any Line Advances and the Revolving Note, and shall credit to the Loan Account

Loan Amount may not be increased or reinstated.

or action on the part of the Bank, and all Line Advances and the outstanding
balance of the Revolving Note shall be due and payable in full, on the

time, any of its obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement.

termination of this Agreement or the fact that the Loan Account may from time to
time be temporarily in a credit position. Borrower may terminate the Agreement
by giving Bank not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice of termination

purchases or for any purpose whatsoever.

8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
-----------------
Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following Events of Default, the
Loan shall, at the option of Bank, become immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by Borrower, and no further Line Advances will be made by Bank:
(a) failure by Borrower to pay any installment of principal or interest
under the Revolving Note within five (5) days after the same becomes due and
payable;
-55-
(b) Financial Impairment of Borrower;
(c) if any statement or representation contained in the loan application
or any financial statements or other materials furnished to Bank by or on behalf
of Borrower prior or subsequent to the making of the Loan is discovered to have
been false or incorrect or incomplete in any material respect and is not cured
or corrected to Bank's satisfaction within 30 days after notice thereof;
(d) an action for foreclosure or martialling of liens is commenced
against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and such action is not
dismissed within sixty five (65) days from the date of filing thereof;
(e) a default or event of default (after any required notice and cure
period) occurs under any other mortgage or security agreement encumbering all or
any part of the Mortgaged Property; or
(f) Failure of Borrower to promptly pay, perform, or observe when due,
whether upon demand, at maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, or any event
which either results in or would result in (but for waiver by the holder(s) or
trustee(s) thereof) the acceleration of the maturity of, any or all
indebtedness, obligations, liabilities, contracts, indentures, and agreements
(including, without limitation, any and all warranties, covenants, guaranties,
provisions, terms, and conditions set forth or contained therein), of whatever
kind and however evidenced, evidencing, securing or involving indebtedness of
Borrower in excess of $2,500,000, in the aggregate, owed, incurred, or executed
by Borrower, to, in favor of, or with any and all Persons other than Bank, and
including any partial or total extension, renewal, amendment, restatement, and
substitution thereof or therefor, except for any such failure caused by any
breach or failure by Bank of any of its obligations to release Collateral
pursuant hereto or to the Mortgage;
(g) An Event of Default occurs under the Mortgage or any other Loan
Document;
(h) Any sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or
other disposition by any Person, or the issuance by Borrower, of any voting
stock, or any option, warrant, or other security convertible to voting stock, or
any other right to acquire voting stock, of the Borrower, whether with or
without consideration, voluntarily or by operation of law that would result in a
Change of Control of Borrower, as defined in the Senior Indenture as in effect
on the date hereof; or
(i) Breach or violation of any covenant in Section 6.B(3),(4) or (6)
hereof;
(j) failure by Borrower to observe or perform any other term, covenant
or agreement contained in this Agreement, in the Revolving Note or in the
Mortgage or in any other Loan Document; provided, however, that if the failure
is other than the payment of money, or the
-56-
maintenance of insurance, is not intentional or grossly negligent on the part of
the Borrower, and does not constitute an emergency in the reasonable opinion of
Bank, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default if (i) Borrower
institutes curative action and pursues such action to completion within thirty
(30) days after written notice of such failure has been given to Borrower by
Bank; or (ii) the failure is of such nature that it can be corrected but not
within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof has been given to Borrower
by Bank, and Borrower has within the aforesaid thirty (30) day period instituted
curative action and diligently and continuously pursued such action to
completion, provided that such failure shall become an Event of Default if not
cured to Bank's satisfaction within ninety (90) days after such written notice.
9. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT
-----------------------------------------
(a) Upon occurrence of any Event of Default, the Loan shall, at the
option of Bank and without any further notice or demand not expressly required
herein, become immediately due and payable, and shall thereafter bear interest
at the Default Rate, and at all times thereafter Bank shall have all rights,
privileges, powers and remedies provided by law or equity and this Agreement,
the Mortgage and any other Loan Document, and which it may otherwise have
against the Borrower, the Collateral, or otherwise. The Bank may take possession
of the Collateral, either by lawful self-help or seizure under court authority.
Borrower agrees to permit the Bank to enter any premises where the Collateral
may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the
Collateral. Bank may require the Borrower to assemble any personal property
included in the Collateral and to promptly make it available to Bank at any
reasonably convenient place designated by Bank, whether at the Borrower's
premises or elsewhere. Borrower shall make available to Bank all of its premises
and facilities for the purpose of Bank's taking possession of, removing or
putting any personal property included in the Collateral in saleable form. At
any time or times after the Loan becomes due, Bank is empowered to collect,
sell, assign, transfer, set over, deliver or otherwise dispose of the whole or
any part of the personal property Collateral through any broker or at public or
private sale, either for cash or on credit or for future delivery, whether in
its then condition or after further preparation or processing, in Borrower's
name, Bank's name or in the name of such party as Bank may designate, with or
without warranties or representations, and upon such other terms as Bank may
deem commercially reasonable, and at any such sale Bank may become the purchaser
of the whole or any part of such Collateral, discharged from right of
redemption. Public or private sales, for cash or credit, to a wholesaler or
