to Landlord within said Ten (10) day period shall carry with it the same
consequences as failure to pay any installment of rental. Tenant, at its own
expense, shall install and maintain fire extinguishers and other fire protection
devices as may be required from time to time by any agency having jurisdiction

      O.    Destruction of Leased Premises.

            In the event the Premises shall be partially or totally destroyed as
the result of a peril insured against by the insurance policies carried by
Landlord and such damage renders the Premises partially or totally untenantable,
Landlord shall repair the Premises to the lesser of (i) with respect to the
Premises, the condition of the Premises inclusive of Landlord improvements, but
exclusive of Tenant improvements, as of lease commencement adjusted for ordinary
wear and tear; or (ii) the extent of the insurance proceeds actually received by
Landlord allocable to the Premises plus insurance proceeds received by Tenant
for the risks set forth herein, which Tenant shall promptly pay over to Landlord
to the extent of the costs incurred by Landlord in such repairs and
reconstruction in excess of the insurance proceeds, if any, received directly by
Landlord. Tenant's insurance carriers shall have not recourse against the
Landlord for reimbursement. The Fixed Minimum Rental and other charges shall be
abated in proportion to the amount of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable
until so repaired. If: (i) more than Twenty percent (20%) of the floor area of
the building in which the Leased Premises are located shall be damaged or
destroyed by fire or other insured casualty; or (ii) if there is less than Three
(3) years of the term of this Lease remaining; (iii) or if in Landlord's opinion
the Premises is so extensively or substantially damaged so that reconstruction
is impracticable; then Landlord may either elect that the Premises may be
repaired or rebuilt or, at its sole option, terminate this Lease by giving
Notice to Tenant of its election to so terminate, such Notice to be given within
Ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction, and
Tenant's obligations to pay rent shall cease as of such date. If Landlord is
required or elects to repair or rebuild the Leased Premises as herein provided,
Tenant shall repair or replace its merchandise, trade fixtures, furnishings, and
equipment in a manner and to at least a condition equal to that prior to its
damage or destruction. Tenant shall diligently undertake such repair or
replacement in cooperation with Landlord and shall complete such replacement or
repair no later than Thirty (30) days after Landlord notifies Tenant that the
Premises are ready for occupancy and all rent and other charges shall resume in
full as of such date. Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon an equitable
reduction in Rent in the event this Lease is not terminated and the Premises or
the Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed to such an extent that it
materially and adversely affects Tenant's business. Such abatement shall in no
event exceed the proportion of the square footage of the Premises which is not
tenantable.

      P.    Eminent Domain.

            If the whole of the Premises hereby leased shall be taken by any
public authority under the power of eminent domain, or by deed in lieu thereof,
then the term of this Lease shall cease as of the day possession shall be taken
by such public authority and the Rent and other charges due hereunder, shall be
paid up to that day with a proportionate refund by Landlord of such rent as may
have been paid in advance for a period subsequent to the date of the taking. If
less than the whole of the Premises shall be taken under eminent domain,
Landlord shall have the right either to terminate this Lease and declare same
void, or require Tenant to continue in the possession of the remainder of the
Premises if such can reasonably be accomplished. Landlord shall notify Tenant in
writing within Twenty (20) days after such taking of Landlord's intention.

                                       7
<PAGE>

If the Tenant is to remain in possession, all of the terms herein provided shall
continue in effect, except that the Fixed Minimum Annual Rental shall be reduced
in proportion to the amount of the Premises, if any, taken. If this Lease
continues, Landlord shall, at its expense, make all necessary repairs or
alterations to the basic building, as such existed at the Commencement Date,
subject to ordinary wear and tear since said date, so as to constitute the
remaining Leased Premises a complete architectural unit. However, in no event
shall Landlord bear the cost of Tenant's merchandise, trade fixtures,
furnishings, or operating equipment and personal property, such as signs, wall
coverings, carpeting, and drapes. All damages awarded for such taking under the
power of eminent domain, whether for the whole or a part of the Leased Premises,
shall belong to and be the property of Landlord whether such damages shall be
awarded as compensation for diminution in value to the leasehold or to the fee
of the Premises. The Tenant may pursue its own claims for damages with the
appropriate government authority so long as same does not interfere with, or in
any manner diminish, the award of Landlord.

