provided in Section 2.08 hereof. After the expiration of the Revolving Period,
the Borrower shall not be entitled to receive any Subsequent Advance. The
Revolving Loan may revolve during the Revolving Period; accordingly, during the
Revolving Period, the Borrower may borrow up to the maximum principal amount
available under said Revolving Loan, repay all or any portion of such principal
amount of said Revolving Loan, and reborrow up to such maximum principal amount,
subject to the terms and
11
conditions set forth herein.
(B) TERM LOAN. The Bank agrees to extend to the Borrower the proceeds
of the Term Loan upon the term and conditions set forth herein.
SECTION 2.02 ADVANCES; INTEREST RATE SELECTION. (a) On the Initial
Advance Date and upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Article Five hereof, the Initial Advance with respect to the Revolving Loan and
the proceeds of the Term Loan shall be disbursed by the Bank to or on behalf of
the Borrower. If the Borrower shall fail to satisfy the conditions precedent set
forth in Article Five hereof on the Initial Advance Date, the Bank's commitment
to lend funds to or on behalf of the Borrower shall terminate. After the Initial
Advance and upon continued satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Article Five hereof, the Borrower shall be entitled to receive Subsequent
Advances under the Revolving Loan.
(b) When requested by the Borrower, the Bank shall, as soon as
practical, provide Borrower with its determination of the then available
Interest Rates offered by the Bank on the Loans for the requested Interest
Periods (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive
and binding upon all parties) and the Borrower shall give the Bank five (5) Days
prior notice (in writing or by telephone confirmed immediately thereafter in
writing), or such other time as may be acceptable to the Bank (an "Interest Rate
Selection Notice") which shall specify (i) the amount(s) of the Advance(s) on
the Loan(s), and (ii) the Borrower's designation of the selected Interest
Rate(s)/Interest Period(s) applicable to the Loans (which may be up to ten (10)
separate Interest Rate(s)/Interest Period(s) with respect to either the
Revolving Loan or the Term Loan). The Bank shall have no duty or obligation to
verify or confirm the authority of the representative of the Borrower requesting
any such Subsequent Advance as long as said person identifies himself as one of
the persons noted on EXHIBIT "B" attached hereto.
(c) By giving notice as set forth hereinabove, the Borrower shall have
the option, subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.02, to specify
whether the Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Loan commencing on any such
date shall be a period of 30, 60, 90 or 180 Days or such other period as may be
agreed upon between the Borrower and the Bank; provided, that:
(i) in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods,
each successive Interest Period shall commence on the Day on which the
immediately preceding Interest Period expires;
(ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a Day
which is not a Banking Day, that Interest Period shall be extended to expire on
the next succeeding Banking Day; provided, that if any such Interest Period
would otherwise expire on a Day which is not a Banking Day but is a Day of the
month after which no further Banking Day occurs in that month, that Interest
Period shall expire on the next preceding Banking Day;
(iii) any Interest Period which begins on the last Banking Day
of a calendar month (or on a Day for which there is no numerically corresponding
Day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the
last Banking Day of a calendar month;
(iv) (A) no Interest Period applicable to the Revolving Loan
shall extend beyond, the last day of the Revolving Period, as it may exist from
time to time and (B) no Interest Period applicable to the Term Loan shall extend
beyond the Maturity Date as it may exist from time to time.
(v) if the Borrower fails to timely provide the Bank with an
Interest Rate Selection Notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected
the same Interest Period as was previously in effect for such Advance.
(d) Any Advance for which the Treasury Rate has been selected shall
have an Interest Period that expires on the then scheduled maturity of such
Loan.
12
(e) Requests by the Borrower for any Subsequent Advance under the
Revolving Loan on any date shall be in the minimum principal amount of
$10,000.00 or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to the Bank. The Bank
shall make each Subsequent Advance hereunder on the date proposed by the
Borrower therefor (which may be the same Banking Day if such request is made by
the Borrower and is received by the Bank prior to 1:00 p.m. Orlando time),
otherwise no earlier than the following Banking Day) by crediting the amount of
each Subsequent Advance requested by the Borrower to the general deposit account
of the Borrower maintained with the Bank or any other subsidiary bank of
SunTrust Banks, Inc.
SECTION 2.03 INTEREST ON THE NOTES. The Loans shall be evidenced by the
Notes and shall be due and payable in accordance with and as required by Section
2.08. The Borrower shall not be liable under the Notes except with respect to
funds actually advanced to the Borrower by the Bank pursuant to the terms
hereof. The Notes shall bear interest from the date thereof on the unpaid
principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding at the Interest Rate(s)
applicable to any Loan. From and after the Due Date, interest shall accrue on
the unpaid principal balance of the Loans and on all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon, or on any defaulted payment, from the Due Date at the Default Rate.
Such interest shall continue to accrue until the date of payment in full of all
principal and accrued but unpaid interest of such defaulted payment, if
applicable.
SECTION 2.04 RESTRICTION ON PREPAYMENT. (a) Treasury Loans. The
Borrower may not prepay all or any part of the principal amount of a Treasury
Loan outstanding except on the last Banking Day of the Interest Period
applicable to a particular Advance. In the event that a Treasury Loan is prepaid
other than in accordance with the terms hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay upon
demand such amounts as the Bank determines in its good faith judgment to be
required to compensate it for any loss (including the loss of anticipated
profits) direct or indirect costs incurred by reason of the liquidation of
deposits or investments or the redeployment of deposits, investments or funds
acquired by the Bank to fund any such Treasury Loan being prepaid. A certificate
of the Bank claiming compensation under this section delivered to the Borrower
and setting forth the amount to be paid to it and its calculations in support
hereof in reasonable detail shall be, in the absence of manifest error, final,
conclusive and binding.
(b) Prime Loans and LIBOR Loans. The Borrower may prepay all
or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of a Prime Loan or LIBOR
Loan without penalty as provided in this Section 2.04.
Each prepayment other than full payment shall be made prior to 2:00 P.M.
(Orlando time) on the date of the prepayment, and shall be made on a Banking Day
in immediately available funds. All prepayments of a Loan shall be applied as
follows: (i) first to any outstanding costs or fees of the Bank and relating to
its administration of the Loans or exercising its rights hereunder, (ii) next to
the payment of accrued but unpaid interest, and (iii) finally to the principal
then due on the Loans.
SECTION 2.05 CALCULATION OF INTEREST. Any interest due on the Loans or
any other Obligations shall be calculated on the basis of a year containing 365
days. The interest due on any date for payment of interest hereunder shall be
that interest to the extent accrued as of midnight on the last Day immediately
prior to that interest payment date. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any
Loan Document to the contrary, the sum of all interest and all other amounts
deemed interest under Florida or other applicable law which may collected by the
Bank hereunder shall not exceed the maximum lawful interest rate permitted by
such law from time to time. The Bank and the Borrower intend and agree that
under no circumstance shall the Borrower be required to pay interest on the
Loans or on any other Obligations at a rate in excess of the maximum interest
rate permitted by applicable law from time to time, and in the event any such
interest is received or charged by the Bank in excess of that rate, the Borrower
shall be entitled to an immediate refund of any such excess interest by a credit
to and payment toward the unpaid balance of the Loans (such credit to be
considered to have been made at the time of the payment of the excess interest)
with any excess interest not so credited to be immediately paid to the Borrower
by the Bank.
13
SECTION 2.06 PLACE OF PAYMENT. All payments by the Borrower under the
Loan Documents shall be made to the Bank at its office located at 000 Xxxxx
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, in lawful money of the United States of America
and in immediately available funds.

