                           REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT


     THIS REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is made as of November
15, 2000 by and between WORLDWIDE XCEED GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"BORROWER"), and SPHERION CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "LENDER").

                                   WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that Lender extend a revolving credit
facility in the aggregate principal amount of FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000)
(the "CREDIT FACILITY"), and Lender is willing to make available such Credit
Facility to the Borrower, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
and

     WHEREAS, in consideration for and as a condition to the Lender extending
the Credit Facility, the Borrower has agreed to grant the Lender warrants (the
"WARRANTS") to purchase up to 3,500,000 shares of the Borrower's common stock,
par value $0.01 per share, (the "WARRANT SHARES") at a price of $1.6875 per
Warrant Share, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrant
Agreement dated the date hereof in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT C (the
"WARRANT AGREEMENT").

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the forgoing, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. DEFINITIONS. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings set forth in EXHIBIT A attached hereto.

     2. LOANS. Lender shall, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement, make, upon the Borrower's request from time to time, revolving
loans (hereinafter referred to as, individually, a "Loan" and, collectively, the
"LOANS") to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding up to but not exceeding five million dollars ($5,000,000) (the
obligation of Lender to make Loans pursuant to the foregoing revolving line of
credit up to but not exceeding the foregoing aggregate principal amount at any
one time outstanding is hereinafter referred to as the "COMMITMENT"). The sum of
the aggregate principal amount of Loans at any one time outstanding shall in no
event exceed the Commitment. Within such limit, the Borrower may borrow, repay,
and reborrow at any time or from time to time from the date hereof to and
including the earlier to occur of (I) May 15, 2002, (II) the occurrence of an
"Event of Default" under and as defined in Section 12.1 hereof, (III) the
occurrence of an "Extraordinary Corporate Event" under and as defined in Section
12.2 hereof, and (iv) the Borrower Termination Date (the earlier of such dates
in clauses (i) through (iv) is hereinafter referred to as the "TERMINATION
DATE"). The Borrower's obligation to pay the Lender the principal and interest
of each Loan shall be further evidenced by a master

<PAGE>

revolving credit note, which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, in substantially the form of EXHIBIT B attached hereto (the
"MASTER REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE").

     3. BORROWING REQUESTS. The Borrower shall give Lender at least one (1)
business day prior written notice of each Loan by delivering to Lender a draw
request (a "DRAW REQUEST") specifying (I) the amount of the requested Loan which
shall not be less than $50,000 or a multiple thereof, (II) the requested closing
date of such Loan, and (III) the account information as to where the funds of
the Loan shall be delivered. Each such Loan shall be made in immediately
available funds by wire transfer to the account specified by the Borrower in the
Draw Request. In connection with each such Loan, the Borrower shall furnish to
the Lender a certificate executed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief
Financial Officer of the Borrower certifying as to the satisfaction as of the
date of the Draw Request of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (i), (ii),
(iii) and (iv) hereof (a "DRAW CERTIFICATE").

     4. CONDITIONS OF LENDING.

         4.1. INITIAL LOAN. The obligation of Lender to make the initial
Loan under this Credit Facility is subject to the following conditions
precedent: (I) Lender shall have received a certified copy of all corporate
actions taken by the Borrower to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the borrowing by the Borrower hereunder, and
copies of such audited and other financial statements, federal income tax
returns, and other financial documents as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall
request prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement; (II) Lender shall
have received a certificate signed by the secretary of the Borrower, attaching

