                          AMERICAN PULP EXCHANGE, INC.

                        2002 CONSULTANT COMPENSATION PLAN

1.    Purpose.

      The American Pulp Exchange, Inc. 2002 Consultant Compensation Plan (the
"Plan") is intended to promote the interests of American Pulp Exchange, Inc. and
its subsidiaries (collectively the "Corporation") by offering those outside
consultants of the Corporation who assist in the development and success of the
business of the Corporation, the opportunity to participate in a compensation
plan designed to reward them for their services and to encourage them to
continue to provide services to the Corporation.

2.    Definitions.

      For all purposes of this Plan, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:

      "APE" means American Pulp Exchange, Inc., a Florida corporation.

      "Common Stock" means American Pulp Exchange, Inc. common stock, $.0025
par value per share.

      "Conditional Shares" means shares of Common Stock awarded under this Plan
subject to conditions imposed by the Committee (as defined herein) or the
conditions set forth in Section 6.2 or both.

      "Discounted Purchase Shares" means shares of Common Stock sold under this
Plan at a discount from the Common Stock's then current market price.

      "Subsidiary" means any company of which APE owns, directly or indirectly,
the majority of the combined voting power of all classes of stock.

      "Unconditional Shares" means shares of Common Stock awarded under this
Plan subject to no conditions.

3.    Administration.

      The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the "Committee") of not
less than two directors of APE selected by, and serving at the pleasure of,
APE's Board of Directors (the "APE Board").

      APE or any Subsidiary will recommend to the Committee persons to whom
shares may be awarded or may be sold at a discount. The Committee shall make all
final decisions with respect to the persons to whom awards shall be granted or
stock shall be sold at a discount ("Participants"), the number of shares that
shall be covered by each award or sale, the time or times at which awards shall
be granted or sales shall be made, the timing of when awards shall
<PAGE>
vest, the percentage from the then current market price that any shares sold
shall be discounted, the terms and provisions of the instruments by which awards
or sales shall be evidenced, the interpretation of the Plan and all
determinations necessary or advisable for its administration.

4.    Eligibility.

      Only individuals who are outside consultants, or directors, officers,
partners or employees of outside consultants, of APE or any Subsidiary shall be
granted awards or shall be permitted to purchase shares at a discount.

5.    Stock Subject to the Plan.

      The stock, which may be awarded or sold pursuant to this Plan, shall be
shares of Common Stock, including common stock issueable upon conversion of
options, warrants or other convertible securities. When shares of Common Stock
are awarded or sold, APE may award or sell authorized but unissued Common Stock,
or APE may award or sell issued Common Stock held in its treasury. Each of the
respective boards of APE and all Subsidiaries involved in the award or sale will
fund the Plan to the extent so required to provide Common Stock for the benefit
of Participants. The total number of shares of Common Stock which may be granted
or sold under this Plan shall not exceed 3,000,000 shares in the aggregate. Any
shares awarded and later forfeited are again subject to award or sale under the
Plan.

6.    Share Awards and Sales.

      6.1   Grant of Share Awards and Sale of Discounted Purchase Shares.

            The Committee may award to Participants Unconditional Shares and
Conditional Shares. The Committee will determine for each Participant selected
to be awarded Unconditional Shares or Conditional Shares the time or times when
Unconditional Shares or Conditional Shares shall be awarded and the number of
shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Unconditional Shares or Conditional
Share award. Unless expressly specified as Conditional Shares by the Committee,
all shares of Common Stock awarded under this Plan shall be Unconditional
Shares. No Unconditional Shares or Conditional Shares shall be awarded unless
APE (in the judgment of the Committee) has received from the Participant either
(a) a full performance of the services for which the Unconditional Shares or
Conditional Shares are being awarded, or (b) (i) a partial performance of the
services for which the Unconditional Shares or Conditional Shares are being
awarded and the value of such partial performance (in the judgment of the
Committee) equals or exceeds the aggregate par value of the Unconditional Shares
or Conditional Shares to be awarded and (ii) a binding obligation from the
Participant to provide in the future the remainder of the services for which the
Unconditional Shares or Conditional Shares are being awarded. In addition to
awarding Unconditional Shares and Conditional Shares, the Committee may sell to
Participants Discounted Purchase Shares, for purchase prices at such discounts
from the then current market price of the Common Stock, and upon such terms and
conditions, as the Committee shall determine.

