1.1    Sale and Purchase of Company and Shareholders' Interests. Shareholders
       hereby agree to sell and transfer to ALG all of the Shareholders'
       interests in the Company and ALG hereby agrees to purchase from the

<PAGE>

       Closing (as hereinafter described) which shall take place on or before
       October 3, 2000. Of the 450,000 Whitehall shares, Whitehall guarantees
       that two hundred twenty five thousand (225,000) of those Whitehall shares
       will have a value twelve (12) months from the Closing Date (as set forth
       in Section 1.4 herein) of two hundred twenty five thousand dollars
       ($225,000.00) (the "Guaranteed Shares"). In the event the Guaranteed
       Shares are valued at less than $225,000.00 twelve months from the Closing
       Date, Whitehall agrees to issue additional Whitehall shares (the
       "Additional Shares") to Weaver to make up the difference between the
       then-existing value of the Guaranteed Shares and the target value of
       $225,000.00 worth of Whitehall shares. The value of the Additional Shares
       will be determined as the value of the Additional Shares at the close of
       the OTCBB on the twelve month anniversary date of the Closing Date, which
       is October 3, 2001, or the next date the OTCBB is operating if the twelve
       month anniversary date falls on a weekend or holiday. Those Additional
       Shares shall be free-trading shares as of the twelve month anniversary
       date of the Closing Date. As additional consideration, ALG agrees to
       retain Weaver as a consultant to be paid an annual salary of one dollar
       ($1.00). ALG also agrees that so long as Weaver is not specifically
       excluded from coverage by any insurer, ALG shall keep Weaver insured
       under any existing health/dental plan of the Company through December
       31,2001 and shall pay all premiums therefore.

1.3    Distribution of Whitehall Shares to Beasley. Whitehall agrees, in
       consideration of the sale and transfer of the Shareholders interests to
       ALG, to issue to Beasley four hundred fifty thousand (450,000) shares of
       the common stock of Whitehall (the "Whitehall shares") at the Closing (as
       hereinafter described) which shall take place on or before October 3,
       2000. Of the 450,000 Whitehall shares, Whitehall guarantees that two
       hundred twenty five thousand (225,000) of those Whitehall shares will
       have a value twelve (12) months from the Closing Date (as set forth in
       Section 1.4 herein) of two hundred twenty five thousand dollars
       ($225,000.00) (the "Guaranteed Shares"). In the event the Guaranteed
       Shares are valued at less than $225,000.00 twelve months from the Closing
       Date, Whitehall agrees to issue additional Whitehall shares (the "
       Additional Shares") to Beasley to make up the difference between the
       then-existing value of the Guaranteed Shares and the target value
       of$225,000.00 worth of Whitehall shares. The value of the Additional
       Shares will be determined as the value of the Additional Shares at the
       close of the OTCBB on the twelve month anniversary date of the Closing
       Date, which is October 3, 2001, or the next date the OTCBB is operating
       if the twelve month anniversary date falls on a weekend or holiday. Those
       Additional Shares shall be free-trading shares as of the twelve month
       anniversary date of the Closing Date.

1.4    Other Agreements. In addition to the consideration referred to above, the
       parties respectively agree as follows:

(a)    Beasley agrees to sign the individual Employment Agreement attached
       hereto as Exhibit A.

1.5    Protected Interests of ALG. ALG recognizes, and Shareholders acknowledge,
       that Shareholders' industry experience, know-how and knowledge of the
       Company's markets, employees and their respective duties, customers,
       prospective customers, the Company's technology and the use thereof, as
       well as the administration of the Company, are valuable commodities and
       are protectable interests of ALG.

