     a)   TRANSACTIONAL  REPRESENTATIONS.  SUBSCRIBER represents and warrants to
          ISSUER as follows:

          (i)  SUBSCRIBER   is  purchasing   the  Shares  and  Purchase   Option

               total loss of its investment;

          (iv) SUBSCRIBER  understands  that the Shares and Purchase Option (and
               underlying  Common  Stock)  are being  offered  and sold to it in
               reliance   on   specific   exemptions   from   the   registration
               requirements  of federal and state  securities  laws and that the
               ISSUER  is   relying   upon  the  truth  and   accuracy   of  the

               suitability of SUBSCRIBER to acquire the securities;

          (v)  SUBSCRIBER is sufficiently  experienced in financial and business
               matters to be capable of  evaluating  the merits and risks of its
               investment,  and to make an informed  decision  relating thereto;
               and

          (vi) In evaluating  its  investment,  SUBSCRIBER has consulted its own
               investment and/or legal and/or tax advisors.

          been duly executed and  delivered by ISSUER.  Subject to the terms and
          conditions of this Subscription Agreement and the Purchase Option, the
          Subscription  Agreement  constitutes,  and when executed, the Purchase
          Option will constitute,  the valid, binding and enforceable obligation
          of  ISSUER,  enforceable  in  accordance  with its  terms,  except  as
          enforceability   may  be   limited  by  (i)   applicable   bankruptcy,
          insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or similar
          laws of general  application now or hereafter in effect  affecting the
          rights and remedies of creditors  and by general  principles of equity
          (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or
          in  equity);  and (ii) the  applicability  of the  federal  and  state

          Purchase Option. The sale by the ISSUER of the Shares and the issuance
          of the  Purchase  Option does not  conflict  with the  certificate  of
          incorporation  or by-laws of the ISSUER,  or any material  contract by
          which the ISSUER or its  property  is bound,  or any  federal or state

          shares of Common Stock and 114,019  shares of  preferred  stock issued
          and outstanding.

          pursuant  to this  Subscription  Agreement  and upon  exercise  of the
          Purchase Option in accordance with its terms will be duly  authorized,
          validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     d)   RULE 144  REQUIREMENTS.  ISSUER agrees to use commercially  reasonable
          efforts:

               and

          (iii)to furnish to  SUBSCRIBER  upon  request a written  statement  by

               copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of ISSUER, and
               such other  reports and  documents  of ISSUER as  SUBSCRIBER  may
               reasonably  request  to  avail  itself  of any  similar  rule  or
               regulation  of the SEC  allowing  it to sell any such  securities
               without registration.

     e)   SEC DOCUMENTS. ISSUER's Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section
          12(g) of the  Exchange  Act.  Since  January 1,  1999,  the ISSUER has
          timely filed with the SEC all reports,  schedules,  forms,  statements
          and other  documents  required to be filed (such  reports,  schedules,
          forms,  statements and other documents are hereinafter  referred to as
          the "SEC Documents").  As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents
          complied  in  all  material  respects  with  the  requirements  of the
          Securities  Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules
          and regulations of the SEC promulgated  thereunder  applicable to such
          SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents

                                       3


          as of such dates contained any untrue  statement of a material fact or
          omitted  to state a material  fact  required  to be stated  therein or
          necessary  in order to make the  statements  therein,  in light of the
          circumstances  under  which  they  were  made,  not  misleading.   The
          financial  statements of the ISSUER included in the SEC Documents (the
          "Financial  Statements")  comply as to form in all  material  respects
          with applicable  accounting  requirements  and the published rules and
          regulations  of the SEC with respect  thereto,  have been  prepared in
          accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent  basis during the periods
          involved (except in the case of unaudited statements,  as permitted by
          Rule 10-01 of  Regulation  S-X) and fairly  present,  in all  material
          respects, the financial position of the ISSUER as of the dates thereof
          and the  results of  operations  and cash flows for the  periods  then
          ended  (on the  basis  stated  therein  and  subject,  in the  case of
          unaudited quarterly  statements,  to the absence of complete notes and
          to normal year-end audit adjustments). Since the date of the Financial
          Statements for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2000,  there has
          been no material  adverse  change in the  financial  condition  of the
          ISSUER. Since the date of the filing of the Form 10-Q on September 30,
          2000,  there have been no events relating to the business or financial
          condition  of the ISSUER that  requires the filing of a Report on Form
          8-K by the ISSUER.

     f)   GENERAL DOCUMENT  REPRESENTATION.  To the best of ISSUER's  knowledge,
          the written materials of the ISSUER previously delivered to SUBSCRIBER
          in connection with this Subscription  Agreement, at the time they were
          given to SUBSCRIBER, were true and accurate in all material respects.

