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

                      Dated as of March 2, 1998

     For good and valuable consideration, (a) PRECISION RESPONSE CORPORATION, a
Florida corporation (the "Borrower"), (b) NATIONSBANK, N.A., a national banking
association ("NationsBank"), and the other Banks as defined herein, and (c)
NATIONSBANK, N.A., in its capacity as agent for the Banks (the "Agent"), hereby
agree as follows:

Section 1. DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

     Section 1.01   Definitions.

          (a)  Capitalized Terms.  For the purposes of this Agreement:

     "Accumulated Funding Deficiency" has the meaning ascribed to that term in
Section 302 of ERISA.

     "Acquisition" means the acquisition of (i) a controlling equity interest in
another Person (including the purchase of an option, warrant or convertible or
similar type security to acquire such a controlling interest at the time it
becomes exercisable by the holder thereof), whether by purchase of such equity
interest or upon exercise of an option or warrant for, or conversion of
securities into, such equity interest, or (ii) assets of another Person which
constitute all or substantially all of the assets of such Person or of a line or
lines of business conducted by such Person.

     "Adjusted LIBOR Rate" means for any Interest Period a rate per annum
(rounded upward to the next higher 1/100th of 1.00%) equal to the rate obtained
by dividing (a) the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period by (b) a percentage
equal to one minus the Reserve Requirement in effect from time to time during
such Interest Period.

     "Affiliate" means any Person (i) which directly or indirectly through one
or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with, the Borrower; or (ii) which beneficially owns or holds 10% or more of the
aggregate voting rights for all of the Borrower's classes of outstanding Voting
Stock (or in the case of a Person which is not a corporation, 10% or more of the
aggregate voting rights of such Person) of the Borrower; or 10% or more of any
class of the outstanding Voting Stock (or in the case of a Person which is not a
corporation, 10% or more of the aggregate voting rights of such Person) of which
is beneficially owned or held by the Borrower. The term "control" means the
possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the
direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through ownership
of Voting Stock, by contract or otherwise.

     "Agent's Office" means the office of the Agent at 100 S.E. 2nd Street, 15th
Floor, Miami, Florida 33131; Attention: Charles E. Porter, Senior Vice
President, or such other office or address as the Agent may designate from time
to time.

     "Agreement" means this Agreement, as amended in writing from time to time.

     "Agreement Date" means the date as of which this Agreement is dated.

     "Agreement Termination Date" means the date on which the Credit Termination
Date shall have occurred and the Borrower shall have fully, finally and
irrevocably paid and satisfied all Obligations.

     "Alternate Base Rate" means the per annum rate of interest equal to the
greater of (i) the Prime Rate and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus one-half of
one percent (.50%). Any change in the Alternate Base Rate resulting from a
change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall become effective as of
12:01 a.m. of the Business Day on which such change occurs. The Alternate Base
Rate is a reference rate used by Agent in determining interest rates on certain
loans and is not intended or represented to be the lowest rate of interest
charged on any extension of credit to any debtor.

     "Alternate Base Rate Loan" means a Loan the interest on which is, or is to
be, as the context may require, computed on the basis of the Alternate Base
Rate.

     "Applicable Law" means (i) all applicable common law and principles of
equity and (ii) all applicable provisions of all (A) constitutions, statutes,
rules, regulations and orders of Governmental Authorities, (B) Governmental
Approvals and (C) orders, decisions, judgments and decrees of all courts and
arbitrators.

     "Authorized Representative" means any of the President, the Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer of the Borrower or, with
respect to financial matters, the Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer of the
Borrower, or any other Person expressly designated by the Board of Directors of

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

Date to the first LIBOR Margin Adjustment Date, the LIBOR Margin shall be 1.25%.
Nothing herein shall be construed to permit the Borrower to permit the ratio of

Section 2. COMMITMENTS; FUNDING AND REPAYMENT OF LOANS

     Section 2.01 Commitments. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein, from the Agreement Date to but excluding the Credit Termination
Date, each of the Banks severally, and not jointly, agrees to make Loans. The
aggregate unpaid principal amount of any Bank's Loans shall not exceed at any
time such Bank's Commitment. Moreover, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
all Loans shall not exceed at any time the lesser of (a) the Total Commitment at
that time and (b) the Borrowing Base at that time.

     Section 2.02 Amounts and Types. Each Loan by a Bank shall be in an amount
equal to its Proportionate Share of a Borrowing. On any Business Day, the Loans
comprising a single Borrowing, at the option of the Borrower, may be made as, or
may from time to time be converted into, Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate
Loans, or any combination thereof (provided that the proportion of the principal
amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan held by each Bank to the proportion of each
such Alternate Base Rate Loan held by such Bank shall be the same as for each
other Bank); provided, that LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted only on the last
day of an applicable Interest Period and no conversions to LIBOR Rate Loans
shall be made so long as a Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Each
Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum amount of
$1,000,000 and in greater whole multiples of $100,000, and each Borrowing of
LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $2,000,000 and in greater whole
multiples of $100,000.

     Section 2.03   Manner of Borrowings and Fundings.

          (a) Borrowing Notice; Funding. Whenever Borrower wishes to incur a
Borrowing or to convert a Borrowing consisting of Alternate Base Rate Loans into
a Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans or vice versa, an Authorized
Representative shall give the Agent notice of such Borrowing in a form approved
by the Agent (a "Borrowing Notice") in the case of the incurrence of or
conversion into a Alternate Base Rate Loan, one Business Day, and, in the case
of the incurrence of or conversion into a LIBOR Rate Loan, three Business Days
before the requested date of such Borrowing, specifying (a) the requested date
of the Borrowing, (b) the amount of the Borrowing to be incurred or converted
into, (c) whether the Borrowing to be incurred or converted into is to consist
of Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, and (d) in the case of the
incurrence of, or conversion into, a Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans,
the duration of the initial Interest Period; provided, however, that if a
Borrowing Notice for the incurrence of Loans fails to specify whether the
Borrowing is to consist of Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, it
shall be deemed to specify Alternate Base Rate Loans. If a request for the
conversion of Loans of one Type into a Borrowing consisting of Loans of another
Type is not made in accordance with this Section 2.03, such Borrowing shall be
converted into a Borrowing consisting of Alternate Base Rate Loans. Any
Borrowing Notice received after noon (Miami time) shall be deemed received on
the following Business Day. After receiving a Borrowing Notice, the Agent shall
notify each Bank promptly, by telefax or by telephone confirmed by telefax, of
the contents of such Borrowing Notice, of such Bank's Proportionate Share of
such Borrowing and, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans,
of the applicable initial Interest Period. Prior to 2:00 p.m. (Miami time) on
the Business Day requested for such Borrowing, each Bank shall make available to
the Agent, at the




                                       20

<PAGE>   27

Agent's Office, its Proportionate Share of such Borrowing in lawful money of the
United States of America and same day funds. The Agent shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3, on such day credit the
amounts so received by it in like funds to the Borrower's Account (provided that
the amounts so received in respect of the initial Borrowing shall be used to
repay indebtedness owed by the Borrower to Heller Financial, Inc.). A Borrowing
Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable.

          (b) Agent May Assume Funding. Unless the Agent shall have received
notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not
make available to the Agent such Bank's Proportionate Share of such Borrowing,
the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to the Agent
on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with section2.03(a) and the Agent
may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make
available on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such
Bank shall not have so made such Proportionate Share available to the Agent,
such Bank shall pay to the Agent, forthwith on demand, such corresponding amount
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at
the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall pay to the Agent such corresponding
amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Bank's Loan as part of such
Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If such Bank shall fail to pay such
corresponding amount upon such demand, the Borrower shall, within 10 Business
Days after demand, repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, together with
interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the rate applicable
to Alternate Base Rate Loans. The foregoing payment by the Borrower to Agent
shall not release or relieve such Bank from its failure to make such Bank's
Proportionate Share of such Borrowing or constitute a waiver of any claim which
Borrower or Agent may have as against the Bank arising from such failure.

          (c) Banks' Obligations Independent. The failure of any Bank to make a
Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank
of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but
no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Loan
to be made by such other Bank on the date of any Borrowing.

     Section 2.04 Addition of Banks. At any time and from time to time after the
date hereof, the Agent and the Borrower may arrange to have one or more Persons
become Banks, provided that the aggregate of the Commitments of all such Persons
shall not exceed $15,000,000.

 A Person shall

become a Bank upon its execution of a signature page to this Agreement (in
whatever number of counterparts the Agent directs) in the form of Exhibit L with
appropriate insertions indicating such Person's name, its Lending Office (which
must be located in the United States) and its Commitment, the Borrower's
execution and delivery to such Person of a Note in the form of Exhibit D in a
principal amount of such Person's Commitment and otherwise appropriately
completed and of a Tax Indemnity Agreement in the form of Exhibit J and
otherwise satisfactory in form and content to the Agent and such Person, and the
Borrower's delivery to the Agent of a supplement to the opinion of counsel
referred to in Section 3.01(d) that covers the Note and is otherwise in form and
content satisfactory to the Agent and such Person. The execution by Borrower of
the Note and the Loan Documents and delivery to the Bank(s ) shall be done
outside the State of Florida. Immediately after any Person or Persons become
Banks after the date hereof, each of the Banks (including such Person or
Persons)





                                       21

<PAGE>   28

shall make a Loan (each a "Refinancing Loan") in an amount equal to its
Proportionate Share of the aggregate principal amount of and accrued interest on
the Loans then outstanding (the "Pre-existing Loans"); and the proceeds of such
Refinancing Loans shall be disbursed pro rata by the Agent to the Banks that
were Banks before such Person or Persons became Banks in satisfaction of such
Preexisting Loans.

     Section 2.05   Interest on Loans.

                    (a) Interest Rates. Each Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof until due at a rate per annum equal to, (i)
so long as it is an Alternate Base Rate Loan, the Alternate Base Rate as in
effect from time to time, and (ii) so long as it is a LIBOR Rate Loan, the
applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the applicable LIBOR Margin.

                    (b) Post-Default Interest. If all or any part of a Loan is
not paid when due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise),
and/or after the occurrence of an Event of Default at the option of Agent, such
unpaid amount shall bear interest for each day during the period from the date
such amount became so due until it is paid in full (whether before or after
judgment) at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate.

                    (c) Time of Payment. Interest with respect to each Loan
shall be due and payable in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates for such Loan
and when such Loan shall be due (whether at maturity, by reason of prepayment or
acceleration, or otherwise). Interest at the Post-Default Rate on each Loan
shall be due and payable on demand.

                    (d) Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained in this
Agreement or any Note shall require the Borrower or any Guarantor to pay
interest at a rate exceeding the Maximum Permissible Rate. If, but for this
section 2.05(d), the Borrower would be deemed obligated to pay interest at a
rate which exceeds the Maximum Permissible Rate, or, if any of the Obligations
are paid or become payable before its originally scheduled maturity and as a
result the Borrower has paid or would be obligated to pay interest at such an
excessive rate, then (i) the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay interest to
the extent it exceeds the Maximum Permissible Rate; (ii) if the outstanding
Obligations have not been accelerated as provided in section 8.02, any such
excess interest that has been paid by the Borrower shall be refunded; (iii) if
the outstanding Obligations have been accelerated as provided in section 8.02,
any such excess that has been paid by the Borrower shall be applied to the
Obligations as provided in section 8.03; and (iv) the effective rate of interest
shall be deemed automatically reduced to the Maximum Permissible Rate.

                    (e) Computation of Interest. All interest and fees payable
pursuant to this Agreement or any Note shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
but excluding the last day, which, in the case of any Interest Period, means
from the first day of such Interest Period to the last day thereof). If the date
for any payment of principal is extended (whether by operation of this
Agreement, any provision of law or otherwise), interest shall be payable for
such extended time.

                    (f) Selection of Interest Periods. The initial Interest
Period applicable to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall, subject to availability, be as
specified in the Borrowing Notice delivered pursuant to section 2.03(a). Each
subsequent, successive Interest Period applicable to such Loan, subject to
sections 2.01 and 2.02 and availability, shall be as specified by the
Borrower in a notice given by an Authorized Representative to the Agent in the
form of Exhibit H (an "Interest Period Selection Notice") given at least three
Business Days prior to the end of the then current Interest Period. If the Agent
shall not have received such notice prior to 12:00 noon (Miami time) on the
Business Day by which such notice is required to be delivered with respect to a
LIBOR Rate Loan, such LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted to an Alternate Base
Rate Loan. No such notice shall be effective under this section2.05(f) so long
as a Default shall have occurred and be continuing. In no event shall there be
outstanding at any one time LIBOR Rate Loans having more than 10 different
Interest Periods.

     Section 2.06   Mandatory Repayment of Loans.

                    (a) At Maturity. All Loans then outstanding shall mature and
become immediately due and payable in full on the Credit Termination Date.

                    (b) Prior to Maturity. If at any time any of the limitations
set forth in section2.01 are exceeded, the Borrower shall, within two Business
Days after the Agent's demand, prepay the Loans in the amount of the excess.
Nothing in this section 2.06(b) shall be construed to restrict the Agent's right
to accelerate the Obligations or pursue its other remedies under section 8.02
based on a limitation in section 2.01 being exceeded.

     Section 2.07 Optional Prepayments of Loans. The Borrower may at any time
and from time to time, upon two Business Days' advance notice, prepay the Loans
in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except that any prepayment of a
Loan shall be in a principal amount of a whole multiple of $100,000, and except
that any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made only on the last day of
an Interest Period for such Loan unless the payment is accompanied by the amount
specified in section 9.06. Amounts to be prepaid shall irrevocably be due and
payable on the date specified in the applicable notice of prepayment, together
with interest thereon as provided in section 2.05(c). Amounts prepaid in respect
of Loans may be reborrowed, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

     The Borrower shall also have the right, upon two Business Days advance
notice, to prepay the Loans in full and terminate this Agreement, provided that
(i) any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be subject to the provisions
hereinabove set forth with respect to prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans, and (ii)
the Borrower must fully prepay all Loans together with all other outstanding
Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, and (iii) Borrower shall remit a
pro rata payment of the Commitment Fee specified in section 2.09, calculated to
the date of receipt by Lender of the full payment of the Loans and other
Obligations, and (iv) the written notice from Borrower must specify that
Borrower desires to terminate this Agreement and prepay in full the Loans.

     Section 2.08 Evidence of Indebtedness; Impaired Notes. The Loans by each
Bank and the Borrower's obligations to repay such Loans and other indebtedness
of the Borrower under this Agreement, with interest in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, (without duplication) shall be evidenced by this Agreement,
the records of the Agent and such Bank, and a single Note for each





                                   23


<PAGE>   30

Bank. The records of the Agent and each Bank shall be prima facie evidence of
the Loans by such Bank and the other indebtedness of the Borrower under this
Agreement, of accrued interest thereon, of accrued fees, and of all payments
made in respect of any thereof. Upon the Borrower's receipt from any Bank of (a)
reasonably satisfactory evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of the Note held by such Bank (an "Impaired Note") and (b) (i) in the case of
mutilation, such Impaired Note for cancellation or (ii) in all other cases,
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and reimbursement of the
Borrower's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incidental thereto, the Borrower
shall make and deliver to such Bank a new Note of like tenor, date and principal
amount in lieu of the Impaired Note.

