ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On December 8, 1995, the Registrant, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary H.C. Investments, Inc., completed the acquisition of all of the
issued and outstanding stock of H. C. Connell, Inc. ("Connell"), a Florida
corporation, from H.C. and Lois Connell, for a combination of cash and
promissory notes.  The purchase price for the stock of Connell was
approximately $2.2 million and was composed of:  $500,000 in cash; a $1,465,074
promissory note due and payable on June 8, 1996, bearing interest at 6%; and a
$250,000 promissory note due and payable on December 8, 1996, bearing interest
at prime plus 1% (effective rate on December 8, 1996-9.75%).  The purchase
price was determined by arms-length negotiations between the sellers and the
Registrant and is subject to adjustment based on certain post-closing events.

         The Registrant obtained the cash portion of the purchase price through
the issuance of two promissory notes in the amount of $250,000 each to Messrs.
Bill B. Caudill and Frazier Gaines, both Directors of the Company.  Messrs.
Caudill's and Gaines' notes are due and payable on June 8, 1996, and bear
interest prime plus 1%.  As additional consideration for the loans, the
Registrant has agreed to sell to each of Messrs. Caudill and Gaines 5,000
shares of the Registrant's common stock for $.001 per share.  The closing
market price for the Registrant's common stock on the Nasdaq National Market
System on December 8, 1995 was $7.1875 per share.

         Connell, which is headquartered in Leesburg, Florida, has
approximately 225 employees and is a provider of services to telephone
operators, a power company and various other utility providers in Central
Florida.  Connell will continue to operate separately as part of the
Registrant's telecommunication services division.  H.C. Connell, the founder of
the company, will remain with the company as a consultant for a period of three
years.  In addition, Connell has entered into a three-year, triple net lease
with Mr. Connell for a facility in Leesburg, Florida at an annual base rent of
$57,600.  Connell had fiscal 1995 revenues of approximately $12.4 million.

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         Effective November 29, 1995 the Registrant and SunTrust Bank, South
Florida, N.A. ("SunTrust") entered into a Term Loan and Revolving Line of
Credit Facility with a total aggregate value of $12,500,000 (the "Credit
Facility").  The Credit Facility is comprised of the following components: (i)
a $6,000,000 revolving line of credit (the "Line of Credit"), (ii) a $2,500,000
equipment loan facility (the "Equipment Loan Facility"), (iii) a Term A loan in
the amount of $2,750,000 (the "Term A Loan"), and (iv) a Term B loan in the
amount of $1,250,000 (the "Term B Loan").  The Line of Credit, the Term A Loan
and the Term B Loan are each evidenced by separate promissory notes with
varying maturities.  The Equipment Facility will be evidenced by individual
promissory notes equal to the amount of each Equipment Loan Facility draw made
by Registrant.  Each loan will accrue interest at either SunTrust's prime rate
or, at the Registrant's election, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the Term





                                       2

Loan, Revolving Credit and Security Agreement governing the Credit Facility,
the one (1) month LIBOR rate, plus 2 and 7/8ths percent.  Proceeds from the
Term A, Term B and a portion of the proceeds from the Credit Line were used to
refinance existing debt of the Registrant with First Union National Bank of
Florida, Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc., Merrill Lynch
International Bank, Ltd. and Central Fidelity National Bank.  The balance of
the Line of Credit will be used by Registrant for its working capital needs.
The Equipment Facility will be used to purchase equipment used by Registrant in
its business.

         The Credit Facility contains covenants which require among other
conditions that the Registrant maintain tangible net worth funded debt and debt
service amounts.  In addition, the Registrant is restricted in its repayment
of notes in the principal amount of $1,307,970 due to its shareholders in
January, 1996.  The Credit Facility also imposes restrictions on Registrant's
ability to lend money, guarantee debt, or acquire the assets or stock of other
businesses.  For calculation of all financial covenants under the Credit
Facility, Registrant's acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of the
Connell has been excluded.  The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the following
wholly owned subsidiaries of the Registrant: (i) Transportation Safety
Contractors of Virginia, Inc., (ii) Transportation Safety Contractors, Inc.,
(iii) Able Communications Services, Inc. f/k/a BCD Communications, Inc., and 
(iv) TIPCO, Inc.

To the Director and Stockholders
H. C. Connell, Inc.
Leesburg, Florida


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of H. C. Connell, Inc. as of
June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income and retained
earnings, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of H. C. Connell, Inc. as of June
30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplementary information
contained in Schedules 1 through 5 is presented for purposes of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.  Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

NOTE 1  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

        The Company is a licensed, bonded utility contractor that
        operates in the Central Florida area.  Construction activities
        are primarily underground telephone, electrical power, and water
        and sewer utilities.
        
        Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these
        financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
        accounting principles.  Those estimates and assumptions affect
        the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
        contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and
        expenses.  Actual results could vary from the estimates that were
        used.
        
        Revenue Recognition
        
        Revenues for contracts are recorded using the accrual method
        except for revenues from lump-sum water and sewer construction
        contracts which are recognized using the percentage-of-completion
        method.  Under this method, revenues are measured by the
        percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost of
        each contract.
        
        Contract costs include all direct material, labor and
        sub-contractor costs and those indirect costs related to contract
        performance, such as labor burden and equipment operation and
        maintenance costs, including depreciation.  Other operating and
        administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
        Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made
        in the period in which such losses are determined.  Changes in
        job performance, job conditions, and estimated pro-fitability may
        result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the
        period in which the revisions are determined.
        
        The asset, "Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on
        Uncompleted Contracts", represents revenues recognized in excess
        of amounts billed.  The liability, "Billings in Excess of Costs
        and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts", represents
        billings in excess of revenues recognized.
        
        The Company generally warrants its material and workmanship for
        one year from the date of acceptance by the customer.  Warranty
        costs are charged to expense when incurred.
        
        Cash
        
        For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes
        amounts in demand bank accounts and amounts held by fiscal
        agents.

        Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is
        calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
        useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

        Compensated Absences
        
        The Company changed its vacation policy effective July 1, 1993.
        Employees are now allowed to accumulate vacation days and are
        paid when taken.  Vacation benefits earned on an employee's
        anniversary date must be used within the following year; any
        unused vacation is paid on the succeeding anniversary date.  Upon
        termination, unused vacation is paid to the employee.
        
        Before July 1, 1993, vacation benefits were paid when earned on
        the employee's anniversary date of employment.

        Income Taxes

        Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions
        reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes
        currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to the
        differences between the bases of property and equipment for
        financial and income tax reporting, and from different methods
        for recognizing workers compensation claims disposition
        liabilities.  The deferred taxes represent the future tax return
        consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable
        or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or
        settled.
        
        The basis of property and equipment exceeds its tax basis by the
        cumulative amount that accelerated depreciation for tax purposes
        exceeds straight-line depreciation, and by the amount of salvage
        value excluded from the depreciable basis of heavy construction
        equipment for financial reporting purposes.

NOTE 5  MAJOR CUSTOMERS (continued)

        The current contract with United Telephone expires August 31,

        Florida Power district are in effect or have been renewed with
        expiration dates of September 2, 1996 and October 1, 1996,
        respectively.


NOTE 6  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        The Company's headquarters is located at a site owned by H. C.
        Connell, the majority stockholder.  The Company and Mr. Connell
        have entered into a lease agreement with terms that are re-viewed
        annually.  For each of the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,
        the Company incurred and paid $57,600 in rent to Mr.  Connell.
        
        As of June 30, 1995 and 1994, Mr. Connell owed the Company $1,539
        and $2,010, respectively.  This loan has no stated rate of
        interest nor terms of repayment.  However, management expects the
        balance to be repaid during the next year.


NOTE 7  SELF-INSURANCE PROGRAM

        The Company participates in a self-insurance program with
        Employers Self Insurers Fund for workers' compensation insurance
        coverage.  Under the terms of the program, the Company reimburses
        the Fund for all claims paid up to an annual maximum obligation
        based on a percentage of standard premium.  Claims paid above
        this annual maximum amount are the responsibility of the Fund.
        
        The Company is required to maintain a minimum balance of $25,000
        with the Fund to service claims, which is included on the balance
        sheet as "Cash with Fiscal Agent".  Additionally, at the
        Insurance Fund's request, the Company has issued the Fund an
        irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $650,000 in
        order to provide the Fund with continuing financial security.
        
        Company management has analyzed the open workers compensation
        cases for all years since the Company entered the program in
        1987.  As of June 30, 1995, management estimates a total
        potential exposure of $219,000 from remaining open cases.
        Management has authorized its fiscal agent to settle two cases
        for a total of $85,000, and this amount has accordingly been
        recorded as a current liability at June 30, 1995.  Of the
        remaining potential exposure of $134,000, the Company maintains

        a policy of recording workers compensation expense when the Fund

To the Director and Stockholders
H. C. Connell, Inc.
Leesburg, Florida


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of H. C. Connell, Inc. as of
June 30, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of income and retained
earnings, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of H. C. Connell, Inc. as of June
30, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplementary information
contained in Schedules 1 through 5 is presented for purposes of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.  Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             JUNE 30, 1994 AND 1993
______________________________________________________________________


NOTE 1  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

        Revenue Recognition
        
        Revenues for contracts are recorded using the accrual method
        except for revenues from lump-sum water and sewer construction
        contracts which are recognized using the percentage-of-completion
        method.  Under this method, revenues are measured by the
        percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost of
        each contract.
        
        Contract costs include all direct material, labor and
        sub-contractor costs and those indirect costs related to contract
        performance, such as labor burden and equipment operation and
        maintenance costs, including depreciation.  Other operating and
        administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
        Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made
        in the period in which such losses are determined.  Changes in
        job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may
        result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the
        period in which the revisions are determined.
        
        The asset, "Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on
        Uncompleted Contracts", represents revenues recognized in excess
        of amounts billed.  The liability, "Billings in Excess of Costs
        and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts", represents
        billings in excess of revenues recognized.
        
        The Company generally warrants its material and workmanship for
        one year from the date of acceptance by the customer.  Warranty
        costs are charged to expense when incurred.
        
        Cash
        
        Included in the balance captioned cash are amounts deposited in
        interest bearing and non-interest bearing bank accounts.
        
        Accounts Receivable
        
        Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value.  No
        allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided since, in
        management's judgment based on an analysis of specific accounts
        over 90 days old, the balance is entirely collectible.

______________________________________________________________________


NOTE 1  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)

        Property and Equipment
        
        Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is
        calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
        useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
        
          Building and Improvements          10-25 Years 
          Furniture and Office Equipment         5 Years 
          Construction Equipment                 5 Years 
          Vehicles and Trailers               3-10 Years
        
        Compensated Absences
        
        The Company changed its vacation policy effective July 1, 1993.
        Employees are now allowed to accumulate vacation days and are
        paid when taken.  Vacation benefits earned on an employee's
        anniversary date must be used within the following year; any
        unused vacation is paid on the succeeding anniversary date.  Upon
        termination, unused vacation is paid to the employee.
        
        Before July 1, 1993, vacation benefits were paid when earned on
        the employee's anniversary date of employment.
        
        Income Taxes
        
        Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions
        reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes
        currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to the
        difference between the bases of property and equipment for
        financial and income tax reporting.  The deferred taxes represent
        the future tax return consequences of those differences, which
        will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and
        liabilities are recovered or settled.
        
        The basis of property and equipment exceeds its tax basis by the
        cumulative amount that accelerated depreciation for tax purposes
        exceeds straight-line depreciation, and by the amount of salvage
        value excluded from the depreciable basis of heavy construction
        equipment for financial reporting purposes.


NOTE 2  CASH WITH FISCAL AGENT

        As a part of the agreement to participate in the workers'
        compensation plan administered by Employers Self Insurers Fund,
        the Company is required to maintain a minimum balance of $25,000
        with the Fund to service claims.

