                                                               Performance Units

                      R.J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO HOLDINGS, INC.
                          1999 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

                        ---------------------------------

                           PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT

                        ---------------------------------

                         DATE OF GRANT: FEBRUARY 2, 2000

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         1. Grant. Pursuant to the provisions of the 1999 Long Term Incentive
Plan (collectively, the "Plan"), R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings, Inc. (the
"Company") on the above date has granted to ________________ (THE "GRANTEE"),

subject to the terms and conditions which follow and the terms and conditions of
the Plan, a target of _____________  PERFORMANCE UNITS.

A copy of the Plan is attached and made a part of this Agreement with the same
effect as if set forth in the Agreement itself. The initial grant value of each
Performance Unit shall be $1.00 (the "Initial Grant Value"). All capitalized
terms used in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan,
unless the context requires a different meaning.

         2. Vesting. (a) The Performance Units shall have a three-year
performance period, consisting of the Company's fiscal years 2000, 2001 and 2002
(the "Performance Period"), at the end of which the Performance Units will be
valued and paid, if they vest, or cancelled, if they do not vest. For the
Performance Units to vest, the Company must pay to its stockholders a dividend
of at least $0.775 per share for each of the 12 quarters of the Performance
Period (the "Threshold Requirement"), unless the Company's Board of Directors
specifically approves the noncancellation of the Performance Units upon the
declaration of a quarterly dividend of less than $0.775 per share. In the event
the Company fails to pay its stockholders a dividend of at least $0.775 per
share in any quarter during the Performance Period, and the Company's Board of
Directors does not approve the noncancellation of the Performance Units, the
Performance Units shall be cancelled.

         (b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2(a) to the contrary, in the
event of (i) the Grantee's death, (ii) the Grantee's Permanent Disability (as
defined in the Company's Long Term Disability Plan), (iii) the Grantee's
retirement under a retirement plan of the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company, or (iv) the Grantee's involuntary Termination of Employment without
Cause (as such terms are defined in Section 5 of this Agreement), the number of

                                       1
<PAGE>   2

Performance Units which shall vest, if not previously cancelled due to the
Company's failure to meet the Threshold Requirement, shall be equal to product
of (x) the original number of Performance Units granted to the Grantee under
this Agreement and (y) a fraction, the numeration of which shall be the number
of whole or partial months between January 1, 2000 and the date of the Grantee's
Termination of Employment, and the denominator of which shall be 36. Such
prorated award shall be paid as soon as practicable following the close of the
Company's books at the end of the Performance Period, and each Performance Unit
shall have a Payment Value as defined in Section 3 of this Agreement.

         (c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2(a) to the contrary, in the
event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), the number of Performance
Units which shall vest, if not previously cancelled due to the Company's failure
to meet the Threshold Requirement, shall be equal to the product of (i) the
original number of Performance Units granted to the Grantee under this Agreement
and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole or
partial months in the Performance Period before the date of the Change of
Control, and the denominator of which shall be 36. Such prorated award shall be
paid as soon as practicable after the Change of Control. The value of each
Performance Unit shall be equal to the greater of (x) the Initial Grant Value or
(y) the Initial Grant Value multiplied by the average of the total weighted AIAP
(as defined in Section 3 of this Agreement) scores for the financial and market
share components of the AIAP for each of the years 2000, 2001 and 2002 completed
prior to the Change of Control.

         (d) Upon the Grantee's voluntary Termination of Employment or
Termination of Employment for Cause (as such terms are defined in Section 5 of
this Agreement) prior to the end of a Performance Period, all of the Grantee's
Performance Units shall be cancelled, except to the extent that at the time of
Termination of Employment, the Grantee has an employment or termination
agreement with the Company or one of its subsidiaries which includes
non-cancellation of some or all of the Performance Units.

         3. Valuation of Performance Units. At the end of the Performance
Period, if the Threshold Requirement is met or otherwise waived by the Company's
Board of Directors, the value of each Performance Unit shall be determined by
multiplying the Initial Grant Value by the average of the total weighted Annual
Incentive Award Plan ("AIAP") scores for the financial and market share
components of the AIAP for each of 2000, 2001 and 2002 (the "Payment Value").