      6.2   Conditions.

            Shares of Common Stock issued to a Participant as a Conditional
Shares award will be subject to the following conditions as well as all other
conditions imposed by the Committee ("Share Conditions"):

            (a) Except as set forth in Paragraphs 6.4 and 6.5, if Share
Conditions are not satisfied, Conditional Shares will be forfeited and returned
to APE or, in the event such Conditional Shares were provided to the Participant
from shares of Common Stock purchase by the Subsidiary, then the Conditional
Shares will be returned to the Subsidiary. In either case, all rights of the
Participant to such Conditional Shares will terminate without any payment of
consideration by APE or the Subsidiary with which the Participant is associated,
unless the Participant maintains his association with APE or a Subsidiary for
the period of time (if any) determined by the Committee.

            (b) During the condition period ("Condition Period") relating to a
Conditional Share award, none of the Conditional Shares subject to such award
may be sold, assigned, bequeathed, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant.

            (c) The Committee may require the Participant to enter into an
escrow agreement providing that the certificates representing Conditional Shares
sold or granted pursuant to the Plan will remain in the physical custody of APE
or the applicable Subsidiary or an escrow holder during the Condition Period.

            (d) Certificates representing Conditional Shares sold or granted
pursuant to the Plan may bear a legend making an appropriate reference to the
conditions imposed on the Conditional Shares.

            (e) The Committee may impose other conditions on any Conditional
Shares issued pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable, including without
limitations, restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under
the requirements of any stock exchange upon which such share or shares of the
same class are then listed and under any state securities laws or other
securities laws applicable to such shares.

      6.3   Rights of a Stockholder.

            Except as set forth in Paragraph 6.2(b), the recipient of a
Conditional Share award will have all of the rights of a stockholder of APE with
respect to the Conditional Shares, including the right to vote the Conditional
Shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions made with respect to
the Conditional Shares.

                                       3
<PAGE>
      6.4   Lapse of Conditions.

            In the event of the termination of association of a Participant
during the Condition Period by reason of death, disability, or termination of
association, the Committee may, at its discretion, remove Share Conditions on
Conditional Shares.

            Conditional Shares to which the Share Conditions have not so lapsed
will be forfeited and returned to the Corporation as provided in Paragraph
6.2(a).

      6.5   Lapse of Conditions at Discretion of the Committee.

            The Committee may shorten the Condition Period or remove any or all
Share Conditions if, in the exercise of its absolute discretion, it determines
that such action is in the best interests of the Corporation and equitable to
the Participant.

      6.6   Listing and Registration of Shares.

            APE may, in its reasonable discretion, postpone the issuance and/or
delivery of any shares of Common Stock awarded or sold pursuant to this Plan
until completion of stock exchange listing, or registration, or other
qualification of such shares under any law, rule or regulation.

      6.7   Designation of Beneficiary.

            A Participant may, with the consent of the Committee, designate a
person or persons to receive, in the event of death, any shares of Common Stock
to which such Participant would then be entitled pursuant to this Plan. Such
designation will be made upon forms supplied by and delivered to the Committee
and may be revoked in writing by the Participant. If a Participant fails
effectively to designate a beneficiary, then such Participant's estate will be
deemed to be the beneficiary.

7.    Capital Adjustments.

      The number and consideration of Common Stock covered by each award granted
or each sale under this Plan and the total number of shares that may be granted
or sold under the Plan shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect, subject to
any required action by stockholders, any stock dividend or split,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, combination
or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change.

8.    Change of Control.

      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7, in the event of a change of
control, all Share Conditions on all Conditional Shares will lapse. For purposes
of this plan, a "Change of Control" of APE shall be deemed to have occurred at
such time as (a) any "person" (as that term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), becomes the "beneficial owner" (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the foregoing act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of APE representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of APE's
outstanding

                                       4
<PAGE>
securities ordinarily having the right to vote at the election of directors; or
(b) individuals who constitute the APE Board on the date hereof (the "Incumbent
Board") cease for any reasons to constitute at least a majority thereof,
provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose
election was approved by at least a majority of the directors comprising the
Incumbent Board, or whose nomination or election was approved by a majority of
the APE Board serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be, for purposes of this
clause (b), considered as if he or she were a member of the Incumbent Board; or
(c) merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all the assets of APE
occurs, unless such merger of consolidation shall have been affirmatively
recommended to APE's stockholders by a majority of the Incumbent Board; or (d) a
proxy statement soliciting proxies from stockholders of APE, by someone other
than the current management of APE seeking stockholder approval of a plan of
reorganization, merger or consolidation of APE with one or more corporations as
a result of which the outstanding shares of APE's securities are actually
exchanged for or converted into cash or property or securities not issued by APE
unless the reorganization, merger or consolidation shall have been affirmatively
recommended to APE's stockholders by a majority of the Incumbent Board.

