                   ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE SECURITY AGREEMENT

GENERALLY - This agreement secures this note and any other debt I have with you,
now  or  later. However, it will not secure other debts if you fail with respect
to  such  other  debts,  to  make  any  required  disclosure  about his security
agreement or if you fail to give any required notice of the right of rescission.
If  property  described  in  this  agreement  is  located in another state, this
agreement  may  also, in some circumstances, be governed by the law of the state
in  which  the  Property  is  located.
NAME  AND LOCATION - My name indicated on page 1 is my exact legal name. If I am
an  individual, my address is my principal residence. If I am not an individual,
my  address  is  the  location  of  my  chief executive offices or sole place of
business. If I am an entity organized and registered under state law, my address
is  located in the state in which I am registered, unless otherwise indicated on
page  2.  I  will  provide  verification  of registration and location upon your
request.  I will provide you with at least 30 days notice prior to any change in
my  name,  address,  or  state  of  organization  or  registration.
OWNERSHIP  AND  DUTIES  TOWARD  PROPERTY  -  I  represent  that I own all of the
Property,  or  to  the  extent this is a purchase money security interest I will
acquire  ownership  of the Property with the proceeds of the loan. I will defend
it against any other claim. Your claim to the Property is ahead of the claims of
any  other creditor. I agree to do whatever you require to protect your security
interest  and  to  keep  your claim in the Property ahead of the claims of other
creditors.  I  will  not  do  anything to harm your position. I will not use the
Property  for  a  purpose  that will violate any laws or subject the Property to
forfeiture  or  seizure.
     I  will keep books, records and accounts about the Property and my business
in  general. I will let you examine these records at any reasonable time. I will
prepare  any  report or accounting you request, which deals with the Property.
     I  will  keep the Property in my possession and will keep it in good repair
and use it only for the purpose(s) described on page 1 of this agreement. I will
not  change  this  specified  use  without  your  express  written permission. I
represent  that  I  am  the

<PAGE>
original owner of the Property and, if I am not, that I have provided you with a
list  of  prior  owners  of  the  Property.
     I  will keep the Property at my address listed on page 1 of this agreement,
unless we agree I may keep it at another location. If the Property is to be used
in another state, I will give you a list of those states. I will not try to sell
the  Property  unless it is inventory or I receive your written permission to do
so.  If I sell the Property I will have the payment made payable to the order of
you  and  me.
     You  may  demand  immediate  payment  of the debt(s) if the debtor is not a
natural person and without your prior written consent; (1) a beneficial interest
in  the  debtor  is  sold or transferred; or (2) there is a change in either the
identity  or  number  of  members  of a partnership; or (3) there is a change in
ownership  of  more  than  25  percent  of  the  voting  stock of a corporation.
     I  will  pay  all taxes and charges on the Property as they become due. You
have  the  right  of  reasonable  access  in  order  to  inspect the Property. I
immediately  inform  you  of  any  loss  or  damage  to  the  Property.
     If I fail to perform any of my duties under this security agreement, or any
mortgage, deed of trust, lien or other security interest, you may without notice
to  me  perform  the duties or cause them to be performed. Your right to perform
for  me  shall  not  create an obligation to perform and your failure to perform
will  not  preclude you from exercising any of your rights under the law or this
security  agreement.
PURCHASE  MONEY  SECURITY  INTEREST  -  For  the sole purpose of determining the
extent  of  a  purchase  money  security  interest  arising  under this security
agreement:  (a)  payments  on  any  nonpurchase  money loan also secured by this
agreement  will  not  be  deemed  to  apply  to the Purchase Money Loan, and (b)
payments  on  the  Purchase  Money  Loan  will  be  deemed to apply first to the
nonpurchase  money  portion  of the loan, if any, and then to the purchase money
obligations  in  the  order in which the items of collateral were acquired or if
acquired  at  the  same time, in the order selected by you. No security interest
will  be  terminated by application of this formula. "Purchase Money Loan" means
any  loan  the  proceeds  of which, in whole or in part, are used to acquire any
collateral  security  the  loan and all extensions, renewals, consolidations and
refinancing  of  such  loan.
PAYMENTS  BY  LENDER  - You are authorized to pay, on my behalf, charges I am or
may become obligated to pay to preserve or protect the secured property (such as
property  insurance  premiums). You may treat those payments as advances and add
them to the unpaid principal under the note secured by this agreement or you may
demand  immediate  payment  of  the  amount  advanced.
INSURANCE  -  I agree to buy insurance on the Property against the risks and for
the amounts you require and to furnish you continuing proof of coverage.  I will
have  the  insurance company name you as loan payee on any such policy.  You may
require  added  security  if  you  agree  that insurance proceeds may be used to
repair or replace the Property.  I will buy insurance from a firm licensed to do
business  in  the  sate  where  you  are  located.  The  firm will be reasonably
acceptable  to you.  The insurance will last until the Property is released from
this agreement.  If I fail to buy or maintain the insurance (or fail to name you
as  loss  payee)  you  may  purchase  it  yourself.
WARRANTIES  AND  REPRESENTATIONS  -  If this agreement includes accounts, I will
not  settle  any  account  for  less  than  its  full value without your written
permission.  I  will  collect  all accounts until you tell me otherwise.  I will
keep  the  proceeds from all the accounts and any goods which are returned to me
or  which  I  take  back  in  trust for you.  I will not mix them with any other
property of mine.  I will deliver them to you at your request.  If you ask me to
pay  you the full price on any returned items or items retaken by myself, I will
do  so.  You  may  exercise my rights with respect to obligations of any account
debtors,  or other persons obligated on the Property, to pay or perform, and you
may  enforce  any  security  interest  that  secures  such  obligations.
     If  this  agreement covers inventory, I will not dispose of it except in my
ordinary  course  of business at the fair market value for the Property, or at a
minimum  price  established  between  you  and  me.
     If this agreement covers farm products I will provide you, at your request,
a  written  list  of  the  buyers,  commission merchants or selling agents to or
through  whom I may sell my farm products. In addition to those parties named on
this  written  list,  I  authorize  you  to  notify  at your sole discretion any
additional  parties  regarding  your  security  interest  in my farm products. I
remain  subject  to  all  applicable  penalties  for selling my farm products in
violation of my agreement, with you and the Food Security Act. In this paragraph
the  terms  farm  products, buyers, commission merchants and selling agents have
the  meanings  given  to  them  in  the  Federal  Food  Security  Act  of  1985.
     If  this  agreement covers chattel paper or instruments, either as original
collateral or proceeds of the Property, I will note your interest on the face of
the  chattel  paper  or  instruments.
REMEDIES - I will be in default on this security agreement if I am in default on
any  note  this  agreement secures or if I fail to keep any promise contained in
the  terms  of  this  agreement.  If  I  default, you have all of the rights and
remedies  provided  in  the  note and under the Uniform Commercial Code. You may
require  me  to  make  the secured property available to you at a place which is
reasonably  convenient. You may take possession of the secured property and sell
it  as  provided by law. The proceeds will be applied first to your expenses and
then  to  the  debt.  I  agree that 10 days written notice sent to my last known
address  by  first  class  mail  will  be  reasonable  notice  under the Uniform
Commercial  Code.  My  current  address  is  on  page  1.
PERFECTION  OF SECURITY INTEREST - I authorize you to file a financing statement
coveting  the Property. I will comply with, facilitate, and otherwise assist you
in  connection  with  obtaining  possession  of or control over the Property for
purposes of perfecting your security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code.

