FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Borrower unconditionally (and jointly and
severally, if more than one) promises to pay to the order of Bank, its
successors and assigns, without setoff, at its offices indicated at the
beginning of this Note, or at such other place as may be designated by Bank,
the principal amount of Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000.00), or so much
thereof as may be advanced from time to time in immediately available funds,
together with interest computed daily on the outstanding principal balance
hereunder, at an annual interest rate, and in accordance with the payment
schedule, indicated below.

1.    RATE. The Rate shall be the "LIBOR Rate" for each Interest Period (as
defined herein), plus the Applicable Margin, per annum ("Applicable Margin" is
defined in the Loan Agreement executed on even date herewith).
      A. For the purposes of this Note and Loan, the "LIBOR Rate" for each
Interest Period shall mean the offered rate for deposits in United States
dollars in the London Interbank market for a one month period which appears on
the Telerate Screen Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the date that
is two London Banking days (as defined herein) preceding the first Banking
Business Day (as defined herein of the Interest Period. If at least two such
offered rates appear on the Telerate Screen Page 3750, the rate will be the
arithmetic mean of such offered rates. The Lender may, in its discretion, use
any other publicly available index or reference rate showing rates offered for
United States dollar deposits in the London Interbank market as of the
applicable date. In addition, the Lender may, in its discretion, use rate
quotations for daily or annual period in lieu of quotations for substantially
equivalent monthly periods.
      B. "Business Banking Day" shall mean each day other than a Saturday, a
Sunday or any holiday on which commercial banks in Jacksonville, Florida are
closed for business.
      C. "Interest Period" shall mean each period commencing on each Interest
Rate Adjustment Date and ending on the next Interest Rate Adjustment Date.
      D. "Interest Rate Adjustment Date" shall mean the 5th day of August, 1999
and the 5th day of each month thereafter.
      E. "London Banking Day" shall mean each day other than a Saturday, a
Sunday or any holiday on which commercial banks in London, England are closed
for business.

      Notwithstanding any provision of this Note, Bank does not intend to
charge and Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount of interest or
other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by the applicable law of the
State of Florida; if any higher rate ceiling is lawful, then that higher rate
ceiling shall apply. Any payment in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to
Borrower or credited against principal, at the option of Bank.

2.    ACCRUAL METHOD. Unless otherwise indicated, interest at the Rate set forth
above will be calculated by the 365/360 day method (a daily amount of interest
is computed for a hypothetical year of 360 days; that amount is multiplied by
the actual number of days for which any principal is outstanding hereunder).

NationsBank                                                      Promissory Note
Florida [Commercial]                       1                                2/96

   2

NationsBank, N.A.

3.    RATE CHANGE DATE. Any Rate based on a fluctuating index or base rate will
change, unless otherwise provided, each time and as of the date that the index
or base rate changes. In the event any index is discontinued, Bank shall
substitute an index determined by Bank to be comparable, in its sole
discretion.

4.    PAYMENT SCHEDULE. Principal shall be paid in full in a single payment on
July 5, 2001. Interest thereon shall be paid monthly, commencing on August 5,
1999, and continuing on the 5th day of each successive month thereafter, with a
final payment of all unpaid interest at the stated maturity of this Note.

      All payments received hereunder shall be applied first to the payment of
any expense or charges payable hereunder or under any other loan documents
executed in connection with this Note, then to interest due and payable, with
the balance applied to principal, or in such other order as Bank shall
determine at its option.

5.    REVOLVING FEATURE. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder at
any time, up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any one time equal to
the principal amount of this Note, provided that Borrower is not in default
under any provision of this Note, any other documents executed in connection
with this Note, or any other note or other loan documents now or hereafter
executed in connection with any other obligation of Borrower to Bank, and
provided that the borrowings hereunder do not exceed any borrowing base or
other limitation on borrowings by Borrower. Bank shall incur no liability for
its refusal to advance funds based upon its determination that any conditions
of such further advances have not been met. Bank records of the amounts
borrowed from time to time shall be conclusive proof thereof.

6.    AUTOMATIC PAYMENT. [X] Borrower has elected to authorize Bank to effect
payment of sums due under this Note by means of debiting Borrower's account
number ______________________________________________. This authorization shall
not affect the obligation of Borrower to pay such sums when due, without
notice, if there are insufficient funds in such account to make such payment in
full on the due date thereof, or if Bank fails to debit the account. If the
above box is not hand-checked, this paragraph 6 shall not apply.