         4. Payment. (a) Payment of Performance Units shall be made only in
cash. Except with respect to a Change of Control as described in Section 2(c) of
this Agreement, or except under such other circumstances as the Compensation
Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee")
deems appropriate, no payment shall be made to the Grantee prior to the end of
the Performance Period. Except with respect to a Change of Control as described
in Section 2(c) of this Agreement, payment of Performance Units shall be made in
the amount of the Payment Value as soon as practicable following the close of
the Company books at the end of the Performance Period.

          (b) Any payment made with respect to a Grantee who has died shall be
paid, at the end of the applicable award period, to the beneficiary designated
by the Grantee to receive the proceeds of any group life insurance coverage
provided for the Grantee by the Company or a

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

subsidiary of the Company. If the Grantee has not designated such beneficiary,
or desires to designate a different beneficiary, the Grantee may file with the
Company a written designation of a beneficiary under this Agreement, which
designation may be changed or revoked only by the Grantee. If no designation of
beneficiary has been made under such life insurance coverage or filed with the
Company under this Agreement, distribution shall be made to the Grantee's
spouse, if surviving; otherwise in equal shares to the surviving children of the
Grantee, if any; otherwise to the Grantee's estate.

         5. Termination of Employment. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "Termination of Employment" shall mean termination from active employment
with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company; it does not man the termination
of pay and benefits at the end of a period of salary continuation (or other form
of severance pay or pay in lieu of salary).

         (b) For purposes of this Agreement, if the Grantee has an employment or
severance agreement, employment shall be deemed to have been terminated for
"Cause" only as such term is defined in the employment or severance agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, if the Grantee does not have an employment or
severance agreement that defines the term "Cause," the Grantee's employment
shall be deemed to have been terminated for "Cause" if the Termination of
Employment results from the Grantee's: (i) criminal conduct; (ii) deliberate and
continual refusal to perform employment duties on substantially a full time
basis; (iii) deliberate and continual refusal to act in accordance with any
specific lawful instructions of an authorized officer or employee more senior
than the Grantee; or (iv) deliberate misconduct which could be materially
damaging to the Company or any of its business operations without a reasonable
good faith belief by the Grantee that such conduct was in the best interests of
the Company. A Termination of Employment shall not be deemed for Cause hereunder
unless the senior human resources executive of the Company shall confirm that
any such Termination of Employment is for Cause. Any voluntary Termination of
Employment by the Grantee in anticipation of an involuntary Termination of
Employment for Cause shall be deemed to be a Termination of Employment for
Cause.

         6. Transferability. Other than as specifically provided in this
Agreement with regard to the death of the Grantee, this Agreement and any
benefit provided or accruing hereunder shall not be subject in any manner to
anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or
change; and any attempt to do so shall be void. No such benefit shall, prior to
receipt thereof by the Grantee, be in any manner liable for or subject to the
debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the Grantee.

         7. No Right to Employment. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement nor the granting of the Performance Units evidenced by this Agreement
shall constitute any agreement or understanding, express or implied, on the part
of the Company or its subsidiaries to employ the Grantee for any specific period
or in any specific capacity or shall prevent the Company or its subsidiaries
from terminating the Grantee's employment at any time with or without Cause.

         8. Change in Corporate Structure. In the event of any stock split,
spin-off, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, stock combination or
reclassification, recapitalization or merger, Change of Control or similar
event, the Compensation Committee

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

shall make an appropriate adjustment to the level of dividends required under
Section 2(a) of this Agreement, and such other revisions to this Agreement as it
deems are equitably required. Any adjustment or revision made by the
Compensation Committee shall be final and binding on the Grantee, the Company
and all other interested persons; provided; however, that the Compensation
Committee may not make any such adjustments or revisions that are adverse to the
Grantee without the Grantee's written consent.

         9. Application of Laws. The granting of Performance Units under this
Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to
such approvals of any governmental agencies as may be required.