(a)    Weaver's Non-Compete. Weaver agrees that as part of this Agreement, he is
       receiving adequate consideration in exchange for his promise not to
       compete with ALG or any of its subsidiaries, including the Company, in
       the areas of mortgage and/or home improvement telemarketing, either
       directly, indirectly, through ownership, employment or by providing
       services as a consultant for three years from the Closing Date. Further,
       Weaver acknowledges that ALG does business in markets nationwide, ALG has
       a protectable interest in Shareholders' interests, and ALG would suffer
       irreparable harm if Weaver was to compete with ALG in violation


                                       2

<PAGE>

       of this Agreement. Therefore, Weaver agrees not to compete as defined
       above within any state in which ALG and/or the Company are licensed to do
       business for three years from the Closing Date.

(b)    Beasley's Non-compete. Beasley agrees that as part of this Agreement, he
       is receiving adequate consideration in exchange for his promise not to
       compete with ALG or any of its subsidiaries, including the Company,
       either directly, indirectly, through ownership, employment or by
       providing services as a consultant for a period of six years from the
       Closing Date (the "Non-compete Period"). In the event Beasley is
       dismissed from his employment with ALG for any reason or if he terminates
       his employment with ALG before five years from the Closing Date, the
       Non-compete Period shall be reduced by one year for every full year
       Beasley is employed with ALG per the terms of the Employment Agreement
       attached hereto as Exhibit A. (For example, if Beasley is terminated or
       quits his employment with ALG one year after the Closing Date, the
       Non-compete Period will be reduced to five years from the Closing Date.
       If Beasley is terminated or quits his employment with ALG two years after
       the Closing Date, the Non-compete Period will be reduced to four years
       from the Closing Date, etc.). If Beasley remains employed with ALG for
       the entire term of this Agreement, including option periods, then Beasley
       agrees not to compete with ALG for a period of one year from the date he
       is no longer employed with ALG. At no time shall the Non-compete Period
       be less than one year from the date Beasley is no longer employed with
       ALG. Further, Beasley acknowledges that ALG does business in markets
       nationwide, ALG has a protectable interest in Shareholders' interests,
       and ALG would suffer irreparable harm if Beasley was to compete with ALG
       in violation of this Agreement. Therefore, Beasley agrees not to compete
       as defined above within any state in which ALG and/or the Company are
       licensed to do business for the entire Non-compete Period as defined in
       the above-described formula.

(c)    Arizona Law Controls. Shareholders acknowledge that the non-compete and
       anti-piracy laws of Arizona shall apply to this Agreement, and
       Shareholders agree to waive any conflicts of laws in that regard. In the
       event that Beasley should terminate his employment with the Company prior
       to the conclusion of five years from the commencement of his employment,
       ALG may, at its sole election, by written notice to the parties,
       terminate this Agreement and the attached employment agreement.

1.6    Breach of Non-compete by Weaver. In the event Weaver violates the terms
       of this Section 1.5 above, Weaver agrees to reimburse ALG an amount equal
       to the value of the Whitehall shares tendered to him pursuant to Section
       1.2 above (including the Additional Shares and the Guaranteed Shares as
       defined in Section 1.2 above) on the 365th day after the Closing Date or
       the next business day if such day falls on a weekend or holiday (the
       "Valuation Date"). The value is determined as the amount at which
       Whitehall stock traded on the OTCBB at the close of trading on the
       Valuation Date. This remedy is non-exclusive, and Weaver agrees that ALG
       and/or the Company may pursue any and all other remedies available under
       Arizona statutory or common law.

       Breach of Non-compete by Beasley. In the event Beasley violates the terms
       of this Section 1.5 above, Beasley agrees to reimburse ALG an amount
       equal to the value of the Whitehall shares as defined in Section 1.3
       above (including the Additional Shares and the Guaranteed Shares as
       defined in Section 1.3 above), on the 365111 day after the Closing Date
       or the next business day if such day falls on a weekend or holiday (the
       "Valuation Date"). The value is determined as the amount at which
       Whitehall stock traded on the OTCBB at the close of trading on the
       Valuation Date. This remedy is non-exclusive, and Beasley agrees that ALG
       and/or Company may pursue any and all other remedies available under
       Arizona statutory or common law.