      Q.    Default of the Tenant.

            (1) Definition of Event of Default. Each of the following shall be
deemed an event of default: (i) Tenant's failure to make payment of rent or
other charges as provided in this Lease; (ii) Tenant's failure to perform any of
the covenants, terms, conditions, or provisions of this Lease; (iii) If a
petition is filed by or against Tenant for relief under the bankruptcy laws, or
Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver
of any property of the Tenant be appointed in any action, suit, or proceeding by
or-against Tenant, or if Tenant shall admit that it is insolvent, or it is
generally not paying its debts as such debts become due, or if the interest of
Tenant in the premises shall be sold under execution or other legal process, or
if Tenant shall abandon the premises; (iv) Tenant vacates or abandons the
premises; (v) This Lease or the Premises or any part of the Premises are taken
upon execution or by other process of law directed against Tenant, or are taken
upon or subject to any attachment at the instance of any creditor or claimant
against Tenant, and the attachment is not discharged or disposed of within
Fifteen (15) days after its levy; (vi) Tenant is dissolved; (vii) Tenant fails
to take possession of the Premises on the Commencement Date as required
hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be
entitled to more than One (1) notice for monetary defaults during any Twelve
(12) month period, and if after such notice any rent is not paid when due, an
event of default will be considered to have occurred without further notice.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Landlord shall have the right to
terminate the Lease and shall be entitled to possession of the Premises.
Landlord may make its election to terminate known to Tenant by delivery of a
notice of termination. Such termination shall be immediately effective and
Landlord shall be entitled to forthwith commence an action in summary
proceedings to recover possession of the Premises, but such termination shall
not terminate Tenant's liabilities hereunder. Tenant waives all notice in
connection with such termination, including by way of illustration, but not
limitation, notice of intent to terminate, demand for possession or payment, and
notice of re-entry. No receipt of money by the Landlord From the Tenant after
the termination of this Lease shall reinstate, continue, or extend the term, nor
affect or waive any notice given by the Landlord to the Tenant prior to such
receipt of money.

            (2) Recovery of Damages Following Termination. Should Landlord at
any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies
it may have, it may recover From Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of
such breach, including the cost of recovering the Premises, reasonable
attorneys' fees, and damages equal to lost rent, all of which amounts shall be
immediately due and payable From Tenant to Landlord. Additionally, if Landlord
has incurred any costs or expenditures to fit the premises to the needs of
Tenant, Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord such costs and expenditures,
including for purposes of illustration but not by way of limitation,
expenditures for interior partitions, floor coverings, special paint, plaster,
or any counter, cabinet, shelving, paneling, or other special work done at the
request of Ten ant and not previously paid for by Tenant.

            (3) Right to Re-Enter. In the event of default is for the nonpayment
of rent, Landlord may, as an alternative to terminating the Lease, serve a
Notice for possession or payment. Unless the rent, additional rent, and any
other amounts due under this Lease are paid in accordance with the demand for
possession or payment, Landlord shall be entitled to possession of the Premises
and Tenant shall have no further right to possession under the Lease, but Tenant
shall not be relieved of any of its liability hereunder. Tenant shall remain
liable to Landlord for the payment of all rent and other charges which Tenant
has agreed to pay under this Lease throughout the remainder of its term. Should

necessary in order to relet the Premises, and relet said Premises or any part
thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the
term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and
conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable.

amounts payable under this Lease or as a result of any preceding breach of
covenants or conditions.

provided by this Lease shall be cumulative, and shall not be exclusive of any
other rights, remedies and benefits allowed by law.

            (5) Estoppel. The parties agree that they shall rely solely upon the
terms of this Lease to govern their relationship. They further agree that
reliance upon any representation, act, or omission outside the terms of this
Lease shall be deemed unreasonable, and shall not establish any rights or
obligations on the part of either party.

            (6) Independent Covenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to pay rent under this Lease
is an independent covenant, and that such obligation to pay rent is not subject
to set-off or

(hereinafter "Executive").