         10. Notices. Any notices required to be given hereunder to the Company
shall be addressed to The Secretary, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings, Inc., Post
Office Box 2866, Winston-Salem, NC 27102-2866, and any notice required to be
given hereunder to the Grantee shall be sent to the Grantee's address as shown
on the records of the Company.

         11. Taxes. Any taxes required by federal, state or local laws to be
withheld by the Company in respect of the grant of Performance Units or payment
of the Payment Value hereunder shall be paid to the Company by the Grantee by
the time such taxes are required to be paid or deposited by the Company. The
Grantee hereby authorizes the necessary withholding by the Company to satisfy
such tax withholding obligations prior to delivery of the Payment Value.

         12. Administration and Interpretation. In consideration of the grant of
Performance Units hereunder, the Grantee specifically agrees that the
Compensation Committee shall have the exclusive power to interpret the Plan and
this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation
and application of the Plan and Agreement as are consistent therewith and to
interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretation and
determinations made by the Compensation Committee shall be final, conclusive,
and binding upon the Grantee, the Company and all other interested persons. No
member of the Compensation Committee shall be personally liable for any action,
determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or
the Agreement. The Compensation Committee may delegate its interpretive
authority to an officer or officers of the Company.

         13. Amendment. This Agreement is subject to the Plan, a copy of which
is attached. The Board of Directors may amend the Plan and the Compensation
Committee may amend this Agreement at any time and in any way, except that any
amendment of the Plan or this Agreement that would impair the Grantee's rights
under this Agreement may not be made without the Grantee's written consent.

         14. Obligations of Grantee. (a) In consideration of the grant of
Performance Units hereunder, the Grantee, while both actively employed and in
the event of Grantee's Termination of Employment for any reason, specifically
agrees that within the term of this grant or within one year following the
payment of any amounts pursuant to the grant, if later: (i) the Grantee will
personally provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to the Company in
activities related to the prosecution or defense of any pending or future
lawsuits or claims involving the Company; (ii) the Grantee will promptly notify
the Company upon receipt of any requests from anyone other than an employee or
agent of the Company for information

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

regarding the Company, or if the Grantee becomes aware of any potential claim or
proposed litigation against the Company; (iii) the Grantee will refrain from
providing any information related to any claim or potential litigation against
the Company to any non-Company representatives without either the Company's
written permission or being required to provide information pursuant to legal
process; (iv) the Grantee will not disclose or misuse any confidential
information or material concerning the Company; and (v) the Grantee will not
engage in any activity contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company. In
further consideration of the grant of Performance Units hereunder, the Grantee
specifically agrees that if required by law to provide sworn testimony regarding
any Company-related matter: the Grantee will consult with and have Company
designated legal counsel present for such testimony (the Company will be
responsible for the costs of such designated counsel); the Grantee will confine
his testimony to items about which the Grantee has knowledge rather than
speculation, unless otherwise directed by legal process; and the Grantee will
cooperate with the Company's attorneys to assist their efforts, especially on
matters the Grantee has been privy to, holding all privileged attorney-client
matters in strictest confidence.

         (b) If the Company reasonably determines that the Grantee has
materially violated any of the Grantee's obligations under this Agreement, then
this Grant shall terminate, effective the date on which such violation began
(unless otherwise terminated sooner), and the Company may demand the return of
any amount paid to the Grantee hereunder and the Grantee hereby agrees to return
such amounts upon such demand. If after such demand the Grantee fails to return
such amounts, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company has the right to deduct
from any amounts the Company owes to the Grantee (including, but not limited to,
wages or other compensation), or to commence judicial proceedings against the
Grantee, to recover such amounts and any and all of its attorney's fees and
costs.

         15. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE SHALL GOVERN THE
INTERPRETATION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT,
REGARDLESS OF THE LAW THAT MIGHT BE APPLIED UNDER PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF
LAWS.

                                       5

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, by its duly authorized officer, and
the Grantee have executed this Agreement as of the Date of Grant first above
written.