     Section 2.09 Commitment Fee. For the period beginning on the Agreement Date
and ending on the Credit Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent,
for the ratable account of the Banks in proportion to their Commitments, a
commitment fee equal to the Commitment Fee Rate multiplied by the average daily
amount by which the Total Commitment exceeds the outstanding principal amount of
the Loans. Such fee with respect to each fiscal quarter of the Borrower shall be
due and payable in arrears on the fifth day of the second month following the
end of such fiscal quarter commencing May 15, 1998 and continuing to and on the
Credit Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Bank
fails to make available any portion of its Commitment when requested, such Bank
shall not be entitled to receive payment of its Proportionate Share of such fee
until such Bank shall make available such portion. Such fee shall be calculated
on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

     Section 2.10 Manner and Allocation of Payments. Unless otherwise provided
herein, all payments and deposits due by the Borrower to the Banks or the Agent
hereunder or under or with respect to the Notes shall be made not later than
12:00 noon (Miami time), on the due date thereof, in Dollars and in funds
immediately available to the Agent at the Agent's Office, for the account of,
(a) in the case of amounts due to the Agent, the Agent, and (b) in the case of
all other payments hereunder, the Banks' respective Lending Offices, without any
deduction whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any deduction for any
set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or Tax. Whenever any payment hereunder shall
be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day and any extension shall be included
in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment. Except
as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, all payments received from the
Borrower and distributable to the Banks shall be applied first to pay amounts
owing pursuant to section 11.02 or section 11.03, next to pay fees, commissions
and other charges (other than interest) then due, next to pay interest then due
and the remainder, if any, to pay the outstanding principal of Loans (allocated
among them as the Agent elects). The Borrower hereby authorizes each Bank, if
and to the extent payment owed to such Bank is not made when due hereunder or
under the Note held by such Bank, to charge from time to time against any or all
of the Borrower's accounts with such Bank any amount so due.

     Section 2.11   Application, Distribution and Sharing of Payments

                    (a) Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement,
each payment received by the Agent from the Borrower shall (before any
distribution to any Bank) be allocated and applied by the Agent against any and
all Obligations of any types (and any interest hereon)



                                       24

<PAGE>   31

which are then due or past due hereunder to the Agent itself (in its capacity as
Agent and not as a Bank hereunder) and, by way of deduction, any and all
obligations of the Banks to the Agent (in such capacity) and shall then be
distributed by the Agent (after any deductions provided for herein) to the Banks
(pro rata in proportion to the principal amounts of the Loans then held by each
Bank). All such distributions shall be paid by the Agent to or to the credit of
each Bank in such manner as is reasonably requested in written instructions from
such Bank. Any distribution by the Agent to the Banks shall be made by 4:00 p.m.
(Miami time) on the Business Day following the Business Day on which the
corresponding payment from the Borrower is received by the Agent in immediately
available funds (if the corresponding payment from the Borrower is received in
immediately available funds by the Agent after 12:00 noon (Miami time) on any
Business Day, it shall be deemed received on the following Business Day).

                    (b) If any payment by or recovery whatsoever against the
Borrower hereunder or under any Note is made directly to or recovered directly
by any Bank (rather than made to or recovered by the Agent), such Bank shall
receive such payment or recovery in trust for all the Banks and shall
immediately (without receiving any demand therefor) pay the full amount of such
recovery or payment to the Agent to be allocated and distributed by the Agent
(and applied by the Banks) as provided in section 2.10. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement or of any Notes, the Borrower hereby
expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the recoveries against the Borrower
referred to in this section 2.11(b) shall include all recoveries by any means
whatsoever against the Borrower or any assets of the Borrower (including without
limitation any recoveries by set off against bank deposits, by settlement of
lawsuits or by enforcement of judgments obtained by suit hereunder or under any
Note); and (ii) for all purposes under this Agreement or any Note, any payment
to or recovery by any Bank hereunder or under any Note shall effectively reduce
the amounts (of principal, interest and other Obligations) otherwise owing or
payable to such Bank hereunder (and/or under any Note) to the extent, and only
to the extent, that the amounts owing or payable to such Bank are or would be
reduced after such payment or recovery is remitted in full by such Bank to the
Agent, as provided above in this section 2.11, and is allocated by the Agent and
distributed by it among the Banks as provided in section 2.11. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement or of any Notes, all of the parties to
this Agreement hereby expressly agree that any Bank receiving any payment from
or making any recovery against the Borrower or any of the Guarantors (or any
asset of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors) hereunder or under any Note
shall be deemed to purchase (or, if necessary, shall in fact purchase) from any
or all of the other Banks such participation, and only such participation (if
any), in the Notes and participations payable to or held by such Banks as may be
necessary, under Applicable Law, to give full effect to clause (ii) of this
section 2.11(b).

                    (c) If the Agent shall be required by any court, trustee or
debtor-in-possession or other person to return any amount previously received by
it in respect of the Obligations, each Bank shall, upon receipt of notice from
the Agent, immediately pay over to the Agent such Bank's Proportionate Share of
the amount to be returned.

Section 4. CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWER

     In order to induce the Agent and the Banks to enter into this Agreement and
to make Loans, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent and the Banks
as follows:

and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, has occurred, and no event has occurred
or failed to occur, which has had or might reasonably be expected to have,
either alone or in conjunction with all other such changes, events and failures,
a Materially Adverse Effect. (In determining whether an adverse change has
occurred, it is understood that such an adverse change may have occurred, and
such an event may have occurred or failed to occur, at any particular time
notwithstanding the fact that at such time no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.)

     Section 4.09 No Adverse Fact. No fact or circumstance is known to the
Borrower as of the Agreement Date which, either alone or in conjunction with all
other such facts and circumstances, has had or might reasonably be expected in
the future to have (so far as the Borrower can foresee) a Materially Adverse
Effect that has not been set forth or referred to in the financial statements
referred to in section 7.02(a) or in a writing specifically captioned
"Disclosure Statement" and delivered to the Agent prior to the Agreement Date.
If a fact or circumstance disclosed in such financial statements or Disclosure
Statement, or if an action, suit or proceeding disclosed in Schedule 4.06,

Person.

perfected, first-priority security interests securing all the Obligations.

     Section 4.14 Margin Stock. The proceeds of the Loans will be used by the

other purpose which might constitute any of the Loans a "purpose credit" within

behalf has taken or will take any action which might cause this Agreement or any
of the documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto to violate any
regulation of the Board or to violate the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as





                                       30

in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (15 U.S.C. section 80a-1, et
seq.). The application of the proceeds of the Loans and repayment thereof by the
Borrower and the performance by the Borrower and the other Credit Parties of the

Effect, (iii) failed to make a required material contribution or payment to a
Multiemployer Plan, or (iv) failed to make a material required installment or

the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary with any Environmental Laws, (ii) seeks,
or could reasonably be expected to form the basis of a meritorious proceeding,
to suspend, revoke or terminate any license, permit or approval necessary for
the generation, handling, storage, treatment or disposal of any Hazardous
Material, or (iii) seeks to cause, or could reasonably be expected to form the
basis of a meritorious proceeding to cause, any property of the Borrower or any
Material Subsidiary to be subject to any restrictions on ownership, use,
occupancy or transferability under any Environmental Law to which the Borrower
or such Material Subsidiary is not currently subject, which in the case of any
matter described in items (i), (ii) or (iii) above would result in a Material

<PAGE>   52

Section 9. CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES; YIELD MAINTENANCE; AND ILLEGALITY

     Section 9.01 Increased Costs or Reduced Returns. If, after the Agreement
Date, any Regulatory Change, or compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office)
with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency:

          (a) subjects such Bank (or its Lending Office) to any Tax with respect
to any LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or change
the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Bank (or its Lending
Office) under this Agreement in respect of any LIBOR Rate Loans (other than
Taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Bank by the jurisdiction in
which such Bank has its principal office of such Lending Office);

          (b) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any reserve, special
deposit, assessment, or similar requirement (other than the reserve requirement
utilized in the determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) relating to any
extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other
liabilities or commitments of, such Bank (or its Lending Office), including the
Commitment of such Bank hereunder; or




                                       46

<PAGE>   53

          (c) imposes on such Bank (or its Lending Office) or the London
interbank market any other material adverse condition affecting any of its
material obligations or rights under this Agreement, its Commitment or its Notes
or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or
its Lending Office) of making, converting into, continuing, or maintaining any
Loans or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Lending
Office) under this Agreement or its Note with respect to any Loans, then the
Borrower shall pay to such Bank on demand such amount or amounts as will
compensate such Bank for such increased cost of reduction. If any Bank requests
compensation by the Borrower under this section 9.01, the Borrower may, by
notice to such Bank (with a copy to the Agent) suspend the obligation of such
Bank to make or continue Loans of the Type with respect to which such
compensation is requested, or to convert Loans of any other Type into Loans of
such Type, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be
in effect (in which case the provisions of section 9.07 shall be applicable);
provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Bank
to receive compensation so requested.

     Section 9.02 Capital Adequacy. If, after the Agreement Date, any Bank shall
have determined that any Regulatory Change regarding, or any request or
directive regarding, capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law)
of any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Bank or
any corporation controlling such Bank as a consequence of such Bank's
obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or such corporation
could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change, request or directive (taking
into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from
time to time upon demand the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction or, in the
alternative, Borrower may elect to satisfy in full all of the Obligations and to
terminate this Agreement, provided that Borrower pays to each Bank all amounts
owed up to the date of termination.

     Section 9.03 Notice to Borrower. Each Bank shall promptly notify the
Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after
the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to
section 9.01 or section 9.02 and shall designate a different Lending Office if
such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such
compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise
disadvantageous to it. Any Bank claiming compensation under section 9.01 or
section 9.02 shall furnish to the Borrower and the Agent a reasonably detailed
statement setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder and the calculation thereof which shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods.

     Section 9.04 Limitation on Types of Loans. If on or prior to the first day
of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan:

          (a) The Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive)
that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest
Period; or



                                       47

<PAGE>   54

          (b) the Required Banks determine (which determination shall be
conclusive) and notify the Agent that the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to the Banks of funding LIBOR Rate Loans for such
Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give the Borrower prompt notice thereof,
and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Banks shall be under no
obligation to make additional LIBOR Rate Loans, continue LIBOR Rate Loans or
convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans, and the Borrower shall,
on the last day of the then current Interior Period for each outstanding LIBOR
Rate Loan either prepay such Loan or convert such Loan into an Alternate Base
Rate Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     Section 9.05 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Bank or its Lending
Office to make, maintain, or fund LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder, then such Bank
shall promptly notify the Borrower of that fact, and such Bank's obligation to
make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans or convert Alternate Base Rate Loans into
LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Bank may again make,
maintain and fund LIBOR Rate Loans (in which case the provisions of section 9.07
shall be applicable).

     Section 9.06 Compensation. Upon the request of any Bank, the Borrower shall
pay to such Bank such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the
reasonable determination of such Bank) to compensate it for any loss, cost or
expense (including loss of anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of:

          (a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan for any
reason (including without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to
the terms hereof) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for
such LIBOR Rate Loan; or

          (b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay a LIBOR Rate Loan on the date for such borrowing, conversion,
continuation or prepayment specified in the relevant Borrowing Notice.

If a Bank claims compensation under this section 9.06, such Bank shall furnish a
certificate to the Borrower that states the amount to be paid to it hereunder
and includes a description of the method used by such Bank in calculating such
amount. The Borrower shall have the burden of proving that the amount of any
such compensation calculated by a Bank is not correct. Any compensation payable
by the Borrower to a Bank under this section 9.06 shall be payable without
regard to whether such Bank has funded its LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase
of deposits in any amount or of a maturity corresponding to the deposits used as
a reference in determining the LIBOR Rate.

     Section 9.07 Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Bank to
make a LIBOR Rate Loan or to continue any LIBOR Rate Loan, or to convert any
Alternate Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan is suspended pursuant to this
section 9 (any such Loan being an "Affected Loan"), such Bank's Affected Loans
shall be automatically and immediately be converted into Alternate Base Rate
Loans on the last days of the then current Interest Periods therefor (or, in the
case of a




                                       48

<PAGE>   55

conversion required by section 9.04, on such earlier date as such Bank may
specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such
Bank gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in section
9 that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

          (a) to the extent that such Bank's Affected Loans have been so
converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be
applied to such Bank's Affected Loans shall continue to be made and applied as
provided for herein; and

          (b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued by such Bank
as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made or continue instead as Alternate Base Rate
Loans, and all Loans of such Bank that would otherwise be converted into LIBOR
Rate Loans shall be converted instead into (or shall remain as) Alternate Base
Rate Loans.

If such Bank gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the
circumstances specified in section 9 that gave rise to the conversion of such
Bank's Affected Loans pursuant to this section 9.07 no longer exist (which such
Bank agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time
when Loans of the Type of the Affected Loans made by other Banks are
outstanding, such Bank's Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be automatically
converted, on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period for such
outstanding Loans of the Type of the Affected Loans, to the extent necessary so
that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by Banks holding Loans of the
Type of the Affected Loans and by such Bank are held pro rata (as to principal
amounts, type of interest and Interest Periods) in accordance with their
respective Commitments.

     Section 9.08 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments made by the Borrower hereunder
or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
present or future Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any
Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder or under any Note, (i)
the amount payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional amounts
payable under this section 9.08) each Bank receives an amount equal to the
amount such Bank would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the
Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law.

          (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future
intangible or documentary stamp taxes or any other excise or property taxes,
charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under
any Note or from the execution, delivery, or registration of, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement, any Note or any Loan (hereinafter referred to as
"Other Taxes").

          (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Bank 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 9.08) paid by
such Bank and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses)
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally asserted and provided, however, that Bank has
given the Borrower written notice of and an opportunity to contest same to the
extent Borrower, within 10 business days




                                       49

<PAGE>   56

of receipt of such written notice, advises such Bank in writing that Borrower
reasonably believes that such Taxes and Other Taxes were not correctly or
legally asserted and such Bank is provided currently therewith with adequate
security to cover its liability if such Taxes or Other Taxes are ultimately
determined to be due . Such indemnification shall be made within 10 Business
Days from the date a Bank makes written demand therefor.

          (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes by the
Borrower, the Borrower shall furnish to each Bank the original or a certified
copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. If no Taxes are payable in respect of
any such payment, the Borrower shall furnish to each Bank a certificate from
each appropriate taxing authority or an opinion of counsel acceptable to such
Bank, in either case stating that such payment is exempt from or not subject to
Taxes.

          (e) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on
or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank,
and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the
Agent (but only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall
provide the Borrower and the Agent with (i) Internal Revenue Service form 1001
or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service, certifying that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an
income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which eliminates the
withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable
pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade
or business in the United States, (ii) Internal Revenue Service form W-8 or W-9,
as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, and (iii) any other form or certificate required by any taxing
authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of
the Code), certifying that such Bank is entitled to an exemption from tax on
payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 10. THE AGENT

     Section 10.01 Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and
to exercise such powers under this Agreement, the Notes and the Security
Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together
with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent may perform
any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees.

     Section 10.02 Agent and Affiliates. NationsBank shall have the same rights
and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain
from exercising the same as though it were not the Agent, and NationsBank and
its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in,
provide services to and generally engage in any kind of business with the
Borrower and the Subsidiaries as if it were not the Agent hereunder. The Agent
and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party
or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for services in connection with this
Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks.

     Section 10.03 Action by Agent. The obligations of the Agent hereunder and
under the Loan Documents are only those expressly set forth herein and therein.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent may take any action
with respect to any Default or Event of Default but shall not be required to
except as expressly provided in section 8.02, section 10.09 or the Security
Agreement. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or in
refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the written instructions
signed by the Required Banks and each such instruction and any action taken or
any failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks and
their successors and assigns. The Agent shall have no duty to exercise any right
or power or remedy hereunder or to take any affirmative action hereunder unless
directed to do so in writing by the Required Banks and unless it is first
indemnified by the Banks to its satisfaction against any and all liability,
costs and expenses which may be incurred by reason of taking such action.

     Section 10.04 Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any Guarantors), independent
public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

     Section 10.05 Liability of Agent. Neither the Agent nor any of its
Affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for taking
or omitting to take any action in connection herewith (i) if it does so with the
consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) to the extent its doing
so does not constitute its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither
the Agent, nor any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any Loan hereunder; (ii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any Credit
Party; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in section 3; (iv) the
validity, effectiveness, enforceability, or genuineness of this Agreement, the
Notes, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in
connection herewith or therewith; or (v) any negligence or misconduct of an
agent or attorney-in-fact selected by the Agent with reasonable care. The Agent
shall incur no liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent,
certificate, statement or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telecopy or
similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper
party or parties. Neither the Agent, nor any of its Affiliates, directors,
agents, officers or employees shall be a trustee or fiduciary for any Bank.

