Pursuant to the provisions of Section 607.0602, Florida Statutes, this Florida
profit corporation adopts the following articles of amendment to its articles of
incorporation:

FIRST:      Amendment(s) adopted: (indicate article number(s) being amended,
            added or deleted)

            ARTICLE IV is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

The capital stock of this Corporation shall consist of 40,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, each share with a par value of $0.001 per share; and 10,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock, each share with a par value of $0.001 per share or a
par value as otherwise specified in the Series of Preferred Stock designated as
follows:

         A.       Series A Convertible Preferred Stock:

                            1. Designation and Amount

         The designation of this series, which consists of 1,500,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, is the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A
Preferred Stock") and the stated value shall be Three Dollars ($3.00) per share
(the "Stated Value").

                                     2. Rank

         All shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall rank (i) prior to the
Corporation's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock");
(ii) prior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter
created (unless, with the consent of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock
obtained in accordance with Section A.9 of Article IV of the Articles of
Incorporation of the Corporation, such class or series of capital stock
specifically, by its terms, ranks senior to or pari passu with the Series A
Preferred Stock) (collectively, with the Common Stock, "Junior Securities");
(iii) pari passu with the Corporation's Series B Preferred Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock and with any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation
hereafter created (with the consent of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock
obtained in accordance with Section A.9 hereof) specifically ranking, by its
terms, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Pari Passu
Securities"); and (iv) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the
Corporation hereafter created (with the consent of the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock obtained in accordance with Section A.9 hereof) specifically
ranking, by its terms, senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (the



                                       6

"Senior Securities"), in each case as to distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or
involuntary.

                                  3. Dividends

                           (a)      The holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to receive non-cumulative cash dividends at the rate
(the "Dividend Rate") of Two Percent (2.0%) per annum, which dividends shall be
payable if and when declared by the Board of Directors and set aside for payment
to holders of record as they appear on the stock books on such record dates as
are fixed by the Board of Directors out of funds at the time legally available
for the payment of dividends. For purposes of calculation of such cash
dividends, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be valued at the Stated Value.

                           (b)      Notwithstanding Subsection (a) above, the
Corporation may, in its sole discretion, but is not obligated to, pay any or all
dividends in Common Stock rather than cash. The Corporation shall pay such
dividend by issuing to such holder shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate
Market Value (as defined below) equal to the amount of the cash dividends
otherwise payable to such holder on the applicable dividend payment date. For
purposes of this paragraph, the aggregate "Market Value" of the Common Stock
with respect to any dividend payment date shall mean the average of the Closing
Prices (as defined in Section A. 5(b)) of the shares of Common Stock for the 20
consecutive Trading Days preceding the date that is five Trading Days prior to
the dividend payment date, multiplied by the number of shares to be issued to
such holder.

                           (c)      No dividends or other distributions, other
than dividends or other distributions payable solely in shares of capital stock
of the Corporation and liquidating distributions which are subject to the
provisions of Section A.4, shall be paid or set aside for payment on, and no
purchase, redemption or other acquisition shall be made of, any shares of
capital stock of the Corporation (other than any class or series of Senior
Securities, or any class or series of Pari Passu Securities so long as any
dividend payments per share on Pari Passu Securities as a percentage of accrued
and unpaid dividends per share on Pari Passu Securities do not exceed
contemporaneous dividend payments per share on the Series A Preferred Stock as a
percentage of unpaid dividends per share on the Series A Preferred Stock from
the beginning of the year through the payment date), unless and until all unpaid
dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock from the beginning of the year through
the payment date, shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof set aside for such purposes.

                           (d)      Any reference to "distribution" contained
in this Section A.3 shall not be deemed to include any stock dividend consisting
solely of shares of Common Stock or distributions made in connection with any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or
involuntary.

                           (e)      The holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions
except as provided herein.

                            4. Liquidation Preference

                  (a) If the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under
the Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an
involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the
Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or make an assignment
for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, or if a decree or order for relief in
respect of the Corporation shall be entered by a court having jurisdiction in
the premises in an involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any
other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law
resulting in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any
substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of
its affairs, and any such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect for a
period of sixty (60) consecutive days and, on account of any such event (a
"Liquidation Event"), the Corporation shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, or
if the Corporation shall otherwise liquidate, dissolve or wind up, no
distribution shall be made to the holders of any shares of capital stock of the
Corporation (other than Senior Securities) upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up unless prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, subject to Section A.6, shall have received the Liquidation Preference
(as defined in Section A.4(d)) with respect to each share. If upon the
occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds available for
distribution among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and holders of
Pari Passu Securities shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such
holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire assets and
funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the Series A
Preferred Stock and the Pari Passu Securities shall be distributed ratably among
such shares in proportion to the ratio that the Liquidation Preference payable
on each such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation Preference payable on all
such shares.

                  (b) After payment in full of the Liquidation Preference of the
Series A Preferred Stock, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be
entitled to receive any additional cash, property or other assets of the
Corporation upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

                  (c) Neither the consolidation, merger or other business
combination of the Corporation with or into any other entity, nor the sale,
exchange or transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation
shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation for purposes of this Section A.4 unless such sale, exchange or
transfer is in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation.

                  (d) For purposes hereof, the "Liquidation Preference" with
respect to a share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall mean an amount equal to
the Stated Value thereof.

                    5. Redemption of Series A Preferred Stock

                  (a) Except as provided in Section 5(b) below, the Series A
Preferred Stock is not subject to redemption.

