If and whenever the law of the State of Florida or other applicable law is amended in the future to allow a greater rate of interest to be charged under this Agreement than is presently allowed by applicable law, the limitation of interest hereunder shall be increased to the maximum rate of interest allowed by the applicable law as amended, which increase shall be effective hereunder on the effective date of such amendment. 2.10 INTEREST RATE DETERMINATION. (a) The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by Lender two Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period. (b) Lender shall give prompt notice to Borrower of the applicable interest rate determined by Lender for purposes of SECTION 2.9(a)(i) or (a)(ii). 2.11 INCREASED COSTS. If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, for so long as such increase shall be in effect, Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by Lender, pay to Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submit ted to Borrower by Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. If Borrower so notifies Lender within five Business Days after Lender notifies Borrower of any 24 increased cost pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 2.11, Borrower may either (A) prepay in full all Eurodollar Rate Loans, as the case may be, then outstanding in accordance with SECTION 2.7 and, additionally, reimburse Lender for such increased cost in accordance with this SECTION 2.11 or (B) convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans then outstanding into Prime Rate Loans, in accordance with SECTION 2.8 and, additionally, reimburse Lender for such increased cost in accordance with this SECTION 2.11. 2.12 ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by Lender to Borrower, (i) the obligation of Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Prime Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall terminate and (ii) Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all Eurodollar Rate Loans of Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, unless Borrower, within five Business Days of such notice and demand, converts all Eurodollar Rate Loans then outstanding into Prime Rate Loans. 2.13 CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, (ii) compliance with any law or regulation, or (iii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender and Lender determines that such amount is based upon the existence of Lender's Commitments and the Loans and other commitments and loans of this type including, without limita tion, its commitments in respect of letters of credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender, from time to time as specified by Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that Lender determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Commitments or Loans and its agreements herein with respect to the issuance or maintenance of Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. 2.14 PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS. (a) Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 2:00 P.M. (Miami, Florida time) on the day when due, in Dollars, to Lender at its address referred to in SECTION 9.2 in immediately available funds without 25 set-off or counterclaim. Payment received by Lender after 2:00 P.M. (Miami, Florida time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. (b) Borrower hereby authorizes (A) Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to Lender is not made when due hereunder, to charge from time to time against any or all of Borrower's accounts with Lender any amount so due and, (B) Lender, at its discretion, to treat any amounts due hereunder as having been paid by the proceeds of an additional Revolving Credit Loan. (c) All computations of interest based on the Prime Rate and of fees shall be made by Lender on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination by Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (d) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fee, as the case may be; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. 2.15 TAXES. (a) Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreements shall be made, in accordance with SECTION 2.14, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of Lender, taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including, without limitation, deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION 2.15) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, 26 and (iv) Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence of such payment to the relevant taxation or other authority.

(c) Borrower will indemnify Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this SECTION 2.15) paid by Lender and any liability (including, without limitation, for penalties, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date Lender makes written demand therefor. Such written demand shall include Lender's calculation of such Taxes or Other Taxes, in such detail as may be necessary to illustrate Lender's reasonable calculation thereof; and such calculations shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, Borrower will furnish to Lender, at its address referred to in SECTION 10.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

If Borrower does not pay (either from the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan or otherwise) any such Reimbursement Obligation when due, such Reimbursement Obligation shall immediately constitute, without necessity of further act or evidence, a loan made by Lender to Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Reimbursement Obligation remaining unpaid, payable on demand and computed from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the date of repayment in full thereof at the rate of interest applicable to past due Revolving Credit Loans bearing interest at a rate based on the Prime Rate during such period.