Requests, in form acceptable to the Lender; (III) Lender shall have received
certificates issued by the appropriate governmental authorities evidencing the
good standing of the Borrower, with respect to both the conduct of business and
the payment of all franchise taxes, as of a date not more than five days prior
to the date hereof, as a corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware and as a foreign corporation authorized to do business under the laws
of the various jurisdictions where it is so qualified, if applicable; (IV)
Lender shall have received an opinion of counsel to the Borrower, in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender and counsel to Lender, as to the enforceability
of this Agreement, as to the perfection of the security interest granted
hereunder, and as to the matters referred to in Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.10
hereof; (V) the Borrower shall have executed and delivered the Warrant Agreement
to the Lender prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement; (VI) the
Borrower shall have executed and delivered the Master Revolving Credit Note to
the Lender prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement; (VII) the

forth only in Sections 10.2 (i), (ii) and (iv) hereof and the Borrower shall
have provided the Lender with appropriate termination statements on Form
U.C.C.-3 evidencing the termination of all


                                       2
<PAGE>

security interests heretofore granted by the Borrower upon the Collateral or
other evidence of the release of such security interests in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Lender; and (VIII) the Borrower shall have duly
authorized, executed, filed, registered and recorded such UCC financing
statements and other instruments as the Lender may have reasonable requested to
perfect the liens in the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

     4.2. EACH LOAN. The obligation of Lender to make each Loan to be made by it
hereunder (including the initial Loan) is subject to the following conditions
precedent: (I) no Event of Default, and no event which with notice or lapse of
time or both would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be
continuing; (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower hereunder
shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the
making of such Loan with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such
date (except to the extent the Lender has been notified by the Borrower that any
representation or warranty is not correct and the Lender has explicitly waived
in writing compliance with such representation or warranty); (III) there shall
have been no material adverse change to the financial condition or operations of
the Borrower from the date hereof which would have a Material Adverse Effect on
the Collateral; (IV) the Borrower shall have delivered to Lender not less than
three (3) business days prior to the date of such Loan a Draw Request and a Draw
Certificate; and (V) no Extraordinary Corporate Event shall have occurred and
the Borrower shall not be aware of any actions or proceedings pending or
threatened that could reasonably be expected to result in an Extraordinary
Corporate Event.

     5. INTEREST AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST. The Borrower agrees (I) to pay
interest on the outstanding principal balance of Loans hereunder (before and
after the Termination Date) at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to two percent
(2%) per annum plus the "Prime Rate" as publicly announced in the "Money Rates"
section of the WALL STREET JOURNAL (the "INTEREST RATE"); or (II) to pay
interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate plus two
percent (2%) per annum, on any amount of principal which is not paid when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise). In no event shall
the rate of interest on Loans hereunder be in excess of the rate authorized by
applicable law. Interest on the Loans accruing during each month shall be paid
by the Borrower on the first day of each month commencing in the month
immediately following of the initial Loan. Payments of interest on the Loans
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to account of the
Lender as designated in writing by the Lender to the Borrower. For purposes of
this Section 5, the rate of interest shall be calculated on the first business
day of each calendar quarter for all outstanding Loans during such calendar
quarter.

repay the entire aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by Lender
to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (as the same may be amended,
modified, supplemented from time to time) outstanding on the Termination Date
plus all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder.

     7. PREPAYMENT; BORROWER TERMINATION. The Borrower shall have the right at
any time and from time to time, upon one (1) business day's notice to Lender, to
prepay the outstanding principal amount of Loans and any accrued and unpaid
interest hereunder, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided
that prepayments shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest due
hereunder, and then to principal. The portion of each partial prepayment of such
outstanding principal made after the Termination Date which is applied to
principal shall be applied to the latest maturing installments of principal.
Prepayments shall not be less than $50,000, or a multiple thereof, other than
payments made on the Termination Date. The Borrower shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement, without premium or penalty, upon three (3) business

Warrant Agreement.

instrument(including, without limitation, the subscription agreement and other
agreements executed and delivered between the Borrower and its holders of Series
A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock) to which the Borrower is a party or by