                  (b). In the event that the Corporation (i) fails to issue
shares of Common Stock to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock upon exercise
by the holders of their conversion rights in accordance with the terms of this
Certificate of Designation (for a period of at least sixty (60) days if such
failure is solely as a result of the circumstances governed by the second
paragraph of Section A.6(d) below and the Corporation is using all commercially
reasonable efforts to authorize a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock as
soon as practicable), or (ii) fails to transfer any certificate for shares of
Common Stock issued to the holders upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock as and when required by this Certificate of Designation (each of the
foregoing failures being a "Mandatory Redemption Event") and any such failure
shall continue uncured for ten (10) business days after the Corporation shall
have been notified thereof in writing by the holder; then, upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of any Mandatory Redemption Event specified in
clauses (i) and (ii) above, at the option of the holders of at least 50% of the
then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock by written notice (the
"Mandatory Redemption Notice") to the Corporation of such Mandatory Redemption
Event, the Corporation shall purchase the holder's shares of Series A Preferred
Stock for an amount per share (the "Mandatory Redemption Amount") equal to 125%
multiplied by the Redemption Price in effect at the time of the redemption
hereunder.

                  The "Redemption Price" with respect to each share of Series A
Preferred Stock shall mean the amount equal to the greater of (A) the number of
shares of Common Stock to which such failure relates multiplied by the Closing
Price (as defined below) on the Conversion Default Date (as defined below) and
(B) the Stated Value thereof.

                  "Closing Price" of the Common Stock on any day shall mean the
last reported sale price regular way on such day or, in case no such sale takes
place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices
regular way of the Common Stock in each case on a national securities exchange,
or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any such
exchange, on the NASDAQ National Market, Small Cap Market or other quotation
system on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or quoted, or,
if not listed or admitted to trading or quoted on any national securities
exchange or quotation system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of
the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on the day in question as
reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or a similarly generally
accepted reporting service, or, if not so available in such manner, as furnished
by any NASD member firm selected from time to time by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation for that purpose. In the event that the Closing Price as of any
date cannot be determined using any of the foregoing methods, it shall be an
amount equal to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined
by a recognized investment banking firm selected by the Corporation and
reasonably satisfactory to the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock being
redeemed.

<PAGE>



                  If the Corporation fails to pay the Mandatory Redemption
Amount for each share within five (5) business days of written notice that such
amount is due and payable, then each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall
have the right at any time, so long as the Mandatory Redemption Event continues
to require the Corporation, upon written notice, to immediately issue (in
accordance with the terms of Article 6 below), in lieu of the Mandatory
Redemption Amount, with respect to each outstanding share of Series A Preferred
Stock held by such holder, the number of shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation equal to the Mandatory Redemption Amount divided by the Conversion
Price then in effect.

                    6. Conversion at the Option of the Holder

                  (a) Each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, at
its option, at any time, upon surrender of the certificates therefor, convert
shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder into shares of Common
Stock (an "Optional Conversion"). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall
be convertible into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value thereof by the
then-effective Conversion Price (as defined below).

                  (b) The "Conversion Price" shall be the greater of $3.00 or
80% of the Closing Price on the Conversion Date (defined below), subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:

                           (i)      Adjustment to Conversion Price Due to Stock
Split, Stock Dividend, Etc. If at any time when the Series A Preferred Stock is
issued and outstanding, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is
increased by a stock split, stock dividend, combination reclassification or
other similar event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced, or
if the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a reverse
stock split, combination or reclassification of shares, or other similar event,
the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased. In such event, the
Corporation shall notify the Transfer Agent of such change on or before the
effective date thereof.

                           (ii)     Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation,
Etc. If, at any time when Series A Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding and
prior to the conversion of all Series A Preferred Stock, there shall be (1) any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than
a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value
to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (2) any
consolidation or merger of the Corporation with any other corporation (other
than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing
corporation and its capital stock is unchanged), (3) any sale or transfer of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or (4) any share exchange
pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted
into other securities or property, then the holders of Series A Preferred Stock
shall, upon being given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such
transaction, thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon conversion
of Series A Preferred Stock, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions
specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore issuable upon conversion, such shares


                                       10

<PAGE>



of stock and/or securities or other property as may be issued or payable with
respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the conversion of Series A Preferred
Stock held by such holders had such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares,
recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event not taken place, and in
any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights
and interests of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to the end that the
provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of
the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be
practicable in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter
deliverable upon the conversion thereof. The Corporation shall not effect any
transaction described in this subsection (ii) unless (1) each holder of Series A
Preferred Stock has received written notice of such transaction at least thirty
(30) days prior thereto, and (2) the provisions of this paragraph have been
complied with. The above provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not
there would have been a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized
and available for issuance upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock outstanding as of the date of such transaction, and shall similarly apply
to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or
share exchanges.

                           (iii)    No Fractional Shares.  If any adjustment
under this Section A.6(b) would create a fractional share of Common Stock, such
fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion shall be the next higher number of shares.

                  (c) In order to convert Series A Preferred Stock into full
shares of Common Stock, a holder shall: (1) fax a copy of the fully executed
notice of conversion in the form attached hereto ("Notice of Conversion") to the
Corporation at the office of the Corporation or its designated Transfer Agent,
if any, for the Series A Preferred Stock that the holder elects to convert the
same, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to be converted, the applicable Conversion Price and a calculation of the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (together with a
copy of each certificate to be converted) prior to Midnight, New York City time
(the "Conversion Notice Deadline") on the date of conversion specified on the
Notice of Conversion (the "Conversion Date"); and (2) surrender the original
certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock being converted (the
"Preferred Stock Certificates"), duly endorsed, along with a copy of the Notice
of Conversion and a signed Lock-Up Agreement ("Lock-Up Agreement") in the form
attached hereto as soon as practicable thereafter to the office of the
Corporation or the Transfer Agent, if any, for the Series A Preferred Stock;
provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue
certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
unless either the Preferred Stock Certificates are delivered to the Corporation
or its Transfer Agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation
or its Transfer Agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed
(subject to the requirements of subparagraph (i) below). In the case of a
dispute as to the calculation of the Conversion Price, the Corporation shall
promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock to purchase shares of
Common Stock that are not disputed in accordance with subparagraph (ii)


                                       11

<PAGE>



below. The Corporation shall submit the disputed calculations to its outside
accountant via facsimile within two (2) business days of receipt of the Notice
of Conversion. The accountant shall audit the calculations and notify the
Corporation and the holder of the results no later than 48 hours from the time
it receives the disputed calculations. The accountant's calculation shall be
deemed conclusive absent manifest error.