9.    Approvals.

      The issuance of shares pursuant to this Plan is expressly conditioned upon
obtaining all necessary approvals from all regulatory agencies from which
approval is required.

10.   Effective Date of Plan.

      The effective date of the Plan is November ___, 2002.

11.   Term and Amendment of Plan.

      This Plan shall expire on November ___, 2012 (except to Conditional Shares
outstanding on that date). The APE Board may terminate or amend the Plan in any
respect at any time, except no action of the APE Board, the Committee or APE's
stockholders, however, may, without the consent of a Participant, alter or
impair such Participant's rights under any Conditional Shares previously
granted.

12.   No Right of Association.

      Neither the action of APE in establishing this Plan, nor any action taken
by any APE Board or any Subsidiary or the Committee, nor any provision of the
Plan itself, shall be construed to limit in any way the right of APE to
terminate a Participant's association with the Corporation at any time.

13.   Withholding Taxes.

      APE or any Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have the right to deduct
withholding taxes from any payments made pursuant to the Plan or to make such
other provisions as it deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy its obligations
to withhold federal, state or local income or other taxes incurred by reason of
payment or the issuance of Common Stock under the Plan.

                                       5
<PAGE>
Whenever under the Plan, Common Stock is to be delivered upon vesting of
Conditional Shares, the Committee shall be entitled to require as a condition of
delivery that the Participant remit or provide for the withholding of an amount
sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and other government withholding tax
requirements related thereto.

14.   Plan not a Trust.

      Nothing contained in the Plan and no action taken pursuant to the Plan
shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary
relationship, between the Corporation and any Participant, the executor,
administrator or other personal representative, or designated beneficiary of
such Participant, or any other persons. If and to the extent that any
Participant or such Participant's executor, administrator or other personal
representative, as the case may be, acquires a right to receive any payment from
the Corporation pursuant to the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the
right of an unsecured general creditor of the Corporation.

15.   Notices.

      Each Participant shall be responsible for furnishing the Committee with
the current and proper address for the mailing of notices and delivery of Common
Stock pursuant to the Plan. Any notices required or permitted to be given shall
be deemed given if addressed to the person to be notified at such address given
to the Committee by such person and mailed by regular United States mail,
first-class and prepaid. If any item mailed to such address is returned as
undeliverable to the addressee, mailing will be suspended until the Participant
furnishes the proper address. This provision shall not be construed as requiring
the mailing of any notice or notification if such notice is not required under
the terms of the Plan or any applicable law.

16.   Severability of Provisions.

      If any provisions of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable,
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions
hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had
not been included.

17.   Payment to Minors, etc.

      Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent
person or other person incapable of receipting therefore shall be deemed paid
when paid to such person's guardian or the party providing or reasonably
appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment shall fully
discharge the Committee, the APE Board, the Corporation and other parties with
respect thereto.

18.   Headings and Captions.

      The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and
convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be
employed in the construction of the Plan.

                                       6

19.   Controlling Law.

      This Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the
State of Florida to the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall
otherwise control.

20.   Enforcement of Rights.

      In the event the Corporation or a Participant is required to bring any
action to enforce the terms of this Plan, the prevailing party shall be
reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for all costs and fees, including actual
attorney fees, for bringing and pursuing such action.

(but in the case of any such amendment or interpretation, only to the extent
that such amendment or interpretation permits the Company to provide broader
indemnification rights than were permitted prior thereto). The parties hereto
intend that this Agreement shall provide for indemnification in excess of that
expressly permitted by statute, including, without limitation, any
indemnification provided by the Company's articles of incorporation, its bylaws,
a vote of its shareholders or disinterested directors, or applicable law.

      B.    Initiation of Proceeding.  Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement in connection with any proceeding
initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or any director or officer of the
Company unless:

            (i)   the Company has joined in or the Board has consented to the
                  initiation of such proceeding;

            (ii)  the proceeding is one to enforce indemnification rights
                  under Section 5; or

            (iii) the proceeding is instituted after a Change in Control and
                  Independent Counsel has approved its initiation.

      C. Expense Advances. If so requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall,
within 10 business days after such request, advance all Expenses to Indemnitee
(an "Expense Advance"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the
Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so
indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed
by Indemnitee for all such amounts, and Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse
the Company promptly for the same. If Indemnitee has commenced legal proceedings
in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee
should be indemnified under applicable law, as provided in Section 4, any
determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted
to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding, and Indemnitee
shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a
final judicial determination is made with respect thereto and all rights of
appeal therefrom have been exhausted or have lapsed. Indemnitee's obligation to
reimburse the Company for Expense Advances shall be unsecured, and no interest
shall be charged thereon.

