NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1997
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Pediatrix")
presented herein do not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, these financial statements include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. The interim condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 31, 1997.
2. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS:
During the first six months of 1997, the Company completed the
acquisition of six physician group practices in Dallas, Texas;
Albuquerque, New Mexico; Tacoma, Washington; South Bend, Indiana;
Pasadena, California and Columbia, South Carolina. Additionally, 3
neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) were added through the Company's
internal marketing activities. Total cash paid for these units
approximated $27 million, adding a total of 14 NICUs.
The Company has accounted for the acquisitions using the purchase
method of accounting and the excess of cost over fair value of net
assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 25
years. The results of operations of the acquired practices have been
included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of
acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma information combines the consolidated
results of operations of the Company and the physician group practices
acquired during 1996 and 1997 as if the acquisitions had occurred on
January 1, 1996:

operations.

</TABLE>
4. NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE:
Primary and fully diluted net income per share is calculated by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent
shares consist of the dilutive effect of outstanding options calculated
using the treasury stock method.
5. CONTINGENCIES:
During the ordinary course of business, the Company has become a party
to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which
involve claims of medical malpractice and are generally covered by
insurance. The Company believes that the outcome of such legal actions
and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity,
notwithstanding any possible insurance recovery.
The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue
Service for the tax years ended December 31, 1992, 1993, and 1994. The
IRS has challenged certain deductions that, if disallowed, would result
in additional taxes of approximately $4.5 million, plus interest. The
Company has reviewed the IRS matters under consideration and believes
that the tax returns are substantially correct as filed. The Company
intends to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments and believes it
has adequately provided for any liability that may result from this
examination. The Company and its tax advisors believe that the ultimate
resolution of the examination will not have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
The Company has been notified by a hospital customer of a dispute
regarding the interpretation of the customer's contract with the
Company. The customer believes that the Company should refund
approximately $7.5 million of payments made to the Company over the
last five years. The Company disagrees with the customer's
interpretation of the contract and believes that the matter will be
resolved amicably. In the unlikely event that the Company cannot
resolve this matter amicably, the Company intends to vigorously
litigate the matter and assert all its legal defenses. The Company
believes that the ultimate resolution of the matter will not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

(UNAUDITED)
6. CHANGES TO ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In February, 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share". This statement is designed to improve the earnings per
share ("EPS") information provided in financial statements by
simplifying the existing computational guidelines, revising the
disclosure requirements, and increasing the comparability of EPS data
on an international basis. SFAS 128 is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Under the
provisions of SFAS 128, basic EPS would have been $.32 and $.23 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $.61 and
$.43 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Diluted EPS would have been the same as the reported amounts.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of
two physician group practices. Total cash paid for these acquisitions
approximated $20 million. The acquisitions will be accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 1996
The Company reported net patient service revenue of $30.6 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $17.8 million for the
same period in 1996, a growth rate of 71.8%. Of this $12.8 million increase,
$12.4 million, or 96.9% was attributable to new units, including units at which
the Company provides services as a result of acquisitions. Same unit patient
service revenue, exclusive of administrative fees, increased $574,000, or 4.3%,
for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Same units are those units at which
the Company provided services for the entire period for which the percentage is
calculated and the entire comparable period. The same unit growth resulted from
volume increases as there were no general price increases.
Salaries and benefits increased $8.2 million, or 71.3% to $19.8 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $11.6 million for the
same period in 1996. Of this $8.2 million increase, $6.2 million, or 75.3%, was
attributable to hiring new physicians, primarily to support new unit growth, and
the remaining $2.0 million was primarily attributable to increased support staff
and resources added in the areas of nursing, executive management and billing
and reimbursement. Supplies and other operating expenses increased $1.1 million,
or 85.8% to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared
with $1.3 million for the same period in 1996, primarily as a result of new
units. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $673,000, or 200.9% to
$1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $335,000
for the same period in 1996, primarily as a result of amortization of goodwill
in connection with acquisitions.
Income from operations increased approximately $2.8 million, or 60.0%,
to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $4.7
million for the same period in 1996. The increase in income from operations was
primarily due to increased volume, principally from acquisitions.
The Company earned investment income of approximately $563,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $423,000 for the same period
in 1996. The increase in investment income resulted primarily from additional
funds available for investment due to proceeds from the secondary public
offering completed in the third quarter of 1996 as well as cash flow from
operations.