                                   WITNESSETH:

      XLIH desires to employ the Executive, and the Executive wishes to accept
such employment with XLIH, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

      Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective
covenants of the parties set forth herein, the parties, intending to be legally
bound, agree as follows:

      1. Employment. XLIH hereby employs the Executive and the Executive hereby
accepts employment by XLIH upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
All previous employment agreements or other terms and conditions of employment
between XLIH or XRG and the Executive are hereby terminated and are superseded
by this Agreement.

      2. Term. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 11 hereof, the term of the
Executive's employment by XLIH under this Agreement shall commence on the date
hereof and shall continue for a term of two (2) years ("Original Term").
Expiration of the Original Term shall not prevent XLIH from continuing the
Executive's employment beyond such expiration on such terms as may be mutually
satisfactory to XLIH and the Executive. The term of the Executive's employment
hereunder, including any extension beyond the Original Term, is hereinafter
referred to as the "Employment Period. "

      3. Duties. The Executive shall be employed as the Assistant General

such time and attention during normal business hours to the business of XLIH as
determined by the Board of Directors of XLIH. Nothing herein, however, shall
prevent the Executive from engaging in additional activities in connection with
personal investments and community affairs that do not interfere or conflict
with his duties hereunder.

      4. Base Compensation. The Executive shall be paid a salary at an annual
rate of Thirty Two Thousand dollars ($32,000.00) during the Original Term, which
shall be payable in installments in accordance with XLIH's customary payroll

      6. Expenses. Subject to compliance by the Executive with such policies
regarding expenses and expense reimbursement as may be adopted from time to time
by XLIH, the Executive is authorized to incur reasonable expenses in the
performance of his duties hereunder in furtherance of the business and affairs
of XLIH and XLIH will reimburse the Executive for all such reasonable expenses,
in all cases upon the presentation by the Executive of an itemized account
satisfactory to XLIH in substantiation of such expenses.

      7. Vacations. The Executive shall be entitled to paid vacations in
accordance with the policies of XLIH in effect, from time to time, as determined
by the Board of Directors of XLIH; but in any event, Executive shall be entitled
to not less than three (3) weeks per year of paid vacation.

      8. Other Employee Benefits. The Executive shall, during the Employment
Period, be eligible to participate in such pension, profit sharing, bonus, life
insurance, hospitalization and medical and other employee benefit plans of XLIH
which may be in effect from time to time to the extent he is eligible under the
terms of those plans; provided, however, that the allocation of benefits under
any bonus or other plan which provides that allocations thereunder shall be in
the discretion of the Board of Directors of XLIH and shall be as determined from
time to time solely by the Board of Directors. The Executive desires to waive
company health insurance.

      9. Termination.

      (a) The Employment Period, the Executive's compensation and any and all
other rights of the Executive under this Agreement or otherwise as an employee
of XLIH shall terminate (except as to compensation and rights accrued prior to
the effective date of such termination): (i) upon the death of the Executive;
(ii) upon fourteen (14) days prior written notice by XLIH to Executive in the
event of the physical or mental disability of the Executive (as defined in
Paragraph 11(b) below); (iii) for Cause (as defined in Paragraph 11(c) below),
immediately upon the giving of written notice thereof by XLIH to the Executive,
or at such later time as such notice may specify; or (iv) without Cause at any
time after the initial two-year term hereof, upon not less than sixty (60) days'
prior written notice by either the Executive or XLIH to the other party and
subject to Paragraph 11(d) below.

      (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive shall be deemed to have
a "physical or mental disability" if for medical reasons he has been unable to
perform his duties for thirty (30) consecutive days or ninety (90) days in any
12-month period, all as determined in good faith by a physician mutually
acceptable to Executive and the Board of Directors of XLIH.

      (c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Cause" shall be deemed to
mean the Executive's conviction of any crime (felony or class 8 misdemeanor),

      (d) In the event the Employment Period is terminated by XLIH for any
reason other than for Cause or for the death or the physical or mental
disability of the Executive, XLIH shall pay to the Executive, as XLIH's sole and
exclusive obligation related to such termination, the compensation and annual
bonuses provided for in this Agreement as described in paragraphs 4, and 5, for

      (e) Executive may terminate his employment for good reason. For purposes

material provision of this Agreement, which failure is not cured within fourteen
(14) days after a written notice of noncompliance has been given by Executive to
XLIH.