     Section 10.06 Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with
its Commitment, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (to the extent it is not
reimbursed by the Credit Parties) against any cost, expense (including counsel
fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except to the
extent resulting from the Agent's own gross negligence or willful misconduct)
that the Agent may suffer, incur or have asserted against it (including by any
Bank) in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted hereunder
by the Agent.

     Section 10.07 Notification of Banks. Each Bank agrees to use its good faith
efforts, upon becoming aware of anything which has or is reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect on any Credit Party, to promptly notify the Agent
thereof. The Agent shall promptly deliver to each Bank copies of every written
notice, demand, report (including any financial report), or other writing



                                       51

<PAGE>   58

which the Agent gives to or receives from the Borrower and which itself (a)
constitutes, or which contains information about, something that has or is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on any Credit Party, or (b)
is otherwise delivered to the Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the Loan
Documents and is deemed material information by the Agent in its sole
discretion. The Agent and its directors, officers, agents and employees shall
have no liability to any Bank for failure to deliver any such item to such Bank
unless the failure constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     Section 10.08 Credit Decisions. Each Bank acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking any action under this Agreement. Except as expressly
provided herein, the Agent shall have no duty to provide any Bank with any
credit or other information with respect to any Credit Party.

     Section 10.09 Defaults. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has
received written notice from a Bank or the Borrower specifying such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default." In the
event that the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or
Event of Default, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks. The
Agent shall (subject to section 10.03 hereof) take such action with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as shall reasonably be directed by the Required
Banks, provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such
directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks.

     Section 10.10 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation,
the Required Banks shall be entitled to appoint a successor Agent, (which may be
one of the Banks) which successor shall be a bank having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $500,000,000 (or the equivalent in another currency). If no
such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of
notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent, may, on behalf of the Banks,
appoint a successor meeting the requirements set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence. Upon the acceptance of its appointment hereunder, such
successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and
duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's or resignation
hereunder, the provisions of this section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent or acting
as such.

     Section 10.11 Security Documents, Etc.

          (a) Each Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to enter into each of the
Security Documents and to take all action contemplated thereby. All rights and
remedies under the Security




                                       52

<PAGE>   59

Documents may be exercised by the Agent for the benefit of the Banks and the
other beneficiaries thereof upon the terms thereof.

          (b) In each circumstance where, under any provision of any Security
Document, the Agent shall have the right to grant or withhold any consent,
exercise any remedy, make any determination or direct any action by the Agent
under such Security Document, the Agent shall act in respect of such consent,
exercise or remedies, determination or action, as the case may be, with consent
of and at the direction of the Required Banks; provided, however, that no such
consent of the Required Banks shall be required with respect to any consent,
determination or other matter that is, in the Agent's reasonable judgment,
ministerial or administrative in nature; and provided, further, that the Agent
shall not expressly release all or substantially all the Collateral (except
inventory (and related documents) sold by the Borrower in the ordinary course of
business as expressly permitted by the Security Agreement) without the consent
of the Required Banks.

     Section 10.12 Consent of Banks. In each circumstance where any consent of
or direction from the Required Banks or all the Banks is required, the Agent
shall request it by sending to the Banks a written notice setting forth a
description in reasonable detail of the matter as to which consent or direction
is required and such Agent's proposed course of action with respect thereto. In
the event the Agent shall not have received a response from any Bank within two
Business Days after receipt of such written notice, such Bank shall be deemed to
have agreed to the course of action proposed by the Agent.

     Section 10.13 Determinations by Agent. Each determination by the Agent with
regard to the subject matter of this Agreement within the Agent's purview shall,
in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.

     Section 10.14 Administrative Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent,
for its individual account, an annual administrative fee as from time to time
agreed to by the Borrower and the Agent in writing.

          (d) No Entitlement. No notice given to or demand made on the Borrower
by the Agent or any Bank in any instance shall entitle the Borrower to notice or

documentary stamp, intangible and similar taxes, and all recording and filing

and the prosecution or defense thereof, in any way arising under, related to, or
connected with, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or the
relationship established hereunder, and (vi) any governmental investigation

                                       55

<PAGE>   62

court that is binding on such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be), final and
not subject to review on appeal, to be the result of acts or omissions of such
Bank or the Agent (as the case may be), constituting gross negligence or willful
misconduct or willful breach of this Agreement.

     Section 11.03 Banks' Right to Cure. The Banks may from time to time, in
their absolute discretion, for the Borrower's account and at the Borrower's
expense, pay (or, with the consent of the Required Banks, make Loans to pay) any
amount or do any act required of the Borrower hereunder or requested by the
Agent or the Required Banks to preserve, protect, maintain or enforce the
Obligations, the Collateral or the Security Interests for the benefit of the
Banks, and which the Borrower fails to pay or do, after five (5) days written
notice from Agent, including payment of any judgment against the Borrower,
insurance premium, taxes or assessments, warehouse charge, financing or
processing charge, landlord's claim, and any other Security Interest upon or
with respect to the Collateral. All payments that the Banks make pursuant to
this section 11.03 and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses that the Banks pay
or incur in connection with any action taken by them hereunder shall be a part
of the Obligations, the repayment of which shall be secured by the Collateral.
Any payment made or other action taken by the Banks pursuant to this
section 11.03 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of
Default hereunder and to pursue the Banks' other rights and remedies with
respect thereto.

     Section 11.04 Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Banks and
the Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative
and not exclusive of nor limiting upon any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have, and no failure or delay by any Bank or the Agent in exercising
any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or any
other power or right. Every indemnification agreement made by the Borrower or
the Banks herein shall survive repayment of the Obligations and the Agreement
Termination Date.

     Section 11.05 Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or
condition of this Agreement may be amended in writing with the consent of the
Borrower and the Required Banks, or compliance therewith may be waived in
writing by the Required Banks, or by the Agent when authorized by the Required
Banks, and in any such event, the failure to observe, perform or discharge any
such covenant, condition or obligation (whether such amendment is executed or
such consent or waiver is given before or after such failure) shall not be
construed as a breach of such covenant, condition or obligation or a Default or
an Event of Default, provided that no such amendment, consent or waiver shall:

          (a) affect the amount or extend the time of the Commitment of any Bank
without the prior written consent of all the Banks;

          (b) except as expressly provided in section 2, alter the time or times
of payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan held by a Bank or the
rate of interest, commission or fees thereon or permit any subordination of the
principal of or interest on any Obligation without the prior written consent of
such Bank as to its interest in such Obligation;





                                       56

<PAGE>   63

          (c) alter any provision of section 9 to the detriment of any Bank
without the prior written consent of all the Banks;

          (d) alter any provision requiring the ratable application of amounts
received by the Agent in payment of, or for application on, indebtedness under
this Agreement or under any of the Notes, or change the percentage required to
authorize or direct the taking of any action under this Agreement, without the
prior written consent of all the Banks;

          (e) alter the provisions of this section 11.05;

          (f) expressly release all or substantially all the Collateral except
as contemplated by the Security Documents without the prior written consent of
all the Banks;

          (g) expressly release any Guarantor from its obligations under its
Guaranty without the prior written consent of all the Banks; or

          (h) change the definition of "Borrowing Base" without the prior
written consent of all the Banks.

Unless otherwise specified in such waiver or consent, a waiver or consent given
hereunder shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Banks may, without
the Borrower's agreement, amend, among themselves, any provision of any Loan
Document if the amendment has no adverse effect on the Borrower or any
Guarantor.

     Section 11.06 Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, the Agent and each Bank, and each of its branches and
offices, is hereby authorized by the Borrower, at any time and from time to
time, (i) to set off against, and to appropriate and apply to the payment of the
Obligations (whether matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent or liquidated or
unliquidated) any and all amounts owing by the Agent, or such Bank, or any such
office or branch, to the Borrower (whether payable in Dollars or any other
currency, whether matured or unmatured, and, in the case of deposits, whether
general or special time or demand and however evidenced) and (ii) pending any
such action, to the extent necessary, to hold such amounts as collateral to
secure such Obligations and to return as unpaid for insufficient funds any and
all checks and other items drawn against any deposits so held as such Bank in
its sole discretion may elect.

     Section 11.07 Assignments and Participations by Banks.

          (a) Each Bank may assign to one of more Eligible Assignees all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including without
limitation all or a portion of its Loans, its Note and its Commitment);
provided, however, that

               (i)  each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee;





                                       57


<PAGE>   64

               (ii) except in the case of an assignment to another Bank or an
assignment of all of a Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, any
such partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $1,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

               (iii) each such assignment by a Bank shall be of a constant, and
not varying, percentage of all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the Note; and

               (iv) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to
the Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit
K, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing fee of
$3,500.

If the Borrower's approval is required for a Person to become an Eligible
Assignee, the Borrower shall not unreasonably withhold such approval and such
approval shall be deemed given if it is not denied in writing by the Borrower
within five Business Days after notice of the proposed assignment has been
provided to it by the assigning Bank.

Upon execution, delivery and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such
assignment, have the obligations, rights and benefits of a Bank hereunder and
the assigning Bank shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its
rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon the
consummation of any assignment pursuant to this section 11.07, the assignor, the
Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required,
new Notes are issued to the assignor and the assignee. If the assignee is not
incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof,
it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent certification as to exemption
from deduction or withholding of Taxes in accordance with section 9.08(e).

          (b) The Agent shall maintain at the Agent's Office a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Bank from time to time (the
"Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection
by the Borrower or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

          (c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the
parties thereto, together with any Note subject to such assignment and payment
of the processing fee, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has
been completed and is in substantially in the form of Exhibit K, (i) accept such
Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the
Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the parties thereto and to the
Borrower.

          (d) Each Bank may sell participations to one or more Persons in all or
a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and its Loans); provided, however, that (i) such
Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the



                                       58

<PAGE>   65

performance of such obligations, (iii) the participant shall be entitled to the
benefit (and be bound by the related covenants and conditions thereunder) of the
yield protection provisions contained in section 9, and (iv) the Borrower shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such
Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Bank shall retain
the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to it Loans
and its Note and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement. When a Bank sells a participation, it shall pay to
the Agent a processing fee of $3,500.

          (e) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement,
any Bank may at any time assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and
its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to
Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank. No
such assignment shall release the assigning Bank from its obligations hereunder.

          (f) Any Bank may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any
Subsidiary or the Collateral in the possession of such Bank from time to time to
assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants).

     Section 11.08 Assignments by Borrower. The Borrower may not assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Agent and all the Banks, and any such attempted
assignment or transfer shall be null and void.

     Section 11.09 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby
waives any provision of law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or
unenforceable in any respect.

     Section 11.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and shall be
binding upon all parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

     Section 11.11 Survival of Obligations. The termination of this Agreement
shall not affect any rights of the Borrower, the Banks or the Agent or any
obligation of the Borrower, the Banks or the Agent arising prior to the
effective date of such termination, and the provisions hereof shall continue to
be fully operative until all transactions entered into or rights created or
obligations incurred prior to such termination have been fully disposed of,
concluded or liquidated and the Obligations arising prior to or after such
termination have been irrevocably paid in full. The rights granted to the Agent
for the benefit of the Banks under the Loan Documents shall continue in full
force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until all
of the Obligations have been paid in full after the termination hereof (other
than Obligations in the nature of continuing indemnities or expense
reimbursement obligations not yet due and payable, which shall continue) or the
Borrower has furnished the Banks and the Agent with an indemnification
satisfactory to the Agent and each Bank with respect thereto. All
representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and agreements




                                       59

<PAGE>   66

contained herein shall survive termination hereof until payment in full of the
Obligations unless otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
after receipt of any payment of all or any part of the Obligations, any Bank is
for any reason compelled to surrender such payment to any Person because such
payment is determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible set
off, a diversion of trust funds or for any other reason, this Agreement shall
continue in full force and the Borrower shall be liable to, and shall indemnify
and hold the Agent or such Bank harmless for, the amount of such payment
surrendered until the Agent or such Bank shall have been finally and irrevocably
paid in full. The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be and remain
effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the
Agent or the Banks in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action
so taken shall be without prejudice to the Agent or the Banks' rights under this
Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having
become final and irrevocable.

     Section 11.12 Change in Accounting Principles. If any Credit Party, at the
end of its fiscal year and with the concurrence of its independent certified
public accountants, changes the method of valuing the inventory of such Credit
Party, or if any other changes in accounting principles from those used in the
preparation of any of the Financial Statements are required by or result from
the promulgation of principles, rules, regulations, guidelines, pronouncements
or opinions by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successors thereto or bodies with
similar functions), and any of such changes result in a change in the method of
calculation of, or affect the results of such calculation of, any of the
financial covenants, standards or terms found herein, then the parties hereto
agree to enter into and diligently pursue negotiations in order to amend such
financial covenants, standards or terms so as to equitably reflect such changes,
with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition
and results of operations of such Credit Party shall be the same after such
changes as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, that until such
changes are made, all financial covenants herein and all the provisions hereof
which contemplate financial calculation hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect.

     Section 11.13 Loan Records. The date and amount of all Loans and payments
of amounts due from the Borrower under the Loan Documents will be recorded in
the records that the Agent normally maintains for such types of transactions.
The failure to record, or any error in recording, any of the foregoing shall
not, however, affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and other
amounts payable under the Loan Documents. The Borrower shall have the burden of
proving that such records are not correct. The Borrower agrees that the Agent's
and any Bank's books and records showing the Obligations and the transactions
pursuant to this Agreement shall be admissible in any action or proceeding
arising therefrom, and shall constitute prima facie proof thereof, irrespective
of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other
instrument.

     Section 11.14 Other Security and Guaranties. The Agent or any Bank may,
without notice or demand and without affecting the Borrower's obligations
hereunder, from time to time: (a) take from any Person and hold collateral
(other than the Collateral) for the payment of all or any part of the
Obligations and exchange, enforce and release such collateral or any part
thereof; and (b) accept and hold any endorsement or guaranty of payment of all
or any part of the Obligations and release or substitute any such endorser or
guarantor, or any Person who has given any Security Interest in any




                                       60

<PAGE>   67

other collateral as security for the payment of all or any part of the
Obligations, or any other Person in any way obligated to pay all or any part of
the Obligations.

     Section 11.15 Currency Indemnity. If under any Applicable Law, whether as a
result of a judgment against the Borrower or any other Credit Party or the
liquidation of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, or for any other reason,
any payment to (or for the benefit of) the Agent or any Bank under or in
connection with the Loan Documents is made or is recovered in a currency other
than that which it is required to be paid, then, to the extent that such payment
(when converted at the rate of exchange on the date of payment) falls short of
the amount unpaid under the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall as a separate and
independent obligation fully indemnify the Agent and the Banks against the
amount of the shortfall; and for the purposes of this section 11.15, "rate of
exchange" means the rate at which the Agent or such Bank is able on the relevant
date to purchase the currency in which the payment is required to be paid with
the currency in which the payment is in fact made or recovered. This provision
shall not be construed as a consent by the Agent or any Bank to payment in any
currency other than the currency in which payment is required to be made under
the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     Section 11.16 Negotiated Transaction. The Borrower, the Agent and each Bank
represent each to the others that in the negotiation and drafting of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents they have been represented by and have
relied upon the advice of counsel of their choice. The Borrower and the Agent
affirm that their counsel have both had substantial roles in the drafting and
negotiation of this Agreement and each Bank affirms that its counsel has
participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement; therefore, this
Agreement will be deemed drafted by all of the Borrower, the Agent and the
Banks, and the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafter will not be employed in the interpretation of this
Agreement.

     Section 11.17 No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in any Loan Document
shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third person to
create the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or joint
venture or of any association between the Banks and the Borrower other than the
relationship of creditors and debtor.