1.     7 Closing. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Closing of
       the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at the

       waived at such time, any party hereto entitled to the benefits of such
       condition may postpone the Closing by notice to the other parties until
       such condition or conditions shall have been met or waived, except that
       in no event shall the Closing occur after October 3, 2000, without the
       written agreement of all parties hereto. The date and time of such
       Closing are herein referred to as the "Closing Date".

       non-public confidential information which it obtained from the other
       parties hereto in the course of negotiating this Agreement, which it did
       not previously know or which was not previously in the public domain,
       confidential; no party will directly or indirectly use such information
       until the same shall become in the public domain (other than by
       disclosure by a party hereto receiving such information for use pursuant
       hereto ), and each party will return to the applicable party all
       documents, objects and records obtained from such other party pursuant
       hereto which are not in the public domain.

11.2 Destruction of Assets. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
     Agreement, if, on or prior to the Closing Date, any of the assets or other
     material properties of the Company or the Shareholders used in the
     Company's business have suffered loss or damage on account of fire, flood,
     accident, act of war, civil commotion, or any other cause or event beyond
     the reasonable power and control of the Company to an extent which
     materially adversely affects the value of the Company, ALG shall have the
     right, at its election, exercisable not later than ten (10) days after it
     receives notice of such loss or damage, either to consummate the
     transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or, in lieu of every other
     right or remedy whatsoever, to terminate this Agreement or amend this
     Agreement with the consent of the Shareholders. In the event ALG terminates
     this Agreement, all parties shall be released from liability hereunder
     except as set forth in Section 11. 1 herein. In the absence of a contrary
     election,

                                       20

<PAGE>

       it shall be presumed that ALG has elected to complete the transaction
       hereunder. If the transaction hereunder is closed, there shall be no
       adjustment in the Purchase Price payable hereunder as a result of such
       loss or damage unless agreed upon in writing by the parties prior to
       Closing, and ALG shall then be entitled to retain all insurance proceeds
       and correct the damage itself through use of insurance proceeds and other
       funds available to it.

11.3   Termination. Except for those obligations set forth in Section 11. 1
       herein which shall not terminate, either ALG or the Company may, under
       circumstances provided herein, as applicable, on or prior to the Closing
       Date, terminate this Agreement without liability as set forth below
       (provided the terminating party is not responsible for the event which
       permits termination hereunder):

(a)    By ALG or the Shareholders, if a bona fide action or proceeding brought
       by a person not a party to this Agreement is pending wherein an
       unfavorable judgment, decree or order would prevent or make unlawful the
       carrying out of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement,

(b)    By ALG or WTHL if, following examination by it of all matters set forth
       in Section 7.1 or following completion of all other acts necessary to
       accomplish its due diligence, should it be determined by ALG or WTHL in
       its reasonable discretion that the nature of the Company's business,
       assets, inventory, financial condition, the condition of the real estate,
       improvements or other matters material to this Agreement are
       substantially not as represented by the Company and the Shareholders then
       consistent with the acknowledgment of the parties that ALG or WTHL
       executed this Agreement based upon the representations of the Company and
       the Shareholders, without the opportunity of fully examining the
       Company's business, assets and other factors, ALG and WTHL shall have the
       right to terminate this Agreement without any liability whatsoever upon
       written notice to the Shareholders, which notice shall be sent at any
       time prior to the Closing Date;

(c)    By ALG or the Shareholders if any governmental body or agency having
       jurisdiction and authority to prevent consummation of the transactions
       required hereunder, has formally asserted that consummation of such
       transaction violates or would violate any applicable law, or any rule or
       regulation of such body or agency; or

(d)    By ALG or the Shareholders if any condition precedent to the obligation
       of such party to consummate the transaction has not been satisfied or
       waived.

(e)    In no event will the party entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant
       to this Section 11.3 be liable to the other party for money or other
       damages (liquidated or otherwise) for failure to consummate the
       transactions contemplated in this Agreement for any reason set out in
       this Section 11.3.