The effective income tax rate was approximately 40% for the three month
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.
Net income increased 57.1% to $4.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997, as compared with $3.0 million for the same period in 1996. Net
income as a percentage of net patient service revenue decreased to 15.6% for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to 17.0% for the same period in 1996,
primarily as a result of amortization of goodwill in connection with
acquisitions.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AS COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1996
The Company reported net patient service revenue of $57.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $33.9 million for the same
period in 1996, a growth rate of 69.8%. This $23.7 million increase was
primarily attributable to new units. Same unit patient service revenue,
exclusive of administrative fees, increased $262,000, or 1.1%, for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. Same units are those units at which the Company
provided services for the entire period for which the percentage is calculated
and the entire comparable period.

<PAGE> 10
Salaries and benefits increased $15.1 million, or 67.4% to $37.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $22.3 million
for the same period in 1996. Of this $15.1 million increase, $11.3 million, or
74.8%, was attributable to hiring new physicians, primarily to support new unit
growth, and the remaining $3.8 million was primarily attributable to increased
support staff and resources added in the areas of nursing, executive management
and billing and reimbursement. Supplies and other operating expenses increased
$2.0 million, or 79.7% to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
as compared with $2.5 million for the same period in 1996, primarily as a result
of new units. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.2 million,
or 215.3% to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared
with $568,000 for the same period in 1996, primarily as a result of amortization
of goodwill in connection with acquisitions.
Income from operations increased approximately $5.5 million, or 63.5%,
to $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $8.5
million for the same period in 1996. The increase in income from operations was
primarily due to increased volume, principally from acquisitions.
The Company earned investment income of approximately $1.3 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $922,000 for the same
period in 1996. The increase in investment income resulted primarily from
additional funds available for investment due to proceeds from the secondary
public offering completed in the third quarter of 1996 as well as cash flow
from operations.
The effective income tax rate was approximately 40% for the six month
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.
Net income increased 60.7% to $9.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, as compared with $5.6 million for the same period in 1996. Net
income as a percentage of net patient service revenue decreased to 15.8% for the
six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to 16.6% for the same period in 1996,
primarily as a result of amortization of goodwill in connection with
acquisitions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of approximately
$67.0 million, a decrease of $14.2 million from the working capital of $81.2
million available at December 31, 1996. The decrease is principally a result of
funds utilized for acquisitions during the first six months of 1997, offset by
cash generated from operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, capital expenditures
amounted to approximately $1.1 million principally for computer hardware and
software and furniture and fixtures. For the remainder of 1997, the Company
anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $1.0 million, principally for
computer hardware and software.
The Company anticipates that funds generated from operations together
with cash and marketable securities on hand and funds available under its credit
facility, will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements and
finance any required capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

from the class of all regular employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries,
including Employee Directors and Officers who are regular employees of the
Company and (ii) Non-Employee Directors. Any person who files with the
Committee, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, a written waiver of
eligibility to receive any Option under this Plan shall not be eligible to
receive any Option under this Plan for the duration of such waiver.
(b) In granting Options, the Committee or the Board shall take into
consideration the contribution the person has made to the success of the Company
or its Subsidiaries and such other factors as the Committee or the Board shall
determine. The
3
<PAGE> 4
Committee or the Board shall also have the authority to consult with and receive
recommendations from officers and other personnel of the Company and its
Subsidiaries with regard to these matters. The Committee or the Board may from
time to time in granting Options under the Plan prescribe such other terms and
conditions concerning such Options as it deems appropriate, including, without
limitation, (i) prescribing the date or dates on which the Option becomes
exercisable, (ii) providing that the Option rights accrue or become exercisable
in installments over a period of years, or upon the attainment of stated goals
or both, or (iii) relating an Option to the continued employment of the Optionee
for a specified period of time, provided that such terms and conditions are not
more favorable to an Optionee than those expressly permitted herein.
(c) The Options granted to employees under this Plan shall be in
addition to regular salaries, pension, life insurance or other benefits related
to their employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Plan nor
any Option granted under the Plan shall confer upon any person any right to
employment or continuance of employment by the Company or its Subsidiaries.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, an Incentive
Stock Option shall not be granted to any person owning directly or indirectly
(through attribution under Section 424(d) of the Code) at the date of grant,
stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company (or of its parent or subsidiary corporation [as defined
in Section 424 of the Code] at the date of grant) unless the option price of
such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to
such Option on the date the Option is granted, and such Option by its terms is
not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such Option is
granted.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, and in
addition to any other requirements of this Plan, the aggregate number of Options
granted to any one Director, Officer or employee may not exceed 40% of the total
number of Options available for grant under the Plan.