7.    WAIVERS, CONSENTS AND COVENANTS. Borrower, any indorser or guarantor
hereof, or any other party hereto (individually an "Obligor" and collectively
"Obligors") and each of them jointly and severally: (a) waive presentment,
demand, protest, notice of demand, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of
acceleration of maturity, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of
dishonor, and any other notice required to be given under the law to any
Obligor in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or
enforcement of this Note, any indorsement or guaranty of this Note, or any
other documents executed in connection with this Note or any other note or
other loan documents now or hereafter executed in connection with any
obligation of Borrower to Bank (the "Loan Documents"); (b) consent to all
delays, extensions, renewals or other modifications of this Note or the Loan
Documents, or waivers of any term hereof or of the Loan Documents, or release
or discharge by Bank of any of Obligors, or release, substitution or exchange
of any security for the payment hereof, or the failure to act on the part of
Bank, or any indulgence shown by Bank (without notice to or further assent from
any of Obligors), and agree that no such action, failure to act or failure to
exercise any right or remedy by Bank shall in any way affect or impair the
obligations of any Obligors or be construed as a waiver by Bank of, or
otherwise affect, any of Bank's rights under this Note, under any indorsement
or guaranty of this Note or under any of the Loan Documents; and (c) agree to
pay, on demand, all costs and expenses of collection or defense of this Note or
of any indorsement or guaranty hereof and/or the enforcement or defense of
Bank's rights with respect to, or the administration, supervision,
preservation, or protection of, or realization upon, any property securing
payment hereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's and
paralegal's fees, including fees related to any suit, mediation or arbitration
proceeding, out of court payment agreement, trial, appeal, bankruptcy
proceedings or other proceeding, in such amount as may be determined reasonable
by any arbitrator or court, whichever is applicable.

8.    INDEMNIFICATION. Obligors agree to promptly pay, indemnify and hold Bank
harmless from all State and Federal taxes of any kind and other liabilities
with respect to or resulting from the execution and/or delivery of this Note or
any advances made pursuant to this Note. If this Note has a revolving feature
and is secured by a mortgage, Obligors expressly consent to the deduction of
any applicable taxes from each taxable advance extended by Bank.

9.    PREPAYMENTS. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, prepayments may
be made in whole or in part at any time on this loan. All prepayments of
principal shall be applied in the inverse order of maturity, or in such other
order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion.

10.   DELINQUENCY CHARGE. To the extent permitted by law, a delinquency charge
may be imposed in an amount not to exceed four percent (4%) of any payment that
is more than fifteen days late.

11.   EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following are events of default hereunder: (a) the
failure to pay or perform any obligation, liability or indebtedness of any
Obligor to Bank, or to any affiliate or subsidiary of NationsBank Corporation,
whether under this Note or any Loan Documents, as and when due (whether upon
demand, at maturity or by acceleration); (b) the failure to pay or perform any
other obligation, liability or indebtedness of any Obligor to any other party;
(c) the death of any Obligor (if an individual); (d) the resignation or
withdrawal of any partner or a material owner/guarantor of Borrower, as
determined by Bank in its sole discretion; (e) the commencement of a proceeding
against any Obligor for dissolution or liquidation, the voluntary or
involuntary termination or dissolution of any Obligor or the merger or
consolidation of any Obligor with or into another entity; (f) the insolvency
of, the business failure of, the appointment of a custodian, trustee,
liquidator or receiver for or for any of the property of, the assignment for
the benefit of creditors by, or the filing of a petition under bankruptcy,
insolvency or debtor's relief law or the filing of a petition for any
adjustment of indebtedness, composition or extension by or against any Obligor;
(g) any representation or warranty made to Bank by any Obligor in any Loan
Documents or otherwise

Florida [Commercial]                       2                                2/96

NationsBank, N.A.

is or was, when it was made, untrue or materially misleading; (h) the failure
of any Obligor to timely deliver such financial statements, including tax
returns, other statements of condition or other information, as Bank shall
request from time to time; (i) the entry of a judgment against any Obligor
which is of a material nature not satisfied or transferred to bond within
thirty (30) days; (j) the seizure or forfeiture of, or the issuance of any writ
of possession, garnishment or attachment, or any turnover order for any
property of any Obligor; (k) a material adverse change has occurred in the
financial condition of any Obligor; or (l) the failure of Borrower's business
to comply with any law or regulation controlling its operation. Consistent with
the Loan Agreement (but not in addition to any cure periods provided therein),
Borrower shall have a period of ten (10) days to cure any default based on
Borrower's failure to pay any monetary obligation due to Bank and thirty (30)
days from the date of written notice from Bank to Borrower to cure any other
default by Borrower before Bank may pursue its remedies.

