Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, Watsco, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), is a party with you to that certain Private Shelf Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2000 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "2000 Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company has issued Notes. The Company has requested and you have agreed (on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth) to amend and restate the 2000 Agreement in its entirety as set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree that the 2000 Agreement shall be and hereby is amended and restated effective as of the date hereof to read in its entirety as follows:

1. PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS.

1A.Authorization and Issue of Series A Notes. The Company has authorized and issued Senior Series A Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000, dated February 7, 2001 to mature April 9, 2007 and bearing interest at 7.07% per annum on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof until the principal thereof shall have become due and payable (the "Issued Series A Notes"). The Company will authorize and agree to execute an Allonge, in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 (each an "Allonge"), for each Issued Series A Note issued and outstanding as of the date hereof. The terms "Issued Series A Note" and "Issued Series A Notes" as used herein shall include each Issued Series A Note previously delivered pursuant to

the 2000 Agreement, as amended by such Allonge, and any such Note delivered in substitution or exchange therefor.

1B. Authorization of Issue of Notes. The Company may authorize the issue of its senior unsecured promissory notes (the "Shelf Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of up to $125,000,000, to be dated the date of issue thereof, to mature, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, no more than twelve years after the date of original issuance thereof, to have an average life, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, of no more than ten years after the date of original issuance thereof, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at the rate per annum, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, in the Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to such Shelf Note delivered pursuant to paragraph 2G, and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 attached hereto. The terms "Shelf Note" and "Shelf Notes" as used herein shall include each Issued Series A Note and each Shelf Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Shelf Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Shelf Note pursuant to any such provision. The terms "Note" and "Notes" as used herein shall include each Issued Series A Note and each Shelf Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Note pursuant to any such provision. Notes which have (i) the same final maturity, (ii) the same principal prepayment dates, (iii) the same principal prepayment amounts (as a percentage of the original principal amount of each Note), (iv) the same interest rate, (v) the same interest payment periods and (vi) the same date of issuance (which, in the case of a Note issued in exchange for another Note, shall be deemed for these purposes the date on which such Note's ultimate predecessor Note was issued), are herein called a "Series" of Notes.

2. PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES.

2A.Purchase and Sale of Issued Notes. On February 7, 2001, the Company sold to you the Issued Series A Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver to you and, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, you agree to accept from the Company, for each Issued Series A Note, an Allonge, in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1.

2B.Purchase and Sale of Shelf Notes.

2B(1) Facility. Prudential is willing to consider, in its sole discretion and within limits which may be authorized for purchase by Prudential and Prudential Affiliates from time to time, the purchase of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement. The willingness of Prudential to consider such purchase of Shelf Notes is herein called the "Facility". At any time, the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes stated in paragraph 1B, minus the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement prior to such time, minus the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Notes (as hereinafter defined) which have not yet been purchased and sold hereunder prior to such time, plus the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement and thereafter retired prior to such time is herein called the "Available Facility Amount" at such time.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF PRUDENTIAL TO CONSIDER PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT

NEITHER PRUDENTIAL NOR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE SHELF NOTES, OR TO QUOTE RATES, SPREADS OR OTHER TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, AND THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY PRUDENTIAL OR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE.

2C. Issuance Period. Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier of:

(i) January 31, 2006;

(ii) the thirtieth day after Prudential shall have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to Prudential, a notice stating that it elects to terminate the issuance and sale of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such thirtieth day is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such thirtieth day),

(iii) the last Closing Day after which there is no Available Facility Amount,

(iv) the termination of the Facility under paragraph 7A, and

(v) the acceleration of any Note under paragraph 7A of this Agreement.

The period during which Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement is herein called the "Issuance Period".

2D.Periodic Spread Information. Not later than 9:30 A.M. (New York City local time) on a Business Day during the Issuance Period if there is an Available Facility Amount on such Business Day, the Company may request by telecopier or telephone, and Prudential will, to the extent reasonably practicable, provide to the Company on such Business Day (or, if such request is received after 9:30 A.M. (New York City local time) on such Business Day, on the following Business Day), information (by telecopier or telephone) with respect to various spreads at which Prudential or Prudential Affiliates might be interested in purchasing Shelf Notes of different average lives; provided, however, that the Company may not make such requests more frequently than once in every five Business Days or such other period as shall be mutually agreed to by the Company and Prudential. The amount and content of information so provided shall be in the sole discretion of Prudential but it is the intent of Prudential to provide information which will be of use to the Company in determining whether to initiate procedures for use of the Facility. Information so provided shall be representative of potential interest only for the periods commencing on the day such information is provided and ending on the earlier of the fifth Business Day after such day and the first day after such day on which further spread information is provided. Prudential may suspend or terminate providing information pursuant to this paragraph 2D for any reason, including its determination that the credit quality of the Company has declined since the date of this Agreement.