                           (i)      Lost or Stolen Certificates.  Upon receipt
by the Corporation of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
any Preferred Stock Certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity or security
reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, and upon surrender and cancellation
of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s), if mutilated, the Corporation shall
execute and deliver new Preferred Stock Certificate(s) of like tenor and date.
However, the Corporation shall not be obligated to reissue such lost or stolen
Preferred Stock Certificate(s) if the holder contemporaneously requests the
Corporation to convert such Series A Preferred Stock.

                           (ii)     Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion.
Upon the surrender of certificates as described above from a holder of Series A
Preferred Stock accompanied by a Notice of Conversion and Lock-Up Agreement, the
Corporation shall issue and, within two (ii) business days (the "Delivery
Period") after such surrender (or, in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed
certificates, after provision of agreement and indemnification pursuant to
subparagraph (ii) above), deliver to or upon the order of the holder (1) that
number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock converted as shall be determined in accordance herewith and (2)
a certificate representing the balance of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
not converted, if any.

                           (iii)    No Fractional Shares.  If any conversion of
Series A Preferred Stock would result in a fractional share of Common Stock,
such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be the next
higher number of shares.

                           (iv)     Conversion Date.  The "Conversion Date"
shall be the date specified in the Notice of Conversion, provided (1) that the
advance copy of the Notice of Conversion is faxed to the Corporation before
Midnight, New York City time, on the Conversion Date, and (2) that the original
Preferred Stock Certificate(s), duly endorsed, are surrendered along with a copy
of the Notice of Conversion as soon as practicable thereafter to the office of
the Corporation or the Transfer Agent for the Series A Preferred Stock. The
person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of
such securities as of the Conversion Date and all rights with respect to the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered shall forthwith terminate except
the right to receive the shares of Common Stock or other securities or property
issuable on such conversion.

                  (d) A number of shares of the authorized but unissued Common
Stock sufficient to provide for the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock
outstanding at the then current


                                       12

<PAGE>



Conversion Price shall at all times be reserved by the Corporation, free from
preemptive rights, for such conversion or exercise. If the Corporation shall
issue any securities or make any change in its capital structure which would
change the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of the Series
A Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price the
Corporation shall at the same time also make proper provision so that thereafter
there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and
reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Series
A Preferred Stock on the new basis. If, at any time, a holder of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock submits a Conversion Notice and the Corporation does
not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available to
effect such conversion in accordance with the provisions of this Section A.6 (a
"Conversion Default"), the Corporation shall issue to the holder all of the
shares of Common Stock which are available to effect such conversion. The number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock included in the Notice of Conversion which
exceeds the amount which is then convertible into available shares of Common
Stock (the "Excess Amount") shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, not be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the
terms hereof until (and at the holder's option at any time after) the date
additional shares of Common Stock are authorized by the Corporation to permit
such conversion, at which time the Conversion Price in respect thereof shall be
the lesser of (1) the Conversion Price on the first day of the Conversion
Default (the "Conversion Default Date") and (2) the Conversion Price on the
Conversion Date subsequently elected by the holder in respect thereof. The
Corporation shall send notice to the holder of the authorization of additional
shares of Common Stock and the Authorization Date

                  Nothing herein shall limit the holder's right to pursue actual
damages for the Corporation's failure to maintain a sufficient number of
authorized shares of Common Stock as required pursuant to the terms of this
Section 6(d) or to cause a Mandatory Redemption pursuant to Section A.5(b), and
each holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in
equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief).

                  (e) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of
the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section A.6, the Corporation, at its
expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series A
Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of
Series A Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like
certificate setting forth (1) such adjustment or readjustment, (2) the
Conversion Price at the time in effect and (3) the number of shares of Common
Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time
would be received upon conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock.

                             7. Mandatory Conversion

                  (a) The Corporation shall have the right, by written note to
each holder of Series A Preferred Stock, to convert all shares of Series A
Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (a "Mandatory Conversion") at any
time on or after the first day on which the Closing Price (determined without
use of the last sentence of the definition of Closing Price) has been equal to
or in excess of the Conversion Price for forty-five (45) consecutive calendar
days (the Closing Price on any Saturday, Sunday or holiday shall be deemed to be
the Closing Price on the last preceding trading day). Each share of Series A
Preferred Stock shall be convertible into such number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated
Value by the then effective Conversion Price.

                  (b) All shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed
canceled as of the date of the Corporation's notice of Mandatory Conversion.

                             8. Registration Rights.

         Each present and future holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to the benefits of the registration rights granted pursuant to this
Section A.8.

                  (a)      For purposes of this Section A.8:

                           (i)      The term "register," "registered," and
"registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a
registration statement or similar document in compliance with the Securities
Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration
statement or document;

                           (ii)     The term "Registrable Securities" means the

shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are
convertible and all shares of Common Stock issued as (or issuable upon the
conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued
as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in
replacement of, any of the Series A Preferred Stock excluding in all cases,
however, any Registrable Securities (x) sold by a person in a transaction in
which his rights under this Article 8 are not assigned, (y) sold in a public
offering registered under the Securities Act or (z) sold pursuant to Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act;

                           (iii) The number of shares of "Registrable Securities
then outstanding"
shall be determined by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of Series A Preferred Stock which are, and the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable pursuant to then exercisable or convertible securities
which are, Registrable Securities;

                           (iv) The term "Holder" means any person owning or
having the right to acquire Registrable Securities;


                                       14

<PAGE>



                           (v)      The term "SEC" means the Securities and
Exchange Commission; and

                           (vi) The term "Securities Act" shall mean the
Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended.