4)   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE AT CLOSING; INDEMNIFICATION. Each party
     making the  representations  and  warranties  contained in Sections 2 and 3
     also represents and warrants that they shall be true and accurate as of the
     Closing Date. If either party has knowledge, prior to the Closing Date that
     any such  representations  and warranties  made by it shall not be true and
     accurate in any respect,  such party will give written  notice of such fact
     to the other party specifying which  representations and warranties are not
     true and accurate and the reasons therefor.

Each party to this Subscription Agreement agrees to fully indemnify,  defend and
hold harmless the other party, its officers,  directors,  employees,  agents and
attorneys from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,  liabilities and
expenses,  including reasonable  attorneys' fees and expenses,  which may result
from  a  breach  of  such  party's  representations,  warranties  and  covenants
contained herein.

5)   LEGEND.  SUBSCRIBER  understands that the ISSUER will instruct its transfer
     agent to place a stop  transfer  order  with  respect  to the  certificates
     representing the Shares and that such  certificates will bear the following
     legend, as well as a legend  describing the restriction  referred to in the
     last  sentence of Section  7(a)  hereof:  "The shares  represented  by this
     certificate  have been acquired for investment and have not been registered
     under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended  (the  "Securities  Act").
     Transfer of these  shares is  prohibited  except  pursuant to  registration
     under  the  Securities  Act or  pursuant  to an  available  exemption  from
     registration."

6)   CLOSING  DATE.  The date of  issuance  and sale of the Shares and  Purchase
     Option ("Closing Date") shall be on such date as may be mutually agreed to,
     but not later than March 15, 2001.

7)   REGISTRATION RIGHT.

     a)   REGISTRATION. The ISSUER shall file a registration statement under the
          Securities  Act  ("Registration  Statement")  with the  Securities and
          Exchange  Commission  registering the Shares and the shares underlying
          the Purchase  Option for re-offer  and re-sale.  The ISSUER  agrees to
          have the Registration  Statement declared effective by the last day of
          the sixth calendar month after the

                                       4


          Closing  Date  ("Anniversary").  Once the  Registration  Statement  is
          declared effective,  the ISSUER shall keep the Registration  Statement
          effective and current until all the securities  registered  thereunder
          are  sold  or may  be  sold  freely  in  any  90  day  period  without
          registration under an appropriate  exemption under the Securities Act.
          If the Registration  Statement has not been declared  effective by the
          Anniversary  or,  if  it  is  so  declared  effective  but  after  the
          Anniversary  becomes  subject  to a stop  order  or is  not  otherwise
          current  for  use  by  SUBSCRIBER,   then  during  such  periods,  the
          SUBSCRIBER  may demand on no more than an aggregate of three  separate
          occasions to have its Shares and shares of Common Stock underlying the
          Purchase Option registered on a registration  statement filed with the
          Securities and Exchange Commission or have such securities included on
          any other  applicable  registration  statement filed by ISSUER,  which
          "demand" and "piggyback"  registration  rights will be subject to such
          reasonable  terms as are  ordinarily  offered to investors  purchasing
          similar   securities  to  those  purchased  under  this   Subscription
          Agreement.  The  SUBSCRIBER  agrees  that it will  not sell any of the
          Shares or  shares  of Common  Stock  underlying  the  Purchase  Option
          pursuant  to the  Registration  Statement  prior  to the  Anniversary,
          without  the  written  consent of the  ISSUER,  which  consent  may be
          withheld for any reason without explanation.

     b)   TERMS. The ISSUER shall bear all of its fees and expenses attendant to
          registering  the  Shares,   but  SUBSCRIBER  shall  pay  any  and  all
          underwriting  commissions  and  the  expenses  of  any  legal  counsel
          selected  by  SUBSCRIBER  to  represent  it  in  connection  with  the
          registration or sale of the Shares. Promptly upon request, ISSUER will
          provide to SUBSCRIBER such number of copies of the prospectus  forming
          a part of the  Registration  Statement as are reasonably  requested by
          the SUBSCRIBER,  and all supplements to such  prospectus.  ISSUER will
          promptly notify SUBSCRIBER at any time that the Registration Statement
          or the prospectus may not be used either due to the change of material
          information  contained therein or the omission of material information
          therefrom  or upon the  receipt by the ISSUER of a cease and desist or
          stop order of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The ISSUER will
          use its  commercially  reasonably  efforts to amend or supplement  the
          Registration Statement to permit its continued use by the SUBSCRIBER.

