following representations:

                  (a) All representations and warranties made by the Company in
the Financing Documents and the Note Documents are incorporated herein by

                  (d) The Company has the power to own its property and to
carry on its business as now being conducted and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned by it therein or in

enter into and execute and deliver each of the Financing Documents and the Note
Documents to which it is a party and to incur and perform the obligations
provided for herein and therein, all of which have been duly authorized by all
proper and necessary corporate action. No consent or approval of members or of
any other person or Governmental Authority or regulatory body is required as a
condition to the validity or enforceability of any of such Financing Documents
or Note Documents, or if required the same has been duly obtained. The Company
makes no representations as to compliance with federal securities laws or state
blue sky laws with respect to the Notes.

                  (f) The contemplated use of the Project is and will continue
to be in conformity with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, rules
and regulations (including, but not limited to, all Environmental Laws, the

rules and regulations), and all variances and exceptions granted with respect

proceeding, inquiry or investigation wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or
finding would in any way have an adverse effect on the Project, or its existing
or intended use, or the repayment of the Notes or the Obligations.

                  (g) The Company is in compliance with all applicable
governmental laws and regulations applicable to the conduct of its business and
the operation of the Project, the noncompliance with which would have a
Material Adverse Effect.

                  (h) All of the Financing Documents and Note Documents to
which the Company is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by the Company, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company
and are fully enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
respective terms.

                  (i) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of
the Financing Documents and Note Documents will not: conflict with or result in
a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the articles of
incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any of its Affiliates; result in a
breach of any governmental requirement applicable to the Company or any of its
Affiliates; conflict with, result in a breach of or require consent under any
agreement, instrument or indenture to which the Company or any of its
Affiliates is a party, or by which any of them or any of their property is
bound, or constitute (with notice, lapse of time, or both) a default
thereunder; result in the creation or imposition of any lien (other than the
Lien created by or under the Financing Documents) upon any of the property or
assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates; or result in or require the
acceleration of any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

                  (j) Except as described in the Loan Agreement, there are no
actions, claims, suits or proceedings pending, or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened against or directly involving the Company, at law or in
equity or before or by any Governmental Authority. The Company has received no
notice that it is in default with respect to any governmental requirement or
any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule, award or regulation of any
Governmental Authority.

                  (k) The Company is not in default under any contract,
agreement, commitment or other instrument which default would have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Company, or in the performance of any covenants or
conditions respecting any of its Indebtedness. No holder of any Indebtedness of
the Company has given notice of any asserted default thereunder. No liquidation
or dissolution of the Company and no receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other similar proceeding relative to the Company or its
properties is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, is contemplated or
threatened against it.

                  (l) All financial and other information heretofore furnished
to the Credit Institution concerning the Company and the Guarantors is complete
and correct and fairly presents the financial position of the Company and the
Guarantors. There are no liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent,
of the Company and the Guarantors except as reflected therein. There has been
no Material Adverse Change in the financial condition or operations of the
Company and the Guarantors since the most recent date as of which such
financial information has been furnished to 


                                      11


<PAGE>   15

the Credit Institution (and to the Company's knowledge no such Material Adverse
Change is pending or threatened). Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors
have guaranteed the obligations of, or made any investment in or advances to,
any person except as disclosed in such financial and other information provided
to the Credit Institution. Each of the Company and the Guarantors has good and
marketable title to all of its and their properties and assets, and all of such
properties and assets are free and clear of encumbrances, except as reflected
in such financial information.

                  (m) Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors is in
default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of its or their
Indebtedness for borrowed money, nor is the Company or any of the Guarantors in
default under any provision of any instrument under or subject to which any
Indebtedness for borrowed money has been incurred, and no event has occurred
and is continuing under the provisions of any such instrument that with the
lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an event of
default thereunder.

                  (n) No information (financial or otherwise) furnished by or
on behalf of the Company in connection with the negotiation of the issuance of
the Letter of Credit or the issuance of the Notes contains any untrue statement
of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary to make such information
not misleading. There is no fact that the Company has not disclosed to the
Credit Institution that materially adversely affects or so far as the Company
can now foresee based on facts known to it, and based on opinions of the
Company's directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors concerning such
facts, will materially adversely affect the properties, business, prospects,
profits or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the
Guarantors, the ability of the Company to acquire, construct, equip and operate
the Project, or the ability of the Company and the Guarantors to perform their
respective obligations under the Financing Documents.

                  (o) The Company is not a party to, or bound by, any contract,
the performance by Company under which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (p) Every draw under the Letter of Credit shall constitute,
without the necessity of specifically containing a written statement, a
representation and warranty by the Company that no Default or Event of Default
exists and that all representations and warranties by the Company contained in
this Agreement, the Note Documents and the other Financing Documents are true
and correct as of the date the advance is to be made.

