stock, the
"Common Stock"), issued and outstanding, all of which are entitled to be voted
at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one
vote and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 10,000 votes, on each
matter submitted to stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting.
Stockholders do not have the right to cumulative voting for directors.

     All of the shares of Class B Common Stock are currently owned by H. Wayne
Huizenga, the Chairman of the Board. This voting structure was created in
response to a requirement of the National Hockey League (the "NHL") that Mr.
Huizenga maintain voting control of the Company at all times, unless otherwise
permitted by the NHL. Accordingly, Mr. Huizenga is able to control the outcome
on the election of directors, the proposed amendment to the Amended and Restated
1996 Stock Option Plan and other matters which may properly come before the
Company's stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting.

PROXY PROCEDURE

     Proxies properly executed and returned in a timely manner will be voted at
the Annual Meeting in accordance with the directions noted thereon. If no
direction is indicated, proxies will be voted for the election of the nominees
named herein as directors and in accordance with the judgment of the persons
acting under the proxies on other matters presented for a vote. Any stockholder
giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted, either
in person at the Annual Meeting, by written notice to the Secretary of the
Company or by delivery of a later-dated proxy.

     Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated by
the inspectors of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting and will be counted
in determining whether or not a quorum is present. A proxy submitted by a
stockholder may indicate that all or a portion of the shares represented by such
proxy are not being voted by such stockholder with respect to a particular
matter ("non-voted shares"). This could occur, for example, when a broker is not
permitted to vote shares held in "street name" on certain matters in the absence
of instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Non-voted shares with
respect to a particular matter will not be considered shares present and
entitled to vote on such matter, although such
<PAGE>   5

shares will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.
Shares voting to abstain as to a particular matter, and directions to "withhold
authority" to vote for directors, will not be considered non-voted shares and
will be considered present and entitled to vote with respect to such matter.

VOTING REQUIREMENTS

     Provided that a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, each director will
be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the total
votes represented by the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock and the
Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, present at the Annual
Meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote. The proposed amendment to
the Company's Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option
Plan"), and any other matters which may properly come before the Annual Meeting
will be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
total votes represented.

COSTS OF SOLICITATION

     All costs of solicitation will be borne by the Company. The solicitation is
to be principally conducted by mail and may be supplemented by telephone and
personal contacts by directors, executive officers and employees of the Company,
without additional remuneration. Arrangements will be made with brokerage
houses, banks and custodians, nominees and other fiduciaries to forward
solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of stock held of record. The
Company will reimburse such persons for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with the distribution of proxy materials.

THE COMPANY'S ACCOUNTANTS

     Arthur Andersen has served as the independent accountants for the Company
for many years. It is anticipated that their representative will be present at
the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he
desires to do so. He will also be available to respond to any appropriate
questions. The Audit Committee will make its recommendation to the full board
for the selection of independent accountants for fiscal 2000 at the first Board
of Director meeting following the Annual Meeting.

non-audit professional services provided by the independent auditors and (d)
obtaining from both management and the independent auditors their observations
on the Company's system of internal accounting controls.

     The Compensation Committee, which met once during the year ended June 30,
1999, consists of Messrs. Egan, Johnson and Latimer, with Mr. Egan serving as
Chairman. The Compensation Committee reviews the Company's compensation
philosophy and programs, exercises authority with respect to the payment of
salaries and incentive compensation to directors and executive officers, and is

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

     Directors who are also employees of the Company or one of its subsidiaries
do not receive additional compensation for serving on the Board of Directors.
The Company's current policy provides that each non-employee director receive,
upon such person's initial election as a director, an option under the Stock
Option Plan to acquire, at the then fair market value, 25,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock and, subject to certain limitations, an annual option under the
Stock Option Plan to acquire, at the then fair market value, 20,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock at each annual meeting of the Company's stockholders at
which such director is re-elected or remains a director. The Stock Option Plan
provides that options granted thereunder vest in four equal annual installments
beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant, unless otherwise
provided by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. The Company
also reimburses directors for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
meetings of the Board of Directors or committees thereof, in their capacity as
directors. The Board of Directors will periodically review and may revise the
compensation policies for non-employee directors.