     9.3 INSURANCE. Maintain insurance with financially sound and reputable
insurance companies or associations in such amounts and covering such risks as
are usually carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning
similar properties doing business in the same general areas in which the
Borrower operates. All insurance policies insuring the Collateral shall name
Lender as loss payee or additional insured. Copies of certificates of such
insurance and all endorsements shall be furnished to Lender within 30 days after
request thereof by the Lender. Such insurance policies shall contain provisions
that no insurance may be cancelled or the coverage limits or other terms thereof
decreased or otherwise materially modified, except upon prior written notice to
Lender given no later than such notice is required to be given to the Borrower,
as the case may be. If the Borrower shall at any time or times hereafter fail to
obtain and/or maintain any of the policies of insurance required herein, or fail
to pay any premium in whole or in part relating to any such policies, Lender may
but shall not be obligated to obtain and/or cause to be maintained insurance
coverage with respect to such property, including at Lender's option the
coverage provided by any or all of the policies of the Borrower, and pay all or
any part of the premium therefor, without thereby waiving any default by the
Borrower, and any sums so disbursed by Lender shall be additional Loans to the
Borrower by Lender payable on demand and shall bear interest at the rate borne
by the Loans from time to time. After the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default and pursuant to the exercise of its rights and remedies
under Section 12, Lender shall have the right to settle and compromise any and
all claims under any of the policies required to be maintained by the Borrower
hereunder (with the consent of the Borrower which shall not be unreasonably
withheld) and the Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with
the power, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default and pursuant to the exercise of its rights and remedies under Section
12, to demand, receive, and receipt for all monies payable thereunder, to
execute in the name of the Borrower or Lender or both any proof of loss, notice,
draft or other instruments in connection with such policies or any loss
thereunder and generally to do and perform any and all acts as the Borrower, but
for this appointment, might or could perform.

     9.4 TAXES. Pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental
charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income and profits, or upon any
property belonging to it, prior to the date upon which penalties attach thereto,
except and to the extent that the same are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings.

     9.5 BOOKS AND RECORDS. Keep proper books of record and account.

     9.6 DELIVERY OF COLLATERAL. Promptly upon a request being made therefor by

require as security or further security, as the case may be, for the repayment
of the Loans.

     9.7 OTHER.

understood that making Borrower SEC Reports available via EDGAR shall constitute
delivery thereof to the Lender).

representatives of the Lender any of its books and records, and any information
regarding its financial condition.

course of business.

          (d) Give notice to the Lender within five days of: (I) any

hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00), or deliver assets the aggregate value of
which exceeds such sum (whether or not the claim is considered to be covered by
insurance); and (II) the institution of any other suit or proceeding involving
it that might have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) Pay when due or cause to be paid when due (or within
applicable grace periods) all indebtedness for borrowed money or for the
deferred purchase price of property owed to third persons, except when the
amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and

Borrower. If the Borrower defaults in the payment of any principal (or
installment thereof) of, or interest on, any such indebtedness, Lender shall
have the right in its discretion, to pay such interest or principal for the
account of the Borrower and be reimbursed, on demand, by the Borrower.

          (f) Notify Lender immediately if it becomes aware of the occurrence
of any Event of Default or an Extraordinary Corporate Event (or any facts that
could reasonably be expected to result in the occurrence of an Event of Default

conduct of its businesses, except to the extent the foregoing would not have any
Material Adverse Effect.

address currently in effect for the Borrower under Section 12 hereof five (5)

shall have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, but in any event,
Lender may sell at its option on such terms as it may choose without assuming

for sale, selling or collection of or realization upon any of the Collateral
or relating or incidental to the establishment or preserving or enforcement

JURY in any legal action or proceeding arising under or in connection with
this Agreement, regardless of whether such action or proceeding concerns any
contractual or tortious or other claim. The Borrower and any such guarantor
severally acknowledge that this waiver of jury trial is a material inducement
to Lender in accepting this Agreement, that Lender would not have accepted
this Agreement without this jury trial waiver, and that each of them has been
represented by an attorney or has had an opportunity to consult with an
attorney regarding this Agreement and understands the legal effect of this
jury trial waiver.

