<PAGE>

ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) of 25% or more of either the then outstanding shares of
common stock or the combined voting power of Paragon's then outstanding voting
securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, or the last

not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50% of the combined voting power
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the merged or
consolidated company's then outstanding voting securities, or a liquidation or

nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to
constitute a majority thereof provided, however, that this provision will not be
triggered in the event the Executive votes or causes other stockholders to vote
their shares to cause said change to the directorship of the Company.

                  11.3 The Executive may terminate this Agreement at any time
within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control, upon thirty (30) days prior

Paragraph 11.4 hereof.

                  11.4 (a) Except as provided below in Paragraph 11.4(b) upon
termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Company shall
have no further obligations to the Executive and the Executive shall be entitled
to no further compensation from the Company, except for any pro-rata amounts due
to the Executive at such date of termination, as provided for in Paragraph 4.2.

                           (b) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the
Company pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 11.2(d) hereof or by the
Executive pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 11.3 hereof after the
occurrence of a Change of Control, the Executive shall be entitled to receive
(a)

<PAGE>

any accrued, but unpaid, Salary, (b) any authorized but unreimbursed business
expenses and any vacation or sick leave benefits which have accrued as of the
date of termination of the Agreement, but were then unpaid or unused, (c) any
accrued but unpaid bonus, and (d) an amount equal to One Hundred (100%) percent
of the pro-rated monthly Salary amount payable hereunder for the unexpired
Employment Period of the Agreement whether or not the Executive has sought or
obtained employment elsewhere after the termination of the Executive's
employment pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 11.2(d) or Paragraph 11.3
hereof. Any amount due the Executive under clauses (a), (b), (c) and/or (d) of
this paragraph shall be paid in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after
the termination of the Executive's employment hereunder, the Company at its
expense shall continue to provide the Executive with the medical and dental
benefits set forth in Paragraph 9 above for the unexpired Employment Period of
this Agreement whether or not the Executive has sought or obtained employment
elsewhere after the termination of the Executive's employment; provided,
however, if the Executive obtains employment elsewhere during the aforesaid
period, then the Company shall continue to provide the benefits set forth in
Paragraph 9 hereof only to the extent the Executive does not receive such
benefits in their entirety from the Executive's current employer. Upon payment
of the amount, if any, due the Executive pursuant to this Paragraph 11.4(b), the
Company shall have no further obligation to the Executive under this Agreement.

                11.5 Upon the termination of the Executive's employment, the
Employment Period shall be deemed to have ended. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, in the case of termination because of a Change in Control
pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 11.2(d) or Paragraph 11.3 hereof, the
provisions of Paragraph 7 hereof shall continue and remain in full force and
effect as if the Employment Period continues to expiration on the original
expiration date set forth in Paragraph 1 hereof.

         12.    INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

                The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, in the event he
shall violate any of the restrictions of Paragraph 3 or 7 hereof, the Company
will be without an adequate remedy at law and will therefore be entitled to
enforce such restrictions by temporary or permanent injunctive or mandatory
relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of proving
damages and without prejudice to any other remedies which it may have at law or
in equity. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to any other
state having proper jurisdiction, any such relief may be sought in, and for such
purpose the Executive consents to the jurisdiction of, the courts of the State
of Florida.

         13.    NO RESTRICTIONS

                The Executive hereby represents that neither the execution of
this Agreement nor his performance hereunder will (a) violate, conflict with or
result in a breach of any provisions of, or constitute a default (or an event
which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under
the terms, conditions or provisions of any contract, agreement or other
instrument or obligation to which the Executive is a party, or by which he may
be bound, or (b) violate any order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree
applicable to the Executive. In the event of a breach hereof, in

<PAGE>

addition to the Company's right to terminate this Agreement, the Executive shall
indemnify the Company and hold it harmless from and against any and all claims,
losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred
or suffered in connection with or as a result of the Company's entering into
this Agreement or employing the Executive hereunder.

         14.      ARBITRATION

                  14.1 Except with regard to Paragraph 12 hereof and any other
matters that are not a proper subject of arbitration, all disputes between the
parties hereto concerning the performance, breach, construction or
interpretation of this Agreement or any portion thereof, or in any manner
arising out of this Agreement or the performance thereof, shall be submitted to
binding arbitration, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association (the "AAA"), which arbitration shall be carried out in the manner
hereinafter set forth.

                14.2 Within twenty (20) days after written notice by one party
to the other of its demand for arbitration, which demand shall set forth the
name and address of its arbiter, the other party shall select its arbiter and so
notify the demanding party. Within twenty (20) days thereafter, the two arbiters
so selected shall select the third arbiter. The decision of any two (2) arbiters
shall be binding upon the parties. In default of either side naming its arbiter
as aforesaid or in default of the selection of the said arbiter as aforesaid,
the AAA shall designate such arbiter upon the application of either party. The
arbitration proceeding shall take place at a mutually agreeable location in
Jacksonville, Florida or such other location as agreed to by the parties.

                14.3 A party who files a notice of demand for arbitration must
assert in the demand all claims then known to that party on which arbitration is
permitted to be demanded. When a party fails to include a claim through
oversight, inadvertence or excusable neglect, or when a claim has matured or
been acquired subsequently, the arbitrators may permit amendment. A demand for
arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the claim has arisen,
and in no event shall it be made after the date when institution of legal or
equitable proceedings based on such claim would be barred by the applicable
statute of limitations.

                14.4 The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final,
binding and conclusive, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with
applicable law in the appropriate court in the State of Florida, with no right
of appeal therefrom.

                14.5 Each party shall pay its or his own expenses of
arbitration, and the expenses of the arbitrators and the arbitration proceeding
shall be equally shared; provided, however, that, if, in the opinion of a
majority of the arbitrators, any claim or defense was unreasonable, the
arbitrators may assess, as part of their award, all or any part of the
arbitration expenses of the other party

<PAGE>

(including reasonable attorneys' fees) and of the arbitrators and the
arbitration proceeding against the party raising such unreasonable claim or
defense.