(1) These options become exercisable in four equal annual installments
    commencing on January 4, 2000.
(2) As required by the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
    Commission (the "SEC"), potential realizable values are based on the
    prescribed assumption that the Company's Common Stock will appreciate in
    value from the date of grant to the end of the option term at rates
    (compounded annually) of 5% and 10%, respectively, and therefore are not
    intended to forecast possible future appreciation, if any, in the price of
    the Company's Common Stock.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

     The Stock Option Plan is designed as a means to attract, retain and
motivate key employees and directors. The Compensation Committee is currently
responsible for administering and interpreting the Stock Option Plan.

     Options are granted under the Stock Option Plan on such terms and at such
prices as determined by the Compensation Committee, except that the per share
exercise price of the options cannot be less than the fair market value of the
Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. Each option is for a term of not less
than five years or more than ten years, as determined by the Compensation
Committee. The Stock Option Plan provides that options granted thereunder vest
in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date
of grant, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors or the
Compensation Committee. However, in the event of a change of control (as such
term is defined in the Stock Option Plan),

                                        8
<PAGE>   12

all outstanding options become immediately exercisable. Options granted under
the Stock Option Plan are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution.

     As of September 22, 1999, the Company had granted, net of cancellations,
options to purchase an aggregate of 4,497,498 shares of the Class A Common Stock
with exercise prices ranging from $9.31 per share to $27.30 per share, leaving
502,502 options available for future grants. If the amendment to the Stock
Option Plan set forth in "Proposal Two" below is approved, 3,002,502 options
will be available for future grant. The exercise price of each of these
outstanding options is the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on the
date of grant.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     The Compensation Committee is composed of three outside (non-management)
directors of the Company. The committee's responsibilities include reviewing and
making recommendations to the Board generally with respect to the compensation
of the Company's executive officers. The Board of Directors reviews these
recommendations and approves all executive compensation action.

     The Company's executive compensation program is designed to align
compensation with the Company's business strategy, values and management
initiatives. Historically, the components of the Company's compensation program
for executive officers has included base compensation and stock options.

  Base Compensation

     The committee has evaluated and determined appropriate ranges of pay for
all categories of management to facilitate a Company-wide systematic salary
structure with appropriate internal alignment. In determining appropriate pay
ranges, the committee annually examines market compensation levels for
executives who are currently employed in similar positions in public companies
with comparable revenues, net income and market capitalization.

  Stock Options

     Stock options align the interests of employees and stockholders by
providing value to the employee when the stock price increases. All options are
granted at 100% of the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date
of grant.

     Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), limits an employer's income tax deduction for compensation paid to
certain key executives of a public company to $1,000,000 per executive per year.
The Company has no executives whose salaries currently approach this level and,
accordingly, has not addressed what approach it will take with respect to
section 162(m), except to the extent the Stock Option Plan contains standard
limits and provisions on awards which are extended to enable such awards to be
exempt from the Section 162(m) deduction limits.

     Mr. Huizenga, who has been the Chairman of the Board since September 1996,
is not paid a cash salary or bonus. In January 1999, the Board of Directors
approved a grant of options to Mr. Huizenga under the Stock Option Plan to
purchase 350,000 shares of Class A Common Stock exercisable at a price of $9.31
per share. This compares to an award of stock options entitling him to purchase
350,000 shares of Class A Common Stock exercisable at a price of $17.25 during
the prior fiscal year. The option award reflects Mr. Huizenga accomplishing
certain strategic goals as well as the Company meeting certain financial
performance objectives. Specifically, the Company's net income increased to $5.4
million for the year ended June 30, 1999, compared to net income of $1.3 million
for the year ended June 30, 1998. In addition, available capital to the Company
increased through a new $146 million secured credit facility. It is expected
that a significant portion of the proceeds from the new credit facility will be
used to expand the amenities and existing infrastructure at certain of the
Company's resorts. The Board of Directors also considered other business
accomplishments and expected future contribution by Mr. Huizenga to the Company.
The number of shares subject to such options was determined by the Board of
Directors to be appropriate based upon the foregoing factors. The options have a
10-year term and vest in four equal annual installments beginning on

                                        9
<PAGE>   13

January 4, 2000. The Compensation Committee believes that tying the remuneration
of Mr. Huizenga to the performance of the Class A Common Stock will enhance the
long-term performance and stability of the Company.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION IN COMPENSATION
DECISIONS

