                            STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated October 30, 1998, and
effective as of October 1, 1998, by and among ABR Information Services, Inc., a
Florida corporation ("Buyer"), Western Pension Service Corporation, a
California corporation ("Company"), and Robert A. Jocelyn ("Shareholder").

                                    RECITALS

     1. Company is engaged in the business of providing retirement (including
401(k)) plan administration and consulting services to third parties (the
"Company Business").  Shareholder owns all of the issued and outstanding shares
(the "Shares") of capital stock of Company.

     2. Company's facilities consist solely of leased offices at 1000 Fourth
Street, Suite 300, San Rafael, California (the "Facilities").

     3. Buyer desires to purchase the Shares from Shareholder and Shareholder
desires to sell the Shares to Buyer, upon the terms and conditions herein set
forth.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective
representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions hereinafter
set forth, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree
as follows.

    1.   PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, effective as of the
Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) Shareholder shall sell to Buyer and
Buyer shall purchase from Shareholder all of the Shares.

    2.   PURCHASE PRICE - PAYMENT

         2.1. Purchase Price.

              2.1.(a) Amount.  The aggregate purchase price (the "Purchase
         Price") payable for the Shares shall be the sum of (a) SEVEN MILLION
         DOLLARS ($7,000,000) and (b) a contingent payment (the "Contingent
         Payment") based on the Company Business' net earnings before income
         taxes ("Pre-Tax Earnings") for the twelve-month period commencing as
         of October 1, 1998 (the "Contingent Payment Period").

              2.1.(b) Calculation of Contingent Payment.  The Contingent
         Payment shall equal (i) ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000), in the event
         the Company Business' Pre-Tax Earnings for the Contingent Payment
         Period equals or exceeds $1,200,000.  No Contingent Payment shall be
         due or payable




<PAGE>   6


         in the event the Company Business' Pre-Tax Earnings for the Contingent
         Payment Period is less than $1,200,000.

              2.1.(c) Calculation of Pre-Tax Earnings.  The calculation of the
         Company Business' Pre-Tax Earnings for the Contingent Payment Period
         shall include revenue received from retirement plan administration and
         consulting services but shall not include revenue received from COBRA
         administration services or other services not performed by Company as
         of the date hereof but offered by Buyer or any of its subsidiaries or
         affiliates.  Except as expressly provided herein, the calculation of
         Pre-Tax Earnings shall be made in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles applied on a consistent basis, subject to the
         following adjustments:

                   (i) Any depreciation or amortization adjustments resulting
              solely from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall
              not be included for purposes of calculating Pre-Tax Earnings for
              the Contingent Payment Period.

                   (ii) Notwithstanding Company's actual expenses for the
              Contingent Payment Period relating to items and functions (such
              as property and casualty insurance, errors and omissions
              insurance, health and welfare programs and human resource
              functions) that Company and Buyer mutually agree shall be
              provided by Buyer or another subsidiary thereof, Company shall
              accrue as an expense for purposes of calculating Pre-Tax Earnings
              for the Contingent Payment Period the same dollar amount as it
              accrued in the twelve months preceding the Effective Date with
              respect to such items and functions.

                   (iii) The calculation of Pre-Tax Earnings for the Contingent
              Payment Period shall not exclude any expense item (or series of
              related items) relating to personnel matters or, in the case of
              non-personnel matters, exceeding $10,000 annually, unless such
              exclusion has been preapproved in writing by an officer of Buyer.

                   (iv) Company shall review with Buyer on a monthly basis any
              and all expense items Company intends to exclude for purposes of
              calculating Pre-Tax Earnings for the Contingent Payment Period.

                   (v) In the event Buyer (or any subsidiary thereof) generates
              new retirement plan administration or consulting services
              business for Company during the Contingent Payment Period, and/or
              Company generates new COBRA or pension administration services
              business (or other new business for similar administrative
              services not performed by Company as of the date hereof), Buyer
              and Company agree to make a reasonable allocation of sales and
              other reasonable costs associated with


                                       2



<PAGE>   7


              obtaining such new business for purposes of calculating Company's
              Pre-Tax Earnings for the Contingent Payment Period.

                   (vi) The imputed interest expense on the Buyer Loan (as
              hereinafter defined) shall be included in the calculation of
              Pre-Tax Earnings for the Company Business for the Contingent
              Payment Period.

              2.1.(d) Buyer Loan.  Buyer agrees to loan Company on the Closing
         Date the sum of $68,906.21 (including the aggregate amount paid by
         Buyer to Metro Commerce Bank), and thereafter prior to the end of the
         Contingent Payment Period such additional amounts as may be reasonably
         necessary to provide working capital for Company during the Contingent
         Payment Period.  The loan(s) described in this Section 2.1(d) are
         referred to herein collectively as the "Buyer Loan."  The proceeds of
         the Buyer Loan (other than the aggregate amount paid by Buyer to Metro
         Commerce Bank) shall be used solely as working capital for Company
         during the Contingent Payment Period.  The Buyer Loan shall be repaid
         in full by Company to Buyer during the Contingent Payment Period.  To
         the extent that it is repaid after such time, the unpaid principal
         balance in excess of $50,000 as of the end of the Contingent Payment
         Period shall be charged in full against the Company Business' Pre-Tax
         Earnings for the Contingent Payment Period.