                  (b) (i) No later than December 31, 1999 the Company shall file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a registration statement
covering the Registrable Securities, and shall use its best offers to cause such
registration statement to become effective on or before ninety (90) days after
the date such registration statement is filed (the "Initial Registration"). If
such Initial Registration is not declared effective by the end of such period or
does not include all Registrable Securities, or the Company is not in compliance
with its obligations under Section A.8(d), the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities shall have the right to require by notice in writing that
the Company register all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such
Holders (a "Demand Registration") and the Company shall thereupon effect such
registration in accordance herewith. The parties agree that if such Holders
demand registration of less than all of the Registrable Securities, the Company,
at its option, may nevertheless file a registration statement covering all of
the Registrable Securities. Upon the filing by the Company of a Registration
Statement under Section A.8(c) below, and if the Company is in compliance with
its obligations under Sections A.8(c) and (d) below, the Demand Registration
rights granted pursuant to this Section A.8(b) shall cease. If such Registration
statement is not declared effective with respect to all Registrable Securities
or if the Company is not in compliance with such obligations, the Demand
Registration rights described herein shall remain in effect.

                           (ii)     If the Holders initiating the registration

request hereunder (the "Initiating Holders") intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting,
they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to
this Section A.8(b) and the Company shall include such information in the
written notice referred to in Section A.8(b)(i). In such event, the right of any
Holder to include its, his or her Registrable Securities in such registration
shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and
the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting
(unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating
Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to
distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the
Company as provided in Section A.8(d)(v)) enter into an under writing agreement
in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section A.8(b), if the underwriter
advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so
advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be
underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of securities that may be
included in the underwriting shall be allocated among all Initiating Holders and
other Holders who have been provided the notice required by Section A.8(b)(i) in
proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of shares of Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration by such Holder and
which would be eligible for inclusion in the registration but for the
application of this sentence.


                                       15

<PAGE>



                           (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not be required to file a registration statement following the effective
date of any registration of Company securities with respect to which Holders
were given the opportunity to register Registrable Shares under Section A.8(c)
below, or (b) during the period of time beginning on the date the Company files
a registration statement with the SEC described in Section A.8(c) below and
ending on the earlier to occur of (x) the date which is 120 days after such
registration becomes effective, or (y) the date on which the Company withdraws
such registration with the SEC. In addition, if the Company shall furnish to
Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section A.8(b) a
certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good
faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company it would be seriously
detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement
to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing
for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of
the Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more
than once in any twelve (12) month period.

                  (c) If (but without any obligation to do so) the Corporation
proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the
Corporation for stockholders other than the Holders) any shares of its Common
Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such
securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to the
sale of securities to employees pursuant to stock option awards and/or to
participants in a Company employee benefit or stock plan, or a registration on
any form which does not include substantially the same information, other than
information related to the selling stockholders or their plan of distribution,
as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the
sale of the Registrable Securities), the Corporation shall, at such time,
promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written
request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such
notice by the Corporation, the Corporation shall, subject to the provisions of
the immediately preceding sentence and Section A.8(e) hereof, cause to be
registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each
such Holder has requested to be so registered.

                  (d) Whenever required under this Section A.8 to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as reasonably possible:

                           (i)      Prepare and file with the SEC a registration
statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts
to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request
of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered
thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to one hundred
twenty (120) days.

                           (ii)     Prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus
used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such registration statement.



                                       16

<PAGE>



                           (iii) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies
of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order
to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

                           (iv) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do
business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states
or jurisdictions.

                           (v) In the event of any underwritten public offering,
enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual
and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder
participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.

                           (vi) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of
any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing.

                           (vii) In the case of an underwritten public offering,
furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable
Securities pursuant to this Section A.8, on the date that such Registrable
Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a
registration pursuant to this Section A.8, (A) an opinion, dated such date, of
the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in
such form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an
underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters and (B) a letter
dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the
Company, in such form and substance as is customarily given by independent
certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering,
addressed to the underwriters.

                  (e) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of
the Corporation to take any action pursuant to this Section A.8 with respect to
the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall have
furnished to the Corporation such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities
as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable
Securities.

                  (f) Except as set forth in this Section 8.(f), the Company
shall bear and pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with any
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section A.8(b), including
without limitation all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers,
and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, but
excluding underwriter's commissions and/or discounts with respect to shares sold
by Holders, which shall be


                                       17

<PAGE>



the responsibility of the Holders; provided, however, that (subject to Section
A.8(b)(ii) hereof) the Holders participating in any registration pursuant to
Section A.8(b) shall reimburse the Company for any expenses of any Demand
Registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section A.8(b) if the registration
request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of
the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all Holders
participating in such withdrawn registration shall bear such expenses pro rata
based upon the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such
registration). In no event shall the Company be required to pay any expenses
incurred by a Holder in connection with any registration, filing or
qualification pursuant to Section A.8(b).

                  (g) The Corporation shall bear and pay all expenses incurred
by it in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of
Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to Section
A.8(c), including without limitation all registration, filing, and qualification
fees, printers and accounting fees and all fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Corporation relating or allocable thereto. The Corporation shall not pay any
expenses incurred by a Holder in connection with any such registration, filing
or qualification, including, but not limited to underwriting discounts and
commissions relating to Registrable Securities and the fees and disbursements of
any professional advisors (including attorneys and accountants) utilized by the
selling Holders in connection with such registration, filing or qualification.