or other restriction which materially and adversely affects its business,
property or assets, or financial condition. Neither the execution nor delivery

or assets of the Borrower pursuant to, the charter or by-laws of the Borrower,
any award of any arbitrator or any agreement (including any agreement with

regulation to which the Borrower is subject. The Borrower is not a party to, or
otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing
indebtedness of the Borrower, any agreement relating thereto or any other
contract or agreement (including in the case of a non-natural person, its
charter) which restricts or otherwise limits the incurring of the debt to be
evidenced by the Notes.
SECTION 3.04 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Borrower has furnished the Bank
with the following financial statements, certified to be correct by a principal
financial officer of the Borrower: (i) audited balance sheets of the Borrower as
at December 31, 1994 and 1995, and (ii) audited profit and loss and surplus
statement of the Borrower for the fiscal years ended on such dates, all prepared
by Coopers & Xxxxxxx and (iii) the call reports of each Subsidiary bank (signed

the 10-Q reports and 10-K reports of the Borrower and any related reports on

correct in all material respects (subject, as to interim statements, to changes
resulting from audits and year-end adjustments) and have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP and show all liabilities, direct and contingent, required
to be shown in accordance with such principles of the various entities and
individuals to which they relate. The balance sheets fairly present the
financial condition of the various entities and individuals to which they relate
as at the dates thereof, and the profit and loss and surplus statements fairly
present the results of the operations of the various entities and individuals to
which they relate for the periods indicated. There has been no material adverse
change in the business, condition or operations (financial or otherwise) of the
Borrower taken as a whole since the date of the latest financial statement
referred to above.
SECTION 3.05 CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITIONS; ADVERSE DEVELOPMENTS.

there will be, no change in the properties, assets, liabilities, financial
condition, business, operations, affairs or prospects of the Borrower from that

SECTION 3.06 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS. All federal, state and local tax

other than those presently (a) payable without penalty or interest, or (b)
contested in good faith and by appropriate and lawful proceedings prosecuted
diligently. The aggregate amount of the taxes, assessments, charges and levies
so contested is not material to the condition (financial or otherwise) and
operations of the Borrower, as applicable. The charges, accruals, and reserves
on the books of the Borrower in respect of federal, state and local taxes for
all fiscal periods to date are adequate and the Borrower knows of any other
unpaid assessment for additional federal, state or local taxes for any such
fiscal period or of any basis therefor. The Borrower has and will establish all

has good and marketable title to its respective real properties other than
properties which it leases and good title to all of its other properties and
assets, including the properties and assets reflected in the latest balance
sheet described in Section 3.04 hereinabove (other than properties and assets
disposed of in the ordinary course of business); provided, however, the Borrower

has been granted a security interest in certain residential real estate loans of
the Borrower as collateral for borrowings made by the Borrower from the Federal

provisions which might materially affect or impair the operation of such
properties and assets.

condition, business, prospects, affairs or operations of the Borrower in any of
its properties or assets, or in any material impairment of the right or ability
of the Borrower to carry on its respective operations as now conducted or
proposed to be conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the
Borrower, or which questions the validity of this Agreement, the Notes, the
Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or of any action taken or to
be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

contained in this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents shall for any

Loan Documents, but this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall
be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never

adversely affect the rights of the Bank under any or all of the Loan Documents,
the same shall be an Event of Default.

this Agreement contained by or on behalf of either of the parties hereto shall
bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the
parties hereto whether so expressed or not; provided, however, this clause shall
not by itself authorize any delegation of duties by the Borrower or any other
assignment which may be prohibited by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

Agreement is solely for their benefit and no person not a party hereto shall