                          ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE NOTE

DEFINITIONS - As used on pages 1 and 2, "[X]" means the terms that apply to this
loan.  "I,"  "me" or "my" means each Borrower who signs this note and each other
person  or  legal  entity  (including  guarantors,  endorsers, and sureties) who
agrees  to  pay this note (together referred to as "us").  "You" or "your" means
the  Lender  and  its  successors  and  assigns.
APPLICABLE  LAW  -  The  law of the state of Georgia will govern this agreement.
Any  term  of  this  agreement  which  is contrary to applicable law will not be
effective,  unless  the law permits you and me to agree to such a variation.  If
any  provision of this agreement cannot be enforced according to its terms, this
fact  will not affect the enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement.  No
modification of this agreement may be made without your express written consent.
Time  is  of  the  essence  in  this  Agreement.
PAYMENTS  -  Each payment I make on this note will first reduce the amount I owe
you for charges which are neither interest nor principal.  The remainder of each
payment will then reduce accrued unpaid interest, and then unpaid principal.  If
you  and  I  agree  to a different application of payments, we will describe our
agreement  on  this note.  I may prepay a part of, or the entire balance of this
loan  without  penalty,  unless  we  specify  to the contrary on this note.  Any
partial  prepayment  will not excuse or reduce any later scheduled payment until
this note is pad in full (unless, when I make the prepayment, you and I agree in
writing  to  the  contrary).
INTEREST - Interest accrues on the principal remaining unpaid from time to time,
until  paid  in full.  If I receive the principal in more than one advance, each
advance  will  start  to  earn  interest  only  when I receive the advance.  The
interest  rate in effect on this note at any given time will apply to the entire
principal  sum  outstanding  at  that  time.  Notwithstanding  anything  to  the
contrary,  I  do  not  agree  to pay and you do not intend to charge any rate of
interest that is higher than the maximum rate of interest you could charge under
applicable  law  for  the  extension  of  credit that is applied to in this note
(either  before  or  after maturity).  If any notice of interest accrual is sent
and  is  in  error, we mutually agree to correct it, and if you actually collect
more  interest than allowed by law and this agreement, you agree to refund it to
me.
INDEX RATE - The index will serve only as a device for setting the interest rate
on this note.  You do not guarantee by selecting this index, or the margin, that
the  interest  rate  on  this note will be the same rate you charge on any other
loans  or  class  of  loans  you  make  to  me  or  other  borrowers.
POST  MATURITY  RATE  -  For  purposes of deciding when the "Post Maturity Rate"
(shown  on  page  1)  applies,  the  term  "maturity" means the date of the last
scheduled  payment  indicated  on page 1 of this note or the date you accelerate
payment  on  the  note,  whichever  is  earlier.
SINGLE  ADVANCE  LOANS - If this is a single advance loan, you and I expect that
you will make only one advance of principal.  However, you may add other amounts
to  the principal if you make any payments described in the "PAYMENTS BY LENDER"
paragraph  on  page  2.
MULTIPLE  ADVANCE  LOANS  - If this is a multiple advance loan, you and I expect
that  you  will  make more than one advance of principal.  If this is closed-end
credit,  repaying  a  part  of  the  principal will not entitle me to additional
credit.
SET-OFF  -  I  agree  that you may set off any amount due and payable under this
note  against  any  right  I  have to receive money from you.  "Right to receive
money  from  you"  means:
     (1)  any  deposit  account  balance  I  have  with  you;
     (2)  any money owed to me on an item presented to you or in your possession
          for  collection  or  exchange;  and
     (3)  any  repurchase  agreement  or  other  nondeposit  obligation.
     "Any  amount  due  and  payable  under this note" means the total amount of
which  you  are  entitled  to demand payment under the terms of this note at the
time  you  set  off.  This total includes any balance the due date for which you
property  accelerate  under  this  note.
     If  my right to receive money from you is also owned by someone who has not
agreed  to pay this note, your right of set-off will apply to my interest in the
obligation  and  to  any  other  amounts  I could withdraw on my sole request or
endorsement.  Your  right  of  set-off  does  not  apply  to an account or other
obligation  where my rights are only as a representative. It also does not apply
to  any  Individual Retirement Account or other tax-deferred retirement account.
     You  will  not  be  liable  for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor
occurs because you set off this debt against any of my accounts. I agree to hold
you  harmless  from any such claims arising as a result of your exercise of your
right  to  set-off.