                  (h) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting
of shares being issued by the Corporation, the Corporation shall not be required
under Section A.8(b) or (c) hereof to include any of the Holders' securities in
such underwriting unless they accept the customary and reasonable terms of the
underwriting as agreed upon between the Corporation and the underwriters
selected by it, and then only in such quantity as will not, in the opinion of
the underwriters, jeopardize the success of the offering by the Corporation. If
the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by
stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities
sold other than by the Corporation that the underwriters reasonably believe
compatible with the success of the offering, then the Corporation shall be
required to include in the offering only that number of such securities,
including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters believe will not
jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be
allocated first among all holders of Other Securities and next apportioned among
the Holders who have provided notice required by Section A.8(b) or (c) and all
other holders of securities subject to registration rights granted by the
Corporation in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of shares of
securities requested to be included in such registration by such Holder and such
other holders and which would have been eligible for inclusion in such
registration but for the application of this sentence, or in such other
proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling stockholders). For
purposes of the provision of the preceding sentence concerning apportionment
amongst the selling stockholders, for any selling stockholder which is a
partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders of
such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired
partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be
deemed to be a single "selling stockholder," and any reduction with respect to
such "selling


                                       18

<PAGE>



stockholder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying
registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such
"selling stockholder," as defined in this sentence.

                  (i) No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration by the Corporation
as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
interpretation or implementation of this Section A.8.

                  (j) In the event any Registrable Securities are included
pursuant to a registration statement under this Section A.8:

                           (i)      To the extent permitted by law, the Company
will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the
Securities Act) and each person if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act") against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (joint or several) to which they or any of them may become subject
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal or state law,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements,
omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (A) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration
statement, including any preliminary prospectus (but only if such is not
corrected in the final prospectus) contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto, (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading (but only if such is not corrected in the final
prospectus), or (C) any violation or alleged violation by the Company in
connection with the registration of Registrable Securities under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities
law; and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter or controlling
person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, lia
bility or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in
this Section A.8(j)(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without
the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon
a violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by
any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.

                           (ii) To the extent permitted by law, each selling
Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each
of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any
underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement
and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the
foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act
or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or

liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any
Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such
Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished
by such Holder for use in connection with such registration; and each such
Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section A.8(j)(ii), in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this Section A.8(j)(ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section
A.8(j)(ii) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

                           (iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
under this Section A.8(j) of notice of the commencement of any action (including
any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section A.8(j),
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof
and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the
extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such
action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section A.8(j), but the omission so to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section
A.8(j).

                           (iv)     In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in
Section A.8(j)(i) and (ii) is applicable but for any reason is held to be
unavailable from the Company with respect to all Holders or any Holder, the
Company and the Holder or Holders, as the case may be, shall contribute to the
aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including any investigation,
legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in
settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted) to which
the Company and one or more of the Holders may be subject in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand, and
the Holder or Holders on the other, in connection with statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the net proceeds received by such Holder from the Registrable Securities as the
case may be, sold by such Holder pursuant to the registration statement. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.


                                       20

<PAGE>



Each person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of the Securities
Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder.

                           (v)      The obligations of the Company and Holders
under this Section A.8(j) shall survive the completion of any offering of
Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section A.8 or
otherwise.

                                9. Voting Rights

                  The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have no voting
power whatsoever, except as otherwise provided by the Florida Business
Corporation Act ("FBCA"), and in this Section A.9, and in Section A.10 below.

                  Notwithstanding the above, the Corporation shall provide each
holder of Series A Preferred Stock with prior notification of any meeting of the
shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to
shareholders). In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of its
shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to
receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe
for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation or
recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or
to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who
are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed sale, lease or conveyance
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any proposed
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall
mail a notice to each holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date
specified therein (or 30 days prior to the consummation of the transaction or
event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and
a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time.

                  To the extent permitted under the FBCA, the Series A Preferred
Stock shall be considered a single class of stock for voting purposes. To the
extent that under the FBCA the vote of the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock, voting separately as a class or series as applicable, is required to
authorize a given action of the Corporation, the affirmative vote or consent of
the holders of at least a majority of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by written
consent of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (except as
otherwise may be required under the FBCA) shall constitute the approval of such
action by the class. To the extent that under the FBCA holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of Common Stock,
voting together as one class, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into
which it is then convertible using the record date for the taking of such vote
of shareholders as the date as of which the Conversion Price is calculated.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of (and
copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders) all
shareholder meetings or written consents with respect to which they would


                                       21

<PAGE>



be entitled to vote, which notice would be provided pursuant to the
Corporation's by-laws and the FBCA.

                            10. Protection Provision

                  So long as shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding,
the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or
written consent, as provided by the FBCA) of the holders of at least a majority
of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock:

                                    (a)     alter or change the rights,
preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock or any Senior
Securities or Pari Passu Securities so as to affect adversely the Series A
Preferred Stock;

                                    (b)     create any new class or series of
capital stock having a preference over the Series A Preferred Stock as to
dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation (as previously defined in Section A.2 hereof, "Senior
Securities");

                                    (c)     create any new class or series of
capital stock ranking pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock as to
dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation (as previously defined in Section A.2 hereof, "Pari Passu
Securities");

                                    (d)     increase the authorized number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock or any class of Pari Passu Securities; or

                                    (e)     do any act or thing not authorized
or contemplated by this Certificate of Designation which would result in
taxation of the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock under Section
305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any comparable
provision of the Internal Revenue Code as hereafter from time to time amended).