     No member of the Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of the
Company or of any of its subsidiaries during the year ended June 30, 1999 or was
formerly an officer of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries. During the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, none of the executive officers of the Company
served on the compensation committee of any other entity, any of whose directors
or executive officers served either on the Board of Directors of the Company or
on the Compensation Committee of the Company. During the fiscal year ended June
30, 1999, Mr. Huizenga served as a director of Extended Stay and AutoNation,
during which time Mr. Johnson served as an executive officer of Extended Stay
and Messrs. Berrard and Hudson served as executive officers of AutoNation. In
addition, Messrs. Huizenga and Egan have served as directors of theglobe.com.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

     The following graph compares the cumulative total stockholder returns on
the Class A Common Stock, based on the market price of Class A Common Stock from
November 13, 1996, the date of the pricing of the Company's initial public
offering (the "IPO") through June 30, 1999, with the cumulative total return of
each of (a) the S&P 500 Index and (b) a peer group consisting of Four Seasons
Hotels, Inc., Marriott International, Inc., American Skiing Company, Sun
International Hotels, Ltd. and Vail Resorts, Inc. (the "Peer Group"). While the
Peer Group consists of high-end resort and hotel companies, the Company believes
that there is no publicly-traded entity which is truly comparable to the
Company, due to the diversity of the Company's revenues and the unique nature of
its assets. The graph assumes that the value of the investment in the Class A
Common Stock and in each index was $100 at November 13, 1996 and that all
dividends were reinvested. The graph lines connect year end dates and do not
reflect fluctuations between those dates.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

     The following is a summary of certain agreements and transactions between
or among the Company and certain related parties. It is the Company's policy to
enter into transactions with related parties on terms that, on the whole, are no
less favorable than those that would be available from unaffiliated parties.
Based on the Company's experience in the business segments in which it operates
and the terms of its transactions with unaffiliated parties, it is the Company's
belief that all of the transactions described below involving the Company met
that standard at the time such transactions were effected.

     The Company pays a management fee to Huizenga Holdings, Inc., a corporation
whose sole shareholder is Mr. Huizenga, equal to 1% of total revenue, excluding
all NHL national television revenue, enterprise rights and expansion fees. In
exchange for a management fee, Huizenga Holdings, Inc. assists the Company in:
obtaining financing relating to business operations and acquisitions,
identifying and reviewing potential acquisitions, developing tax planning
strategies, formulating risk management strategies and providing such other
services as may be reasonably requested by the Company. Such fees totaled
approximately $3.9 million, $2.9 million and $498,000 for the years ended June
30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Management believes that the terms of the
management agreement with Huizenga Holdings, Inc. are as favorable to the
Company as would be obtained from an unaffiliated party in a comparable
transaction.

     In April 1999, the Panthers amended its contract with SportsChannel
Florida, a Florida limited partnership which is 70% owned by Mr. Huizenga. Under
the terms of the amended contract, the Panthers extended its existing contract
with SportsChannel Florida for an additional six seasons. The SportsChannel
Florida contract, which grants local television broadcast and pay television
rights to SportsChannel Florida, provides for payments to the Panthers of annual
rights fees of $5.5 million for the 1999-2000 season, with such fees increasing
approximately 2.75% each season through its term. Based, in part, on a fairness
opinion received from Arthur Andersen LLP Valuation Services Group and guidance
from the NHL, the Company believes that the contract is fair to the Company's
stockholders and that the terms of the contract are as favorable to the Company
as would be obtained from an unaffiliated party in a comparable transaction.

     During the year ended June 30, 1999 the Company paid Callaghan & Partners,
Ltd. $1.0 million for construction and development services. Dennis Callaghan, a
director of the Company, is President of Callaghan & Partners, Ltd., an entity
founded by Mr. Callaghan to acquire, develop, finance, renovate and manage
resorts, hotels and residential and commercial properties in the United States
and abroad.

     The Company subleases certain office space and parking to NationsRent. The
monthly lease amount paid by NationsRent is approximately $44,000, which
includes a share of the operating expenses of this location based upon estimated
usage. Mr. Huizenga is a director of NationsRent.

     In connection with the Company's initial public offering, Mr. Huizenga,
contributed to the Company his 78% ownership interest in Decoma Miami
Associates, Ltd. ("Decoma"); a note representing the outstanding amount which
one of the Company's subsidiaries had previously borrowed from him, plus
interest; his ownership interest in the Florida Panthers Hockey Club; his
ownership interest in Arena Development Company, Ltd., an entity which developed
the National Car Rental Center; and his ownership interest in Arena Operating
Company, Ltd., an entity which operates the National Car Rental Center; in
exchange for 5,275,678 shares of Common Stock, of which 5,020,678 shares were
Class A Common Stock and 255,000 shares were Class B Common Stock. The Company
repaid $20.0 million in debt owed to Panthers Investment Venture, one of the
Company's affiliates controlled by Mr. Huizenga. The National Car Rental Center
is home to the Florida Panthers Hockey Club and is a state-of-the-art,
multi-purpose entertainment complex located in the center of South Florida's
tri-county area, which encompasses a population of approximately 4.5 million.
Broward County owns the National Car Rental Center.