                  (q) The proceeds of the Notes will be used by the Company
only for the purposes set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents and
Note Documents. The Company's uses of the proceeds are, and continue to be,
legal and proper corporate uses, and the uses are and will be consistent with
all applicable laws and regulations, as in effect from time to time. None of
the proceeds of the Notes will be used for the purposes of purchasing or
carrying any "margin stock" as defined in Regulation U, Regulation X, or
Regulation G of the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 221, 224, and 207,
respectively, or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which
was originally incurred to purchase or carry "margin stock," or for any other
purpose which might cause this transaction to be deemed a "purpose credit"
within the meaning given in Regulation U, Regulation X or Regulation G. The
Company is not engaged in the business of extending credit 


                                      12
<PAGE>   16

for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stocks. The Company, or any
Person acting on behalf of the Company, has not taken and will not take any
action which might cause any violation of Regulation U, Regulation X, or
Regulation G or any other regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System or any violation of Section 8 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 or any rule or regulation thereunder as now or hereafter in effect.

any jurisdiction have been filed and all taxes, assessments and other
governmental charges on the Company or on any of its respective properties,
income or franchises were paid timely, except for taxes contested in good faith
by appropriate legal proceedings for which reserves have been established in an
amount determined in accordance with GAAP. Other than current real estate taxes
and special assessments, there is no proposed tax assessment against the
Company, and there is no basis for any such assessment. No extension of time
for assessment or payment of any tax by the Company is in effect. The tax
returns of the Company have not been audited.

Group, and no Reportable Event (as defined in ERISA) has occurred or is
occurring.

pursuant thereto) of such Person is, an "executive officer," "director," or
"principal shareholder" (as those terms are defined in U.S.C. Section 375(b) or
in regulations promulgated pursuant thereto) of the Credit Institution, or of
any bank at which the Credit Institution maintains a "correspondent account" (as
such term is defined in such statute or regulations), or of any bank which
maintains a correspondent account with the Credit Institution.

                  (u) The Company has complied with, and will continue to comply
with, the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, 29 U.S.C. Section
200, ET SEQ., as amended from time to time (the "FLSA"), including specifically,
but without limitation, 29 U.S.C. Section 215(a). This representation and
warranty, and each reconfirmation hereof, shall constitute written assurance
from the Company, given as of the date hereof and as of the date of each

                  (v) To the best knowledge of the Company and except as
disclosed in writing to the Credit Institution, the operations of the Company
have been and are conducted in a manner such that said operations have not
created any level of regulatory concern with Environmental Laws or harm or
potential harm to third parties from material violation of any Environmental
Laws. The Company has obtained all material governmental authorizations under
Environmental Laws necessary to its operations, and all such governmental
authorizations are in good standing, and the Company is in compliance with all
material terms and conditions of such governmental authorizations.

Institution, to the best of the Company's knowledge, no Hazardous Materials
exist on, under, or about any property owned, leased, operated, or used by the
Company in a manner that has a reasonable possibility of giving rise to any
Environmental Claim that could have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has
not filed any notice or report of the Release of any Hazardous Materials that

                  (dd) The Company is solvent, and, after consummation of this
Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the Note Documents and the

solvent.

                  (ee) All of the representations and warranties by the Company
shall survive delivery of this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the
Note Documents. Any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of the
Credit Institution will not diminish the Credit Institution's right to rely on
the representations and warranties set forth herein and therein.

                  (ff) The Construction Contract is in full force and effect.
No event has occurred and is continuing under the provisions of the
Construction Contract that with lapse of time or giving of notice, or both,
would constitute an Event of Default thereunder.

                  (gg) The Company (a) has initiated a review and assessment of
all areas within its and each of its Subsidiaries' business and operations
(including those affected by suppliers, vendors and customers) that could be
adversely affected by the "Year 2000 Problem" (that is, the risk that computer
applications used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or suppliers,
vendors and customers) may be unable to recognize and perform properly
date-sensitive functions involving certain dates prior to and any date after
December 31, 1999), (b) will by March 31, 1999 have developed a plan and
timeline for addressing the Year 2000 Problem on a timely basis, and (c) will
implement that plan in accordance with that timetable. Based on the foregoing,
the Company believes that all computer applications (including those of its
suppliers, vendors and customers) that are material to its or any of its
Subsidiaries' business and operations are reasonably expected on a timely basis
to be able to perform properly date-sensitive functions for all dates before
and after January 1, 2000 (that is, be "Year 2000 compliant").

<PAGE>   19

will or will not agree to the requested extension. The Company acknowledges and
agrees that the Credit Institution shall have no obligation to extend the
Letter of Credit beyond February 22, 2002, and that the decision whether to

         AND DISBURSEMENTS FROM CONSTRUCTION FUND.