         2. DIVIDENDS. The Holders of the Series A1 Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive dividends, whether in cash, property or otherwise (other
than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock), out of any assets
legally available therefor, ratably with any declaration or payment of any
dividend to any Junior Securities of the Company, when, as and if declared by

and the holders of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company.

            b. The Company shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation,

<PAGE>   3

         4. VOTING RIGHTS.

            a. GENERAL VOTING RIGHTS. Each Holder shall have the right to one
vote for each share of Common Stock into which the shares Series A1 Preferred
Stock owned by such Holder could then be converted, and with respect to such
vote, such Holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting
rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled to
notice of any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the charter documents of
the Company, and shall be entitled to vote, together with the holders of Common
Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the
right to vote. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any
fractional voting rights available on an as-converted basis (after aggregating

could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.

            b. CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. As long as any shares of Series A1 Preferred
Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, and shall cause its subsidiaries
not to, without the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of 90% of the
shares of the Series A1 Preferred Stock then outstanding (or, with respect to
clause (iv) only, 75% of the shares of the Series A1 Preferred Stock then
outstanding) (with shares held by the Company or any of its Affiliates not being
considered to be outstanding for this purpose) voting or consenting, as the case
may be, as one class:

                  (i) amend or otherwise alter this Certificate of Designation
         in any manner that adversely affects the absolute or relative rights,
         powers, preferences, privileges or voting rights given to the Series A1
         Preferred Stock;

                  (ii) amend or otherwise alter the Articles of Incorporation,
         bylaws or other charter documents of the Company so as to affect
         adversely the absolute or relative powers, preferences or rights of the
         Series A1 Preferred Stock;

                  (iii) increase or decrease (other than by redemption or
         conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series A1
         Preferred Stock;

                  (iv) sell all or substantially all of its assets;

                  (v) avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of
         any of the terms to be observed or performed by the Company under this
         Certificate of Designation; or

                  (vi) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.

         5. CONVERSION.

            a. OPTIONAL CONVERSION. Each share of Series A1 Preferred Stock
shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder thereof, at any time after
Original Issue Date, into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of
Common Stock as is determined by the quotient of (i) the Stated Value over (ii)
the per share Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion, determined
as hereinafter provided. The initial per share Conversion Price shall be $13.00,
subject to adjustment from time to time as provided herein (the "CONVERSION
PRICE").

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

            b. AUTOMATIC CONVERSION.

                  (i) Upon the completion of a QPO, all shares of Series A1
         Preferred Stock then outstanding shall, by virtue of and simultaneously
         with such QPO and without any action on the part of the Holders or the
         Company, be automatically converted into that number of fully paid and
         non-assessable shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series
         A1 Preferred Stock would have been convertible in the event of an
         optional conversion at such time pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof.

                  (ii) Following the one-year anniversary of the date that
         Securities and Exchange Commission declares effective the Initial
         Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
         Agreement), if the Per Share Market Value exceeds 200% of the then
         effective Conversion Price for a period of twenty (20) consecutive
         Trading Days (the "TRIGGERING EVENT") all shares of Series A1 Preferred
         Stock then outstanding shall, by virtue of and simultaneously with such
         Triggering Event and without any action on the part of the Holders or
         the Company, be automatically converted into that number of fully paid
         and non-assessable shares of Common Stock into which such shares of
         Series A1 Preferred Stock would have been convertible in the event of
         an optional conversion at such time pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof;
         PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such Triggering Event shall not trigger the
         automatic conversion of the Series A1 Preferred Stock into Common Stock
         unless (i) (a) any Registration Statement required to be filed and be
         effective pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is then in
         effect and has been in effect and sales of all of the Underlying Shares
         can be made thereunder for at least five (5) Business Days prior to the
         Triggering Event or (b) the Underlying Shares are able to be sold
         without registration pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the
         Exchange Act, (ii) the Company has a sufficient number of authorized
         shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon full conversion of
         the Series A1 Preferred Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price
         and (iii) the Company is not then in breach of Section 5(c) hereof.