                                       5


     c)   INDEMNIFICATION by the ISSUER. The ISSUER agrees to indemnify and hold
          harmless  SUBSCRIBER,  its directors and officers and each person,  if
          any, who controls  SUBSCRIBER within the meaning of the Securities Act
          and/or the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended  ("Exchange
          Act"), against any losses,  claims,  damages or liabilities,  joint or
          several, to which SUBSCRIBER or such person may become subject,  under
          the Securities Act, Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
          claims,  damages or liabilities (or actions in respect  thereof) arise
          out of or are based upon (i) any untrue  statement  or alleged  untrue
          statement  of a  material  fact  contained  (A) in any  prospectus  or
          registration  statement  for  the  Shares  or  (B)  in  any  blue  sky
          application or other document executed by the ISSUER  specifically for
          blue  sky  purposes  or  based  upon  any  other  written  information
          furnished  by the  ISSUER  or on its  behalf  to any  state  or  other
          jurisdiction  in order to qualify  any or all of the Shares  under the
          securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information
          being  hereinafter  called  a "Blue  Sky  Application"),  or (ii)  the
          omission or alleged  omission by the ISSUER to state in any prospectus
          or  registration   statement  for  the  Shares  or  in  any  Blue  Sky
          Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
          to make the statements  therein,  in light of the circumstances  under
          which they were made, not  misleading,  and will reimburse  SUBSCRIBER
          and each  such  person  for any  legal or  other  expenses  reasonably
          incurred by SUBSCRIBER or such person in connection with investigating
          or  defending  any such  loss,  claim,  damage,  liability  or action;
          provided, however, that the ISSUER will not be liable in any such case
          to the extent that any such loss,  claim,  damage or liability  arises
          out  of or is  based  upon  an  untrue  statement  or  alleged  untrue
          statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in
          conformity with information regarding SUBSCRIBER which is furnished in
          writing  to  the  ISSUER  by  SUBSCRIBER  or its  representatives  for
          inclusion  in any  registration  statement  for the Shares or any such
          Blue Sky Application ("Non-Indemnity Events").

     d)   INDEMNIFICATION BY THE SUBSCRIBER.  The SUBSCRIBER agrees to indemnify
          and hold harmless the ISSUER, each officer and director of the ISSUER,
          and each person, if any, who controls the ISSUER within the meaning of
          the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act against any losses, claims,
          damages or liabilities,  joint or several, to which the ISSUER or such
          person may become subject,  under the Securities Act,  Exchange Act or
          otherwise insofar as such losses,  claims,  damages or liabilities (or
          actions  in  respect  thereof)  arise  out of or are  based  upon  any
          Non-Indemnity  Event;  and will  reimburse the ISSUER and such persons
          for any legal or other expenses  reasonably  incurred by the ISSUER in
          connection  with  investigating  or  defending  any such loss,  claim,
          damage,  liability or action provided that such loss, claim, damage or
          liability  is found  ultimately  to arise out of or be based  upon any
          Non-Indemnity   Event;   provided  that  the  maximum  amount  of  the
          indemnification  payments by SUBSCRIBER  shall not exceed the net sale
          proceeds of any of the Shares or shares of Common Stock underlying the
          Purchase  Option sold by the SUBSCRIBER  pursuant to the  registration
          statement.

     e)   PROCEDURE.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified  party under this
          Section  7  of  notice  of  the  commencement  of  any  action,   such
          indemnified  party will,  if a claim in respect  thereof is to be made
          against any indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify in writing
          the indemnifying party of the commencement  thereof;  and the omission
          so to notify the  indemnifying  party will  relieve  the  indemnifying
          party from any  liability  under this  Section 7 as to the  particular
          item for which  indemnification  is then being sought (if such failure
          materially  prejudices the indemnifying party), but not from any other
          liability which it may have to any indemnified party. In case any such
          action is brought  against any indemnified  party,  and it notifies an
          indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party
          will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may
          wish, jointly with any other indemnifying  party,  similarly notified,
          to  assume  the  defense  thereof,  with  counsel  who shall be to the
          reasonable  satisfaction of such  indemnified  party, and after notice
          from the indemnifying  party to such indemnified party of its election
          so to assume the defense thereof,  the indemnifying  party will not be
          liable to such indemnified party under this