<PAGE>
DEFAULT  - I will be in default if any one or more of the following occur: (1) I
fail  to  make  a  payment  on time or in the amount due; (2) I fail to keep the
Property  insured,  if  required; (3) I fail to pay, or keep any promise, on any
debt  or  agreement  I have with you; (4) any other creditor of mine attempts to
collect  any  debt  I  owe him through court proceedings; (5) I die, am declared
incompetent,  make  an  assignment  for  the  benefit  of  creditors,  or become
insolvent  (either because my liabilities exceed my assets or I am unable to pay
my  debts  as  they become due); (6) I make any written statement or provide any
financial  information that is untrue or inaccurate at the time it was provided;
(7)  I  do  or  fail  to  do something which causes you to believe you will have
difficulty  collecting  the  amount  I owe you; (8) any collateral securing this
note  is  used  in  a  manner or for a purpose which threatens confiscation by a
legal authority; (9) I change my name or assume an additional name without first
notifying  you  before making such a change; (10) I fail to plant, cultivate and
harvest  crops in due season; (11) any loan proceeds are used for a purpose that
will  contribute  to  excessive  erosion  of  highly  erodible  land  or  to the
conversion  of  wetlands  to  produce  an  agricultural  commodity,  as  further
explained  in  7  C.F.R.  Part  1940,  Subpart  G,  Exhibit  M.
REMEDIES - If I am in default of this note you have, but are not limited to, the
following  remedies:
     (1)  You  may  demand  immediate  payment  of all I owe you under this note
          (principal, accrued unpaid interest and other accrued unpaid charges).
     (2)  You  may  set off this debt against any right I have to the payment of
          money  from  you,  subject  to  the  terms  of the "SET-OFF" paragraph
          herein.
     (3)  You may demand security, additional security, or additional parties to
          be  obligated  to pay this note as a condition for not using any other
          remedy.
     (4)  You  may refuse to make advances to me or allow purchases on credit by
          me.
     (5)  You  may  use  any  remedy  you  have  under  state  or  federal  law.
     (6)  You  may make use of any remedy given to you in any agreement securing
          this  note.
     By  selecting  any  one  or  more of these remedies you do not give up your
right  to  use later any other remedy. By waiving your right to declare an event
to  be  a  default,  you  do  not waive your right to consider later the event a
default  if  it  continues  or  happens  again.
COLLECTION  COSTS  AND ATTORNEY'S FEES - I agree to pay all costs of collection,
replevin or any other or similar type of costs if I am in default.  In addition,
if  you  hire an attorney to collect this note, I also agree to pay any fee, not
to  exceed  15  percent  of the principal and interest then owed, you incur with
such  attorney plus court costs (except where prohibited by law).  To the extent
permitted  by  the  United  States  Bankruptcy  Code,  I  also  agree to pay the
reasonable  attorney's  fees and costs you incur to collect this debt as awarded
by  any  court  exercising  jurisdiction  under  the  Bankruptcy  Code.
WAIVER  -  I  give up my rights to require you to do certain things.  I will not
require  you  to:
     (1)  demand  payment  of  amounts  due  (presentment):
     (2)  obtain  official  certification  of  nonpayment  (protest);
     (3)  give  notice that amounts due have not been paid (notice of dishonor);
          or
     (4)  give  me  notice prior to seizure of my personal property when you are
          seeking to foreclose a secured interest in any of my personal property
          used  to  secure  a  commercial  transaction.
     I  waive  any  defenses  I  have  based  on  suretyship  or  impairment  of
collateral.
OBLIGATIONS INDEPENDENT - I understand that I must pay this note even if someone
else has also agreed to pay it (by, for example, signing this form or a separate
guarantee  or  endorsement).  You  may  sue  me  alone,  or  anyone  else who is
obligated on this note, or any number of us together, to collect this note.  You
may  without  notice  release  any party to this agreement without releasing any
other party.  If you give up any of your rights, with or without notice, it will
not  affect my duty to pay this note.  Any extension of new credit to any of us,
or  renewal  of this note by all or less than all of us will not release me from
my  duty  to pay it.  (Of course, you are entitled to only one payment in full.)
I  agree that you may at your option extend this note or the debt represented by
this  note,  or any portion of the note or debt, from time to time without limit
or  notice  and  for  any term without affecting my liability for payment of the
note.  I  will  assign  my  obligation  under  this agreement without your prior
written  approval.
FINANCIAL  INFORMATION  -  I  agree  to provide you, upon request, any financial
statement  or  information you may deem necessary.  I warrant that the financial
statements and information I provide to you are or will be accurate, correct and
complete.

               according  to  the  respective  percentages  determined  by  the
               parties) shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis equal to

               Purchase  Price  No.  2 shall be decreased by any shortfall below

               greater  than  Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000.00),
               no adjustment to Purchase Price No. 1 and/or Purchase Price No. 2
               shall  be  made  under  this  Section  4.1(e).  Any  reduction to
               Purchase  Price  No. 1 and/or Purchase Price No. 2 hereunder will
               be  set  off  against  the  Promissory Note described in Sections

               against  any  amount  earned under the earnout under Sections 4.6
               and  4.7. The determination of the 2004 NPBT shall be made in the
               manner  provided  for  in  Section  5.2  hereof.