retailer or investor, or user of property of the type of the Collateral, or
public auction, are commercially reasonable since differences in the sales
prices generally realized in different kinds of sales are ordinarily offset by
the differences in the costs and credit risks of such sales. Borrower agrees
that to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, such requirement
shall be satisfied if such notice is mailed (deposited for delivery, postage
prepaid, by U.S. Mail) to either, at Bank's option (i) Borrower's Location (as
modified by any change therein which Borrower has supplied in writing to Bank),
or (ii) Borrower's address to which Bank customarily communicates with Borrower,
at least ten (10) days before the time of any public sale
-57-
or the time after which any private sale is to be made. Bank shall not be
obligated to make any sale regardless of notice of sale having been given. Bank
may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the
time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Upon any such sale
after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind, the residue of proceeds
thereof may be applied in such order as Bank may determine toward the payment of
all or any part of the Loan, whether due or not due, returning the surplus, if
any, to the Borrower, and the Borrower shall be and remain liable to Bank for
any and every deficiency after application of such proceeds. Bank shall not be
bound to take any steps to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior
parties, which the Borrower hereby assumes to do, and Bank shall have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if it takes
such action for that purpose as the Borrower shall reasonably request, but no
omission to comply with any such request shall be deemed a failure to exercise
reasonable care.
(b) Bank shall be under no obligation to take any action authorized
herein and shall have no liability for failure to take any such action or for
any action taken pursuant hereto, except for its gross negligence or willful
misconduct; and Borrower hereby waives and releases any and all claims against
the Bank arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.
(c) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may at any time
and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
without advance notice to the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived
by the Borrower), and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to
Bank, set off and apply any and all Cash Security and any other indebtedness or
obligation at any time owing by the Bank to or for the credit or the account of
the Borrower against any or all of the Loan, and with or without setting off, to
dishonor drafts, checks, transfer requests or any other means or direction of
withdrawal of any or all amounts owed by the Bank to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower (including but not limited to general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final) at any time owed, irrespective of whether or
not Bank has exercised any other rights that it has or may have with respect to
the Loan or any such Event of Default. The Borrower warrants that it has no
special accounts including, without limitation, trust accounts. Nor will it
establish with Bank such accounts without notice to the Bank. The Borrower
agrees to immediately notify the Bank whenever any third party obtains or
asserts any interest in any of its accounts with Bank.
(d) All of the foregoing rights and powers herein granted Bank shall be
liberally construed. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and powers is not
intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right shall not preclude the
exercise of any other rights, all of which shall be cumulative. Bank need not
expend its own funds in the exercise of such powers, but if it does, such
amounts shall be considered as advances for and on behalf of Borrower evidenced
by the
-58-
Revolving Note and secured by the Mortgage and this Agreement. Any amounts so
advanced shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
10. GENERAL
-------
(a) Severability. If any provision, term, or portion, of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, (1) any indebtedness, obligation, liability,
contract, agreement, indenture, warranty, covenant, guaranty, representation, or
condition of this Agreement made, assumed, or entered into, (2) any act or
action taken under this Agreement, or (3) any application of this Agreement) is
for any reason held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity
shall not affect any other such provision, term, or portion of this Agreement,
each of which shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid
provision, term, or portion were not contained in this Agreement. Any illegality
or invalidity of any application of this Agreement shall not affect any legal
and valid application of this Agreement, and each provision, term, and portion
of this Agreement shall be deemed to be effective, operative, made, entered
into, or taken in the manner and to the full extent permitted by law.
(b) No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank shall not be deemed to have
waived any of Bank's rights under this Agreement or under any other agreement,
instrument, or document executed by Borrower, unless such waiver is in writing
and signed by Bank. No delay or omission on part of Bank in exercising any right
or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right
or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or
waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All Bank's rights and
remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any other agreement,
instrument, or document, or available by statute, at law or in equity shall be
cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently and in such order as
Bank may determine.
(c) Notices. Any written demands, written requests, or written notices
to Borrower that Bank may elect to give shall be effective when deposited for
delivery, postage prepaid, by U.S. Mail, and addressed either, at Bank's option,
to (1) Borrower's Location (as modified by any change therein which Borrower has
supplied in writing to Bank) or, (2) Borrower's address at which Bank
customarily communicates with Borrower.
(d) Assignments by Bank. If at any time or times, by assignment or
otherwise, Bank transfers an interest in the Loan or any part of the Collateral
to another Person, such transfer shall carry with it Bank's powers and rights
under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or Collateral so transferred and
the transferee shall have said powers and rights, whether or not they are
specifically referred to in the transfer. Bank may not assign or transfer the