      10. Non-Disclosure Covenant. The Executive acknowledges that (i) during
the Employment Period and as a part of his employment, the Executive will be
afforded access to Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined); (ii)
public disclosure of Confidential Information could have a material adverse
impact on XRG, on XLIH or on the other subsidiaries of XRG (hereinafter "XRG
COMPANIES") and their respective businesses; (iii) the Executive possesses
substantial technical expertise and skill with respect to the business of the
XRG Companies; and (iv) XRG has required the Executive to make the covenants set
forth in this Section 10 as a condition to its purchase of Highbourne

that the provisions of this Section 10 are reasonable and necessary with respect
to the use of Confidential Information.

      As used in this Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" shall mean
agency owner operator or driver lists or information, inventions and
improvements, ideas, plans, processes, techniques, technology, customer lists,
business methods, trade secrets as defined under applicable law, and other
information developed or acquired by or on behalf of the XRG Companies which
relate to or affect any aspect of the business of the XRG Companies.
Confidential Information shall not include information that becomes generally
known to the public through no act of Executive in breach of this Agreement

      In consideration of the foregoing and of continued employment of the
Executive by XLIH and the compensation and benefits paid or provided, and to be
paid or provided, to the Executive by XLIH, the Executive hereby covenants and
agrees as follows:

      Both during and after the Employment Period, the Executive shall not,
without XLIH's prior written consent, disclose to any third party, or use for
any purpose other than for the exclusive benefit of the XRG Companies, any
Confidential Information.

      The Executive agrees that disclosures made by the XRG Companies to
governmental authorities, to their customers or potential customers, to their
suppliers or potential suppliers, to their employees or potential employees, to
their consultants or potential consultants or disclosures made by the XRG
Companies in any litigation or administrative or governmental proceedings shall

<PAGE>

      The Executive shall not remove from the premises of the XRG Companies,
except when appropriate to the pursuit of their business, any document, record,
notebook, plan, model, component, or device. The Executive recognizes that, as
between the XRG Companies and the Executive, all such documents, records,
notebooks, plans, models, components or devices, whether or not developed by the
Executive, are the exclusive property of the XRG Companies. In the event of
termination of the Executive's employment with XLIH, or upon the earlier request
of any of the XRG Companies during the Employment Period, the Executive shall
return to the XRG Companies all documents, records, notebooks, plans, models,
components, and devices in the Executive's possession or subject to the
Executive's control. The Executive shall not retain any copies, abstracts,
sketches or other physical embodiment of any such document, record, notebook,
plan, model, component or device. The Executive agrees that all agency or
brokerage business introduced to any XRG Companies by either the Executive or
any associate or employee introduced by the Executive and which the Employee's
compensation is derived, shall remain the property of any XRG Companies as long
as the Employee is being compensated by any XRG Companies, including any
severance compensation.

      11. Covenant Not to Compete; Non-Interference.

      (a) The Executive acknowledges that the services to be performed under
this Agreement are of a special and unique character, that the businesses of the
XRG Companies are national in scope, that their services are marketed throughout
the United States, and that the XRG Companies compete with other organizations
that are or could be located in any part of the United States. The Executive
further acknowledges that XRG requires the Executive to agree to the provisions
of this Section 13 as a condition to its purchase of Highbourne Corporation. In
consideration of the foregoing, and in consideration of his continued employment
by XLIH, the Executive hereby covenants and agrees that he shall not:

      (i) during the Employment Period, and for a period of one (1) year
thereafter, directly or indirectly engage or invest in, own, manage, operate,
control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, be
employed, associated or in any manner connected with, or render services or
advice to, any business whose services or activities compete, in whole or in
part, with the services or activities of the XRG Companies within the
geographical territories within the United States in which the XRG Companies at
any time during the Employment Period conduct their respective businesses;

      (ii) whether for the Executive's own account or for the account of any
other person, at any time during the Employment Period, and for a period of one
(1) year thereafter, solicit the business of any person or entity known by the
Executive to be a customer of the XRG Companies, whether or not the Executive
had personal contact with such person or entity during his employment with XLIH;
and

      (iii) whether for the Executive's own account or the account of any other
person at any time during the Employment Period and for a period of one (1) year
thereafter, solicit, employ or otherwise engage as an employee, independent
contractor

  Page 4

<PAGE>

or otherwise, any person who is or was an employee of any of the XRG Companies
during the Executive's Employment Period, or in any manner induce or attempt to
induce any employee of any of the XRG Companies to terminate his/her employment
with such company.

