"Original Note");
WHEREAS, On or prior to the Amendment Date, Lender purchased or otherwise
acquired from certain Original Note Holders all of their respective rights,
titles and interests in certain Original Notes (collectively, the "Notes" and
each individually, a "Note"), the Credit Agreement, all other loan documents and
security documents related thereto (collectively, the "Loan Documents") and the
collateral securing the Notes; and
WHEREAS, Borrower has requested and, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Amendment, Lender has agreed, to extend the maturity of the indebtedness,
liabilities and obligations (the "Indebtedness") evidenced by the Notes and the
other Loan Documents to September 30, 2002.
NOW, THEREFORE, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.
2. Reaffirmation of Indebtedness. Borrower and Lender hereby acknowledge
and confirm that: (a) the outstanding principal balance of and accrued interest
on the Indebtedness as of the Amendment Date is $11,791,241.94, (b) Borrower's
obligation to repay the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of
each Note and all other Indebtedness is unconditional and not subject to any
offsets, defenses or counterclaims, and (c) by entering into this Amendment,
Lender does not waive or release any term or condition of the Notes or the other
Loan Documents or any of its rights or remedies under such Loan Documents, or
applicable law, except as set forth herein.
3. Interest. Effective as of September 30, 2000, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in the Notes or the other Loan Documents, the interest
on the unpaid principal of the Indebtedness is hereby amended to accrue at the
rate of eleven percent (11%) per annum until all of the Indebtedness (including,
without limitation, principal and interest) is indefeasibly paid in full.
4. Payment of Principal and Interest on the Indebtedness. Effective as of
September 30, 2000, each of the Notes and the other Loan Documents is hereby
amended to extend the maturity date of the Indebtedness (regardless of the
stated date of the maturity of the Indebtedness for such Note or Loan
Page 1
Document) to September 30, 2002, at which time all Indebtedness (including,
without limitation, principal and interest) shall be due and payable in full.
5. Reinstatement of Notes 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 Default
or Event of Default or any other default or event of default that has occurred
and is continuing under any of the Notes or the other Loan Documents hereby
agrees to take no action with respect to any such Default or Event of Default or
any other default or event of default that has occurred and is continuing under
any of the Notes or the other Loan Documents which heretofore has occurred.
Borrower and Lender hereby agree that the Notes and the Loan Documents are fully
reinstated in accordance with their terms and conditions, as amended, by this
Amendment, as if no Default or Event of Default or any other default or event of
default that has occurred and is continuing under any of the Notes or the other
Loan Documents had occurred in the payment of the Indebtedness prior to the date
of this Agreement. 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 Credit Agreement) any and all commitments of Lender to advance
funds or issue letters of credit to, or on behalf of, Borrower are hereby
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
Notes and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and
such Notes and other Loan Documents 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 Notes 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
deliver

in connection herewith, and (iii) to carry out and comply with the terms of the
Notes and the other Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment; (c) the Notes

upon the execution and delivery of this Amendment will continue to constitute,
the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable in accordance
with their terms; (f) Borrower is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the
Collateral; and (g) neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein nor compliance by Borrower
with the provisions of the Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment, will
conflict with or 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.