                  In the event holders of at least a majority of the then
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock agree to allow the Corporation to
alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, pursuant to subsection (a) above, so as to affect the Series A
Preferred Stock, then the Corporation will deliver notice of such approved
change to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock that did not agree to such
alteration or change (the "Dissenting Holders") and Dissenting Holders shall
have the right for a period of thirty (30) days to convert pursuant to the terms
of this Certificate of Designation as they exist prior to such alteration or
change or continue to hold their shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

                  11. Cancellation of Series A Preferred Stock


                  In the event any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
converted pursuant to Section A.6, the shares so converted shall be canceled,
shall return to the status of unauthorized, but unissued preferred stock of no
designated series, and shall not be issuable by the Corporation as Series A
Preferred Stock.

                  B.  Series B Preferred Stock:

                            1. Designation and Amount

                  The designation of this series, which consists of 166,667
shares of Preferred Stock, is the Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B
Preferred Stock") and the stated value shall be Three Dollars ($3.00) per share
(the "Stated Value").

                                     2. Rank

                  All shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall rank (i)
prior to the Corporation's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common
Stock"); (ii) prior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation
hereafter created (unless, with the consent of the holders of Series B Preferred
Stock obtained in accordance with Section B.7 hereof, such class or series of
capital stock specifically, by its terms, ranks senior to or pari passu with the
Series B Preferred Stock) (collectively, with the Common Stock, "Junior
Securities"); (iii) pari passu with the Corporation's Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock and with any class or series of
capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created with the consent of the
holders of Series B Preferred Stock obtained in accordance with Section B.7
hereof specifically ranking, by its terms, on parity with the Series B Preferred
Stock (the "Pari Passu Securities"); and (iv) junior to any class or series of
capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created with the consent of the
holders of Series B Preferred Stock obtained in accordance with Section B.7
hereof specifically ranking, by its terms, senior to the Series B Preferred
Stock (the "Senior Securities"), in each case as to distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or
involuntary.

                                  3. Dividends

                                    (a)     The holders of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at the
rate (the "Dividend Rate") of Eight Percent (8.0%) per annum, which dividends
shall be payable in equal quarterly installments on March 31, June 30, September
30 and December 31 each year (each such date, regardless of whether any
dividends have been paid or declared and set aside for payment on such date,
being a "Dividend Payment Date") to holders of record as they appear on the
stock books on such record dates as are fixed by the Board of Directors, but
only out of funds at the time legally available for the payment of dividends.
For purposes of calculation of such cash dividends, the Series B Preferred Stock
shall be valued at the Stated Value. Such dividends shall begin to accrue on
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock from the date of issuance and
shall be deemed to accrue from day to day whether


                                       23

<PAGE>



or not earned or declared until paid and shall be cumulative; provided, however,
that dividends accrued or deemed to have accrued for any period shorter than the
full three-month period between Dividend Payment Dates shall be computed based
on the actual number of days elapsed in the three-month period for which such
dividends are payable. Dividends on account of any dividend that has accrued or
been deemed to have accrued but which have not been paid (a "Dividend
Arrearage") may be declared and paid at any time, in whole or in part, without
reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such
date as may be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

                                    (b)     No dividends or other distributions,
other than dividends or other distributions payable solely in shares of capital
stock of the Corporation and liquidating distributions which are subject to the
provisions of Section B.4, shall be paid or set aside for payment on, and no
purchase, redemption or other acquisition shall be made of, any shares of
capital stock of the Corporation (other than any class or series of Senior
Securities or Pari Passu Securities so long as any dividend payments per share
on Pari Passu Securities as a percentage of accrued and unpaid dividends per
share on Pari Passu Securities do not exceed contemporaneous dividend payments
per share on the Series B Preferred Stock as a percentage of accrued and unpaid
dividends per share on the Series B Preferred Stock), unless and until all
accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock, including the full
dividend for the then current quarterly dividend period and all outstanding
Dividend Arrearages shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for
the payment thereof set aside for such purposes.

                                    (c)     Any reference to "distribution"
contained in this Section B.3 shall not be deemed to include any stock dividend
or distributions made in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.

                                    (d)     The holders of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or other
distributions except as provided herein

                            4. Liquidation Preference

                           (a)      If the Corporation shall commence a
voluntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable Federal
or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or consent to the entry of an
order for relief in an involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other
similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property,
or make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a decree or order
for relief in respect of the Corporation shall be entered by a court having
jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy
laws or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law resulting in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any
substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of
its affairs, and any such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect for a
period of sixty (60) consecutive days and, on


                                       24

<PAGE>



account of any such event (a "Liquidation Event"), the Corporation shall
liquidate, dissolve or wind up, or if the Corporation shall otherwise liquidate,
dissolve or wind up, no distribution shall be made to the holders of any shares
of capital stock of the Corporation (other than Senior Securities) upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up unless prior thereto, the holders of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have received the Liquidation
Preference (as defined in Section B.4(d)) with respect to each share. If upon
the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds available for
distribution among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and holders of
Pari Passu Securities shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such
holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire assets and
funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the Series B
Preferred Stock and the Pari Passu Securities shall be distributed ratably among
such shares in proportion to the ratio that the Liquidation Preference payable
on each such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation Preference payable on all
such shares.

                           (b)      After payment in full of the Liquidation
Preference of the Series B Preferred Stock, holders of Series B Preferred Stock
shall not be entitled to receive any additional cash, property or other assets
of the Corporation upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation.

                           (c)      Neither the consolidation, merger or other
business combination of the Corporation with or into any other entity, nor the
sale, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the
Corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation for purposes of this Section B.4 unless such sale, exchange or
transfer is in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation.

                           (d)      For purposes hereof, the "Liquidation
Preference" with respect to a share of the Series B Preferred Stock shall mean
an amount equal to the Stated Value thereof plus all accrued but unpaid
dividends thereon.


                                    5. Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock

                           (a)      Except as provided in this Section B.5, the
Series B Preferred Stock is not subject to redemption.