      It is understood by and between the parties hereto that the foregoing
covenants by the Executive set forth in this Section 11 are essential elements
of this Agreement and that but for the agreement of the Executive to comply with
such covenants, XLIH would not have entered into this Agreement. XLIH and the
Executive have independently consulted their respective counsel and have been
advised in all respects concerning the reasonableness and propriety of such
covenants, with specific regard to the nature of the businesses conducted by the
XRG Companies.

      (b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
restrictions set forth in Section 11(a) hereof shall not apply in the event that
XLIH terminates the Employment Period during the Original Term for any reason
other than for Cause or the physical or mental disability of the Executive.

      (c) Notwithstanding that the Executive's employment hereunder may expire
or be terminated as provided in Section 9 hereof, this Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect insofar as is necessary to enforce the covenants and
agreements of the Executive contained in Section 14.

      12. Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges that the damages that
would be suffered by the XRG Companies as a result of a breach of the provisions
of Section 12 or 13 of this Agreement may not be calculable, and that an award
of a monetary judgment to any of the XRG Companies for such a breach would be an
inadequate remedy. Consequently, any of the XRG Companies shall have the right,
in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain, in any court of
competent jurisdiction, injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened
breach hereof or otherwise to specifically enforce any of the provisions of this
Agreement and such company shall not be obligated to post bond or other security
in seeking such relief.

      13. Definition of "person." The term "person" shall mean any individual,
corporation, firm, association, partnership, limited liability company or other
legal entity or other form of business organization.

      14. Compliance with Other Agreements. The Executive represents and
warrants that the execution and delivery by the Executive of this Agreement and
the performance by the Executive of his obligations hereunder will not, with or
without the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, (i) violate any
judgment, writ, injunction or order of any court, arbitrator or governmental
agency applicable to the Executive; or (ii) conflict with, result in the breach
of any provisions of or the termination of, or constitute a default under, any
agreement to which the Executive is a party or by which he is or may be bound.

      15. Waiver of Breach. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach.

      16. Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective
successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives, including, without
limitation, any entity with which XLIH may merge or consolidate or to which it
may transfer all or substantially all of its assets. Insofar as the Executive is
concerned, this Agreement, being personal, may not be assigned.

      17. Notices. All notices and other communications which are required or
may be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given when delivered in person or three (3) days after being
mailed by registered or certified first class mail, postage prepaid.

      18. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement contains the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not
be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party
against whom any waiver, change, amendment, modification or discharge is sought.

      19. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall
be declared invalid or unenforceable, any such provision or provisions shall be
deemed severed from the remainder of the provisions contained herein which shall
otherwise remain in full force and effect.

      20. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida
without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The
Executive hereby submits to the jurisdiction and venue of the Circuit Court of
the State of Florida for the County of Hillsborough or the United States
District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, for purposes
of any legal action related hereto. The Executive agrees that service upon him
in any such action may be made by first class mail, certified or registered.

      21. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of
or relating to this Agreement (except for matters covered by Section 14 hereof)
shall be settled by arbitration by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA")
in accordance with the then current rules in effect governing arbitration of
such matters. The arbitration shall be conducted in Tampa, Florida by three (3)
independent and impartial arbitrators. The award rendered by the arbitrators
shall be final and a judgment may be entered upon it according to applicable law
in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrators shall, in the award, allocate
the costs and expenses of the arbitration, including AAA fees and expenses,
arbitrator compensation and expenses, the cost of any court reporter or
stenographer employed by the parties and the reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses of the parties.