              At June 30, 1993, the Company used a State net operating loss
              carryforward of $120,664 available from June 30, 1992 to reduce
              State income taxes currently payable by approximately $6,600.

              The following State Emergency Excise Tax credits are available to
              reduce future State income taxes:

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             JUNE 30, 1994 AND 1993
______________________________________________________________________


NOTE 7  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        The Company's headquarters is located at a site owned by H. C.
        Connell, the majority stockholder.  The Company and Mr. Connell
        have entered into a lease agreement with terms that are re-viewed
        annually.  For each of the years ended June 30, 1994 and 1993,
        the Company incurred and paid $57,600 in rent to Mr.  Connell.
        
        As of June 30, 1994 and 1993, Mr. Connell owed the Company $2,010
        and $1,292, respectively.  This loan has no stated rate of
        interest nor terms of repayment.  However, management expects the
        balance to be repaid during the next year.
        
        As of June 30, 1993, Mr. Connell loaned $50,000 to the Company to
        provide temporary working capital.  This loan was repaid during
        the year ended June 30, 1994 with interest.


NOTE 8  SELF-INSURANCE PROGRAM

        The Company participates in a self-insurance program with
        Employers Self Insurers Fund for workers' compensation insurance
        coverage.  Under the terms of the program, the Company reimburses
        the Fund for all claims paid up to an annual maximum obligation
        based on a percentage of standard premium.  Claims paid above
        this annual maximum amount are the responsibility of the Fund.
        Additionally, at the Insurance Fund's request, the Company has
        issued the Fund an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the
        amount of $515,900 in order to provide the Fund with continuing
        financial security.
        
        Company management has analyzed the open workers compensation
        cases for all years since the Company entered the program in
        1987.  As of June 30, 1994, management estimates a total
        potential exposure of $167,000 from remaining open cases.  Due to
        uncertainty regarding the timing and amount of actual payments
        inherent with workers compensation claims administration, the
        Company maintains a policy of recording workers compensation
        expense when the Fund bills the Company for reimbursement of
        actual claims paid.


NOTE 9  CONTINGENCIES

        There are claims and actions pending against the Company.  In the
        opinion of management, the amounts, if any, which may be awarded
        in connection with these claims and actions would not be material
        to the Company's financial position.

NOTE 9  CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

        As a result of its examination of the corporate income tax return
        for the year ended June 30, 1991, the Internal Revenue Service
        has proposed a tax assessment of $40,950 on earnings accumulated
        in excess of reasonable needs.  Management disagrees with this
        proposed assessment and is vigorously opposing the tax.  An
        appellate hearing has been requested to review this dispute.
        Management believes they have a strong argument supporting the
        Company's position, and, therefore, has made no provision for
        this tax in the accompanying financial statements.

The Closing Financial Statements, which shall be appended to this Agreement
following the Closing as Post-Closing Schedule 1, shall be prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on the same
basis and in accordance with the same practice standards and procedures used in
the preparation of the unaudited financial statements of the Company for the

and in accordance with all books, records and accounts of the Company, which
shall be true, correct and complete, and shall present fairly the consolidated
financial position of the Company as of the date of such audited financial
statements.  The Closing Net Book Value, which shall be set forth on
Post-Closing Schedule 2, shall be certified by Sellers and audited by
Shumacker, Johnston & Ross, P.A., which shall issue an unqualified report
thereon.  For the purpose of this Agreement, the term "Closing Net Book Value"

adjustment is provided below) determined in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principals consistently applied.

                 (b)      Objections.

                          (i)     Purchaser and its representatives shall have
the right to review all work papers and procedures used to prepare the Closing
Financial Statements and the calculation of the Closing Net Book Value, and
shall have the right to perform any other reasonable procedures necessary to
verify the accuracy thereof.  Unless Purchaser, within 30 days after delivery
to Purchaser of the Closing Financial Statements and the calculation of the
Closing Net Book Value, notifies Sellers in writing that it objects to the
Closing Financial Statements and/or the calculation of the Closing Net Book
Value, and specifies the basis for such objection, such Closing Financial
Statements and Closing Net Book Value shall become final, binding and
conclusive upon the parties for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however,
that the fact that the Closing Financial Statements and Closing Net Book Value
become final, binding and conclusive shall not affect in any manner the
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

                          (ii)    If Purchaser and Sellers are unable to
resolve any objections to the Closing Financial Statements or the calculation
of the Closing Net Book Value within 10 days after any such notification has
been given, the dispute shall be referred to [DESIGNATE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

                 (c)      Purchase Price Adjustment.

                          (i)     Upon the Closing Financial Statements and the
Closing Net Book Value becoming final, binding and conclusive as set forth
above, if the Closing Net Book Value is greater than $____________ [INSERT BOOK
VALUE PER AUG. 31 STATEMENT], the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward,
dollar-for-dollar, by such difference (such difference, if any, hereinafter
shall be referred to as the "Net Book Value Excess"); if the Closing Net Book
Value is less than $____________, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted
downward, dollar-for-dollar, by such difference (such difference, if any,
hereinafter shall be referred to as the "Net Book Value Deficiency"); if the
amount in respect of the line-item "cash and cash equivalents" included in the
Financial Statements is less than $400,000, the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted downward, dollar-for-dollar, by such difference (the amount of such
downward adjustment, if any, hereinafter shall be referred to as the "Cash and
Cash Equivalents Deficiency").  Any net upward or downward adjustments to the
Purchase Price resulting from the calculation of the Net Book Value Excess, Net
Book Value Deficiency and/or the Cash and Cash Equivalents Deficiency shall
hereinafter be referred to as the "Purchase Price Increase" or the "Purchase
Price Decrease," respectively, as the case may be.

                          (ii)    Within five days after the determination of
the Purchase Price adjustments, if any, required by Section 3(c)(i), the
Purchase Price shall be adjusted and/or paid as follows:

                                  (A)      If there is a Purchase Price
Increase, Purchaser and Sellers shall instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse
from the Adjustment Escrow to Sellers the total amount held in such Adjustment
Escrow, and Purchaser shall pay to Sellers, in cash, an amount equal to the
Purchase Price Increase;

                                  (B)      If there is a Purchase Price
Decrease, (i) Purchaser and Sellers shall instruct the Escrow Agent to
immediately disburse to Purchaser from the Adjustment Escrow an amount equal to
the Purchase Price Decrease, (ii) Purchaser and Seller shall instruct the
Escrow Agent to disburse to Sellers the balance, if any, of the Adjustment
Escrow.  If the Purchase Price Decrease exceeds $250,000, then Sellers shall
immediately pay to Purchaser the excess of the Purchase Price Decrease over
$250,000.

                 The Purchase Price Adjustment, if any, shall be set forth on
Post-Closing Schedule 3, which shall be appended to this Agreement.

                 (y)      Accounts and Notes Receivable.   Except as set forth
on Schedule 6(y), the Company has no accounts receivable other than those of
customers.  The reserves for uncollectible items shown on the Financial are
sufficient in amount.  The books and records of the Company state correctly the
facts stated therein with respect to each Receivable and the balance due
thereon.  Each payment reflected on such books and records as having been made
on each such Receivable was made by the respective account debtor and not
directly or indirectly by any shareholder, director, officer, employee or agent
of the Company.  At least [95 PERCENT] of such Receivables shall be collectible
in their full recorded amount (without giving effect to any reserves and
including any accounts or notes receivable written off after _____________),
with no offset or counterclaim prior to the date that is 120 days past the
Closing Date, except for the notes listed on Schedule 6(y) which have a later
maturity date, as indicated on such Schedule, which notes shall be paid on or
before such maturity dates.  Sellers have caused the Company to deliver to
Purchaser an aged list of unpaid accounts and notes receivable owing to the
Company from third parties as of ____________ and shall cause the Company to
furnish to Purchaser an aged accounts receivable schedule as of a date within
five days prior to the Closing Date.  Each Receivable and each such document
and instrument and each transaction underlying or relating to it conforms in
all material respects, including, without limitation, in respect of interest
rates charged, notices given and disclosures made, to the requirements and
provisions of each applicable law, rule or regulation relating to credit,
consumer credit, credit practices, credit advertising, credit reporting, retail
installment sales, credit cards, collections, usury, interest rates and
truth-in-lending, including, without limitation, the Federal Truth in Lending
Act, as amended and Regulation Z issued by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System thereunder.

                 (z)      Customers.  Schedule 6(z) is a true and complete list
of the [10] largest customers (measured by U.S. dollar volume in each case) of
the Company during each of the last two fiscal years, showing, with respect to
each, the name and dollar volume involved which each such customer represented.
The Company is not required to provide any bonding or other financial security
arrangements in connection with any transactions with any of its customers in
the ordinary course of its business, except as provided on Schedule 6(z).
Except as set forth on Schedule 6(z), the Company is not engaged in any
material disputes with its customers.  Sellers are unaware of any loss or
threatened loss of any customer, supplier, distributor, or account of the
Company which is material to the business of the Company nor are Sellers aware
of any customer  which is considering termination, nonrenewal or any adverse
modification of its arrangements with the Company.  While the Sellers are not
able to guarantee that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not
have an adverse effect on Purchaser's relationship with any of the Company's
customers or suppliers after the Closing Date, and the Sellers are making no
representation to such effect, Sellers have no knowledge of any specific





                                       22

reason why any customer or supplier will not continue to do business with the
Company or any expressed intent not to so continue.

                 (aa)     Warranties.  Schedule 6(aa) is a true and complete
list of the warranty bonds and Contracts with express warranty provisions under
which the Company is obligated to provide repairs or replacements.

                 (bb)     Miscellaneous.

                          (i)     Prepaid Items.  Except as provided on
Schedule 6(bb)(i), the assets of the Company recorded on the Financials do not
and will not include any contracts for future services or prepaid items or
deferred charges, the full value or benefit of which will not be usable by the
Company, or any goodwill, organization expense or other intangible asset.

                          (ii)    Affiliated Transactions.  Schedule 6(bb)(ii)
lists all amounts paid (or deemed for accounting purposes to have been paid) by
the Company to, or received by the Company from, Sellers or any of Sellers'
affiliates during the current and the last three fiscal years for products or
services (including any charge for management, interest, capital employed,
administrative, purchasing, financial or other services).

                          (iii)   Bank Accounts; Officers; Directors; Credit
Cards.  Schedule 6(bb)(iii) is a list of all bank accounts and safe deposit
boxes in the name of or controlled by the Company and details about the persons
having access thereto.  Schedule 6(bb)(iii) also contains a list of all
officers, directors and managers of the Company and all credit cards under
which the Company has current or future liability and the names of the persons
holding such cards.  All personal charges made on such credit cards through the
Closing Date shall be paid to the Company by the holders of such cards on or
prior to the payment date for such charges.

                          (iv)    Business Generally.  Since January 1, 1995,
to the best knowledge of Sellers and the Company, there have been no events,
transactions or information affecting or relating to the Company specifically
which could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the
business and operations of the Company.

                          (v)     Interruption of Business.  The Company has
not suffered or experienced any interruption of its business and operations at
any time during the past five years.

                          (vi)    No Brokers or Finders.  No person or entity
is entitled to any brokerage commission, finder's fees, advisory or other like
payment from the Company or Sellers in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.

                          (vii)   Minute Books.  The minute books of the
Company, as previously made available to Purchaser, contain complete and
accurate records of all meetings and accurately reflect all other corporate
action of the respective shareholders and board of directors of the Company.