2E.Request for Purchase. The Company may from time to time during the Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Shelf Notes (each such request being herein called a

"Request for Purchase"). Each Request for Purchase shall be made to Prudential by telecopier or overnight delivery service, and shall:

(i) specify the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes covered thereby, which shall not be less than the lesser of (A) $10,000,000 and (B) the Available Facility Amount if such Available Facility Amount is equal to or greater than $5,000,000 and not be greater than the Available Facility Amount at the time such Request for Purchase is made,

(ii) specify the principal amounts, final maturities (which shall be no more than twelve years from the date of issuance), average life (which shall be no more than 10 years from the date of issuance) principal prepayment dates, if any, and amounts and interest payment periods (which shall be quarterly or semiannually in arrears) of the Shelf Notes covered thereby,

(iii) specify the use of proceeds of such Shelf Notes,

(iv) specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Shelf Notes, which shall be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than 10 days and not more than 20 days after the making of such Request for Purchase,

(v) specify the number of the account and the name and address of the depository institution to which the purchase prices of such Shelf Notes are to be transferred on the Closing Day for such purchase and sale,

(vi) certify that the representations and warranties contained in paragraph 8 are true on and as of the date of such Request for Purchase and that there exists on the date of such Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default, and

(vii) be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto.

Each Request for Purchase shall be in writing and shall be deemed made when received by Prudential.

2F.Rate Quotes. Not later than five Business Days after the Company shall have given Prudential a Request for Purchase pursuant to paragraph 2E, Prudential may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to the Company by telephone or telecopier, in each case between 9:30 A.M. and 2:00 P.M. New York City local time (or such later time as Prudential may elect), interest rate quotes for the several principal amounts, maturities, principal prepayment schedules, and interest payment periods of Shelf Notes specified in such Request for Purchase. Each quote shall represent the interest rate per annum payable on the outstanding principal balance of such Shelf Notes at which Prudential or a Prudential Affiliate would be willing to purchase such Shelf Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof.

2G.Acceptance. Within 30 minutes after Prudential shall have provided any interest rate quotes pursuant to paragraph 2F or such shorter period as Prudential may specify to the Company (such period herein called the "Acceptance Window"), the Company may, subject to

paragraph 2H, elect to accept such interest rate quotes as to not less than the lesser of (A) $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Shelf Notes specified in the related Request for Purchase or (B) the Available Facility Amount if such Available Facility Amount is equal to or greater than $5,000,000. Such election shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Company notifying Prudential by telephone or telecopier within the Acceptance Window (but not earlier than 9:30 A.M. or later than 2:00 P.M., New York City local time) that the Company elects to accept such interest rate quotes, specifying the Shelf Notes (each such Shelf Note being herein called an "Accepted Note") as to which such acceptance (herein called an "Acceptance") relates. The day the Company notifies Prudential of an Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes is herein called the "Acceptance Day" for such Accepted Notes. Any interest rate quotes as to which Prudential does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. Subject to paragraph 2H and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to Prudential or a Prudential Affiliate, and Prudential agrees to purchase, or to cause the purchase by a Prudential Affiliate of, the Accepted Notes at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. As soon as practicable following the Acceptance Day, the Company, Prudential and each Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Notes will execute a confirmation of such Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (herein called a "Confirmation of Acceptance"). If the Company should fail to execute and return to Prudential within three Business Days following receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes, Prudential may at its election at any time prior to its receipt thereof cancel the closing with respect to such Accepted Notes by so notifying the Company in writing.

2H.Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2G, if Prudential shall have provided interest rate quotes pursuant to paragraph 2F and thereafter prior to the time an Acceptance with respect to such quotes shall have been notified to Prudential in accordance with paragraph 2G the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or other financial instruments shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant disruption of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or other financial instruments, then such interest rate quotes shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. If the Company thereafter notifies Prudential of the Acceptance of any such interest rate quotes, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and Prudential shall promptly notify the Company that the provisions of this paragraph 2H are applicable with respect to such Acceptance.