                                       18

     20.  BINDING AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Borrower and its successors and assigns and the terms hereof shall inure to
the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.

     21.  GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made
under, and shall in all respects be governed by, the laws of the State of New
York without regard to any conflict of law rule or principal that would give
effect to the laws of another jurisdiction, and none of its terms or
provisions may be waived, modified, amended or terminated except as Lender
may consent thereto in writing.

     22.  CONFIDENTIALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision contained
herein, if the Lender receives information regarding the Borrower which is
not otherwise publicly available (such information, the "CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION"), the Lender(i) shall not use or distribute such Confidential
Information in any manner whatsoever which would violate any applicable
securities laws, (ii) shall not disclose such information to any third
parties except such disclosure as shall may be required by Lender to comply
with any applicable law, rule, regulation, administrative order or court
order, and (iii) other than as set forth in the preceding clause (ii), shall
undertake to keep all such Confidential Information confidential and shall
undertake all necessary actions which a prudent person or institution would
take to keep such Confidential Information confidential.

                          MASTER REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE


$5,000,000                                                     November 15, 2000
                                                              New York, New York


         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, WORLDWIDE XCEED GROUP, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of SPHERION
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "LENDER"), the principal sum of FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000), or so much of those Loans as may be outstanding
from time to time pursuant to that Revolving Credit Agreement dated the date
hereof by and between the Lender and the Borrower (the "REVOLVING CREDIT
AGREEMENT"), together with interest on the principal balance (the "PRINCIPAL
BALANCE") from time to time outstanding hereunder at a fluctuating rate equal to
two percent (2%) per annum over the "Prime Rate" as publicly announced in the
"Money Rates" section of the WALL STREET JOURNAL (the "INTEREST RATE"). The rate
of interest shall be calculated on the first business day of each calendar
quarter for all Loans outstanding during such calendar quarter. Payments to the
Lender of principal and/or accrued interest under this Note shall be made to
Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated
by Lender to the Borrower in writing or, at Lender's option, to Spherion
Corporation, 2050 Spectrum Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 33309, or at
such other place as the Lender may from time to time designate to the Borrower
in writing. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
respective meanings set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

         Interest shall be payable by the Borrower only in arrears, commencing
on the 1st day of the month following the date of this Master Revolving Credit
Note (the "NOTE") and thereafter on the 1st day of each of month until the
Termination Date (as defined below).

         This Note shall mature on the earlier to occur (the "MATURITY DATE") of
(i) May 15, 2002 , (II) the occurrence of an "Event of Default" under and as
defined in Section 12.1 of the Revolving Credit Agreement, (III) the occurrence
of an "Extraordinary Corporate Event" under and as defined in Section 12.2 of
the Revolving Credit Agreement , and (iv) the Borrower Termination Date, at
which time the entire unpaid Principal Balance and any accrued and unpaid
interest shall be due and payable. The Borrower may prepay the Principal Balance
of and/or accrued and unpaid interest on this Note, in whole or in part, at any
time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date without premium or
penalty; provided, however, that any such prepayments of the Principal Balance
shall be made only in multiples of $50,000. Any amounts prepaid by the Borrower
may be reborrowed; provided, however, that at no time may the outstanding
Principal Balance hereof exceed $5,000,000.


                                      B-1
<PAGE>



         All payments made hereunder shall be credited first to accrued and
unpaid interest and then to principal; provided that, upon an Event of Default
or an Extraordinary Corporate Event (as defined in the Revolving Credit
Agreement), the Lender may, in its sole discretion, and in such order as it may
choose, apply any payment to interest, principal and/or lawful charges and
expenses then accrued.