                                       6


          Section 7 for any legal or other  expenses  subsequently  incurred  by
          such  indemnified  party in connection  with the defense thereof other
          than reasonable costs of investigation.  Any such  indemnifying  party
          shall not be liable to any such  indemnified  party on  account of any
          settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such
          indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     f)   CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is
          unavailable to any indemnified party in respect to any losses, claims,
          damages,  liabilities  or  expenses  referred  to  therein,  then  the
          indemnifying  party, in lieu of indemnifying  such indemnified  party,
          will  contribute  to the amount  paid or  payable by such  indemnified
          party,  as a result of such losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities or
          expenses in such  proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
          fault of the  ISSUER on the one  hand,  and of the  SUBSCRIBER  on the
          other hand,  in  connection  with the  statements  or omissions  which
          resulted in such losses, claims,  damages,  liabilities or expenses as
          well as any other  relevant  equitable  considerations.  The  relative
          fault of the ISSUER on the one hand,  and the  SUBSCRIBER on the other
          hand,  will be  determined  with  reference  to,  among other  things,
          whether the untrue or alleged  untrue  statement of a material fact or
          the omission to state a material fact relates to information  supplied
          by  the  ISSUER,  and  its  relative  intent,  knowledge,   access  to
          information  and  opportunity  to correct or prevent such statement or
          omission.  The payment  obligations of SUBSCRIBER  hereunder  shall be
          limited to the net sale  proceeds of any of the shares of Common Stock
          sold by the SUBSCRIBER pursuant to the registration statement.

     g)   EQUITABLE CONSIDERATIONS.  The ISSUER and the SUBSCRIBER agree that it
          would  not be just and  equitable  if  contribution  pursuant  to this
          Section  7 were  determined  by pro rata  allocation  or by any  other
          method of  allocation  which does not take into account the  equitable
          considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.

     h)   ATTORNEYS' FEES. The amount payable by a party under this Section 7 as
          a result of the  losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities  or  expenses
          referred to above will be deemed to include any legal or other fees or
          expenses   reasonably  incurred  by  such  party  in  connection  with
          investigating  or defending  any action or claim  (including,  without
          limitation,   fees  and   disbursements  of  counsel  incurred  by  an
          indemnified party in any action or proceeding between the indemnifying
          party and indemnified  party or between the indemnified  party and any
          third party or otherwise).

     i)   DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSCRIBER.  SUBSCRIBER  shall furnish to
          the ISSUER a  completed  and  executed  questionnaire  provided by the
          ISSUER requesting  information  customarily sought of selling security
          holders.

8)   PREEMPTIVE RIGHT. So long as SUBSCRIBER and its affiliates beneficially own
     at least 30% of the Shares and the common  stock  underlying  the  Purchase
     Option sold to  SUBSCRIBER  under this  Subscription  Agreement,  if ISSUER
     elects to sell, for cash, New  Securities (as  hereinafter  defined) at any
     time  prior to the six year  anniversary  of the date of this  Subscription
     Agreement,  SUBSCRIBER  will have the right to purchase  from ISSUER on the
     same terms as the  proposed  sale,  up to that number of  securities  being
     offered as will maintain its then  percentage  ownership of ISSUER's Common
     Stock  calculated on a fully diluted basis,  but based solely on the Shares
     purchased  hereunder and underlying  the Purchase  Option and not including
     any  additional  shares of Common  Stock which may be owned by  SUBSCRIBER.
     ISSUER shall give notice to the SUBSCRIBER in writing ("ISSUER  Notice") at
     least ten business days prior to the proposed closing date of such proposed
     sale.  The ISSUER Notice shall  describe in reasonable  detail the proposed
     sale including,  without limitation, the nature and number of securities to
     be sold,  the nature of such sale,  the  consideration  to be paid, and the
     name and address of the prospective  purchasers ("Buyer").  Upon the giving
     of the  ISSUER  Notice,  SUBSCRIBER  shall  have  the  right,  but  not the
     obligation,  exercisable  by  written  notice  to the  ISSUER  within  five
     business