            c. MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. A Holder shall effect conversions by
surrendering to the Company, or to the Company's transfer agent, the certificate
or certificates representing the shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock to be
converted, together with a copy of the form of conversion notice attached hereto
as EXHIBIT A (the "CONVERSION NOTICE"). Each Conversion Notice shall specify the
Holder, the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of
Common Stock are to be issued, the number of shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock
to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which
date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers such Conversion Notice by
facsimile (the "CONVERSION DATE"). If no Conversion Date is specified in a
Conversion Notice, the Conversion Date shall be the date that the Conversion
Notice is deemed delivered pursuant to Section 11. The Company shall, within
three (3) Trading Days after the receipt of the Conversion Notice, cause to be
delivered to the Holder, or to such Holder's nominee or nominees, (i) a
certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends and
trading restrictions (other than those required pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement or otherwise required by law) representing the number of shares of
Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series A1 Preferred
Stock and (ii) if the Holder is converting less than all the shares of Series A1
Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates tendered by the
Holder with the

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

Conversion Notice, one or more certificates representing the number of shares of
Series A1 Preferred Stock not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of
Common Stock as of the Conversion Date. Upon request of the Holder, and in
compliance with the provisions hereof, in lieu of physical delivery of the
shares of Common Stock, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating
in the Depositary Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer
(FAST) program, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer
agent to electronically transmit any certificate or certificates required to be
delivered to the Holder (or the Holder's nominee) under this Section 5 by
crediting the account of the Holder's (or the Holder's nominee's) Prime Broker
with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. The time period
for delivery described herein shall apply to any such electronic transmittals.
If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates are not
delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the tenth (10th) Trading
Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled at any time on or
before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter to rescind
such conversion by written notice to the Company, in which event the Company
shall immediately return the certificates representing the shares of Series A1
Preferred Stock for which Common Stock was not delivered pursuant to such
conversion.

            d. FAILURE TO CONVERT. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder
(or to the Holder's nominee) such certificate or certificates pursuant to this
Section 5 on or prior to the seventh (7th) Trading Day after the Conversion Date
(the "DELIVERY DATE"), in addition to all other remedies that such Holder may
pursue hereunder or under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall pay to such
Holder upon demand an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the number of
shares of Common Stock required to be issued upon conversion of such shares of
Series A1 Preferred Stock, (b) the Per Share Market Value on the Conversion
Date, (c) the number of days after the three (3) Trading Day period referred to
in Section 5(c) that the Company fails to deliver such certificates and (d)
 .005. For the avoidance of doubt, no Holder shall be entitled to any such
payment if the Company delivers to such Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the total number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon
conversion of such shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock prior to the Delivery
Date.

         6. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company covenants that it will at all
times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common
Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A1
Preferred Stock and free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent
purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of Series A1 Preferred Stock,
not less than 100% of such number of shares of Common Stock as shall (subject to
any additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such shares set
forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the
adjustments of Section 7 hereof) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares
of Series A1 Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion).
The Company shall, from time to time in accordance with Florida law, take all
steps necessary to increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any
time the authorized number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued shall
not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of the Series A1
Preferred Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that
shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued and
fully paid, nonassessable and, subsequent to the effectiveness of the Initial
Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

Agreement) and other than any restrictions that may be imposed thereon by the
Holder thereof, freely tradable.

         7. ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE.

            a. COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS; COMMON STOCK SPLITS; RECLASSIFICATION. If
the Company, at any time after the Original Issue Date (i) shall pay or make a
stock dividend on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) issue
by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of Common Stock of the
Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision or re-classification.

            b. RIGHTS; WARRANTS. If the Company, at any time after the Original
Issue Date, shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options,
warrants or other securities to the holders of its Common Stock entitling them
to subscribe for or purchase, exchange for, convert into or otherwise acquire
shares of Common Stock, or any stock or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock, for no consideration or for a price per share
less than the Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by
a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale plus the number of shares
of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company would
purchase at the Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance
or sale plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription, purchase, conversion, exchange or acquisition, as the case may be.
Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options, warrants or other
securities are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights,
options, warrants or other securities.