                          (viii)  Disclosures.  No representation or warranty
by Sellers contained in this Agreement, and no statement contained in any
certificate, Schedule, Exhibit, list or other writing furnished to Purchaser by
or at the direction of the Company or the Sellers in connection with this
transaction, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or
therein not misleading.  All Schedules and Exhibits hereto are true and
complete.

                 7.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER

                 Purchaser represents and warrants to Sellers, as follows:

                 (a)      Organization, Standing and Power.  Purchaser is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of [FLORIDA].  Purchaser has all requisite corporate power
and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all other
writings relating hereto.

                 (b)      Authority.  The execution, delivery and performance

or otherwise, by the shareholders of Purchaser.  This Agreement and all other
writings relating hereto to be signed by Purchaser constitute the valid and
binding obligations of Purchaser enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any
other writing relating hereto nor the consummation by Purchaser of the

any of the provisions hereof or thereof, will: (i) conflict with or result in a
breach of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of Purchaser; (ii)
violate any statute, law, rule or regulation or any order, writ, injunction or
decree of any court or governmental authority; or (iii) violate or conflict
with or constitute a default under (or give rise to any right of termination,

restriction of any kind to which Purchaser is a party or by which it or its
assets or properties may be bound.

                 (c)      Approvals.  No consent or approval of or notification
to any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution and
delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement, any writing relating hereto or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  There are no
claims, actions, suits, inquiries, proceedings or investigations pending or, to
the best of Purchaser's knowledge, after due inquiry, threatened against
Purchaser or any affiliate or their respective businesses which might enjoin,
delay or prevent consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

                 8.       ESCROW FUNDS

                 Contemporaneously with the Closing hereunder and pursuant to
Sections 2(b)(ii) and (iii) hereof, Purchaser shall cause to be deposited into
interest bearing escrow accounts (the "Escrow Funds") established with the
Escrow Agent, an amount equal to $250,000 in each





                                       24
<PAGE>   32

Escrow Fund.  The Escrow Agent shall serve as trustee over such funds in
accordance with the Escrow Agreements.  The Escrow Agent shall be authorized to
disburse the Escrow Funds, or portions thereof, only pursuant to and in
accordance with the Escrow Agreements.

                 9.       SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                 All representations and warranties made by any party to this
Agreement or pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing hereunder for a period
of two years from the Closing Date except that the representations and
warranties contained in or made pursuant to Paragraphs 6(b), 6(f), 6(g), shall
survive the Closing hereunder indefinitely and the representations and
warranties contained in or made pursuant to Paragraph 6(k) hereof shall survive
the Closing hereunder until six months after the expiration of the applicable
statutes of limitations relating to taxes (including any extensions thereof).
The expiration of any representation or warranty shall not affect any claim
made in writing prior to the date of such expiration.  The representations and
warranties hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by any investigation
at any time by or on behalf of the party for whose benefit such representations
and warranties were made or by the closing of the transactions contemplated
hereby.  All statements contained herein or in any Schedule, certificate,
Exhibit or list delivered pursuant to this Agreement hereby shall be deemed to
be representations and warranties.

                 10.      CONDUCT AND TRANSACTION PRIOR TO CLOSING

                 (a)      Access to Records and Properties of the Company.
From and after the date hereof until the Closing Date, Sellers shall cause the
Company to afford and, with respect to clause (ii) below, shall cause the
Company's independent public accountants to afford, (i) to the officers,
independent public accountants, counsel and other representatives of Purchaser,
full access at all reasonable times, upon reasonable notice to, and in the
manner agreed by, the Company and Sellers, to the assets, properties,
contracts, premises, books and records (including tax returns filed and those
in preparation) of the Company in order that Purchaser may have full
opportunity to make investigations of the assets and affairs of the Company,
and to such additional financial and operating data and other information about
the business and properties of the Company as Purchaser shall from time to time
reasonably request; and (ii) to the independent public accountants of Purchaser
full (but confidential) access at all reasonable times, upon reasonable notice
to, and in the manner agreed by, the Company's independent public accountants,
to work papers and other records of the Company's independent public
accountants relating to the Company.  Unless and until the acquisition
contemplated herein has been consummated, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its
agents, to hold in confidence all information obtained pursuant to this
Agreement.  If such acquisition is not consummated, Purchaser shall return to
the Company all documents (including any copies thereof) which have been given
by the Company or Sellers to Purchaser and shall destroy all documents
(including any copies thereof) created by Purchaser or its professional
advisors in connection with Purchaser's evaluation of the acquisition
contemplated hereby.  Such obligation of confidentiality shall not extend to
any information which is shown to have been (A) previously known to Purchaser
prior to August 29, 1995, (B) generally known to others engaged in the trade or
business of the





                                       25
<PAGE>   33

Company, (C) part of public knowledge or literature, or (D) lawfully received
by Purchaser from a third party (not including the Company or Sellers).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any investigation made pursuant to clause (i) or
(ii) above shall not affect or otherwise diminish any of the representations
and warranties of sellers hereunder.

                 (b)      Operation of Business of the Company.  From the date

diligently and conducted only in the ordinary course of business consistent
with present practices.

                          (ii)    No change shall be made in the number of

                          (iii)   Sellers shall use their best efforts to
continue the Company's sales and profit margins at not less than the present
rate; to preserve the Company's business organization; to keep available to the
Purchaser the present services of the Company's officers and employees; and to
preserve for Purchaser the goodwill of the Company's suppliers, landlords,

                          (iv)    The Company shall not enter into any Contract

                          (v)     The Company shall maintain in effect all

                          (vi)    The Company shall, consistent with prior
practice, maintain and preserve its assets in good condition and repair,
reasonable wear and tear excepted and shall not dispose of any capital assets
(except for trade-ins or dispositions of obsolete equipment in the normal

                          (vii)   The Company shall maintain its books,
accounts and records in accordance with its customary accounting practices and
in a manner consistent with good business practices.

                          (viii)  The Company shall comply with all material
provisions of law and of its leases and Contracts.

                 (c)      Negative Covenants.  From the date hereof until the
Closing, except as otherwise consented to or approved by an officer of
Purchaser in writing or required by this Agreement, the Company shall not (i)
modify, amend or cancel any of the provisions of any of its leases or material
Contracts, or enter into any new Contract that is not terminable by it on not
more than 30 days' notice; (ii) increase the remuneration (including wages,
bonuses, salaries,





                                       26
<PAGE>   34

expense accounts and benefits of any kind) of any director, officer or employee
of Seller; (iii) alter the premises listed on Schedule 6(m) or 6(n); (iv)
except as provided on Schedule 10(c), permit or suffer any director, officer or
shareholder of the Company or any agent thereof to remove or purchase anything

any one instance exceed $10,000 or in the aggregate exceed $25,000.

                 (d)      Standstill.  Unless the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement shall be terminated as permitted hereunder, neither Sellers nor
the Company shall solicit inquiries or proposals or participate in any
negotiations concerning, or provide any person with any information in
connection with, any acquisition or purchase by merger, consolidation, sale of
stock or assets or otherwise of all or substantially all of the assets or
capital stock of the Company.  Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser if the
Company or Sellers receive any such inquiries or proposals and shall provide
Purchaser with copies of any communications with respect thereto.

                 (e)      Supplements.  From time to time prior to the Closing
Date, Sellers shall furnish and shall cause the Company to furnish to Purchaser
supplemental information with respect to any matters or events arising or
discovered subsequent to the date hereof which, if existing or known on the
date hereof, would have rendered any statement, representation or warranty made
by Sellers or any information contained in any Schedule hereto then inaccurate
or incomplete; the furnishing of such supplemental information shall not,
however, affect or otherwise diminish any of the representations and warranties
of Sellers hereunder.

                 11.      ADDITIONAL COVENANTS.

                 (a)      Employment and Noncompetition Agreements.  At the

reserves therefor reflected on such balance sheet and without giving effect to
any write-off of such receivables after August 31, 1995) and the gross amount
(before any reserves therefor and write-offs) of all accounts, notes and other
receivables of the Company acquired or arising after August 31, 1995 and

the Closing Date), but excluding all receivables from officers of the Company,
which shall be paid in full at the Closing.





                                       27
<PAGE>   35

                          (ii)    After the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause
the Company to use reasonable commercial efforts, consistent with the Company's
past practices, to collect the Guaranteed Receivables.  Purchaser shall not,
however, be obligated to permit the Company or the Subsidiaries to continue to
do business with any person if Purchaser believes such continuation, or
continuation in accordance with past practices, will not be in the Company's or
Subsidiaries' best interests, nor shall Purchaser be obligated to cause or
allow the Company or any Subsidiary to institute legal proceedings to collect
any Guaranteed Receivables or to turn any of the Guaranteed Receivables over to
a collection agency.  Amounts received from account debtors as payment of any
Guaranteed Receivables due from such account debtors shall be applied against
the oldest outstanding Guaranteed Receivables due from such account debtors
except in instances where any such account debtor specifies that such payment
is to be applied in a different manner or if there is a dispute as to the then
outstanding oldest receivable.

                          (iii)   Purchaser shall have the right to assign to
Sellers, without recourse, any Guaranteed Receivables which remain unpaid as of
120 days following the Closing Date, such assignment to be made at any time
thereafter and Sellers jointly and severally shall pay to Purchaser in cash the
face amount of such assigned Guaranteed Receivables within 10 days of a written
notice to Sellers specifying the accounts and amounts involved. At Purchaser's
option in lieu of cash payment by Sellers as provided for in the preceding
sentence, Purchaser may offset the amount of such uncollectible Guaranteed
Receivables against amounts held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

                          (iv)    Nothing contained herein shall affect the
representations and warranties contained in section 6(y) hereof.

                 (d)      Just prior to the Closing, Sellers shall introduce
those representatives of Purchaser as Purchaser shall designate to the
Company's largest customer and shall use their best efforts to cause such
customer to acknowledge that it does not plan to terminate its existing
relationship with the Company following the Closing, subject to any termination
provisions which presently exist with respect to those relationships.

                 12.      TAX MATTERS.

                 (a)      The tax reports and returns of the Company for the
period ended June 30, 1995, and for the period from July 1, 1995 up to and
including the Closing Date, shall be promptly prepared by Sellers after the
Closing Date.  All such tax reports and returns shall be prepared in accordance
with the Financials or the Closing Financial Statements, as the case may be.
At least 15 days prior to the due date of any such returns, Sellers shall cause
such returns to be delivered to Purchaser for its review, and no such returns
shall be filed without Purchaser's consent.  To the extent that Purchaser
questions any item on the reports or returns, and the Purchaser and Sellers are
unable to resolve any such questions within 10 days, such dispute will be
submitted for binding arbitration to the Reviewing Firm, the cost of which
shall be is shared equally by the parties.





                                       28
<PAGE>   36

                 (b)      Sellers and Purchaser agree that, for purposes of
reporting and paying federal and state income taxes, the Company's books will
be closed as of the Closing Date so that each item of income, loss, deduction
or credit shall be assigned to such short taxable year under normal tax
accounting rules.

                 (c)      Sellers shall cause no election to be made, no
accounting method to be adopted and no position to be taken by, or with respect
to, the Company in a return for any period prior to the Closing Date
("Pre-Closing Periods") that has not yet been filed and that it has the
responsibility to cause to be prepared, in an amended return or refund claim
for a Pre-Closing Period or in a tax proceeding that is inconsistent with any
election, accounting method or position previously made, elected or taken by,
or with respect to, the Company in a return that has already been filed, unless
Purchaser provides its written consent.