entire Loan without Borrower's prior written consent, but may assign or transfer
participation interests therein provided that Ohio Savings Bank shall at all
times be the "lead lender" for the purpose of exercising all
-59-
powers, rights and duties hereunder and provided that there shall be not more
than three (3) other participants owning in the aggregate not more than fifty
percent (50%) of the Loan.
(e) Governing Law. The laws of the State of Florida shall govern the
construction of this Agreement and the rights and duties of Borrower and Bank.
(f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Borrower and Bank and their respective successors and
assigns, provided that this Agreement may not be assigned by Borrower and any
such assignment or attempted assignment shall be void and of no force or effect
and an Event of Default hereunder. This Agreement may not be assigned by Bank
except as provided in Section 10(d) hereof. The rights and powers given in the
Agreement to the Bank are in addition to those otherwise created or existing in
the same Collateral by virtue of other agreements or writings.
(g) Indemnity. Borrower hereby releases Bank from and agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless Bank, and its officers, agents, and employees for
any and all claims of Borrower or any other Person for damage or loss caused by
any act or acts under this Agreement or in furtherance of this Agreement whether
by omission or commission, and whether based upon any error of judgment or
mistake of law or fact (except willful misconduct or gross negligence) on the
part of Bank, or its officers, agents, and employees.
(h) Amendments, Etc. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver
of any provision of any Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by the
Borrower from any Loan Document, shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by Bank, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effectively only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given.
(i) Reproduction of Original Financing Statements. Borrower hereby
authorizes Bank to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of a
financing statement, and any such filing shall constitute a sufficient financing
statement under the Code and shall have such other effects as may be provided
for by applicable law.
(j) Confidentiality. This Agreement shall not be filed or recorded with
the Mortgage or with any financing statement. The terms, covenants and
conditions of this Agreement, the Revolving Note and the other Loan Documents
(other than those filed for record) shall be confidential and shall not be
disclosed to any Person by Bank for any purpose other than (1) disclosure to all
regulatory agencies having jurisdiction of the operations of Bank; (2) attorneys
and accountants employed or retained by Bank; (3) prospective participants in
the Loan as contemplated by this Agreement, provided that Bank shall obtain from
such prospective participants a confidentiality agreement whereby such
participants agree not to disclose this Agreement to any other Person other than
as
-60-
specifically permitted hereby; and (4) in connection with the enforcement of
this Agreement following an uncured Event of Default on the part of Borrower.
Borrower may disclose this Agreement or the contents thereof to other Persons as
required in the ordinary course of its business.
(k) Continuing Liability of Borrower for Underlying Obligations.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) Borrower shall remain
liable under its contracts and agreements included in the Collateral to the
extent set forth therein to perform all of Borrower's duties and obligations
thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (2)
the exercise by Bank of any of the rights hereunder shall not release Borrower
from any of its duties or obligations under its contracts and agreements
included in the Collateral, and (3) Bank shall not have any obligation or
liability under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by
reason of this Agreement, nor shall Bank be obligated to perform any of the
obligations or duties of Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or
enforce any claim for payment.
(l) Conflict with Mortgage. In the event of any conflict or
inconsistency between any of the terms or provisions hereof and any of the terms
or provisions of the Mortgage, the terms and provisions of the Mortgage shall
govern and control. All Loan Documents shall be interpreted in a manner so as
not to be inconsistent with each other to the maximum extent possible.
(m) Compliance with Senior Indenture. Bank understands that the Senior
Indenture contains limitations and restrictions with respect to Borrower's
ability to obtain "Bank Facilities" and to grant "Permitted Liens". If the
Collateral Value for the Loan (as a "Bank Facility") shall at any time exceed or
violate the limitations and restrictions contained in the Senior Indenture, Bank
shall promptly, upon written request from Borrower, partially release from the
lien of the Mortgage so much of the Collateral (to be designated by Borrower,
subject to Bank's approval) as may be necessary to enable Borrower to comply
with the applicable limitations and restrictions contained in the Senior
Indenture. Simultaneously with any such partial Mortgage release to be delivered
by Bank pursuant hereto, Borrower shall deliver to Bank its Collateral Value
Certificate certifying the Collateral Value of the Mortgaged Property after
giving effect to such partial release, and any amount necessary to cause the
unpaid principal balance of the Loan to be maintained within the Loan Amount
Limitations provided in Section 3(a)(i).
(n) Attorneys' Fees. If any party to this Agreement retains counsel to
enforce or protect its rights hereunder after a breach by the other party to
this Agreement, including, without limitation, any action of or incidental to
the enforcement of any provision hereof, the Line Advances made hereunder, the
Revolving Note, the Mortgage, or any of the other Loan Documents or the
enforcement, compromise, or settlement of this Agreement, the Revolving Note,
the Mortgage, or any of the other Loan Documents, and for the curing thereof, or
defending or asserting any rights or claims in respect thereof, by litigation or
otherwise, regardless of whether suit may be brought or not, then in any such
event after such breach, the party retaining counsel shall be entitled to
-61-
receive and recover from a breaching party the reasonable attorneys' fees,
paralegals' fees and expenses incurred in negotiations, pre-litigation
conferences or with respect to satisfaction of the Loan, or at trial and on
appeal, including post-judgment collection costs, in successfully enforcing or
protecting or defending its rights hereunder.