2I. Facility Closings. Not later than 11:30 A.M. (New York City local time) on the Closing Day for any Accepted Notes, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser listed in the Confirmation of Acceptance relating thereto at the offices of the Prudential Capital Group, 1114 Avenue of the Americas, 30th Floor, New York, New York, the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of one or more Notes in authorized denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series of Accepted Notes to be purchased on the Closing Day, dated the Closing Day and registered in such Purchaser's name (or in the name of its nominee), against payment of the purchase price thereof by transfer of immediately available funds for credit to the Company's account specified in the Request for Purchase of such Notes. If the

Company fails to tender to any Purchaser the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the scheduled Closing Day for such Accepted Notes as provided above in this paragraph 2I, or any of the conditions specified in paragraph 3 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such scheduled Closing Day, the Company shall, prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day notify Prudential (which notification shall be deemed received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such closing is to be rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than one Business Day and not more than 10 Business Days after such scheduled Closing Day (the "Rescheduled Closing Day") and certify to Prudential (which certification shall be for the benefit of each Purchaser) that the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply with the conditions set forth in paragraph 3 on such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the Company will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee, if applicable, in accordance with paragraph 2J(3) or (ii) such closing is to be canceled. In the event that the Company shall fail to give such notice referred to in the preceding sentence, Prudential (on behalf of each Purchaser) may at its election, at any time after 1:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Company in writing that such closing is to be canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Agreement, the Company may elect to reschedule a closing with respect to any given Accepted Notes on not more than one occasion, unless Prudential shall have otherwise consented in writing.

2J. Fees.

2J(1) Facility Fee. In consideration for the time, effort and expense involved in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement, on the Amendment Closing Day, the Company will pay to Prudential in immediately available funds a nonrefundable fee (herein called the "Facility Fee") in the amount of $30,000.00.

2J(2) Issuance Fee. The Company will pay to Prudential in immediately available funds a fee (herein called the "Issuance Fee") on each Closing Day (other than on the Amendment Closing Day) in an amount equal to 0.125% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes sold on such Closing Day.

2J(3) Delayed Delivery Fee. If the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note, the Company will pay to Prudential (a) on the Cancellation Date or actual closing date of such purchase and sale and (b) if earlier, the next Business Day following 90 days after the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note and on each Business Day following 90 days after the prior payment hereunder, a fee (herein called the "Delayed Delivery Fee") calculated as follows:

(BEY - MMY) X DTS/360 X PA

where "BEY" means Bond Equivalent Yield, i.e., the bond equivalent yield per annum of such Accepted Note, "MMY" means Money Market Yield, i.e., the yield per annum on a commercial paper investment of the highest quality selected by Prudential on the date Prudential receives notice of the delay in the closing for such Accepted Note having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled Closing Day or Rescheduled Closing Days (a new alternative investment being selected by Prudential each time such closing is delayed); "DTS"

means Days to Settlement, i.e., the number of actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day with respect to such Accepted Note (in the case of the first such payment with respect to such Accepted Note) or from and including the date of the next preceding payment (in the case of any subsequent delayed delivery fee payment with respect to such Accepted Note) to but excluding the date of such payment; and "PA" means Principal Amount, i.e., the principal amount of the Accepted Note for which such calculation is being made. In no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero. If the foregoing calculation yields a negative number or zero, no Delayed Delivery Fee shall be due. Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any Accepted Note on any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Note, as the same may be rescheduled from time to time in compliance with paragraph 2I.

2J(4) Cancellation Fee. If the Company at any time notifies Prudential in writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note, or if Prudential notifies the Company in writing under the circumstances set forth in the last sentence of paragraph 2G or the penultimate sentence of paragraph 2I that the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is to be canceled, or if the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is not consummated on or prior to the last day of the Issuance Period (the date of any such notification, or the last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being herein called the "Cancellation Date"), the Company will pay the Purchasers in immediately available funds an amount (the "Cancellation Fee") calculated as follows:

PI X PA

where "PI" means Price Increase, i.e., the quotient (expressed in decimals) obtained by dividing (a) the excess of the ask price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date over the bid price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Notes(s) having a maturity date the same as, or closest to, such Accepted Note, on the Acceptance Day (if the difference is a negative number or zero, no Cancellation Fee shall be due) by (b) such bid price; and "PA" has the meaning ascribed to it in paragraph 2J(3). The foregoing bid and ask prices shall be as reported by Telerate Systems, Inc. (or, if such data for any reason ceases to be available through Telerate Systems, Inc., any publicly available source of similar market data). Each price shall be based on a U.S. Treasury security having a par value of $100.00 and shall be rounded to the second decimal place. In no case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero.