                 (d)      It is the intention of the parties that (i) Sellers
be economically responsible for all income taxes for all "Pre-Closing Periods"
(whether shown on the returns therefore or resulting from subsequent audit or
adjustment) by (A) such income taxes having been paid prior to closing, (B)
making an adjustment to the Purchase Price under Paragraph 3(c) hereof, or (C)
making a post-closing adjustment to the Purchase Price under Paragraph 16, if
there are income tax deficiencies for any prior period which Sellers have not
previously "paid" by actual pre-closing payment, accrual or Purchase Price
adjustment and (ii) Sellers receive the economic benefit of any refund of
income taxes which they have previous "paid" in the matter contemplated in (i)
(A)- (C) above, so long as such refund does not result from the carry-back of a
net operating loss, credit or other item from a post-closing period.
Accordingly, if the amount of the total tax shown on any Pre-Closing Period
return, as filed or upon audit, plus any deficiency of income tax for any
Pre-Closing Period resulting from audit or amended return from any such
Pre-Closing Period, exceeds the sum of the income taxes shown on the Closing
Financial Statement or the applicable Historical Financials, then Sellers shall
indemnify the Company and promptly pay to the Company or Purchaser, as directed
by the Company, an amount equal to such excess, and such amount shall be deemed
to be an adjustment to the Purchase Price under Paragraph 16.  On the other
hand, any income tax refund for any prior taxable period, whether arising by
audit, the filing of an amended or substituted return, the application of a net
operating loss or other carry-back (but excluding any net operating loss or
other carry-back from a post-closing period) or otherwise, shall belong to
Sellers and shall be promptly remitted to Sellers upon receipt by the Company
or Purchaser after Closing, if Sellers previously paid such amount, in the
manner contemplated in paragraph (i) above.

                 (e)      Following the Closing, the following procedures shall
be followed with respect to tax matters:

                          (i)     No amended or substituted return for the
Company for any Pre-Closing Period shall be filed after Closing without the
written consent of Sellers; provided, however, that in determining whether to
give such consent, Sellers shall not act unreasonably.





                                       29
<PAGE>   37

                          (ii)    After Closing, upon the receipt of any
notice, verbal or written, of audit, notice of audit findings ("30-day
letter"), statutory notice of deficiency ("90-day letter") or any other
document from a taxing authority relating to a potential income tax liability
or adjustment for any Pre-Closing Period, Purchaser will promptly notify
Sellers, in writing, of such notice.  Sellers shall be entitled at Sellers'
expense to control and conduct the audit of and settle any matter relating to
income tax liabilities, refunds or adjustments for any Pre-Closing Period;
provided, however, that any matter in connection with any return which could
affect income tax liabilities, refunds or adjustments for any period following
the Closing for the Company, shall not be changed or adjusted without
Purchaser's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                          (iii)   If in any dispute with a taxing authority
relating to the Company, the taxing authority is clearly willing to settle such
dispute and so indicates unequivocable in writing on a basis acceptable to
Sellers, but unacceptable to Purchaser, then Sellers may elect to pay Purchaser
the cost of such settlement, including taxes that are the responsibility of
Sellers hereunder based on such settlement and, thereafter, Sellers shall be
relieved of further cost of such proceedings, including any taxes, attorneys'
and accountants' fees or other costs proceeding with the dispute nor shall they
be entitled to any reduction in taxes resulting from Purchaser's pursuant to
such proposed settlement; provided, however, that if such resolution could have
the effect of increasing the tax liabilities of, or attributable to, the
Company in a Post-Closing Period and Sellers have not agreed to indemnify
Purchaser fully for such increase, Sellers shall afford Purchaser the
opportunity to control jointly the conduct and resolution of the portion of
such tax proceeding that could have the effect of increasing the tax
liabilities of, or attributable to, the Company in a Post-Closing Period.

                          (iv)    If it is necessary or appropriate, in the
reasonable judgement of Sellers, to protest or litigate any matter relating to
an income tax liability for any Pre-Closing Period, then Purchaser agrees to
execute and file on behalf of the Company such protests, petitions, complaints,
answers or other documents that may be, in the reasonable judgement of Sellers,
appropriate to such proceedings; provided, however, that any matter in
connection with any return that could affect the income tax liabilities,
refunds or adjustments for any period following the Closing for the Company,
shall not be changed or adjusted without Purchaser's consent, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld.  All costs of such proceedings, including taxes,
attorneys' and accountants' fees and other expenses, shall be paid by Sellers.

                          (v)     Before execution of any extension of the
statute of limitations for the Company for any Pre-Closing Period, Purchaser
shall obtain the consent of Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.


                 13.      COVENANTS OF PURCHASER

                 (a)      Purchaser's Employee Benefit Plans.  From and after
the Closing Date, all employees of the Company shall be eligible to participate
in the employee benefit plans offered by Purchaser to its employees.

                 (b)      Name Change.  Purchaser covenants with Sellers that
within three years of the Closing Date, Purchaser will file Amended Articles of
Incorporation with the Florida Secretary of State to change the name of the
Company in order to delete "H. C. Connell" from the Company's name and shall
not use "H. C. Connell" as a trade name thereafter.

                 (c)      Release from Guarantees.  Immediately following the
Closing, Purchaser shall use its best efforts to cause Sun Bank, N.A. to
release Sellers from any guarantees Sellers have given in connection with loans
or other indebtedness owed by the Company to Sun Bank, N.A.  In the event, and
to the extent, that Purchaser is unable to obtain the release of Sellers as
required by the preceding sentence, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold
Sellers harmless from any liability whatsoever related to such indebtedness.
                 (d)      Contractor's License.  From and after the Closing
Date, the Company shall not operate under the Certified Underground Utility and
Excavation Contractor's License issued to Henry C. Connell (License No.
CUCO33902).  Rather, Purchaser shall take whatever actions Purchaser determines
are necessary to have another properly licensed Certified Underground Utility
and Excavation Contractor's License for utilization by the Company.

                 14.      INDEMNIFICATION OF PURCHASER

                 Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 9 and 16 hereof,
Sellers hereby jointly and severally agree that each will indemnify, save
harmless and defend Purchaser and each of its shareholders, subsidiaries,
affiliates, officers and directors, and the Company, from and against any and
all losses, liabilities, fines, judgments, claims, damages, settlement
payments, actions or causes of action, Encumbrances, costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorney's fees) (individually a "Loss" and collectively
"Losses") incurred by any of them by reason of, or arising out of: (i) any
claims of any broker or finder engaged by Sellers or the Company; (ii) any
false or inaccurate representation or warranty by any Seller contained in this
Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) or in any certificate,
Schedule, Exhibit or list prepared for use and delivered to Purchaser pursuant
to this Agreement or any breach of any such representation or warranty; or
(iii) any breach by Sellers of any provision of this Agreement (or any other
agreements entered into pursuant hereto).

                 Sellers' herein indemnity shall be treated as an adjusted to
the Purchase Price and payable from the Escrow Fund to the extent that any such
funds are available in such Escrow Fund; provided, that the Escrow Fund is
insufficient or unavailable to satisfy Sellers' obligations to Purchaser
pursuant to this indemnity, Purchaser shall be entitled to enforce such
indemnity rights in an action at law and the establishment of the Escrow Fund
shall in no way limit, impair or preclude Purchaser's right to enforce Sellers'
obligations under this indemnity in any such action.

                 15.      INDEMNIFICATION OF SELLERS

                 Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 9 and 16 hereof,
Purchaser shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Sellers from and against
any and all losses, liabilities,





                                       31
<PAGE>   39

fines, judgments, claims, damages, settlement payments, actions or causes of
action, Encumbrances, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees)
incurred by any of them by reason of, or arising out of, (i) the breach of any
representation, warranty, agreement or covenant of Purchaser; or (ii) the
assertion against Sellers of any liability or obligation of the Company, other
than liabilities or obligations covered by Sellers' indemnification agreement
under Paragraph 14 above.

                 16.      RULES REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION

                 The rights and obligations of each party claiming a right to
indemnification hereunder ("Indemnitee") from the other party ("Indemnitor")
shall be governed by the following rules:

                 (a)      Within the applicable time period establish pursuant
to Paragraph 9 hereof, the Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice to the
Indemnitor of any state of facts which Indemnitee determines will give rise to
a claim by the Indemnitee against the Indemnitor based on the indemnity
agreements contained in Paragraphs 14 and 15 hereof, stating the nature and
basis of said claims and the amount thereof, to the extent known.  No failure
to give such notice shall affect the indemnification obligations of Indemnitor
hereunder except to the extent Indemnitor can demonstrate such failure
materially prejudiced such Indemnitor's ability to successfully defend the
matter giving rise to the indemnification claim.

                 (b)      All claims for adjustment of the purchase price under
this Paragraph 9 must be asserted within the applicable period of time set
forth in Paragraph 9 for the survival of such claim and shall be asserted and
resolved as follows:

                          (i)     In the event that any claim or demand
potentially constituting a Loss hereunder is asserted against or sought to be
collected from the Purchaser or the Company by a third party  ("Third Party
Claim"), Purchaser shall in writing promptly notify Sellers of such Third Party
Claim specifying the nature of such Third Party Claim and the amount or the
estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not
be conclusive of the final amount of such Third Party Claim) (the "Claim
Notice").  The Indemnitor shall have 30 days from the receipt of the Claim
Notice (the "Notice Period") to notify the Indemnitee (A) whether the
Indemnitor disputes any or all of the Third Party Claim that would result in an
adjustment to the Purchase Price and (B) whether the Indemnitor desires, at its
sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnitee against such Third Party Claim.
In the event that the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee within the Notice
Period that the Indemnitor desires to defend the Indemnitee against such Third
Party Claim and, except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnitor shall have the
absolute right to defend by appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be
promptly settled or prosecuted by the Indemnitor to a final conclusion.  If the
Indemnitee desires to participate in, but not control, such defense or
settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense.  If the Indemnitor has
not notified the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor disputes that all or part of
the Third Party Claim  would result in an adjustment to the Purchase Price,
then (a) if the Indemnitor elects not to defend the Indemnitee against such





                                       32
<PAGE>   40

Third Party Claim, the amount of such Third Party Claim, or, (b) if such Third
Party Claim is contested by either the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee, that
portion thereof as to which a court of competent jurisdiction has finally
determined, from which no appeal has been taken, that such defense is
unsuccessful, shall be a Loss hereunder and the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted accordingly; provided, however, that nothing hereunder shall be deemed
to impair or restrict any right or remedy available to the Indemnitee to claim
a Purchase Price adjustment with respect to such disputed Third Party Claim or
any portion thereof, including the right to assert the same as a Loss
hereunder.
                          (ii)    The Indemnitor shall make no settlement of
any Third Party Claims which the Indemnitor has undertaken to defend, without
the Indemnitee's consent unless the Indemnitor fully indemnifies the Indemnitee
for all Losses, there is no finding or admission of violation of law by, or
effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee and the
relief granted in connection therewith requires no action on the part of and
has no effect on the Indemnitee.  However, in the event the Indemnitor shall
not offer reasonable assurances as to its financial capacity to satisfy any
final judgment or settlement, the Indemnitee may assume the defense and dispose
of the claim, after 30 days prior written notice to the Indemnitor.

                          (iii)   Sellers shall not be responsible for Losses
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder until such Losses in the aggregate exceed
$20,000 (the "Basket Amount").  In the event that the aggregate of such Losses
exceeds the Basket Amount, Sellers shall indemnify Purchaser and all other
indemnified parties for all Losses in excess of the Basket Amount; provided,
however, that all Losses arising from breaches of Paragraphs 6(b), 6(f), 6(g),
6(m)(iv), 6(n)(iv), 6(r) and 6(y), matters covered by Paragraphs 12 and 14(i)
and claims for breaches of any agreement other than this agreement, may be
asserted without regard to the Basket Amount; and provided further that the
collect ability of accounts receivable governed by Paragraph 11(c) shall be
subject solely to the special amounts referred to in such paragraphs.

