This Agreement applies to the loan (the “Loan”) evidenced by that certain Sixth Amended and Restated Revolving Promissory Note dated of even date herewith (as the same my be amended, modified, restated or replaced from time to time, the “Note”) and all Loan Documents. The terms “Loan Documents” and “Obligations,” as used in this Agreement, are defined in the Note.

Relying upon the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, Bank is willing to extend credit to Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and Bank and Borrower agree as follows:

LINE OF CREDIT. The purpose of the Loan is to provide for the general corporate purposes of Borrower. To the extent the making of Advances (as defined in the Note) is not governed by a sweep agreement with the Bank, Bank may require a signed written request for an Advance in form satisfactory to Bank, in which event such request shall be delivered to Bank no later than 12:00 noon (local time in Fort Lauderdale, Florida) on the date of the requested Advance, and shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the proposed Advance and provide such other information as Bank may require. Bank’s acceptance of such a request shall be indicated by its making the Advance requested. Such an Advance shall be made available to Borrower in immediately available funds at Bank’s address as set forth on the front of this document. In no event shall Bank be obligated to make any Advances under the Loan after April 29, 2010 (as same may be renewed or extended by Bank in writing, the “Termination Date”).

Bank shall have no obligation to make an Advance under this Section if a Default has occurred or if any event or condition exists, which but for the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Default under any Loan Document.

REPRESENTATIONS. Borrower represents that from the date of this Agreement and until final payment in full of the Obligations: Accurate Information. All information now and hereafter furnished to Bank is and will be true, correct and complete in all material respects. Any such information relating to Borrower’s financial condition will accurately reflect Borrower’s financial condition as of the date(s) thereof (including all contingent liabilities of every type), and Borrower further represents in all material respects that since the date(s) of such documents, there has been no event that could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on its financial condition. Authorization; Non-Contravention.

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
(Hereinafter referred to as “Bank”)

Borrower promises to pay to the order of Bank, in lawful money of the United States of America, at its office indicated above or wherever else Bank may specify, the sum of Fifteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($15,000,000.00) or such sum as may be advanced and outstanding from time to time, with interest on the unpaid principal balance at the rate and on the terms provided in this Sixth Amended and Restated Revolving Promissory Note (including all renewals, extensions or modifications hereof, this “Note”).

LOAN AGREEMENT. This Note is subject to the provisions of that certain Sixth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement between Bank and Borrower dated of even date herewith (as the same shall be amended or modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).

LINE OF CREDIT. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow, and, upon the request of Borrower, Bank shall advance and readvance under this Note from time to time until the maturity hereof (each an “Advance” and together the “Advances”), so long as the total principal balance outstanding under this Note at any one time does not exceed the principal amount stated on the face of this Note, subject to the limitations described in any loan agreement to which this Note is subject. Bank’s obligation to make Advances under this Note shall terminate (i) if a Default (as defined in the other Loan Documents) under any Loan Document occurs, (ii) on Bank’s demand or (iii) in any event, on April 29, 2010, unless extended or renewed by Bank in writing. As of the date of each proposed Advance, Borrower shall be deemed to represent that each representation made in the Loan Documents is true as of such date.

USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the loan evidenced by this Note for general corporate purposes.

INTEREST RATE. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from the date hereof at the LIBOR Market Index Rate as that rate may change from day to day in accordance with changes in the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as set forth below), as that rate may change from day to day in accordance with changes in the LIBOR Market Index Rate (the “Interest Rate”). “LIBOR Market Index Rate”, for any day, means the rate for 1 month U.S. dollar deposits as reported on Telerate Successor Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such day, or if such day is not a London business day, then the immediately preceding London business day (or if not so reported, then as determined by Bank from another recognized source or interbank quotation).

For this Note, the “Applicable Margin” will be implemented and computed quarterly based on the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio of the Borrower. The initial Interest Rate shall be based on the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus an Applicable Margin of 125 basis points. Commencing on July 15, 2009, the Interest Rate shall be adjusted quarterly upon receipt of Borrower’s periodic financial statements, based on the ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA (“Funded Debt/EBITDA”) as follows:

For purposes hereof, “Funded Debt to EBITDA” shall mean the sum of all Funded Debt as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter divided by EBITDA for the 12-month period ended as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. “Funded Debt” shall mean, as applied to any person or entity, the sum of all indebtedness for borrowed money, (including, without limitation, capital lease obligations and unreimbursed drawings under letters of credit), or any other monetary obligation evidenced by a note, bond, debenture or other agreement or similar instrument of that person or entity, excluding any debt subordinated to Bank. “EBITDA” shall mean earnings before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization except that for this purpose earnings shall not include the effect of any non-cash stock based compensation.

DEFAULT RATE. In addition to all other rights contained in this Note, if a default in the payment of Obligations occurs, all outstanding Obligations, other than Obligations under any swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101) between Borrower and Bank or its affiliates, shall bear interest at the Interest Rate plus 3% (“Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall also apply from acceleration until the Obligations or any judgment thereon is paid in full.

INTEREST AND FEE(S) COMPUTATION (ACTUAL/360). Interest and fees, if any, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days in the applicable period (“Actual/360 Computation”). The Actual/360 Computation determines the annual effective interest yield by taking the stated (nominal) rate for a year’s period and then dividing said rate by 360 to determine the daily periodic rate to be applied for each day in the applicable period. Application of the Actual/360 Computation produces an annualized effective rate exceeding the nominal rate.

PREPAYMENT ALLOWED. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time. Any prepayment shall include accrued interest and all other sums then due under any of the Loan Documents (as defined below). No partial prepayment shall affect Borrower’s obligation to make any payment of principal or interest due under this Note on the date specified below in the Repayment Terms paragraph of this Note until this Note has been paid in full.

REPAYMENT TERMS. This Note shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly payments of accrued interest only, commencing on May 15, 2009, and continuing on the 15th day of each month thereafter until fully paid.