7. OPTION PRICE. The option price per Share of any Option shall be any
price determined by the Committee or the Board but shall not be less than the
par value per Share; provided, however, that in no event shall the option price
per Share of any Incentive Stock Option or any Option granted pursuant to
paragraph (a) of Section 15 of this Plan be less than the Fair Market Value of
the Shares underlying such Option on the date such Option is granted.
8. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. An Option shall be deemed exercised when (i)
the Company has received written notice of such exercise in accordance with the
terms of the Option, (ii) full payment of the aggregate option price of the
Shares as to which the Option is exercised has been made, and (iii) arrangements
that are satisfactory to the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion have
been made for the Optionee's payment to the Company of the amount that is
necessary for the Company or Subsidiary employing the Optionee to withhold in
accordance with applicable Federal or state tax withholding requirements. Unless
further limited by the Committee or the Board in any Option and subject to such
guidelines as the Committee or the Board may
4
<PAGE> 5
establish, the option price of any Shares purchased shall be paid in cash, by
certified or official bank check, by money order, with Shares by the withholding
of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or by any other form of cashless
exercise procedure approved by the Committee or the Board, or in such other
consideration as the Committee or the Board deems appropriate, or by a
combination of the above. The Committee or the Board in its sole discretion may
accept a personal check in full or partial payment of any Shares. If the
exercise price is paid in whole or in part with Shares, or through the
withholding of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option, the value of the
Shares surrendered shall be their Fair Market Value on the date the Option is
exercised. The Company in its sole discretion may, on an individual basis or
pursuant to a general program established in connection with this Plan, lend
money to an Optionee, guarantee a loan to an Optionee, or otherwise assist an
Optionee to obtain the cash necessary to exercise all or a portion of an Option
granted hereunder or to pay any tax liability of the Optionee attributable to
such exercise. If the exercise price is paid in whole or part with Optionee's
promissory note, such note shall (i) provide for full recourse to the maker,
(ii) be collateralized by the pledge of the Shares that the Optionee purchases
upon exercise of such Option, (iii) bear interest at the prime rate of the
Company's principal lender, and (iv) contain such other terms as the Board in
its sole discretion shall reasonably require. No Optionee shall be deemed to be
a holder of any Shares subject to an Option unless and until a stock certificate
or certificates for such Shares are issued to such person(s) under the terms of
this Plan. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary,
whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights
for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued,
except as expressly provided in Section 10 hereof.
9. EXERCISABILITY OF OPTIONS. Any Option shall become exercisable in
such amounts, at such intervals and upon such terms as the Committee or the
Board shall provide in such Option, except as otherwise provided in this Section
9.
(a) The expiration date of an Option shall be determined by the
Committee or the Board at the time of grant, but in no event shall an Option be
exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date of grant of the
Option.
(b) Unless otherwise provided in any Option, each outstanding Option
shall become immediately fully exercisable in the event of a "Change in Control"
or in the event that the Committee or the Board exercises its discretion to
provide a cancellation notice with respect to the Option pursuant to Section
10(b) hereof. For this purpose, the term "Change in Control" shall mean the
approval by the shareholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger,
consolidation or other form of corporate transaction or series of transactions,
in each case, with respect to which persons who were the shareholders of the
Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation or
other transaction do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50% of the
combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of
the reorganized, merged or consolidated company's then outstanding voting
securities, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company (unless such reorganization,
merger, consolidation or other corporate transaction, liquidation, dissolution
or sale is subsequently abandoned).
5
<PAGE> 6
(c) The Committee or the Board may in its sole discretion accelerate
the date on which any Option may be exercised and may accelerate the vesting of
any Shares subject to any Option.