3. CONDITIONS OF CLOSING. The obligation of any Purchaser to purchase and pay for any other Notes is subject to the satisfaction of (i) all of the conditions set forth in this paragraph 3 other than paragraph 3A(2) on or before the closing date, October 30, 2002 (hereinafter "Amendment Closing Day"), which closing shall occur at the offices of King & Spalding, 1185 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, and (ii) all of the conditions set forth in this paragraph 3 other than paragraph 3A(1) on or before such other Closing Day for the purchase of any Notes:

4A.Required Prepayments of Notes. Until the Issued Series A Notes shall be paid in full, the Company shall apply to the prepayment of the Issued Series A Notes, without Yield-Maintenance Amount, the sum of $10,000,000 on each of April 9, 2005 and April 9, 2006, and such principal amounts of the Issued Series A Notes, together with interest thereon to the payment dates, shall become due on such payment dates. The remaining unpaid principal amount of the Issued Series A Notes, together with interest accrued thereon, shall become due on the maturity date of the Issued Series A Notes. Each other Series of Shelf Notes shall be subject to required prepayments, if any, set forth in the Notes of such Series.

4B.Optional Prepayment With Yield-Maintenance Amount. The Notes of each Series shall be subject to prepayment, in whole at any time or from time to time in part (in integral multiples of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $5,000,000), at the option of the Company, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid plus interest thereon to the prepayment date and the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, with respect to each such Note. Any partial prepayment of a Series of the Notes pursuant to this paragraph 4B shall be applied in satisfaction of required payments of principal in inverse order of their scheduled due dates.

4C.Notice of Optional Prepayment. The Company shall give the holder of each Note of a Series to be prepaid pursuant to paragraph 4B irrevocable written notice of such prepayment not less than 10 Business Days prior to the prepayment date, specifying such prepayment date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Series to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of the Notes of such Series held by such holder to be prepaid on that date and that such prepayment is to be made pursuant to paragraph 4B. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Notes specified in such notice, together with interest thereon to the prepayment date and together with the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, herein provided, shall become due and payable on such prepayment date. The Company shall, on or before the day on which it gives written notice of any prepayment pursuant to paragraph 4B, give telephonic notice of the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid and the prepayment date to each Significant Holder which shall have designated a recipient for such notices in the Purchaser Schedule attached hereto or the applicable Confirmation of Acceptance or by notice in writing to the Company.

4D.Mandatory Offer to Prepay.

(a) Upon receipt by the Company or any Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds from any Securitization Transaction, the Company shall certify to the Purchasers the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds so received and offer to prepay the Notes (as provided in clause (b) below) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds.

(b) The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by the foregoing subparagraph (a) shall be made in writing to each holder of a Note at least 10 Business Days before the proposed date of prepayment specifying such proposed date and the amount available for prepayment. A holder of a Note may accept such offer to prepay by causing a notice of

such acceptance to be delivered to the Company within seven Business Days after receipt of the notice required pursuant to this subparagraph
(b). A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this subparagraph (b) within such seven Business Day period shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder. The amount of all prepayments pursuant to subparagraph (a) shall be made ratably to each holder of a Note accepting an offer to prepay made under this paragraph 4D. For purposes of subparagraph (a) and this subparagraph (b), each Note's pro rata share shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the unpaid principal balance of such Note on the date of such prepayment (the "Note Prepayment Amount"), and the denominator of which is the sum of the Note Prepayment Amount for such Note plus the Note Prepayment Amount for each other Note to be prepaid on the date of prepayment, provided, however, that in no event will the aggregate amount the Company or any Subsidiary may be obligated to pay under this paragraph 4D exceed 50% of Net Cash Proceeds received by such entity. No Yield-Maintenance Amount shall be payable in connection with any prepayment under this paragraph 4D.

4E.Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each prepayment of less than the entire unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Notes of any Series pursuant to paragraphs 4A, 4B or 4D, the amount to be prepaid shall be applied pro rata to all outstanding Notes of such Series (including, for the purpose of this paragraph 4E only, all Notes prepaid or otherwise retired or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates other than by prepayment pursuant to paragraph 4A, 4B or 4D) according to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof.

4F.Offer to Prepay Notes in the Event of a Change in Control.

4F(1) Notice of Impending Change in Control. The Company shall give to each holder of Notes prompt written notice of any impending Change in Control for which it has received a written offer or notice.

