WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lender amend the Agreement to, among other things, consolidate the credit facility provided thereunder and extend the Maturity Date; and
WHEREAS, the Lender is willing to so amend the Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Incorporation of Defined Terms. Each capitalized term used in this Amendment but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Agreement.
2. Amendment.

(b) Sections 2.01(a)(i) and (ii) are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
(i) The Lender agrees to make advances (Advances) to the Borrower from time to time during the period from the date hereof to and including the Maturity Date or the earlier date of termination under Section 6.02
(such earlier date being the Termination Date) in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time and from time to time outstanding the principal amount of Fifty-Eight Million Dollars (U.S. $58,000,000.00). Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow (a Borrowing), repay, and reborrow under this Section 2.01; provided, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the outstanding balance under the Advances, including Advances for the purposes of issuing L/Cs (as defined below), never exceeds $58,000,000.00. As a sublimit under the Advances, and in so far as the Borrower may from time to time request and the Lender may be willing, in its discretion, the Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, issue documentary and/or standby letters of credit (the L/Cs) for the account of the Borrower. The issuance of an L/C shall be regarded as, and subject to the conditions applicable to, an Advance, and the face amount of each then issued and outstanding L/C as well as the amount of each then unreimbursed draft presented for payment against an L/C shall each be treated as an outstanding Advance, and shall be reserved under the Line and shall not be available for advances thereunder.
(ii) Prior to each and every request for the issuance of an L/C, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender any and all agreements and documents which the Lender may require, including, without limitation, the Lenders standard form of application for letter of credit. The maximum amount of all open L/Cs and unreimbursed drafts which have been presented for payment against the L/Cs shall not, at any one time, exceed the aggregate amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00). Each draft or other demand for payment paid by Lender under an L/C shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) The reference in the heading of Section 2.0l(c)(i) to First Line shall be replaced with Revolver Note. All references in Section 2.01(c)(i) to Revolver Note evidencing the First Line shall be replaced with Revolver Note.
(d) Section 2.01 (c)(ii) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with Intentionally Omitted.
(e) The reference in Section 2.0 l(e) to Revolver Note evidencing the First Line shall be replaced with Revolver Note.
(f) Section 2.01(f) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with
Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Advances shall be used by Borrower for general corporate purposes, to finance working capital and capital acquisition and to fund the issuance of the L/Cs, subject to the limitations of this Agreement.
2
(g) The references to either Note in Section 2.02 and 2.03 of the Agreement shall be replaced with the Note.
(h) Section 2.04 of the Agreement shall be deleted in it entirety and replaced with:
Unused Line Fee/Letter of Credit Fee. Borrower shall pay to the Lender quarterly an unused line fee at a rate equal to [one eighth of one percent (1/8%)] per annum calculated by the Lender upon the amount by which $58,000,000 exceeds the average daily principal balance of Advances outstanding under the Note during the immediately preceding fiscal quarter (or part thereof) while this Agreement is in effect and for so long thereafter as any Indebtedness is outstanding under the Note, which fee shall be payable on the first day of each quarter in arrears. Borrower shall pay to Lender an issuance fee for each L/C equal to one percent (1%) per annum of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each such L/C.
(i) Schedule 1 referenced in Section 4.01(f) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the attached revised Schedule 1.
(j) The words December 31, 2002, of $55,210,588 in Section 5.01(f) of the Agreement shall be modified to read June 30, 2005, of $79,826,000.
(k) The phrase each month as appears in Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement shall be replaced with each quarter. Lender hereby waives any Event of Default that resulted from Borrowers non-compliance with Section 5.02(c) prior to the date hereof. This waiver is a waiver of the specific events of non-compliance enumerated herein only and is not, nor should it be construed to be, a waiver of any other event of non-compliance or existing or future Events of Default, whether or not similar to that enumerated herein.
3. Waivers. As has been previously disclosed to Lender, Borrower recently discovered that over the course of several years, certain employees misappropriated significant amounts of Borrowers funds. As a result, Borrower was not able to timely deliver its audited financial statements for fiscal year 2004 and thus is in default under Section 5.02(a) of the Agreement. Further, Borrower has informed Lender that as a result of such misappropriation of funds, Borrower will be required to file amended tax returns for the years ended , and . In accordance therewith, Lender hereby waives the defaults set forth in this Section_3 so long as: (i) Borrower delivers its audited 2004 financial statements as soon as they are available, but in no event later than April 30, 2006, (ii) Borrower delivers such amended tax returns to Lender as soon as same are available, and (iii) no other default or Event of Default shall occur. The waiver set forth herein is a waiver of the specific events of non-compliance enumerated herein only and is not, nor should it be construed to be, a waiver of any other event of non-compliance, whether or not similar to those enumerated herein.
3
4. Disposition of Assets. Lender further acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower has formed Seminole Development II, Inc., a Florida corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary (Seminole), for the sole purpose of holding assets recovered from the employees who misappropriated Borrowers funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, Lender hereby agrees that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Seminole may dispose of such recovered assets, free and clear of any lien in favor of Lender, in a commercially reasonable matter and so long as the proceeds thereof are used solely to recoup the misappropriated funds.