12.   REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Whenever there is a default under this Note that
has not been timely cured (a) the entire balance outstanding hereunder and all
other obligations of any Obligor to Bank (however acquired or evidenced) shall,
at the option of Bank, become immediately due and payable and any obligation of
Bank to permit further borrowing under this Note shall immediately cease and
terminate, and/or (b) to the extent permitted by law, the Rate of interest on
the unpaid principal shall be increased at Bank's discretion up to the maximum
rate allowed by law, or if none, 18% per annum (the "Default Rate"). The
provisions herein for a Default Rate shall not be deemed to extend the time for
any payment hereunder or to constitute a "grace period" giving Obligors a right
to cure any default. At Bank's option, any accrued and unpaid interest, fees or
charges may, for purposes of computing and accruing interest on a daily basis
after the due date of the Note or any installment thereof, be deemed to be a
part of the principal balance, and interest shall accrue on a daily compounded
basis after such date at the Default Rate provided in this Note until the
entire outstanding balance of principal and interest is paid in full. Upon a
default under this Note, Bank is hereby authorized at any time, at its option
and without notice or demand, to set off and charge against any deposit
accounts of any Obligor (as well as any money, instruments, securities,
documents, chattel paper, credits, claims, demands, income and any other
property, rights and interests of any Obligor), which at any time shall come
into the possession or custody or under the control of Bank or any of its
agents, affiliates or correspondents, any and all obligations due hereunder.
Additionally, Bank shall have all rights and remedies available under each of
the Loan Documents, as well as all rights and remedies available at law or in
equity. Any judgment rendered on this Note shall bear interest at the highest
rate of interest permitted pursuant to Chapter 687, Florida Statutes.

13.   NON-WAIVER. The failure at any time of Bank to exercise any of its options
or any other rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall
it be a bar to the exercise of any of its options or rights at a later date.
All rights and remedies of Bank shall be cumulative and may be pursued singly,
successively or together, at the option of Bank. The acceptance by Bank of any
partial payment shall not constitute a waiver of any default or of any of
Bank's rights under this Note. No waiver of any of its rights hereunder, and no
modification or amendment of this Note, shall be deemed to be made by Bank
unless the same shall be in writing, duly signed on behalf of Bank; each such
waiver shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved, and
shall in no way impair the rights of Bank or the obligations of Obligors to
Bank in any other respect at any other time.

14.   APPLICABLE LAW, VENUE AND JURISDICTION. This Note and the rights and
obligations of Borrower and Bank shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the law of the State of Florida. In any litigation in
connection with or to enforce this Note or any indorsement or guaranty of this
Note or any Loan Documents, Obligors, and each of them, irrevocably consent to
and confer personal jurisdiction on the courts of the State of Florida or the
United States located within the State of Florida and expressly waive any
objections as to venue in any such courts. Nothing contained herein shall,
however, prevent Bank from bringing any action or exercising any rights within
any other state or jurisdiction or from obtaining personal jurisdiction by any
other means available under applicable law. The interest rate charged on this
Note is authorized by Chapter 655, Florida Statutes and Section 687.12, Florida
Statutes.

15.   PARTIAL INVALIDITY. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of
this Note shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other
provision herein and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of
this Note or of the Loan Documents to any person or circumstance shall not
affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to
other persons or circumstances.

16.   BINDING EFFECT. This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of Borrower, Obligors and Bank and their respective successors, assigns, heirs
and personal representatives, provided, however, that no obligations of
Borrower or Obligors hereunder can be assigned without prior written consent of
Bank.

17.   CONTROLLING DOCUMENT. To the extent that this Note conflicts with or is in
 any way incompatible with any other document related specifically to
the loan evidenced by this Note, this Note shall control over any other such
document, and if this Note does not address an issue, then each other such
document shall control to the extent that it deals most specifically with an
issue.

18.   YEAR 2000 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

      (A) Borrower has (i) begun analyzing the operations of Borrower and its
subsidiaries and affiliates that could be adversely affected by failure to
become Year 2000 compliant (that is, that computer applications, imbedded
microchips and other systems will be able to perform date-sensitive functions
prior to and after December 31, 1999) and; (ii) developed a plan for becoming
Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner, the implementation of which is on
schedule in all material respects. Borrower reasonably believes that it will
become Year 2000 compliant for its operations and those of its subsidiaries and
affiliates on a timely basis except to the extent that a failure to do so could
not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the financial
condition of Borrower.

      (B) Borrower reasonably believes any suppliers and vendors that are
material to the operations of Borrower to its subsidiaries and affiliates will
be Year 2000 compliant for their own computer applications except to the extent
that a failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect upon the financial condition of Borrower.

      (C) Borrower will promptly notify Bank in the event Borrower determines
that any computer application which is material to the operations of Borrower,
its subsidiaries or any of its material vendors or suppliers will not be fully
Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis,
