      2.    MERGER CONSIDERATION; CLOSING.

            (a)   Consideration - Cash and XRG Common Stock. At the Closing, XRG
will (i) pay to the Shareholders (in proportion to their respective holdings of
EFS Common Stock as listed on Exhibit ___) a total of Three Million Dollars
($3,000,000) in cash or other presently

                                       4
<PAGE>

available funds, and (ii) issue to or for the accounts of the Shareholders (in
proportion to their respective holdings of EFS Common Stock as listed on Exhibit
___) that number of shares of XRG Common Stock which will have a combined
Closing Date fair market value equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the
"XRGC Shares").

            (b)   Lease of ELS Trailers. Prior to the Closing, the Parties
acknowledge that the Sellers will cause Freeway Systems Incorporated ("FWS") to
transfer all of FWS's trailers (consisting of approximately 18 - 20 trailers) to
EFS. As a result of such transfer, EFS will then own and hold a total of
approximately 250 trailers (the "Trailers") which EFS will transfer and convey
to a newly formed holding company to be known as Express Leasing Systems, Inc.
("ELS") as part of a tax free reorganization and spin-off under Internal Revenue
Code Section 368(a)1(D) and IRC Section 355 (collectively referred to as the
"Reorganization"). Following the Reorganization but prior to the Closing, ELS
will elect to be treated as a Subchapter S corporation and will enter into the
Master Equipment Lease Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit ___ (the "MELA")
with EFS for the use and rental of the Trailers. The general terms of the MELA
will provide for EFS to lease the Trailers from ELS on a triple net basis for a
term of 36 months from the Closing at a base rental amount of Fifty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($55,000.00) per month. At the expiration of the 36-month term,
the MELA will provide for EFS to purchase all of the Trailers for a total
purchase price of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) which amount shall be due and
payable in full at the conclusion of the MELA lease term.

            (c)   Issuance of XRG Convertible Note. One (1) year after the
Closing Date, XRG will issue a 10% Convertible Note to Sellers in accordance
with the form attached as Exhibit ___ (the "Note"). The Sellers shall each have
a pro rata interest in the Note in accordance with their pro rata ownership of
the XRGC Shares issued in the Merger. The face amount of this Note will be based
on the total new "agency business" gross revenue of EFS as hereafter defined. As
used herein, the term new "agency business" shall include (i) all gross revenues
generated by or for XRG or any affiliate or subsidiary of XRG at any time prior
to the Closing Date and within twelve months thereafter as a result of the
employment or independent contracting efforts of either Tom Beam and/or Larry
Berry, together with (ii) all new agency business gross revenues of EFS during
the first twelve months following the Closing Date. New agency business will be
separately accounted for by EFS, and if the combined total new agency business
gross revenue (as defined above) equals $20,000,000 prior to the expiration of
the first twelve months following the Closing Date (as determined by the audited
financial statements of EFS and XRG), the Note will be in the face amount of
$3,000,000. If the combined total new agency business gross revenue (as defined
above) is greater or less than $20,000,000 at the end of the first twelve months
following the Closing Date, XRG will increase or decrease the face amount of
this Note by multiplying 3,000,000 times the result of dividing the actual new
agency business gross revenue in the first twelve months by $20,000,000 (for
example, if the actual new agency business gross revenue is $15,000,000, the
face amount of this Note issued to the Sellers would be [15,000,000 /
20,000,000] X 3,000,000 = $2,250,000, and by way of further example, if the
actual new agency business gross revenue is $25,000,000, the face amount of the
Note issued to the Sellers would be [25,000,000 / 20,000,000] X 3,000,000 =
$3,750,000). For purposes of this paragraph, the Parties agree that "new agency
gross revenues" shall also include an adjustment equal to five times the revenue
generated by EFS during the first twelve months following the Closing Date from
its warehousing operations (i.e. warehouse storage, consolidation and
distribution services). The Note will be convertible, at the Sellers' option, to
shares of XRG's Common Stock at a conversion ratio based upon the average market
price for

                                       5
<PAGE>

the previous 20 trading days prior to conversion. The Note will be repayable
together with accrued interest based upon the following schedule:

                  1) 33% twelve months from issuance date;
                  2) 33% eighteen months from issuance date; and
                  3) 34% twenty-four months from issuance date.

            (d)   Continuing Liabilities of EFS. As of the Closing, XRG
expressly acknowledges that EFS shall continue to be responsible for its
pre-Closing obligations, including without limitation, EFS' obligations under
(i) that certain Commercial Lease Agreement with Sharon H. Limerick for EFS's
principal office space and headquarters; (ii) those certain Executive Employment
Agreements between EFS and John A. Limerick III, Mark J. Limerick, Matthew R.
Limerick, Douglas F. Varnell, and Gregory L. Poe; and (iii) the MELA. At the
Closing, as part of the Executive Employment Agreements, XRG and each of the
Executives listed above shall have entered into a mutually agreeable equity
incentive arrangement.