                                       7


     days after receipt of the ISSUER  Notice,  to indicate to ISSUER its desire
     to purchase its permitted  number of securities  being sold in the proposed
     sale on the same terms and  conditions as ISSUER is selling the  securities
     in the proposed  sale.  The  SUBSCRIBER  will purchase the securities to be
     offered and purchased under this section at the same time as the closing of
     the proposed sale. For purposes of this Section 8, "New  Securities"  means
     any shares of  capital  stock of the  ISSUER,  including  Common  Stock and
     preferred  stock,  whether now  authorized  or not, and rights,  options or
     warrants to purchase said shares of Common Stock or preferred  stock of the
     ISSUER,  and  securities  of any type  whatsoever  that are, or may become,
     convertible into said shares of Common Stock or preferred stock;  provided,
     however,  "New  Securities" does not include (i) the shares of Common Stock
     issuable upon exercise of the Purchase  Option,  (ii)  securities  issuable
     upon exercise or conversion of securities  outstanding  on the date hereof,
     (iii) securities offered to the public generally pursuant to a registration
     statement under the Securities  Act, (iv)  securities  issued to employees,
     officers or  directors  of, or  consultants  to, the  ISSUER,  or issued or
     issuable to banks or other  institutional  lenders or lessors in connection
     with capital  asset leases or  borrowings  for the  acquisition  of capital
     assets,  landlords, or other providers of goods and services to the ISSUER,
     in each case,  if  pursuant  to any  arrangement  approved  by the board of
     directors  of the ISSUER  (including  securities  issued  upon  exercise or
     conversion of any such securities), or (v) any issuance of capital stock of
     the ISSUER upon the exercise or conversion of  derivative  securities,  the
     issuance  of which  triggered  the  pre-emptive  rights  set  forth in this
     Section 8.

9)   DISCLOSURE.  Neither the ISSUER nor the SUBSCRIBER  will disclose the terms
     of this  Subscription  Agreement  without the written  consent of the other
     party hereto,  unless required by law or regulation or judicial action. The
     SUBSCRIBER agrees that the foregoing sentence does not prohibit ISSUER from
     issuing a press  release in the form  attached as Exhibit B hereto and from
     providing  substantially  similar  disclosure about this transaction in its
     Exchange  Act Reports and other  documents  filed with the  Securities  and
     Exchange Commission.

10)  GOVERNING  LAW.  This  Subscription  Agreement  shall  be  governed  by and
     interpreted  in  accordance  with the  rulings  of the laws of the State of
     Florida  without regard to conflicts of law. The ISSUER and SUBSCRIBER each
     hereby  agrees that any action,  proceeding or claim against it arising out
     of, or relating in any way to this agreement  shall be brought and enforced
     in the courts of the State of  Florida  or of the United  States of America
     for the Middle District of Florida,  Jacksonville  Division and irrevocably
     submits to such jurisdiction,  which  jurisdiction shall be exclusive.  The
     ISSUER  and  SUBSCRIBER  hereby  waives  any  objection  to such  exclusive
     jurisdiction  and that such courts  represent an  inconvenient  forum.  Any
     process  or summons to be served  upon the  ISSUER  and  SUBSCRIBER  may be
     served by  transmitting  a copy thereof by  registered  or certified  mail,
     return receipt requested,  postage prepaid,  addressed to it at its address
     set forth herein.  Such mailing shall be deemed personal  service and shall
     be legal  and  binding  upon  the  ISSUER  and  SUBSCRIBER  in any  action,
     proceeding or claim.  The ISSUER and SUBSCRIBER  agrees that the prevailing
     party(ies)  in any such action  shall be entitled to recover from the other
     party(ies) all of its reasonable  attorneys' fees and expenses  relating to
     such  action  or  proceeding   and/or   incurred  in  connection  with  the
     preparation therefor.

11)  ENTIRE  AGREEMENT.  This  Subscription  Agreement  and the Purchase  Option
     constitutes  the entire  agreement among the parties hereof with respect to
     the  subject   matter   hereof  and   supersedes   any  and  all  prior  or
     contemporaneous representations, warrants, agreements and understandings in
     connection therewith.  This Subscription Agreement may be amended only by a
     writing executed by all parties hereto.

12)  NOTICES.  Any notice or other document required or permitted to be given or
     delivered to the parties to this Subscription Agreement shall be personally
     delivered  or sent by facsimile  or other form of  electronic  transmission
     (facsimile  or other form of  electronic  transmission  to be followed by a
     copy  sent by first  class  U.S.  Mail)  to the  party  at the  address  or
     addresses or telecopier number on the signature page

                                       8


     hereto. Unless otherwise specified in this agreement, all notices and other
     documents  given  under  this  agreement  shall be deemed to have been duly
     given when delivered, if personally delivered, and when transmitted if sent
     by facsimile or other form of electronic transmission.