10. TERMINATION OF OPTION PERIOD.
(a) The unexercised portion of any Option, other than an Option
granted pursuant to Section 15 hereof, shall automatically and without notice
terminate and become null and void at the time of the earliest to occur of the
following:
(i) three months after the date on which the Optionee's
employment is terminated for any reason other than by reason of (A) Cause,
which, solely for purposes of this Plan, shall mean the termination of the
Optionee's employment by reason of the Optionee's willful misconduct or gross
negligence, (B) a mental or physical disability (within the meaning of Code
Section 22(e)) as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee
or the Board, or (C) death;
(ii) immediately upon the termination of the Optionee's
employment for Cause;
(iii) one year after the date on which the Optionee's
employment is terminated by reason of a mental or physical disability (within
the meaning of Code Section 22(e)) as determined by a medical doctor
satisfactory to the Committee or the Board; or
(iv) (A) twelve months after the date of termination of the
Optionee's employment by reason of death of the Optionee, or (B) three months
after the date on which the Optionee shall die if such death shall occur during
the one year period specified in Subsection 10(a)(iii) hereof.
All references herein to the termination of the Optionee's employment shall, in
the case of an Optionee who is not an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary,
refer to the termination of the Optionee's service with the Company.
(b) The Committee in its sole discretion may by giving written
notice ("cancellation notice") cancel, effective upon the date of the
consummation of any corporate transaction described in Section 9(b) hereof or of
any reorganization, merger, consolidation or other form of corporate transaction
in which the Company does not survive, any Option that remains unexercised on
such date. Such cancellation notice shall be given a reasonable period of time
prior to the proposed date of such cancellation and may be given either before
or after approval of such corporate transaction.
11. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.
(a) If at any time while the Plan is in effect or unexercised
Options are outstanding, there shall be any increase or decrease in the number
of issued and outstanding
6
<PAGE> 7
Shares through the declaration of a stock dividend or through any
recapitalization resulting in a stock split-up, combination or exchange of
Shares, then and in such event:
(i) appropriate adjustment shall be made in the maximum
number of Shares available for grant under the Plan, or available for grant to
any person under the Plan, so that the same percentage of the Company's issued
and outstanding Shares shall continue to be subject to being so optioned; and
(ii) appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of
Shares and the exercise price per Share thereof then subject to any outstanding
Option, so that the same percentage of the Company's issued and outstanding
Shares shall remain subject to purchase at the same aggregate exercise price.
(b) Subject to the specific terms of any Option, the Committee or
the Board may change the terms of Options outstanding under this Plan, with
respect to the option price or the number of Shares subject to the Options, or
both, when, in the Committee's or the Board's sole discretion, such adjustments
become appropriate so as to preserve but not increase benefits under the Plan.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by
the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with
direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or
upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such
shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason
thereof shall be made with respect to the number of or exercise price of Shares
then subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan.
(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the existence
of outstanding Options granted under the Plan shall not affect in any manner the
right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all
adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the
Company's capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of
the Company; (iii) any issue by the Company of debt securities, or preferred or
preference stock that would rank above the Shares subject to outstanding
Options; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale,
transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the
Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar
character or otherwise.
12. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS AND SHARES.
(a) No Incentive Stock Option, and unless the prior written consent
of the Committee or the Board is obtained and the transaction does not violate
the requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act no
Non-Qualified Stock Option, shall be subject to alienation, assignment, pledge,
charge or other transfer other than by the Optionee by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and any attempt to make any such prohibited transfer
shall be void. Each Option shall be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime
only by the
7
<PAGE> 8
Optionee, or in the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option that has been assigned
or transferred with the prior written consent of the Committee or the Board,
only by the permitted assignee.
(b) Unless the prior written consent of the Committee or the Board
is obtained and the transaction does not violate the requirements of Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act, no Shares acquired by an Officer
or Director pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be sold, assigned, pledged
or otherwise transferred prior to the expiration of the six-month period
following the date on which the Option was granted.
13. ISSUANCE OF SHARES.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Company
shall not be obligated to issue any Shares unless it is advised by counsel of
its selection that it may do so without violation of the applicable Federal and
State laws pertaining to the issuance of securities, and may require any stock
so issued to bear a legend, may give its transfer agent instructions, and may
take such other steps, as in its judgment are reasonably required to prevent any
such violation.
(b) As a condition of any sale or issuance of Shares upon exercise
of any Option, the Committee or the Board may require such agreements or
undertakings, if any, as the Committee or the Board may deem necessary or
advisable to facilitate compliance with any such law or regulation including,
but not limited to, the following:
(i) a representation and warranty by the Optionee to the
Company, at the time any Option is exercised, that he is acquiring the Shares to
be issued to him for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in
connection with, the distribution of any such Shares; and
(ii) a representation, warranty and/or agreement to be
bound by any legends endorsed upon the certificate(s) for such Shares that are,
in the opinion of the Committee or the Board, necessary or appropriate to
facilitate compliance with the provisions of any securities law deemed by the
Committee or the Board to be applicable to the issuance and transfer of such
Shares.
14. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.
(a) The Plan shall be administered by a committee appointed by the
Board (the "Committee") which shall be composed of two or more Directors all of
whom shall be Outside Directors. The membership of the Committee shall be
constituted so as to comply at all times with the applicable requirements of
Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act and Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the
Board and shall have the powers designated herein and such other powers as the
Board may from time to time confer upon it.
(b) The Board may grant Options pursuant to any persons to whom
Options may be granted under Section 5(a) hereof.
8
<PAGE> 9
(c) The Committee or the Board, from time to time, may adopt
rules and regulations for carrying out the purposes of the Plan. The
determinations by the Committee or the Board and the interpretation and
construction of any provision of the Plan or any Option by the Committee or the
Board, shall be final and conclusive.
(d) Any and all decisions or determinations of the Committee shall
be made either (i) by a majority vote of the members of the Committee at a
meeting or (ii) without a meeting by the unanimous written approval of the
members of the Committee.
15. GRANTS TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS.
(a) Each Non-Employee Director that is not affiliated with any
beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock will receive on
the date of his or her appointment as a Director, an Option to purchase 5,000
shares of Common Stock, which Option will become fully exercisable on the first
anniversary of its grant. The per share exercise price of all Options granted to
Non-Employee Directors pursuant to this Section 15(a) will be equal to the Fair
Market Value of the Shares underlying such Option on the date such Option is
granted. The unexercised portion of any Option granted pursuant to this Section
15(a) shall become null and void three months after the date on which such
Non-Employee Director ceases to be a Director for any reason.
(b) In addition to Options granted to Non-Employee Directors
pursuant to Section 15(a), the Board may grant Options to Non-Employee Directors
pursuant to Section 6, subject to the provisions of the Plan generally
applicable to Options granted pursuant to Section 6.
16. WITHHOLDING OR DEDUCTION FOR TAXES. If at any time specified herein
for the making of any issuance or delivery of any Option or Common Stock to any
Optionee or beneficiary, any law or regulation of any governmental authority
having jurisdiction in the premises shall require the Company to withhold, or to
make any deduction for, any taxes or take any other action in connection with
the issuance or delivery then to be made, such issuance or delivery shall be
deferred until such withholding or deduction shall have been provided for by the
Optionee or beneficiary, or other appropriate action shall have been taken.
17. INTERPRETATION.
(a) As it is the intent of the Company that the Plan comply in all
respects with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act ("Rule
16b-3"), any ambiguities or inconsistencies in construction of the Plan shall be
interpreted to give effect to such intention, and if any provision of the Plan
is found not to be in compliance with Rule 16b-3, such provision shall be deemed
null and void to the extent required to permit the Plan to comply with Rule
16b-3. The Committee or the Board may from time to time adopt rules and
regulations under, and amend, the Plan in furtherance of the intent of the
foregoing.
(b) The Plan shall be administered and interpreted so that all
Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan will qualify as Incentive Stock
Options under section 422 of the
9
<PAGE> 10
Internal Revenue Code. If any provision of the Plan should be held invalid for
the granting of Incentive Stock Options or illegal for any reason, such
determination shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, but instead the
Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had never been
included in the Plan.
(c) This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
(d) Headings contained in this Plan are for convenience only and
shall in no manner be construed as part of this Plan.
(e) Any reference to the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall
be a reference to such other gender as is appropriate.
18. AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUATION OF THE PLAN. The Committee or the
Board may from time to time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any Option;
provided, however, that, any amendment to the Plan shall be subject to the
approval of the Company's shareholders if such shareholder approval is required
by any federal or state law or regulation (including, without limitation, Rule
16b-3 or to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) or the
rules of any Stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common
Stock may then be listed or granted. Except to the extent provided in Sections 9
and 10 hereof, no amendment suspension or termination of the Plan or any Option
issued hereunder shall substantially impair the rights or benefits of any
Optionee pursuant to any Option previously granted without the consent of the
Optionee.
19. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION DATE. The Plan shall be effective
upon the Effective Date and shall terminate on the 10th anniversary of the
Effective Date.