     Section 11.18 Counterpart Facsimile Execution. For purposes of this
Agreement, a document (or signature page thereto) signed and transmitted by
facsimile machine or telecopier is to be treated as an original document. The
signature of any Person thereon, for purposes hereof, is to be considered as an
original signature, and the document transmitted is to be considered to have the
same binding effect as an original signature on an original document. At the
request of any party hereto, any facsimile or telecopy document shall be
re-executed in original form by the Persons who executed the facsimile or
telecopy document. No party hereto may raise the use of a facsimile machine or
telecopier or the fact that any signature was transmitted through the use of a
facsimile or telecopier machine as a defense to the enforcement of this
Agreement or any amendment or other document executed in compliance with this
section 11.18.

     Section 11.19 Further Assurances; Power of Attorney. The Borrower agrees,
upon the request of the Agent, to execute and deliver such further acts as such
Agent may reasonably request in order to fully effectuate the purposes of any
Loan Document. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints




                                       61

<PAGE>   68

the Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (such appointment being
coupled with an interest) with full power (in the name of the Borrower or
otherwise), after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to execute and deliver
such documents and do such acts as the Agent may reasonably deem necessary in
order to fully effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

     Section 11.20 No Representations Regarding Renewal. The Borrower
acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of the Banks has agreed with or
represented to the Borrower that the credit facility created hereby will be
renewed or extended past the Credit Termination Date or that any Loan will be
made after the Credit Termination Date.

     Section 11.21 No Third Party Rights. This Agreement is solely for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and
no other Person shall have any right, benefit, priority or interest under, or
because of the existence of, this Agreement.

     Section 11.22 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of
section 11.07, all of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns. With respect to the Borrower's successors and assigns, such
successors and assigns shall include any receiver, trustee or
debtor-in-possession of or for the Borrower.

     Section 11.23 Indemnification; Limitation of Liability. The Borrower agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Bank and each of their
Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and
advisors (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all claims,
damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including without limitation
reasonable attorneys' fees) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded
against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with
or by reason of (including without limitation in connection with any
investigation, litigation, or proceeding or preparation of defense in connection
therewith) the Loan Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or
the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loan or the manufacture,
storage, transportation, release or disposal of any Hazardous Material on, from,
over or affecting any of the Collateral or any of the assets, properties or
operations of any Credit Party or any predecessor in interest, directly or
indirectly, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or
expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or
willful misconduct or willful breach of this Agreement. In the case of an
investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this
section 11.23 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such
investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its
directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person
or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrower agrees not to
assert any claim against the Agent, any Bank, any of their Affiliates, or any of
their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents and advisers,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive
damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents, any of the
transactions contemplated herein or therein or the actual or proposed use of the
proceeds of the Loans. To the extent that any of the indemnities required from
the Borrower under this Section 11.23



                                       62

<PAGE>   69

are unenforceable because they violate any Applicable Law or public policy, the
Borrower shall pay the maximum amount which it is permitted to pay under
Applicable Law.

     Section 11.24 No Other Agreements. There are no other agreements between
the Agent, the Banks and the Borrower, oral or written, concerning the subject
matter of the Loan Documents other than the Loan Documents themselves, and all
prior agreements which do not constitute Loan Documents concerning the same
subject matter, including any prior proposal or commitment letter, are merged
into the Loan Documents and thereby extinguished.

     Section 11.25 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of
Florida without regard to any conflicts-of-law principle or rule that would give
effect to the law or any other jurisdiction.

     Section 11.26 Judicial Proceedings. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT AGAINST
THE BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE
BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, AND, BY
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER (A) ACCEPTS, GENERALLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND ANY
RELATED APPELLATE COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES (WITHOUT WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO
APPEAL) TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND (B) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION
IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT OR ANY BANK TO BRING
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR OR WITH RESPECT TO THE
COLLATERAL IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY
THE BORROWER AGAINST ANY BANK OR THE AGENT INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY,
ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT LOCATED
IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

     Section 11.27 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE BORROWER, THE AGENT, AND EACH BANK
HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING, ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM TO
WHICH ANY OF THEM ARE PARTIES INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER
(WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF,
RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER AND WHETHER ARISING OR ASSERTED
BEFORE OR AFTER THE AGREEMENT DATE OR BEFORE OR AFTER PAYMENT, OBSERVANCE AND
PERFORMANCE IN FULL OF THE BORROWER'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. THE
BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF EITHER AGENT OR ANY BANK HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT EITHER AGENT OR ANY BANK WOULD NOT, IN
THE EVENT OF



                                       63

<PAGE>   70

SUCH PROCEEDING, ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO
JURY TRIAL PROVISION. THIS section 11.27 IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE AGENTS
AND THE BANKS TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND MAKE LOANS.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed by their duly authorized officers all as of the day and year first
written above.

          respect to any of the foregoing Collateral.

     Section 2. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures the payment of

<PAGE>   79

thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b)

Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Agent or any Bank be
obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Grantor thereunder
or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned
hereunder.

     Section 4. Representations and Warranties. The Grantor represents and
warrants (and, as long as any of the Obligations are unpaid or the Credit
Agreement is in effect, shall be deemed continuously to do so) as follows:

     (a)  All of the Inventory of the Grantor that is not in transit is located
          at one of the addresses set forth in Schedule A hereto (or at such
          other address in the United States of America as Guarantor shall
          advise Agent in writing at least 10 Business Days prior to any of the
          Inventory being relocated at such address, subject to Borrower
          executing and delivering to Agent a UCC-1 financing statement for the
          new jurisdiction). As of the date hereof, the chief place of business
          and chief executive office of the Grantor is the address for the
          Grantor set forth at the head of this Agreement, and the office where
          the Grantor keeps its records concerning the Receivables, and all
          originals of all chattel paper which evidence Receivables, is located
          there.

     (b)  None of the Receivables is evidenced by a promissory note or other
          instrument except such instruments as have been delivered and endorsed
          to the Agent, and all of the Receivables consisting of accounts that
          arose out of bona fide sales of goods that have been delivered by the
          Grantor or services that have been performed by it.

     (c)  The Grantor owns all the Collateral free and clear of any lien,
          security interest, charge or encumbrance except the security interests
          created hereby and those liens and security interests permitted under
          the Credit Agreement (including those disclosed in Section 6.07 of the
          Credit Agreement). No effective financing statement, debenture or
          other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the
          Collateral owned by the Grantor is on file in any recording office
          except such as may have been filed in favor of the Agent relating to
          this Agreement or with respect to those security interests permitted
          under the Credit Agreement (including those disclosed in Section 6.07
          of the Credit Agreement.

     (d)  As of the date hereof, the Grantor has no trade name and has never
          had, nor done business under, another name.

     (e)  The Grantor has exclusive possession and control of the Inventory and
          Equipment.

     (f)  This Agreement creates a valid and perfected first priority security
          interest in the Collateral owned by the Grantor securing the payment
          of the Obligations to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks, and all
          filings and any other actions necessary or desirable to perfect and
          protect such security interest have been duly taken except a UCC-1
          financing statement to be filed with the Secretary of State of
          Florida.

     (g)  No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or
          filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required
          either (i) for the grant by the Grantor of the security interest
          granted hereby or for the execution, delivery or performance of this
          Agreement by the Grantor or (ii) for the perfection of or the exercise
          by the Agent of its rights and remedies hereunder except a UCC-1
          financing statement to be filed with the Secretary of State of
          Florida.

     (h)  The Grantor has received adequate consideration and reasonably
          equivalent value for entering into this Agreement and, in any event,
          will not be rendered insolvent by it or left with unreasonably small
          capital to conduct its businesses.

     Section 5. Further Assurances.

     (a)  The Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of the
          Grantor, the Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further
          instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be
          necessary or desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably request, in
          order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or
          purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Agent to exercise and
          enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the
          Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
          Grantor shall, upon reasonable notification by the Agent: (i) mark
          conspicuously each document included in the Inventory and each chattel
          paper included in the Receivables and each Related Contract and, at
          the request of the Agent, each of its records pertaining to the
          Collateral, with a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to the
          Agent, indicating that such document, chattel paper, Related Contract
          or other Collateral is subject to the security interest granted
          hereby; (ii) if any Receivable shall be evidenced by a promissory
          note, other instrument or chattel paper, deliver and pledge to the
          Agent hereunder such note, instrument or chattel paper duly endorsed
          and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
          assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent; and
          (iii) execute and file such financing or continuation statements (or
          amendments thereto), notices of lien, debentures and other instruments
          or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Agent may
          request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests
          granted or purported to be granted hereby.

     (b)  The Grantor hereby authorizes the Agent to file one or more financing
          or continuation statements (and amendments thereto) and notices of
          Liens and make such other filings and registrations relative to all or
          any part of the Collateral owned




                                      -4-

<PAGE>   81

          by the Grantor without the signature of the Grantor where permitted or
          not prohibited by law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of
          this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or
          any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

     (c)  The Grantor shall furnish to the Agent from time to time statements
          and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and
          such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Agent may
          reasonably request, all in a form and with a degree of detail
          satisfactory to the Agent.

     Section 6. Certain Covenants as to Inventory. Until the Agreement
Termination Date, the Grantor shall:

     (a)  Keep the Inventory owned by it at one of the places therefor specified
          in Schedule A hereto unless it advises Agent that any of such
          Inventory will be moved to another location in the United States of
          America at least 10 Business Days prior to its relocation and executes
          appropriate UCC-1 financing statements for the new jurisdiction;

     (b)  Keep the Inventory in good condition, in compliance in all material
          respects with all government requirements for its sale, and generally
          saleable in the ordinary course of such Grantor's business;

     (c)  Pay promptly when due all property and other taxes, assessments and
          governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims (including
          claims for labor, materials and supplies) against, the Inventory,
          except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good
          faith and without jeopardizing the value of the Inventory as security
          hereunder;

     (d)  Permit the Agent and its agents to make inspections and audits of the
          Inventory when and as often as the Bank considers necessary or
          desirable; and

     (e)  Not sell any Inventory except in the ordinary course of its business
          substantially in the same manner as now conducted and in accordance
          with Applicable Law.

     Section 7. Certain Covenants as to Receivables. Until the Agreement
Termination Date:

     (a)  Subject to providing Agent with 30 Days prior written notice as to any
          change within the United States of America, and subject to execution
          by the Grantor and delivery to Agent of UCC-1 financing statements for
          the new jurisdiction, the Grantor shall keep its chief place of
          business and chief executive office at the office specified at the
          head of this Agreement and shall keep its records concerning the
          Receivables, and all originals of all chattel paper which evidence
          Receivables there. The Grantor



                                      -5-

<PAGE>   82

          shall hold and preserve such records and chattel paper and shall
          permit representatives or agents of the Agent or any Bank at any
          reasonable time during normal business hours to inspect and make
          abstracts from such records and chattel paper, to test the Receivables
          and after an Event of Default to make inquiries of and give notice of
          the security interests created hereby to the obligors of the
          Receivables.

     (b)  Except as otherwise provided in this section 7(b), the Grantor shall
          continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become
          due under the Receivables. In connection with such collections, the
          Grantor may take (and, after an Event of Default at the Agent's
          direction, shall take) such action as the Grantor or the Agent may
          deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Receivables;
          provided, however, that the Agent shall have the right, at any time
          after the occurrence of an Event of Default, regardless of whether the
          Obligations have been accelerated, upon written notice to the Grantor
          of its intention to do so, to notify the account debtors or obligors
          under any or all of the Receivables of the assignment of such
          Receivables to the Agent and to direct such account debtors or
          obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due
          thereunder directly to the Agent and, upon such notification and at
          the expense of the Grantor, to enforce collection of any such
          Receivables, and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment
          thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Grantor
          might have done. After receipt by the Grantor of the notice from the
          Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all
          amounts and proceeds (including instruments) received by the Grantor
          in respect of the Receivables shall be received in trust for the
          benefit of the Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds
          of the Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent in the
          same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be held
          by the Agent as cash collateral and applied as provided by
          section 15(b), and (ii)the Grantor shall not adjust, settle or
          compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, or release wholly
          or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit
          or discount thereon that is material or outside the ordinary course of
          the Grantor's business. No account party or obligor under a Receivable
          shall have any duty to inquire whether a Default or an Event of
          Default has occurred before making payments directly to the Agent.
          After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent may settle or
          adjust disputes and claims directly with the obligors of the
          Receivables for amounts and on terms which the Agent considers
          advisable and in all such cases only the net amounts received by the
          Agent in payment of such amounts (after deduction of any amounts
          payable under section 16) need be applied to the Obligations. Upon the
          occurrence of an Event of Default the Grantor shall fully cooperate
          with the Agent's efforts to collect the Receivables including
          notifying and instructing the parties obligated on them to make
          payment to the Agent rather than the Grantor.




                                      -6-

<PAGE>   83

     (c)  The Grantor shall comply fully with its obligations under any
          agreements included in the Receivables or Related Contracts and shall
          refrain from any act or omission that would interfere with, or in any
          manner prevent, the Agent's or the Banks' obtaining the full benefits
          of any of the Receivables and Related Contracts.

     Section 8. Certain Covenants as to Equipment. Until the Agreement
Termination Date:

     (a)  The Grantor shall keep the Equipment owned by it at the addresses for
          the Grantor specified in Schedule A hereto unless notice of any change
          to a new address in the United States of America is provided to Agent
          at least 30 Days prior to the relocation of any such Equipment, and
          provided Grantor executes and delivers to Agent a UCC- 1 financing
          statement for the new jurisdiction;

     (b)  The Grantor shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the
          Equipment except as otherwise permitted in Section 6.08 of the Credit
          Agreement;

     (c)  The Grantor shall cause the Equipment owned by it to be maintained and
          preserved in all material respects in the same condition, repair and
          working order as when new, ordinary wear and tear and casualty
          excepted, and in accordance with any manufacturer's manual, and shall
          forthwith, or in the case of any loss or damage to any of the
          Equipment as quickly as practicable after the occurrence thereof, make
          or cause to be made all repairs, replacements, and other improvements
          in connection therewith which are necessary or desirable to such end
          and then required for the conduct of its business as presently
          conducted, and shall promptly furnish to the Agent a statement
          respecting any loss or damage to any material portions of the
          Equipment;

     (d)  The Grantor shall pay promptly when due all property and other taxes,
          assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all
          material claims (including claims for labor, materials and supplies)
          against, the Equipment except to the extent the validity thereof is
          being contested in good faith and without jeopardizing the value of
          the Equipment as security hereunder.

     Section 9. Certain Covenants as to Instruments and Buyer Letters of Credit.
Until the Agreement Termination Date:

     (a)  The Grantor shall deliver to the Agent each Instrument held by it and
          each letter of credit (and each advice or confirmation of such a
          letter of credit) of which it is the beneficiary (a "Buyer Letter of
          Credit"), with whatever endorsements and instruments of transfer the
          Agent requires, to be held by the Agent as long as this Agreement is
          in effect. For purposes of perfecting the Agent's security interest
          therein, possession of an Instrument or a Buyer Letter of Credit by an
          agent or correspondent of the Agent shall constitute possession
          thereof by the Agent and any




                                       -7-


<PAGE>   84

          possession thereof by the Grantor shall be construed as possession by
          a custodial agent for the Agent. The Grantor shall, with respect to
          each Buyer Letter of Credit do whichever one or more of the following
          is requested by the Agent from time to time: (i) notify the issuer of
          (and any negotiating or paying bank for) such Buyer Letter of Credit
          to make payment thereof to the Agent and procure the consent and
          agreement of such issuer (and negotiating bank) to do so; (ii) require
          such Buyer Letter of Credit to be transferrable and to transfer the
          same to the Agent; and/or (iii) whatever else the Agent may require to
          afford it the full benefit of such Buyer Letters of Credit. After an
          Event of Default the Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent
          to deposit into a cash collateral account any amounts received by the
          Agent with respect to any Buyer Letter of Credit of which the Grantor
          is the beneficiary (whether as the collecting or presenting bank or
          otherwise) or paid out by the Agent as the negotiating or paying bank
          therefor.

