                   ADDENDUM TO CONTRACT FOR SALE AND PURCHASE

In reference to Contract dated __________________ between BIGHAM HIDE COMPANY,
INC, a Florida corporation, ("Seller") and SOLOMAN LAM and/or Assigns,
("Buyer"), it is further AGREED as FOLLOWS:

1.       All land to be acquired for the widening of County Roads, 468, 501,
         502, 507, or for any interchange to be constructed for the Florida
         Turnpike is specifically excluded from this Contract and Seller shall
         have the sole right and authority to sell or donate said land to the
         appropriate government entity should that become necessary during the
         contract period. In that event, all monies from any sale or any
         condemnation proceeds shall be the sole property of Seller and the
         legal description and purchase price shall be revised to reflect the
         deletion of the land sold, condemned, or donated for such projects. If
         said rights-of-way have not been either donated, condemned, or
         purchased or agreements for same have not been entered into by Seller
         by the date this contract is consummated, all such lands shall be
         conveyed to and shall become the property of the Buyer pursuant to the
         terms of this contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
         Seller is approached by any condemning authority about acquisition of
         any right of way, Buyer shall be notified and kept informed of all
         proceedings in connection therewith and shall be allowed to participate
         in any negotiations therefore. All decisions regarding the acquisition
         shall be made by Seller in its sole discretion until the time Buyer
         shall become the owner of the property. At that time, Buyer shall have
         all rights to any monies not yet paid and to make all decisions in
         connection therewith.

2.       The deposit received under paragraph II(a) shall be placed in a
         non-interest bearing account and shall be applied toward the purchase
         price. Seller has granted Buyer a "feasibility period" of 60 days from
         the Effective Date of the contract in which to conduct all due
         diligence Buyer may wish to perform. If, at the end of the 60-day
         feasibility period, Buyer elects not to continue with the contract,
         $10,000.00 of the deposit money shall be refunded to Buyer. After the
         60-day feasibility period, should Buyer cancel this contract for any
         reason, including all contingencies but other than the default of
         Seller, all costs incurred by Seller in connection with the negotiation
         of this contract or fulfillment of Seller's obligations hereunder shall
         be deducted from the deposit monies and any remaining balance shall be
         refunded to Buyer.

3.       This contract contains a feasibility period of 60 days from the
         effective date. The study to be conducted during the feasibility period
         is outlined in paragraph 10, but is hereby acknowledged by both Buyer
         and Seller that this Contract is NOT contingent upon the Buyer
         receiving any zoning approval, permits, development of regional impact
         approval, comprehensive plan amendment approval, Southwest Florida
         Water Management approval, Department of Environmental approval or any
         other approvals from any other entities.

4.       The closing date for this Contract shall be on or before APRIL 30,
         2002. That closing date shall NOT be affected by the feasibility period
         or any other contingencies to this Contract. If any contingencies are
         not met by APRIL 30, 2002, Buyer shall still be obligated to close the
         transaction. In the event Buyer does not close this transaction at that
         time, this Contract shall become null and void and the deposit shall be


                                       2

         disbursed pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Addendum. Any further
         extension of this contract may only be arranged by mutual agreement of
         both parties.

5.       Seller is contemplating the sale of this property as an Internal
         Revenue Code Section 1031 Exchange with Seller locating "replacement
         property" under such code. Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller to
         effectuate the acquisition of replacement property, with all additional
         costs attributable to the tax deferred exchange to be the
         responsibility of the Seller. Buyer understands that the Internal
         Revenue Service imposes strict time limitations on tax deferred
         exchanges and therefore agrees that time shall be of the essence of
         this agreement and any contract entered into subsequently by the
         parties. Buyer further understands that to carry out the intent of the
         Seller regarding a tax deferred exchange, certain rights and
         obligations of the Seller may be assigned to a Qualified Intermediary
         and Buyer agrees to cooperate in such assignment at no expense to
         Buyer.

6.       The purchase price of $15,000,000.00 is based upon a price of $6,500.00
         per acre with approximately 2300 acres being sold. Buyer may obtain a
         survey certifying the exact acreage, but the purchase price shall NOT
         be adjusted either up or down to reflect any per acre price, unless
         agreed to by both Buyer and Seller. In the event Buyer and Seller
         cannot agree, the purchase price shall be $15,000,000.00 for whatever
         amount of acreage is conveyed. Seller is to net from this closing the
         full purchase price of Fifteen Million ($15,000,000.00) Dollars. Buyer
         shall pay all commissions, closing costs, attorneys fees for both Buyer
         and Seller and all other costs associated with this transaction so that
         Seller nets Fifteen Million ($15,000,000.00) Dollars. Paragraph 1
         "PRORATIONS: CREDITS" of this contract is hereby deleted in full.