         Interest hereunder shall be charged only on the sums advanced from the
date of advance to the date of repayment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Borrower does not intend or expect to pay, nor
does the Lender intend or expect to charge, accept or collect any interest which
when added to any other charge upon the Principal Balance, shall be in excess of
the highest lawful rate allowable under the laws of the State of Florida or the
United States of America, whichever is higher or unlimited. Should acceleration,
prepayment or any other charges upon the Principal Balance or any portion
thereof result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the
highest lawful rate allowable under the laws of the State of Florida or the
United States of America, whichever is higher or unlimited, then any and all
such excess is hereby waived and shall be applied against the remaining
Principal Balance, if any, and thereafter refunded to the Borrower.

         If any Event of Default or an Extraordinary Corporate Event occurs, the
Lender may, at its option, accelerate maturity, and the unpaid Principal Balance
hereof and all unpaid accrued interest shall thereupon immediately become due
and payable without presentment, demand, notice or protest, and the Lender shall
have the right to set off against this Note all money owed by Lender in any
capacity to the Borrower. Interest shall accrue at a fluctuating rate per annum
equal to the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum, on the entire unpaid
principal amount hereof, from the date of such Event of Default or Extraordinary
Corporate Event until the date the unpaid principal amount hereof is paid in
full. In addition, the occurrence of an Event of Default or Extraordinary
Corporate Event shall immediately terminate the Borrower's right to further
borrowings under this Master Revolving Credit Note. The Borrower further agrees
to pay all costs of collection, including attorneys' fees (inclusive of any
bankruptcy proceedings), in case the principal of this Note or any interest
thereof is not paid when due.

         No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right under this
Note. In addition, the waiver by the Lender of the Borrower's prompt and
complete performance of, or default under, any provision of this Note shall not
operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default, and the
failure by the Lender to exercise any right or remedy which it may possess
hereunder shall not operate or be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such
right or remedy upon the occurrence of any subsequent breach or default.

         This Note may not be modified, amended or terminated, except in a
writing executed by the Borrower and the Lender.

Lender's prior written consent.

None, except:

         Pulse Interactive B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Selling stockholders of Pulse Interactive have the right to receive up to two
(2) subsequent earn-out payments of Xceed Common Stock during the first year
following the acquisition (the acquisition is dated February 2000). The first
earn-out payment became payable in September 2000 in the amount of approximately
82,000 shares of Common Stock. The second earn-out payment, if any, is due in
March 2001.

                                   LITIGATION


NONE, EXCEPT:

-    VANCE SPEARS V. X-CEED, INC. This action was filed in the Los Angeles
     Superior Court and was recently removed to the United States District
     Court, Central District of California, No. CV-00-10531 LGB (AIJx).
     Plaintiff alleges common law claims of fraud, negligent misrepresentation,
     and breach of contract premised upon his claim that he was offered
     employment with the company, quit his job in reliance on that offer, and
     then was told that there would be no job position for him. The amount of
     plaintiff's alleged damages is not yet clear. On the one hand, plaintiff
     has denied that his alleged damages are less than $125,000. On the other
     hand, he states that his lost income was $21,450 as of August 31, 2000,
     that he has also lost benefits and that his lost income continues at the
     rate of about $15,000 per year. Plaintiff has filed a motion to remand the
     action to state court, which motion is set for hearing on November 27,
     2000. At this juncture, in light of the fact that plaintiff's deposition
     has yet to be taken and discovery has been limited, it is premature to
     evaluate the Company's exposure.

-    JEANNE LAHAIE V. XCEED INC. This claim is currently pending before the
     United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Charge No.
     370A01126, in San Francisco, California. Plaintiff alleges that she was
     sexually harassed and that she was retaliated against for having brought
     the harassment to the attention of management. On behalf of the Company, we
     filed a position statement with the EEOC on or about September 19, 2000,
     denying the allegations. The EEOC is currently investigating this matter.
     At this juncture, it is premature to evaluate the company's exposure.