          Subject  to  the other terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Price for

4.6       Potential  Adjustment  to  Purchase  Price.
          ------------------------------------------

          Earn-Out  No.  1
          ----------------

          If  the  Net  Profits  Before  Taxes ("NPBT") of Purchaser No. 1's and
          Purchaser No. 2's eServ Solutions Group Divisions during any of fiscal
          years  2004 (January 6, 2004 to January 5, 2005), 2005 and 2006 exceed
          the  applicable  NPBT  Threshold  for  such  year  set  forth  below:

                         Fiscal Year 2004    -   $450,000.00
                         Fiscal Year 2005    -   $450,000.00
                         Fiscal Year 2006    -   $450,000.00

          Purchaser  No. 1 and Purchaser No. 2 (according to the percentages set
          forth  below)  shall pay Seller, by bank check or wiring within ninety
          (90) days following the end of the fiscal year, an amount equal to 50%
          of the aggregate NPBT of Purchaser No. 1's and Purchaser No. 2's eServ
          Solutions  Group  Division  in  excess  of  the NPBT Threshold for the
          applicable  year,  subject  to  a cumulative limitation of Two Million
          Dollars  ($2,000,000.00)  during  such  aggregate  period.  Any  NPBT
          shortfall  in  any year shall not be offset against any excess NPBT in
          any  subsequent  year(s) hereunder, it being the intent of the parties
          that  the  NPBT  Threshold  set  forth  herein  shall  apply  to  each
          applicable  year  separately,  subject,  however,  to  the  cumulative
          limitation  of  Two  Million  Dollars  ($2,000,000.00)  during  such
          aggregate  period.  Such cash payment by Purchaser No. 1 and Purchaser
          No.  2 shall be additional Purchase Price No. 1 and Purchase Price No.
          2, in the proportions set forth below, which will be added to the good
          will  allocation  of  Purchase  Price  No. 1 and Purchase Price No. 2.
          Purchaser  No.  1  and  Purchaser  No.  2  shall  pay their respective
          percentage  of  any  amounts  due hereunder, which percentage shall be
          predicated  on  the respective NPBT contribution made by each of their
          eServ  Solutions  Group  Divisions to the computation set forth above.

          In  the  event  that  Seller  would  receive total consideration under
          Section  4.6  of  Two  Million  Dollars  ($2,000,000.00)  during  the
          applicable fiscal years set forth above, Purchaser No. 1 and Purchaser
          No.  2  agree  to discuss in good faith the extension of Earnout No. 1
          for  the fiscal years 2007, 2008, and 2009 for up to an additional Two
          Million  Dollars ($2,000,000.00) amount upon terms and conditions that
          the  parties shall mutually agree upon. Nothing contained herein shall
          constitute an agreement to provide such additional earnout, but rather
          it  is the intent of the parties to discuss in good faith the possible
          implementation  and  extension  thereof  based  on  all  the facts and
          circumstances  that  exist  at  such  time.

          ------------------------------------------

          Earnout  No.  2.
          ---------------

          If  the  Gross  Sales  of  Purchaser No. 1's eServ Solutions Group and
          Purchaser  No.2's  eServ  Solutions  Group  Divisions in the aggregate
          during  any  of  the  fiscal years 2004 (January 6, 2004 to January 5,
          2005),  and  2005  (and  subject to the satisfaction of a minimum NPBT
          Margin  for  such year as set forth below) exceed the applicable Gross
          Sales  threshold  for  such  year  set  forth  below:

          Fiscal  Year  2004:
          -------------------

          Gross  Sales  greater than or equal to $20,000,000.00 but less than or
          equal  to  $25,000,000.00  =  $200,000.00  cash;  or

          Gross  Sales  greater  than  $25,000,000.00  but less than or equal to
          $30,000,000.00  =  $400,000.00  cash;  or

          Gross  Sales  greater  than  $30,000,000.00  =  $600,000.00  cash.

          Fiscal  Year  2005:
          -------------------

          Gross  Sales  greater than or equal to $25,000,000.00 but less than or
          equal  to  $30,000,000.00  =  $200,000.00  cash;  or

          Gross  Sales  greater than or equal to $30,000,000.00 but less than or
          equal  to  $35,000,000.00  =  $400,000.00  cash;  or

          Gross  Sales  greater  than  $35,000,000.00  =  $600,000.00  cash.

          Purchaser No. 1 and Purchaser No. 2 shall pay Seller, by bank check or
          wiring  within  ninety (90) days following the end of the fiscal year,
          the  applicable  amount,  if any, that may have been earned above. Any
          Gross  Sales  shortfall  in any year shall not offset any excess Gross
          Sales  in  any  subsequent  year hereunder, it being the intent of the
          parties that the Gross Sales threshold set forth herein shall apply to
          each  applicable  year  separately. Notwithstanding anything contained
          herein to the contrary for fiscal year 2005, in addition to satisfying
          the applicable Gross Sales criteria, Purchaser No. 1 and Purchaser No.
          2  eServ  Solutions  Group Divisions must also achieve a minimum of 2%
          NPBT  Margin for any payments to be made under this section. Such cash
          payment  by Purchaser No. 1 and/or Purchaser No. 2 shall be additional
          Purchase  Price No. 1 and Purchase Price No. 2, which will be added to
          the goodwill allocation of Purchase Price No. 1 and Purchase Price No.
          2  as  applicable. Purchaser No. 1 and Purchaser No. 2 shall pay their
          respective  percentage  of any amounts due hereunder, which percentage
          shall  be predicated on the respective "Gross Sales" contribution made
          by  each of the eServ Solutions Group Divisions to the computation set
          forth  above.