      D. Mandatory Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits in
defense of any proceeding relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable Event
or in defense of any issue or

                                       4
<PAGE>
matter in such proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses
incurred in connection therewith.

      E.    Partial Indemnification.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion
of Expenses, but not for the total amount of Expenses, the Company shall
indemnify Indemnitee for the portion to which Indemnitee is entitled.

      F. Prohibited Indemnification. No indemnification under this Agreement
shall be paid by the Company on account of any proceeding in which judgment is
rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase
or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company under section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act, or similar provisions of any federal, state, or local laws.

Section 3.  REVIEWING PARTY.

      Before any Change in Control occurs the Reviewing Party shall be any
appropriate Person or body consisting of a member or members of the Board or any
other Person or body appointed by the Board who is not a party to the proceeding
for which Indemnitee is seeking indemnification; after a Change in Control, the
Reviewing Party shall be the Independent Counsel. On all matters arising after a
Change in Control (other than a Change in Control approved by a majority of the
directors of the Board who were directors immediately before such Change in
Control) concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and Expense
Advances under this Agreement, any other agreement, applicable law, or the
Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws now or hereafter in effect
relating to indemnification for Indemnifiable Events, the Company shall seek
legal advice only from Independent Counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved
by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and who has
not otherwise performed services for the Company or the Indemnitee (other than
in connection with indemnification matters) within the last five years. The
Independent Counsel shall not include any Person who, under the applicable
standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of
interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to
determine Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement. Such counsel, among other
things, shall render a written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee on whether
and to what extent Indemnitee should be permitted to be indemnified under
applicable law. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent
Counsel and to indemnify fully such counsel against any and all Expenses,
including attorney fees, claims, liabilities, loss, and damages arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the engagement of Independent Counsel under
this Agreement.

Section 4.  INDEMNIFICATION PROCESS AND APPEAL.

      A. Indemnification Payment. Indemnitee shall receive indemnification of
Expenses from the Company in accordance with this Agreement as soon as
practicable after Indemnitee has made written demand on the Company for
indemnification, unless the Reviewing Party has given a written opinion to the
Company that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this

                                       5
<PAGE>
Agreement or applicable law.

      B. Suit To Enforce Rights. Regardless of any action by the Reviewing
Party, if Indemnitee has not received full indemnification within 30 days after
making a demand in accordance with Section 4(a), Indemnitee shall have the right
to enforce its indemnification rights under this Agreement by commencing
litigation in any court in the State of Florida seeking an initial determination
by the court or challenging any determination by the Reviewing Party or any
aspect thereof. The Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear
in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing Party not challenged
by Indemnitee shall be binding on the Company and Indemnitee. The remedy
provided for in this Section 4 shall be in addition to any other remedies
available to Indemnitee in law or equity.

      C. Defense to Indemnification, Burden of Proof, and Presumptions. It shall
be a defense to any action brought by Indemnitee against the Company to enforce
this Agreement (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Expenses
incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition when the
required undertaking has been tendered to the Company) that it is not
permissible, under this Agreement or applicable law, for the Company to
indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed. In connection with any such action
or any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise on whether Indemnitee
is entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement, the burden of proving such a
defense or determination shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the
Reviewing Party or the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel,
or its shareholders) to have made a determination before the commencement of
such action by Indemnitee that indemnification is proper under the circumstances
because the Indemnitee has met the standard of conduct set forth in applicable
law, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party or the Company
(including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that
Indemnitee had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense
to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the
applicable standard of conduct. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination
of any claim, action, suit, or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement
(whether with or without court approval), conviction, or on a plea of nolo
contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee
did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or
that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable
law.

Section 5.  INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES INCURRED IN ENFORCING RIGHTS.

      The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses. If
requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall, within 10 business days after such
request, advance to Indemnitee such Expenses as are incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with any claim asserted against or action brought by Indemnitee for:

      A.    Indemnification of Expenses or advances of Expenses by the
Company under this Agreement, or any other agreement, or under applicable
law, or the Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws now or hereafter in
effect relating to indemnification for Indemnifiable Events, and/or

                                        6
<PAGE>
      B.    Recovery under directors' and officers' liability insurance
policies maintained by the Company, for amounts paid in settlement if the
Independent Counsel has approved the settlement.