-    YETUNDE A. JUDE V. XCEED INC. This claim was filed with the United States
     Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Charge No. 110A03544, in Atlanta,
     Georgia. Plaintiff claimed that she had been discriminated against on the
     basis of her race and retaliated against, presumably because she complained
     about alleged unfair treatment by her team members. On behalf of the
     Company, we filed a position statement with the EEOC on or about September
     8, 2000. On September 29, 2000, the EEOC issued a determination that there
     was insufficient evidence to support plaintiff's claims, and it advised
     plaintiff of her right to sue. Plaintiff has 90 days from her receipt of
     that notice to file a lawsuit alleging discrimination.

-    JOHN HALL V. XCEED INC. This claim was filed on about August 3, 2000 with
     the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), Charge
     No. 160A02438, in New York, New York and has been resolved by the EEOC in
     Xceed's favor.

-    BRENDA ISAAC V. XCEED, INC., MCLAUGHLIN & STERN, L.L.P., WERNER G. HAASE,
     AND RICHARD J. BLUMBERG. 00 Civ. 7461, filed in the United States District
     Court for the Southern District of New York on October 3, 2000. The
     complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities and
     Exchange Act of 1934 and common law fraud arising from the 1999 merger of
     Xceed Motivation Atlanta, Inc. and Xceed, Inc., as well as breach of
     contract arising from certain provisions of the merger agreement. Plaintiff
     demands $2,217,989.51 in compensatory damages and $100 million in punitive
     damages. A response is not yet due. In the event that the litigation
     proceeds, the Company has informed us that it intends to vigorously contest
     and defend against the allegations.

-    TARGET CAPITAL CORP. AND YITZ GROSSMAN V. X-CEED, INC., A NEW YORK
     CORPORATION FORMERLY KNOWN AS WATER-JEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., WATER-JEL
     TECHNOLOGIES, INC., A NEW YORK CORPORATION, AND X-CEED, INC., A DELAWARE
     CORPORATION, A/K/A XCEED, INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION, 00 Civ. 604424,
     filed in New York Supreme Court on October 12, 2000. The complaint alleges
     breaches of contract relating to two consulting agreements between
     plaintiffs and Water-Jel Technologies, Inc. Plaintiff demands compensatory
     damages in the amount of $681,115 plus interest. In the event that the
     litigation proceeds, the Company has informed us that it intends to
     vigorously contest and defend against the allegations.

-    On May 26, 2000, Xceed filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of N.Y.,
     Commercial Division for $1,500,000 for services performed. Drinks
     counterclaimed on July 21, 2000 for $14,000,000 alleging Xceed's poor
     performance caused Drinks.com Inc. to loose projected revenue. Xceed has
     filed a motion to dismiss Drinks counterclaim.

-    Although no suit has been filed, Xceed is aware of a potential claim by a
     former client, ForestFactory, Inc., regarding what it contends were
     substandard services supplied by Xceed. ForestFactory, Inc. has disputed
     the two remaining and outstanding invoices in their entirety, an aggregate
     amount of $1,418,563.70. Xceed and ForestFactory have addressed
     ForestFactory's grievances in good faith negotiations, and have arrived at
     what appears at this time to be a final resolution and settlement. Said
     final resolution and settlement has been reduced to a written agreement by
     Xceed's in-house legal department and counsel for ForestFactory, but the
     agreement has not, as of the date of this letter, been signed by either
     party.

We are aware of three claims for stock options against the Company, none of
which has been escalated to litigation:

- Graham Barron claims he is entitled to 11,000 Methodfive stock options. We do
not believe his claim has merit because he failed to timely exercise his stock
options.

- Gregg Rock claims he was deprived of the opportunity to purchase 7,500
Methodfive stock options at the strike price. We do not believe his claim has
merit because the Company is in no way responsible for Mr. Rock's failure to
exercise his options.

- Rebecca Stupak raised a claim for the option to purchase 1,900 shares of
Methodfive stock. The Company has reached a settlement with Ms. Stupak.