             (viii) Except  as  noted  above  with respect to the infrastructure
                    fee  and  MDF  royalty  fee,  no  indirect income or expense

          differences  in  writing  within  thirty  (30)  days  following  the
          expiration  of the thirty-day (30-day) period, then such determination

          independent  accounting firm selected by Purchaser No. 1 and Purchaser
          No.  2  and  Seller. If Purchaser No. 1 and Purchaser No. 2 and Seller
          are  unable  to  agree  promptly on an accounting firm to serve as the
          Arbitrator,  each shall select by no later than the 30th day following
          the  expiration  of the sixty-day (60-day) period, an accounting firm,
          and  the  two  selected accounting firms shall be instructed to select
          promptly another independent accounting firm, such newly selected firm
          to  serve  as  the  Arbitrator. The Arbitrator shall consider only the
          disputed  accounting matters pertaining to the determination and shall
          act  promptly  to  resolve  all  disputed  accounting matters, and its
          decision  with  respect  to  all  disputed accounting matters shall be
          final  and  binding  upon  Seller  and  Purchaser.  Expenses  of  the
          Arbitration  shall  be  borne  one-half  (1/2)  by Purchaser No. 1 and
          Purchaser  No.  2  and  one-half  (1/2) by Seller. Each party shall be
          responsible  for  its own attorney and accounting fees. The resolution
          of  any  disputed  legal  matters  pertaining  to  the report shall

                                  Page 22 of 61

          be subject to judicial review. If there is both a legal dispute and an
          accounting  dispute  regarding  any  of  the determinations to be made
          hereunder  and  the legal dispute could impact the accounting dispute,
          the  legal  dispute  shall  be  determined first and the parties shall
          adjust  the  timeline  set  forth  herein  for  the  resolution of the
          accounting  dispute  incident  thereto.

          supporting  documentation  reasonably  requested by Purchaser No. 1 or
          Purchaser No. 2 reflecting Net Asset Amount No. 1 and Net Asset Amount
          No.  2  as  of  the Closing which shall be defined as the total of the

          relating  to  Business  No. 1, as reflected on Pro Forma Balance Sheet
          No.  1  (the  Net  Asset  Report No. 1) and the total of the Purchased
          Assets  No. 2 less the total of the Assumed Liabilities No. 2 relating
          to  Business No. 2, as reflected on Pro Forma Balance Sheet No. 2 (the
          Net  Asset Report No. 2"). In addition, in making Net Asset Amount No.
          1  and the Net Asset Amount No. 2 determinations, the Net Profit after
          taxes with a gross up factor of twenty percent (20%) added back (after
          taking  into  account  all applicable expenses related thereto and tax
          affecting  the  transactions)  for  the  three  (3)  Purchase  Orders
          identified  as  McGraw  Hill,  Amerus, and NCS Pearson, shall be taken
          into account in making said determination. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet
          No.  1  and  the Pro Forma Balance Sheet No. 2 shall be prepared using
          the  same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with
          consistent  classifications,  judgments, estimations and methodologies
          as  used in the preparation of the November 14, 2003 Pro Forma Balance
          Sheet  No.  1 and the November 14, 2003 Pro Forma Balance Sheet No. 2.
          If  the sum of the Net Asset Amount No. 1 and the Net Asset Amount No.
          2  in  the  aggregate  is  less  than  zero,  Purchase Price No. 1 and
          Purchase  Price  No. 2 shall be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis
          for  any deficit. The amount of any deficit shall be paid to Purchaser
          No.  1  and

          Purchaser  No. 2 in the proportions to be determined by the parties by
          certified or cashier's check. If the sum of the Net Asset Amount No. 1
          and  Net Asset Amount No. 2 in the aggregate is greater than zero (0),
          Purchase  Price No. 1 and Purchase Price No. 2 shall be increased on a

          additional  amount  owing shall be paid immediately by Purchaser No. 1
          and  Purchaser No. 2 to Seller by certified or cashier's check or wire
          transfer  on  the date of the resolution of this determination. In the
          event the increase in Purchase Price No. 1 and Purchase Price No. 2 is
          less  than  the  amount  of  the  advance payments made under Sections
          4.3(b)  and  4.4(b)  by Purchaser No. 1 and Purchaser No. 2 to Seller,
          the  difference  between  the  amount  of  the advance payment paid to
          Seller  at  Closing and the amount that Seller is entitled to pursuant
          to this provision shall be repaid to Purchaser No. 1 and Purchaser No.
          2  by  Seller from the escrow funds by certified or cashier's check or
          wire  transfer  on  the  date of the resolution of this determination.

          Asset  Report  No. 1 and to Purchaser No. 2 of Net Asset Report No. 2,
          Purchaser  No. 1 and Purchaser No. 2 shall have the right to object in

          within  fifteen (15) days following the expiration of such thirty (30)
          day period, then Net Asset Report No. 1 and/or Net Asset Report No. 2,
          as  resolved,  shall  become  final  and binding as it relates to this
          Agreement.  If  timely  objection  is  made  by Purchaser No. 1 and/or