              2.1.(e) Interest on Buyer Loan.  The calculation of the Company
         Business' Pre-Tax Earnings for the Contingent Payment Period shall
         include an imputed interest expense to Company equal to interest
         calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the Buyer Loan
         which remains unpaid from time to time, at the rate announced from
         time to time by NationsBank N.A. (or its successor) as its prime rate.
         Interest on the Buyer Loan calculated under this Section 2.1(e) shall
         commence on the date the Buyer Loan is made to Company and continue
         until the Buyer Loan is repaid in full.

     2.2. Payment of Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price shall be paid by Buyer
as follows:

              2.2.(a) Cash to Shareholder.  At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver
         to the Shareholder the sum of Six Million Five Hundred Thousand
         Dollars ($6,500,000).

              2.2.(b) Contingent Payment.  The initial calculation of the
         Contingent Payment shall be made by Buyer, which shall deliver its
         calculation on or before January 2, 2000 to Shareholder for his review
         and comment.  If Buyer and Shareholder are able to agree in writing
         upon the amount of the Continent Payment within fifteen (15) days
         following delivery of the initial calculation to Shareholder, then
         Buyer shall pay such amount.  Such payment of the Contingent Payment,
         if any, shall be made to the Shareholder within fifteen (15) days
         following the date of such written agreement; provided, however, that


                                       3



<PAGE>   8


         in no event shall payment of the Contingent Payment, if any, be made
         to the Shareholder prior to January 4, 2000.  In the event Buyer and
         Shareholder cannot agree on the amount of the Contingent Payment by
         February 1, 2000, then the determination of the Contingent Payment
         shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with Article 9
         of this Agreement.

              2.2.(c) Purchase Price Holdback.

                   (i) On the Closing Date, Buyer will transfer the sum of Five
              Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) to a segregated
              interest-bearing account with a bank or other financial
              institution with a combined capital and surplus in excess of
              $50,000,000, which amount shall be held by Buyer in such account
              for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of
              Company and Shareholder under this Agreement.  For purposes
              hereof, "Holdback Period" shall mean the period commencing on the
              date hereof and ending on April 1, 1999, subject to extension as
              hereinafter provided.

                   (ii) If, prior to the expiration of the Holdback Period,
              Buyer determines to assert a claim for indemnification under
              Article 6 of this Agreement, then Buyer shall give the
              Shareholder written notice of such claim (for purposes of this
              Section 2.2(c), a "Claim Notice"), specifying in reasonable
              detail the basis therefor and the amount and calculation thereof.
              If the Shareholder does not deliver to Buyer written notice of
              an objection to the claim for indemnification within twenty (20)
              days after receipt of the Claim Notice relating thereto, Buyer
              shall be entitled to withdraw the dollar amount of its claim (as
              set forth in the Claim Notice) from the segregated account.  If
              the Shareholder shall timely deliver to Buyer such written notice
              of objection, then Buyer shall not make a withdrawal from the
              segregated account with respect to the claim set forth in the
              Claim Notice until:  (x) Buyer and Shareholder have executed
              joint written instructions referring to such Claim Notice and
              directing Buyer to withdraw, for Buyer's own account, funds from
              the segregated account; or (y) Buyer has received a copy of a
              judgment, decree or order of a court, or copy of an arbitration
              award, adjudicating the dispute with respect to such claim for
              indemnification; whereupon Buyer shall withdraw from the
              segregated account, for Buyer's own account, such amount as
              provided therein.

                   (iii) If Buyer has not delivered a Claim Notice to
              Shareholder prior to the expiration of the Holdback Period, or if
              any and all Claim Notices delivered to Shareholder during the
              Holdback Period have been resolved pursuant to subsection (ii)
              above, then Buyer shall deliver to Shareholder the portion of the
              funds held in the segregated account equal to (x) $500,000, less
              (y) any amounts withdrawn by Buyer as provided

                                       4



<PAGE>   9
              herein, plus (z) any interest earned with respect to such amount.
              Buyer shall deliver such amount to the Shareholder promptly
              after the expiration of the Holdback Period, unless one or more
              Claim Notice(s) have not been finally resolved pursuant to
              subsection (ii) above, in which case Buyer shall retain such
              amount in the segregated account until: (a) Buyer and Shareholder
              have executed joint written instructions referring to such Claim

         Balance Sheet), municipal and zoning ordinances and easements for
         public utilities, none of which interfere with the use of the property
         as currently utilized.  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.11, none of
         Company's assets, business or properties are subject to any
         restrictions with respect to the transferability thereof; and the
         Company's title thereto will not be affected in any way by the
         transactions contemplated hereby.

              3.11.(b) Condition.  All property and assets owned or utilized by
         Company are in good operating condition and repair, free from any
         defects (except such minor defects as do not interfere with the use
         thereof in the conduct of the normal operations of Company), have been
         maintained consistent with the standards generally followed in the
         industry and are sufficient to carry on the business of Company as
         conducted during the preceding 12 months.  All buildings, plants and
         other structures owned or otherwise utilized by Company are in good
         condition and repair and have no structural defects or defects
         affecting the plumbing, electrical, sewerage, or heating, ventilating
         or air conditioning systems.