            (e)   The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Johnson, Pope,
Bokor, Ruppel & Burns, P.A., 911 Chestnut Street, Clearwater, Florida 33756 on
or before March 31, 2004, or on such other date as agreed to by the Parties
following the satisfaction or waiver of all pre-closing conditions to the
obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby
("Closing Date").

            (f)   Deliveries at the Closing. At the Closing (i) EFS and/or the
Shareholders will deliver the various instruments and documents referred to in
Section 6(a) below; (ii) XRG will issue and deliver to the Sellers checks for
the cash consideration and certificates for the Sellers' respective number of
XRGC Shares and will deliver the various instruments and documents referred to
in Section 6(b) below; (iii) EFS will execute and deliver to XRG such other
instruments of transfer, conveyance, and assignment as XRG and its counsel
reasonably may request; (iv) XRG will execute and deliver to EFS such
instruments of assumption as EFS and its counsel reasonably may request; and (v)

<PAGE>

                        maintains a system of internal accounting control
                        sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i)

                        transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
                        preparation of financial statements in conformity with
                        generally accepted principles and to maintain
                        accountability for assets, (iii) access is permitted
                        only in accordance with management's general or specific
                        authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for
                        assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable
                        intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect
                        to any differences. The Company does not use any
                        derivative financial instruments.

            (i)   Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of EFS consists
of _________ shares of common stock, par value $______ per share, of which
_______ shares are issued and outstanding. The Sellers are, and will be on the
Closing Date, the record and beneficial owners and holders of the EFS Shares,
which constitute all of the issued and outstanding stock of EFS, free and clear
of all liens, claims or encumbrances of any kind. No legend or other reference
to any purported encumbrance appears upon any certificate representing the EFS
Shares. All of the EFS Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and
are fully paid and nonassessable. There are no contracts relating to the
issuance, sale, or transfer of the EFS Shares, other than this Agreement. None
of the EFS Shares were issued in violation of the Securities Act or any other

and correct and have been maintained in accordance with sound business
practices. The minute books of EFS contain accurate and complete records of all

directors and committees of the boards of directors, and no meeting of any such
stockholders, board of directors or committee has been held for which minutes

            (k)   Accounts Receivable. All accounts receivable of EFS that are
reflected in the Financial Statements or the accounting records of EFS as of the
Closing Date (collectively, the "Accounts Receivable") represent or will
represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services
actually performed in the Ordinary Course of Business. Unless paid prior to the
Closing Date, the Accounts Receivable are or will be as of the Closing Date
current and collectible, net of the respective reserves shown in the Financial
Statements or the accounting records of EFS as of the Closing Date (which
reserves are adequate and calculated consistent with past practice and will not
represent a material adverse change in the composition of such Accounts
Receivable in terms of aging). Subject to the foregoing, each of the Accounts
Receivable either has been or will be collected in full, without any set-off,
within ninety (90) days after the day on which it first becomes due and payable.
There is no contest, claim, or right of set-off, other than in the Ordinary
Course of Business, under any contract with any obligor of an Accounts
Receivable relating to the amount or validity of such Accounts Receivable. Part
3.8 of the Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list of all
Accounts Receivable as of the Closing Date, which list sets forth the aging of
such Accounts Receivable.

list of all audits of all such tax returns within the last five years, including
a reasonably detailed description of the nature and outcome of each audit. All
deficiencies proposed as a result of such audits have been paid, reserved
against, settled, or, as described in Part 3(m)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule,

the Disclosure Schedule describes all adjustments to the United States federal

                  (v)   None of the assets of EFS are property which is required
to be treated as owned by any other person pursuant to so-called "Safe Harbor
Lease" provisions of Section 168(f)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Financial Statement, there has not been any material adverse change in the
business, operations, properties, prospects, assets, or condition of EFS, and to
the knowledge of Sellers and EFS, no event has occurred or circumstance exists
that may result in such a material adverse change. Except as disclosed, in Part

a consistent and normal fashion since the date of the last Financial Statements.

            (o)   Employees. To the knowledge of Sellers and EFS, no executive,
key employee, or group of employees has any plans to terminate employment with

or other collective bargaining disputes. EFS has not committed any unfair labor
practice that has not been resolved. The Sellers have no knowledge of any
organizational effort presently being made or threatened by or on behalf of any
labor union with respect to employees of EFS.

