     Re:  Proposed Lending Transactions

Gentlemen:

     This letter shall constitute the agreement of Imagine Investments, Inc.
("Imagine") to make a term loan in the original principal amount of $440,000.00
to be evidenced by a Term Promissory Note in such amount of even date herewith
(the "Loan") to Wilson Financial Corporation ("Wilson") and to be guaranteed by
J. Steven Wilson ("Steven") and to provide for the purchase by Imagine of
certain stock of Riverside Group, Inc. ("Riverside") held by Wilson, all upon
the terms and conditions contained in this letter. By executing this letter,
Wilson, Steven and Imagine will evidence their binding agreement to carry out
the transactions outlined in this letter, subject to (a) the obtaining of such
necessary consents and corporate approvals as may be contemplated by the
requirements of this letter, and (b) the performance by all of the parties of
their respective obligations and agreements as set forth herein and in such note
and pledge agreement (collectively, the "Loan Documents"). This letter expresses
the binding agreement of Imagine to make the Loan and to purchase certain stock
of Riverside, as described below and the binding agreement of Wilson and Steven
to effect such transactions and to carry out the other terms of this letter,
including the sale of such Riverside stock, as described below. Each party to
this letter agrees to take all actions and to direct and cause to occur all
corporate or other entity action necessary to effect these transactions.

A.   The Loan.  The terms and conditions of the Loan shall be as follows:

     1.   The Loan.  The Loan shall be made pursuant to a Term Promissory
Note which shall have a maturity date of October 31, 1998 (the "Note") in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Note shall bear interest on its
outstanding principal balance at the rate of ten and one-half percent (10 1/2%)
per annum, which interest shall be paid quarterly on the first day of each
calendar quarter commencing with the first day of January, 1998.   The Note
shall have an original principal balance of $440,000.00.  Repayment of the Note
according to its
<PAGE>

November 28, 1997
Page -2-


terms shall be guaranteed unconditionally by Steven in the form of the
Unconditional Guaranty Agreement which is a part of Exhibit A.

     2.   No Prepayment; Calculation of Interest.  The Loan may not be prepaid,
except at Imagine's election. Interest on the Loan shall be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year, in accordance with customary commercial banking
practice.

     3.   Collateral for the Loan.  The Loan shall be collateralized by a
pledge creating a first lien and security interest in 130,542 shares of the
common stock of Riverside (collectively, the "Collateral Stock") presently owned
by and registered in the name of Wilson, pursuant to a Stock Pledge Agreement
(the "Pledge Agreement") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  Prior to the
performance of all of Wilson's obligations under the Loan Documents, Wilson
shall provide to Imagine notice of the receipt of any notice of default under
Wilson's loan agreement with the First National Bank of Boston (the "Bank").
Following any default under Wilson's loan agreement with the Bank, or following
any default in Wilson's obligations under the Loan Documents, Wilson shall use
its best efforts to obtain from the Bank (or any other lender holding a pledge
of or security interest in any portion of the common stock of Riverside), the
right to grant a second pledge and security interest in all of such stock to
Imagine and, upon receipt of the consent of such lender, Wilson shall grant such
a second priority pledge and security interest in substantially the form of the
Pledge Agreement and shall perfect such pledge.  The failure of Wilson to
perform the foregoing obligations shall be a default under the Note.
Furthermore, until such time as the Loan shall be collateralized by a first
priority perfected security interest in Collateral Stock with a market value of
twice the amount of the principal balance of the Loan, Wilson (i) shall grant a
first pledge and security interest in substantially the form of the Pledge
Agreement, (ii) shall perfect such pledge in all shares of the common stock of
Riverside released from pledge under Wilson's loan from the Boston Bank
immediately upon such common stock's release and (iii) shall not grant any
security interest in any shares of the common stock of Riverside Group other
than the security interests contemplated hereby and the existing security
interest held by the Boston Bank.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the
market value of the Collateral Stock in which Imagine has such a perfected first
priority lien and security interest shall be at least equal to twice the
principal balance of the Loan (i) Wilson shall be released from any obligation
to provide any further collateral for the Loan (whether first or second
priority) or to refrain from granting other security interests in shares of
common stock of Riverside (ii) Wilson shall be entitled to a release from pledge
under the Pledge Agreement of shares of
<PAGE>
 
Mr. J. Steven Wilson
Wilson Financial Corporation

Page -3-


common stock of Riverside so that the market value of the Collateral Stock shall
not exceed twice the principal balance of the Loan at the time.

