                        WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK


This is to Certify That, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, _________________________________,
a____________________________________________________________, having an office
at _________________________________________________________________________(the
"Holder") is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant,

930, Clearwater, Florida 33755 (the "Company"), the number of shares set forth
above (the "Warrant Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value
("Common Stock") at a price of $2.50 per share (or such other price computed by
applying all adjustments made on or before December 31, 2000, in accordance
with Section F hereof, to $2.50 as if it had been the initial Exercise Price
per share hereunder) at any time on or after October 15, 1999 until 5:00 P.M.
New York Time, on December 31, 2000. The number of shares of Common Stock to be
received upon the exercise of this Warrant and the price to be paid for a share
of Common Stock may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth. The
shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise, and as adjusted from
time to time, are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Warrant Shares" and the
exercise price of a share of Common Stock in effect at any time and as adjusted
from time to time is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Exercise Price."

The Warrants represented by the Certificate are part of an authorized class of
2,000,000 Warrants.

A. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. Subject to the following conditions precedent and the
   provisions of Section H hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in
   part at any time or from time to time on or after October 15, 1999, and
   before 5:00 P.M. New York Time on December 31, 2000, or, if either such day
   is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close, then
   on the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day, by presentation
   and surrender hereof to the Company at any office maintained by it in
   Clearwater, Florida, or at the office of its Warrant Agent, if any, with the
   Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment of the
   Exercise Price




                                       1
<PAGE>   2

for the number of shares specified in such form. If this Warrant should be
exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for
cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the
Holder hereof to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. Upon
receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its office, or by the Warrant Agent
of the Company at its office, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be
deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company
shall then be closed or that certificate representing such shares of Common
Stock shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.

B. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there
   shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant
   such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance
   of delivery upon exercise of this Warrant.

C. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
   shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to
   any fraction of a share called for upon exercise hereof, the Company shall
   issue to the Holder the next whole share.

D. EXCHANGE, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT. This Warrant is exchangeable,
   without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and
   surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of the Warrant Agent for
   other Warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to
   purchase in aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
   hereunder. The term Warrant as used herein includes any Warrants into which
   this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company of
   evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or
   mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction)
   of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and
   cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will execute and
   deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new warrant executed
   and delivered shall constitute an additional contractual obligation on the
   part of the Company, whether or not this Warrant so lost stolen, destroyed,
   or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

E. RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue here of, be entitled
   to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and
   the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the Warrant and
   are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth
   herein.

F. STOCK DIVIDENDS, RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION, ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS,
   ETC. This Warrant is subject to the following further provisions:




                                       2
<PAGE>   3

   1. In case, prior to the expiration of this Warrant by exercise or by its
      terms, the Company shall issue any shares of its Common Stock as a stock
      dividend or subdivide the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
      into a greater number of shares, then, in either of such cases, the
      Exercise Price per share of the Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to
      this Warrant in effect at the time of such action shall be
      proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares at that time
      purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be proportionately increased;
      and conversely, in the event the Company shall contract the number of
      outstanding shares of Common Stock by combining such shares into a
      smaller number of shares, then, in such case, the Exercise Price per
      share of the Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant in
      effect at the time of such action shall be proportionately increased and
      the number of Warrant Shares at that time purchasable pursuant to this
      Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Provided however, the maximum
      Exercise Price shall not exceed $10.00 and the corresponding minimum
      number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof shall equal the
      number determined by multiplying the initial number of Warrant Shares
      which could be obtained upon exercise by $2.50 and dividing the product
      so obtained by $10.00. Any dividend paid or distributed upon the Common
      Stock in stock of any other class of securities convertible into shares
      of Common Stock shall be treated as a dividend paid in Common Stock to
      the extent that shares of Common Stock are issuable upon the conversion
      thereof.