          Asset  Report No. 2 and/or Seller and Purchaser No. 1 and/or Purchaser
          No.  2,  as  applicable,  are  unable  to resolve their differences in
          writing  within  such  fifteen  (15)  day  period,  then  all disputed
          accounting  matters  pertaining  to  Net Asset Report No. 1 and/or Net
          Asset Report No. 2 shall be submitted to and reviewed by an arbitrator
          (the  Arbitrator)  which  shall  be  an  independent  accounting  firm
          selected  by the Seller and Purchaser No. 1 and/or Purchaser No. 2, as
          applicable.  If Purchaser No. 1 and/or Purchaser No. 2, as applicable,
          and  the Seller are unable to agree promptly on the accounting firm to
          serve  as  the  Arbitrator,  each  shall  select by not later than the
          seventh (7th) day following the expiration of the Net Asset Report No.
          1 and Net Asset Report No. 2 objection period, an accounting firm, and
          each  selected  accounting  firm shall be instructed to jointly select
          promptly  another  independent  accounting firm, such third accounting
          firm shall serve as the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator shall consider only
          the  disputed  accounting  matters pertaining to the determination and
          shall  act  promptly  and  fairly  to  resolve all disputed accounting
          matters  and  its  decision  with  respect  to all disputed accounting
          matters  shall  be  final and binding upon the Seller, Purchaser No. 1
          and  Purchaser  No.  2, as applicable. The expenses of the arbitration
          shall  be borne one-half (1/2) by Purchaser No. 1 and/or Purchaser No.
          2,  as  applicable, and one-half (1/2) by the Seller. Each party shall
          be  responsible  for  its  own  attorney  and  accounting  fees.  The
          resolution  of  any disputed legal matters pertaining to the Net Asset
          Report  No.  1  and/or  Net  Asset  Report  No.  2 shall be subject to
          judicial  review.  If  there is both a legal dispute and an accounting
          dispute  regarding  the  Net  Asset  Report No. 1 and/or the Net Asset
          Report  No.  2  and  the  legal  dispute

          could  impact  the  accounting  dispute,  the  legal  dispute shall be
          determined  first  and the parties shall adjust the timeline set forth
          herein  for the resolution of the accounting dispute incident thereto.

5.2       Within  ninety (90) days of the close of the 2004 fiscal year (January
          6,  2004  - January 5, 2005), Purchaser No. 1 and Purchaser No. 2 will
          deliver  to  Seller the determination of the 2004 NPBT, along with any
          supporting documentation reasonably requested by Seller. The 2004 NPBT
          shall  be  prepared  in  accordance with generally accepted accounting
          principles  consistently  applied subject to the adjustments set forth
          in Section 4.8 regarding the determination of NPBT for the fiscal year
          2004 for earnout purposes. Thirty (30) days following delivery of such
          report,  both parties shall have the right to object in writing to the
          results  contained  in such determinations. If timely objection is not
          made  by  either party to such determination, such determination shall
          become final and binding. If timely objection is made by any party and
          the  parties  are  able to resolve their differences in writing within
          fifteen  (15) days following the expiration of the 2004 NPBT objection
          period,  then  such  determination  as resolved shall become final and
          binding  as  it relates to this Agreement. If timely objection is made
          by  any  party  and Seller and Purchaser No. 1 and Purchaser No. 2 are
          unable to resolve their differences in writing within ten (10) days of
          the  expiration  of  the 2004 NPBT objection period, then all disputed
          accounting  matters  relating to the report shall be submitted to, and
          reviewed  by, an arbitrator according to the process and procedure set
          forth in Section 5.1 above. The expenses of arbitration shall be borne
          one-half  by  Purchaser  No.  1  and  Purchaser  No. 2 and one-half by
          Seller.  Each  party  shall  be responsible for its own accounting and
          attorneys'  fees.  The  resolution  of  any  disputed  legal  issues
          pertaining  to this determination shall be subject to judicial review.
          If  there  is both a legal dispute and an accounting dispute regarding
          the  2004  NPBT  determination  and the legal dispute could impact the
          accounting  dispute,  the  legal dispute shall be determined first and
          the  parties  shall  adjust  the  timeline  set  forth  herein for the
          resolution  of  the  accounting  dispute  incident  thereto.  Any  net
          reduction  in  Purchase  Price No. 1 and Purchase Price No. 2 shall be
          made  in  the  manner  set forth in Section 4.1(e). In making the 2004
          NPBT  determination,  no effect shall be given to any of the three (3)
          Purchase Orders that are to be taken into account in the Net Asset No.
          1  and  Net  Asset  No.  2  determination  set  forth  in Section 5.1.

          correct  as  of  the  date  hereof.

10.1      Organization, Good  Standing,  Qualification  and  Power  of  Seller.
          --------------------------------------------------------------------

               validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
               of  Illinois  and  has  the power and authority to own, lease and

               membership  interests  of  which  100%  is currently owned by the
               Members,  in  the aggregate. All outstanding membership interests
               of Seller have been fully paid for and are nonassessable and have
               not  been  issued  in  violation  of the preemptive rights of any
               person. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, Seller is
               not  obligated  to issue or acquire any membership interests, nor
               has  it granted options or any similar rights with respect to any
               of  its  membership  interests.

10.3      Authority  to  Make  Agreement.
          ------------------------------

          The  Seller and each Member have the full legal power and authority to
          enter  into, execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations
          under this Agreement and each of the other agreements, instruments and
          other  instruments  to  be  delivered  incident  hereto ("Other Seller
          Documents").  This  Agreement and the Other Seller Documents have been
          duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and the Members, and
          are  the  legal and binding obligation of each of them, enforceable in
          accordance  with  their  respective  terms,  subject  to principles of
          equity,  bankruptcy  laws,  and  laws  affecting  creditors'  rights
          generally. The Seller has taken all necessary action (including action

          its  Operating  Agreement)  to authorize and approve the execution and
          delivery  of  this  Agreement  and  the  Other  Seller  Documents, the
          performance  of its obligations thereunder and the consummation of the

               any law, rule, ordinance, or regulation, or any other restriction
               of  any  kind  or  character,  which  would prevent Seller or any
               Member  from  entering  into  this  Agreement or any of the Other
               Seller  Documents  or  from  consummating  the  transactions
               contemplated  thereby.