4F(2) Notice of Occurrence of Change in Control. The Company will, within five Business Days after any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice of such Change in Control to each holder of Notes. If a Change in Control has occurred and in connection therewith (i) the Availability Period (as defined in the Bank Agreement), the Commitment Termination Date (as defined in the Bank Agreement), or any other similar or corresponding terms used in the Bank Agreement, is reduced or accelerated (whether by waiver, amendment, or otherwise), (ii) any Debt under the Bank Agreement becomes due and payable or is required to be prepaid or redeemed (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment or redemption), purchased or defeased or (iii) any Commitments (as defined in the Bank Agreement) under the Bank Agreement are terminated, then such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay the Notes as described in paragraphs 4F(3) and 4F(5) and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in paragraph 4F(6) hereof.

4F(3) Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by the foregoing paragraph 4F(2) shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this paragraph 4F, all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder (in this case only, "holder" in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such

beneficial owner) on a date specified in such offer (the "Proposed Prepayment Date"). Such Proposed Prepayment Date shall be not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days after the date of such offer (if the Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the 60th day after the date of such offer).

4F(4) Rejection, Acceptance. A holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this paragraph 4F by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company no later than seven Business Days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this paragraph 4F within such seven Business Day period shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder.

4F(5) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this paragraph 4F shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest on such Notes accrued but unpaid to the date of prepayment. The prepayment shall be made on the Proposed Prepayment Date. No Yield-Maintenance Amount shall be payable in connection with any prepayment under this paragraph 4F.

4F(6) Officer's Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this paragraph 4F shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Responsible Officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer, specifying:
(a) the Proposed Prepayment Date; (b) that such offer is made pursuant to this paragraph 4F; (c) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid; (d) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date; (e) that the conditions of paragraphs 4F(2), 4F(3), 4F(5) and 4F(6) have been fulfilled; and (f) in reasonable detail, the nature and date of the Change in Control.

4F(7) Termination of Effectiveness. Immediately upon the effectiveness of an amendment of the Bank Agreement such that a Change of Control shall cease to constitute an "Event of Default" thereunder and not otherwise cause a prepayment or commitment reduction thereunder, the provisions of this paragraph 4F shall no longer be applicable to the Notes.

4G.Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of the prepayment of Notes pursuant to this paragraph 4, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued but unpaid prior to such date and the applicable Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless prior thereto the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and the applicable Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and canceled and the Company shall be immediately discharged from any obligation under such Notes.

4H.Retirement of Notes. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, prepay or otherwise retire in whole or in part prior to their stated final maturity (other than by prepayment pursuant to paragraphs 4A, 4B, 4D or 4F or upon acceleration of such final maturity pursuant to paragraph 7A), or purchase or otherwise

acquire, directly or indirectly, Notes of any Series held by any holder unless the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have offered to prepay or otherwise retire or purchase or otherwise acquire, as the case may be, the same proportion of the aggregate principal amount of Notes of such Series held by each other holder of Notes of such Series at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any Notes so prepaid or otherwise retired or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose under this Agreement, except as provided in paragraph 4E.

(i) preserve, renew and maintain in full force and effect its legal existence of the Company and its Subsidiaries and continue to engage in the same business as presently conducted or such other businesses that are reasonably related thereto; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to preserve the legal existence of any Subsidiary if the Company reasonably determines that the preservation thereof is no longer necessary or desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(ii) comply with all laws and regulations (including, without limitation, laws and regulations relating to equal employment opportunity and employee safety) applicable to it and any Subsidiary, except where the failure to comply, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

The Company covenants that no future offer and sale of debt securities of the Company of any class will be made if there is a reasonable possibility that such offer and sale would, under the doctrine of "integration", subject the issuance of the Notes to you to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

5I.Financial Records. The Company covenants that it and each Subsidiary will keep proper books of record and account in which full and correct entries (in all material respects and subject to normal year end adjustments and, as to interim statements, the absence of footnotes) will be made of the business and affairs of the Company or such Subsidiary under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (except for changes disclosed in the financial statements furnished to you pursuant to paragraph 5A and concurred in by the independent public accountants referred to in paragraph 5A).

5J.Other Covenants.

The Company hereby agrees to so amend this Agreement and to execute and deliver all such documents required by the Required Holder(s) to reflect such Amendment. Prior to the execution and delivery of such documents by the Company, this Agreement shall be deemed to contain each more favorable Material Provision for purposes of determining the rights and obligations hereunder.