              3.11.(c) Real Property. Company does not own any real property.
         The only real property used or occupied by Company (the "Real
         Property") is leased from an unaffiliated third-party lessor, and
         Schedule 3.11.(c) sets forth the material terms of such lease.  To the
         best of Company's and Shareholder's knowledge, there are now in full
         force and effect duly issued certificates of occupancy permitting the
         Real Property and improvements located thereon to be legally used and
         occupied as the same are now constituted.  To the best of the
         Company's and the Shareholder's knowledge, all of the Real Property
         has permanent rights of access to dedicated public highways.  Neither
         Company nor Shareholder has notice or knowledge of any (i) fact or
         condition which would prohibit or adversely affect the ordinary rights
         of access to and from the Real Property from and to the existing
         highways and roads and/or (ii) pending or threatened restriction or
         denial, governmental or otherwise, upon such ingress and egress.
         Neither Company nor Shareholder has notice or knowledge of any (i)
         planned or proposed increase in assessed valuations of any Real
         Property, (ii) Order requiring repair, alteration, or correction of
         any existing condition affecting any Real Property or the systems
         or improvements thereat, (iii) condition or defect which could give
         rise to an order of the sort referred to in "(ii)" above, (iv)
         underground storage tanks, or any structural, mechanical, or other
         defects of material significance affecting any Real Property or the
         systems 

                                       13


<PAGE>   18




         or improvements thereat (including, but not limited to, inadequacy for
         normal use of mechanical systems or disposal or water systems at or
         serving the Real Property), or (v) work that has been done or labor or
         materials that has or have been furnished to any Real Property during
         the period of six (6) months immediately preceding the date of this
         Agreement for which liens could be filed against any of the Real
         Property.

              3.11.(d) No Condemnation or Expropriation.  Neither the whole nor
         any portion of the property or any other assets of Company is subject
         to any Order to be sold or is being condemned, expropriated or
         otherwise taken by any Government Entity with or without payment of
         compensation therefor, nor to the best of Company's and Shareholder's
         knowledge has any such condemnation, expropriation or taking been
         proposed.

     3.12. Insurance.  Set forth in Schedule 3.12 is a complete and accurate
list and description of all policies of fire, liability, errors and omissions,
electronic data processing, workers compensation, health and other forms of
insurance presently in effect with respect to the business and properties of
Company, true and correct copies of which have heretofore been delivered to
Buyer.  Schedule 3.12 includes, without limitation, the carrier, the
description of coverage, the limits of coverage, retention or deductible
amounts, amount of annual premiums, retroactive date of coverage, date of
expiration and the date through which premiums have been paid with respect to
each such policy, and any pending claims in excess of $5,000.  All such
policies are valid, outstanding and enforceable policies and provide insurance
coverage for the properties, assets and operations of Company, of the kinds, in
the amounts and against the risks customarily maintained by organizations
similarly situated; and no such policy (nor any previous policy) provides for
or is subject to any currently enforceable retroactive rate or premium
adjustment, loss sharing arrangement or other actual or contingent liability
arising wholly or partially out of events arising prior to the date hereof.
Schedule 3.12 indicates each policy as to which (a) the coverage limit has been
reached or (b) the total incurred losses to date equal 75% or more of the
coverage limit.  No notice of cancellation or termination has been received
with respect to any such policy, and neither Company nor any Shareholder has
knowledge of any act or omission of Company which could result in cancellation
of any such policy prior to its scheduled expiration date.  Company has not
been refused any insurance with respect to any aspect of the operations of the
business nor has its coverage been limited by any insurance carrier to which it
has applied for insurance or with which it has carried insurance during the
last three years.  Company has duly and timely made all claims it has been
entitled to make under each policy of insurance.  There is no claim by Company
pending under any such policies as to which coverage has been questioned,
denied or disputed by the underwriters of such policies, and neither Company
nor Shareholder knows of any basis for denial of any claim under any such
policy.  Company has not received any written notice from or on behalf of any
insurance carrier issuing any such policy that insurance rates therefor will
hereafter be substantially increased (except to the extent that insurance rates
may be increased for all similarly situated risks) or that there will hereafter
be a cancellation or an increase in a deductible (or an increase in premiums in
order to maintain an existing deductible) or nonrenewal of any such policy.
Such policies are sufficient in all material respects for


                                       14


<PAGE>   19




compliance by Company with all requirements of law and with the requirements of
all material contracts to which Company is a party.  All general liability
policies maintained by or for the benefit of Company since its inception have
been "occurrence" policies and not "claims made" policies (except for Company's
errors and omissions policies, which have been "claims made" and not
"occurrence" policies).

         customers which aggregate in excess of $ 50,000 to any one customer
         (or group of affiliated customers).  Company has no sales contracts or
         commitments except those made in the ordinary course of business, at
         arm's length, and no such contracts or commitments are for a sales
         price which would result in a loss to the Company.

              3.13.(e) Contracts With Affiliates and Certain Others.  Company
         has no agreement, understanding, contract or commitment (written or
         oral) with any Affiliate or any employee, agent, consultant,

         in Schedule 3.13.(g), Company is not a party to any collective
         bargaining agreements with any unions, guilds, shop committees or
         other collective bargaining groups.  Copies of all such agreements
         have heretofore been delivered to Buyer.


                                       15


<PAGE>   20





              3.13.(h) Loan Agreements.  Except as set forth in Schedule
         3.13.(h), Company is not obligated under any loan agreement,
         promissory note, letter of credit, or other evidence of indebtedness
         as a signatory, guarantor or otherwise.