            (p)   Employee Benefits.

                  (i)   Schedule 3(p) of the Disclosure Schedule lists each

                  (iii) Each such Employee Benefit Plan which is an Employee
Pension Benefit Plan meets the requirements of a "qualified plan" under Code

thereunder, nor any trustee, administrator or other fiduciary thereof, has
engaged in a "prohibited transaction", as such term is defined in Section 4975
of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA. EFS has complied in all material respects
with the reporting and disclosure requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue
Code as applicable to Employee Benefit Plans.

                  (iv)  The market value of assets under each such Employee
Benefit Plan which is an Employee Pension Benefit Plan equals or exceeds the

accordance with methods, factors, and assumptions applicable to an Employee
Pension Benefit Plan.

material laws, regulations, orders and other requirements of all courts and

                                       18

      7.    INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.

            (a)   The XRGC Shares to be received by each Seller pursuant to this
Agreement will be held by such Seller for his/her own account for the purpose of
investment and not with a present view for sale in connection with any
distribution thereof.

            (b)   Each Seller's financial position is such that he/she can
afford to bear the economic risk of holding the XRGC Shares he/she receives
pursuant to this Agreement for an indefinite period of time, and each Seller can
afford to suffer the complete loss of his/her investment in the XRGC Shares.

            (c)   Each Seller has been provided an opportunity to ask questions
of, and has received answers satisfactory to such Seller from, XRG and its
representatives regarding the business and affairs of XRG and such other
information as he/she desired in order to evaluate an investment in the XRGC
Shares.

            (d)   Each Seller understands that the XRGC Shares comprising the
consideration to be received by him/her pursuant to this Agreement have not been
registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws in
reliance upon specific exemptions from registration thereunder. Each Seller
agrees that the XRGC Shares to be received by him/her pursuant to this Agreement
may not be sold, offered for sale, exchanged, transferred, pledged or otherwise
disposed of except pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act
or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and in compliance with state securities laws, and the certificates for the
XRGC Shares will bear a legend to such effect. Upon registration, if any, there
can be no assurance that a public market for the XRGC Shares will exist or that
trading of such shares can commence, or if commenced can be maintained. As a
result, a holder of XRGC Shares may find it difficult to dispose of, or to
obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, the shares. In addition, XRG
securities may be subject to "penny stock" rules that impose sales practice and
market making requirements on broker-dealers who sell and/or make a market in
such securities. This could affect the ability or willingness of broker-dealers
to sell and/or make a market in XRG securities and the ability of holders of XRG
securities to sell their stock in the secondary market.

            (e)   No Seller is a foreign person subject to withholding under
Section 1445 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

      8.    TERMINATION.

            (a)   Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated as

                  (i)   XRG, the Sellers and EFS may terminate this Agreement by
                        mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing;

                  (ii)  XRG may terminate this Agreement by giving written
                        notice to the Sellers and EFS at any time prior to the
                        Closing (A) in the event EFS or the Sellers have
                        breached any material representation, warranty, or
                        covenant contained in this Agreement in any material

<PAGE>

                        respect, XRG has notified EFS or the Sellers, as
                        applicable, of the breach, and the breach has continued
                        without cure for a period of thirty (30) days after the
                        notice of breach, or (B) if the Closing shall not have
                        occurred on or before February 29, 2004, by reason of
                        the failure of any condition precedent under Section
                        6(a) hereof (unless the failure results primarily from
                        XRG itself breaching any representation, warranty, or
                        covenant contained in this Agreement);

                  (iii) Sellers may terminate this Agreement by giving written
                        notice to XRG at any time prior to the Closing (A) in
                        the event XRG has breached any material representation,
                        warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any
                        material respect, Sellers have notified XRG of the
                        breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a
                        period of thirty (30) days after the notice of breach,
                        or (B) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or
                        before February 29, 2004, by reason of the failure of
                        any condition precedent under Section 6(b) hereof
                        (unless the failure results primarily from Sellers or
                        EFS itself breaching any representation, warranty, or
                        covenant contained in this Agreement).

            (b)   Effect of Termination. If any Party terminates this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8(a) above, all rights and obligations of the Parties
hereunder shall terminate without any liability of any Party to any other Party,
except for any liability of any Party then in breach or except as otherwise
expressly set forth in this Agreement.