            c. SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS. If the Company, at any time after the
Original Issue Date, shall fix a record date for the distribution to holders of
Common Stock evidence of its indebtedness or assets or rights, options, warrants
or other securities entitling them to subscribe for or purchase, convert into,
exchange for or otherwise acquire any security (excluding those referred to in
Sections 7(a) and (b) hereof), then in each such case the Conversion Price at
which the Series A1 Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible shall be
determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Conversion
Price on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of
the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable
to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors
in good faith, and the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Price as of
such record date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event of a distribution
exceeding ten percent (10%) of the net assets of the

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

Company, such fair market value shall be determined by an Appraiser selected in
good faith by the Holders of the Series A1 Preferred Stock; and PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that the Company, after receipt of the determination by such Appraiser,
shall have the right to select in good faith an additional Appraiser meeting the
same qualifications, in which case the fair market value shall be equal to the
average of the determinations by each such Appraiser. Such adjustment shall be
made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
immediately after the record date mentioned above.

            d. RECORD DATE. If the Company takes a record of the holders of
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in Common Stock, rights, options, warrants or other
securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, rights, options,
warrants or other securities, then, for the purposes of this Section 7, such
record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of
Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such
dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of
such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

            e. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted
pursuant to this Section 7 the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holders a
notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting
forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Such notice
shall be signed by the chairman, president or chief financial officer of the
Company.

            f. ADJUSTMENT FOR RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE AND SUBSTITUTION. If at
any time after the Original Issue Date the Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of the Series A1 Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a
different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by
recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision of its
Common Stock or dividend on it shares of Common Stock paid in shares of Common
Stock, and other than a reorganization, merger or consolidation provided for
elsewhere in this Section 7), in any such event each Holder of Series A1
Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the
kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable in
connection with such recapitalization, reclassification or other change with
respect to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares
of Series A1 Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such
recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustments
as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the
terms thereof.

            g. REORGANIZATIONS, MERGERS OR CONSOLIDATIONS. If at any time after
the Original Issue Date the Common Stock is converted into other securities or
property, whether pursuant to a reorganization, merger, consolidation or
otherwise (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, reclassification,
exchange or substitution of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 7), as
a part of such transaction, provision shall be made so that the Holders of the
Series A1 Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon
conversion thereof the number of shares of stock or other securities or property
to which a holder of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable
upon conversion would have been entitled in connection with such

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

transaction, subject to adjustment in respect of such stock or securities by the
terms thereof. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
application of the provisions of this Section 7 with respect to the rights of
the Holders Series A1 Preferred Stock after such transaction to the end that the
provisions of this Section 7 (including adjustment of the Series A1 Conversion
Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the
Series A1 Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly
equivalent as practicable. The Company shall not be a party to any
reorganization, merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the
surviving entity unless the entity surviving such transaction assumes all of the
Company's obligations hereunder.

            h. ISSUANCES BELOW CONVERSION PRICE. If the Company, at any time
when any shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock are outstanding, takes any of the
actions described in this Section 7(h), the majority of the Holders shall have
the right to amend this Certificate of Designation as set forth below:

                  (i) issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any
         Common Stock (other than Excluded Securities);

                  (ii) in any manner grants, issues or sells any rights,
         options, warrants, options to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock
         or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for
         Common Stock (other than any Excluded Securities) (such rights, options
         or warrants being herein called "OPTIONS" and such convertible or
         exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "CONVERTIBLE
         SECURITIES"); or

                  (iii) in any manner issues or sells any Convertible
         Securities;

for (a) with respect to paragraph (h)(i), above, a price per share, or (b) with
respect to paragraphs h(ii) or h(iii), above, a price per share for which Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange
of such Convertible Securities is, less than the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then, immediately after such
issuance, sale or grant, the majority of the Holders shall have the right to
amend the issuance terms of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock (including adjustment of the Conversion
Price) so that the issuance terms hereof are equivalent to the issuance terms of
such offering. No modification of the issuance terms shall be made upon the
actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Options
or Convertible Securities. If there is a change at any time in (i) the exercise
price provided for in any Options, (ii) the additional consideration, if any,
payable upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities
or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock, then immediately after such change the Holders
shall have the right to amend the issuance terms of such Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock accordingly,
including, without limitation, by reducing the Conversion Price in effect to the
Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options
or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed exercise
price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be,
at the time initially granted, issued or sold; provided that no