              3.13.(i) Guarantees.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.13.(i),
         Company has not guaranteed the payment or performance of any person,
         firm or corporation, agreed to indemnify any person or act as a
         surety, or otherwise agreed to be contingently or secondarily liable
         for the obligations of any person.

              3.13.(j) Contracts Subject to Renegotiation.  Company is not a
         party to any contract with any governmental body which is subject to
         renegotiation.

              3.13.(k) Burdensome or Restrictive Agreements.  Company is not a
         party to nor is it bound by any agreement, deed, lease or other
         instrument which is so burdensome as to materially affect or impair
         the operation of Company.  Without limiting the generality of the
         foregoing, Company is not a party to nor is it bound by any agreement
         requiring Company to assign any interest in any trade secret or
         proprietary information, or prohibiting or restricting Company from
         competing in any business or geographical area or soliciting customers
         or otherwise restricting it from carrying on its business anywhere in
         the world.

              3.13.(l) Other Material Contracts.  Company has no lease,
         contract or commitment of any nature involving consideration or other
         expenditure in excess of $ 25,000, or involving performance over a
         period of more than three months, or which is otherwise individually
         material to the operations of Company, except as explicitly described
         in Schedule 3.13.(l).

              3.13.(m) No Default.  Company is not in default under any lease,
         contract or commitment, nor has any event or omission occurred which
         through the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
         constitute a default thereunder or cause the acceleration of any of
         Company's obligations or result in the creation of any Lien on any of
         the assets owned, used or occupied by Company.  No third party is in
         default under any lease, contract or commitment to which Company is a
         party, nor has any event or omission occurred which, through the
         passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a
         default thereunder or give rise to an automatic termination, or the
         right of discretionary termination, thereof.

         welfare, disability, group insurance, stock purchase, stock option,
         stock appreciation, stock bonus, executive or deferred compensation,

         "golden parachutes," collective bargaining agreements, severance
         agreements or plans, vacation and sick leave plans, programs,
         arrangements and policies, including, without limitation, all
         "employee benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee
         Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")), all
         employee manuals, and all written or binding oral statements of
         policies, practices or understandings relating to employment, which
         are provided to, for the benefit of, or relate to, any persons
         ("Company Employees") employed by Company.  The items described in the
         foregoing sentence are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively
         as "Employee Plans/Agreements," and each individually as an "Employee
         Plan/Agreement." True and correct copies of all the Employee
         Plans/Agreements, including all amendments thereto, have heretofore
         been provided to Buyer.  Each of the Employee Plans/Agreements is
         identified on Schedule 3.15.(a), to the extent applicable, as one or
         more of the following:  an "employee pension benefit plan" (as defined
         in Section 3(2) of ERISA), a "defined benefit plan" (as defined in
         Section 414 of the Code), an "employee welfare benefit plan" (as
         defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), and/or as a plan intended to be
         qualified under Section 401 of the Code.  No Employee Plan/Agreement
         is a "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 4001 of ERISA), and
         Company has never contributed nor been obligated to contribute to any
         such multiemployer plan.

              3.15.(b) Terminations, Proceedings, Penalties, etc.  With respect
         to each employee benefit plan (including, without limitation, the
         Employee Plans/Agreements) that is subject to the provisions of Title
         IV of ERISA and


                                       17

         with respect to which the Company or any of its assets may, directly
         or indirectly, be subject to any Liability, contingent or otherwise,
         or the imposition of any Lien (whether by reason of the complete or
         partial termination of any such plan, the funded status of any such
         plan, any "complete withdrawal" (as defined in Section 4203 of ERISA)
         or "partial withdrawal" (as defined in Section 4205 of ERISA) by any
         person from any such plan, or otherwise):

                   (i) no such plan has been terminated so as to subject,
              directly or indirectly, any assets of Company to any liability,
              contingent or otherwise, or the imposition of any lien under
              Title IV of ERISA;

                   (ii) no proceeding has been initiated or threatened by any
              person (including the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
              ("PBGC")) to terminate any such plan;

                   (iii) no condition or event currently exists or currently is
              expected to occur that could subject, directly or indirectly, any
              assets of Company to any liability, contingent or otherwise, or
              the imposition of any lien under Title IV of ERISA, whether to
              the PBGC or to any other person or otherwise on account of the
              termination of any such plan;

                   (iv) if any such plan were to be terminated as of the
              Closing Date, no assets of Company would be subject, directly or
              indirectly, to any liability, contingent or otherwise, or the
              imposition of any lien under Title IV of ERISA;

                   (v) no "reportable event" (as defined in Section 4043 of
              ERISA) has occurred with respect to any such plan;

                   (vi) no such plan which is subject to Section 302 of ERISA
              or Section 412 of the Code has incurred any "accumulated funding
              deficiency" (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412
              of the Code, respectively), whether or not waived; and

                   (vii) no such plan is a multiemployer plan or a plan
              described in Section 4064 of ERISA.

              3.15.(c) Prohibited Transactions, etc.  There have been no
         "prohibited transactions" within the meaning of Section 406 or 407 of
         ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code for which a statutory or
         administrative exemption does not exist with respect to any Employee
         Plan/Agreement, and no event or omission has occurred in connection
         with which the Company or any of its assets or any Employee
         Plan/Agreement, directly or indirectly, could be subject to any
         liability under ERISA, the Code or any other Law or Order applicable
         to any Employee Plan/Agreement, or under any agreement, instrument,
         Law or Order pursuant to or under which Company has agreed to
         indemnify or is


                                       18


<PAGE>   23




         required to indemnify any person against liability incurred under any
         such Law or Order.