                                12. MISCELLANEOUS

12.1   Shareholders Actions. Wherever an act under the Agreement is required to
       be done by the Shareholders as a group or a waiver is to be granted by
       the Shareholders as a group, the signatures of one (1) out of the two (2)
       Shareholders shall constitute action for or on behalf of all of the
       Shareholders.

     bear all expenses incurred by it in connection with this Agreement and in
     consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and in preparation

                               INCENTIVE AGREEMENT
                               -------------------

This Incentive Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between Alternative
Lending Group, Inc., an Illinois Corporation (" ALG"), Whitehall Enterprises,
Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("Whitehall") and Michael Beasley ("Beasley").

1.     This Agreement is intended as a separate agreement from the Employment
       Agreement entered into between Beasley and MiB Group, Ltd. ("MGL ") dated
       September 30, 2000, (the "Employment Agreement") and shall not supersede
       nor invalidate any conflicting provisions of such Employment Agreement.

2.     As an additional incentive for Beasley to achieve top line revenue goals,
       Whitehall agrees that Beasley shall be entitled to as much as an
       additional 500,000 (split adjusted if applicable) Whitehall shares (as
       described in the Purchase Agreement between ALG and MGL dated September
       30, 2000 hereinafter the "Purchaser Agreement") to be paid in increments
       of 100,000 (split adjusted if applicable) Whitehall Shares for each year
       beginning October 1 of each year subsequent to the Closing Date of the
       Purchase Agreement under the following conditions:

       A.     If the TM division (as described in Section 5 of the Beasley
              Employment Agreement) achieves growth of gross revenues at a
              minimum of 5% per quarter during the period beginning October
              1,2000, through September 30,2001, ALG shall instruct Whitehall to
              distribute to Beasley 100,000 (split adjusted if applicable)
              Whitehall shares. In other words, in order for Beasley to obtain
              any such bonus, he must achieve a 20% gross revenue increase
              between October 1, 2000 and September 30, 2001, in order to
              receive a distribution of 100,000 (split adjusted if applicable)
              Whitehall shares.

B.     If the TM division (as described in Section 5 of the Beasley Employment
       Agreement) achieves growth of gross revenues at a minimum of 5% per
       quarter during the period beginning October 1, 2001, through September
       30, 2002, ALG shall instruct Whitehall distribute to Beasley 100,000
       (split adjusted if applicable) shares.

C.     If the TM division (as described in Section 5 of the Beasley Employment
       Agreement) achieves growth of gross revenues at a minimum of 5% per
       quarter during the period beginning October 1, 2002, through September
       30, 2003, ALG shall instruct Whitehall distribute to Beasley 100,000
       (split adjusted if applicable) shares.

       Agreement) achieves growth of gross revenues at a minimum of 5% per
       quarter during the period beginning October 1, 2003, through September
       30, 2004, ALG shall instruct Whitehall distribute to Beasley 100,000
       (split adjusted if applicable) shares.

E.     If the TM division (as described in Section 5 of the Beasley Employment
       Agreement) achieves growth of gross revenues at a minimum of 5% per
       quarter during the period beginning October 1,30, 2004, through September
       30, 2005, ALG shall instruct Whitehall distribute to Beasley 100,000
       (split adjusted if applicable) shares.

3.     ALG agrees to review this Agreement for possible changes to the incentive
       package after one year from the closing date of this Agreement. ALG shall
       have the sole discretion to make any changes to this Agreement after the
       one year anniversary from the closing date of this Agreement.

       the parties hereto.

       Arizona, and Beasley waives any conflicts of laws which may allow the
       laws of a different jurisdiction to apply or the removal of the
       jurisdiction, venue and forum from Maricopa County, Arizona.

6.     In the event the parties hereto enter into litigation in connection with
       this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to its reasonable
       attorneys fees and costs.

7.     If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or
       unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected and
       shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