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the
Conversion Price then in effect.

            i. EFFECT ON CONVERSION PRICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Section 7(h), the following
shall be applicable:

                  (i) CALCULATION OF CONSIDERATION RECEIVED. If any Common
         Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed
         to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received
         therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company
         therefor, without deducting any expenses paid or incurred by the
         Company or any commissions or compensations paid or concessions or
         discounts allowed to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar
         services in connection with such issue or sale. In case any Common
         Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
         consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other
         than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such
         consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities
         listed or quoted on a National Market, in which case the amount of
         consideration received by the Company will be the arithmetic average of
         the closing sale price of such security for the five (5) consecutive
         Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt thereof. In case
         any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the
         owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in
         which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration
         therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net
         assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to
         such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may
         be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities
         listed or quoted on a National Market will be determined jointly by the
         Company and the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series A1
         Preferred Stock then outstanding. If such parties are unable to reach
         agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event
         requiring valuation (the "VALUATION EVENT"), the fair value of such
         consideration will be determined within forty-eight (48) hours of the
         tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an Appraiser selected
         in good faith by the Company, and agreed upon in good faith by the
         Holders of a majority of the shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock then
         outstanding. The determination of such Appraiser shall be binding upon
         all parties absent manifest error.

                  (ii) INTEGRATED TRANSACTIONS. In case any Option is issued in
         connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company,
         together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
         consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto the
         aggregate consideration of the Options shall be determined by an
         Appraiser selected mutually, in good faith, by the Holders of a
         majority in interest of the shares of the Series A1 Preferred Stock and
         the Company.

            j. NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. If:

                  (i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
         distribution) on its Common Stock;

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

                  (ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash
         dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock;

                  (iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders
         of its Common Stock rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or
         purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights;

                  (iv) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be
         required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock or
         any Change of Control Transaction; or

                  (v) the Company shall authorize the Liquidation of the affairs
         of the Company;

then the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holders at the address
specified herein, at least 15 (fifteen) calendar days prior to the applicable
record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice (provided such notice
shall not include any material non-public information) stating (a) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
redemption, or granting of options, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights, options or
warrants are to be determined or (b) the date on which such reclassification,
Liquidation or Change of Control Transaction is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of Common
Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities,
cash or other property deliverable in connection with such reclassification or
Change of Control Transaction. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Holders from
converting shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock held by such Holder during the
15-day period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the
event triggering such notice.

            k. ADJUSTMENT IN THE NUMBER OF SHARES. For the avoidance of doubt,
upon each adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to any provision of this
Section 7 the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder shall be
adjusted, to the nearest 1/100th of a whole share, to the product obtained by
multiplying such number of shares purchasable immediately prior to such
adjustment in the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the Conversion Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator
of which shall be the Conversion Price immediately thereafter.

            l. ROUNDING. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to
the nearest cent or the nearest l/l00th of a share, as the case may be.

            m. INCREASE OF CONVERSION PRICE. In the event that (i) each of the
conditions set forth in Section 4.2(b) of the Purchase Agreement have been
satisfied or waived by the Holders, (ii) the documents and certificates set
forth in Section 4.2(c) of the Purchase Agreement have been delivered or the
delivery thereof has been waived by the Holders and (iii) the Holders fail to
consummate the Second Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), then the
Conversion Price shall be increased to $16.00 per share (subject to stock
splits, reclassifications and other similar transactions).

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

            n. OTHER EVENTS. If the Company grants any stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features (excluding the
issuance of any Excluded Securities) that adversely affects the rights of any
holder of the Series A1 Preferred Stock occurs but is not expressly provided for
by Section 7 hereof then the Company's Board of Directors will make an
appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of
the Holders or assigns; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such adjustment will increase
the Conversion Price. In no event, other than as set forth in Section 7(m)
hereof, shall the Conversion Price be greater than the Conversion Price on the
Original Issue Date.

            o. TREASURY SHARES. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account
of the Company, if any, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall
be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock by the Company.

