C. In the event of any incorporation (or other formation),
acquisition, merger or consolidation which results in a new entity which is not
one of the Borrowers then in effect, Borrower shall cause such new entity,
within thirty (30) days of the closing of the transaction, to formally join in
the execution of this Loan Agreement, and to execute such documents as may be
necessary for any such new entity to pledge all of its assets to Bank, it being
the intent of the parties that each Borrower, and all Subsidiaries of each
Borrower, shall be jointly and severally liable for the Loan and all their
respective assets shall act as collateral therefore. Upon joinder, the term
"Borrower" shall be read to include any and all new entities. Any such new
entity (together with any existing Borrower) shall sign such joinder documents
and financing statements as Bank may require, and in such form as the Bank may
require, in Bank's reasonable discretion. Any outside legal fees incurred by
Bank shall be reimbursed by Borrower. Any breach of this joinder obligation
shall constitute a default under this Agreement.
VI. DEFAULT. Borrower shall be in default under this Agreement and
under each of the other Loan Documents if it shall default in the payment of
any amounts due and owing under the Loan or should it fail to timely and
properly observe, keep or perform any term, covenant, agreement or condition in
any Loan Document or in any other loan agreement, promissory note, security
agreement, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, mortgage, assignment or other
contract securing or evidencing payment of any indebtedness of Borrower to Bank
or any affiliate or subsidiary of NationsBank Corporation. Notwithstanding the
above, Borrower shall have a period of ten (10) days to cure any default based
on Borrower's failure to pay any monetary obligation due to Bank and thirty
(30) days from the date of written notice from Bank to Borrower to cure any
other default by Borrower before Bank may pursue its remedies.
VII. CROSS-DEFAULT PROVISION. Borrowers jointly and severally
acknowledge and agree that a breach of any term, condition, warranty or
covenant herein by Borrower shall constitute a default under this Loan
Agreement. Furthermore, any breach of or default under this Loan Agreement
automatically shall constitute a default under all the other Loan Documents
incident to this Facility; similarly, any breach or default by Borrowers under
any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed a default under all the other Loan
Documents and under this Loan Agreement. A default by Borrower under any loan
(term, line of credit or otherwise) with Bank shall constitute a default under
this Loan Agreement and all other Loan Documents incident to this Facility, and
a default under this Loan shall constitute a default under any other loan from
Bank to Borrowers. Upon any such breach or default, Bank shall have the right
to exercise any and all remedies allowable under the documents and under
Florida law, and may proceed under any document or may proceed to exercise any
specific remedy without being required to resort to any other remedy allowable
by law or under any specific loan document. Borrower, jointly and severally,
agree to pay to Bank all costs of collection in the event of any such breach or
default, including, without limitation, a reasonable attorneys' fee for Bank's
legal counsel as provided in the Loan Documents.
VIII. CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION PROVISION. The Collateral for this Loan
also shall
13
14
act as collateral for any future loan from Bank to Borrowers, upon written
notice from Bank to Borrowers, at any time, the collateral for any future loan
(or any collateralized Interest Rate Protection Agreement) from Bank to
Borrowers also shall secure this Loan.
IX. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.
A. If an event of default shall occur, and except as provided in
Section VI above, Bank shall have all rights, powers and remedies available
under each of the Loan Documents as well as all rights and remedies available
at law or in equity.
B. Borrower shall have no right of setoff against Bank under the
Loan or under this Agreement or under any instruments securing the Note or
executed in connection with the Loan. Bank, however, shall have the right, in
addition to all other remedies provided herein or at law, immediately and
without further action by it, to setoff against the Note or otherwise under
this Agreement all monies owned, if any, by Bank in any capacity to Borrower,
whether or not then due. In the event the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") shall assume control of Bank and seize any deposits of Borrower, the
amounts seized shall reduce the indebtedness of Borrower under the Note and
this Agreement.
X. NOTICES. All notices, requests or demands which any party is
required or may desire to give to any other party under any provision of this
Agreement must be in writing delivered to the other party at the following

and each of the Loan Documents, and (b) all other costs and attorneys' fees
incurred by Bank for which Borrower is obligated to reimburse Bank in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
XII. MISCELLANEOUS. Borrower and Bank further covenant and agree as
follows, without limiting any requirement of any other Loan Document:
A. CUMULATIVE RIGHTS AND NO WAIVER. Each and every right granted
to Bank under any Loan Document, or allowed it by law or equity shall be
cumulative of each other and may be exercised in addition to any and all other
rights of Bank, and no delay in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Bank of any right preclude
any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
Borrower expressly waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, including but not limited to notice of intent to accelerate and
notice of acceleration. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall,
of itself, entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances.