                           (b)      The Corporation may, by written notice to
the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, redeem shares of Series B Preferred
Stock at a price (the "Redemption Price") equal to the Stated Value thereof plus
all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. Within ten (10) days following receipt
of notice of redemption, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall deliver
to the Corporation for cancellation certificates evidencing the Series B Stock,
and the Corporation shall tender the Redemption Price for such shares promptly
upon receipt of such certificates. Upon payment of the Redemption Price, all
shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed canceled for all purposes.



                                       25

<PAGE>



                           (c)      If on a mandatory redemption date the Board
determines that funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of the
Series B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to discharge such redemption
requirements in full, such funds as are so available for such purpose shall be
set aside and used for the redemption. Such redemption requirements shall be
cumulative, so that if such requirements shall not be fully discharged as they
accrue because of the insufficiency of funds legally available, legally
available funds shall be applied thereto until such requirements are fully
discharged. There shall be a redemption within 10 days after such funds become
available.

                           (d)      In the event of the redemption of only a
part of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation
shall effect such redemption pro rata according to the number of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock held by each holder of Series B Preferred Stock as of
10 days before the mandatory redemption date.

                           (e)      Not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days
prior to mandatory redemption date, written notice (the "Mandatory Redemption
Notice") shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of the
Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed at his post office address last shown on
the records of the Company. The Mandatory Redemption Notice shall state:

                                    (i)     The total number of shares of Series
B Preferred Stock being redeemed;

                                    (ii) The total number of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock held by the holder that the Corporation intends to redeem;

                                    (iii)   The mandatory redemption date and
the Redemption Price for the Series B Preferred Stock; and

                                    (iv)    That the holder is to surrender to
the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his certificate or
certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

                           (f) If the Mandatory Redemption Notice shall have
been duly given, and if on the mandatory redemption date the Redemption Price is
paid, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been
surrendered, the Redemption Price with respect to such shares shall cease to
increase after the mandatory redemption date and all rights with respect to such
shares shall forthwith after the mandatory redemption date terminate, except
only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price upon surrender of
their certificate or certificates therefor.

                                6. Voting Rights

                           (a)      The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock
have no voting power whatsoever, except as otherwise provided by the Florida
Business Corporation Act ("FBCA"), and in this Section B.6, and in Section B.7
below.

                           (b) The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock,
voting as a class, shall have the right to elect one (1) member of the
Corporation's Board of Directors.

                           (c) The Corporation shall provide each holder of
Series B Preferred Stock with prior notification of any meeting of the
shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to
shareholders). In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of its
shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to
receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe
for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation or
recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or
to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who
are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed sale, lease or conveyance
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any proposed
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall
mail a notice to each holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date
specified therein (or 30 days prior to the consummation of the transaction or
event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and
a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time.

                             7. Protection Provision

                  So long as shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding,
the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or
written consent, as provided by the FBCA) of the holders of at least a majority
of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a class:

                      (a) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges
of (i) the Series B Preferred Stock in any manner, or (ii) any Senior Securities
or Pari Passu Securities so as to affect adversely the Series B Preferred Stock;

                      (b) create any new class or series of capital stock having
a preference over the Series B Preferred Stock as to redemption rights or as to
payment of dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation (as previously defined in Section B.2 hereof,
"Senior Securities");

                      (c) create any new class or series of capital stock
ranking pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock as to redemption rights or
as to payment of dividends or

distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation (as previously defined in Section B.2 hereof, "Pari Passu

taxation of the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock under Section
305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any comparable
provision of the Internal Revenue Code as hereafter from time to time amended).

                  C.  Series Preferred Stock:

                            1. Designation and Amount

                  The designation of this series, which consists of 446,150
shares of Preferred Stock, is the Series C Preferred Stock (the "Series C
Preferred Stock") and the stated value shall be Three Dollars ($3.00) per share
(the "Stated Value").

                                     2. Rank

                  All shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall rank (i)

Stock"); (ii) prior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation

Securities"); (iii) pari passu with the Corporation's Series A Convertible

involuntary.

                                  3. Dividends

                                    (a)     The holders of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at the
rate (the "Dividend Rate") of Eight Percent (8%) per annum until the third
anniversary date of the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock and increasing
Two Percent (2%) on the third anniversary date and on each anniversary date
thereafter


                                       28

up to a maximum of Sixteen Percent (16%), which dividends shall be payable in
equal quarterly installments on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31
each year (each such date, regardless of whether any dividends have been paid or
declared and set aside for payment on such date, being a "Dividend Payment
Date") to holders of record as they appear on the stock books on such record
dates as are fixed by the Board of Directors, but only out of funds at the time
legally available for the payment of dividends. For purposes of calculation of
such cash dividends, the Series C Preferred Stock shall be valued at the Stated
Value. Such dividends shall begin to accrue on outstanding shares of Series C
Preferred Stock from the date of issuance (provided that immediately upon
issuance, each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to dividends as if such dividends had commenced accruing on July 1, 1999) and
shall be deemed to accrue from day to day whether or not earned or declared
until paid and shall be cumulative; provided, however, that dividends accrued or
deemed to have accrued for any period shorter than the full three-month period
between Dividend Payment Dates shall be computed based on the actual number of
days elapsed in the three-month period for which such dividends are payable.
Dividends on account of any dividend that has accrued or been deemed to have
accrued but which have not been paid (a "Dividend Arrearage") may be declared
and paid at any time, in whole or in part, without reference to any regular
Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date as may be fixed by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation.

                                    (b)     Notwithstanding Subsection (a)
above, the Corporation may, out of authorized but unissued shares of the
Corporation's Preferred Stock, in its sole discretion, but is not obligated to,
pay dividends accruing through June 30, 2000 in additional fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Series C Preferred Stock at the annual rate of Eight
Percent (8%) of a share of Series C Preferred Stock on each share of Series C
Preferred Stock then outstanding.