                  (a) The Company acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no
right to receive any disbursement from the Construction Fund unless it has
submitted a requisition to the Credit Institution in substantially the form
attached to the Indenture as Exhibit C relating to that disbursement and such
requisition has been approved by the Credit Institution as evidenced by its
execution thereof (the "REQUISITION"). The Company further agrees that it will
not submit any Requisition to the Trustee unless such Requisition has first
been submitted to the Credit Institution and approved by the Credit
Institution. Upon approval of the Requisition by the Credit Institution (which
approval shall be subject to fulfillment of the conditions listed herein), the
Credit Institution shall submit the Requisition directly to the Trustee on
behalf of the Company.

                  (b) Each Requisition shall be submitted by the Company to the
Credit Institution at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which
its approval is desired. The Credit Institution shall not be required to

requisition submitted by the Company, the following conditions precedent must
be satisfied unless waived by the Credit Institution in its sole and absolute
discretion:

of the site plan of the Project which site plan shall have been approved by all
governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Project, along with a
complete and final set of working plans and specifications which have been
approved by the Credit Institution, initialed for identification by the
Company, the Project Manager, and the architect for the Project and assigned to
the Credit Institution in form and substance satisfactory to the Credit
Institution. Any and all subsequent changes to the plans and specifications
must be approved by the Credit Institution (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld) and any governmental agencies having jurisdiction over
the Project whose approval may be required by applicable federal, state or
local laws, rules or regulations. Unless waived by the Credit Institution, all
such plans and specifications shall have been approved, prior to approval of
the first Requisition, by all necessary governmental agencies.

                       (iv) The Credit Institution shall have received copies
of the Company's contract with the Project Manager and the Company's contract
with the architect for the Project. The Project Manager, the architect for the
Project and the terms and conditions of their respective contracts must be
acceptable to the Credit Institution. The Construction Contract (and any
specified subcontracts) and the architect's contract shall be assigned to the
Credit Institution pursuant to the terms of the Assignment Agreement, as
additional security for the Company's obligations under this Agreement with the
concurrence of the Project Manager (and subcontractors) and the architect to
continue to perform under the contracts for the Credit Institution or its
assigns if the Company should default under the Financing Documents, the
Construction Contract (or subcontract) or the architect's contract, provided
that the Project Manager (and subcontractors) and the architect continue to be
paid in accordance with their respective contracts.

                       (v) The architect for the Project shall certify that the
hard costs set forth in the Cost Certificate and all updates thereof are fair
and reasonable and that the Cost Certificate and all updates thereof include
all items necessary to complete the Project fully in accordance with the final
approved plans and specifications. The Company shall also provide the Credit
Institution with copies of all executed contracts and material subcontracts and
a final construction budget and draw a schedule prepared by the Project Manager
and accepted by the Company. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, the
term "material subcontracts" shall mean any subcontract wherein the Company is
obligated to pay more than $100,000.00 thereunder.

                  (d) The Credit Institution shall have no obligation to
approve any Requisition unless, in connection with the Requisition, it has
received (i) if requested by the Credit Institution, copies of all contracts,
invoices, billings, paid receipts and other documents which relate to that
portion of the construction of the Project for which the Requisition was
submitted and support the amount of the Requisition, (ii) appropriate
construction lien waivers from the general contractor and each subcontractor
performing work or providing materials to be paid from the proceeds of the
Requisition, (iii) contractor's requisition forms which have been appropriately
signed by both the Project Manager and the architect and notarized, (iv) title
updates in form and substance satisfactory to the Credit Institution, and (v)

Institution.

                  (e) If in the reasonable determination of the Credit
Institution the unpaid balance of the cost to complete the Project at any time
exceeds the balance remaining in the Construction Fund, the Company shall, if
requested by the Credit Institution as a condition to approval of further
Requisitions, pay to the Trustee for deposit into the Construction Fund cash in
an amount that together with the amount of other undisbursed funds in the
Construction Fund equals the amount necessary to complete the Project. If the
actual costs within one of the cost categories set forth in the Cost
Certificate should be less than the allocated amount, at the Credit
Institution=s sole option, the additional funds may be allocated to other
categories as deemed appropriate by the Credit Institution. If the actual or
anticipated costs within any of such cost categories shall exceed the allocated
amount, further Requisitions for such costs need not be approved by the Credit
Institution until any costs or anticipated costs in excess of such projected
amounts shall be paid in cash by the Company to the Trustee for deposit into
the Construction Fund.