(2) if applicable, so long as the title to, and right to use, such property, is not materially adversely affected thereby; and

(3) the failure to make payment pending such contest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

If any additional Subsidiary is acquired or formed after the date hereof, the Company will, within fifteen (15) Business Days after such Subsidiary is acquired or formed, notify each of the Significant Holders and will cause such Subsidiary to deliver simultaneously therewith similar documents applicable to such Subsidiary required under paragraph 3A as reasonably requested by the Required Holders.

Schedule 8A hereto is an accurate and complete list of all Subsidiaries as of the Amendment Closing Day, including the jurisdiction of incorporation and ownership of all such Subsidiaries. The Company and each Subsidiary has the corporate power to own its respective properties and to carry on its respective businesses as now being conducted and is duly qualified and authorized to do business in each other jurisdiction in which the character of its respective properties or the nature of its respective businesses require such qualification or authorization except where the failure to be so qualified or authorized could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any legal restriction or any agreement restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make other similar distributions of profits to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of Capital Stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.

8B.Financial Statements. The Company has furnished you with the following financial statements, identified by a principal financial officer of the Company:

8E.Title to Properties. The Company has and each of its Subsidiaries has good and indefeasible title to its respective real properties (other than properties which it leases) and good title to all of its other respective properties and assets, including the properties and assets reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in paragraph 8B (other than properties and assets disposed of in the ordinary course of business), subject to no Lien of any kind except Liens permitted by paragraph 6B(1). All leases necessary in any material respect for the conduct of the respective businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect.

8F.Taxes. The Company has filed and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all federal, state and other income tax returns which, to the best knowledge of the chief financial officer of the Company and its Subsidiaries, are required to be filed, and each has paid all taxes as shown on such returns and on all assessments received by it to the extent that such taxes have become due, except such taxes as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

8G.Conflicting Agreements and Other Matters. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any contract or agreement or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction which materially and adversely affects its business, property or assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement or the Notes, nor the offering, issuance and sale of the Notes, nor fulfillment of nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof and of the Notes will conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to, the charter or by-laws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any award of any arbitrator or any agreement (including any agreement with stockholders), instrument, order, judgment, decree, statute, law, rule or regulation to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing Debt of the Company or such Subsidiary, any agreement relating thereto or any other contract or agreement (including its charter) which limits the amount of, or otherwise imposes restrictions on the incurring of, Debt of the Company or such Subsidiary of the type and in the amount to be evidenced by the Notes except as set forth in the agreements listed in Schedule 8G hereto.

8H.Offering of Notes. Neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, offered the Notes or any similar security of the Company for sale to, or solicited any offers to buy the Notes or any similar security of the Company from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect thereto with, any Person other than institutional investors, and neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the provisions of
Section 5 of the Securities Act or to the provisions of any securities or Blue Sky law of any applicable jurisdiction. The Company hereby represents and warrants to you that, within the preceding twelve months, neither the Company nor any other Person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold to any Person (other than accredited investors) any Notes, or any securities of the same or a similar class as the Notes, or any other substantially similar securities of the Company.

8I. Use of Proceeds. None of the proceeds of the sale of any Notes will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" as defined in Regulation U or X (12 C.F.R. Parts 221 and 224) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (herein called "margin stock") or for the purpose of maintaining, reducing or retiring any Debt which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any stock that is then currently a margin stock or for any other purpose which might constitute the purchase of such Notes a "purpose credit" within the meaning of such Regulation U, unless the Company shall have delivered to the Purchaser which is purchasing such Notes, on

the Closing Day for such Notes, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to such Purchaser stating that the purchase of such Notes does not constitute a violation of such Regulation U. Neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which might cause this Agreement or the Notes to violate Regulation U, Regulation T or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect now or as the same may hereafter be in effect. None of the proceeds of the sale of the Notes has been or will be used to finance a Hostile Tender Offer.

8J. ERISA. No accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan). No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been or is expected by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate to be incurred with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) by the Company, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or presently expects to incur any withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Multiemployer Plan which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Notes will be exempt from or will not involve any transaction which is subject to the prohibitions of Section 406 of ERISA and will not involve any transaction in connection with which a penalty could be imposed under Section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax could be imposed pursuant to
Section 4975 of the Code. The representation by the Company in the next preceding sentence is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of the representation of each Purchaser in paragraph 9B as to the source of funds to be used by it to purchase any Notes.