                                    (c)     No dividends or other distributions,
other than dividends or other distributions payable solely in shares of capital
stock of the Corporation and liquidating distributions which are subject to the
provisions of Section C.4, shall be paid or set aside for payment on, and no
purchase, redemption or other acquisition shall be made of, any shares of
capital stock of the Corporation (other than any class or series of Senior
Securities or Pari Passu Securities so long as any dividend payments per share
on Pari Passu Securities as a percentage of accrued and unpaid dividends per
share on Pari Passu Securities do not exceed contemporaneous dividend payments
per share on the Series C Preferred Stock as a percentage of accrued and unpaid
dividends per share on the Series C Preferred Stock), unless and until all
accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock, including the full
dividend for the then current quarterly dividend period and all outstanding
Dividend Arrearages shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for
the payment thereof set aside for such purposes.

                                    (d)     Any reference to "distribution"
contained in this Section C.3 shall not be deemed to include any stock dividend
or distributions made in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.

                                    (e)     The holders of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or other
distributions except as provided herein

                            4. Liquidation Preference

                           (a)      If the Corporation shall commence a
voluntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable Federal
or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or consent to the entry of an
order for relief in an involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other
similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property,
or make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a decree or order
for relief in respect of the Corporation shall be entered by a court having
jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy
laws or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law resulting in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any
substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of
its affairs, and any such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect for a
period of sixty (60) consecutive days and, on account of any such event (a
"Liquidation Event"), the Corporation shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, or
if the Corporation shall otherwise liquidate, dissolve or wind up, no
distribution shall be made to the holders of any shares of capital stock of the
Corporation (other than Senior Securities) upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up unless prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred
Stock shall have received the Liquidation Preference (as defined in Section
C.4(d)) with respect to each share. If upon the occurrence of a Liquidation
Event, the assets and funds available for distribution among the holders of the
Series C Preferred Stock and holders of Pari Passu Securities shall be
insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the preferential amounts
payable thereon, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally
available for distribution to the Series C Preferred Stock and the Pari Passu
Securities shall be distributed ratably among such shares in proportion to the
ratio that the Liquidation Preference payable on each such share bears to the
aggregate Liquidation Preference payable on all such shares.

                           (b)      After payment in full of the Liquidation
Preference of the Series C Preferred Stock, holders of Series C Preferred Stock
shall not be entitled to receive any additional cash, property or other assets
of the Corporation upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation.

                           (c)      Neither the consolidation, merger or other
business combination of the Corporation with or into any other entity, nor the
sale, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the
Corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation for purposes of this Article 4 unless such sale, exchange or
transfer is in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation.

                           (d)      For purposes hereof, the "Liquidation
Preference" with respect to a share of the Series C Preferred Stock shall mean
an amount equal to the Stated Value thereof plus all accrued but unpaid
dividends thereon.


                                    5. Redemption of Series C Preferred Stock

                           (a)      Except as provided in this Section C.5, the
Series C Preferred Stock is not subject to redemption.

                           (b)      The Corporation may, by written notice to
the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, redeem shares of Series C Preferred
Stock at a price (the "Redemption Price") equal to the Stated Value thereof plus
all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. Within ten (10) days following receipt
of notice of redemption, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall deliver
to the Corporation for cancellation certificates evidencing the Series C Stock,
and the Corporation shall tender the Redemption Price for such shares promptly
upon receipt of such certificates. Upon payment of the Redemption Price, all
shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be deemed canceled for all purposes.

                           (c)      In the event of the redemption of only a
part of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation
shall effect such redemption pro rata according to the number of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock held by each holder of Series C Preferred Stock as of
10 days before the redemption date.


                                    6. Voting Rights

                           (a)      The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock
have no voting power whatsoever, except as otherwise provided by the Florida
Business Corporation Act ("FBCA"), and in this Section C.6, and in Section C.7
below.

                           (b) The Corporation shall provide each holder of
Series C Preferred Stock with prior notification of any meeting of the
shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to
shareholders). In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of its
shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to
receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe
for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation or
recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or
to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who
are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed sale, lease or conveyance
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any proposed
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall
mail a notice to each holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date
specified therein (or 30 days prior to the consummation of the transaction or
event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such record is to be
taken for the purpose of such


                                       31

<PAGE>



dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding
the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to
the extent known at such time.

                             7. Protection Provision

                  So long as shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding,
the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or
written consent, as provided by the FBCA) of the holders of at least a majority
of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting as a class:

                                    (a)     alter or change the rights,
preferences or privileges of (i) the Series C Preferred Stock in any manner, or
(ii) any Senior Securities or Pari Passu Securities so as to affect adversely
the Series C Preferred Stock;

                                    (b)     create any new class or series of
capital stock having a preference over the Series C Preferred Stock as to
redemption rights or as to payment of dividends or distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (as previously defined
in Section C.2 hereof, "Senior Securities");

                                    (c)     create any new class or series of
capital stock ranking pari passu with the Series C Preferred Stock as to
redemption rights or as to payment of dividends or distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (as previously defined
in Section C.2 hereof, "Pari Passu Securities");

                                    (d)     increase the authorized number of
shares of Series C Preferred Stock or issue any additional shares of Series C
Preferred Stock or any class of Pari Passu Securities; or

                                    (e)     do any act or thing not authorized
or contemplated by this Certificate of Designation which would result in
taxation of the holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock under Section
305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any comparable
provision of the Internal Revenue Code as hereafter from time to time amended).


         SECOND::       Because these Articles of Amendment of the Articles
                        of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation

                        outstanding shares, no provisions for implementing
                        any such amendment as to issued and outstanding
                        shares are contained in these Articles of Amendment.