                          (iv)    Any indemnifiable loss hereunder shall be
reduced by the amounts actually recovered by the indemnified party from its
insurance carriers and any amounts recovered by such party subsequent to the
payment by the indemnifying party hereunder with respect to the same claim
shall be remitted to the indemnifying party; provided that such remittance
shall not exceed the amount of the indemnification payment made by such
indemnifying party.  Purchaser agrees to cause the Company after the Closing
Date to maintain insurance coverage substantially equivalent to the coverage
currently maintained by the Company to the extent that such policies provide
coverage for indemnifiable Losses, provided that such insurance coverage is
available at commercially acceptable rates and upon commercially acceptable
terms.

                          (v)     In the event the Indemnitee should have a
claim for a Loss requiring an adjustment of the Purchase Price hereunder that
does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be
collected from the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall promptly send a Claim
Notice with respect to such claim to the Indemnitor.  If the Indemnitor does
not notify the Indemnitee within the Notice Period that the Indemnitor disputes
such claim,





                                       33
<PAGE>   41
the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed a Loss hereunder
requiring adjustment of the Purchase Price hereunder.

                          (vi)    Nothing herein shall deemed to prevent the
Purchaser from making a claim for adjustment of the Purchase Price hereunder
for potential or contingent claims or demands provided the Claim Notice sets
forth on specific basis for such potential or contingent claim or demand to the
extent then feasible and the Purchaser has reasonable grounds to believe such a
claim or demand may be made.

                          (vii)   Except as otherwise provided herein, all
adjustments to the Purchase Price under Paragraph 14 shall be satisfied first
against the Escrow Amount (other than the portion held solely for the Purchase
Price Adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 3(c) in accordance
with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.  When such portion of the Escrow
Amount is reduced to zero, the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, next
claim against the amounts remaining unpaid under the Consulting Agreement and,
thereafter, the Sellers shall reimburse the Purchaser for any remaining
Purchase Price adjustment up to the full amount of the Purchase Price.
Provided, however, that the limitations in this Paragraph 16(b) (vii)  shall in
no way be construed to limit any remedy the Purchaser may have against the
Sellers or any other person for fraud, willful misconduct or any other
intentional misrepresentation.

                 17.      MISCELLANEOUS

                 (a)      Expenses, Etc.  All costs, fees or expenses
(including, without limitation, legal and accounting fees, any stock transfer
taxes and the cost of obtaining any consents or waivers required under
Paragraph 3(c) or 4(l) above) incurred by the Company or Sellers in connection
with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by
Sellers.  All sales, transfer or other taxes which may be payable by any party
in connection with this Agreement shall be borne by Sellers.  All costs, fees
or expenses (including, without limitation, legal and accounting fees) incurred
by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby shall not be borne by Sellers.

                 (b)      Termination.

                               (A)      This Agreement may be terminated at any
time prior to the Closing Date:

                          (i)     by mutual consent of all of the parties;

                          (ii)    by either Purchaser or the Sellers if there
has been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of the other party; or

                          (iii)   by either Purchaser or the Sellers if the

<PAGE>   42


                                  (B)      In the event of termination of this
Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph, this Agreement shall forthwith become
void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any party
except to the extent that such termination results from a material breach by
such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
set forth in this Agreement and except for Purchaser's confidentiality
obligations set forth in Paragraph 8.

                                  (C)      In the event that prior to closing
Purchaser has knowledge that any representation or warranty of the Sellers
contained in Paragraph 5 herein was materially incorrect when made or that
Sellers or the Company have materially violated any covenant contained in
Paragraph  8 hereof and Purchaser elects not to terminate this agreement
pursuant to Paragraph 17(b) and purchases the Stock at the Closing, Purchaser
shall by such action have conclusively waived any claim for a Purchase Price
adjustment under Paragraph 16 because of such incorrect representation or
warranty, breach of warranty or violation of covenant, but such waiver shall
only apply to the extent of Loss Purchaser should reasonably have foreseen
might flow from the knowledge Purchaser had prior to Closing.

                                  (D)      In the event that prior to Closing
Sellers have knowledge that any representation or warranty of Purchaser
contained in Paragraph 6 herein was materially incorrect when made or that
Purchaser has materially violated any covenant herein and the Sellers elect not
to terminate this agreement pursuant to paragraph 17(b) and sell the Stock at
the Closing, the Sellers shall by such action shall have conclusively waived a
claim for indemnification under Paragraph 14 because of such incorrect
representation of warranty, breach of warranty or violation of covenant, but
such waiver shall only apply to the extent of Loss Sellers should reasonably
have foreseen might flow from the knowledge Sellers had prior to Closing.

                 (c)      Access to Records.  Purchaser shall afford Sellers
and their agents, the opportunity, upon reasonable advance notice, to examine
and make copies of the books and records of the Company relating to all periods
through the Closing Date, in connection with tax and financial reporting
matters and other bona fide business purposes.

                 (d)      Parties in Interest; Assignment.  This Agreement
shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by Sellers
and their respective executors, successors and assigns, and Purchaser and its
successors and assigns.  No third party rights shall attach to any parties
other than the parties hereto.  This Agreement shall not be assignable without
the written consent of the other parties except that Purchaser may assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to any direct or indirect subsidiary, which
assignment shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations for indemnification
under Paragraph 16 hereof.

                 (e)      Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement,
including all Schedules, Exhibits and other writings referred to herein or
delivered in connection herewith contain the entire understanding of the
parties with respect to its subject matter.  This Agreement may be

any subsequent, same or different breach.

                 (k)      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in two or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same

                          Agreement"), which shares of capital stock will be
                          held in escrow by Richard C. Jans, P.A. pursuant to
                          an Escrow Agreement among Purchaser, the Sellers and

         3.      Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

                 (a)      Section 3(a) with respect to the Closing Net Book
Value is hereby amended as follows:

                 (i)      The definition of Closing Financial Statements is
                          hereby amended to mean audited financial statements
                          for the Company as of November 30, 1995, and the
                          definition of Closing Net Book Value is hereby

                          of November 30, 1995.

                 (b)      Section 3(c)(ii) with respect to Purchase Price
Adjustments is hereby amended to read as follows:

                 (ii)     Within five days after the determination of the
                          Purchase Price adjustments, if any, required by
                          Paragraph 3(c)(i), the Purchase Price shall be
                          adjusted as follows:

                                  (A)      If there is a Purchase Price
                                           Increase, the Term Note shall be
                                           increased in an amount equal to the
                                           Purchase Price Increase;

                                  (B)      If there is a Purchase Price
                                           Decrease, the Term Note shall be
                                           decreased in an amount equal to the
                                           Purchase Price Decrease.  If the
                                           Purchase Price Decrease exceeds the
                                           amount of the Term Note, then
                                           Sellers shall immediately pay to
                                           Purchaser the excess of the Purchase
                                           Price Decrease over the amount of
                                           the Term Note.

                 (c)      Section 3(c)(iii) with respect to Purchase Price
Adjustments is hereby renumbered as Section 3(c)(iv) and a new Section
3(c)(iii) is hereby created to read as follows:

                 (iii)    In the event that, prior to the Closing Financial
                          Statements and the Closing Net Book Value becoming
                          final, binding and conclusive as set forth above,
                          Sellers are able to arrange a release (the "Release")
                          of the Company from any and all liabilities to the
                          Employer's Self Insurers Fund ("Fund"), the Purchase
                          Price shall be adjusted increasing the Purchase Price
                          in the amount of $235,000.  To reflect that increase,
                          the Indemnity Note will also be increased by
                          $235,000.

                 (iv)     In the event that the Sellers are unable to arrange a
                          Release, on November 30, 1998, the Purchase Price
                          shall be adjusted by the difference between $235,000
                          and the total amount of worker's compensation claims,
                          with an occurrence date prior to December 1, 1995,
                          actually paid by the Company during the period from
                          November 30, 1995 through November 30, 1998

         as shown on the reports prepared by the worker's compensation
         administrator of the Employer's Self Insurers Fund (the "Final Claims
         Liability").  If the Final Claims Liability is greater than $235,000,
         within five days after the determination of the Final Claims Liability
         the Sellers' shall pay to Purchaser, in cash, the amount of that
         difference.  If the Final Claims Liability is less than $235,000,
         within five days after the determination of the Final Claims Liability
         the Purchaser shall pay to Sellers', in cash, the amount of the
         difference.

                          Closing Documents shall, constitute legal, valid and
                          binding obligations of the Sellers and the Company
                          and such other respective parties, enforceable in

                 to be deposited into escrow with the Escrow Agent all shares
                 of capital stock of the Company held by Purchaser.  The Escrow
                 Agent shall serve as trustee over such shares in accordance
                 with the Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement").  The

<PAGE>   6

         balance sheet contained in the Financial Statements (before any
         reserves therefor reflected on such balance sheet and without giving
         effect to any write-off of such receivables after August 31, 1995) and
         the gross amount (before any reserves therefor and write-offs) of all
         accounts, notes and other receivables of the Company acquired or

                          accounts and amounts involved.  At Purchaser's option
                          in lieu of cash payment by Sellers as provided for in
                          the preceding sentence, Purchaser may offset the

                 (a)      Section 12(e)(iii) with respect to tax matters is
hereby amended as follows:

                  (iii)   If in any dispute with a taxing authority relating to
                          the Company, the taxing authority is clearly willing
                          to settle such dispute and so indicates unequivocally
                          in writing on a basis acceptable to Sellers, but
                          unacceptable to Purchaser, then Sellers may elect to
                          pay Purchaser the cost of such settlement, including
                          taxes that are the responsibility of Sellers
                          hereunder based on such settlement and, thereafter,
                          Sellers shall be relieved of further cost of such
                          proceedings, including any taxes, attorneys' and
                          accountants' fees or other costs of proceeding with
                          the dispute nor shall they be entitled to any
                          reduction in taxes resulting from Purchaser's
                          pursuance of such proposed settlement; provided,
                          however, that if such resolution could have the
                          effect of increasing the tax liabilities of, or
                          attributable to, the Company in a Post-Closing Period
                          and Sellers have not agreed to indemnify Purchaser
                          fully for such increase, Sellers shall afford
                          Purchaser the opportunity to control jointly the
                          conduct and resolution of





                                       44
<PAGE>   7

         the portion of such tax proceeding that could have the effect of
         increasing the tax liabilities of, or attributable to, the Company in
         a Post-Closing Period.

         9.      Indemnification of Purchaser.

                 (a)      The second paragraph of Section 14 with respect to
the Sellers' indemnification of Purchaser is hereby amended as follows:

                          Sellers' indemnity of Purchaser hereunder shall be
                 treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price and payable
                 first by a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Note,
                 to the extent that the balance of the Term Note exceeds any
                 such adjustment amounts, and then by a reduction from the
                 Indemnity Note, to the extent that the balance of the
                 Indemnity Note exceeds any such adjustment amounts; provided,
                 that if both the Term Note and the Indemnity Note are
                 insufficient or unavailable to satisfy Sellers' obligations to
                 Purchaser pursuant to this indemnity, Purchaser shall be
                 entitled to enforce such indemnity rights in an action at law
                 and the existence of the Term Note and the Indemnity Note
                 shall in no way limit, impair or preclude Purchaser's right to
                 enforce Sellers' obligations under this indemnity in any such
                 action.

         10.     Rules Regarding Indemnification.

                 (a)      Section 16(b)(vii) with respect to the rules
regarding indemnification is hereby amended as follows:

                 (vii)    Except as otherwise provided herein, all adjustments
                          to the Purchase Price under Paragraph 14 shall be
                          satisfied first by reducing the balance of the Term
                          Note and then by reducing the balance of the
                          Indemnity Note.  If and when the Term Note and the
                          Indemnity Note shall have been reduced to zero, the
                          Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, next claim
                          against the amounts remaining unpaid under the
                          Consulting Agreement and, thereafter, the Sellers
                          shall reimburse the Purchaser for any remaining
                          Purchase Price adjustment up to the full amount of
                          the Purchase Price;  provided, however, that the
                          limitations in this Paragraph 16(b)(vii) shall in no
                          way be construed to limit any remedy the Purchaser
                          may have against the Sellers or any other person for
                          fraud, willful misconduct or any other intentional
                          misrepresentation.