     (b)  The Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized (but not in any manner
          obligated), in its sole discretion, after an Event of Default shall
          have occurred, to collect any and all Instruments and Buyer Letters of
          Credit and to apply the proceeds thereof against any of the
          Obligations (whether or not then due). Nothing in this Agreement shall
          impose on the Agent any greater responsibility with respect to any
          Instruments or Buyer Letters of Credit than it would have under the
          International Chamber of Commerce Uniform Rules for Collections, as
          modified by Agent's standard agreement, if any, regarding documentary
          collections. The assignments and authorizations contained in this
          section 9 (or elsewhere herein) shall not in any way release the
          Grantor of its obligations to pay the Obligations in full, and the
          Grantor shall be fully liable for any deficiencies. After an Event of
          Default, the Grantor shall fully cooperate with the Agent's efforts to
          collect the Instruments and Buyer Letters of Credit including
          notifying and instructing the parties obligated on them to make
          payment to the Agent rather than the Grantor and obtaining their
          consent to doing so.

     (c)  Nothing in this section 9 shall be construed or operate so as to
         impose any obligation or duties on the Agent or any Bank. The powers
         conferred on the Agent hereunder or solely to protect its interest in
         the Instruments and the Buyer Letters of Credit and shall not impose
         any duty on it to exercise any such powers, except to use reasonable
         care in the custody of any Instruments and Buyer Letters of Credit
         which the Agent has physical possession of itself (as distinguished,
         for instance, from possession through a custodian or agent) and
         accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder (as
         distinguished, for instance, for monies received by a custodian or
         agent but not remitted to the Agent). Without limiting the generality
         of the foregoing, the Agent shall not have liability to the Grantor in
         connection with any misfeasance, malfeasance or negligence on the part
         of any institutional custodian or agent whom the Agent has selected in
         good faith, and no payment shall be considered to have been received by
         the Agent merely by virtue of its having been received by such a
         custodian or agent.




                                      -8-

<PAGE>   85

 (d) After an Event of Default, the Grantor shall not release any party
liable under an Instrument or Buyer Letter of Credit or do or agree to do
anything that would impair any Instrument's or Buyer Letter of Credit's value as
security hereunder.

     Section 10. Certain Covenants as to Marks. Until the Agreement Termination
Date:

     (a)  As of the date hereof, the Grantor represents and warrants that it is
          the true and lawful owner or licensee of the Marks listed in Schedule
          B hereto and that those Marks constitute all the Marks registered in
          the United States Patent and Trademark Office that the Grantor now
          owns or uses in connection with its business. As of the date hereof,
          the Grantor represents and warrants that it owns or is licensed to use
          all Marks that it uses. As of the date hereof, the Grantor further
          represents and warrants that it is aware of no third party claim that
          any aspect of the Grantor's present or contemplated business
          operations infringes or will infringe in any material respect any
          Mark.

     (b)  The Grantor shall not divest itself of any right under a Mark without
          the prior written consent of the Agent unless such Mark is no longer
          necessary for its operations in any material respect.

     (c)  The Grantor, promptly upon learning thereof, shall notify the Agent in
          writing of the name and address of, and to furnish such pertinent
          information that may be available with respect to, any party who may
          be infringing or otherwise violating in any material respect any of
          the Grantor's rights in and to any significant Mark, or with respect
          to any party claiming that the Grantor's use of any significant Mark
          violates in any material respect any property right of that party. The
          Grantor shall, unless otherwise directed by the Agent, diligently
          prosecute any person materially infringing any significant Mark to the
          extent such infringement would have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (d)  The Grantor shall use its significant Marks in interstate commerce
          during the time in which this Assignment is in effect, sufficiently to
          preserve such Marks as trademarks or service marks registered under
          the laws of the United States (unless such Mark is no longer necessary
          for its operations in any material respect).

     (e)  The Grantor shall, at its own expense, diligently process all
          documents required by the Trademark Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C.
          section 1051 et seq. to maintain trademark registration material
          to its business or operations, including but not limited to affidavits
          of use and applications for renewals of registration in the United
          States Patent and Trademark Office for all of its Marks pursuant to 15
          U.S.C. sections 1058(a), 1059 and 1065, shall pay all fees and
          disbursements in connection therewith, and shall not abandon any such
          filing of affidavit of use or any such application of



                                      -9-

<PAGE>   86

          renewal prior to the exhaustion of all administrative and judicial
          remedies without prior written consent of the Required Banks. The
          Grantor shall notify the Agent six months prior to the dates on which
          the affidavits of use or the applications for renewal registration are
          due that the affidavit of use or the renewal is being processed.

     (f)  If any Mark registration issues hereafter to the Grantor as a result
          of any application now or hereafter pending before the United States
          Patent and Trademark Office, within 30 days of receipt of such
          certificate, the Grantor shall deliver a copy of such certificate, and
          a grant of security in such mark to the Agent, confirming the grant
          thereof hereunder, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent.

     (g)  If an Event of Default shall occur and the due date of the Obligations
          shall have been accelerated, the Agent, by written notice to the
          Grantor, may take any or all of the following actions: (i) declare the
          entire right, title and interest of the Grantor in and to each of the
          Marks, together with all trademark rights and rights of protection to
          the same, vested, in which event such rights, title and interest shall
          immediately vest, in the Agent for the benefit of the Banks, in which
          case the Grantor agrees to execute an assignment, in form and
          substance satisfactory to the Agent, of all its rights, title and
          interest in and to the Marks to the Agent for the benefit of the
          Banks; (ii) take and use or sell the Marks and the goodwill of the
          Grantor's business symbolized by the Marks and the right to carry on
          the business and use the assets of the Grantor in connection with
          which the Marks have been used; and (iii) direct the Grantor to
          refrain, in which event the Grantor shall refrain, from using the
          Marks in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, and, if
          requested by the Agent, change the Grantor's corporate name to
          eliminate therefrom any use of any Mark and execute such request to
          further confirm this and to transfer ownership of the Marks and
          registrations and any pending trademark application in the United
          States Patent and Trademark Office to the Agent.

     Section 11. Insurance.

     (a)  The Grantor shall, at its own expense, maintain insurance with respect
          to the Inventory and the Equipment in such amounts, against such
          risks, in such form and with such insurers, as shall be satisfactory
          to the Agent from time to time. Each policy for property damage
          insurance shall provide for all losses (except for losses of less than
          $2,000,000.00 per occurrence) to be paid directly to the Agent. Each
          such policy shall in addition (i) name the Grantor and the Agent as
          insured parties thereunder (without any representation or warranty by
          or obligation upon the Agent) as their interests may appear, (ii)
          contain the agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder (subject
          to the preceding sentence) shall be payable to the Agent
          notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of representation or
          warranty by the Grantor, (iii) provide that there shall be no recourse
          against the Agent for payment




                                      -10-

<PAGE>   87

          of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto and (iv) provide
          that at least ten days' prior written notice of cancellation or of
          lapse shall be given to the Agent by the insurer. The Grantor shall,
          if so requested by the Agent, deliver to the Agent original or
          duplicate policies of such insurance and, as often as the Agent may
          reasonably request a report of reputable insurance broker with respect
          to such insurance. Further, the Grantor shall, at the request of the
          Agent, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such
          insurance policies to comply with the requirements of this section 11
          and cause the respective insurers to acknowledge notice of such
          assignment.

     (b)  Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by the Grantor
          pursuant to this section 11 may be paid directly to the person who
          shall have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of
          any loss involving damage or Equipment or Inventory when subsection
          (c) of this section 11 is not applicable, the Grantor shall make or
          cause to be made the necessary repairs to or replacements of such
          Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance maintained by
          the Grantor pursuant to this section 11 shall be paid to the Grantor
          as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements.

     (c)  Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
          Default, or (ii) the actual or constructive total loss (in excess of
          $2,000,000.00, per occurrence) of any Inventory or Equipment, all
          insurance payments in respect of such Inventory or Equipment shall be
          paid to and applied by the Agent as specified in section 15(b).

     Section 12. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints the Agent the Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor,
the Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Agent's discretion, to take any
action and to execute any instrument which the Agent may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without
limitation:

     (a)  to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Agent
          pursuant to section 11,

     (b)  to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and
          give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under
          or in respect of any of the Collateral,

     (c)  to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments,
          documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause (a) or (b)
          above, and

     (d)  to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
          which the Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of
          any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the
          Grantor or the Agent with respect to any of the Collateral.

     Section 13. Agent May Perform. If the Grantor fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, the Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Agent incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by the Grantor under section 16(b). The Grantor
assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral, and
the liability of the Grantor to pay the Obligations shall not be diminished or
otherwise affected by reason of any Collateral being uncollectible, lost,
destroyed, stolen, damaged or otherwise unavailable for any reason.

     Section 14. The Agent's Duties. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder
are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any
duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any
Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by
it hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the
taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any
other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

     Section 15. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred:

     (a)  The Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to
          other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available
          to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under
          the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Florida (the
          "Code") (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral)
          and also may (i) require the Grantor to, and the Grantor hereby agrees
          that it will at its expense and upon request of the Agent forthwith,
          assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Agent and
          make it available to the Agent at a place to be designated by the
          Agent and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the
          Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or
          private sale, at any of the Agent's offices or else where, for cash,
          on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the
          Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Grantor agrees that with
          respect to Inventory and Equipment and Marks at least 10 days' notice
          to the Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time
          after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute fair and
          reasonable notification. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any
          sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The
          Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
          announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
          without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was
          so adjourned.

     (b)  All cash proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of,
          collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
          Collateral may, in the discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent
          in a cash collateral or suspense account (or otherwise) as collateral
          for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of
          any amounts payable to the Agent pursuant to section 16) in whole or
          in part by the Agent



                                      -12-

<PAGE>   89

          against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as the Agent
          shall elect (subject, however, to section 8.03 of the Credit
          Agreement). The Grantor shall be fully liable for any deficiency.

     (c)  The Agent and the Banks shall not be liable to the Borrower as a
          result of any commercially reasonable possession, repossession,
          collection or sale by the Agent of the Collateral; and the Borrower
          hereby waives the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption
          laws. If the Agent seeks to take possession of any of the Collateral
          after an Event of Default by replevin or other court process, the
          Borrower hereby irrevocably waives (i) the posting of any bonds,
          surety and security relating thereto required by any statute, court
          rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession, (ii) any demand
          for possession of the Collateral prior to the commencement of any suit
          or action to recover possession thereof, (iii) any requirement that
          the Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral subject
          to Agent otherwise complying with applicable law, and (iv) to the
          extent permitted by Applicable Law, all right to notice and hearing
          prior to the exercise by the Agent of the Agent's right to repossess
          the Collateral without judicial process or to replevy, attach or levy
          upon the Collateral without notice or hearing. The Agent shall have no
          obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or to marshall any of
          the Collateral for the benefit of any Person.

     (d)  The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the
          application of payments and proceeds of the Collateral.

     (e)  The Agent's and the Banks' rights and remedies provided in this
          Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, whatever rights
          and remedies they have under the other Loan Documents or Applicable
          Law.

     Section 16. Indemnity and Expenses.

     (a)  The Grantor shall indemnify the Agent and hold it harmless from and
          against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or
          resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation,
          enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities
          resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     (b)  The Grantor shall upon demand pay to the Agent the amount of any and
          all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and
          disbursements of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the
          Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this
          Agreement in connection with or after the occurrence of an Event of
          Default, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the
          sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the
          Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of
          the Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure by the Grantor to perform or
          observe any of the provisions hereof.

     Section 17. Transfers and Other Liens. The Grantor shall not, without the
Agent's (and, if required by the Credit Agreement, the Required Banks') prior
written consent:

     (a)  Sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose
          of any of the Collateral except Inventory as provided by section 6(e)
          and except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement or the Credit
          Agreement;

     (b)  Create or suffer to exist any lien, security interest, charge or other
          encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral to secure
          Debt of any person or entity, except for the Security Interests or as
          otherwise permitted in the Credit Agreement.

     (c)  Do anything that would materially impair the value of the Collateral
          as security for the Obligations.

this Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Grantor here from shall in
any event be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by the Agent,
and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

hereunder shall be given in the manner and with the effect provided in

continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full
force and effect until terminated in writing by the Agent or until all of the
Obligations are satisfied in full and the Credit Agreement terminated, (ii) be
binding upon the Grantor, its successors and assigns and (iii) inure to the
benefit of the Agent, the Banks and their respective successors, transferees and
assigns.

     Section 21. Governing Law; Terms. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. Unless otherwise
defined herein or in the Credit Agreement, terms used in Article 9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code in the State of Florida are used herein as therein
defined.

     Section 22. Jury Trial Waiver. THE GRANTOR AND THE AGENT EACH HEREBY WAIVE
ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
COUNTERCLAIM ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING THERETO.

executed and delivered by its officer thereunto duly authorized as of the date
first above written.

                               GUARANTY AGREEMENT

                            Dated as of March 2, 1998

     This GUARANTY AGREEMENT ("this Guaranty") is made as of the date set forth
above by ________________________ _______________________________, a
____________________ corporation having an address at___________________________

to below for the benefit of the banks now or hereafter signatory thereto (the
"Banks").

                                   BACKGROUND

     A. Precision Response Corporation, a Florida corporation, (the "Borrower"),
the Banks and the Agent are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of March 2,
1998 (as modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement," the capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein being
used herein as therein defined), providing, subject to the terms and conditions
thereof, for Loans.

     B. The Guarantor's business interests are closely intertwined with the
Borrower's and, accordingly, the Guarantor will benefit substantially from the
Banks' making Loans to the Borrower.

     C.   It is a condition precedent to the Banks' making Loans to the
Borrower that the
Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.

                                   AGREEMENTS

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration (the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged) and in order to induce the Banks to make Loans to the Borrower,
the Guarantor agrees as follows:

     Section 1. Guaranty.

          (a) The Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the
     punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
     otherwise, of the Obligations and the Rate Hedging Obligations owed by the
     Borrower to each and any Bank and/or the Agent now or hereafter existing
     under, evidenced by or in any way relating to the Credit Agreement, any
     Note and/or any other Loan Document, whether for principal, interest,
     overdrafts, fees, commissions, expenses, indemnity obligations or otherwise
     (the


<PAGE>   100

     Obligations and such Rate Hedging Obligations being collectively, the
     "Obligations"). This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and it
     shall not be affected in any way by the absence of any action to obtain
     payment from the Borrower. In addition, the Guarantor agrees to pay any and
     all expenses (including counsel fees and expenses at all levels) incurred
     by any Bank and/or the Agent in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty
     (the "Collection Costs").

          (b) It is the intention of the Guarantor, the Agent and the Banks that
     the Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall be in, but not in excess of,
     the maximum amount (the "Maximum Guaranty Liability") permitted by
     applicable law governing bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
     adjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or other
     similar laws applicable to the Guarantor ("Applicable Law"). To that end,
     but only if and to the extent such obligations would otherwise be subject
     to avoidance under Applicable Law, the Guarantor's obligations hereunder
     shall be reduced to the maximum amount which, after giving effect thereto,
     would not, under Applicable Law, render such obligations unenforceable or
     avoidable under Applicable Law. In no event, however, shall the Maximum
     Guaranty Liability be reduced to an amount less than the amount the Agent
     or the Banks would be entitled to enforce under Applicable Law (e.g., 11
     U.S.C. section548(c)) by virtue of the Banks' having given value to the
     Guarantor in exchange for the Obligations. This section1(b) is intended
     solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the Banks hereunder to the
     maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law and neither the Guarantor nor
     any other Person shall have any right or claim under this section1(b) that
     would not otherwise be available under Applicable Law.


          (c) The Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from
     time to time exceed the Maximum Guaranty Liability of the Guarantor, and
     may exceed the aggregate Maximum Guaranty Liabilities of all the guarantors
     of the Obligations, without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights
     and remedies of the Bank hereunder.

