secured interest, and Debtor shall pay all fees and costs associated therewith.
 
5.           Debtor’s Covenants.  Until full payment and performance of all of

be written for the benefit of Debtor and Lender as their interests may appear,
payable to Lender as an additional insured, or in other form satisfactory to
Lender, and such policies or certificates evidencing the same shall be furnished

i.           Accounts and Deposit Accounts.  Each account held as Collateral
will represent the valid and legally enforceable obligation of third parties and

or electronic paper, Debtor will undertake the necessary steps to insure
Lender’s control over such Collateral as required by Article Nine.
 
j.           Notice/Location of the Collateral.  Debtor shall give Lender
written notice of each office of Debtor in which records of Debtor pertaining to
accounts held as Collateral are kept, and each location at which the Collateral

the Collateral shall be kept at the Florida address of Debtor set forth above.
 
k.           Change of Name/Status and Notice of Changes.  Without the written

environmental laws applicable to it or any of its property, business operations
and transactions.
 
6.           Default.
 
a.           Event of Default. A default under this Agreement shall occur
if:  (i) there is a loss, theft, damage or destruction of any material portion
of the Collateral for which there is no insurance coverage or for which, in the
reasonable opinion of Lender, there is insufficient insurance
coverage;  (ii)  there is a levy upon or execution against any of the
Collateral; or (iii)  Debtor shall fail to timely and properly pay or observe,
keep or perform any term, covenant, agreement or condition in this Agreement or
in any other agreement between a Debtor and Lender, including, but not limited
to, any Note, the Loan Agreement, any Rate Management Agreement, any Security
Instrument, any certificate, assignment, instrument, document or other Loan
Document concerning or related to the Obligations and any applicable notice and
cure periods have passed.
 
b.           Rights and Remedies.  If any default shall occur under this
Agreement, then, in each and every such case, at any time thereafter, Lender,
without further:  (i) presentment, demand, or protest; (ii) notice of default,
dishonor, demand, non-payment, or protest; (iii) notice of intent to accelerate
all or any part of the Obligations; (iv) notice of acceleration of all or any
part of the Obligations; or notice of any other kind; all of which Debtor hereby
expressly waives, (except for any notice required under this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or applicable law),
 may exercise and/or enforce any of the following rights and remedies at
Lender’s option:
 
i.
Acceleration. Declare the Obligations to become immediately due and payable, and

immediately cease and terminate.

instruct any agent or broker to sell or otherwise dispose of, all or any part of

part of the Collateral to make any payments otherwise due to Debtor directly to

Security Agreement in Favor of Fifth Third Bank
Page 6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
 
 
(c) in Lender’s own name, or in the name of Debtor, demand, collect, receive,
sue for, and give receipts and releases for, any and all amounts due under such
accounts and contract rights. Lender shall not be liable for failure to collect
any account or instruments, or for any act or omission on the part of Lender,
its officers, agents or employees, except for its or their own willful
misconduct or gross negligence;

 
(d) indorse, as the agent of Debtor, any check, note, chattel paper, documents,
or instruments forming all or any part of the Collateral;

 
(e) make formal application for transfer to Lender (or to any assignee of Lender
or to any purchaser of any of the Collateral) of all of Debtor’s permits,
licenses, approvals, agreements, leases, contracts and the like relating to the
Collateral or to Debtor’s business;

 
(f) If Debtor fails to maintain any required insurance, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, Lender may (but is not obligated to) purchase single interest
insurance coverage for the Collateral which insurance may at Lender’s
option:   (i) protect only Lender and not provide any remuneration or protection
for Debtor directly; and (ii) provide coverage only after the Obligations have
been declared due as herein provided.  The premiums for any such insurance
purchased by Lender shall be a part of the Obligations and shall bear interest
at the Default Rate.

 
(g) Make any claim under any insurance policy or cancel such insurance, and
collect and receive payment and indorse any instrument in payment of loss or
return premium or other refund or return, and apply such amounts received, at
Lender’s election, to replacement of Collateral or to the Obligations.

 
(h)  take any other action which Lender deems necessary or desirable to protect
and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral; and

 
(i) in addition to the foregoing, and not in substitution therefore, exercise
any one or more of the rights and remedies exercisable by Lender under any other
provision of this Agreement, under any of the other Loan Documents, or as
provided by applicable law (including, without limitation, Article Nine).  In
taking possession of the Collateral Lender may enter any Place of Business of
Debtor and otherwise proceed without legal process, if this can be done without
breach of the peace.  Debtor shall, upon Lender’s demand, promptly make the
Collateral or other security available to Lender at a place designated by Lender
in the County where Debtor’s Principal Place of Business is located.  Debtor
appoints Lender, and any officer thereof, as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact with full
power in Debtor’s name and behalf to do every act which Debtor is obligated to
do or may be required to do hereunder; however, nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to obligate Lender to take any action hereunder nor shall Lender be
liable to Debtor for failure to take any action hereunder.  This appointment
shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and shall not be terminable as
long as the Obligations are outstanding.
 
Lender shall not be liable for, nor be prejudiced by, any loss, depreciation or
other damages to the Collateral, unless caused by Lender’s willful and malicious
act.  Lender shall have no duty to take any action to preserve or collect the
Collateral.