8K.Governmental Consent. Neither the nature of the Company or of any Subsidiary, nor any of their respective businesses or properties, nor any relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and any other Person, nor any circumstance in connection with the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes is such as to require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or any action by or notice to or filing with any court or administrative or governmental body (other than routine filings after the Closing Day for any Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or state Blue Sky authorities) in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes or fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or of the Notes.

(i) all taxes (together in each case with interest and penalties, if any), other than state, federal, local or foreign income taxes, intangible taxes, or franchise taxes, including without limitation, all stamp, recording and other similar taxes, which may be payable with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the execution, delivery or acquisition of any Note;

(ii) all document production and duplication charges and the fees and expenses of any special counsel engaged by the Purchasers in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and any subsequent proposed modification of, or proposed consent under, this Agreement, whether or not such proposed modification shall be effected or proposed consent granted; provided, however, that in connection with the fees and expenses of legal counsel of the Purchasers incurred prior to the Amendment Closing Day, the Purchasers shall agree to use the Facility Fee paid by the Company under paragraph 2J(1) to pay all or a portion of such fees and expenses; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable for any counsel fees incurred by any Purchaser or Transferee arising in connection with a transfer in the ordinary course of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein by Prudential or any other Purchaser to any Transferee. The obligations of the Company under this paragraph 11B shall survive the transfer of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein by any Purchaser or any Transferee and the payment of any Note.

11C. Consent to Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, if the Company shall obtain the written consent to such amendment, action or omission to act, of the Required Holder(s) of the Notes of each Series except that, (i) with the written consent of the holders of all Notes of a particular Series, and if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, of the holders of all Notes of all Series, at the time outstanding (and not without such written consents), the Notes of such Series may be amended or the provisions thereof waived to change the maturity thereof, to change or affect the principal thereof, or to change or affect the rate or time of payment of interest on or any Yield-Maintenance Amount payable with respect to the Notes of such Series, (ii) without the written consent of the holder or holders of all Notes at the time outstanding, no amendment to or waiver of the provisions of this Agreement shall change or affect the provisions of paragraph 7A or this paragraph 11C insofar as such provisions relate to proportions of the principal amount of the Notes of any Series, or the rights of any individual holder of Notes, required with respect to any declaration of Notes to be due and payable or with respect to any consent, amendment, waiver or declaration, (iii) with the written consent of Prudential (and not without the written consent of Prudential) the provisions of paragraph 2 may be amended or waived (except insofar as any such amendment or waiver would affect any rights or obligations with respect to the purchase and sale of Notes which shall have become Accepted Notes prior to such amendment or waiver), and (iv) with the written consent of all of the Purchasers which shall have become obligated to purchase Accepted Notes of any Series (and not without the written consent of all such Purchasers), any of the provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3 may be amended or waived insofar as such amendment or waiver would affect only rights or obligations with respect to the purchase and sale of the Accepted Notes of such Series or the terms and provisions of such Accepted Notes. Each holder of any Note at the time or thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any consent authorized by this paragraph 11C, whether or not such Note shall have been marked to indicate such consent, but any Notes issued thereafter may bear a notation referring to any such consent. No course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein and in the Notes, the term "this Agreement" and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented. Prior to its effectiveness, any amendment, waiver or consent shall be in writing and executed by the Company and the Required Holders or the holders of all Notes, as applicable.

11D. Form and Registration; Transfer and Exchange; Transfer Restrictions; Lost Notes.

11D(1) Form and Registration. The Notes are issuable as registered notes without coupons in denominations of at least $1,000,000, except as may be necessary to reflect any principal amount not evenly divisible by $1,000,000. The Company shall keep at its principal office a register in which the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the principal office of the Company, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver one or more new Notes of like tenor and of a like aggregate principal amount, registered in the name of such transferee or transferees.

11D(2) Transfer and Exchange of Notes. At the option of the holder of any Note, such Note may be exchanged for other Notes of like tenor and of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Note to be exchanged at the principal office of the Company. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver the Notes which the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Each installment of principal payable on each installment date upon each new Note issued upon any such transfer or exchange shall be in the same proportion to the unpaid principal amount of such new Note as the installment of principal payable on such date on the Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange bore to the unpaid principal amount of such Note. No reference need be made in any such new Note to any installment or installments of principal previously due and paid upon the Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. Every Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed, by the holder of such Note or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. Any Note or Notes issued in exchange for any Note or upon transfer thereof shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and interest to accrue which were carried by the Note so exchanged or transferred, so that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from any such transfer or exchange.