("Lender"). W I T N E S S E T H: WHEREAS, Wackenhut Corrections Corporation, a Florida corporation ("Borrower"), has entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of December 12, 1994 (said Agreement, as it may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time, being the "Credit Agreement", and capitalized terms not defined herein but defined therein being used herein as therein defined); and WHEREAS, Borrower owns beneficially and of record 100% of the capital stock of Guarantor, and Borrower and Guarantor are members of the same consolidated group of companies and are engaged in related businesses, and Guarantor will derive direct and indirect economic benefit from the Loans and Letters of Credit; and WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent under the Credit Agreement to the making of Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit that Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce Lender to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows: SECTION 1. GUARANTY. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of, and the performance of, the Obligations, whether now or hereafter existing and whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, and any and all expenses (including, without limitation, counsel fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty. This Guaranty is an absolute guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. SECTION 2. GUARANTY ABSOLUTE. Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of Lender with respect thereto. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any provision of the Credit Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to any Loan Document, or avoidance or subordination of any of the Obligations; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, or any increase in the amount of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of any term of, or any consent to departure from any requirement of, the Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents; (iii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on any collateral for, or any release or amendment or waiver of any term of any other guaranty of, or any consent to departure from any requirement of any other guaranty of, all or any of the Obligations; (iv) The absence of any attempt to collect any of the Obligations from Borrower or any other guarantor or any other action to enforce the same or the election of any remedy by Lender; (v) any waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by Lender with respect to any provision of the Credit Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document; (vi) the election by Lender in any proceeding under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of the application of section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (vii) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, under section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (viii) the disallowance, under section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims of Lender for payment of any of the Obligations; or (ix) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a borrower or a guarantor. SECTION 3. WAIVER. (a) Guarantor hereby (i) waives (A) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any and all other notices with respect to any of the Obligations or this Guaranty, (B) any requirement that Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest in or other Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against Borrower or any other Person or any collateral, (C) the filing of any claim with a court in the event of receivership or bankruptcy of Borrower, (D) protest or notice with respect to nonpayment of all or any of the Obligations, (E) the benefit of any statute of F-2 limitation, (F) all demands whatsoever (and any requirement that same be made on Borrower as a condition precedent to Guarantor's obligations hereunder); and (ii) covenants and agrees that this Guaranty will not be discharged except by complete payment and performance of the Obligations and any other obligations of Guarantor contained herein. (b) If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including, without limitation, its right to enter a deficiency judgment against Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable law pertaining to "election of remedies" or the like, Guarantor hereby consents to such action by Lender and waives any claim based upon such action. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower shall not impair the obligation of Guarantor to pay the full amount of the Obligations or any other obligation of Guarantor contained herein. (c) In the event Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee's sale or at any private sale permitted by law or under any of the Loan Documents, Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Lender or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the collateral being sold at such sale, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Guaranty, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Lender might otherwise be entitled by reason of such bidding at any such sale. (d) Guarantor agrees that notwithstanding the foregoing and without limiting the generality of the foregoing if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender is prevented by applicable law from exercising its right to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations, to collect interest on the Obligations, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Obligations, Guarantor agrees to pay to Lender, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by Lender. (e) Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of each other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal. Guarantor hereby agrees that Lender shall have no duty to F-3 advise Guarantor of information known to Lender regarding such condition or any such circumstance. In the event that Lender in its sole discretion undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to Guarantor, Lender shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which, pursuant to accepted or reasonable banking or commercial finance practices, Lender wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to Guarantor. (f) Guarantor consents and agrees that Lender shall be under no obligation to marshall any assets in favor of Guarantor or otherwise in connection with obtaining payment of any or all of the Obligations from any Person or source.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made F-6 any demand under this Guaranty and although such obligations may be contingent and unmatured. Lender agrees promptly to notify Guarantor after any such set- off and application made by Lender; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which Lender may have. SECTION 10. CONTINUING GUARANTY; TRANSFER OF NOTES. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (ii) be binding upon Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender and its successors, transferees, and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Note held by it or Obligations owing to it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the rights in respect thereof granted to Lender herein or otherwise with respect to such Note and Obligations so transferred or assigned, subject, however, to compliance with the provisions of Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement in respect of assignments. SECTION 11. LIMITATION OF GUARANTY. Anything to the contrary in this Guaranty notwithstanding, the maximum liability hereunder of Guarantor shall not at any time exceed the greater of (a) the amount of the economic benefit received by Guarantor from the Loans and (b) the highest of (i) 95% of the Adjusted Net Worth of Guarantor at the date hereof, (ii) 95% of Adjusted Net Worth of Guarantor at the date of the commencement of a case under title 11 of the United States Code involving Borrower or Guarantor, and (iii) 95% of the Adjusted Net Worth of Guarantor at the date enforcement hereunder is sought; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if by reason of the foregoing, the Adjusted Net Worth of Guarantor at the date hereof would be the maximum liability of Guarantor hereunder and the outstanding principal amount of and unpaid interest on the Term Loan is less than such maximum liability, Guarantor's maximum liability hereunder shall be equal to (A) the outstanding principal amount of and unpaid interest on the Term Loan plus (B) the excess, if any, of (x) the greatest of the Adjusted Net Worth of Guarantor at the date the last Revolving Credit Loan was made, the Adjusted Net Worth of Guarantor at the date of the commencement of a case under title 11 of the United States Code involving Borrower or Guarantor and the Adjusted Net Worth of Guarantor at the date enforcement hereunder is sought over (Y) the outstanding principal amount of and unpaid interest on the Term Loan. "Adjusted Net Worth" of Guarantor, as of any date of determination thereof, means the excess of (x) the aggregate fair saleable value of the assets of Guarantor as of such date determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws governing determina- F-7 tions of the insolvency of debtors and (y) the amount of all liabilities of Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, as of such date, determined on the basis provided in clause (x) above (but excluding all potential liabilities under this Guaranty). SECTION 12. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY WITH OTHER GUARANTORS; CONTRIBUTION. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be joint and several with all Other Guarantors (as hereinafter defined), each one being liable for the payment and performance of all the Obligations, and it shall not be necessary or required that the Lender commence proceedings against, or enforce any of the provisions of the Loan Documents against, the Guarantor and one or more of the Other Guarantors in order to charge the Guarantor with liability hereunder. To the extent that any Other Guarantor (a "Paying Guarantor") makes a payment of a portion of the Obligations which exceeds the greater of (i) the amount of economic benefit actually received by the Paying Guarantor from the Loan and the Letters of Credit and (ii) the amount which the Paying Guarantor would otherwise have paid if the Paying Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Obligations in the same proportion as the Paying Guarantor's net worth at the date of enforcement of the Obligations against the Paying Guarantor is sought bears to the aggregate net worth of the Guarantor and all the Other Guarantors (including the Paying Guarantor) at such date, THEN, subject to the limitations of Section 11, the Guarantor shall reimburse the Paying Guarantor for the amount of such excess, PRO RATA based on the respective net worths of the Guarantor and all Other Guarantors (including the Paying Guarantor). As used herein, the term "Other Guarantors" shall mean all other guarantors of the Obligations whose guarantees contain a provision in substance the same as this section. SECTION 13. REINSTATEMENT. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Loan Party for liquidation or reorganization, should any Loan Party become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Loan Party's assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations or such part thereof, whether as a "voidable preference", "fraudulent transfer", or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. F-8 SECTION 14. GOVERNING LAW. This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof. Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Guaranty. SECTION 15. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL. (a) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty or any document related thereto may be brought in the courts of the State of Florida or the United States of America for the Southern District of Florida, and, by execution and delivery of this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of FORUM NON CONVENIENS, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions and consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by the court. (b) Guarantor irrevocably consents to the service of process of any of the aforesaid courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Guarantor at its address provided herein, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing. (c) Nothing contained in this Section 15 shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against Guarantor or any of Guarantor's property in any other jurisdiction. SECTION 16. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. GUARANTOR WAIVES, AND BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY LENDER WAIVES, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, VERBAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENT OR OTHER ACTION OF ANY LOAN PARTY. SECTION 17. SECTION TITLES. The Section titles contained in this Guaranty are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of this Guaranty. F-9 SECTION 18. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Guaranty.

All references herein to Borrower or to Guarantor shall include their respective successors and assigns, including, without limitation, a receiver, trustee or debtor-in-possession of or for Borrower or Guarantor. All references to the singular shall be deemed to include the plural where the context so requires.