 
Security Agreement in Favor of Fifth Third Bank

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
iii.
Receiver.  Obtain the appointment of a receiver for all or any of the
Collateral, and Debtor hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver as
a matter of right, without regard to the value of the Collateral or the solvency
of Debtor and without prior notice and Debtor agrees not to oppose any such
appointment.

iv.
Right of Set Off.  Without notice or demand to Debtor, set off and apply against
any and all of the Obligations any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) and any other indebtedness, at any time held or
owing by Lender to or for the credit of the account of Debtor.

v.
Books and Records.  Take immediate possession of all books and records
evidencing any Collateral or pertaining to chattel paper covered by this
Agreement and it or its representatives shall have the authority to enter upon
any Place of Business upon which any of the same, or any Collateral, may be
situated and remove the same therefrom without liability.

vi.
Insurance.  Surrender any insurance policies on the Collateral and receive the
unearned premium thereon.  Debtor shall be entitled to any surplus and shall be
liable to Lender for any deficiency.  The proceeds of any disposition after
default available to satisfy the Obligation may, at Lender’s option, be applied
to the Obligations first to late fees and Costs, then to interest on the Note,
followed by application to principal on the Note.

 
c.           Disposition of Collateral.  Debtor specifically acknowledges and
agrees that any sale by Lender of all or part of the Collateral pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement may be effected by Lender at times and in manners which
could result in the proceeds of such sale as being significantly and materially
less than might have been received if such sale had occurred at different times
or in different manners, and Debtor hereby releases Lender and its officers and
representatives from and against any and all obligations and liabilities arising
out of or related to the timing or manner of any such sale.
 
If, in the opinion of Lender, there is any question that a public sale or
distribution of any Collateral will violate any state or federal securities law,
Lender may offer and sell such Collateral in a transaction exempt from
registration under federal securities law, and any such sale made in good faith
by Lender shall be deemed “commercially reasonable”.
 
Lender shall have no obligation to cleanup or otherwise prepare any Collateral
for sale.
 
Lender’s compliance with applicable state or federal law requirements in
connection with a disposition of the Collateral shall not be considered to
adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
 
Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like upon
disposition of any Collateral.   The disclaimer of any warranty of title shall
not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale
of the Collateral.
 
If Lender sells any Collateral upon credit, Debtor shall be credited only with
the payments actually made by the purchaser thereof, and actually received by
the Lender and applied to the obligations of such purchaser.  In the event the
purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and
Debtor shall be credited only with the net proceeds of such sale.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Debtor,
including Debtor, or against or payment of: (i) any Note; (ii) any of the other
Obligations, or (iii) any other obligation owed to Lender by Debtor.
 
7.           General.
 
a.           Parties Bound.  Lender’s rights hereunder shall inure to the
benefit of its successors and assigns.  In the event of any assignment or
transfer by Lender of any of the Obligations or the Collateral, Lender
thereafter shall be fully discharged from any responsibility with respect to the
Collateral so assigned or transferred, but Lender shall retain all rights and
powers hereby given with respect to any of the Obligations or the Collateral not
so assigned or transferred.  All representations, warranties and agreements of
Debtor shall be binding upon the personal representatives, heirs, successors and
assigns of Debtor.
 
b.           Waiver.  No delay of Lender in exercising any power or right shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other power or right.  No waiver by Lender of any right hereunder or of any
default by Debtor shall be binding upon Lender unless in writing, and no failure
by Lender to exercise any power or right hereunder or waiver of any default by
Debtor shall operate as a waiver of any other or further exercise of such right
or power or of any further default.  Each right, power and remedy of Lender as
provided for herein or in any of the Loan Documents, or which shall now or
hereafter exist at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, shall be
cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right,
power or remedy.  The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Lender of any one
or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous
or later exercise by Lender of any or all other such rights, powers or remedies.
 
Security Agreement in Favor of Fifth Third Bank

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
c.           Agreement Continuing.  This Agreement shall constitute a continuing
agreement, applying to all future as well as existing transactions, whether or
not of the character contemplated at the date of this Agreement, and if all
transactions between Lender and Debtor shall be closed at any time, shall be
equally applicable to any new transactions thereafter.
 
d.           Waiver of Jury Trial.  Debtor hereby waives its rights to a jury
trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, and/or the transactions contemplated by this
agreement, or any dealings between Debtor and Lender.
 
e.           Notices.  Notice shall be deemed reasonable if mailed postage
prepaid at least five (5) days before the related action (or if Article Nine
elsewhere specifies a longer period, such longer period) to the address of
Debtor listed in the Loan Agreement in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
 
f.           Modifications.  No provision hereof shall be modified or limited
except by a written agreement expressly referring hereto and to the provisions
so modified or limited and signed by Debtors and Lender.  The provisions of this
Agreement shall not be modified or limited by course of conduct or usage of
trade.
 
g.           Applicable Law and Partial Invalidity.  This Agreement has been
delivered in the State of Florida and shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of that State even if Collateral is located outside the jurisdiction of the
State of Florida. Wherever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions
or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of any Loan Document to any person or
circumstance shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision
as it may apply to other persons or circumstances.
 
h.           Financing Statement.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, a
carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing
statement covering the Collateral shall be sufficient as a financing statement.
 
i           Attorney Fees.  Should any litigation be commenced between the
parties hereto concerning the provisions of this Agreement or the rights and
duties of any in relation thereto, the party prevailing in such litigation shall
be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to a reasonable
sum as and for its attorneys’ fees in such litigation which shall be determined
by the court in such litigation or in a separate action brought for that purpose
and such attorneys’ fees shall be deemed to include the right to a separate
award for paralegal or legal assistant’s fees.