11D(3) Lost Notes. Upon receipt of written notice from the holder of any Note of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Note and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of such holder's unsecured indemnity agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Company will make and deliver a new Note, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

11E. Persons Deemed Owners; Participations. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner and holder of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on, and any Yield-Maintenance Amount payable with respect to, such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. Subject to the preceding sentence, the holder of any Note may from time to time grant participations in all or any part of such Note to any Person on such terms and conditions as may be determined by such holder in its sole and absolute discretion.

11F. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Entire Agreement. All representations and warranties contained herein or made in writing by or on behalf of the Company in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any Transferee, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any Transferee. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter.

11G. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the

respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto (including, without limitation, any Transferee) whether so expressed or not.

11H. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is prohibited by any one of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or otherwise be in compliance within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists.

11I. Notices. All written communications provided for hereunder (other than communications provided for under paragraph 2) shall be sent by first class mail or nationwide overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid) and (i) if to any Purchaser, addressed as specified for such communications in the Purchaser Schedule attached to the applicable Confirmation of Acceptance (in the case of any Shelf Notes) or at such other address as any such Purchaser shall have specified to the Company in writing, (ii) if to any other holder of any Note, addressed to it at such address as it shall have specified in writing to the Company or, if any such holder shall not have so specified an address, then addressed to such holder in care of the last holder of such Note which shall have so specified an address to the Company and (iii) if to the Company, addressed to it at 2665 South Bayshore Drive, Suite 901, Coconut Grove, Florida 33133, Attention: Barry Logan, telephone 305-714-4102, telecopy 305-858-4492, provided, however, that any such communication to the Company may also, at the option of the Person sending such communication, be delivered by any other means either to the Company at its address specified above or to any Authorized Officer of the Company. Any communication pursuant to paragraph 2 shall be made by the method specified for such communication in paragraph 2, and shall be effective to create any rights or obligations under this Agreement only if, in the case of a telephone communication, an Authorized Officer of the party conveying the information and of the party receiving the information are parties to the telephone call, and in the case of a telecopier communication, the communication is signed by an Authorized Officer of the party conveying the information, addressed to the attention of an Authorized Officer of the party receiving the information, and in fact received at the telecopier terminal the number of which is listed for the party receiving the communication in the Information Schedule or at such other telecopier terminal as the party receiving the information shall have specified in writing to the party sending such information.

11J. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or interest on, or Yield-Maintenance Amount payable with respect to, any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment is extended to the next succeeding Business Day by reason of the preceding sentence, the period of such extension shall be included in the computation of the interest payable on such Business Day.

11K. Severability. 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, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11L. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

11M. Satisfaction Requirement. If any agreement, certificate or other writing, or any action taken or to be taken, is by the terms of this Agreement required to be satisfactory to any Purchaser, to any holder of Notes or to the Required Holder(s), the determination of such satisfaction shall be made by such Purchaser, such holder or the Required Holder(s), as the case may be, in the sole and exclusive judgment (exercised in good faith) of the Person or Persons making such determination.

11N. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the Parties shall be governed by, the Internal Law of the State of New York. THE COMPANY HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO THE SOLE AND ABSOLUTE ELECTION OF THE REQUIRED HOLDER(S) AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS, AND THE COMPANY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED ON IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS TO THE CONDUCT OF ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURTS.

11O. Severalty of Obligations. The sales of Notes to the Purchasers are to be several sales, and the obligations of Prudential and the Purchasers under this Agreement are several obligations. No failure by Prudential or any Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall relieve Prudential, any other Purchaser or the Company of any of its obligations hereunder, and neither Prudential nor any Purchaser shall be responsible for the obligations of, or any action taken or omitted by, any other such Person hereunder.

11P. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

11Q. Rank. The parties hereto, for their own benefit and not for the benefit or for the purpose of creating any duty, obligation or liability to any other Person, expressly designate that the right to payment of the Notes shall be pari passu to the Bank Agreement in right of payment and performance.

11R. Binding Agreement. When this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Company and Prudential, it shall become a binding agreement between the Company and Prudential. This Agreement shall also inure to the benefit of each Purchaser which shall have executed and delivered a Confirmation of Acceptance, and each such Purchaser shall be bound by this Agreement to the extent provided in such Confirmation of Acceptance.

Very truly yours,
