attached hereto, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such
holder shall be entitled; provided, that ALHI shall not be obligated to

mortgages and security interests in customary form supplied by the

shareholders entitled to such dividends shall be proportionately decreased
(adjusted to the nearest 1/100th of a share of Common Stock), such
adjustment to become effective immediately after the date fixed for such
determination.
2.8.4 If ALHI shall subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or
combination, as the case may be, shall be proportionately increased or
decreased (adjusted to the nearest 1/100th of a share of Common Stock), as
the case may require, such increase or decrease, as the case may be, to
become effective when such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
2.8.5 In the case of any reclassification or change of outstanding
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note, or in the
case of any consolidation or merger of ALHI with or into another
corporation, or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another
corporation of all or substantially all of the property of ALHI, the
holder of the Note shall have the right thereafter, so long as such
holder's conversion right hereunder shall exist, to convert the Note in
whole or in part, into the same kind and amount of shares of stock and
other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock of ALHI into which the Note might have
been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.
2.8.6 In case securities or property other than shares of Common
Stock shall be issuable or deliverable upon the conversion as aforesaid,
then all references in this Section shall be deemed to apply, so far as
appropriate and as nearly as may be, to such other securities or property.
The subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock
(whether with or without par value) shall not be deemed to be a
reclassification of the Common Stock of ALHI for the purposes of this
subsection.
8
2.8.7 ALHI shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, such number of its shares
of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the

can now foresee, is reasonably likely to prove to materially and adversely
affect the business or financial condition of any Borrower or the ability of any
Borrower to perform this Agreement or the Note.
11
Section 3.6 Litigation. Except to the extent disclosed in the ALHI SEC
Filings, there are no suits, actions or proceedings pending, or to the knowledge
of the Borrowers, threatened before any court or by or before any governmental

against or affecting any Borrower which, if adversely determined, would have a
material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of any Borrower.

state and local tax returns which are required to be filed, and have paid or
caused to be paid, or have reserved on their books amounts sufficient for the
payment of, all taxes as shown on said returns or on any assessment received by
them, to the extent that the taxes have become due, except as otherwise
permitted by the provisions hereof. Each of the Borrower has set up reserves
which are reasonably believed by each Borrower to be adequate for the payment of
said taxes for the years that have not been audited by the respective tax
authorities.
Section 3.8 No Adverse Restrictions or Defaults. Except as disclosed in
the ALHI SEC Filings, no Borrower is a party to any agreement or instrument or
subject to any court order or judgment, governmental decree, charter or other
restriction adversely and materially affecting its business, properties or
assets, operations or condition (financial or otherwise). No Borrower is in
material default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the
obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any material agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which any Borrower and their respective
properties, may be bound or affected, or under any material law, regulation,
decree, order or the like, which default would have a material adverse effect on
such Borrower.

approvals and licenses required under applicable law or regulation for the
ownership or operation of the property owned or operated by any Borrower or for
the conduct of business in which any Borrower is engaged, have been duly issued
and are in full force and effect, and to the best of Borrowers' actual
knowledge, none of the Borrowers are in default under any material order,
decree, ruling, regulation, closing agreement or other decision or instrument of
any government commission, bureau or other administrative agency or public
regulatory body having jurisdiction over any of the Borrowers, which default
would have a material adverse effect on any of the Borrowers. No approval,
consent or authorization of or filing or registration with any governmental
commission, bureau or other regulatory authority or agency is required with
respect to the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, the Note or
any of the Loan Documents executed in connection with the making of the Loan,

been duly made by ALHI as of the Effective Date.

warranties and representations, each Borrower shall and hereby agrees to
indemnify Lender for any such claims notwithstanding the full repayment of the

Section 8.1 No Waiver, Remedies Cumulative. No failure on the part of the

hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any

of any remedies provided by law.
Section 8.2 Investment Representations. Lender represents that the Lender
is an "accredited investor" as defined in the Securities Act and the rules
promulgated thereunder, and agrees that the Note is being acquired for
investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and that the Lender
will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of the Note or the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof except under circumstances which will not
result in a violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state "blue sky"
laws or similar state or foreign laws relating to the sale of securities. Unless
the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note
shall have been registered under the Securities Act, the Lender, by tendering
notice to ALHI of the Lender's intent to convert all or part of the Note, shall
be deemed to represent to the Borrowers that the Lender is acquiring such shares
of Common Stock for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof.
Section 8.3 Release and Waiver of Claims. Borrower and its affiliates
hereby acknowledge that Borrower acquired assets for use in the Antigua Call
Center, incurred expenses, and made expenditures in connection therewith, and
made the independent judgment to fund operations in Antigua Call Center, and in
so doing has not in any way relied upon any representations, advice, or counsel
of the Lender, and was not induced by the Lender to incur such expenses and make
such expenditures. The Borrower hereby releases and covenants not to xxx the
Lender for any losses it has, or may in the future, incur in Antigua, and
furthermore hereby waives any and all claims which may be asserted for the
actual and consequential damages incurred by the Borrower (including, without
limitation, amounts required to be paid under this Agreement by the Borrower to
Lender), including claims to seek recourse against the Lender in the event the
Lender fails to advance any remaining Availability Amount. Borrower agrees that
neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages (except
to the extent that Borrower can prove Lender's bad faith or willful misconduct),
20
and in the event of bad faith or willful misconduct, Borrower's sole remedies
shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or
declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to
determine whether Lender has acted in bad faith or with willful misconduct shall
be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Lender agrees that, in
such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive
relief or declaratory judgment. Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the pleading of any statute of
limitations as a defense to payment of any amounts due under this Agreement or
the performance of its other obligations set forth in the Loan Documents.
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a
compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by
Lender or its agents.

warranties made herein shall survive the making of the loans hereunder and the
delivery of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the
Note is outstanding and unpaid and the Commitment has not been terminated.

party hereto shall be by telegram, facsimile transmission with next day delivery
of original, telex or registered or certified mail and shall be deemed to have

specified next to its signature hereto (or at any other address that the party
may hereafter specify to the other parties in writing).

contract made under the law of the State of Florida and shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the law of said state and any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be commenced and
maintained in any court of competent subject matter jurisdiction in Miami-Dade
County, Florida, and any objection to such jurisdiction and venue is hereby
expressly waived.
Section 8.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of each Borrower and the Lender, and their
respective successors and assigns, provided, that no Borrower may assign any of
its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender, which may
be arbitrarily withheld, and any such assignment will be void.
Section 8.8 Limit on Interest. Anything herein or in the Note to the
contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement
and the Note to the Lender shall be subject to the limitation that payments of
interest to the Lender shall not be required to the extent that receipt of any
such payment by the Lender would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to
the Lender (if any) which limit the maximum rate of interest which may be
charged or collected by the Lender; provided however, that nothing herein shall
be construed to limit the Lender to presently existing maximum rates of
interest, if any increased interest rate is hereafter permitted by reason of
applicable federal or state legislation.

this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provision had never been contained herein.

as a final expression of their agreement with respect to the subject matter
hereof and is intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and