      The Company shall not settle any proceeding in any manner that would
impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee's written
consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold its
consent to any proposed settlement. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify
Indemnitee under this Agreement with regard to any judicial award if the Company
was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its Expense, to
participate in the defense of such action; however, the Company's liability
under this Agreement shall not be excused if participation in the proceeding by
the Company was barred by this Agreement.

Section 6.  ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST.

      In the event of a Change in Control or a potential Change in Control, the
Company shall, on written request by Indemnitee, create a trust for the benefit
of Indemnitee ("the Trust") and from time to time on written request of
Indemnitee shall fund the Trust in an amount sufficient to satisfy any and all
Expenses reasonably anticipated at the time of each such request to be incurred
in connection with investigating, preparing for, participating in, and/or
defending any proceeding relating to an Indemnifiable Event. The amount or
amounts to be deposited in the Trust under the foregoing funding obligation
shall be determined by the Reviewing Party. The terms of the Trust shall provide
that on a Change in Control:

      (a) The Trust shall not be revoked or the principal invaded without the
written consent of Indemnitee.

      (b) The Trustee shall be chosen by Indemnitee subject to approval by the
Company. The Trustee shall advance, within 10 business days after a request by
Indemnitee, all Expenses to the Indemnitee (provided that Indemnitee hereby
agrees to reimburse the Trust under the same circumstances for which Indemnitee
would be required to reimburse the Company under Section 2(c) of this
Agreement).

      (c) The Trust shall continue to be funded by the Company in accordance
with the funding obligation set forth in this Section 6.

      (d) The Trustee shall promptly pay to Indemnitee all amounts for which
Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or
otherwise.

      (e) All unexpended funds in the Trust shall revert to the Company on a
final determination by the Reviewing Party or a court of competent jurisdiction
that Indemnitee has been fully indemnified under the terms of this Agreement.

      Nothing in this Section 6 shall relieve the Company of any of its
obligations under this

                                       7
<PAGE>
Agreement. All income earned on the assets held in the Trust shall be reported
as income by the Company for federal, state, local, and foreign tax purposes.
The Company shall pay all costs of establishing and maintaining the Trust and
shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all Expenses, including attorney
fees, claims, liabilities, losses, and damages arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or the establishment and maintenance of the Trust.

Section 7.  NON-EXCLUSIVITY.

      The rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement shall be in addition to any
other rights Indemnitee may have under the Company's articles of incorporation,
bylaws, applicable law, or otherwise. To the extent that a change in applicable
law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by
agreement than would be afforded currently under the Company's articles of
incorporation, bylaws, applicable law, or this Agreement, it is the intent of
the parties that Indemnitee enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits
afforded by such change.

Section 8.  LIABILITY INSURANCE.

      To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies
providing directors' and officers' liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be
covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to
the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Company director or
officer.

Section 9.  PERIOD OF LIMITATIONS.

      No legal action shall be brought, and no cause of action shall be
asserted, by or on behalf of the Company or any affiliate of the Company against
Indemnitee, Indemnitee's spouse, heirs, executors, or Personal or legal
representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of
such cause of action, or such longer period as may be required by state law
under the circumstances. Any claim or cause of action of the Company or its
affiliate shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the
timely filing of a legal action within such period; provided, however, that if
any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of
action, the shorter period shall govern.

Section 10. AMENDMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

      No supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be
binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of
any of the provisions of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other
provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a
continuing waiver. Except as specifically provided herein, no failure to
exercise or any delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall
constitute a waiver thereof.

Section 11. SUBROGATION.

      In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be
subrogated to the

                                       8
<PAGE>
extent of such payment to all rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall
execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to
secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to
enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

Section 12. NO DUPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.

      The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment
in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee
has otherwise received payment (under any insurance policy, bylaw, or otherwise)
of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable under this Agreement.

Section 13. BINDING EFFECT.

      This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any
direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company), assigns,
spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall
require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial
part of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. The
indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue for Indemnitee for
any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified capacity
pertaining to an Indemnifiable Event even though Indemnitee may have ceased to
serve in such capacity at the time of any proceeding.

Section 14. SEVERABILITY.

      If any portion of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining
provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, each portion of this Agreement containing any
provision held to be invalid, void, or otherwise unenforceable, that is not
itself invalid, void, or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect
to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, void, or unenforceable.

Section 15. GOVERNING LAW.

      This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Florida applicable to contracts made
and to be performed in such State without giving effect to the principles of
conflicts of laws.

Section 16. NOTICES.