                 THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of the 1st
day of December, 1995, by and between H. C. Connell, Inc. ("Corporation"), a
Florida corporation, and H. C. Connell, an individual residing at 6780 C.R.
466A, Wildwood, Florida ("Consultant").

                 WHEREAS Consultant has considerable knowledge and experience
relating to the business of the Corporation as a result of his prior
affiliation with the Corporation as a director, officer, stockholder and
employee; and

                 WHEREAS Consultant desires to aid and assist the Corporation
as a consultant by providing certain advisory services to the Corporation; and

                 WHEREAS the Corporation desires to engage Consultant as a
consultant to render certain advisory services to the Corporation; and

                 WHEREAS the Corporation and Consultant desire to set forth
herein their understandings and agreements:

                 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the
mutual promises herein set forth, and of other good and valuable consideration
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

11.      Engagement of Consultant

         a.      The Corporation does hereby appoint and engage Consultant as
                 its consultant and advisor with respect to the matters
                 specified in Section 2 hereof for the compensation hereinafter
                 set forth.

         b.      Consultant hereby accepts his appointment and engagement by
                 the Corporation as a consultant and advisor to the Corporation
                 with respect to the matters specified in Section 2 hereof for
                 the compensation hereinafter set forth.

12.      Activities of Consultant.  During the term of this Agreement specified
         in Section 4 hereof ("Term"), Consultant shall undertake for and on
         behalf of, and to the extent specifically requested in writing by, the
         Board of Directors or the President of the Corporation, or by William
         J. Mercurio, to make himself available to advise the Corporation and
         its officers and directors at all reasonable times, by telephone, by

         and with respect to past matters or transactions of the Corporation.
         In addition, the Consultant shall make himself available, upon
         reasonable advance notice, to participate in the Corporation's
         negotiation of new, and

         Consultant be required to engage in the foregoing activities for more
         than one hundred (100) days in any single contract year during the
         Term unless Consultant, in his sole discretion, deems that more hours
         are necessary to carry out his duties hereunder.

13.      Compensation of Consultant.  The Corporation hereby covenants and
         agrees to pay Consultant the sum of One Hundred Fifteen Thousand
         Dollars ($115,000) per year, payable in equal monthly installments.

                 reimburse Consultant for all travel, entertainment, telephone,
                 and other expenses paid or incurred by Consultant in
                 connection with the performance of his activities,
                 responsibilities, and services under this Agreement, upon
                 presentation of expense statements, vouchers, or other
                 evidence of expense in conformity with the Corporation's
                 requirements with respect to the manner of reporting of such
                 expenses and the prior approval of all travel and
                 entertainment expenditures.

         b.      The Corporation shall provide Consultant with a private office
                 at the Corporation's offices at 400 McCormack St., Leesburg,
                 Florida and with reasonable secretarial and other support
                 services that may be needed from time to time.

16.      Representations and Warranties of the Corporation

         The Corporation represents and warrants to Consultant as follows:

                 jurisdiction of incorporation.

         b.      The Corporation has full power and legal right and authority
                 to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement, the officers
                 executing this Agreement on behalf of the Corporation have
                 full power and authority to do so and this Agreement is
                 binding upon and enforceable against the Corporation in
                 accordance with its terms.

         c.      There is (i) no suit, action, proceeding or claim, (ii) no
                 investigation or inquiry by any administrative or governmental
                 body, and (iii) no legal, administrative agency or arbitration
                 proceeding pending or, to the best of the Corporation's
                 knowledge, threatened against the Corporation or to which the
                 Corporation is or might become a party, which questions or
                 challenges the validity of this





                                       49
<PAGE>   4

                 Agreement, or any action taken pursuant to this Agreement by
                 the Corporation, and to the best knowledge of the Corporation
                 there is no basis or ground for any suit, action, claim,
                 investigation, inquiry or proceeding.

17.      Covenants of the Corporation

         a.      The Corporation shall promptly forward to Consultant any mail,
                 telephone messages, telegrams, notices, or other papers or
                 documents of a personal nature that are delivered to, or
                 received by, the Corporation.

         b.      The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless Consultant
                 fully, completely, and absolutely against and in respect of
                 (i) any and all losses and damages resulting from any
                 misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant, or

                 Agreement, and (ii) any and all actions, suits, proceedings,

                 attorneys' fees, incident to the foregoing.

18.      Independent contractor.  Consultant shall at all times be an
         independent contractor, rather than a coventurer, agent, employee, or
         representative of the Corporation.  The Corporation hereby
         acknowledges that Consultant may engage directly or indirectly in
         other businesses and ventures, not otherwise proscribed by the

         and Consultant, and shall not be required to perform any services

         preempt Consultant's availability during the Term

19.      Binding effect; assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and
         shall inure to the benefit of, Consultant and the Corporation and
         their respective heirs, executors or administrators, personal and
         legal representatives, estate, legatees, and successors.  The
         obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned by the
         Corporation or Consultant without the prior written consent of the
         other party hereto, except that this Agreement may be assigned by the
         Corporation to any entity controlled by, or under common control with,
         the Corporation.

20.      Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder or in
         connection herewith shall be deemed to have been duly given if they
         are in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered or
         certified mail, return receipt requested and first-class postage
         prepaid.  They shall be addressed:

                 Sections 1 and 2 hereof, and no representations, promises,
                 understandings, or agreements, oral or otherwise, not herein
                 contained shall be of any force or effect; provided, however,
                 that the validity or enforceability of the Noncompetition
                 Agreement or the Stock Purchase Agreement among Able Telcom
                 Holding Corporation (the ultimate parent of the Corporation),
                 Consultant and Lois A.  Connell shall not be affected in any
                 way.

         b.      No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
                 shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the party
                 against whom it is sought to be enforced.  No waiver at any
                 time of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a
                 waiver of any other provision of this Agreement at that time

         d.      To the extent possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
                 be interpreted in a manner as to be valid, legal and
                 enforceable.  Any term or provision of this Agreement which is
                 invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
                 jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such
                 provision which is invalid or unenforceable within rendering
                 invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and conditions
                 hereof.

thereof by Obligors and each other Person (other than the Bank) executing any

<PAGE>   14

to the Borrower under the Line of Credit principal amounts for working capital
to be used in the operation of the Borrower's or a Subsidiary's business.  The
Line of Credit Note shall evidence the outstanding principal balance of the
Line of Credit, as it may change from time to time.  Advances under the Line of
Credit shall be subject to the following terms:

                 (a)      The Borrower shall not request and the Bank will not
be required to make or consider requests for Advances of the Line of Credit
after February 28, 1997 provided that the Bank may in its discretion extend
such date in writing and further provided that the repayment obligations of the
Borrower for Advances of the Line of Credit made by the Bank after such date
(as it may be extended) shall be binding on the Borrower and any Guarantor or
other persons liable for any Indebtedness to the same extent as obligations
with respect to Advances made prior to such date.

                 (b)      Should there occur any overdraft of any deposit
account maintained by the Borrower with the Bank, the Bank may, at its option,
disburse funds (whether or not in excess of the Maximum Line of Credit Amount)
to eliminate such overdraft and such disbursement shall be deemed an Advance of
Line of Credit proceeds hereunder entitled to all of the benefits of the Loan
Documents.  Nothing herein shall be deemed an authorization of or consent to
the creation of an overdraft in any account or create any obligations on the
part of the Bank to fund such overdraft;

                 (c)      The outstanding balance of the Line of Credit may
increase and decrease from time to time, and Advances thereunder may be repaid
and re-borrowed, but the total of Advances outstanding at any one time under
the Line of Credit shall never exceed the Maximum Line of Credit Amount unless
Bank, in its sole discretion, agrees to allow the outstanding Advances to
exceed the Maximum Line of Credit Amount.  The Borrower shall immediately pay
to the Bank any amount by which the Line of Credit





                                      -12-
<PAGE>   18

exceeds the Maximum Line of Credit Amount.  The Bank may, in its discretion,
make, or permit to remain outstanding, Advances to the Borrower in excess of
the Maximum Line of Credit Amount and all such amounts shall be part of the
Line of Credit and Indebtedness, shall bear interest as provided in the Line of
Credit Note, shall be payable on demand and shall be entitled to all rights and
security provided for herein and in all other Loan Documents.

                 (d)      Advances under the Line of Credit may not be
requested more often than once a week.

                 3.2      Equipment Facility.  The Bank may lend to the
Borrower under the Equipment Facility principal amounts for the purchase of New
Equipment by Borrower or its wholly owned Subsidiaries.  Advances of Equipment
Loans shall be subject to the following terms:

                 (a)      The aggregate principal amount of the Equipment Loans
advanced over the term of the Equipment Facility shall not exceed the Maximum
Equipment Loans Amount.  Amounts borrowed and repaid may not be reborrowed as
the Equipment Loans are not made pursuant to a revolving credit facility.

                 (b)      The Borrower shall not request and the Bank will not
be required to make or consider requests for Advances of the Equipment Facility
after February 28, 1997 provided that the Bank may in its discretion extend
such date in writing and further provided that the repayment obligations of the
Borrower for Advances of the Equipment Loans made by the Bank after such date
(as it may be extended) shall be binding on the Borrower and any Guarantor or
other persons liable for any Indebtedness to the same extent as obligations
with respect to Advances made prior to such date.

                 (c)      Principal and interest under each Equipment Loan
shall be payable pursuant to a separate amortization schedule consistent with
the Bank's then current policy for loans secured by equipment of the type of
the New Equipment purchased with such Equipment Loan as evidenced by a separate
Equipment Note to be executed at the time of each Advance under the Equipment
Facility.

                 (d)      Equipment Loans may not be requested more often than
once a month.

                 3.3      Term Loans.  On the date of this Agreement, Bank has
fully funded the Term A Loan and the Term B Loan to Borrower as evidenced by
the Term A Note and the Term B Note.

                 3.4      Notice and Manner of Borrowing.  Unless another
satisfactory procedure for disbursements is agreed upon in writing by the
parties, the following procedure will be used for disbursement of proceeds of
the Line of Credit and the Equipment Loans. The Borrower shall deliver a
written and signed Advance Request to the Bank not later than 12:00 noon,
prevailing Eastern time, on the Business Day prior to the proposed Advance
Date, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3.4(a) for Advances under the Line
of Credit and Exhibit 3.4(b) for Advances under the Equipment Loans, and a
reconciliation from the previous Advance Request (or monthly report),
specifying the proposed Advance Date (which shall be a Business Day), the
interest rate elected for such Advance (if applicable) and the amount of the
proposed Advance, and providing such other information as the Bank may
reasonably require.

                 3.5      Interest Rate.  The outstanding principal balance of
each of the Loans outstanding from time to time shall accrue interest at the
Prime Rate unless Borrower has elected to have a Loan or portion of a Loan be
treated as a LIBOR Loan in which event such LIBOR Loan shall accrue interest at
the LIBOR Rate.  Borrower's designation of each LIBOR Loan shall be subject to
the following conditions:

                 (a)      Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date
on which Borrower proposes to have a portion of the Loans converted to a LIBOR
Loan, Borrower must provide Bank written notice specifying the amount of the
LIBOR Loan which shall be in a principal amount equal to $100,000 or multiples
of $100,000 and the date on which the new portion of the Loans is to be
converted to a LIBOR Loan.

