certain Credit Agreement dated as of December 20, 2001, as amended by the First
Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of March 7,2002 (the "Credit Agreement")

Majority Lenders consented to the Miami Real Property Purchase prior to

constitute Permitted Stock Repurchases.
D. The Loan Parties have proposed that the Credit Agreement be amended
to permit the Parent to provide certain unsecured agreements of Guaranty in an
amount not exceeding $15,000,000 at any time outstanding.
E. The Loan Parties and the undersigned Lenders wish to amend certain
provisions of the Credit Agreement as provided hereinbelow.