   2. In case, prior to the expiration of this Warrant by exercise or by its
      terms, the Company shall be recapitalized by reclassifying its
      outstanding Common Stock, $.001 par value, into stock with a different
      par value or by changing its outstanding Common Stock with par value to
      stock without par, the Company or a successor corporation shall be
      consolidated or merge with or convey all or substantially all of its or
      of any successor corporation's property and assets to any other
      corporation or corporations (any such corporation being included within
      the meaning of the term successor corporation in the event of any
      consolidation or merger of any such corporation with, or the sale of all
      or substantially all of the property of any such corporation to, another
      corporation or corporations), in exchange for stock or securities of a
      successor corporation, the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter have
      the right to purchase upon the terms and conditions and during the time
      specified in this Warrant, in lieu of the Warrant Shares theretofore
      purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of
      shares of stock and other securities receivable upon such
      recapitalization or consolidation, merger or conveyance by a holder of
      the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder of this Warrant
      might have purchased immediately prior to such recapitalization or
      consolidation, merger or conveyance.

   3. Upon the occurrence of each event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise
      Price and of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such adjusted
      Exercise Price




                                       3
<PAGE>   4

      by reason of such event in accordance with the provisions of this Section
      F, the Company shall compute the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted
      number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such adjusted Exercise Price by
      reason of such event in accordance with the provisions of this Section F
      and shall prepare a certificate setting forth such adjusted Exercise
      Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares and showing in detail the
      facts upon which such conclusions are based. The Company shall mail
      forthwith to each holder of this Warrant a copy of such certificate, and
      thereafter said certificate shall be conclusive and shall be binding upon
      such holder unless contested by such holder by written notice to the
      Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of the certificate by such
      holder.

   4. In case:

      (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
          for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or any other
          distribution in respect of the Common Stock (including cash),
          pursuant to without limitation, any spin-off, split-off or
          distribution of the Company's assets; or

      (b) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
          for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase any
          shares of stock of any class or to receive any other rights; or

      (c) of any classification, reclassification or other reorganization of
          the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the
          Company with or into another corporation, or conveyance of all or
          substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

      (d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
          up of the Company;

      then, and in any such case, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at
      least twenty (20) days prior thereto, a notice stating the date or
      expected date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
      dividend or distribution of rights, or the date on which such
      classification, reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger,
      conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up is to take place, as
      the case may be. Such notice shall also specify the date or expected
      date, if any is to be fixed, as of which holders of Common Stock of
      record shall be entitled to participate in said dividend or distribution
      of rights, or shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common stock
      for securities or other property deliverable upon such classification,
      reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
      dissolution, liquidation, or winding up, as the case may be. The failure
      to give such notice shall not affect the validity of any such proceeding
      or transaction and shall not affect the right of the holder of this




                                       4
<PAGE>   5

      Warrant to participate in said dividend, distribution of rights, or any
      such exchange and acquire the kind and amount of cash, securities or
      other property as the Holder would have been entitled to acquire if it
      was the record holder of the Warrant Shares which could be obtained upon
      the exercise of the Warrants immediately before such proceeding or
      transaction; provided that, the Holder exercises the Warrants within 30
      days after discovery that such action or proceeding has taken place.

   5. In case the Company at any time while this Warrant shall remain unexpired
      and unexercised, shall dissolve, liquidate, or wind up its affairs, the
      holder of this Warrant may thereafter receive upon exercise hereof in
      lieu of each share of Common Stock of the Company which it would have
      been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of any securities or
      assets as may be issuable, distributable or payable upon any such
      dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to each share of
      Common Stock of the Company.

G. OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as
   required by the provisions of the foregoing Section, the Company shall
   forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary at its principal office and
   with the Warrant Agent, if any, an officer's certificate showing the
   adjusted Exercise Price determined as therein provided, setting forth in
   reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment, including a statement
   of the number of additional shares of Common Stock, if any, the
   consideration for such shares, determined as provided in such Section F, and
   such other facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for and the manner
   of computing such adjustment. Each such officer's certificate shall be made
   available at all reasonable times for inspection by the holder and the
   Company shall, forthwith after each such adjustment, mail a copy of such
   certificate to the holder.

H. TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. Neither this Warrant,
   the Warrant Shares, nor any other security issued or issuable upon exercise
   of this Warrant may be sold or otherwise disposed or except as follows:

   1. to a person who, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
      Company, is a person to whom the Warrant or Warrant Shares may legally be
      transferred without registration and without the delivery of a current
      prospectus under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") with
      respect thereto and then only against receipt of an agreement of such
      person to comply with the provisions of this Section H with respect to
      any resale or other disposition of such securities; or

   2. to any person upon delivery of a prospectus then meeting the requirements
      of the Act relating to such securities and the offering thereof for such
      sale or disposition.