              3.15.(d) Full Funding.  The funds available under each Employee
         Plan/Agreement which is intended to be a funded plan exceed the
         amounts required to be paid, or which would be required to be paid if
         such Employee Plan/Agreement were terminated, on account of rights
         vested or accrued as of the Closing Date (using the actuarial methods
         and assumptions then used by Company's actuaries in connection with
         the funding of such Employee Plan/Agreement).

              3.15.(e) Controlled Group; Affiliated Service Group; Leased
         Employees.  Company is not and never has been a member of a controlled
         group of corporations as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code or in
         common control with any unincorporated trade or business as determined
         under Section 414(c) of the Code.  Company is not and never has been a
         member of an "affiliated service group" within the meaning of Section
         414(m) of the Code.  There are not and never have been any leased
         employees within the meaning of Section 414(n) of the Code who perform
         services for Company, and no individuals are expected to become leased
         employees with the passage of time.  Company has no liability, actual
         or contingent, under Title IX of ERISA.

              3.15.(f) Payments and Compliance.  With respect to each Employee
         Plan/Agreement, (i) all payments due from Company to date have been
         made and all amounts properly accrued to date as liabilities of
         Company which have not been paid have been properly recorded on the
         books of Company and are reflected in the Recent Balance Sheet; (ii)
         Company has complied with, and each such Employee Plan/Agreement
         conforms in form and operation to, all applicable laws and
         regulations, including but not limited to ERISA and the Code, in all
         respects and all reports and information relating to such Employee
         Plan/Agreement required to be filed with any governmental entity have
         been timely filed; (iii) all reports and information relating to each
         such Employee Plan/Agreement required to be disclosed or provided to
         participants or their beneficiaries have been timely disclosed or
         provided; (iv) each such Employee Plan/Agreement which is intended to
         qualify under Section 401 of the Code has received a favorable
         determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to
         such qualification, its related trust has been determined to be exempt
         from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code, and nothing has
         occurred since the date of such letter that has or is likely to
         adversely affect such qualification or exemption; (v) there are no
         actions, suits or claims pending (other than routine claims for
         benefits) or threatened with respect to such Employee Plan/Agreement
         or against the assets of such Employee Plan/Agreement; and (vi) no
         Employee Plan/Agreement is a plan which is established and maintained
         outside the United States primarily for the benefit of individuals
         substantially all of whom are nonresident aliens.

              3.15.(g) Post-Retirement Benefits.  No Employee Plan/Agreement
         provides benefits, including, without limitation, death or medical
         benefits (whether or not insured) with respect to current or former
         Company employees beyond their retirement or other termination of
         service other than (i) coverage mandated by applicable law, (ii) death
         or retirement benefits under any Employee Plan/Agreement that is an
         employee pension benefit plan, (iii) deferred compensation benefits
         accrued as liabilities on the books of Company (including the Recent
         Balance Sheet), (iv) disability benefits under any Employee Plan/

         fully provided for by insurance or otherwise or (v) benefits in the
         nature of severance pay.

              3.15.(h) No Triggering of Obligations.  The consummation of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (i) entitle any
         current or former employee of Company to severance pay, unemployment
         compensation or any other payment, except as expressly provided in
         this Agreement, (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or
         increase the amount of compensation due to any such employee or former
         employee or (iii) result in any prohibited transaction described in
         Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code for which an
         exemption is not available.

              3.15.(i) Delivery of Documents.  There has been delivered to
         Buyer, with respect to each Employee Plan/Agreement:

                   (i) a copy of the annual report, if required under ERISA,

(5) years, in which a party thereto either requests injunctive relief or

     3.24. Year 2000 Compliance.  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.24, to the

programs and other software of the Company (including machine readable code,
printed listings of code, databases, documentation and related property and
information of Company used or under development for use in the Company
Business) (collectively, "Software") accurately determines chronological dates
and accurately performs all calculations, data manipulations, sorting and
transmission of date data regardless of whether the date represents or
references


                                       23



<PAGE>   28




different centuries (For example, when the actual date changes from 12/31/1999
to 1/1/2000, the Software will accurately determine that 1/1/2000 is the new
date and determine that an individual born in 1948 is 52 years old and not -48
[i.e., 00-48 = -48], or otherwise incorrectly perform the age calculation); (b)
the Software provides that all date related user interface functionalities and
data fields permit the entry of a four digit year (i.e., the years 1965, 2065
and 3065 could all be entered by the user without the need of a manual
override) and such date data will result in accurate calculations, data
manipulations, sorting and transmission of all data, including the date data;
(c) the entry of a date equal to or greater than 01/01/2000 into the Software
will not affect any calculation that produces or uses time spans such that the
results of the calculation are incorrect (i.e., such as an interest
calculation); and (d) the integrity of calculations performed utilizing the
Software will not be affected by date data for dates on or after 01/02/2000,
and calculations using previously generated data (on or before 12/31/1999) will
also maintain calculation integrity.

