Lender does not waive or release any term or condition of the Note or the other
Loan Documents or any of its rights or remedies under such Loan Documents, or

5. Reinstatement of Note and Loan Documents. Lender, without prejudice to
or waiver of any right or remedy available to it by reason of the occurrence
subsequent to the date hereof of any event or condition constituting a Possible
Default or Event of Default or any other default or event of default that has
occurred and is continuing under the Note or the other Loan Documents hereby
agrees to take no action with respect to any such Possible Default or Event of
Default or any other default or event of default that has occurred and is
continuing under the Note or the other Loan Documents which heretofore has
occurred, until no earlier than January 31, 2003. Borrower and Lender hereby
agree that the Note and the Loan Documents are fully reinstated in accordance
with their terms and conditions, as amended, by this Amendment, as if no
Possible Default or Event of Default or any other default or event of default
that has occurred and is continuing under the Note or the other Loan Documents
had occurred in the payment of the Indebtedness prior to the date of this
Agreement, but only until January 31, 2003. It is expressly understood that
Lender will and does hereafter require full performance of any and all terms,
conditions and requirements of all Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment.
It is further understood and agreed that the validity and perfection of the
liens and security interests granted under the Loan Documents are not diminished
or impaired in any way by this Amendment. Borrower agrees to perform and/or
observe the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to which it is a party,
as amended by this Amendment.
6. No Commitment to Make Further Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document (including, without
limitation, the Loan Agreement) any and all commitments of Lender to advance
funds or issue letters of credit to, or on behalf of, Borrower are terminated
and Lender shall have no further obligation to advance funds or issue letters of
credit to, or on behalf of, Borrower.
7. Expenses. All expenses incurred by Borrower or Lender in connection with
this transaction, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, shall be borne
by Borrower and to the extent Lender's expenses are not paid by Borrower within
10 days of Lender submitting an invoice therefor to Borrower, the amount of such
expenses shall be added to the outstanding principal amount of the Indebtedness
and shall accrue interest in accordance with Paragraph 3 hereof.
8. Ratification of Prior Instruments and Priorities. Except as herein
expressly amended, each and every term, condition, warranty and provision of the
Note and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and the
Note and other Loan Documents as amended through even date herewith are hereby
ratified, confirmed and approved by the parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be
construed to alter or affect the priority of the liens, security interests or
title created by the Loan Documents. Any provision herein that might otherwise
be construed to conflict with the desire of Lender that the liens, security
interests and title of the Loan Documents be maintained and preserved prior to
any and all encumbrances affecting the Collateral arising subsequent to the
execution of the Loan Documents shall, at Lender's option, be void and of no
force and effect; it being the expressly declared intention of the parties
hereto that no novation of the Loan Documents be created hereby. Any promissory
note or other indebtedness described in the Loan Documents as the obligation
secured thereby shall hereafter mean the Note as modified by this Agreement and
the Indebtedness. The Loan Documents as modified and amended hereby are hereby
ratified and confirmed in all respects.
9. Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants
that: (a) Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Florida; (b) Borrower has all requisite
power and authority and all necessary consents, approvals, licenses, permits and
other authorizations (i) to own and operate the Collateral, (ii) to execute and

result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction
or decree of any court or governmental authority to which Borrower is subject,
or of the articles of incorporation, bylaws or any other organizational document
of Borrower, or of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, promissory note, loan
agreement or any other agreement or undertaking to which Borrower is a party or
by which Borrower or its properties may be bound or subject.

and reference only and do not in any way limit or amplify the terms and
provisions hereof.

covenants or agreements contained herein or if any statement, representation or
warranty contained herein is false, misleading or erroneous in any material
respect, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred and Lender shall