     4.   Nature of the Collateral.  All of the Collateral Stock  shall have
been fully paid and nonassessable for more than three (3) years.  All of such
Collateral Stock shall be subject to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 and
quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market and shall be freely transferable (subject to
applicable securities laws) and free of liens, pledges and security interests
except as specifically permitted by the terms of the Pledge Agreement and as
provided above.

B.   Purchase of Stock.

     1.   Purchase of Riverside Shares.  Imagine shall purchase from Wilson,
and Wilson shall sell to Imagine, 520,000 shares of the common capital stock of
Riverside currently held by Wilson (collectively, the "Purchase Stock") for the
sum of $3.00 per share, for a total purchase price of $1,560,000 (the "Purchase
Price").  The Purchase Price for the Purchase Stock shall be paid (i) by the
payment to Robert T. Shaw ("Shaw") of the $1,195,285.93, balance of accrued
interest and principal of that certain Loan made by Shaw to Wilson as of
September 10, 1996 (the "Shaw Loan"), which Shaw by his agreement hereto agrees
to accept as payment in full of all obligations under the Shaw Loan, and (ii) by
the payment of the $364,714.07 balance of the Purchase Price by Imagine by wire
transfer or personal check (subject to Paragraph C.1. below).  All of the
Purchase Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable and shall have been held by
Wilson for more than three (3) years, subject to sale under the provisions of
Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 and shall be fully transferable and free
of all liens, pledges and security interests.

     2.   Partial Release of Pledge.  Shaw hereby releases from the pledge to 
Shaw under the Stock Pledge Agreement of September 10, 1996, between Wilson
and Shaw (the "Original Pledge Agreement") all of the 350,000 shares of such
Riverside common stock which is currently collateral for the Shaw Loan, and
Wilson hereby instructs Shaw to deliver to Imagine all of the certificates
representing such 350,000 shares.  Wilson hereby agrees to deliver to Imagine
stock certificates representing an additional 300,542 shares of common stock of
Riverside, along with (i) duly executed stock powers transferring 520,000 of the
aggregate 650,542 shares to Imagine in satisfaction of Wilson's obligation to
sell the Purchase Stock and (ii) stock powers duly executed in blank with
respect to the remaining 130,542 of such shares pledged to Imagine under the
Pledge Agreement.  Steven hereby consents and agrees to the
<PAGE>
 
Mr. J. Steven Wilson

Page -4-


foregoing release and waives all guarantors' defenses related thereto.  In
furtherance thereof, Imagine may present the stock certificates representing the
Purchase Stock to Riverside and direct Riverside to issue a new stock
certificate to Imagine in Imagine's name.

     3.   Piggy-Back Rights.  Wilson hereby assigns to Imagine its "piggyback" 
registration rights under any and all securities law registration rights
agreements with respect to the Purchase Stock (and the Collateral Stock to the
extent Imagine enforces its security interest with respect thereto), including
those pursuant to the Agreement attached hereto and made a part hereof as
Exhibit B.

     4.   Tag-Along Rights.  If Wilson or Steven shall, at any time and from
time to time until November 1, 2027, propose to sell any of common stock of
Riverside (the "Common Stock") held by either of them, or to otherwise transfer
any of the Common Stock, directly or indirectly, Wilson and Steven, and/or
either or both of them that is selling or transferring such Common Stock, shall:

          a.   Give written notice to Imagine by certified or registered mail
     (return receipt requested) or by hand delivery (with a return receipt) as
     promptly as practicable (but in no event less than fifteen (15) days prior
     to such sale or transfer) of all the details, price and terms of such sale
     or transfer and the identity of the party to whom such Common Stock is to
     be transferred; and

          b.   Include in such sale or transfer, the number of shares of the
     Purchase Stock specified by Imagine in a written notice to be given by
     Imagine to Wilson or Steven, as applicable, within ten (10) days after
     Imagine's receipt of the notice provided for in clause 4a. above, not to
     exceed that percentage of the Purchase Stock equal to the percentage of the
     total number of shares of Common Stock of Wilson and Steven, as applicable,
     being included in such sale or transfer, after giving effect to any other
     exercise of similar rights previously granted by either to Kenneth M.
     Kirschner, all on the same terms and conditions as Wilson and/or Steven are
     selling such Common Stock.

          c.   Imagine shall bear its own legal expenses and sales commission in
     connection with participating in such sale or transfer, but Wilson and
     Steven shall pay all other expenses of Imagine in connection with such sale
     or transfer.

          d.   The provisions of this Paragraph B.4 shall not apply to:
<PAGE>
 
Mr. J. Steven Wilson

Page -5-


               (i) any pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance to a lender in a
          bona fide loan transaction and any sale or transfer to or by such
          lender after default conditions of the pledge thereof;