          (b)  Neither  the  Seller nor any Member are a party to, subject to or
               bound  by any agreement, judgment, award, order, writ, injunction
               or  decree  of  any  court, governmental body or arbitrator which

               Seller  does  not  know  of any information which could result in
               such  a  claim,  litigation, action, investigation or proceeding,
               which,  if  determined adversely to Seller, would have a material
               effect  upon  Seller's  Business  No.  1  or  Business  No.  2.

                    issued, and Seller has made available for inspection, one or
                    more determination letters with respect to the qualification
                    of  all such Employee Pension Benefit Plans stating that the

                    qualification of such Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code,
                    and  that continued qualification of the Plan in its present
                    form  will depend upon its effect in operation. The time for
                    adoption  of  any amendments required by changes in the Code

                    plan  documents,  ERISA,  the  Code and all other applicable
                    laws,  in  all  material  respects.

                    partial termination of any Employee Benefit Plan, except for
                    liabilities  as  to which adequate reserves are reflected on
                    the  Financial  Statements,  and  there  exists no condition
                    presenting  a  material  risk  of  such  liability.

               (xi) The Seller has timely made any contributions it is obligated
                    to  make  to  any  multi-employer plan within the meaning of
                    Section  3(37) of ERISA. The Seller has no liability arising
                    as  a  result of withdrawal from any multi-employer plan, no
                    such  withdrawal  liability  has  been  asserted and no such
                    withdrawal  liability  will  be  asserted with regard to any

          Provided  Purchaser  No. 1 and/or Purchaser No. 2 make a written claim

          damage,  liability  or  deficiency  resulting  from or arising out of:

          (i)  any  inaccuracy  in  or  breach  of any representation, warranty,
               covenant, or obligation made or incurred by Seller or the Members
               herein  or  in  any  other  agreement,  (including  exhibits  and
               schedules)  or  legal  instrument  delivered  by  or on behalf of
               Seller  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  the  Agreement;

          (ii) any  imposition  (including  by  operation  of  law) or attempted
               imposition by a third party upon Purchaser No. 1 and/or Purchaser
               No.  2  of any Excluded Liability of Seller which Purchaser No. 1
               has  not specifically agreed to assume pursuant to Section 3.1 of
               this  Agreement and/or which Purchaser No. 2 has not specifically
               agreed  to  assume  pursuant  to  Section  3.2 of this Agreement;

         (iii) any  liability  of  Seller  arising  out  of Sellers operation of

               for  any  Assumed  Liabilities No. 1 or Assumed Liabilities No. 2
               described  in  Sections  3.1  and  3.2,  respectively)  or  other
               obligation  incurred  by  or  imposed upon Purchaser No. 1 and/or

               which  may  be applicable to the transaction herein contemplated;

          (iv) any  and  all  costs and expenses (including reasonable legal and
               accounting  fees)  related  to  any  of  the  foregoing.

          Except  as  otherwise  provided  in  this  Agreement,  nothing in this
          Section  12.3  shall be construed to limit the amount to which, or the
          time  by which, by reason of offset or otherwise, that Purchaser No. 1
          and/or  Purchaser No. 2 may recover from Seller or any Member pursuant
          to  this  Agreement  resulting  from Seller's or any Members breach or
          violation  of  any  representation,  warranty,  covenant  or agreement
          contained  herein.

          successors  or assigns, is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the
          provisions  of  this Section, shall first be offset against the amount
          payable  to  Seller  against  the  subordinated promissory notes, then
          against  any  payments  due  under  Section  4.6 and/or 4.7. Provided,
          however,  the  offset  in  any  one  year may not exceed the aggregate

          subordinated  promissory  notes for said year, and any amount, if any,
          payable  under  Section  4.6  or  4.7  for  such  year.

12.4      Indemnification  by  Purchaser  No.  1  and/or  Purchaser  No.  2.
          -----------------------------------------------------------------

          Provided  Members  and/or  Seller  make  a  written  claim  for
          indemnification  against  Purchaser  No.  1 and/or Purchaser No. 2, as
          applicable, within any applicable survival period specified in Section
          12  and subject to the limitation set forth in Section 12.8, Purchaser
          No.  1  and/or Purchaser No. 2, jointly and severally, shall indemnify

          Purchaser  No.  1  and/or Purchaser No. 2 arising out of Purchaser No.
          1's  and/or  Purchaser  No.  2's  operations subsequent to the Closing
          (except  to  the  extent such liability is the result of a breach of a
          covenant  or warranty of Seller hereunder); (iii) any inaccuracy in or
          breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation made or
          incurred  by  Purchaser  No.  1  and/or Purchaser No. 2, as applicable
          herein or in any other agreement, instrument, or document delivered by

          expenses  (including  reasonable legal and accounting fees). Except as
          otherwise  provided  herein,  nothing  in  this  Section 11.4 shall be
          construed  to  limit  the  amount  to  which, or the time by which, by
          reason  of offset or otherwise, that Seller may recover from Purchaser
          No. 1 and/or Purchaser No. 2 pursuant to this Agreement resulting from
          its  breach  or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or
          agreement  contained  herein.