                  (f) The Credit Institution may withhold approval of any
Requisition or any part of any Requisition requesting a disbursement from the
Construction Fund, or terminate or limit payments by the Trustee from the
Construction Fund, on account of (i) the occurrence of Default or an Event of
Default hereunder, (ii) defective work with respect to the construction of the
Project not remedied to the satisfaction of the Credit Institution after notice
and opportunity to cure has been given, or work not performed in a good and
workmanlike fashion in all material respects in accordance with the approved
plans and specifications, (iii) claims or Liens filed by contractors, builders
or materialmen in connection with the construction of the Project that are not
bonded to the satisfaction of the Credit Institution within the time period
prescribed by the Credit Institution, or evidence indicating, in the opinion of
the Credit Institution, the probable filing of claims or Liens, (iv) failure or
inability of the Project Manager to make payments to subcontractors or for
materials or labor, (v) in the reasonable opinion of the Credit Institution,
the Project cannot be fully completed and all bills paid from funds not yet
disbursed from the Construction Fund or otherwise available to the Company,
(vi) failure of the Company to repair any damage to the Project, or any part
thereof, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Credit Institution within the
time period prescribed by the Credit Institution, (vii) condemnation of, or the
pendency of condemnation proceedings against the Project or any part thereof,
or (viii) the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or against the Company, or
any Guarantor. To the extent that the above grounds are removed and no Default
or Event of Default otherwise exists hereunder, the Credit Institution shall
approve Requisitions for funds withheld solely because of such grounds.

                  (g) No Requisition shall be approved unless all work done in
the construction and equipping of the Project to the date of such Requisition
has been done in a good and workmanlike manner, as determined by the Credit
Institution.

                  (h) Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, no
Requisition shall be approved for materials stored on the Project site unless
approved by the Credit Institution in its sole discretion on a case by case
basis. If materials are suitably stored on the Project site, insured and the
cost thereof does not exceed 10% of the Cost Certificate, the Credit
Institution agrees not to withhold approval of the Requisition submitted for
payment of such materials if all other conditions precedent for approval of
such Requisition are satisfied.

request from the Credit Institution, the Company shall provide to the Credit
Institution a foundation survey of the Project meeting the minimum technical

         Section 2.06 COST-BREAKDOWN UPDATES. As requested by the Credit
Institution from time to time as construction of the Project progresses, the
Company shall provide to the Credit Institution periodic updates of the Cost
Certificate for the Project.

         Section 2.07 CONSENT TO FINAL DISBURSEMENT FROM THE CONSTRUCTION FUND.

                  (e) Such other documents, agreements and other items as are
reasonably requested by the Credit Institution.

         Section 2.08 CAPITALIZED INTEREST. Notwithstanding the conditions for
approval of a Requisition set forth in Section 2.04 hereof, the Company is
authorized to allow the Trustee, without the necessity of a Requisition, to
release moneys on deposit in the Construction Fund for reimbursement to the

                                  ARTICLE III
                           REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION;
                     OTHER PAYMENTS; LETTER OF CREDIT FEES

         Section 3.01 REIMBURSEMENT AND OTHER PAYMENTS.

                  (a) The Company hereby agrees to establish an
interest-bearing escrow account with the Credit Institution known as the
Kellstrom Industries, Inc. Reimbursement Account (the "REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNT")
and to pay to the Credit Institution (and the Credit Institution is hereby
authorized to deduct from any and all operating accounts maintained by the
Company with the Credit Institution) the following amounts in the manner and at
the times set forth below:

                       (i) Any amounts in the appropriate subaccount of the
Reimbursement Account on the date any payment is due under any subparagraph
hereof shall be credited against the amount due. Any balance remaining in the
Reimbursement Account after the Termination Date and the payment of all
Obligations of the Company due the Credit Institution hereunder and under all
of the other Financing Documents and the Note Documents shall be paid to the
Company.

                       (ii) On or before the first Business Day of each month,
beginning in the first month prior to the earlier of the date amounts in the
Construction Fund are no longer available, or amounts in the Construction Fund
are no longer authorized to be used to reimburse the Credit Institution for an
"A Drawing" pursuant to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 2.08,
the Company shall deposit an amount equal to the Interest Requirement in the
interest subaccount of the Reimbursement Account and the Company shall, on the
first Business Day of each month thereafter, pay the Credit Institution for
deposit in the interest subaccount of the Reimbursement Account an amount equal
to the "A Drawing" made in the previous month, in order to reimburse the Credit
Institution for the amounts it advanced under an "A Drawing", which amounts
when paid by the Company shall be deposited in the interest subaccount of the
Reimbursement Account. The amounts received by the Credit Institution pursuant
to this subparagraph shall be deposited in the interest subaccount of the
Reimbursement Account and shall be debited by the Credit Institution as
necessary to reimburse the Credit Institution for an "A Drawing".