               (ii) any sale or transfer (whether or not for consideration) to

          outstanding shares of Common Stock; and

               (iv) any gift, so long as the transferee agrees in writing to

               untrue or materially misleading;

               property or Maker's failure to pay, withhold, collect or remit

<PAGE>
 

          (g)  If any representation, warranty or other statement of fact made
               by Maker or any Guarantor in any other Security Document shall be

               trustee or the equivalent which is not removed or dismissed
               within thirty (30) days thereafter;

          (i)  There shall hereafter occur any material and adverse change in
               the business operations and condition, financial or otherwise, of
               Maker or any Guarantor or in the value of the collateral securing
               repayment of this Note; and

          (j)  If a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in the

               unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days.

     9.   No Waiver, Remedies. The failure of Payee to exercise any of its
rights and remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise them
at that or any other time. All rights and remedies of Payee in the event
of a default shall be cumulative to the greatest extent permitted by law.

                       UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY AGREEMENT
                       --------------------------------

be bound by all of the terms of this Note (as the same may be extended or
renewed). The undersigned waives all rights and subrogation with respect to this
Note or any collateral securing its payment and all rights of recourse or
indemnity until this Note and all other obligations of Maker to lender shall
have been fully paid. If any payment made by Maker to Lender later deemed to be
a preference or otherwise required to be repaid or returned, the amount of such
return or repayment shall continue to be covered by this Guaranty. THE
UNDERSIGNED HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THE
UNDERSIGNED MAY HAVE TO A TRAIL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED
HEREON OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS

NOTE. THE UNDERSIGNED AGREES THAT THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE AND IS DEEMED TO BE

     The liability of the undersigned shall in no way be affected by any renewal
or extension of time of payment of any instrument, indebtedness or liability, or
by any release or surrender of other security or collateral or guaranty, or by
delay in enforcement of payment of the principal or interest or of any security
connected therewith, or by any other indulgence Lender may grant Maker. Lender
may employ Maker as collection agent for all purposes of demanding and securing
payment of any or all of the instruments or liability.

     The undersigned hereby declares to and covenants with lender, its
successors or assigns, that the undersigned has no defense whatever to any
action, suit or other proceedings, at law or otherwise, that may be instituted
under or on account of this Guaranty, including all questions as to the
validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligation of Maker.

     Notwithstanding the death of the undersigned, this instrument shall be
binding on the estate of the decedent as to any obligation incurred either
before or after or extended after such death.

     Lender shall not be bound to exhaust its recourse against or upon the
security or collateral it may hold or against any other person before being
entitled to payment from the undersigned or any of them of the amount hereby
guaranteed. This Guaranty Agreement constitutes a guaranty of payment.

                            STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

  This Stock Pledge Agreement is entered into and effective as of November 28,
1997, by and between Wilson Financial Corporation ("Borrower"), a Florida
corporation and Imagine Investments, Inc. ("Lender"), a Delaware corporation
having its principal office in Dallas, Texas.

  Recitals:

  A. Pursuant to the terms of that certain Term Promissory Note of even date
herewith executed by Borrower in favor of Lender in the original principal
amount of Four Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($440,000.00), as the same may
hereafter be amended or otherwise modified from time to time in writing by the
parties thereto (the "Note"), Lender has agreed to extend and amend a term loan
(the "Term Loan") to Borrower in such amount as evidenced by the Note.

  B. In order to induce Lender to make the loan evidenced by the Note, without 
which inducement Lender would be unwilling to do so, Borrower has agreed to 
pledge 130,542 shares of the issued and outstanding common capital stock of 
Riverside Group, Inc. (the "Corporation") (the "Stock") to Lender, to secure the
payment of the Term Loan.

  Agreement:

  Now, Therefore, the parties hereby agree as follows:

  1. Pledge and Deposit of Shares. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants a
security interest to Lender in 130,542 shares of the Stock, as represented by
Certificate Nos. 24985, 24862, 24,840 and 19700 now standing in Borrower's name
and constituting approximately one and nine-tenths percent (1.9%) of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of the Corporation, which certificates have been
delivered herewith by Borrower to Lender, together with duly executed blank
stock powers attached thereto, all as collateral security for the full and
punctual payment and due performance by Borrower of (i) the Note and (ii) all
other liabilities, obligations and indebtedness of whatever kind of Borrower to
Lender, whether created directly or acquired by Lender by assignment or
otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter created, arising or acquired,
absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or to become due, and including,
but not limited to, future advances by Lender to Borrower. All of the foregoing
are referred to collectively herein as the "Secured Obligations."