     In connection with the acquisition of the Hyatt Regency Pier 66 Hotel and
Marina and the Radisson Bahia Mar Resort and Yachting Center in March 1997,
Messrs. Huizenga, Berrard, Johnson and Rochon (each directors of the Company)
received 972,018, 592,877, 451,248 and 379,062 shares of the Class A Common
Stock, respectively, in exchange for their ownership interests in these resorts.

                                       12
<PAGE>   16

     In 1994, Mr. Huizenga purchased a 50% interest in the predecessor to
Leisure Management International, Inc., which manages the Miami Arena under a
management agreement with Decoma. Under the terms of the management agreement,
Leisure Management received from Decoma management fees of approximately
$150,000, $137,000 and $120,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively. The Company also manages and operates the National Car
Rental Center. The Company has subcontracted with Leisure Management to manage
the National Car Rental Center for $200,000 annually with an incentive bonus of
up to $50,000 annually and with Front Row Communications, Inc., an entity
affiliated with Mr. Huizenga, that marketed luxury suites and obtained the
initial corporate sponsorships at the arena. Front Row received 10% of all first
year arena advertising, including naming rights revenue at the National Car
Rental Center. The Company has no further obligations with Front Row.

               COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and
executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of the Class A
Common Stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of
change in ownership of the Class A Common Stock. Such persons are required by
regulations of the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports
they file.

     To the Company's knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such
reports furnished to the Company, all Section 16(a) filings with respect to the
Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 were timely made.

                                  PROPOSAL ONE

                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     The Company's bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of
one or more members, the exact number of which may be determined from time to
time by the Company's stockholders or the Board of Directors. On August 24,
1999, the Board of Directors nominated all of its then present members for re-
election as directors for a term expiring at the Company's 2000 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders or until a successor of each has been elected and qualified,
except for Chris Evert whose term as a director expires on November 15, 1999 and
who has declined to be re-nominated to the Company's Board of Directors
following her current term in order to more fully concentrate on personal,
charitable and business interests and Ezzat S. Coutry who was nominated by the
Board of Directors in September 1999. All nominees have indicated their
willingness to serve and, unless otherwise specified on the proxy, it is the
intention of the proxy holders to vote for the nominees listed below. The
confirmed nominees for the Board of Directors for the term expiring at the
Company's 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until a successor of each is
duly elected and qualified are as follows:

              Steven R. Berrard
              Dennis J. Callaghan
              Ezzat S. Coutry
              Michael S. Egan
              Harris W. Hudson
              H. Wayne Huizenga
              George D. Johnson, Jr.
              Henry Latimer
              Richard C. Rochon

     Biographical information relating to each of these nominees for director
appears under the heading "BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION REGARDING DIRECTORS AND
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS."

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF
EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR NAMED ABOVE. PROXY CARDS EXECUTED AND RETURNED
WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS CONTRARY INSTRUCTIONS ARE INDICATED THEREON.

                                  PROPOSAL TWO

                  AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S STOCK OPTION PLAN

     The Board of Directors has unanimously approved, subject to stockholder
approval, an amendment to the Stock Option Plan to increase, by 2,500,000
shares, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which are available for
issuance under the Stock Option Plan as a result of grants, from time to time,
to employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as to
independent contractors and consultants performing services for the Company and
its subsidiaries. The Stock Option Plan is designed as a means to attract,
retain and motivate directors, key employees and consultants performing services
for the Company. The Compensation Committee is responsible for administering and
interpreting the Stock Option Plan.