         8. RESTRICTION ON CONVERSION BY EITHER THE HOLDER OR THE COMPANY.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and except as provided in
Sections 5(b) and 9(b) hereof, in no event shall any Holder or the Company have
the right or be required to convert shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock if as a
result of such conversion the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such conversion. For purposes
of this Section 8, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. The provisions of this Section 8 may be
waived by a Holder as to itself (and solely as to itself) upon not less than
sixty-five (65) days prior written notice to the Company, and the provisions of
this Section 8 shall continue to apply until such 65th day (or later, if stated
in the notice of waiver).

         9. REDEMPTION. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. In case of (a) the Company's
notice to any Holder of the Series A1 Preferred Stock, including by way of
public announcement, at any time, of its intention, for any reason, not to
comply with proper requests for the conversion of any shares of Series A1
Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock or (b) the Company's refusal to
honor a duly executed Conversion Notice delivered pursuant to Section 5 hereof
(each, a "REDEMPTION EVENT") each Holder shall have the option to require the
Company to redeem, from funds legally available therefor at the time of such
redemption, its shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and
receivable upon the conversion of such Holder's Series A1 Preferred Stock at a
price (the "REDEMPTION PRICE") equal to, at the option of such Holder, (i) the
product of (A) the Per Share Market Value on the date the Redemption Event or,
at the option of the Holder, on the date immediately preceding the date of
payment in full by the Company of the Redemption Price (the "DETERMINATION
DATE"), and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series A1
Preferred Stock is convertible as of such Determination Date or (ii) the product
of (A) the Stated Value and (B) the number of shares Preferred Stock then held
by such Holder. The Company shall pay the applicable Redemption Price to the
Holder of the shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock being redeemed in cash on the
Redemption Date. If the Company shall fail to pay the applicable Redemption
Price to such Holder on the Redemption Date, in addition to any remedy such
Holder may have under this Certificate of Designation and the Purchase
Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of 1.0% per month
until paid in full.

nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages for any
failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of
Designation. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments,
conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be
received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided
herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance
thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders of the Series A1 Preferred

or threatened breach, the Holders of the Series A1 Preferred Stock shall be

drafter hereof.

         15. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part
of a Holder of Series A1 Preferred Stock in the exercise of any power, right or

partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of
Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of
any final fraction of a share based on the Per Share Market Value at such time.
If the Company elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder
of a share of Series A1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of
the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

         17. PAYMENT OF TAX UPON ISSUE OF TRANSFER. The issuance of certificates

have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid
or is not payable.

         18. SHARES OWNED BY COMPANY DEEMED NOT OUTSTANDING. In determining
whether the Holders of the outstanding shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock have
concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Certificate of
Designation, shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock which are owned by the Company
or any other obligor thereof shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; PROVIDED, that any Series
A1 Preferred Stock owned by the Holders shall be deemed outstanding for purposes
of making such a determination. Shares of the Series A1 Preferred Stock so owned
which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if (i) the
pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Holders and the Company the
pledgee's right so to act with respect to such shares and (ii) the pledgee is
not the Company or any other obligor of the Company.

         19. COMMUNICATIONS. The Holders of the Series A1 Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to receive, and the Company shall deliver pursuant to Section 11
hereof, all communications sent by the Company to the holders of the Common

certificate required in connection therewith pursuant to the Florida Business
Corporation Act), authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the
Company.

         21. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. The Company shall keep at its principal
office a register for the registration of the transfers of shares of Series A1
Preferred Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing shares of
Series A1 Preferred Stock at such place, the Company shall, at the request of
the record Holder of such certificate, execute and deliver (at the Company's
expense) a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in
the aggregate the number of shares represented by the surrendered certificate.
Each such new certificate shall be registered in such name and shall represent
such number of shares as is requested by the Holder of the surrendered
certificate and shall be substantially identical in form to the surrendered
certificate.

         22. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles
of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities or
any other voluntary action, intentionally take any action to avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or
performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist
in the carrying out of all of the provisions hereof and in the taking of all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of
the Series A1 Preferred Stock against
