                           SELLER'S REPRESENTATIONS

(S)2.1 Representations and Warranties of Seller

     Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser as of the date hereof and on

several):

     (A)  TITLE. To the best knowledge and belief of Seller, Seller has good and
marketable title to all assets and leasehold estates, real and personal, to be 
transferred pursuant to this agreement subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien, 
conditional sales agreement, encumbrance or charge except for:

         (1)  liens for current taxes and assessments not in default; and
          
         (2)  liens reflected on schedule 1.3 as securing specified liabilities 
(with respect to which no default exists); and

existing.

     (B)  INSURANCE. The Seller has delivered to Purchaser a list (schedule 
2.1(b)), complete in all material respects, as of December 31, 1996 of all 
insurance policies carried by Seller. Seller carries insurance, which it 
believes to be adequate in character and amount, with reputable insurers in 
respect of its properties, assets, and business and such insurance policies are 
still in full force and effect.

     (C)  VIOLATIONS, SUITS, ETC. In all respects material to the business, 
financial condition and properties of the Seller on a consolidated basis, Seller
is not in default under any law or regulation, or under any order of any court
or federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission,
board, bureau, agency or instrumentality wherever located, and, except to the
extent set forth on the schedule 2.1(a)(3), there are (1) no claims, actions,
suits or proceedings instituted or filed or, (2) to the knowledge of the Seller

period or periods to and including December 31, 1996. Except only as disclosed 
on schedule 1.2, the amounts shown as provisions for taxes on the financial 
statements of Seller as of December 31, 1996 delivered to Purchaser are

ended on or before that date. Copies of the federal, state and local income tax 
returns of Seller for its last three fiscal years have heretofore been furnished
to Purchaser.

     (e)  SALES TAX MATTERS. No sales by Seller constitute "retail sales" within
the meaning of (s) 212.02 of the Florida Revenue Act of 1949 and Seller as of 
the Closing Date has no obligation to pay Florida sales taxes on its revenue.

     (f)  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. With respect to the accounts receivable of Seller
as of the date hereof, there has not been any adverse change of which Seller has
been advised and to the knowledge of Seller all of such accounts receivable are 
collectible in the ordinary course of business.

     (g)  THIRD PARTY CONSENTS. Except for the landlord of the warehouse
premises referred to in (s) 1.8, no other third party consents are necessary to
transfer the assets of Seller as contemplated by this agreement.

as owner, as partner, as agent, or as stockholder, director of officer of a

agreed to be sold, within the area: WITHIN A FIFTY (50) MILE RADIUS OF THE

of either party shall entitle the aggrieved party to the sum of $          as

by reason of the difficulty in reducing the exact damages actually sustained to

Transferee hereby indemnifies Transferor from any such claims, if made.