     3.25. Systems Performance.  To the best of Company's and Shareholder's
knowledge, the Software and related systems owned or used by Company perform in
accordance with the written specifications previously delivered to Buyer and
the Software and related system components are capable of interconnecting
and/or interfacing with each other, and they deliver the functionality needed
to meet the information systems requirements of the Company Business as they
are presently conducted.  Shareholder will not cause any unplanned interruption
of the operations of, or accessibility to, the Software or related systems (or
any system component) through any device, method or means including, without
limitation, the use of any "virus," "lockup," "time bomb" or "key lock" device
or program, or disabling code, which has the potential or capability of causing
any unplanned interruption of the operations of, or accessibility of, the
Software or related systems (or any system component) to Buyer, or any user
authorized by Buyer, or which could alter, destroy or inhibit the use of the
Software or related systems (or any system component), or the data contained
therein (collectively, "Disabling Devices"), which could block access to or
prevent the use of the Software or any system (or system component) by Buyer or
any authorized user.  Shareholder has not placed, nor is Shareholder aware of,
any Disabling Device on any Software or system component owned or used by
Company.  There is no new version, update or release of any Software currently
being developed.

     3.26. Software Ownership; Non Infringement.  Except as set forth in
Schedule 3.26 hereto:

           (1) Company owns all right, title and interest in and to the
      Software;

           (2) Company has developed the Software entirely through its own
      efforts for its own account, and the Software is free and clear of all
      Liens of any nature whatsoever;

           (3) The Software does not infringe any patent, copyright or trade
      secret of any third party;

          

                                       24

           (4)  The Software is fully eligible for protection under the
      applicable copyright law and has not been forfeited to the public domain;

           (5) The source code and system specification of the Software have
      been maintained in confidence;

           (6) All personnel, including employees, agents, consultants and
      contractors, who have participated in the concept and the development of
      the Software either (a) have been party to a fore-hire relationship with
      Company that has accorded the Company full, effective and exclusive
      ownership of all tangible and intangible property thereby arising with
      respect to the Software, or (b) have executed appropriate instruments and
      assigns in favor of the Company as assignees and have conveyed to the
      Company full, effective and exclusive ownership of all tangible and
      intangible property thereby arising with respect to the Software;

           (7) Company has duly obtained the right and license to use, copy,
      modify and distribute the software components contained in the Software,
      the Software contains no other software components in which any third
      party may claim superior or joint ownership, and no Software is a
      derivative work of any software programs not owned by their entirety by
      Company;

           (8) Company has not granted any rights in the Software to any third
      party; and

           (9) The Software contains certain software components duly licensed
      to Company for inclusion in the Software, and the Software contains no
      other software components in which any third party may claim superior or
      joint ownership, nor is any Software a derivative work of any other
      software programs not owned in their entirety by Company.

      3.27. Disclosure.  No representation or warranty by Company and/or the
Shareholder in this Agreement, nor any statement, certificate, schedule,
document or exhibit hereto furnished or to be furnished by or on behalf of
Company or Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with
transactions contemplated hereby, contains or shall contain any untrue statement
of material fact or omits or shall omit a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained therein not misleading.  All statements and information
contained in any certificate, instrument, Disclosure Schedule or document

     5.     COVENANTS

     5.1. Employment and Noncompetition Agreement.  Contemporaneously with the
execution of this Agreement, Shareholder shall execute and deliver to Company
an Employment and Noncompetition Agreement, substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto.

     5.2. Noncompetition; Confidentiality.  As an inducement to Buyer to
execute this Agreement and complete the transactions contemplated hereby, and
in order to preserve the goodwill associated with the business of Company being

of any covenants contained in any agreement executed and delivered pursuant to

                 5.2.(a) Covenant Not to Compete.  For a period of three (3)
            years from the Closing Date, Shareholder will not directly or
            indirectly:

                       (i) engage in, continue in or carry on any business
                  which competes with Company or the Company Business or is
                  substantially similar thereto, including owning or
                  controlling any financial interest in any corporation,
                  partnership, firm or other form of business organization
                  which is so engaged;

                       (ii) consult with, advise or assist in any way, whether
                  or not for consideration, any corporation, partnership, firm
                  or other business organization which is now or becomes a
                  competitor of Company or Buyer (or any of its subsidiaries)
                  in any aspect with respect to the Company Business,
                  including, but not limited to, advertising or otherwise
                  endorsing the products of any such competitor; soliciting
                  customers or otherwise serving as an intermediary for any
                  such competitor; loaning money or rendering any other form of
                  financial assistance to or engaging in any form of business
                  transaction on other than an arm's length basis with any such
                  competitor;

                       (iii) offer employment to an employee of Company or the
                  Company Business, without the prior written consent of Buyer;
                  or

                       (iv) engage in any practice the purpose of which is to
                  evade the provisions of this covenant not to compete or to
                  commit any act which adversely affects the Company or the
                  Company Business;

            provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the
            ownership of securities of corporations which are listed on a
            national securities exchange or traded in the national
            over-the-counter market in an amount which shall not exceed 5% of
            the outstanding shares of any such corporation.  The parties agree
            that the geographic scope of this covenant not to compete shall
            extent to and cover the following states:  California, Oregon,
            Washington, Colorado and

            firm or entity that purchases all or part of the business of the
            Company.  In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines
            that the provisions of this covenant not to compete are excessively
            broad as to duration, geographical scope or activity, it is
            expressly agreed that this covenant not to compete shall be
            construed so that the remaining provisions shall not be affected,
            but shall remain in full force and effect, and any such over broad
            provisions shall be deemed, without further action on the part of
            any person, to be modified, amended and/or limited but only to the
            extent necessary to render the same valid and enforceable in such
            jurisdiction.