                 (b)      From and after the date designated for such LIBOR
Loan the principal amount thereof shall bear interest at the LIBOR Rate until
Borrower gives Bank at least two Business Days prior written notice of its
election to have the principal amount of such LIBOR Loan bear interest at the
Prime Rate.  In no event shall the interest rate on any LIBOR Loan be changed
to the Prime Rate except on the first day of an Interest Period.

                 (c)      Borrower shall have no right to designate a LIBOR
Loan if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

                 (d)      Any notice delivered by the Borrower to the Bank as
provided in this Section 3.5 shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower
upon receipt by the Bank.

                 (e)      If at any time the Bank shall determine that the
making or continuation of the LIBOR Rate has become unlawful or impracticable
as a result of its good-faith compliance with any law, rule, regulation,
guideline, policy, order, judgment or decree, whether or not having the force
of law, issued after or as of the date hereof by





                                      -14-
<PAGE>   20

any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Bank (which
determination by the Bank, absent manifest error, shall be final and
conclusive), the Bank shall transmit notice to the Borrower and (i) the Bank's
obligations to continue the LIBOR Rate hereunder shall promptly terminate and
(ii) any Loans then accruing interest at the LIBOR Rate shall immediately
accrue interest at the Prime Rate.

                 3.6      Net Payments.  All payments by the Borrower under
this Agreement and the Notes shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and
in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all payments, after deduction
or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, duties or other charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any government
or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (collectively the
"Taxes"), shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid
under this Agreement and the Notes.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 3.6, the Borrower shall not be liable for the payment
of any tax on or measured by net income or portion thereof of the Bank pursuant
to the income tax laws of the United States, the State of Florida or the
jurisdiction where the office making or carrying the Loans is located.  The
Borrower shall pay all Taxes when due (and indemnify the Bank against any
liability therefor) and shall promptly (and in any event not later than 30 days
thereafter) furnish to the Bank any certificates, receipts and other documents
which may be required (in the judgment of the Bank) to establish any tax credit
to which that Bank may be entitled.  The obligations of the Borrower under this
Section 3.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment
of the Loans, but such obligations shall terminate as to any claim or liability
for which the Borrower is responsible pursuant to this Section 3.6 on the same
date that any such claim or liability is barred by any applicable statute of
limitations.

                 3.7      Calculation of Interest.  All interest under the
Notes or hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual number of days elapsed in an interest period (actual/360 method), unless
the Bank shall otherwise elect.

                 3.8      Special Loan Account.  Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default and demand by Bank, the Borrower shall establish and maintain
with the Bank, during the term of the Loans, a demand deposit account (the
"Special Loan Account").  From and after occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Borrower shall deposit in the Special Loan Account, as received, all proceeds
from the sale of Inventory and collection of Accounts and other Collateral in
the form of checks, drafts, cash or the like, and all such proceeds shall
constitute Collateral.  Upon receipt of written instructions from the Bank
after an Event of Default, the Borrower shall direct (by instruction on
invoices and otherwise) all Account Debtors to make payments to a designated
post office box under the control of the Bank, which payments shall be
deposited directly into the Special Loan Account. The





                                      -15-
<PAGE>   21

Borrower shall pay the Bank's reasonable fees and charges in connection with
such lock-box arrangement.

                 3.9      Prepayment.  Borrower shall have the right to prepay 
any Loan, in whole or in part; provided that no such prepayment shall be made 
with respect to any portion of the Loan then bearing interest at a LIBOR Rate 
unless the Borrower also complies with the provisions of this Section. Each 
notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal
amount to be prepaid.  All prepayments of a Loan shall include accrued interest
upon the principal amount being prepaid to the date of the payment.  The
Borrower shall indemnify the Bank for all losses and any direct or indirect
costs, including the costs of re-employment of funds at rates lower than the
costs to the Bank of such funds and the costs paid by the Bank to acquire funds
to carry a LIBOR Loan, which the Bank may sustain, as a consequence of:

                 (a)      the occurrence of any Event of Default under this
Agreement which results in the acceleration of any portion of the Loan bearing
interest at the LIBOR Rate; or

                 (b)      the prepayment by the Borrower of any principal
amount of the Loan bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate prior to the expiration
of the applicable Interest Period.

                 The Bank shall submit a request for indemnification in writing
to the Borrower promptly following the occurrence of the event which formed the
basis for the request for indemnification, which request shall reasonably
detail the basis for such request.  Such notice as to any additional amount or
amounts required to be paid to the Bank shall be calculated by the Bank in good
faith and, in the absence of manifest error, shall be final and conclusive.
The Borrower shall pay upon demand the additional amount or amounts requested
by the Bank pursuant to this Section.

                 3.10     Overdue Amounts.  Any payments not made as and when
due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the Default Rate.

                 3.11     Sales Tax.  The Borrower shall notify the Bank if any
Account includes any sales or other similar tax and the Bank may at Bank's
option either disburse amounts to Borrower from the Special Loan Accounts for
payment to the taxing authority if the Special Loan Account contains sufficient
amounts to pay or remit any such taxes directly to the taxing authority and
make Advances or charge the Special Loan Account therefor. In no event shall
the Bank be liable for any such taxes.





                                      -16-
<PAGE>   22


                 3.12     Cross Collateralization.  Borrower agrees that,
notwithstanding the provisions of any of the Loan Documents and further
notwithstanding the existence of the separate Notes or any other separate
expression of or security for the Indebtedness, all of the Collateral, is
encumbered as security for all of the Indebtedness by this Agreement or by
other Loan Documents.  It is the intention of Borrower and Bank that the liens
and security interests created by the Loan Documents encumber all of the
Collateral to secure all of the Indebtedness.  Bank shall have the right to
proceed against any of the Collateral to collect any or all of the Indebtedness
in such order as Bank shall deem proper.  Bank shall not be obligated to
proceed against or to release any particular portion of the Collateral because
the Collateral is described in one of the Loan Documents creating a lien or
security interest but not in others.


                 3.13     Yield Protection.  In the event that after the date
hereof any change occurs in an applicable law, regulation, treaty or directive
or interpretation thereof by any authority charged with the administration or
interpretation thereof, or any condition is imposed by any authority or any
change occurs in any condition imposed by any authority on or prior to the date
hereof, which:

                 (a)      subjects the Bank to any tax, duties or other
charges, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank on account of
principal of or interest on the principal of the Loan by virtue of the LIBOR
Rate or Prime Rate or imposes any fees in respect of other amounts payable to
the Bank hereunder, bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate or Prime Rate (other
than any change in the rate of tax based solely on the overall net income of
the Bank imposed by either (i) the United States; or (ii) the State of Florida;
or (iii) the jurisdiction where the office making the Loan or holding the Notes
is located); or

                 (b)      imposes, modifies or determines to be applicable any
reserve, deposit or similar requirements against any assets held by, deposits
with or for the account of, or loans or commitments by, any office of the Bank
in connection with a Loan bearing interest at a LIBOR Rate or Prime Rate to the
extent the amount of which exceeds, or was not applicable at the time of the
execution of this Agreement; or

                 (c)      imposes upon the Bank any other condition with
respect to the LIBOR Rate or the Prime Rate or the Bank's obligation to allow a
LIBOR Rate or Prime Rate hereunder; which, as a result thereof, (i) increases
the cost to the Bank of permitting or maintaining the LIBOR Rate or Prime Rate,
or (ii) reduces the net amount of any payment received by the Bank in respect
of the LIBOR Rate or Prime Rate (whether of principal, interest, commitment
fees or otherwise); or (iii) requires the Bank to make any payment on or
calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum received by it in





                                      -17-
<PAGE>   23

respect of the LIBOR Rate or Prime Rate, in each case by an amount which the
Bank in its sole judgment deems material.

                 Then and in any such case the Borrower shall pay to the Bank 
on demand such amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for any increased 
cost, deduction or payment actually incurred or made by the Bank. Bank shall 
notify Borrower of the imposition of such tax, duty, charge, reserve, 
requirement or condition within ninety (90) days after the same is imposed and 
becomes applicable to the Loans or any Indebtedness pursuant to this Agreement.
The demand for payment made by the Bank shall state the subjection or change 
which has occurred or the reserve or deposit requirements or other conditions 
which have been imposed on the Bank or the request, direction, or requirement 
with which it has complied, together with the date thereof, the amount of 
such cost, reduction or payment and the way in which such amount has been 
calculated in reasonable detail.  The amounts payable pursuant to this Section 
shall be calculated by the Bank in good faith, and, in the absence of manifest 
error, be conclusive evidence of the amount thereof.

                 The protection of this Section shall be available to the Bank 
regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability of the 
relevant law, regulation, treaty, directive, condition or interpretation
thereof.  In the event the Borrower pays to the Bank the amount necessary to
compensate the Bank for any charge, deduction or payment incurred or made by
the Bank as provided in this Section and such charge, deduction or payment or
any part thereof is subsequently returned to the Bank as a result of the final
determination of the invalidity or inapplicability of the relevant law,
regulation, treaty, directive or condition, then the Bank shall remit to the
Borrower the amount paid by the Borrower which has actually be returned to the
Bank, less any costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with such
governmental regulation or any challenge made by the Bank with respect to its
validity or applicability.

         4.      Commitment Fees.  Borrower shall pay Bank a commitment fee of
three eighths of one percent (3/8%) of the principal amounts of each Advance
under the Equipment Facility payable on the date of such Advance.

         5.      Conditions Precedent to Borrowing.  Prior to any disbursement
of the proceeds of any Loan, the following conditions shall have been
satisfied, in the sole opinion of the Bank and its counsel:

                 5.1      Conditions Precedent to Initial Advance.  In addition
to any other requirement set forth in this Agreement, the Bank will not make a
disbursement of any portion of any Loan unless and until the following
conditions shall have been satisfied:





                                      -18-

continuing, the Bank may demand, collect and sue for all amounts owed pursuant
to Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or for proceeds of any
Collateral (either in an Obligors' name or the Bank's name at the latter's
option), with the right to enforce, compromise, settle or discharge any such
amounts.  The Obligors appoint the Bank as the Obligors' attorney-in-fact to
endorse any Obligors' name on all checks, commercial paper and other
instruments pertaining to Collateral or proceeds after an Event of Default.

                 8.3      Entry.  Obligors hereby irrevocably consent to any
act by the Bank or its agents in entering upon any premises for the purposes of
either (i) inspecting the Collateral or (ii) taking possession of the
Collateral after an Event of Default and each Obligor hereby waives its right

similar cause of action for entering upon any premises where the Collateral may
be located.

                 8.4      Deposits; Insurance.  Upon the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default, Obligors authorize the Bank to collect and
apply against the Indebtedness when due any cash or deposit accounts in its
possession, and any refund of insurance premiums or any insurance proceeds
payable on account of the loss or damage to any of the Collateral and
irrevocably appoints the Bank as its attorney-in-fact to endorse any check or
draft or take other action necessary to obtain such funds after an Event of
Default.

                 8.5      Other Rights.  Obligors authorize the Bank without
affecting the Obligors' obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document
from time to time (i) to take from any party and hold additional Collateral or
guaranties for the payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, and to
exchange, enforce or release such collateral or guaranty of payment of the
Indebtedness or any part thereof and to release or substitute any endorser or
guarantor or any party who has given any security interest in any collateral as
security for the payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof or any party
in any way obligated to pay the Indebtedness or any part thereof; and (ii) upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default to direct the manner of the disposition
of the Collateral and the enforcement of any endorsements, guaranties, letters
of credit or other security relating to the Indebtedness or any part thereof as
the Bank in its sole discretion may determine.