                       (iii) Each January 15 (or the next succeeding Business
Day) during the term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Credit
Institution for deposit in the principal subaccount of the Reimbursement
Account the amounts the Credit Institution will be required to advance under
each "A Drawing" on the next succeeding interest payment date for the Notes in
accordance with the provisions for optional redemptions set forth in Schedule
3.01(a) attached hereto, which amounts shall not be less than the amount shown
on Schedule 3.01(a) for such interest payment date. The principal amounts
received by the Credit Institution pursuant to this subparagraph shall be
deposited in the principal subaccount of the Reimbursement Account and shall 


                                      22
<PAGE>   26


be debited by the Credit Institution as necessary to reimburse the Credit
Institution for an "A Drawing" in connection with an optional redemption of the
Notes. In the event the Trustee credits the amount to be drawn under the Letter
of Credit for any principal payment made otherwise than from a draw on the
Letter of Credit, a corresponding credit shall be granted to the Company for
the amounts due hereunder. The Company hereby covenants to give the Trustee
written instructions by January 1 (or the next succeeding Business Day) to give
notice of optional redemption of the Notes in the manner provided in the
Indenture for the optional redemption of the Notes, in part, on each February 1
(or the next succeeding Business Day) as shown on Schedule 3.01(a) during the
term of this Agreement. Subject to credits available to the Company described
in the next preceding sentence, unless waived by the Credit Institution in a
writing delivered to the Trustee prior to the date notice of optional
redemption is given, the minimum amount of each optional redemption described
above shall be the amount shown on Schedule 3.01(a).

                  (b) In the event of a "B Drawing" under the Letter of Credit
to purchase Notes for the account of the Company pursuant to optional or
mandatory tenders under the provisions of the Indenture, the Company shall
continue to make the payments required by subparagraph (a)(iii) above, and such
payments shall be applied first to optionally redeem Notes purchased with the
proceeds of such "B Drawing" and held for the account of the Company or the
Credit Institution as of any optional redemption date provided for in the
Indenture. The Company shall cause all amounts received from the remarketing of
such Notes prior to any optional redemption date provided for in the Indenture
to be paid to the Credit Institution to reimburse it for the amount of such "B
Drawing." On the Termination Date, the Company shall pay the Credit Institution
the aggregate amount of any and all "B Drawings" that have not been previously
reimbursed, subject to the applicable interest charges described herein for
such late reimbursement and subject to a credit for any amounts available
therefor in the principal subaccount of the Reimbursement Account.

                  (c) In the event of a "C Drawing" under the Letter of Credit
to make payments due on the Notes as a result of any other redemption or
acceleration of the Notes as provided in the Indenture, the Company shall by no
later than 12:00 noon (Dallas, Texas time) on the day of such "C Drawing" pay
to the Credit Institution an amount sufficient to reimburse the Credit
Institution for such "C Drawing" to the extent funds are not available in the
principal subaccount of the Reimbursement Account to cover such "C Drawing"
reimbursement.

                  (d) In the event of a "B Drawing" under the Letter of Credit
pursuant to subparagraph (b) above, the Company shall pay the Credit
Institution interest on the entire amount of such "B Drawing" at the Prime Rate
from the date of the draw until such amount is reimbursed in full, which
interest shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month,
on the Termination Date or on an earlier date of reimbursement pursuant to
Section 3.06 hereof; provided, however, that if an Event of Default occurs
hereunder prior to the date the entire amount of such "B Drawing" has been
reimbursed in full, then from and after the date of such Event of Default such
unreimbursed amount shall bear interest at the lesser of the maximum rate
permitted by law or eighteen percent (18%) per annum until it has been repaid
in full.

                  (e) In the event, if as a result of an "A Drawing," the
Credit Institution pays any amount under the Letter of Credit in excess of the
amount in the Reimbursement Account applied

                                      23


<PAGE>   27

to reimburse the Credit Institution therefor, the Company shall upon demand
immediately reimburse the Credit Institution for such amount. Any amounts not
so paid shall bear interest at the lesser of the maximum rate permitted by law
or eighteen percent (18%) per annum, which interest shall be payable on demand
and failure to so reimburse shall be an Event of Default hereunder.

                  (f) In the event the payments required by subparagraph (c),
or (e) above and (h) or (i) below are not made on the due date thereof, it
shall be an Event of Default hereunder and the Company shall pay the Credit
Institution interest on such outstanding amounts from the due date thereof
until such amounts are paid in full at the lesser of the maximum rate permitted
by law or eighteen percent (18%) per annum and failure to so reimburse shall be
an Event of Default hereunder.

                  (g) In the event the Credit Institution holds Notes pursuant
to the provisions of Section 3.06 hereof as pledgee or for its own account
pursuant to a "B Drawing" and it receives payment in full for such Notes and
for all amounts due to it under this Agreement, the Credit Institution shall
release such Notes to the Fiscal Agent as provided in the Indenture.

                  (h) The Company shall pay the Credit Institution upon each
transfer of the Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms to any new
Trustee appointed under the Indenture, such amount (and interest on such amount
at the Prime Rate) as shall at the time of any transfer then be the charge
which the Credit Institution is customarily making for transfer of similar
letters of credit.

                  (i) The Company shall pay the Credit Institution on demand
any and all reasonable charges and expenses, including reasonable legal fees
(and interest on such amounts at the Prime Rate), which the Credit Institution
may pay or incur relative to the Letter of Credit or in reviewing,
interpreting, administering or enforcing any of its rights or responsibilities
under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents.