     Options are granted under the Stock Option Plan on such terms and at such
prices as determined by the Compensation Committee, except that the per share
exercise price of the options cannot be less than the fair market value of the
Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. Each option is for a term of not less
than five years or more than ten years, as determined by the Compensation
Committee. The Stock Option Plan provides that options granted thereunder vest
in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date
of grant, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors or the
Compensation Committee. However, in the event of a change of control (as such
term is defined in the Stock Option Plan), all outstanding options become
immediately exercisable. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are not
transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

                                       17
<PAGE>   21

     Under the Stock Option Plan, 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are
currently reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options. As of
September 22, 1999, the Company had granted, net of cancellations, options to
purchase an aggregate of 4,497,498 shares of the Class A Common Stock, leaving
502,502 options available for future grants. The Board of Directors believes
additional options must be available for issuance under the Stock Option Plan to
enable the Company to continue to attract, retain and motivate directors, key
employees and consultants performing services for the Company. If the amendment
to the 1996 Stock Option Plan is approved, 3,002,502 options will be available
for future grant.

                               BOCA RESORTS, INC.

                    -----------------------------------------

                           SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
                             1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN

                    -----------------------------------------



         1. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE. This Second Amended and Restated 1996 Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan") is intended to provide certain employees, directors
(both employee and non-employee directors), independent contractors and
consultants of Boca Resorts, Inc., formerly known as Florida Panthers Holdings,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and its subsidiaries with an added
incentive to provide their services to the Company and to induce them to exert
their maximum effort toward the Company's success through the encouragement of
stock ownership in the Company by such persons.

         2. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the
"Committee"), appointed by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board of
Directors"), consisting of two or more outside directors (each of whom qualifies
as an "outside director" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and as a "non-employee director" under Rule 16b-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")),
whose interpretation of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall be final and
conclusive. The selection of employees, directors (both employee and
non-employee directors), independent contractors and consultants for
participation in the Plan and all decisions concerning the timing, pricing and
amount of any grant or award under the Plan shall be made solely by the
Committee. In the event a Committee of two or more qualifying directors cannot
be formed, the Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors. No member
of the Board of Directors or of the Committee shall be liable for any action or
determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option granted
or option agreement entered into hereunder.

         3. ELIGIBILITY. Options shall be granted only to employees (including
officers) and directors (employee and non-employee directors) of the Company and
it subsidiaries, as well as independent contractors and consultants performing
services for the Company and it subsidiaries (collectively, the "Optionees"),
selected initially and from time to time by the Committee on the basis of their
importance to the business of the Company or its subsidiaries.

         4. GRANTING OF OPTIONS. Subject to Section 10 of the Plan, the Company
may grant to Optionees from time to time options to purchase an aggregate of up
to 7,500,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Class A Common Stock"). In the event that an option expires or is
terminated or canceled unexercised as to any shares, such released shares may
again be optioned (including a grant in substitution for a canceled option).
Shares subject to options may be made available from authorized and unissued
shares of Class A Common Stock. Options granted under the Plan shall not
constitute "incentive stock options" for purposes of Section 422 of the Code.
The maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock with respect to which
options may be granted during any calendar year to any person shall be 500,000.
All options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by agreements, to be
executed by the Company and by the Optionee, in such form or forms as the
Committee shall from time to time determine. Option agreements covering options
granted from time to time or at the same time need not contain provisions
specified in the Plan; provided, however, that all such option agreements shall
comply with all terms and provisions of the Plan. The date of grant of an option
under this Plan shall be the date as of which the Committee approves the grant.


<PAGE>   24

         5. OPTION PRICE. The option price shall be determined by the Committee
and, subject to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, shall be not less than the
fair market value, as determined by the Committee at the time the option is
granted, of the shares of Class A Common Stock subject to the option.

         6. DURATION OF OPTIONS, INCREMENTS AND EXTENSIONS. Subject to the
provisions of Section 8 hereof, each option shall be for such term of not less
than five years nor more than 10 years, as shall be determined by the Committee
at the time the option is granted. Each option shall become exercisable with
respect to 25% of the total number of shares subject to the option 12 months
after the date of its grant and with respect to each additional 25% at the end
of each 12-month period thereafter during the succeeding three years.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may in its discretion (i)
specifically provide for another time or times of exercise at the time the
option is granted; (ii) accelerate the exercisability of any option subject to
such terms and conditions as the Committee deems necessary and appropriate; or
(iii) at any time prior to the expiration or termination of any option
previously granted, extend the term of any option (including such options held
by officers) for such additional period as the Committee in its discretion shall
determine. In no event, however, shall the aggregate option period with respect
to any option, including the original term of the option and any extensions
thereof, exceed 10 years. Subject to the foregoing and the other provisions of
this Plan, all or any part of the shares to which the right to purchase has
accrued may be purchased at the time of such accrual or at any time or times
thereafter during the option period.