     Section 2. Guaranty Absolute. The Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations
will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents governing
them, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in
any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the each Bank and
the Agent with respect thereto. The liability of the Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

          (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any payment provisions
     of any agreements or instruments relating to or securing any of the
     Obligations or any instrument by which the Guarantor has granted the Agent
     or any Bank or Banks a security interest or lien as security for this
     Guaranty or for any of the Obligations (said agreements and instruments
     being collectively the "Loan Documents");

                                      -2-

<PAGE>   101

          (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
     other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or
     waiver of or any consent to departure from any of the Loan Documents;

          (c) any exchange, release, or nonperfection of a security interest in,
     any collateral for any of the Obligations, any limitation as to the amount
     of the Obligations secured by any of the Loan Documents, any invalidity of,
     release, amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from, any other
     guaranty for all or any of the Obligations or any failure to obtain any
     guaranty contemplated by the Loan Documents or any related commitment or
     proposal letter;

          (d) the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy of the Borrower, or any
     assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, receivership,
     liquidation or other similar proceedings affecting the Borrower or any of
     its assets;

          (e) any present or future action of any governmental authority
     amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend,
     vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Obligations, any of the Loan
     Documents or this Guaranty;

          (f) any other event or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
     defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any guarantor.

Nothing herein to the contrary withstanding, this Guaranty shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of
any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent
or any Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

     Section 3. Waiver. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives:

          (a) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and all other notices
     with respect to any of the Obligations, this Guaranty or any disposition of
     collateral;

          (b) any requirement that the Agent or any Bank protect, secure,
     perfect or insure any security interest or lien on any property subject
     thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower or any
     other person or entity or any collateral;

          (c) any defense based on any event or circumstances described in
     Section 2; and

          (d) any duty of the Agent or any Bank to advise the Guarantor of any
     information known to the Agent or such Bank regarding the financial
     condition of the Borrower or any other circumstance affecting the
     Borrower's ability to perform its obligations to the Banks, it being agreed
     that the Guarantor assumes responsibility for being and keeping informed
     regarding such condition or any such circumstance.


                                      -3-

     Section 4. Subrogation. The Guarantor shall not exercise any rights which
it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Guaranty, by any payment made
hereunder or otherwise, until all the Obligations shall have been paid in full.
If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation
rights at any time when all the Obligations shall not have been paid in full,
such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks
and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent for the account of the Banks to be
credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

     Section 5. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor hereby represents
and warrants to the Agent and the Banks as follows:

          (a) The execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this
     Guaranty do not contravene or conflict with law, the Guarantor's articles
     of incorporation or by-laws or any contractual restriction binding on or
     affecting the Guarantor.

          (b) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to
     or filing with, any person or any governmental authority or regulatory
     body, is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the
     Guarantor of this Guaranty.

          (c) The Guarantor has received adequate consideration and equivalent
     value for executing and delivering this Guaranty and will not be rendered
     insolvent thereby (irrespective of the effect of section1(b) hereof). This
     Guaranty is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor
     enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

          (d) There is no pending or threatened action or proceeding affecting
     the Guarantor before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, which
     may result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) The Guarantor is a corporation validly existing and in good
     standing under the laws of the state of incorporation indicated at the head
     of this Agreement.

          (f) Any and all corporate and shareholder actions required to
     authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have
     been taken.

     Section 6. Additional Covenants. As long as this Guaranty is in effect, the
Guarantor shall, unless the Agent and the Required Banks shall otherwise consent
in writing:

     regulations and orders (such compliance to include, without limitation,
     paying before the same become delinquent all taxes, assessments and
     governmental charges) imposed upon it or upon its property, the
     non-compliance with which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

<PAGE>   103


          (b)  Furnish to the Agent and each Bank the following:

               (i) whatever financial statements and reports the Agent requests
          pursuant to the Credit Agreement

               (ii) as soon as possible and in any event within 10 days of the
          Guarantor's discovery thereof, notice of any event or circumstance
          which has or may have a Material Adverse Effect;

               (iii) as soon as possible and in any event within 10 days after
          the commencement thereof or any adverse determination therein, notice
          of all actions, suits and proceedings before any court or governmental
          department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality
          materially adversely affecting the Guarantor;

          operations, financial or otherwise, of the Guarantor as the Agent may
          from time to time reasonably request pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

     the Agent and the Banks and to the Borrower or any Subsidiary (provided it

     Guarantor's ability to perform it obligations hereunder.

          (c) Not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its material
     assets or properties and not create or suffer to exist any lien, security
     interest or other material charge or encumbrance, or any other type of
     preferential arrangement, upon or with respect to any of its assets or
     properties, if the result would be to decrease significantly the
     Guarantor's net worth or to impair the ability of a judgment creditor of
     the Guarantor to attach or garnish such assets or properties except as
     otherwise permitted in the Credit Agreement.

          (d) Not do anything that would cause or contribute to a Default.

(as defined in the Credit Agreement or any note evidencing any of the
Obligations), any Bank 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 such Bank to or for the credit
or the account of the Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of the
Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether
or not such Bank shall have made any demand under this Guaranty and although
such obligations may be contingent and unmatured. The rights of any Bank under
this section 10 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Bank may have.

     Section 11. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and
shall (i) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the
Obligations and termination of the Credit Agreement (and thereafter with respect

including the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower ), (ii)
be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the Agent and each Bank and its successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause
(iii), any Bank may, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, assign or

Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall immediately be due and payable in full
without notice.

     Section 13. Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Florida without regard to
any conflicts-of-law principle or rule that would give effect to the law of any
other jurisdiction.

     Section 14. Terminology. As used herein, "hereof," "hereunder," "hereby"
and "herein" refer to this Guaranty as a whole and not merely the paragraph in
which they appear.

     Section 15. Severability. If any provision of this Guaranty shall be held
invalid under any applicable law, such invalidity shall not affect any other
provision of this Guaranty that can be given effect without the invalid
provision, and, to that end, the provisions hereof are severable.

     Section 16. Subordination. The Guarantor hereby subordinates payment of all
debts now or hereafter owing by the Borrower to the Guarantor to any and all
Obligations. The Guarantor shall ensure that every note evidencing any part of
the subordinated debt and every ledger page relating thereto bears a legend
which indicates this subordination. The Guarantor shall not request or accept
payment of all or any security for any part of the subordinated debt, and, if
all of any part of it should be paid to the Guarantor, through error or
otherwise, the Guarantor shall immediately forward such payment to the Agent in
the form received, properly endorsed to the order of the Agent, to be applied
against the Obligations.

     Section 18. Submission to Jurisdiction. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably
(a) submits, in any legal proceeding relating to this Guaranty, to the
non-exclusive in personam jurisdiction of any state or United States court of
competent jurisdiction sitting in the State of Florida and agrees to suit being
brought in any such court; (b) waives any objection that he may now or hereafter
have to the venue of such proceeding in any such court located in Dade County,
Florida or that such proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court; and (c)
agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of the Bank to effect service
of process in any manner permitted by law and that the Bank shall have the right
to bring any legal proceedings (including a proceeding for enforcement of a
judgment entered by any of the aforementioned courts) against the Guarantor in
any other court or jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law.

     Section 19. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE GUARANTOR AND (BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF)
THE AGENT AND THE BANKS EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has duly executed and delivered this
Guaranty as of the date first above written.

                          SUBSIDIARY SECURITY AGREEMENT

                           Dated as of March 2, 1998

     This SUBSIDIARY SECURITY AGREEMENT ("this Agreement") is made as of the
date set forth above by ______________________________, a _______ corporation
having an address at __________________________________________, (the
"Grantor"), in favor of NATIONSBANK, N.A., a national banking association having
an office at 100 S.E. 2nd Street, 15th Floor, Miami, Florida 33131 (the
"Agent"), as Agent under the Credit Agreement referred to below for the benefit
of the banks now or hereafter signatory thereto (the "Banks").

                                   BACKGROUND

     A. The Grantor has entered into a Guaranty Agreement in favor of the Agent
for the benefit of the Banks, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Guaranty", and the capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein
being used herein as therein defined), guaranteeing obligations of Precision
Response Corporation, a Florida corporation, (the "Borrower") to the Agent
and/or the Banks.

     B. The Grantor's business interests are closely intertwined with the
Borrower's and, accordingly, the Grantor will benefit substantially from the
Banks' making loans to the Borrower.

     C. It is a condition precedent to the Banks' making any loans under the
Credit Agreement that the Grantor shall have executed and delivered to the Agent
this Agreement.

                                   AGREEMENTS

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration (the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged) and in order to induce the Banks to make loans to the Borrower,
the Grantor hereby agrees as follows:

     Section 1. Grant of Security Interest. The Grantor hereby assigns and
pledges to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks, and hereby grants to the
Agent for the benefit of the Banks a security interest in, all of the Grantor's
right, title and interest in and to the following, in all cases whether now or
hereafter existing and whether now owned or hereafter acquired (the
"Collateral"):

          (a) All inventory in all of its forms, wherever located, (including,
but not limited to, (i) all raw materials and work in process therefor, all
finished goods thereof, and all materials

<PAGE>   109


used or consumed in the production thereof, (ii) all goods in which the Grantor
has a joint or other interest or right of any kind (including, without
limitation, goods in which the Grantor has an interest or right as consignee),
and (iii) all goods which are returned to or repossessed by the Grantor), and
all accessions thereto, products thereof and documents therefor (collectively,
the "Inventory");

          (b) All accounts, all chattel paper, all documents, all general
intangibles, all contract rights, all letters of credit and all other
obligations and rights of any kind, whether or not arising out of or in
connection with the sale or lease of goods or the rendering of services
(collectively, the "Receivables"), and all rights now or hereafter existing in
and to all security agreements, leases, and other contracts securing or
otherwise relating to any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Related
Contracts");

         (c) All notes, trade acceptances and other instruments (collectively,
the "Instruments");

         (d) All equipment, machines, motor vehicles, furnishings and fixtures,
all parts thereof, all accessories thereto and all replacements thereof
(collectively, the "Equipment");

         (e) All trademarks, trademark licenses, trade names, service marks,
logos, patents, and copyrights and the goodwill symbolized by any of the
foregoing (collectively, the "Marks" );

         (f) All books, records, programs and software relating to any of the
foregoing Collateral;

         (g) All other tangible or intangible personal property; and

         (h) All cash and non-cash proceeds of any and all of the foregoing
Collateral (including, without limitation, proceeds which constitute property of
the types described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this
section1) and, to the extent not otherwise included, all payments under
insurance (whether or not the Agent or any Bank is the loss payee thereof), or
any indemnity, warranty or guaranty payable by reason of loss or damage to or
otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing Collateral.

     Section 2. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures the payment of
all obligations and liabilities of the Grantor to the Banks or the Agent arising
under the Guaranty Agreement, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or
otherwise, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, whether direct or
indirect, whether absolute or contingent, whether joint or several and whether
acquired directly or by assignment, including without limitation the Obligations
(all such obligations and liabilities referred to in this section 2 being the
"Obligations").

     Section 3. Grantor Remains Liable. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, (a) the Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and
agreements included in the Collateral to which the Grantor is a party to the
extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder
to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise
by the Agent of any of the rights hereunder shall not release the Grantor from
any of its duties or


                                      -2-
<PAGE>   110

obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, and
neither the Agent nor any Bank shall have any obligation or liability under the
contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement,
nor shall the Agent or any Bank be obligated to perform any of the obligations
or duties of the Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce
any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

     Section 4. Representations and Warranties. The Grantor represents and
warrants (and, as long as any of the Obligations are unpaid or the Guaranty is
in effect, shall be deemed continuously to do so) as follows:

         (a) All of the Inventory of the Grantor that is not in Transit is
located at one of the addresses set forth in Schedule A hereto (or at such other
address in the United States of America as Guarantor shall advise Agent in
writing at least 10 Business Days prior to any of the Inventory being relocated
at such address, subject to Borrower executing and delivering to Agent a UCC-1
financing statement for the new jurisdiction). As of the date hereof, the chief
place of business and chief executive office of the Grantor is the address for
the Grantor set forth at the head of this Agreement, and the office where the
Grantor keeps its records concerning the Receivables, and all originals of all
chattel paper which evidence Receivables, is located there.

         (b) None of the Receivables is evidenced by a promissory note or other
instrument except such instruments as have been delivered and endorsed to the
Agent, and all of the Receivables consisting of accounts that arose out of bona
fide sales of goods that have been delivered by the Grantor or services that
have been performed by it.

         (c) The Grantor owns all the Collateral free and clear of any lien,
security interest, charge or encumbrance except the security interests created
hereby and those liens and security interests permitted under the Credit
Agreement (including those disclosed in Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement).
No effective financing statement, debenture or other instrument similar in
effect covering all or any part of the Collateral owned by the Grantor is on
file in any recording office except such as may have been filed in favor of the
Agent relating to this Agreement or with respect to those security interests
permitted under the Credit Agreement (including those disclosed in Section 6.07
of the Credit Agreement).

         (d) As of the date hereof, the Grantor has no trade name and has never
had, nor done business under, another name.

         (e) The Grantor has exclusive possession and control of the Inventory
and Equipment.

         (f) This Agreement creates a valid and perfected first priority
security interest in the Collateral owned by the Grantor securing the payment of
the Obligations to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks, and all filings and
any other actions necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such security
interest have been duly taken except a UCC-1 financing statement to be filed
with the Secretary of State of Florida and except a UCC-1 financing statement to
be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware with respect to Precision
Response of North America, Inc. and


                                      -3-

Precision Response of Colorado, Inc. and with Secretary of State of Colorado
with respect to Precision Response of Colorado, Inc., and with the Secretary of
State of New Jersey and Texas with respect to Precision Response of North
America Inc.

         (g) No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or
filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required either
(i) for the grant by the Grantor of the security interest granted hereby or for
the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Grantor or (ii)
for the perfection of or the exercise by the Agent of its rights and remedies
hereunder except UCC-1 financing statements to be filed as set forth above.

         (h) The Grantor has received adequate consideration and reasonably
equivalent value for entering into this Agreement and, in any event, will not be
rendered insolvent by it or left with unreasonably small capital to conduct its
businesses.

     Section 5. Further Assurances.

         (a) The Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of the
Grantor, the Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments
and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable,
or that the Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any
security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the
Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to
any of the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Grantor shall, upon reasonable notification by the Agent: (i) mark conspicuously
each document included in the Inventory and each chattel paper included in the
Receivables and each Related Contract and, at the request of the Agent, each of
its records pertaining to the Collateral, with a legend, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent, indicating that such document, chattel paper, Related
Contract or other Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereby;
(ii) if any Receivable shall be evidenced by a promissory note, other instrument
or chattel paper, deliver and pledge to the Agent hereunder such note,
instrument or chattel paper duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed
instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to
the Agent; and (iii) execute and file such financing or continuation statements
(or amendments thereto), notices of lien, debentures and other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Agent may request, in order
to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be
granted hereby.

         (b) The Grantor hereby authorizes the Agent to file one or more
financing or continuation statements (and amendments thereto) and notices of
Liens and make such other filings and registrations relative to all or any part
of the Collateral owned by the Grantor without the signature of the Grantor
where permitted or not prohibited by law. A carbon, photographic or other
reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the
Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

         (c) The Grantor shall furnish to the Agent from time to time statements
and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other
reports in connection with the Collateral as the Agent may reasonably request,
all in a form and with a degree of detail satisfactory to the Agent.


                                      -4-

     Section 6. Certain Covenants as to Inventory. As long as any of the
Obligations remain unpaid or the Guaranty is in effect, the Grantor shall:

         (a) Keep the Inventory owned by it at one of the places therefor
specified in Schedule A hereto unless it advises Agent that any of such
Inventory will be moved to another location in the United States of America at
least 10 Business Days prior to its relocation and executes appropriate UCC-1
financing statements for the new jurisdiction;

         (b) Keep the Inventory in good condition, in compliance in all material
respects with all government requirements for its sale, and generally saleable
in the ordinary course of such Grantor's business;

         (c) Pay promptly when due all property and other taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims (including claims
for labor, materials and supplies) against, the Inventory, except to the extent
the validity thereof is being contested in good faith and without jeopardizing
the value of the Inventory as security hereunder;

         (d) Permit the Agent and its agents to make inspections and audits of
the Inventory when and as often as the Bank considers necessary or desirable;
and

         (e) Not sell any Inventory except in the ordinary course of its
business substantially in the same manner as now conducted and in accordance
with Applicable Law.