     1.1  Further Pledge and Deliveries. The certificates or other instruments
evidencing all new shares of capital stock and all other securities, rights,
warrants, options and the like hereafter created in respect of the Stock,
whether by stock split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or otherwise,
shall be delivered by Borrower to, and shall be held by, Lender under the terms
and conditions of this Stock Pledge Agreement and subject to the pledge and
security interest herein
<PAGE>


granted, and the term "Stock" as used herein shall be deemed to include all such
new shares, securities, rights, warrants, options and the like. At its sole 
option, Lender may transfer the shares of Stock into its own name.

  2. Covenants. During the period the Stock is being held as security hereunder,
Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, allow the
Corporation to (i) issue any additional capital stock or other equity securities
of any kind or options, subscription rights, warrants or other instruments with
respect thereto or any other instruments convertible into shares of its capital
stock, or sell or issue any treasury stock, (ii) merge into or with or
consolidate with any other corporation or business or otherwise participate in
any reorganization or sell or lease to others all or substantially all of its
assets, (iii) amend its Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws in any manner that
would have a material adverse effect on Lender's rights with respect to the
Stock, or liquidate or dissolve or take any steps to effect same, or (iv) effect
a recapitalization or alter its capital structure.

  3. Voting Rights; Dividends, Etc. So long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or
consensual rights and powers relating or pertaining to the Stock or any part
thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Stock Pledge
Agreement.

     3.1  Upon Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, immediately upon the occurrence of any "Event of Default", as
hereinafter defined, Lender shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights and
privileges whatsoever with respect to the Stock, and to that end Borrower
hereby constitutes Lender as its proxy and attorney-in-fact for all purposes of
voting the Stock, and this appointment shall be deemed coupled with an interest
and is and shall be irrevocable until the Indebtedness has been fully paid and
this Security Agreement terminated, and all persons whatsoever shall be
conclusively entitled to rely upon Lender's verbal or written certification that
it is entitled to vote the Stock hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver
to Lender any and all additional proxies and powers of attorney that Lender may
desire in order to vote more effectively the Stock in its own name. Upon any
Event of Default hereunder, Lender may vote the Stock to remove the directors
and officers of the Corporation and to elect new such officers and directors who
shall thereafter manage the affairs of the Corporation, operate any of its
properties and carry on any business and otherwise take any action with respect
thereto as they shall deem necessary and appropriate and may also liquidate the
Corporation and its business, and may authorize the borrowing of money in the
name of the Corporations and the pledge of their assets to secure such
borrowing.

(a) the Stock is validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable
and constitutes approximately ______ percent (__%) of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of the Corporation, (b) Borrower is the registered and absolute
beneficial owner of approximately forty-eight percent (48%) of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Corporation, (c) all of the Stock is free and
clear of liens, charges and encumbrances in favor of persons other than Lender,
(d) Borrower has the full power and authority to pledge the Stock to Lender

Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be 
arbitrarily withheld so long as this Stock Pledge Agreement is in effect.

stock was acquired from the Corporation or one of its affiliates and if fully 
paid and non-assessable for more than three years and (ii) Borrower is an 
affiliate of the Corporation.  Borrower covenants and agrees that, during any 
period of sale or liquidation of the Stock by Lender, Borrower shall not sell 
any other stock of the Corporation if such sale would restrict or limit Lender's
sale of the Stock under S.E.C. rule 144 or if such sale by Borrower would cause 
or contribute to a decline in the share price of the Stock.  Borrower further 
agrees in the event of any such sale or liquidation by Lender, to execute any 
and all forms, including but not limited to Forms 144 and customary broker's and
seller's representation letters, to enable Lender to effect the sale of the 
Stock.

     4.2  Further Steps.  Borrower shall further take all necessary actions to

effectuation of the sale of the Stock including, at Borrower's expense, the 
supplying of opinions of counsel customarily required to effect such sales.

from time to time pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental 
charges imposed upon the Stock by any federal, state or local authority, the 
liens of which would or might be held prior to the right of Lender in and to the
Stock or which are imposed on the holders and/or registered owners of the Stock.
Borrower shall not, at any time while this Stock Pledge Agreement is in effect, 
do or suffer any act or thing whereby the rights of Lender in the Stock would 
or might be materially impaired or diminished. Borrower shall execute and
deliver such further documents and take such further actions as may be required
to confirm the rights of Lender in and to the Stock or otherwise to effectuate
the intention of this Stock Pledge Agreement. Borrower shall perform all terms
of the indebtedness and obligations to Bank of Boston secured by the first
priority pledge of and security interest in any portion of capital stock of the
Corporation pledged to Bank of Boston and shall pay all of such indebtedness and
related obligations according to their terms.

other related instrument or agreement;

     6.3  Breach of Covenants, Etc. If any covenant, representation or warranty
made in this Stock Pledge Agreement or in any other Security Document or related
instruments or agreements executed by Borrower in connection with the loan
secured hereby shall prove to be untrue and misleading in any respect.