         In the event of a Change in Control (as defined below), all outstanding
options shall become immediately exercisable. Notwithstanding any other
provisions hereunder, during the period of 30 days after a Change in Control,
each Optionee shall have the right to require the Company to purchase from such
Optionee any option granted under this Plan at a purchase price equal to the
excess of fair market value per share over the option price multiplied by the
number of option shares specified by the Optionee for purchase in a written
notice to the Company, attention of the Secretary. A "Change in Control" shall
be deemed to occur if any person (i) shall acquire direct or indirect control of
at least 50% of the outstanding voting stock, or (ii) has the power (whether
such power arises as a result of the ownership of capital stock by contract or
otherwise) or the ability to elect or cause the election of directors consisting
at the time of such election of a majority of the Board of Directors. As used
herein, "person" shall mean any person, corporation, partnership, joint venture
or other entity or any group (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act, and the rules promulgated thereunder). For purposes of this
paragraph, "fair market value per share" shall mean the average of the highest
sales price per share of the Class A Common Stock as quoted on The Nasdaq Stock
Market, or by the principal exchange upon which the Class A Common Stock is
listed, on each of the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which
such individual so notifies the Company. The amount payable to each such
individual by the Company shall be in cash or by certified check and shall be
reduced by any taxes required to be withheld.

         7. EXERCISE OF OPTION. As a condition to the exercise of any option,
the Quoted Price (as defined below) per share of Class A Common Stock on the
date of exercise must be equal to or exceed the option price referred to in
Section 5 hereof. An option may be exercised by giving written notice to the
Company, attention of the Secretary, specifying the number of shares to be
purchased, accompanied by the full purchase price for the shares to be purchased
(i) in cash, (ii) by check, (iii) to the extent permitted by applicable law by a
promissory note in a form specified by the Company and payable to the Company no
later than 15 business days after the date of exercise of the option, (iv) if so
approved by the Committee, by shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, (v)
by delivering a written direction to the Company that the option be exercised
pursuant to a "cashless" exercise/sale procedure (pursuant to which funds to pay
for exercise of the option are delivered to the Company by a broker upon receipt
of stock certificates from the Company) or a cashless exercise/loan procedure
(pursuant to which the Optionee would obtain a margin loan from a broker to fund
the exercise) through a licensed broker acceptable to the Company whereby the
stock certificate or certificates for the shares for which the option is
exercised will be delivered to such broker as the agent for the individual
exercising the option and the broker will deliver to the Company cash (or cash
equivalents acceptable to the Company) equal to the option price for the shares
of Class A Common Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of the option plus
the amount (if any) of federal and other taxes that the Company may, in its
judgment, be required to withhold with respect to the exercise of the option or
(vi) by a combination of these methods of payment. The "Quoted Price" and the
per share value of





<PAGE>   25

Class A Common Stock for purposes of paying the option price in accordance with
the immediately preceding sentence shall equal the closing selling price per
share of Class A Common Stock one business day prior to the exercise date.

         At the time of any exercise of any option, the Company may, if it shall
determine it necessary or desirable for any reason, require the Optionee (or his
or her heirs, legatees or legal representative, as the case may be), as a
condition upon the exercise thereof, to deliver to the Company a written
representation of present intention to purchase the shares for investment and
not for distribution. In the event such representation is required to be
delivered, an appropriate legend may be placed upon each certificate delivered
to the Optionee (or his or her heirs, legatees or legal representative, as the
case may be) upon his or her exercise of part or all of the option and a stop
transfer order may be placed with the transfer agent. Each option shall also be
subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Company determines, in its
discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares
subject to the option upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal
law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary
or desirable as a condition of or in connection with, the issuance or purchase
of the shares thereunder, the option may not be exercised in whole or in part
unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have
been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company
in its sole discretion. The Company shall not be obligated to take any
affirmative action in order to cause the exercisability or vesting of an option
or to cause the exercise of an option or the issuance of shares pursuant thereto
to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.

         At the time of the exercise of any option, the Committee may require,
as a condition of the exercise of such option, the Optionee (i) to pay the
Company an amount equal to the amount of tax the Company may be required to
withhold to obtain a deduction for federal income tax purposes as a result of
the exercise of such option by the Optionee, or (ii) to make such other
arrangements with the Company which would enable the Company to pay such
withholding tax, including, without limitation, holding back a number of shares
issuable upon exercise of the option equal to the amount of such withholding
tax, or permitting the Optionee to deliver a promissory note in a form specified
by the Committee or withhold taxes from other compensation payable to the
Optionee by the Company, or (iii) a combination of the foregoing.