                 5.2.(b) Covenant of Confidentiality.  Shareholder shall not at
            any time subsequent to the Closing, except as explicitly requested
            by Buyer, (i) use for any purpose, (ii) disclose to any person, or
            (iii) keep or make copies of documents, tapes, discs or programs
            containing, any confidential information concerning Company.  For
            purposes hereof, "confidential information" shall mean and include,
            without limitation, all Trade Rights in which Company has an
            interest, all customer lists and customer information, and all
            other information concerning Company's processes, apparatus,
            equipment, packaging, products, marketing and distribution methods,
            not previously disclosed to the public directly by Company.

                 5.2.(c) Equitable Relief for Violations.  Shareholder agrees
            that the provisions and restrictions contained in this Section 5.2
            are necessary to protect the legitimate continuing interests of
            Buyer in acquiring the Shares, and that any violation or breach of
            these provisions will result in irreparable injury to Buyer for
            which a remedy at law would be inadequate and that, in addition to
            any relief at law which may be available to Buyer for such
            violation or breach and regardless of any other provision contained
            in this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive and other
            equitable relief as a court may grant after considering the intent
            of this Section 5.2.

     5.3. General Release.  Contemporaneously with the execution of this
Agreement, Shareholder shall deliver a general release to Buyer, in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

      6.   INDEMNIFICATION

     6.1. By Shareholder.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article
6, Shareholder hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its
directors, officers, employees and controlled and controlling persons
(hereinafter "Buyer's Affiliates") and the Company from and against all Claims
asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by Buyer, Buyer's
Affiliates or the Company, directly or indirectly, by reason of, arising out of

Article 6, the term "Claim" shall include (i) all debts, liabilities and
obligations; (ii) all losses, damages (including, without limitation,
consequential damages), judgments, awards, settlements, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, interest (including prejudgment interest in any
litigated matter), penalties, court costs and attorneys fees and expenses); and
(iii) all demands, claims, suits, actions, costs of investigation, causes of
action, proceedings and assessments, whether or not ultimately determined to be
valid.

     6.2. By Buyer.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 6,
Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Shareholder from and
against all Claims asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by
any such person, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from (a) the
inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in or
made pursuant to this Agreement, or (b) the breach of any covenant of Buyer
contained in this Agreement.

     6.3. Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.  The obligations and
liabilities of any party to indemnify any other under this Article 6 with
respect to Claims relating to third parties shall be subject to the following
terms and conditions:

                 6.3.(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, and
            the Indemnifying Party will undertake the defense thereof by
            representatives chosen by it.  Failure to give such notice shall
            not affect the Indemnifying Party's duty or obligations under this
            Article 6, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is
            prejudiced thereby.  So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending
            any such 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.

                 6.3.(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, the Indemnified Party will
            (upon further notice) 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 

                                       29

<PAGE>   34

            shall thereafter have no right to challenge the Indemnified
            Party's defense, compromise, settlement or consent to judgment
            therein.

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

     6.4. Payment.  The Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay the Indemnified
Party any amount due under this Article 6, which payment may be accomplished in
whole or in part, at the option of the Indemnified Party, by the Indemnified
Party setting off any amount owed to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified
Party.  To the extent set-off is made by an Indemnified Party in satisfaction
or partial satisfaction of an indemnity obligation under this Article 6 that is
disputed by the Indemnifying Party, upon a subsequent determination by final
judgment not subject to appeal that all or a portion of such indemnity
obligation was not owed to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall
pay the Indemnifying Party the amount which was set-off and not owed together
with interest from the date of set-off until the date of such payment at an
annual rate equal to the average annual rate in effect as of the date of the
set-off, on those three maturities of United States Treasury obligations having
a remaining life, as of such date, closest to the period from the date of the
set-off to the date of such judgment.  Upon judgment, determination, settlement
or compromise of any third party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay
promptly on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and/or to the Indemnified Party in
reimbursement of any amount theretofore required to be paid by it, the amount
so determined by judgment, determination, settlement or compromise and all
other Claims of the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, unless in the case
of a judgment an appeal is made from the judgment.  If the Indemnifying Party
desires to appeal from an adverse judgment, then the Indemnifying Party shall
post and pay the cost of the security or bond to stay execution of the judgment
pending appeal.  Upon the payment in full by the Indemnifying Party of such
amounts, the Indemnifying Party shall succeed to the rights of such Indemnified
Party, to the extent not waived in settlement, against the third party who made
such third party Claim.

     6.5. Indemnification for Environmental Matters.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Shareholder agrees to indemnify, reimburse, hold
harmless and defend Buyer, Buyer's affiliates and Company for, from, and
against all Claims asserted against, imposed on, or incurred by any such
person, directly or indirectly, in connection with any pollution, threat to the
environment, or exposure to, or manufacture, processing, distribution, use,
treatment, generation, transport or handling, disposal, emission, discharge,
storage or release of Waste that (A) is related in any way to Company's or any
previous



                                       30

owner's or operator's ownership, operation or occupancy of the business,
properties and assets owned or used by Company, and (B) in whole or in part
occurred, existed, arose out of conditions or circumstances that existed, or
was caused on or before the Closing Date.

