                           MOBILE AMERICA CORPORATION

                       NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
               UNDER THE MOBILE AMERICA CORPORATION INCENTIVE PLAN
                              Non-Employee Director

             THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of this _____ day of
   ____________, 1998, by and between MOBILE AMERICA CORPORATION, a Florida
   corporation (the "Company"), and _________________, a director of the
   Company (the "Optionee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H :

             WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Mobile America Corporation
   Incentive Plan (the "Plan") which provides for the grant of stock options
   to key employees and non-employee directors of the Company;

             WHEREAS, the Director Grant Committee (as defined in the Plan)
   has approved the grant of stock options to purchase shares of the
   Company's common stock, $.0025 par value (the "Common Stock"), to the
   Optionee;

             WHEREAS, the option granted under this Agreement is not intended
   to constitute an incentive stock option ("Nonqualified Stock Option"), as
   defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
   (the "Code");

             NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the
   covenants and agreements herein set forth, the parties hereby mutually
   covenant and agree as follows:

             1.   Grant.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
   Agreement and the Plan, the Company confirms the grant to the Optionee of
   a Nonqualified Stock Option to purchase from the Company all, or any part,
   of the aggregate number of ________ shares of Common Stock (hereinafter
   referred to as the "Optioned Shares," and the option to purchase the
   Optioned Shares referred to as the "Option").

             2.   Option Price.  The price to be paid for the Optioned Shares
   shall be $_____ per share which is an amount not less than 100% of the
   fair market value on the date the option was granted to Optionee.

             3.   Time of Exercise.  The Option is fully exercisable and may
   be exercised by the Optionee in whole or in part at any time and from time
   to time, after the date hereof prior to its expiration as provided in
   Section 7 of this Agreement.

             4.   Manner of Exercise and Payment.  The Option may be
   exercised only by written notice to the Company by the Optionee of the
   Optionee's intent to exercise the Option, delivered to the Company at its
   principal office, specifying the number of shares with respect to which
   the Option is being exercised, accompanied by full payment for such
   shares:  (a) in cash or its equivalent; (b) with the consent of the
   Director Grant Committee, by tendering shares of Common Stock valued at
   their fair market value at the time of exercise; or (c) with the consent
   of the Director Grant Committee, by any combination of (a) and (b).

             5.   Issuance of Stock Certificates.  Upon satisfaction of the
   conditions of Section 4, the Company shall promptly deliver to the
   Optionee a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common
   Stock in respect of which Options have been exercised, legended to reflect
   the agreements and conditions applicable to such shares referred to in
   Section 10.

             6.   Nontransferability of Option.  The Option is not
   transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent
   and distribution.

             7.   Term.  The Option shall expire on August 22, 2007, and
   shall not be exercisable thereafter.

             8.   Tax Withholding.

                  (a)  It shall be a condition of the obligation of the
   Company to issue or transfer shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the
   Option, that the Optionee shall pay to the Company upon its demand, or
   agree that the Company may withhold from compensation due the Optionee,
   such amount as may be requested by the Company for the purpose of
   satisfying its liability to withhold federal, state or local income or
   other taxes incurred by reason of the exercise of the Option.  If the
   Optionee fails to comply with this Section 8, the Company may refuse to
   issue or transfer shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Option.

                  (b)  With the consent of the Director Grant Committee, the
   Optionee may elect to have the Company withhold that number of Optioned
   Shares otherwise issuable to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option or
   to deliver to the Company a number of Shares, in each case, having a fair
   market value at the time of exercise, as determined by the Board, equal to
   the minimum amount required to be withheld as a result of such exercise. 
   The election must be made in writing and delivered to the Company on or
   prior to the date of exercise.  The shares so withheld or delivered shall
   be free of all adverse claims and shall be endorsed in blank by the
   Optionee or accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank.

             9.   Capital Adjustments Affecting Stock.  In the event of a
   capital adjustment resulting from a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off,
   reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reclassification,
   combination or exchange of shares, the Optioned Shares shall be adjusted
   in a manner consistent with such capital adjustment.  The price of any
   shares under the Option shall be adjusted such that there will be no
   change in the aggregate purchase price payable upon exercise of the
   Option.  To the extent deemed equitable and appropriate by the Board,
   subject to any required action by shareholders, in any merger,
   consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution, the Option
   shall pertain to the securities and other property to which a holder of
   the number of shares of stock covered by the Option would have been
   entitled to receive in connection with any such event.

             10.  Restriction on Transfer of Common Stock.  The shares to be
   acquired upon exercise of the Option may not be sold or offered for sale
   except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
   Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or any applicable state
   securities laws, (ii) in a transaction satisfying the requirements of Rule
   144 promulgated under the Act, or (iii) in a transaction which, in the
   opinion of counsel for the Company, is exempt from the registration
   provisions of the Act or applicable state securities laws.  The Optionee
   agrees that any certificate representing shares acquired upon exercise of
   the Option may bear the following legend:

             The shares of Common Stock represented by this certificate
             are restricted securities as that term is defined under
             Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
             amended (the "Act").  These shares may not be sold,
             transferred or disposed of unless they are registered under
             the Act, sold in a transaction satisfying the requirements
             of Rule 144 or unless the request to transfer is
             accompanied by an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
             issuer, that the transfer will not result in a violation of
             the Act or any applicable state securities laws.

             11.  Specific Restrictions Upon Optioned Shares.  The Optionee
   hereby agrees with the Company that the Optionee shall acquire the
   Optioned Shares for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale
   or other distribution thereof to the public in violation of the Act, and
   shall not dispose of the Optioned Shares in any transaction which, in the
   opinion of counsel to the Company, would violate the Act, or the rules and
   regulations thereunder, or any applicable state securities or blue sky
   laws.

             12.  Rights as Shareholder.  The Optionee shall not be deemed
   for any purposes to be a shareholder of the Company with respect to any of
   the Optioned Shares except to the extent that the Option shall have been
   exercised, such shares shall have been fully paid, and a stock certificate
   issued therefor.

             13.  Power of Company Not Affected.  The existence of the Option
   shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its
   shareholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
   recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's
   capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the
   Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference
   stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or
   dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all
   or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or
   proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

             14.  Interpretation by the Board.  As a condition of the
   granting of the Option, Optionee agrees, for himself and his successors,
   that this Agreement shall be interpreted by the Director Grant Committee
   and that any interpretation by the Director Grant Committee shall be
   final.

             15.  Incorporation by Reference.  The terms of the Plan to the
   extent not stated herein are expressly incorporated herein by reference
   and in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the
   Plan shall govern.

             16.  Amendment or Modification.  No term or provision of this
   Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented orally, but only by an
   instrument in writing signed by the party against which or whom the
   enforcement of the amendment, modification or supplement is sought.

             17.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the
   internal laws of the State of Florida as to all matters, including but not
   limited to matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and
   remedies.

             18.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement entered into between the
   Optionee and the Company sets forth the entire agreement of the parties
   hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes
   all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications,
   representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer,
   employee or representative of any party hereto; and any prior agreement of
   the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein is
   hereby terminated and canceled.

             19.  Delegation by Board.  Except to the extent prohibited by
   applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange or market, the
   Board may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers
   to any one or more of its members.  Any such delegation may be revoked by
   the Board at any time.

             20.  Heirs and Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding
   upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and
   assigns, and upon any person acquiring all or substantially all of the
   Company's assets and business.  In the event of the Optionee's death prior
   to exercise of the Option, the Option may be exercised by the estate of
   the Optionee to the extent such exercise is otherwise permitted by this
   Agreement.

             IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be
   executed by its duly authorized officer, and the Optionee has executed
   this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
