EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 30, 1998
BY AND BETWEEN
NATIONSBANK, N.A.
AND
INTRAV, INC.
In consideration of their mutual agreements herein and for other
sufficient consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,
INTRAV, INC. ("Borrower") and NATIONSBANK, N.A. ("Lender") agree as
follows:
1. DEFINITIONS; SECTION REFERENCES. The term "Original Loan
Agreement" means the Loan Agreement effective October 30, 1998, between
Borrower and Lender, as amended by Amendment Number One thereto
effective January 18, 1999. The term "this Amendment" means this
Amendment. The term Loan Agreement means the Original Loan Agreement as
amended by this Amendment. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings defined in the Loan Agreement.
2. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AMENDMENT. This Amendment will be
effective as of June 15, 1999.
3. AMENDMENTS TO ORIGINAL LOAN AGREEMENT. The Original Loan
Agreement is amended as follows:
3.1. REVOLVING COMMITMENT. Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 of the
Original Loan agreement is replaced entirely with the following:
"3.1.1 ADVANCES. Subject to the limitations in Section
3.1.2 and elsewhere herein, Lender commits to make available
from the Effective Date to the Maturity Date, a revolving
credit facility available as Advances made from time to time
as provided herein. Subject to the limitations in Section
3.1.2 and elsewhere herein, payments and prepayments that
are applied to reduce the Revolving Loan may be re-borrowed.
The amount of the Revolving Commitment initially will be
$32,500,000, but will reduce automatically to a lesser
Dollar amount on certain dates as listed in the table below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective Date of Reduction Reduction New Revolving Commitment
------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 31, 1999 $2,000,000 $30,500,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 31, 2000 $5,000,000 $25,500,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 31, 2001 $5,000,000 $20,500,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 31, 2002 $3,000,000 $17,500,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1
Borrower may also reduce the amount of the Revolving
Commitment in whole multiples of $1,000,000 at any time and
from time to time, but only if (i) Borrower gives Lender
written notice of Borrower's intention to make such
reduction at least one Business Day prior to the effective
date of the reduction, and (ii) Borrower makes on the
effective date of the reduction any payment on the Revolving
Loan required under Section 7.2 as a consequence of the
reduction and any amount that may be due to Lender under
Section 18.4. Any such reduction of the amount of the
Revolving Commitment, whether scheduled or voluntary, shall
be permanent.
3.1.2 LIMITATION ON ADVANCES. No Advance will be made which
would result in the Revolving Loan exceeding the Maximum
Available Amount and no Advance will be made on or after the
Maturity Date. Lender may, however, in its absolute
discretion make such Advances, but shall not be deemed by
doing so to have increased the Maximum Available Amount and
shall not be obligated to make any such Advances thereafter.
At any time that there is an Existing Default, the Revolving
Commitment may be canceled as provided in Section 17.2. The
"Maximum Available Amount" on any date shall be a Dollar
amount equal to (i) the amount of the Revolving Commitment
on such date, minus (ii) the Letter of Credit Exposure
(except to the extent that such Advance will be used
immediately to reimburse Lender for unreimbursed draws on a
Letter of Credit). No Advance will be made which would
cause the ratio of the Revolving Loan to the from time to
time most recently appraised value of the Vessels in which
Lender has a first priority Security Interest to exceed
2/3."
3.2. LETTER OF CREDIT COMMITMENT. The amount of the Letter of
Credit Commitment stated in Section 3.2 of the Original Loan
Agreement is changed from $2,500,000 to $17,500,000.
3.3. SECURITY AND GUARANTIES. The following covenant is added as
Section 14.16A to the Original Loan Agreement:
"14.16A. Borrower covenants and agrees that prior to
October 15, 1999, (i) Borrower shall execute and deliver to
Lender, or cause to be executed and delivered to Lender by
the appropriate Person, ratifications of the existing
guaranties, satisfactory to Lender, by all of the domestic
Subsidiaries of Borrower under which they have guarantied
the timely and full payment and performance of all of the
Loan Obligations, and (ii) Borrower shall execute and
deliver to Lender one or more Security Agreements, or
amendments of existing security agreements, that are
satisfactory to Lender and grant or confirm existing grants
to Lender of Security Interests under the UCC in all stock
held by Borrower of the domestic Subsidiaries of Borrower
and 65% of the outstanding stock of the non-domestic
Subsidiaries of Borrower."
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWER. Borrower hereby

delivery or performance of this Amendment, (iii) this Amendment and the
Loan Agreement as amended hereby constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with
their terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof

affecting the enforceability of creditors rights generally or by equity
principles of general application, (iv) all of the representations and
warranties contained in Section 12 of the Original Loan Agreement are
true and correct in all material respects with the same force and effect

Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Loan