            9.4   INDEMNIFICATION OF THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS. The obligations and
liabilities of any party to indemnify any other under this Article 9 with
respect to a Claim relating to or arising from a claim relating to third parties
(a "Third-Party Claim") shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

                  (a)   Notice and Defense. The party or parties to be
indemnified (whether one or more, the "Indemnified Party") will give the party
from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") prompt written
notice of any such Claim (which shall be given no later than the expiration of
the Survival Period applicable to a representation or warranty with respect to
which a Claim is made), and the Indemnifying Party may undertake the defense
thereof by representatives chosen by it. In all matters concerning the
Shareholders by virtue of joint and several liability, an agent for the
Shareholders (the "Shareholders' Agent") shall give and receive notice and
otherwise act in all respects on their behalf. Failure to give notice to a
Shareholder shall not affect the Indemnifying Party's duty or obligations under
this Article 9, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced
thereby. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending any such Third-Party
Claim actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such
Claim. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or
its representatives all records and other materials required by them and in the
possession or under the control of the Indemnified Party, for the use of the
Indemnifying Party and its representatives in defending any such Claim, and
shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.

                  (b)   Failure to Defend. If the Indemnifying Party, within a
reasonable time after notice of any such Claim, fails to defend such Claim
actively and in good faith, then the Indemnified Party will (upon further
written notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the
defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim or consent to the entry of a
judgment with respect to such Claim, on behalf of and for the account and risk
of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter have no
right to challenge the Indemnified Party's defense, compromise, settlement or
consent to judgment therein.

                  (c)   Indemnified Party's Rights. Anything in this Section 9.4
to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) if there is a reasonable probability that a
Claim would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the
Indemnified Party other than as a result of

                                       22
<PAGE>

money damages or other money payments, the Indemnified Party shall have the
right to defend, compromise or settle such Claim, and (ii) the Indemnifying
Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or
compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the
plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of
such Claim.

                  (d)   Procedures for Claims Not Involving Third Parties.

                        (i)   All claims not involving third parties made under
Sections 9.1 or 9.2 shall be asserted as soon as practicable and with respect to
Claims for breach of representation and warranties no later than the expiration
of the Survival Period applicable to the representation or warranty with respect
to which the Claim is made. Each claim must be in writing and set forth in
reasonable detail the basis for the Claim, all material facts then known to the
claimant or Indemnified Party with respect thereto, and the section(s) of this
Agreement under which the Claim arises.

                        (ii)  Notice of a Claim by XRG against the Shareholders
must be sent to the Shareholders' Agent. Notice of a Claim against one or more
individual Shareholders based on a breach of the representations of such
Shareholder(s) contained in Section 3(i) shall be sent to the Shareholders'
Agent who shall promptly notify the Shareholder(s) that is the subject of the
Claim.

                        (iii) The recipient of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party,
shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim, give notice to the
claimant, the Indemnified Party, either that he or she accepts the Claim or
objects to the Claim. If no notice is given within such period, it shall be
conclusively presumed that the Indemnifying Party has accepted the Claim. If the
Indemnifying Party timely objects to the Claim, the parties shall negotiate in
good faith to determine the amount of the Claim.

                        (iv)  All notices under this Section shall be given as
provided in Section 10(g) of this Agreement.

            9.5   PAYMENT.

      (a)   To the extent that any Indemnifying Party shall be required to
indemnify any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9, such indemnification
obligation shall be satisfied for all purposes hereunder by delivering to such
Indemnified Party a cash payment or certificates, duly endorsed for transfer,
representing that number of XRG Common Shares, having a value, based on the
market value of XRG's common stock as determined pursuant to Section 2(b)
hereof, equal to the amount due such Indemnified Party hereunder. To the extent
that any Shareholder has insufficient shares of XRG Common Stock to satisfy any
indemnification obligation hereunder, such Shareholder shall satisfy the
remaining amount of such obligation by cash payment to XRG.

      (b)   In the event that a Shareholder (i) is or may be deemed to be
covered by Section 16 of the Exchange Act, (ii) has an indemnification
obligation which such Shareholder desires to pay in shares of XRG Common Stock
hereunder, and (iii) has, within six (6) months prior to the

                                       23
<PAGE>

time that such obligation arises, purchased any shares of XRG Common Stock, such
Shareholder shall be entitled to delay payment of his indemnification obligation
hereunder until after six (6) months have passed from the date of the last
purchase preceding the date on which the obligation arose if as a condition to
such postponement such Shareholder provides security for his obligations which
is reasonably satisfactory to XRG.

            9.6   NO WAIVER. The closing of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver by any party of its rights to
indemnification hereunder, regardless of whether the party seeking
indemnification has knowledge of the breach, violation or failure of condition
constituting the basis of the Claim at or before the Closing, and regardless of
whether such breach, violation or failure is deemed to be "material" for
purposes of Section 3.