     6.6. Limitations on Indemnification.  Except for any willful or knowing
breach or misrepresentation, as to which claims may be brought without
limitation as to time or amount:

              6.6.(a) Time Limitation.  No claim or action shall be brought
         under this Article 6 for breach of a representation or warranty after
         the lapse of two (2) years following the Closing.  Regardless of the
         foregoing, however, or any other provision of this Agreement:

                   (i) There shall be no time limitation on claims on actions
              brought for breach of any representation or warranty made by
              Shareholder or Company in or pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2,
              and Shareholder hereby waives all applicable statutory limitation
              periods with respect thereto.

                   (ii) Any claim or action brought for breach of any
              representation or warranty made by Shareholder with respect to
              tax or ERISA matters may be brought at any time until the
              underlying tax or ERISA obligation is barred by the applicable
              period of limitation under federal and state laws relating
              thereto (as such period may be extended by waiver).

                   (iii) Any claim made by a party hereunder by delivering
              written notice of the claim to the Indemnifying Party or Parties,
              by filing a suit or action in a court of competent jurisdiction
              or a court reasonably believed to be of competent jurisdiction or
              by a demand for arbitration in accordance with Article 9 hereof
              for breach of a representation or warranty prior to the
              termination of the survival period for such claim shall be
              preserved despite the subsequent termination of such survival
              period.

                   (iv) If any act, omission, disclosure or failure to
              disclosure shall form the basis for a claim for breach of more
              than one representation or warranty, and such claims have
              different periods of survival hereunder, the termination of the
              survival period of one claim shall not affect a party's right to
              make a claim based on the breach of representation or warranty
              still surviving.

              6.6.(b) Amount Limitation.  The aggregate amount of the
         indemnification obligations of Shareholder pursuant to this Article 6
         shall not exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000); provided, however,
         that the aggregate indemnification obligation shall be the Purchase
         Price on claims or 

                                      31

<PAGE>   36
         actions brought for breach of any representation or warranty made by
         the Shareholder in or pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.5 and 3.15.

         6.7. 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 9.2.

    9.   RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

         relating to this Agreement or any contract or agreement entered into
         pursuant hereto or the performance by the parties of its or their

         in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
         Arbitration Association then in effect, except as specifically
         otherwise provided in this Article 9.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
         Buyer may, in its discretion, apply to a court of competent
         jurisdiction for equitable relief from any violation or threatened
         violation of the covenants of Shareholder under Section 5.2 of this
         Agreement, or any covenants not to compete contained in any Employment
         and Noncompetition Agreement delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof.

              9.1.(b) No party shall be required to submit to arbitration
         hereunder unless all persons who are not parties to this Agreement,
         but who are necessary parties to a complete resolution of the
         controversy, submit to the


                                       34

<PAGE>   39




         arbitration process on the same terms as the parties hereto.  Without
         limiting the generality of the foregoing, no claim under Article 6 for
         the indemnification of a third-party claim shall be subject to
         arbitration under this Article 9 unless the third party bringing such
         claim against the indemnitee shall agree in writing to the application
         of this Article 9 to the resolution of such claim.

     9.2. Arbitrators.  If the matter in controversy (exclusive of attorney
fees and expenses) shall appear, as at the time of the demand for arbitration,
to exceed $250,000, then the panel to be appointed shall consist of three
neutral arbitrators; otherwise, one neutral arbitrator.

     9.3. Procedures; No Appeal.  The arbitrator(s) shall allow such discovery
as the arbitrator(s) determine appropriate under the circumstances and shall
resolve the dispute as expeditiously as practicable, and if reasonably
practicable, within 120 days after the selection of the arbitrator(s).  The
arbitrator(s) shall give the parties written notice of the decision, with the
reasons therefor set out, and shall have 30 days thereafter to reconsider and
modify such decision if any party so requests within 10 days after the
decision.  Thereafter, the decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final,
binding, and nonappealable with respect to all persons, including (without
limitation) persons who have failed or refused to participate in the
arbitration process.

     9.4. Authority.  The arbitrator(s) shall have authority to award relief
under legal or equitable principles, including interim or preliminary relief,
and to allocate responsibility for the costs of the arbitration and to award
recovery of attorneys fees and expenses in such manner as is determined to be
appropriate by the arbitrator(s).

     9.5. Entry of Judgment.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having in personam and subject matter
jurisdiction.  Buyer and each Shareholder hereby submit to the in personam
jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts in Florida, for the purpose of
confirming any such award and entering judgment thereon.

     9.6. Confidentiality.  All proceedings under this Article 9 and all
evidence given or discovered pursuant hereto, shall be maintained 
in confidence by all parties.

     9.7. Continued Performance.  The fact that the dispute resolution
procedures specified in this Article 9 shall have been or may be invoked shall
not excuse any party from performing its obligations under this Agreement and
during the pendency of any such procedure all parties shall continue to perform
their respective obligations in good faith, subject to any rights to terminate
this Agreement that may be available to any party and to the right of setoff
provided in Section 6.4 hereof.

     9.8. Tolling.  All applicable statutes of limitation shall be tolled while
the procedures specified in this Article 9 are pending.  The parties will take
such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.