EXHIBIT I [Form of Opinion of Messrs. Akerman Senterfitt & Eidson, P.A.] [Closing Date] Barnett Bank of South Florida, N.A. 701 Brickell Avenue Miami, Florida 33131 Re: Wackenhut Corrections Corporation --------------------------------- Gentlemen: This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.1(g) of the Credit Agreement, dated as of _______________, 1994 (the "Credit Agreement") between Wackenhut Corrections Corporation (the "Borrower") and Barnett Bank of South Florida, N.A., as Lender. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined. We have acted as counsel for the Borrower, The Wackenhut Corporation, a Florida corporation ("Parent") and [names of other Loan Parties] (collectively the "Loan Parties" and individually a "Loan Party") in connection with the preparation, authorization, execution and delivery of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Loan Documents and in connection with the Loans made [and Letters of Credit issued] on the Closing Date under the Credit Agreement. In that connection we have examined: (i) an executed copy of the Credit Agreement; (ii) an executed copy of the Revolving Credit Note and the Term Note; (iii) an executed copy of each Subsidiary Guaranty; (iv) the Registration Statement; (v) the articles or certificates of incorporation of each Loan Party as in effect on the date hereof (collectively the "Charters"); (vi) the by-laws of each Loan Party as in effect on the date hereof (collectively the "By-laws"); (vii) the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement; Barnett Bank of South Florida, N.A. ____________, 1994 Page 2 (viii) certificates of the Secretary of State of the State of Florida, dated ________________, 1994, attesting to the continued corporate existence and good standing of the Borrower and the Parent in that State; and (ix) [add references to local counsel opinions and comparable good standing certificates of Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor]. We have also examined the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records of the Loan Parties, certificates of public officials and of officers of the Loan Parties, and agreements, instruments and documents, as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. As to questions of fact material to the opinion rendered herein, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established by us, relied upon representations and warranties as to facts (but not legal conclusions) of the Loan Parties contained in the Loan Documents and certificates of the Loan Parties or their respective officers or public officials. We have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the Credit Agreement by the Lender. This opinion has been prepared and is to be construed in accordance with the Report on Standards For Florida Opinions dated April 8, 1991 issued by the Business Law Section of The Florida Bar (the "Report"). The Report is incorporated by reference into this opinion. We do not express any opinion concerning any law other than the law of the State of Florida and the Federal law of the United States. Base on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations stated in this opinion letter and in the Report, we are of the opinion that: 1. Borrower (i) is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation and its status is active; (ii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its activities requires such qualification; and (iii) has all requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business and to execute and deliver each Loan Document to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. Each Subsidiary Guarantor (i) is a corporation duly organized and Barnett Bank of South Florida, N.A. ____________, 1994 Page 3 validly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation and its status is active and (ii) has all requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business and to execute and deliver each Loan Document to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. 2. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transaction contemplated therein, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not (i) contravene its Charter or By-laws, (ii) conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any Requirement of Law (including, without limitation, Regulations G, T, U and X of the Federal Reserve Board), or any judgment, writ, injunction, decree, order or ruling of any Governmental Authority of which we have knowledge, (iii) to our knowledge, conflict with or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the termination of, any Contractual Obligation or require the consent or approval of any Person that has not been obtained, or (iv) to our knowledge, result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the property of such Loan Party. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party which is a party thereto. 3. No authorization, license, consent, permit, waiver, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing or registration with, any governmental body, agency, authority, regulatory body or any other Person, is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of any Loan Document to which it is a party. 4. Each Loan Document to which a Loan Party is a party is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms. 5. To our knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action or proceeding against or affecting any Loan Party before any Governmental Authority which, if adversely determined, is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or which purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any Loan Document. 6. To our knowledge, there are no Liens of any nature whatsoever on any properties of the Borrower other than those permitted by Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement. To our knowledge, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party Barnett Bank of South Florida, N.A. ____________, 1994 Page 4 to any Contractual Obligation the performance of which by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, either unconditionally or upon the happening of an event, will result in the creation of any Lien on the property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. 7. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an "investment company" or an "affiliated person" of, or "promoter" or "principal underwriter" for, an "investment company", as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The making of the Loans by the Lender, the application of the proceeds and repayment thereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will not violate any provision of such Act or any rule, regulation or order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. LIMITATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS A. Our opinion No. 4 above concerning the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Loan Documents means that (i) each of the Loan Documents constitutes an effective contract under applicable law, (ii) none of the Loan Documents is invalid in its entirety because of a specific statutory prohibition or public policy nor is any of them subject in its entirety to a contractual defense, and (iii) subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, some remedy is available if a Loan Party is in material default under any of the Loan Documents. This opinion does not mean that (a) any particular remedy is available upon a material default, or (b) every provision of the Loan Documents will be upheld or enforced in any or each circumstance by a court. Furthermore, the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Loan Documents may be limited or otherwise affected by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar statues, rules, regulations or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies generally and (b) the unavailability of, or limitation on the availability of, a particular right or remedy (whether in a proceeding in equity or at law) because of an equitable principle or a requirement at to commercial reasonableness, conscienability or good faith. Barnett Bank of South Florida, N.A. ____________, 1994 Page 5 B. We express no opinion as to Section 9.5 of the Credit Agreement insofar as it authorizes the Lender to set off and apply any deposits at any time held, and any other indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender to or for the account of the Borrower.