     Section 7. Certain Covenants as to Receivables. As long as any of the
Obligations remain unpaid or the Guaranty is in effect:

          (a) Subject to providing Agent with 30 Days prior written notice as to
any change within the United States of America, and subject to execution by the
Grantor and delivery to Agent of UCC-1 financing statements for the new
jurisdiction, the Grantor shall keep its chief place of business and chief
executive office at the office specified at the head of this Agreement and shall
keep its records concerning the Receivables, and all originals of all chattel
paper which evidence Receivables there. The Grantor shall hold and preserve such
records and chattel paper and shall permit representatives or agents of the
Agent or any Bank at any reasonable time during normal business hours to inspect
and make abstracts from such records and chattel paper, to test the Receivables
and after an Event of Default to make inquiries of and give notice of the
security interests created hereby to the obligors of the Receivables.

         (b) Except as otherwise provided in this section 7(b), the Grantor
shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due
under the Receivables. In connection with such collections, the Grantor may take
(and, after an Event of Default, at the Agent's direction, shall take) such
action as the Grantor or the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce
collection of the Receivables; provided, however, that the Agent shall have the
right, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, regardless of
whether the Obligations have been accelerated, upon written notice to the
Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the account debtors


                                      -5-
<PAGE>   113
or obligors under any or all of the Receivables of the assignment of such
Receivables to the Agent and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make
payment of all amounts due or to become due thereunder directly to the Agent
and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Grantor, to enforce
collection of any such Receivables, and to adjust, settle or compromise the
amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as the
Grantor might have done. After receipt by the Grantor of the notice from the
Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and
proceeds (including instruments) received by the Grantor in respect of the
Receivables shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent hereunder,
shall be segregated from other funds of the Grantor and shall be forthwith paid
over to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
indorsement) to be held by the Agent as cash collateral and applied as provided
by Section 15(b), and (ii)the Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the
amount or payment of any Receivable, or release wholly or partly any account
debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon that is
material or outside the ordinary course of the Grantor's business. No account
party or obligor under a Receivable shall have any duty to inquire whether a
Default or an Event of Default has occurred before making payments directly to
the Agent. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent may settle or
adjust disputes and claims directly with the obligors of the Receivables for
amounts and on terms which the Agent considers advisable and in all such cases
only the net amounts received by the Agent in payment of such amounts (after
deduction of any amounts payable under section 16) need be applied to the
Obligations. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Grantor shall fully
cooperate with the Agent's efforts to collect the Receivables including
notifying and instructing the parties obligated on them to make payment to the
Agent rather than the Grantor.

         (c) The Grantor shall comply fully with its obligations under any
agreements included in the Receivables or Related Contracts and shall refrain
from any act or omission that would interfere with, or in any manner prevent,
the Agent's or the Banks' obtaining the full benefits of any of the Receivables
and Related Contracts.

     Section 8. Certain Covenants as to Equipment. As long as any of the
Obligations remain unpaid or the Guaranty is in effect:

         (a) The Grantor shall keep the Equipment owned by it at the addresses
for the Grantor specified in Schedule A hereto unless notice of any change to a
new address in the United States of America is provided to Agent at least 30
Days prior to the relocation of any such Equipment, and provided Grantor
executes and delivers to Agent a UCC-1 financing statement for the new
jurisdiction;

         (b) The Grantor shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the
Equipment except as otherwise permitted in Section 6.08 of the Credit Agreement.

         (c) The Grantor shall cause the Equipment owned by it to be maintained
and preserved in all material respects in the same condition, repair and working
order as when new, ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted, and in
accordance with any manufacturer's manual, and shall forthwith, or in the case
of any loss or damage to any of the Equipment as quickly as practicable after
the occurrence thereof, make or cause to be made all repairs, replacements, and


                                      -6-
<PAGE>   114

other improvements in connection therewith which are necessary or desirable to
such end and then required for the conduct of its business as presently
conducted, and shall promptly furnish to the Agent a statement respecting any
loss or damage to any material portions of the Equipment;

         (d) The Grantor shall pay promptly when due all property and other
taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all
material claims (including claims for labor, materials and supplies) against,
the Equipment except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in
good faith and without jeopardizing the value of the Equipment as security
hereunder.

     Section 9. Certain Covenants as to Instruments and Buyer Letters of Credit.
As long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or the Guaranty is in effect:

         (a) The Grantor shall deliver to the Agent each Instrument held by it
and each letter of credit (and each advice or confirmation of such a letter of
credit) of which it is the beneficiary (a "Buyer Letter of Credit"), with
whatever endorsements and instruments of transfer the Agent requires, to be held
by the Agent as long as this Agreement is in effect. For purposes of perfecting
the Agent's security interest therein, possession of an Instrument or a Buyer
Letter of Credit by an agent or correspondent of the Agent shall constitute
possession thereof by the Agent and any possession thereof by the Grantor shall
be construed as possession by a custodial agent for the Agent. The Grantor
shall, with respect to each Buyer Letter of Credit do whichever one or more of
the following is requested by the Agent from time to time: (i) notify the issuer
of (and negotiating of paying bank for)require such Buyer Letter of Credit to
make payment thereof to the Agent and procure the consent and agreement of such
issuer (and negotiating bank) to do so (ii) require such Buyer Letter of Credit
to be transferrable and to transfer the same to the Agent; and/or (iii) whatever
else the Agent may require to afford it the full benefit of such Buyer Letters
of Credit. After an Event of Default the Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes
the Agent to deposit into a cash collateral account any amounts received by the
Agent with respect to any Buyer Letter of Credit of which the Grantor is the
beneficiary (whether as the collecting or presenting bank or otherwise) or paid
out by the Agent as the negotiating or paying bank therefor.

         (b) The Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized (but not in any manner
obligated), in its sole discretion, after an Event of Default shall have
occurred, to collect any and all Instruments and Buyer Letters of Credit and to
apply the proceeds thereof against any of the Obligations (whether or not then
due). Nothing in this Agreement shall impose on the Agent any greater
responsibility with respect to any Instruments or Buyer Letters of Credit than
it would have under the International Chamber of Commerce Uniform Rules for
Collections, as modified by Agent's standard agreement, if any, regarding
documentary collections. The assignments and authorizations contained in this
section 9 (or elsewhere herein) shall not in any way release the Grantor of its
obligations to pay the Obligations in full, and the Grantor shall be fully
liable for any deficiencies. After an Event of Default the Grantor shall fully
cooperate with the Agent's efforts to collect the Instruments and Buyer Letters
of Credit including notifying and instructing the parties obligated on them to
make payment to the Agent rather than the Grantor and obtaining their consent to
doing so.


                                      -7-
<PAGE>   115
         (c) Nothing in this section 9 shall be construed or operate so as to
impose any obligation or duties on the Agent or any Bank. The powers conferred
on the Agent hereunder or solely to protect its interest in the Instruments and
the Buyer Letters of Credit and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any
such powers, except to use reasonable care in the custody of any Instruments and
Buyer Letters of Credit which the Agent has physical possession of itself (as
distinguished, for instance, from possession through a custodian or agent) and
accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder (as distinguished, for
instance, for monies received by a custodian or agent but not remitted to the
Agent). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not
have liability to the Grantor in connection with any misfeasance, malfeasance or
negligence on the part of any institutional custodian or agent whom the Agent
has selected in good faith, and no payment shall be considered to have been
received by the Agent merely by virtue of its having been received by such a
custodian or agent.

         (d) After an Event of Default, the Grantor shall not release any party
liable under an Instrument or Buyer Letter of Credit or do or agree to do
anything that would impair any Instrument's or Buyer Letter of Credit's value as
security hereunder.

     Section 10. Certain Covenants as to Marks. As long as any of the
Obligations remain unpaid or the Guaranty is in effect:

         (a) As of the date hereof, the Grantor represents and warrants that it
is the true and lawful owner or licensee of the Marks listed in Schedule B
hereto and that those Marks constitute all the Marks registered in the United
States Patent and Trademark Office that the Grantor now owns or uses in
connection with its business. As of the date hereof, the Grantor represents and
warrants that it owns or is licensed to use all Marks that it uses. As of the
date hereof, the Grantor further represents and warrants that it is aware of no
third party claim that any aspect of the Grantor's present or contemplated
business operations infringes or will infringe in any material respect any Mark.

         (b) The Grantor shall not divest itself of any right under a Mark
without the prior written consent of the Agent unless such Mark is no longer
necessary for its operation in any material respect.

         (c) The Grantor, promptly upon learning thereof, shall notify the Agent
in writing of the name and address of, and to furnish such pertinent information
that may be available with respect to, any party who may be infringing or
otherwise violating in any material respect any of the Grantor's rights in and
to any significant Mark, or with respect to any party claiming that the
Grantor's use of any significant Mark violates in any material respect any
property right of that party. The Grantor shall, unless otherwise directed by
the Agent, diligently prosecute any person materially infringing any significant
Mark to the extent such infringement would have a Material Adverse Effect.

         (d) The Grantor shall use its significant Marks in interstate commerce
during the time in which this Assignment is in effect, sufficiently to preserve
such Marks as trademarks or


                                       -8-

<PAGE>   116

service marks registered under the laws of the United States (unless such Mark
is no longer necessary for its operations in any material respect).

         (e) The Grantor shall, at its own expense, diligently process all
documents required by the Trademark Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C. sections 1051 et seq.
to maintain trademark registration material to its business or operations,
including but not limited to affidavits of use and applications for renewals of
registration in the United States Patent and Trademark Office for all of its
Marks pursuant to 15 U.S.C. sections 1058(a), 1059 and 1065, shall pay all fees
and disbursements in connection therewith, and shall not abandon any such filing
of affidavit of use or any such application of renewal prior to the exhaustion
of all administrative and judicial remedies without prior written consent of the
Required Banks. The Grantor shall notify the Agent six months prior to the dates
on which the affidavits of use or the applications for renewal registration are
due that the affidavit of use or the renewal is being processed.

          (f) If any Mark registration issues hereafter to the Grantor as a
result of any application now or hereafter pending before the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, within 30 days of receipt of such certificate, the
Grantor shall deliver a copy of such certificate, and a grant of security in
such mark to the Agent, confirming the grant thereof hereunder, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent.

          (g) If an Event of Default shall occur, and the due date of the
Obligations shall have been accelerated, the Agent, by written notice to the
Grantor, may take any or all of the following actions: (i) declare the entire
right, title and interest of the Grantor in and to each of the Marks, together
with all trademark rights and rights of protection to the same, vested, in which
event such rights, title and interest shall immediately vest, in the Agent for
the benefit of the Banks, in which case the Grantor agrees to execute an
assignment, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, of all its rights,
title and interest in and to the Marks to the Agent for the benefit of the
Banks; (ii) take and use or sell the Marks and the goodwill of the Grantor's
business symbolized by the Marks and the right to carry on the business and use
the assets of the Grantor in connection with which the Marks have been used; and
(iii) direct the Grantor to refrain, in which event the Grantor shall refrain,
from using the Marks in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, and, if
requested by the Agent, change the Grantor's corporate name to eliminate
therefrom any use of any Mark and execute such request to further confirm this
and to transfer ownership of the Marks and registrations and any pending
trademark application in the United States Patent and Trademark Office to the
Agent.

     Section 11. Insurance.

          (a) The Grantor shall, at its own expense, maintain insurance with
respect to the Inventory and the Equipment in such amounts, against such risks,
in such form and with such insurers, as shall be satisfactory to the Agent from
time to time. Each policy for property damage insurance shall provide for all
losses (except for losses of less than $2,000,000.00 per occurrence) to be paid
directly to the Agent. Each such policy shall in addition (i) name the Grantor
and the Agent as insured parties thereunder (without any representation or
warranty by or obligation upon the Agent) as their interests may appear, (ii)
contain the agreement by the insurer that any loss


                                      -9-
<PAGE>   117

thereunder (subject to the preceding sentence) shall be payable to the Agent
notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of representation or warranty by
the Grantor, (iii) provide that there shall be no recourse against the Agent for
payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto and (iv) provide that
at least ten days' prior written notice of cancellation or of lapse shall be
given to the Agent by the insurer. The Grantor shall, if so requested by the
Agent, deliver to the Agent original or duplicate policies of such insurance
and, as often as the Agent may reasonably request a report of reputable
insurance broker with respect to such insurance. Further, the Grantor shall, at
the request of the Agent, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of
such insurance policies to comply with the requirements of this Section11 and
cause the respective insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.

          (b) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by the
Grantor pursuant to this Section11 may be paid directly to the person who shall
have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of any loss involving
damage or Equipment or Inventory when subSection (c) of this Section 11 is not
applicable, the Grantor shall make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to
or replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance
maintained by the Grantor pursuant to this Section11 shall be paid to the
Grantor as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements.

          (c) Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, or (ii) the actual or constructive total loss (in excess of
$2,000,000.00, per occurrence) of any Inventory or Equipment, all insurance
payments in respect of such Inventory or Equipment shall be paid to and applied
by the Agent as specified in Section 15(b).

     Section 12. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints the Agent the Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor,
the Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Agent's discretion, to take any
action and to execute any instrument which the Agent may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without
limitation:

          (a)  to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Agent
pursuant to Section 11,

          (b) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and
give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in
respect of any of the Collateral,

         (c)  to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments,
documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause (a) or (b) above, and

         (d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
which the Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the
Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Grantor or the Agent with
respect to any of the Collateral.


                                      -10-
<PAGE>   118
     Section 13. Agent May Perform. If the Grantor fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, the Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Agent incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by the Grantor under section 16(b). The Grantor
assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral, and
the liability of the Grantor to pay the Obligations shall not be diminished or
otherwise affected by reason of any Collateral being uncollectible, lost,
destroyed, stolen, damaged or otherwise unavailable for any reason.

     Section 14. The Agent's Duties. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder
are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any
duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any
Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by
it hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the
taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any
other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

     Section 15. Remedies. If any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit
Agreement or in the Guaranty) shall have occurred:

          (a) The Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition
to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it,
all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect in the State of Florida (the "Code") (whether or not
the Code applies to the affected Collateral) and also may (i) require the
Grantor to, and the Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon
request of the Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by the Agent and make it available to the Agent at a place to be
designated by the Agent and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell
the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private
sale, at any of the Agent's offices or else where, for cash, on credit or for
future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially
reasonable. The Grantor agrees that with respect to Inventory and Equipment and
Marks at least 10 days' notice to the Grantor of the time and place of any
public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute fair and reasonable notification. The Agent shall not be obligated to
make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The
Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement
at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice,
be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

         (b) All cash proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral
may, in the discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent in a cash collateral
or suspense account (or otherwise) as collateral for, and/or then or at any time
thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Agent pursuant
to section 16) in whole or in part by the Agent against, all or any part of the
Obligations in such order as the Agent shall elect (subject, however, to section
8.03 of the Credit Agreement). The Grantor shall be fully liable for any
deficiency.

         (c) The Agent and the Banks shall not be liable to the Borrower as a
result of any commercially reasonable possession, repossession, collection or
sale by the Agent of the Collateral;

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   119

and the Borrower hereby waives the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and
exemption laws. If the Agent seeks to take possession of any of the Collateral
after an Event of Default by replevin or other court process, the Borrower
hereby irrevocably waives (i) the posting of any bonds, surety and security
relating thereto required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident
to such possession, (ii) any demand for possession of the Collateral prior to
the commencement of any suit or action to recover possession thereof, (iii) any
requirement that the Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral
subject to Agent otherwise complying with applicable law, and (iv) to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, all right to notice and hearing prior to the
exercise by the Agent of the Agent's right to repossess the Collateral without
judicial process or to replevy, attach or levy upon the Collateral without
notice or hearing. The Agent shall have no obligation to preserve rights to the
Collateral or to marshall any of the Collateral for the benefit of any Person.