                 8.6      Accounts.  After an Event of Default, the Bank may
notify any Account Debtor of the Bank's security interest and may direct such
Account Debtor to make payment directly to the Bank for application against the
Indebtedness. Any such payments received by or on behalf of an Obligor at any
time, after an Event of Default, shall be the property of the Bank, shall be
held in trust for the Bank and not commingled





                                      -30-
<PAGE>   36

with any other assets of any Person (except to the extent they may be
commingled with other assets of an Obligor in an account with the Bank) and
shall be immediately delivered to the Bank in the form received. The Bank shall
have the right to apply any proceeds of Collateral to such of the Indebtedness
as it may determine.

                 8.7      Tangible Collateral.  Except as otherwise provided
herein or agreed to in writing by the Bank, no Inventory or other tangible
collateral shall be commingled with, or become an accession to or part of, any
property of any other Person so long as such property is Collateral. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, the Borrower shall, upon the request of the
Bank, promptly assemble all tangible Collateral for delivery to the Bank or its
agents.  No tangible Collateral shall be allowed to become a fixture unless the
Bank shall have given its prior written authorization.

                 8.8      Waiver of Marshalling.  Each Obligor hereby waives
any right it may have to require marshalling of its assets.

         9.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                 9.1      No Waiver, Remedies Cumulative.  No failure on the
part of the Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder
or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies
herein provided are cumulative and are in addition to any other remedies
provided by law, any Loan Document or otherwise.

                 9.2      Survival of Representations.  All representations and
warranties made herein shall survive the making of the Loans hereunder and the
delivery of the Notes, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as
any Indebtedness is outstanding, there exists any commitment by the Bank to an
Obligor, and until this Agreement is formally terminated in writing.

                 9.3      Expenses.  Whether or not the Loans herein provided
for shall be made, the Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses in

disbursements of counsel for the Bank in connection therewith, whether suit be
brought or not and whether incurred at trial or on appeal, and all costs of
repossession, storage, disposition, protection and collection of Collateral.
If the Borrower should fail to pay any tax or other amount required by this
Agreement to be paid or which may be reasonably necessary to protect or
preserve any Collateral or an Obligors' or Bank's interests therein, the Bank
may make such payment and the amount thereof shall be payable on demand, shall
bear interest at the Default Rate





                                      -31-

(including interest or penalties, if any) which may now or hereafter be
determined to be payable in respect to the execution, delivery or recording of
any Loan Document or the making of any Advance, whether originally thought to
be due or not, and regardless of any mistake of fact or law on the part of the
Bank or the Borrower with respect to the applicability of such tax. The
provisions of this section shall survive payment in full of the Loans and
termination of this Agreement.

This note is     [ ] SECURED      [ ] UNSECURED   (Notwithstanding the fact that this note is marked 'unsecured', Maker

interest in the following property:_________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (including
all cash, stock and other dividends and all rights to subscribe for securities incident to, declared, or granted in connection with
such property and including any returned or unearned premiums from any insurance financed hereunder), which property, together with
all additions and substitutions hereafter pledged or deposited with Bank is called the Collateral.  The Collateral is also pledged
as security for all other liabilities (primary, secondary, direct, contingent, sole, joint, or several), due or to become due or
which may be hereafter contracted or acquired, of each Maker (including each Maker and any other person) to Bank and for all
renewals, extensions or modifications of this note.  The surrender of this note, upon payment or otherwise, shall not affect the
right of Bank to retain the Collateral for such other liabilities. 
        Lender may request periodically as it deems necessary, complete and current financial statements, balance sheets, profit and
loss statements, and cash flow information for Maker and Cosigner. 
        Maker understands and agrees that the jury waiver, the additional agreements and provisions on the reverse side hereof,
hereby incorporated by reference, constitute agreements of the Maker and a part of this note.  Maker acknowledges receipt of a
completed copy of this note.

        Notice to Cosigner: You are being asked to guarantee this debt. Think carefully before you do.  If the borrower doesn't pay
the debt, you will have to.  Be sure you can afford to pay if you have to, and that you want to accept this responsibility.
        You may have to pay up to the full amount of the debt if the borrower does not pay.  You may also have to pay late fees or
collection costs, which increase this amount.  The Bank can collect this debt from you without first trying to collect from the
borrower.  The Bank can use the same collection methods against you that can be used against the borrower, such as suing you,
garnishing your wages, etc.  If this debt is ever in default, that fact may become a part of your credit record.
        This notice is not the contract that makes you liable for the debt.

        If the variable interest rate is not applicable and if this note is payable on demand, Bank reserves, and is hereby granted
the right, to adjust the interest rate from time to time by furnishing Maker with written notice of such adjusted rate, provided,
however, that no such adjusted rate shall exceed the maximum rate allowed, from time to time, by law.
        Additions to reductions or exchanges of or substitutions for the Collateral, payments on account of this note or increases
of the same, or other loans made partially or wholly upon the Collateral, may from time to time, be made without affecting the
provisions of this note.
        If Bank deems itself insecure, or upon the happening of any of the following events, each of which shall constitute a
default hereunder, all liabilities of each Maker to Bank shall thereupon or thereafter, at the option of the Bank, without notice or
demand, become due and payable: (a) failure of any Obligor (which term shall mean and include each Maker, endorser, surety and
guarantor of this note) to perform any agreement hereunder to pay interest hereon when due or requested or demanded or to pay other
liability whatsoever to Bank when due: (b) the death of any Obligor; (c) the filing of any petition under the Bankruptcy Code, or
any similar federal or state statute, by or against any Obligor; (d) an application for the appointment of a receiver of the making
of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) the entry of a judgment against any
Obligor; (f) the issuing of any writ of attachment or writ of garnishment, or the filing of any lien, against the property of any
Obligor; (g) the taking of possession of any substantial part of the property of any Obligor at the instance of any governmental
authority; (h) the dissolution, merger, consolidation, or reorganization of any Obligor; (i) the assignment by any Maker of any
equity in any of the Collateral without the written consent of Bank.
        Bank is hereby given a lien upon and a security interest in all property of each Maker now or at any time hereafter in the
possession of Bank in any capacity whatsoever, including but not limited to any balance of share of any deposit, trust, or agent
account as security for the payment of this note and a similar lien upon and security interest in all such property of each Maker as
security for the payment of all other liabilities of each Maker to Bank (including liabilities of each Maker and any other person);
and Bank shall have the same rights as to such property as it has with respect to the Collateral.
        If Bank deems itself insecure or upon the occurrence of any default hereunder Bank shall have the remedies of a secured
party, under the Uniform Commercial Code and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bank shall have the right,
immediately and without further action by it, to set off against this note all money owed by Bank in any capacity to each or any
Obligor, whether or not due, and also to set off against all other liabilities of each Maker to Bank all money owed by Bank in any
capacity to each or any Maker; and Bank shall be deemed to have exercised such right of set-off and to have made a charge against
any such money immediately upon the occurrence of such default even though such a charge is made or entered on the books of Bank
subsequent thereto.  Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold
on a recognized market, the Bank will give Maker reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time
after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made.  The requirements of reasonable notice shall
be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to any Maker at the address given below or at any other address shown on the
records of the Bank, at least five days before the time of the sale or disposition.  Sale at a wholesale dealers' auction is a
commercially reasonable disposition.  Upon disposition of any Collateral after the occurrence of any default hereunder, Maker shall
be and remain liable for any deficiency; and Bank shall account to Maker for any surplus, but Bank shall have the right to apply all
or any part of such surplus (or to hold the same as a reserve against) any and all other liability of each or any Maker to Bank. 
The Obligers, jointly and severally, promise and agree to pay all costs and expenses of collection and reasonable attorneys' fee,
including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees on appeal, if collected by legal proceedings or through an attorney at law.
Maker hereby waives any right to a trial by jury in any civil action arising out of, or based upon, this note or the Collateral.
        Bank shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral to the extent required by applicable
statute, and shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care if it takes such action for that purpose as Maker shall reasonably
request in writing, but no omission to do any act not requested by Maker shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and
no omission to comply with any request of Maker shall of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.  Bank shall not be
bound to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties and Maker shall take all necessary
steps for such purposes.  Bank or its nominee need not collect interest on or principal of any Collateral or give any notice with
respect to it.
        If the Collateral shall at any time become unsatisfactory to Bank, Maker shall within one day after demand pledge and
deposit with Bank as part of the Collateral additional property which is satisfactory to Bank.
        Bank shall have the right, which may be exercised at any time whether or not this note is due, to notify the Obligors on any
Collateral to make payment to Bank on any amounts due or to become due thereon.  In the event of any default hereunder, Bank shall
thereafter have, but shall not be limited to, the following rights: (i) to pledge or transfer this note and the Collateral so
pledged or transferred, and any pledgee or transferee shall for all purposes stand in the place of Bank hereunder and have all the
rights of Bank hereunder; (ii) to transfer the whole or any part of the Collateral into the name of itself or its nominee; (iii) to
vote the Collateral; (iv) to demand, sue for, collect, or make any compromise or settlement it deems desirable with reference to the
Collateral; and (v) to take control of any proceeds of Collateral.
        I HEREBY CONSENT TO THE ATTACHMENT OR GARNISHMENT OF MY EARNINGS.
        No delay or omission on the part of Bank in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any
other right under this note. Presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor and extension of time without notice are hereby waived
by each and every Obligor.  Any notice to Maker shall be sufficiently served for all purposes if placed in the mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to or left upon the premises at, the address show below or any other address shown on the Bank's records.
        I waive any and all privilege and rights which I may have under Chapter 47, Florida Statutes, relating to venue, as it now
exists or may hereafter be amended.  I agree that any action shall be brought in the County in which the Bank's business office is
located as designated above or at which the loan was closed.
        JURY WAIVER MAKER AND BANK HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER OF THEM MAY
HAVE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY BASED HEREON, OR ARISING
OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION
HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO.  THIS
PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BANK ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.  FURTHER, MAKER HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR
AGENT OF BANK, NOR THE BANK'S COUNSEL, HAS REPRESENTED EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE THAT BANK WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION.  NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF THE BANK, NOR BANK'S COUNSEL, HAS THE
AUTHORITY TO WAIVE, CONDITION, OR MODIFY THIS PROVISION.

        In addition to the liability as endorsers, which the undersigned hereby assume, for value received and intending to be
legally bound the undersigned (and if more than one, each of them jointly and severally) (a) hereby become surety to the payee of
the within note, its successors, endorsees and assigns, for the payment of the within note and hereby unconditionally guarantee the
payment of the within note and all extensions or renewals thereof and all sums payable under or by virtue thereof, including, 
without limiation, all amounts of principal and interest and all expenses (including attorney's fees) incurred in the collection
thereof, the enforcement of rights thereunder or with respect to any security therefor and the enforcement hereof, and waive
presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and all other notices whatsoever, and (b) consent and agree (i) that all or any of
the Collateral may be exchanged, released, surrendered or sold from time to time, (ii) that the payment of the note, or any of the
liabilities of the Maker thereof, may be extended or said note renewed any number of times and for any period (whether or not longer
than the original period of said note); (iii) that the holder of said note may grant any releases, compromises or indulgences with
respect to said note or any extensions or renewals thereof or any security therefor or to any party named thereunder or hereunder 
(including but not limited to failure or refusal to exercise one or more of the rights or remedies provided by said note); and (iv)
that any of the provisions of said note may be modified; all without notice to or consent of and without affecting the liability of
the undersigned as endorsers and sureties, and further consent and agree that any of the undersigned may be sued by the holder 
hereof with or without joining any of the other endorsers or makers of said note and without first contemporaneously suing any such
other persons, or otherwise seeking or proceeding to collect from them or any of them, and without first or contemporaneously 
undertaking to enforce any rights with respect to any security.