7.       This contract is subject to that certain Option Agreement entered into
         between Seller and Carter Burgess Company for approximately 250 acres
         of the subject property. The Option has two renewal periods remaining,
         one on February 15, 2002, and the last on June 15, 2002. Should the
         Option be extended on February 15, 2002, and this contract close on
         April 30, 2002, Seller shall assign his rights under that option to
         Buyer and Buyer shall be entitled to any remaining unpaid monies due
         thereunder. There shall be no proration of any monies received by
         Seller prior to closing. Buyer understands and acknowledges that should
         the Option Agreement be extended in February, and Buyer accept
         assignment of Seller's obligations thereunder in April, Buyer shall be
         governed by the terms of that Option Agreement and Seller makes no
         warranties or guarantees hereunder with respect to the property
         currently under option.

8.       Buyer acknowledges there are billboard leases on the property. Until
         consummation of this contract, Seller shall have the sole and exclusive
         right to negotiate any and all renewals of any of the leases and
         receive all payments therefore. Upon consummation of this contract, any
         unexpired leases shall be assigned to Buyer, but there shall be no
         proration of any prepaid rents received by Seller prior to closing.

9.       After closing, Seller shall have the sole and exclusive right to lease
         the property for agricultural purposes until the time it is developed.
         Seller shall be allowed to lease back from Buyer either all or a
         portion of the property for use for cattle or other agricultural uses
         for a period of three years with the right to renew on a year to year
         basis if the property is not being developed by Buyer. In that event,
         Seller shall pay to Buyer the sum of $7.00 per acre per year for each
         acre leased and the leases shall run annually. Upon termination of the



                                       4
/SL/
<PAGE>

         lease, all equipment owned by Seller shall be removed from the
         property. It is understood and agreed that this provision shall survive
         closing.

10.      Buyer will, at Buyer's expense and within 60 days from the Effective
         Date of this contract, determine whether the property is suitable, in
         Buyer's sole discretion, for Buyer's intended use. During this
         "feasibility period," Buyer may conduct a Phase I environmental
         assessment and any other tests, analyses, surveys and investigations
         Buyer deems necessary to determine to Buyer's satisfaction the
         property's engineering, architectural and environmental properties;
         zoning and zoning restrictions; subdivision statutes: soil and grade:
         availability of access to public roads, water and other utilities;
         consistency with local, state, and regional growth management plans;
         availability of permits, government approvals, and licenses; and other
         inspections that Buyer deems appropriate to determine the property's
         suitability for the Buyer's intended use. If the property must be
         rezoned, it shall be Buyer's sole responsibility to obtain such
         rezoning for the appropriate governmental agencies. Seller will sign
         all documents Buyer is required to file in connection with development
         or rezoning approvals. Seller hereby grants Buyer, his agents and
         employees, the right to enter the property during the feasibility
         period for the purpose of conducting inspections; provided, however,
         that Buyer, its agents, contractors, employees and assigns enter the
         property and conduct inspections at their own risk. Buyer shall
         indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all losses, damages, costs,
         claims and expenses of any nature, including attorney's fees, expenses
         and liability incurred in application for rezoning or related
         proceedings, and from liability to any person, arising from the conduct
         of any and all inspections or any work done on the property in the name
         of Buyer. Buyer shall not engage in any activity that could result in a



                                       5
/SL/
<PAGE>

         lien being filed against the property without Seller's prior written
         consent. If this transaction does not close, Buyer shall, at Buyer's
         expense (1) repair all damage to the property resulting from the
         inspections and return the property to the condition it was in prior to
         conduct of the inspections, and (2) release to Seller all reports and
         other work generated as a result of the inspections.

11.      Buyer shall deliver written notice to Seller three (3) days prior to
         the expiration of the feasibility period of Buyer's determination of
         whether or not the property is acceptable. Buyer's failure to comply
         with this notice requirement will constitute acceptance of the property
         as suitable for Buyer's intended use in its "as is" condition. If the
         property is unacceptable to Buyer and written notice of this fact is
         timely delivered to Seller, this contract will be deemed terminated as
         of the day after the feasibility period ends and Buyer's deposit, less
         $10,000.00 to be paid to Seller, shall be returned after Escrow Agent
         receives proper authorization from all interested parties.

12.      Buyer hereby agrees he will not interfere with or damage any current
         crops, including hay or other row crops currently planted on the
         property, and further agrees not to interfere with any cattle
         operations located on the property. Buyer will keep all gates closed at
         all times in order to avoid any cattle or other livestock being
         released from the property.

13.      Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the only broker or REALTOR due a
         commission upon the closing of this contract is Oxford Land Company.
         Buyer hereby acknowledges it shall be solely responsible for the
         payment of the commission due Oxford Land Company in the amount of
         three (3%) percent of the purchase price, and shall indemnify and hold
         Buyer harmless for same.