     6.4  Default Under Other Financing. If Borrower is in default or breach of
its obligations to Bank of Boston beyond any applicable period of grace or for
cure of such default or breach.

  7. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default referred
to in Section 6 above, Lender shall have all rights and remedies in and against
the Stock and otherwise of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as
enacted in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the State of Florida (the "UCC") and
all other applicable laws and shall also have all of the rights provided herein,
in the Note and in all other Security Documents, all of which rights and
remedies shall be cumulative to the fullest extent permitted by law. In
connection with the foregoing, Lender shall have the right:

     7.1  Right of Sale. To declare the Note and the other Indebtedness
immediately due and payable in full, and to sell the Stock in one or more lots,
and from time to time, upon ten (10) business days' prior to written notice to
Borrower of the time and place of sale (which notice Borrower hereby
conclusively agrees is commercially reasonable), for cash or upon credit or for
future delivery, Borrower hereby waiving all rights, if any, of marshaling the
Stock and any other security for the payment of the Note and other Indebtedness,
and at the option and in the sole discretion of Lender, to either:

     7.2  Public Sale. Sell the Stock at a public sale or sales, including a 
sale at or on any broker's board or stock exchange; or

     7.3  Private Sale. Sell the Stock at a private sale or sales.

     7.4  Lender May Purchase. Lender may bid for and acquire the Stock or any
portion thereof at any public sale, free from any redemption rights of Borrower,
and in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the selling price
of the Stock or any part thereof by crediting the net selling price of the Stock
against the Note and other Indebtedness, after deducting all of Lender's costs
and expenses of every kind and nature therefrom, including Lender's attorneys'
fees incurred in connection realizing upon the Stock, provided the same is not
prohibited by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

     7.5  Postponement. From time to time Lender may, but shall not be obligated
to, postpone the time of any proposed sale of any of the Stock, which has been
the subject of a notice as provided above, and also, upon ten (10) days' prior
written notice to Borrower (which notice Borrower conclusively agrees is
commercially reasonable), may change the time and/or place of such sale.

     7.6  Tender. In the case of any sale by Lender of the Stock or any portion
thereof on credit or for future delivery, which may be elected at the option and
in the sole discretion of Lender, the Stock so sold may, at the sole option of
Lender, either be delivered to the purchaser or retained by Lender until the
selling price is paid by the purchaser, but in either event Lender shall incur
no liability, to Borrower or otherwise, in case of failure of the purchaser to
take up and pay for the Stock so sold. In case of any such failure, such Stock
may be sold again by Lender in the manner provided in this Section 7.

     7.7  Costs and Expenses. After deducting all of Lender's costs and expenses
of every kind, including, but not limited to, legal fees and registration 
(Securities and Exchange Commission and other) fees and expenses, if any, 
incurred in connection with the sale of the Stock, Lender shall apply the 
residue of the proceeds of any sale or sales of the Stock against Indebtedness, 
in the order of priority elected by Lender. Lender shall not incur any liability
to Borrower or otherwise as a result of the sale of the Stock at any private 
sale or sales, and Borrower hereby waives any claim arising by reason of (i) the
fact that the price or prices for which the Stock or any portion thereof is sold
at such private sale or sales is less than the price which would have been 
obtained at a public sale or sales or is less than the amount due under the Note
and other obligations secured hereby, even if Lender accepts the first offer 
received and does not offer the Stock or any portion thereof to more than one 
offeree, (ii) any delay by Lender in selling the Stock following an Event of 
Default hereunder, even if the price of the Stock thereafter declines, or (iii) 
the immediate sale of the Stock upon the occurrence of an Event of Default 
hereunder, the applicable grace or cure period having been duly observed prior 
thereto, even if the price of the Stock should thereafter increase. Borrower 
shall remain liable for any deficiency remaining due under the Note, this Stock 
Pledge Agreement any related documents or instruments.

  8. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing

days after being mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage 
prepaid, or (iii) one (1) day after being sent by Federal Express or other