B. APPLICABLE LAW. This Loan Agreement and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of Florida (without regard to choice of law
principles) and applicable United States federal law.
C. AMENDMENT. No modification, consent, amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Loan Agreement, nor consent to any departure by Borrower
therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
an officer of Bank, and then shall be effective only in the specified instance
and for the purpose for which given. This Loan Agreement is binding upon
Borrower, its successors and assigns, and inures to the benefit of Bank, its
successors and assigns; however, no assignment or other transfer of Borrower's
rights or obligations hereunder shall be made or be effective without Bank's
prior written consent, nor shall it relieve Borrower of any obligations
hereunder. There is no third party beneficiary of this Loan Agreement.
D. DOCUMENTS. All documents, certificates and other items
required under this Loan Agreement to be executed and/or delivered to Bank
shall be in form and content satisfactory to Bank and its counsel.
E. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. The unenforceability or invalidity of any
provision of this Loan Agreement shall not affect the enforceability or
validity of any other provision herein and the invalidity or unenforceability
of any provision of any Loan Document to any person or circumstance shall not
affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to
other persons or circumstances.
F. INDEMNIFICATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 10(G), Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Bank and
its successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims,
demands, suits, losses, damages, assessments, fines, penalties, costs or other
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising from or
in any way related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including
but not limited to actual or threatened damage to the environment, agency costs
of investigation, personal injury or death, or property damage, due to a
release or alleged release of Hazardous Materials, arising from Borrower's
business operations, any other property owned by Borrower or in the surface or
ground water arising from Borrower's business operations, or gaseous emissions
arising from Borrower's business operations or any other condition existing or
arising from Borrower's business operations resulting from the use or existence
of Hazardous Materials, whether
15
16
such claim proves to be true or false. Borrower further agrees that its
indemnity obligations shall include, but are not limited to, liability for
damages resulting from the personal injury or death of an employee of the
Borrower, regardless of whether the Borrower has paid the employee under the
workmen' s compensation laws of any state or other similar federal or state
legislation for the protection of employees. The term "property damage" as used
in this paragraph includes, but is not limited to, damage to any real or
personal property of the Borrower, the Bank, and of any third parties. The
Borrower's obligations under this paragraph shall survive the repayment of the
Loan and any deed in lieu of foreclosure or foreclosure of any Deed to Secure
Debt, Deed of Trust, Security Agreement or Mortgage securing the Loan.
G. SURVIVABILITY. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made herein or in the other Loan Documents shall survive the making
of the Loan and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the Loan is
outstanding or the obligation of the Bank to make any advances under the Line
shall not have expired.
H. REFINANCE. In the event Borrower enters into negotiations with
another financial institution to "take out" or otherwise refinance the Loan,
Borrower hereby agrees to give Bank a first right of refusal to match the terms
proposed by any other lender. Upon receipt of a signed commitment letter from
another financial institution, Borrower shall deliver a copy to Bank. Bank
shall then have ten (10) business days from the date of actual receipt to
notify Borrower that Bank is willing to match all material terms contained in
the commitment letter; provided, however, that Bank shall have at least twenty
(20) days from the date of Bank's notice to Borrower of its willingness to
match the terms to "close," notwithstanding any language in the commitment
letter to the contrary.

(A) Borrower has (i) begun analyzing the operations of Borrower
and its subsidiaries and affiliates that could be adversely affected by failure
to become Year 2000 compliant (that is, that computer applications, imbedded
microchips and other systems will be able to perform date-sensitive functions
prior to and after December 31, 1999) and; (ii) developed a plan for becoming
Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner, the implementation of which is on
schedule in all material respects. Borrower reasonably believes that it will
become Year 2000 compliant for its operations and those of its subsidiaries and
affiliates on a timely basis except to the extent that a failure to do so could
not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the financial
condition of Borrower.
(B) Borrower reasonably believes any suppliers and vendors that
are material to the operations of Borrower to its subsidiaries and affiliates
will be Year 2000 compliant for their own computer applications except to the
extent that a failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect upon the financial condition of Borrower.
(C) Borrower will promptly notify Bank in the event Borrower
determines that any computer application which is material to the operations of
Borrower, its subsidiaries or any of its material vendors or suppliers will not
be fully Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis, except to the extent that such
failure could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon
the financial condition of Borrower.