          (d) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the
application of payments and proceeds of the Collateral.

          (e) The Agent's and the Banks' rights and remedies provided in this
Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, whatever rights and remedies
they have under the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law.

     Section 16. Indemnity and Expenses.

          (a) The Grantor shall indemnify the Agent and hold it harmless from
and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or
resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of
this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the Agent's
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          (b) The Grantor shall upon demand pay to the Agent the amount of any
and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of
its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Agent may incur in
connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement in connection with or
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) the custody, preservation, use
or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any
of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the
Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure by the Grantor to perform or observe any of
the provisions hereof.

     Section 17. Transfers and Other Liens. The Grantor shall not, without the
Agent's prior written consent:

          (a) Sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise

The Persons who become Banks under
the Credit Agreement referred to below

         Re:  Precision Response Corporation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to Precision Response Corporation, a Florida
corporation (the "Borrower"), and Tiger Construction, Inc., a Florida
corporation, Precision Relay Services, Inc., a Florida corporation, Precision
Response of Colorado, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Precision Response of
North America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively the "Guarantors," each
a "Guarantor," and the Borrower and the Guarantors being collectively the
"Credit Parties") in connection with a credit facility extended to the Borrower
by NationsBank, N.A. ("NationsBank") and possibly additional lenders
(NationsBank and such additional lenders being collectively the "Banks")
pursuant to a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), dated as of March __,
1998, by and among the Borrower, the Banks and NationsBank as the Agent (the
"Agent"). This opinion is rendered to you pursuant to ss.3.01(d) of the
aforesaid Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms
defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

         In connection with the opinion which follows, we have examined executed
original counterparts or executed photocopies of the following documents, each
dated on or as of March __, 1998 (collectively the "Loan Documents," and each a
"Loan Document"):


<PAGE>   125


NationsBank, N.A.
   - and -
The Persons who become Banks

Page 2

A. The Credit Agreement;

B. A Revolving Note executed by the Borrower to the order of NationsBank;

C. A Security Agreement executed by the Borrower and four (4) Subsidiary
Security Agreements, each executed by one of the Guarantors (individually a
"Security Agreement" and collectively the "Security Agreements");

D. 5 UCC-1 financing statements naming one or more of the Credit Parties, as
debtors, and the Agent, as secured party, to be filed with the Secretary of
State or other applicable state governmental authority of the States of Florida,
Delaware, Texas, New Jersey and Colorado (collectively, the "Financing
Statements"); and

E. Four (4) Guaranty Agreements, each executed by one of the Guarantors.

In addition, we have examined and relied upon, with your approval and without
independent investigation or verification, such other documents, records,
affidavits and certificates of public officials or officers of the Borrower
and/or each of the Guarantors as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the
purposes of the rendition of the opinions hereinafter set forth, including,
without limitation, (i) the factual representations and warranties of the
Borrower in the Credit Agreement, (ii) the articles of incorporation and bylaws
of the Borrower and each Guarantor, (iii) a good standing certificate for the
Borrower and each Guarantor from the states of their respective incorporation
and the state(s), if any, where they are currently qualified to do business as a
foreign corporation, and (iv) a certificate of resolutions from the secretary of
the Borrower and each Guarantor covering the resolutions of the Board of
Directors of each of them authorizing the loan transaction contemplated in or
pursuant to the Credit Agreement and indicating their respective officers
authorized to execute the Loan Documents and other related documents.

         For purposes of rendering this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the completeness and
conformity to original authentic documents of all documents submitted to us as
certified, conformed, facsimile or photostatic copies and the authenticity of
the originals of such documents.

         In furnishing certain opinions set forth herein, the words "to our
knowledge", "known to us" and similar words, signify that, in the course of our
representation of the Borrower, no facts have come to our attention that
constitute actual knowledge that would compel us to conclude that any such
opinions are not accurate. Further, the words "to our knowledge", "known to us"
and

NationsBank, N.A.
   - and -

under the Credit Agreement referred to below

Page 3



similar language as used in this opinion are limited to the actual knowledge of
the attorneys within our firm who have been directly involved in representing
the Credit Parties in this loan transaction.

         In reaching the opinions set forth below, with respect to each party
(other than the Credit Parties) to any of the Loan Documents or any other
document or agreement executed and delivered in connection with this loan
transaction [including, without limitation the Banks and the Agent], we have,
with your approval, assumed without investigation the following: (i) that such
party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under all
applicable laws and has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver
or accept the Loan Documents as to which it is a party and all related
instruments and perform the applicable provisions thereof; (ii) that all
documents executed or accepted by such party have been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered or accepted by it; (iii) that all documents
have mutuality of binding effect; (iv) that there is no legal restriction which
would prohibit or limit the execution, delivery, acceptance or performance of
the documents being executed and delivered by such party or the consummation of
any transaction therein contemplated or the enforceability of the applicable
Loan Documents against such party; and (v) that there is no requirement of
registration, consent, approval, license or authorization by any person or
governmental authority arising out of the execution, delivery, acceptance or
performance of any of the applicable documents by such party.

         Based upon the foregoing and subject to and limited by those matters,
assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the following
opinion:

1. The Borrower, Tiger Construction, Inc. and Precision Relay Services, Inc. are
each corporations duly organized and validly existing and each of their status
is active under the laws of the State of Florida. Precision Response of
Colorado, Inc. and Precision Response of North America, Inc. are each
corporations duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware.

2. The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of each Loan
Document to which such Credit Party is a party and the execution delivery and
filing of the Financing Statements are within such Credit Party's corporate
powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, do not
contravene (i) such Credit Party's articles of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) any
law, rule or regulation applicable to such Credit Party or any of its assets or
properties or (iii), to our knowledge, any indenture, contract or agreement to
which such Credit Party is bound, and do not result in or require the creation
of any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance (other than
pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon or with respect to any




<PAGE>   127


NationsBank, N.A.
   - and -
The Persons who become Banks
under the Credit Agreement referred to below

Page 4

of the assets or properties of such Credit Party. Each Credit Party has duly
executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is a party.

3. No authorization, order, license, franchise, consent or approval or other
action by, and no notice to or registration or filing with, any governmental
authority or regulatory body in the State of Florida or any political
subdivision thereof or under the corporate law of the State of Delaware is
required for (i) the due execution, delivery, recordation, filing or performance
by any Credit Party of any Loan Document to which it is a party or (ii) the
exercise by the Banks and the Agent of their rights under any Loan Document
except for the filing of the Financing Statements.

4. Each Loan Document is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Credit
Party that is a party to it, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance
with its terms.

5. To our knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action or proceeding
affecting any Credit Party before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator
which may materially adversely affect the financial condition or operations of
the Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole except as otherwise disclosed
to NationsBank.

6. Each Security Agreement creates valid security interests (the "Security
Interests") in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Banks in all personal
property of the Credit Party that is a party to it, as security for the payment
of the obligations of such Credit Party under the Loan Documents, whether for
principal, interest, fees, commissions or otherwise; and the Financing
Statements are in appropriate form for filing with the Secretary of States
and/or the applicable state governmental authority in the States of Florida,
Delaware, Texas, New Jersey and Colorado, which filings will result in the
perfection of the Security Interests created by such Security Agreement, except
for any collateral the perfection of a security interest in which cannot be
obtained by the filing of a Financing Statement with the Secretary of State or
applicable state governmental authority in the States of Florida, Delaware,
Texas, New Jersey and Colorado.

7. Assuming that all steps in connection with the execution and delivery of the
Loan Documents take place outside the State of Florida and the Loan Documents
are made, issued, executed, delivered, accepted, sold, assigned and transferred
outside of and not filed or recorded in the State of Florida (except the filing
of the Financing Statement with the Secretary of State of Florida), there should
be no documentary stamp, recording or similar taxes required to be paid in
connection with the execution, delivery, filing or enforcement of the Financing
Statement filed with the Secretary of State of Florida except for the standard
filing fees therefor collected by the Secretary of State of Florida.

8. To our knowledge, the Borrower owns all of the capital stock of each
Guarantor.

9. The provisions of the Loan Documents (without regard for any provisions
thereof limiting the payment of interest or any other sums thereunder to the
highest rate permitted by applicable law) will not violate any applicable law of
the State of Florida relating to usury, as long as the Banks do not reserve,
charge, collect or receive interest, as that term is defined in Chapter 687,
Florida Statutes, at a rate exceeding 25 percent per annum simple interest in
any year (computed in accordance with applicable statutory and case law).

         The opinions expressed herein are also subject to the following further
assumptions and qualifications: (a) the enforceability of any of the Loan
Documents may be subject to or limited or qualified by the effect of (i)
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance or transfer and other laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies generally, (ii)
general principles and requirements of commercial reasonableness, good faith,
fair dealing, conscionability and materiality (regardless of whether raised,
considered or enforced in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (iii) the
availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies generally (regardless of whether raised, considered or enforced in a
proceeding in equity or at law); (b) our opinions are limited solely to the law
of the State of Florida, the corporate law of the State of Delaware and the
federal law of the United States and no opinion is expressed concerning any
other law or concerning the extent to which any particular state or federal laws
apply; (c) our opinions are limited to the laws in effect and facts as to which
we are aware on the date hereof and we expressly disclaim any responsibility for
advising the addressees of any changes in law or facts that might change the
opinions set forth herein; (d) our opinions are limited to the matters expressly
stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters
expressly stated herein, and, without limiting the foregoing, no opinion is
rendered with respect to the ownership of, or state of title to, any Collateral
(as defined in the Security Agreement), the priority of liens created by or
under the Loan Documents or the perfection of a lien against any asset that
cannot be perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement with the
Secretary of State or applicable state governmental authority in the States of
Florida, Delaware, Texas, New Jersey and Colorado, or whether specific fees or
charges paid or contracted to be paid the Banks or Agent pursuant to the Loan
Documents constitute or may constitute interest; and (e) we express no opinion
with respect to or under the Loan Documents as to the availability of any
particular right or remedy upon a breach or default or that every provision of
the Loan Documents will be upheld or enforced in any or each circumstance by a
court, nor do we express any opinion with respect to the Loan Documents as to
the enforceability of (i) provisions related to consents or waiver of rights,
notices, defenses, remedies or the benefits of statutes of limitation; (ii)
procedures related to the manner of sale of the Collateral following any Event
of Default; (iii)

provisions for venue or jurisdiction of disputes; (iv) the manner of service of
process; (v) attorney-in-fact designations; or (vi) usury savings clauses. We
are, however, of the opinion that the foregoing provisions of subparagraph (e)
do not materially impair the rights and remedies against the Credit Parties
provided in the Loan Documents for the practical realization by the Banks of the
essential benefits furnished to them under the Loan Documents.

         This opinion is given for the sole use and benefit of, and may only be
relied upon by, the addressees hereof and their respective successors and
assigns in connection with the instant loan transaction; this opinion may not be
relied upon, and is not given for the benefit of, any other party, person or
entity whatsoever or in connection with any other transaction. This opinion may
not be quoted, circulated or published, in whole or in part, or furnished to any
other party without our specific prior written consent.

                                                     Very truly yours,

                             TAX INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

     This TAX INDEMNITY AGREEMENT is made and entered this 2nd day of March,
1998 by Precision Response Corporation, a Florida corporation ( the "Borrower"),
in favor of NationsBank, N.A., a national banking association (individually and
as agent for banks which may now or hereafter be participants in the Facility
(as hereinafter defined) including those specific banks listed in Exhibit A
attached hereto (if any) (collectively the "Banks").

                                   BACKGROUND

     A. Simultaneously with the execution of this instrument, the Banks have
agreed to extend to the Borrower a revolving credit facility (the "Facility")
and Borrower has executed one or more Revolving Notes (the "Notes"), each in
favor of one of the Banks, and a related Credit Agreement (together with the
Notes and the other documents executed in connection with the Facility, the
"Loan Documents");

     B. The Banks and the Borrower have each been advised by their counsel with
respect to whether the Facility and/or any of the Loan Documents are subject to
documentary stamp tax under Sections 201.08 or 201.09, Florida Statutes, as
amended, and other applicable laws and regulations;

     C. The Banks and the Borrower believe in good faith that the Facility and
the Notes and other Loan Documents are not subject to documentary stamp tax
because (1) the Notes are being executed by the Borrower outside of Florida and
physically delivered to the Banks outside of Florida, and (2) the Notes are not
secured by Florida real property and no security agreement is recorded in
Florida;

     D. The Borrower has not relied on any statement, representation, advice or
knowledge on the part of the Banks in the structuring or closing of the Facility
and is entering into and using the Facility regardless of whether any of the
Loan Documents are subject to documentary stamp tax; and

     E. In order to induce the Banks to make credit extensions under the
Facility, the Borrower has agreed to indemnify each Bank should it subsequently
be determined that the Notes or any other Loan Documents are subject to
documentary stamp tax.

                                   AGREEMENTS

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the credit extensions being made by the
Banks to the Borrower and other good and valuable considerations, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower agrees as
follows:

     1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated as a
part of this Agreement.


<PAGE>   131


     2. Simultaneously with the execution hereof, the Borrower shall execute and
deliver a completed copy of each Out-of-State Closing Affidavit provided by a
Bank and shall provide all other applicable documentation necessary to comply
with the requirements set forth above.

     3. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Banks harmless from and
against the payment of any and all documentary stamp tax due to the State of
Florida or any department or agency thereof in connection with the Facility, the
Notes and/or the other Loan Documents (as the same may be modified, extended or
renewed or any substitution thereof), together with all interest, fines,
penalties, costs or other charges thereon, regardless of when, or the party
against whom, the same may be assessed or imposed.

     4. In the event a documentary stamp tax assessment is made against any or
all of the parties hereto, the Borrower shall pay the full amount of such
assessment immediately. The Borrower shall not contest or otherwise challenge
the assessment except in connection with a request for a refund in accordance
with the applicable regulations adopted by the Florida Department of Revenue.

     5. The Borrower shall pay to the Banks, their successors and assigns, all
sums of money requested by each Bank hereunder, within 10 days of such request,
which such Bank shall or may advance, pay or cause to be paid, or become liable
to pay, on account of or in connection with the failure by the Borrower to pay
such documentary stamps and any interest and penalties associated therewith, and
shall make such payment to such Bank within 10 days after such Bank shall
request the same under the reasonable belief that such Bank has become liable
therefor. In any accounting which may be had between any Bank and the Borrower,
such Bank shall be entitled to charge for any and all disbursements made in
connection with the matters herein contemplated in good faith under the
reasonable belief that it is or was liable for the amounts so assessed.

     6. Upon failure of the Borrower to make payment hereunder within 10 days of
any Bank's request, the sums requested by any Bank shall bear interest at the
Post-Default Rate set forth in the Loan Documents.

     7. The Borrower waives all defenses to any action or actions by the Banks
to enforce the Loan Documents and credit extensions under the Facility or
collect the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes based upon the nonpayment of the
documentary stamp tax as provided in Section 201.08(l), Florida Statutes.

     8. The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall survive the
repayment of the credit extensions under the Facility and the indebtedness
evidenced by the Notes.

     9. Any default by the Borrower under the terms of this Agreement shall
constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and the Notes.

     10. In the event it becomes necessary for any Bank to institute litigation
or otherwise engage the services of an attorney to enforce the terms of this
Agreement against the Borrower, such



                                      -2-
<PAGE>   132

Bank shall be entitled to recover a reasonable attorney's fee and any other
costs incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement.

     11. In the event of an assignment of a Note, the Borrower agrees that this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the assignee of such Note and shall be
fully enforceable by the assignee of the Note.

     12. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Florida. The venue for any action pertaining to this
Agreement shall be in Dade County, Florida.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has executed this Agreement as of the day
and year first set forth above.