         Section 3.02 FEES.

                  (a) On the Date of Issuance, the Company shall pay to the
Credit Institution a one-time internal construction administration fee of
$5,000.00. In addition to any other fees payable to the Credit Institution, the
Company shall pay to the Credit Institution a fee with respect to the Letter of
Credit equal to one percent (1%) per annum of the Initial Stated Amount of the
Letter of Credit for the first year and of the Stated Amount of the Letter of
Credit then in effect for each year thereafter as it is reduced from time to
time by virtue of an "A Drawing" to redeem the principal of the Notes but not
"B Drawings" to purchase Notes subject to optional or mandatory tender and as
so determined on the date each fee payment is due. The full amount of such fee
shall be paid by the Company in advance for each year (except for the payment
due on the Date of Issuance) or portion of a year that the Letter of Credit is
outstanding (beginning on the Date of Issuance and each Anniversary Date
thereof) from the Date of Issuance until the Termination Date. The fee (herein,
the "LETTER OF CREDIT FEE") shall be prepaid in full no later than fifteen (15)
days prior to the first and each successive Anniversary Date, and in all cases
shall be deemed earned upon receipt by the Credit Institution. Except as
provided in the next succeeding sentence, there shall be no refund of any
portion of such prepaid fee by reason of expiration, reduction,
recertification, termination,



                                      24


<PAGE>   28


redemption or prepayment of any of the Stated Amount, the Letter of Credit or
the Notes subsequent to the date of receipt of such fee by the Credit
Institution. Notwithstanding the next preceding sentence, if the Obligations
under this Agreement shall ever be recast as a new loan with Credit
Institution, the Company shall receive a pro rata credit for any fees that have
been paid in advance as described above.

         Section 3.03 SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS.

                  (a) If after the Date of Issuance (i) the Credit Institution
determines or acquiesces in the determination by a court or administrative or
Governmental Authority that its obligations under this Agreement or the Letter
of Credit are a deposit insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company
(AFDIC@) or (ii) the Credit Institution determines that any law or regulation,
or any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any
court or administrative or Governmental Authority charged with the
administration thereof shall either (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any
insurance (including, without limitation, FDIC insurance), reserve, capital
adequacy, special deposit or similar requirement for or against letters of
credit issued or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, the
Credit Institution or (B) impose on the Credit Institution any other condition
regarding this Agreement or the Letter of Credit, including any relating to
capital adequacy, and the result of any event referred to in clause (a)(i) or
(ii) above shall be to increase the cost to the Credit Institution of issuing
or maintaining the Letter of Credit (which increase in cost shall be the result
of the Credit Institution's reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost
increases resulting from such events and shall be calculated without giving
effect to any participation granted in the Letter of Credit) then, upon demand
by the Credit Institution, the Company shall immediately pay to the Credit
Institution all additional amounts which are necessary to compensate the Credit
Institution for such increased cost incurred by the Credit Institution. A
certificate as to such increased cost incurred by the Credit Institution as a
result of any event referred to in clause (a)(i) or (ii) above submitted by the
Credit Institution to the Company shall be conclusive, absent manifest error,
as to the amount thereof.

                  (b) The Company shall also pay interest on such increased
costs at the highest rate of interest permitted from time to time by applicable
law from the date of such change until such amount is paid in full.

         Section 3.04 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST: FORM AND PLACE OF PAYMENT. The
interest payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the actual number

                  (a) In the event the Remarketing Agent is able to remarket
any Notes as of the date of any "B Drawing" and the proceeds of such

purchased with the proceeds of such drawing but only to the extent of such

Notes held by the Credit Institution as pledgee or for its own account are to
be remarketed and upon payment to the Credit Institution of the proceeds
thereof and all accrued interest which is due the Credit Institution on the "B
Drawing" used to purchase such Notes, the Credit Institution shall release to
the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, for delivery to the purchasers thereof, a
principal amount of Notes equal to the principal amount of such payment from

                   COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY; OTHER AGREEMENTS

         Section 4.01 SPECIAL COVENANTS OF COMPANY. All covenants of the
Company in the other Financing Documents and the Note Documents to which it is
a party, to the extent not inconsistent herewith, are incorporated herein by
reference and shall be deemed thereby to have been made and reaffirmed by the
Company for the benefit of the Credit Institution as if they were fully set
forth herein. The Company shall give the Credit Institution written notice
prior to any amendment of the Financing Documents that affects any covenants of
the Company; all such amendments shall be incorporated herein as if set forth
herein. The Company hereby further covenants and agrees that until the
Termination Date and payment to the Credit Institution of all amounts due and
performance of all other Obligations of the Company under the Financing
Documents and the Note Documents to which it is a party, it shall comply with
the following additional affirmative and negative covenants, unless the Credit
Institution shall otherwise consent in writing:

                  (a) ACCESS TO PROJECT AND RECORDS. The Company shall at any
reasonable time and from time to time, upon reasonable prior notice from the
Credit Institution, permit the Credit Institution or any agents or
representatives thereof (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from
all relevant records and books of account of the Company, (ii) to discuss all
relevant affairs, finances and accounts of the Company with any of its officers
so designated by the Company to provide such information, and (iii) to inspect
the Project. ANY APPROVAL BY THE CREDIT INSTITUTION OF ANY PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS RELATING TO THE PROJECT AND ANY INSPECTIONS OF THE PROJECT BY
THE CREDIT INSTITUTION SHALL IN NO WAY CONSTITUTE A WARRANTY TO ANY PARTY AS TO
THE TECHNICAL SUFFICIENCY OR ADEQUACY OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT, OR
THE STRUCTURAL, SOIL OR, ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OF THE FACILITIES.

                  (b) PREPAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. In addition to the Company's
optional redemption of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii) hereof, the
Company may cause, at any time, any optional prepayment of the Obligations as
may be permitted under the Financing Documents and direct any corresponding
optional redemption of Notes as may be permitted under the Indenture by
providing the Credit Institution with notice of the desired prepayment and by
making satisfactory arrangements with the Credit Institution for reimbursing
the Credit Institution in full for the "A Drawing" on the Letter of Credit
necessary to effect such redemption of the Notes by no later than the date on
which the Trustee first sends notice thereof to the owners of the Notes.
Thereupon the Credit Institution shall notify the Trustee to begin redemption
proceedings and to draw on the Letter of Credit as required by the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not prepay the Obligations (and
direct a corresponding optional redemption of the Notes) in part from proceeds
of an insurance recovery or condemnation award with respect to the Project
unless the Company has first obtained the prior written consent of the Credit
Institution.

shall comply with all valid and applicable statutes, rules and regulations, and
shall pay all taxes, assessments, governmental charges, claims for labor,
supplies and rent, and other obligations which, if unpaid, might become a Lien
against the Project (except liabilities being contested in good faith and

reserves satisfactory to the Credit Institution).

                  (f) SALE OR LEASE OF THE PROJECT. The Company shall not sell,
lease or otherwise assign any interest in the Project or any portion thereof to

the Credit Institution in the event the Company discovers or determines that
any computer application (including those of its suppliers, vendors and
customers) that is material to its or any of its Subsidiaries' business and
operations will not be Year 2000 compliant (as defined in Section 2.01 (gg)).

                  (i) AMENDMENT OF FINANCING DOCUMENTS. The Company shall not
amend or consent to the amendment of any of the Financing Documents without the
prior written consent of the Credit Institution.

                  (j) SUBSTITUTE LETTER OF CREDIT. Except during any period a
default or event of default under any Financing Documents has occurred and is
continuing the Company shall be authorized to provide a Substitute Letter of
Credit for the Notes.

                  (k) CERTIFICATE AS TO NO DEFAULT. The Company shall furnish
to the Credit Institution within 120 days after the close of each of its fiscal
years a certificate signed by the President and the Chief Financial Officer of
the Company stating that during such fiscal year and as of the date of such
certificate no event or condition has happened or existed or is happening or
existing, which constitutes a default or event of default under any Financing
Documents or with notice or lapse of time or both would be an Event of Default,
or if such an event or condition has occurred or is occurring, specifying the
nature and period of such event or condition and what action the Company has
taken, is taking and proposes to take with respect thereto.

the principal amount of the Notes will not exceed 75% of the lesser of the
appraised value or the cost of the property covered by the Project. The Company
shall demonstrate compliance with this covenant on a quarterly basis. The "cost
of the property" shall mean the purchase price of the Project Site plus the

terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever, and shall be
absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional.

CREDIT. The reduction and reinstatement of the Stated Amount by virtue of
drawings under the Letter of Credit shall be as provided therein.

         Section 4.05 SURVIVAL OF COMMITMENT. The terms and conditions of the
Commitment Letter shall survive the issuance of the Letter of Credit to the
extent they are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the other
Financing Documents (which shall control to the extent of any inconsistency),
and failure to comply therewith shall constitute a Default hereunder.

         Section 4.06 TERMINATION OF LOAN AGREEMENT. If the Loan Agreement is
not renewed or extended, or is terminated before maturity during the term of
the Letter of Credit, the Company shall within forty-five (45) days of such
termination redeem all outstanding Notes and reimburse the Credit Institution
in full for all amounts owing by the Company to the Credit Institution. Failure

Agreement.

failure to give notice of nonpayment shall not toll the five (5) day grace
period if in fact (as determined by admission of an officer of the Company or
by a court of competent jurisdiction), an officer of the Company had
independent actual notice of such nonpayment, and provided further that no
additional grace period shall apply in the event of a violation of Section 4.06
hereof;

                  (c) If, for any reason (other than release by the Credit

<PAGE>   35

         Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement, the
Credit Institution, by notice to the Company, may (in its sole discretion) but
shall not be obligated to (i) declare all amounts outstanding and payable by
the Company under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, and the same
shall thereupon become immediately due and payable without demand, presentment,
protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived
and (ii) pursue any other remedy permitted to the Credit Institution under the
Financing Documents under any other collateral agreements securing the
Company's obligations hereunder, or at law or in equity, including but not
limited to directing the Trustee to accelerate and make a Default Drawing under
the Letter of Credit to pay or purchase the Notes in accordance with Sections
8.02 and 8.03 of the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder, the Credit Institution may also exercise any right of a secured
party under the UCC of the State of Florida as to (i) any Notes held by it as

Account, and (iii) the other Collateral.