         8. TERMINATION OF RELATIONSHIP AND EXERCISE THEREAFTER. In the event
the employment, directorship, contractor or consulting relationship between the
Company and an Optionee is terminated for any reason other than death, permanent
disability or retirement, such Optionee's options shall expire and all rights to
purchase shares pursuant thereto shall terminate immediately. The Committee may,
in its sole discretion, permit any option to remain exercisable for such period
after such termination as the Committee may prescribe, but in no event after the
expiration date of the option. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee,
temporary absence from employment or as a member of the Board of Directors, an
independent contractor or a consultant because of illness, vacation, approved
leaves of absence and transfers of employment among the Company and its
subsidiaries, shall not be considered to terminate employment, directorship or
contract or consulting relationship or to interrupt continuous employment,
directorship or contract or consulting relationship.

         In the event of termination of said relationship because of death,
permanent disability (as that term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code,
as now in effect or as subsequently amended), or retirement, the option may be
exercised in full, without regard to any installments or vesting schedule
established under Section 6 hereof, by the Optionee or, if he or she is not
living, by his or her heirs, legatees or legal representatives (as the case may
be) during its specific term prior to three years after the date of death,
permanent disability or retirement, or such longer period as the Committee may
prescribe, but in no event after the expiration date of the option.

         9. NON-TRANSFERABILITY. During the lifetime of the Optionee, options
shall be exercisable only by the Optionee, and options shall not be assignable
or transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined
by the Code, or Title I of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder.


<PAGE>   26


         10. ADJUSTMENTS. The number of shares subject to the Plan and options
granted under the Plan shall be adjusted as follows: (i) in the event that the
number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is changed by any stock
dividend, stock split or combination of shares, the number of shares subject to
the Plan and to options granted hereunder shall be proportionately adjusted;
(ii) in the event of any merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company
with any other corporation or corporations, there shall be substituted, on an
equitable basis, for each share of Class A Common Stock then subject to the
Plan, whether or not at the time subject to outstanding options, the number and
kind of shares of stock or other securities to which the holders of shares of
Class A Common Stock will be entitled pursuant to the transaction; and (iii) in
the event of any other relevant change in the capitalization of the Company, an
equitable adjustment shall be made in the number of shares of Class A Common
Stock then subject to the Plan, whether or not then subject to outstanding
options. In the event of any such adjustment, the purchase price per share shall
be proportionately adjusted. The grant of an option pursuant to the Plan shall
not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make
adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes in its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell
or transfer all or any part of its business or capital.

         11. AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board of Directors may amend or discontinue
the Plan at any time. However, no amendment or discontinuance shall be made
without the requisite approval of the shareholders of the Company if such
approval is required as a condition to the Plan continuing to comply with the
provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.

         12. CASH PROCEEDS. Any cash proceeds received by the Company from the
sale of shares pursuant to the options granted under the Plan shall be used for
general corporate purposes.

         13. NO IMPAIRMENT OF RIGHTS. Nothing contained in the Plan or any
option granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Optionee any right to be
continued in the employment of the Company or its subsidiaries or to be
continued as an independent contractor or a consultant to the Company or its
subsidiaries, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its
subsidiaries to terminate such employment or contract or consulting relationship
and/or to remove any Optionee who is a director from service on the Board of
Directors or the board of directors of any of the Company's subsidiaries at any
time in accordance with the Company's By-Laws or any provisions of applicable
law.

         14. COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 16b-3. The Plan is intended to comply with all
provisions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors promulgated under the Exchange Act
necessary to secure an exemption from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for
participating officers and directors, regardless of whether such provisions are
set forth in the Plan. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action of the
Plan administrators fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the
extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Plan administrators.

         15. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of the Plan or any option agreement
shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any
jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and
enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain
enforceable in any other jurisdiction.

         16. GOVERNING LAW. The validity and construction of this Plan and the
instruments evidencing the options granted hereunder shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Florida (excluding its choice of law rules).

         17. EFFECTIVE DATE. The effective date of the Plan shall be November
15, 1999, the date the Plan was adopted and authorized by the Company's
stockholders.
