                          ARTICLE XV - INDEMNIFICATION

         1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION.

         Any person, his heirs, or personal representative, made, or threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory, or
investigative ("Proceeding") because he is or was a director or officer of this
Corporation or serves or served any other corporation or other enterprise in any
capacity at the request of this Corporation, shall be indemnified by this
Corporation, to the full extent permitted by the Florida Business Corporation
Act, under Section 607.0850; provided, however, that the Corporation shall
indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with a Proceeding (or
part thereof) initiated by such person only if such Proceeding (or part thereof)
was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. In discharging his
duty, any director or officer, when acting in good faith, may rely upon
information, opinions, reports, or statements, including


                                       9






<PAGE>

financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or
presented by (1) one or more officers or employees of the Corporation whom the
director or officer reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the
matters presented, (2) counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to
matters that the director or officer believes to be within that person's
professional or expert competence, or (3) in the case of a director, a committee
of the board of directors upon which he does not serve, duly designated
according to law, as to matters within its designated authority, if the director
reasonably believes that the committee is competent.

         2. ADVANCES.

         The rights set forth above in this Article XV shall include the right
to be paid by the Corporation expenses incurred in defending or being
represented in any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition;
provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or
officer because he is or was a director or officer of this Corporation or serves
or served any other corporation or enterprise in any capacity at the request of
this Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
rendered by such person while a director or officer, including service to an
employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding,
shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on
behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it
should be determined ultimately that such director or officer is not entitled to
be indemnified under this Article XV or otherwise.

         3. CONTRACT RIGHT.

         All rights to indemnification, including advancement of expenses, shall
be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Corporation and the director
or officer who serves in such capacity at any time while this Article XV and
other relevant provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act and other
applicable law, if any, are in effect, such that any repeal or modification
thereof shall not adversely affect any right existing at the time of such repeal
or modification.

         4. RIGHT TO BRING SUIT.

         If a claim under the preceding paragraphs of this Article XV is not
paid in full by the Corporation within 90 days after a written claim therefor
has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter
bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim
and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be
paid also the expense, including attorney's fees, of prosecuting such claim. It
shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a
claim for expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation)
that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct which makes it
permissible under the Florida Business


                                       10







<PAGE>

Corporation Act for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount
claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation.
Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel, or its Shareholders) to have made a determination
prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is
proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in the Florida Business Corporation Act, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent
legal counsel, or its Shareholders) that the claimant had not met such
applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a
presumption that claimant had not met the applicable standard of conduct.

         5. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS.

         The rights conferred on any person by this Article XV shall not be
exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire
under any statute, provision of these By-Laws, the Articles of Incorporation,
agreement, vote of Shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

         6. INSURANCE.

The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, for the purpose of
indemnifying itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation or another corporation, partnership, trust or other enterprise,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to provide such indemnity
under the Florida Business Corporation Act.