            9.7   ADJUSTMENT OF LIABILITY. In the event an Indemnifying Party is
required to make any payment under this Article 9 in respect of any damages,
liability, obligation, loss, claim, or other amount indemnified hereunder, such
Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party an amount (the "Adjusted
Amount") which is equal to the sum of (i) the amount of such damages, liability,
obligation, loss, claim or other amount, minus (ii) the amount of any insurance
proceeds the Indemnified Party actually receives or is entitled to receive with
respect thereto, minus (iii) any third-party payments actually received by the
Indemnified Party with respect to such damages, liability, obligation, loss,
claim or other amount after demand or notice to such third party from the
Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party (with the consent of the Indemnified
Party which will not be unreasonably withheld), plus or minus, as the case may
be, (iv) the amount of the Net Tax Liability or Benefit (as hereinafter
defined). "Net Tax Liability or Benefit" shall be equal to the amount, if any
(and which may be a positive or negative amount), by which, the sum of all
federal, state, and local taxes, if any, required to be paid by such Indemnified
Party in respect of the receipt or accrual of the Adjusted Amount exceeds or is
less than the sum of (a) the value of any reduction in taxes of such Indemnified
Party by reason of deductions, credits or allowances in respect of the payment
or accrual of the damages, liability, obligation, loss, claim or other amount
included in clause (i) above recognized by such Indemnified Party in the same
year, or in a prior year, in which the taxes in respect of the receipt or
accrual by such Indemnified Party of the Adjusted Amount would be payable and
(b) the net present value of any reduction in taxes of such Indemnified Party by
reason of deductions, credits or allowances in respect of the payment or accrual
of the damages, liability, obligation, loss, claim or other amount included in
clause (i) above recognized by such Indemnified Party in years thereafter. The
net present value of any such reduction in taxes shall be determined by
discounting the amount of such reduction in taxes semi-annually from the date
such tax saving is recognized or reasonably expected to be recognized (which
shall be deemed to be the date the applicable tax return on which such tax
saving would be properly reflected is due, without extensions) to the date of
payment of the applicable indemnity by such Indemnifying Party, applying a
discount factor equal to the interest rate on federal income tax deficiencies in
effect at the time of such adjustment. For purposes of determining the amount of
any taxes required to be paid and any tax savings recognized or reasonably
expected to be recognized by such Indemnified Party hereunder, it shall be
assumed that such Indemnified Party is subject to tax in each applicable taxing
jurisdiction at the highest applicable marginal rate then in effect in such
jurisdiction.

            9.8   ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS. In the event XRG is indemnified by
Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(i) as a result of a breach of the representation
and warranty set forth in Section 3(k) hereof upon the failure of EFS to collect
any accounts receivable, the Accounts receivable represented by such
indemnification payment shall, upon receipt of such payment by XRG, be
transferred to Sellers, and Sellers shall have the continuing right to pursue
recovery from the obligor under such accounts receivable..

      10.   MISCELLANEOUS.

representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall

relate in any way to the subject matter hereof.

            (d)   Succession and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding

approval of the other Party or Parties.

            (e)   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together will constitute one and the same instrument.

            (f)   Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are

                  Clearwater, FL 33767

            Any Party may send any notice, request, demand, claim, or other
communication hereunder to the intended recipient at the address set forth above
using any other means (including personal delivery, expedited courier, messenger
service, telecopy, or ordinary mail), but no such notice, request, demand,

until it actually is received by the intended recipient. Any Party may change
the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims, and other
communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other Parties notice
in the manner herein set forth.

            (h)   Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without
giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the
State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

            (i)   Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this
Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Parties. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of

            (j)   Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is

            (l)   Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the
negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall
arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of
the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or
foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.
Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an
exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the Disclosure
Schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes
the relevant facts in reasonable detail. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item
shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or
warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the
existence of the document or other item itself). The Parties intend that each
representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent
significance.

            (m)   Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and
agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the
provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific
terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that
the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent any breach of the
provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the
terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the State
of Florida or the State of Tennessee, in addition to any other remedy to which
it may be entitled, at law or in equity.

            (n)   Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties submits to the
jurisdiction of the courts of both the State of Florida and/or the State of
Tennessee in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may
be heard and determined in any such court. Each party also agrees not to bring
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any
other court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety,
or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect
thereto. Any Party may make service on the other Party by sending or delivering
a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner
provided for the giving of notices in Section 10(g) above. Nothing in this
Section 10(n), however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal
process in any other manner permitted by law or in equity. Each Party agrees
that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive
and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
law or in equity

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of
the date first indicated above.