12.5      Notification  of  and  Participation  in  Claims.
          ------------------------------------------------

          (a)  No  claim for indemnification shall arise until notice thereof is
               given  to  the  party  from whom indemnity is sought. Such notice
               shall  be  sent  within  ten  (10)  days  after  the  party to be
               indemnified  has received notification of such claim, but failure
               to  notify the indemnifying party shall in no event prejudice the
               right of the party to be indemnified under this Agreement, unless
               the  indemnifying  party  shall be prejudiced by such failure and
               then  only to the extent of such prejudice. In the event that any
               legal  proceeding  shall  be instituted or any claim or demand is
               asserted by any third party in respect of which Seller/Members on
               the  one  hand,  or  Purchaser  No.  1 and/or Purchaser No. 2, as
               applicable,  on  the  other  hand,  may  have  an  obligation  to
               indemnify  the other, the party asserting such right to indemnity
               (the  "Party  to be Indemnified") shall give or cause to be given
               to  the  party  from  whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying
               Party")  written  notice thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall
               have  the right, at its option and expense, to participate in the
               defense  of  such proceeding, claim or demand, but not to control
               the  defense,  negotiation  or  settlement thereof, which control
               shall  at all times rest with the Party to be Indemnified, unless
               the  Indemnifying  Party irrevocably acknowledges in writing full
               and  complete  responsibility  for  and  agrees  to  provide
               indemnification  of  the  Party  to be Indemnified, in which case
               such  Indemnifying  Party may assume such control through counsel
               of  its  choice and at its expense. In the event the Indemnifying
               Party

                                  Page 49 of 61
<PAGE>
               assumes  control of the defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not
               be  responsible  for the legal costs and expenses of the Party to
               be  Indemnified  in the event the Party to be Indemnified decides
               to  join  in  such defense. The parties hereto agree to cooperate
               fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation
               or  settlement of any such third party legal proceeding, claim or
               demand.

          (b)  If  the Party to be Indemnified is also the party controlling the
               defense,  negotiation  or  settlement  of  any matter, and if the
               Party  to be Indemnified determines to compromise the matter, the
               Party to be Indemnified shall immediately advise the Indemnifying
               Party  of the terms and conditions of the proposed settlement. If
               the  Indemnifying Party agrees to accept such proposal, the Party
               to be Indemnified shall proceed to conclude the settlement of the
               matter,  and  the  Indemnifying Party shall immediately indemnify
               the  Party  to  be  Indemnified pursuant to the terms of Sections
               12.3 and 12.4 hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party does not agree
               within  fourteen  (14) days to accept the settlement (said 14-day
               period to begin on the first business day following the date such
               party  receives  a complete copy of the settlement proposal), the
               Indemnifying  Party  shall  immediately  assume  control  of  the
               defense,  negotiation or settlement thereof, at that Indemnifying
               Party's expense. Thereafter, the Party to be Indemnified shall be
               indemnified  in the entirety for any liability arising out of the
               ultimate  defenses,  negotiation  or  settlement  of such matter.

          (c)  If  the  Indemnifying Party is the party controlling the defense,
               negotiation  or  settlement  of  any matter, and the Indemnifying
               Party determines to compromise the matter, the Indemnifying Party
               shall immediately advise the Party to be Indemnified of the terms
               and  conditions  of  the  proposed settlement. If the Party to be
               Indemnified  agrees  to  accept  such  proposal, the Indemnifying
               Party  shall proceed to conclude the settlement of the matter and
               immediately indemnify the Party to be Indemnified pursuant to the
               terms  of  Sections  12.3  or  12.4 hereunder. If the Party to be
               Indemnified  does  not  agree within fourteen (14) days to accept
               the settlement (said 14-day period to begin on the first business
               day following the date such party receives a complete copy of the
               settlement  proposal),  the  Party  to  be  Indemnified  shall
               immediately  assume  control  of  the  defense,  negotiation  or
               settlement  thereof, at the Party to be Indemnified's expense. If
               the  final  amount  paid  to  resolve  the claim is less than the
               amount  of  the  original  proposed  settlement  made  by  the
               Indemnifying  Party,  then  the  Party  to  be  Indemnified shall
               receive  such  indemnification  pursuant to Sections 12.3 or 12.4
               hereof,  including  any and all expenses incurred by the Party to
               be  Indemnified  incurred  in  connection  with  the  defense,
               negotiation or settlement of such matter up to the maximum of the
               original  proposed  settlement.  If  the  amount  finally paid to
               resolve  the  claim is equal to or greater than the amount of the
               original  proposed settlement proposed by the Indemnifying Party,
               then  the  Indemnifying  Party  shall  provide  indemnification
               pursuant to Sections 12.3 and 12.4 for the amount of the original
               settlement  proposal submitted by the Indemnifying Party, and the
               Party  to  be Indemnified shall be responsible for all amounts in
               excess  of  the  original  settlement  proposal  submitted by the
               Indemnifying  Party  and  all  costs and

                                  Page 50 of 61
<PAGE>
               expenses  incurred  by  the Party to be Indemnified in connection
               with  such  defense,  negotiation  or  settlement.

12.6      Excluded  Liabilities.
          ---------------------

          (a)  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the
               event any Excluded Liability would attach to Purchased Assets No.
               1  and/or  Purchased  Assets  No. 2 under any successor liability
               statute  or  otherwise,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  such
               liability  was an Excluded Liability, Seller and Members shall be
               jointly  and  severally  responsible  for  the  payment  of  such
               Excluded  Liability and the lien on Purchased Assets No. 1 and/or
               Purchased Assets No. 2 (which would represent a breach of certain
               representations  under  the Agreement) related to such liability.

12.7      Limitation  on  Liability.
          -------------------------

          Notwithstanding  the  provisions of the Section 12, Seller and Members
          shall  not  have  any  indemnification obligation under this Agreement

          Five  Thousand  Dollars  ($5,000.00)  and  Seller and Members shall be
          liable for indemnification of the Indemnified Party only to the extent
          that actual losses exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) as further
          modified  by  Section  12.  The  maximum liability that Seller and the
          Members  may be required to pay to Purchaser No. 1 and Purchaser No. 2
          under  this  Section  12 shall not exceed an amount equal to the total

          Purchased  Assets  No. 2 and the maximum liability that any Member may
          be individually required to pay to Purchaser No. 1 and Purchaser No. 2