         Section 5.02 NO WAIVER: REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No failure by the Credit
Institution to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right under this Agreement preclude any other further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. No waiver under this Agreement
shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Company and the Credit
Institution, and, unless otherwise specified in such waiver, shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and

compliance with the terms hereof in any subsequent instance, whether similar or
dissimilar. The remedies in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of
any remedies provided by law.


                                   ARTICLE VI
                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         Section 6.01 RIGHT OF SET-OFF. In addition to any other right or
remedy that the Credit Institution may have by operation of law or otherwise,
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Agreement the Credit
Institution shall be entitled to exercise its banker's lien upon and its right
to setoff any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys at any
time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Credit Institution to
or for the credit or account of the Company and apply the same against the
payment of any and all of the obligations of the Company now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents.

         Section 6.02 LIABILITIES. All acts, including any failure to act,
relating to the Project and the issuance of the Notes and the Letter of Credit
by any director, officer, employee, agent, representative or designee of the
Credit Institution are performed solely for the benefit of the Credit
Institution to assure repayment of the Company's obligations to the Credit
Institution hereunder and under the other Financing Documents are not for the
benefit of the Company or the benefit of any other person. Under no
circumstances whatsoever shall the Credit Institution, its directors, officers
or employees, be deemed to assume any responsibility for, or obligation or duty
with respect to, any part or all of the collateral of any nature or kind
whatsoever, or in any matter or proceedings arising out of or relating thereto.
The Credit Institution shall not be required to take any action of any kind to
collect or protect any interest in the collateral, including but not limited
to, the taking of any action 


                                      32
<PAGE>   36

necessary to preserve the Credit Institution, the Company or rights against
prior parties to any of the collateral. To the extent permitted by law, the
Credit Institution shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the
safekeeping, care or custody of any of the collateral, for any loss or damage
thereto or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default
of the Company or any of their agents or any third party, but the safekeeping
shall be at the Company's sole risk at all times. Neither the Credit
Institution nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable or
responsible for: (a) the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit or
moneys drawn thereunder or for any acts or omissions of the Trustee and any
beneficiary in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or
genuineness of documents, or of any endorsements thereon, even if such
documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the Credit Institution
against presentation of documents provided such documents on their face appear
to be in order and in compliance with the Letter of Credit; and (d) any other
circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under the Letter
of Credit, except only that the Company shall have a claim against the Credit
Institution, and the Credit Institution shall be liable to the Company, to the
extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential,
damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by (i) the
Credit Institution's negligence in determining whether documents presented
under the Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or
(ii) the Credit Institution's willful failure to pay under the Letter of Credit
after the presentation to it by the Trustee or a successor trustee of a sight
draft and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the
Letter of Credit (absent issuance of a court order purporting to enjoin such
payment). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Credit
Institution may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order,
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary.

         Section 6.03 CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. The Company hereby
consents to process being served in any suit, action, or proceeding instituted
in connection with this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and any
related documents by (i) the mailing of a copy thereof by certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Company at the address
provided in Section 6.08 hereof; and (ii) serving a copy thereof upon Michael
Wallace, who is the agent irrevocably designated and appointed by the Company
as the Company's agent for service of process by or pursuant to the provisions
hereof. The Company irrevocably agrees that upon receipt of both such notices,
such notices shall be deemed to be service of process upon the Company in any
such suit, action or proceeding. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the
right of the Credit Institution to serve process in any manner otherwise
permitted by law.

         Section 6.04 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. The Company will, upon not less
than ten (10) days' request by the Credit Institution, execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Credit Institution or to such other person(s) as the Credit
Institution shall identify a statement in writing, certifying (a) that this
Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect and the payments required
by this Agreement to be paid by the Company have been paid, and (b) the then
unpaid principal balance of the Obligations arising hereunder; and stating
whether or not to the knowledge of the signer of such certificate any party to
any of the Financing Documents or the Note Documents, is in default in the
performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained therein and, if
so, specifying each such default of which the signer may have knowledge, it
being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this section may
be relied upon by the Credit Institution and such other person(s) to whom such
statement is made.

Documents, and complied with all other provisions and conditions herein and
therein.
