and to any and all leases now or hereafter on or affecting the property described in Paragraphs A,
B and C hereof, together with all security therefor and all monies
payable thereunder, subject, however, to the conditional permission hereinabove given to
Mortgagor to collect the rentals under any such lease. The foregoing assignment of any lease shall
not be deemed to impose upon Mortgagee any of the obligations or duties of Mortgagor provided in
any such lease, and Mortgagor agrees to fully perform all obligations of the lessor under all such
leases. Upon Mortgagees request, Mortgagor agrees to send to Mortgagee a list of all leases
covered by the foregoing assignment and any such lease shall expire or terminate or as any new
lease shall be made, Mortgagor shall so notify Mortgagee in order that at all times Mortgagee
shall have a current list of all leases affecting the property described in Paragraphs A, B and C
hereof. Mortgagee shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to notify any lessee of

any leases affecting the Mortgaged Property in Mortgagors discretion, without obtaining
Mortgagees prior consent.
This instrument constitutes an absolute and present assignment of the rents, royalties,
issues, profits, revenue, income and other benefits from the Mortgaged Property, subject, however,
to the conditional permission given to Mortgagor to collect, receive, take, use and enjoy the same
as provided hereinabove; provided, further, that the existence or exercise of such right of
Mortgagor shall not operate to subordinate this assignment to any subsequent assignment, in whole
or in part, by Mortgagor, and any such subsequent assignment by Mortgagor shall be subject to the
rights of Mortgagee hereunder.
F. FIXTURES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY. TOGETHER WITH a security interest in (i) all
property and fixtures affixed to or located on the property described in Paragraphs A, B and C
hereof which, to the fullest extent permitted by law shall be deemed fixtures and a part of the
real property; (ii) all articles of personal property and all materials delivered to the property
described in Paragraphs A, B and C hereof for use in any construction being conducted thereon, and
owned by Mortgagor; (iii) all contract rights, general intangibles, actions and rights in action,

the same may relate to the property described in Paragraphs A, B and C hereof; (iv) subject to the
rights of Mortgagor in and to all such Permits (hereinafter defined), and the rights of Mortgagor
to terminate, modify and/or amend any such Permits, as same pertain to the rights of Mortgagor to
develop all portions of the Mortgaged Property released from the lien of this Mortgage, all
development rights, consents, approvals, permits, licenses, reservations, prepaid utility fees or
deposits, prepaid impact fees, and authorizations now or hereafter created, issued or paid for

products, replacements, additions, substitutions, renewals and accessions of any of the foregoing.
Mortgagor (Debtor) hereby grants to Mortgagee (Creditor) a security interest in all fixtures,
rights in action and personal property described herein.
- 4 -
This Mortgage is a self-operative security agreement with respect to such property, but
Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver on demand such other security agreements, financing
statements and other instruments as Mortgagee may request in order to perfect its security interest
or to impose the lien hereof more specifically upon any of such property. Mortgagee shall have all
the rights and remedies in addition to those specified herein of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same, together with all and singular the tenements, hereditaments and
appurtenances thereunto belonging or in any way appertaining and the reversions, remainders, rents,
issues and profits thereof, and also all the estate, right, title, interest, property, possession,
claim or demand of the Mortgagor in and to the same, and every part thereof, unto the Mortgagee in
fee simple.
AND Mortgagor covenants with the Mortgagee that Mortgagor is indefeasibly seized of the
Mortgaged Property in fee simple; that it has full power and lawful right to convey and mortgage
the same in fee simple; that upon default it shall be lawful for the Mortgagee at all times
peaceably and quietly to enter upon, hold, occupy, possess and enjoy the Mortgaged Property, and
every part thereof; that the Mortgaged Property is and will, except as allowed herein, remain free
from all liens and encumbrances, including taxes and assessments, except for the Permitted
Exceptions, any easements or instruments to which Mortgagee has consented or is a party, assessment
liens for CDDs (hereinafter defined), CCRs (hereinafter defined), the Restrictive Covenant
Agreement (hereinafter defined), the Four Party Agreement (hereafter defined), easements for roads,
utilities, lakes and other infrastructure improvements constructed on the Mortgaged Property from
time to time consistent with the Approved Site Plan (as such plan may be modified from time to
time), and as herein otherwise provided; that Mortgagor will make such further assurances to
perfect the fee simple title to the Mortgaged Property in Mortgagee as may be reasonably required,
and that Mortgagor does hereby fully warrant the title thereto, and every part thereof, and will
defend the same against the lawful claims of all persons whomsoever.
PROVIDED ALWAYS that if the Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee the indebtedness evidenced by
the Note or any renewal or replacement of the Note and if the Mortgagor shall duly, promptly and
fully perform, comply with and abide by each and every one of the stipulations, agreements,
conditions and covenants of the Note, this Mortgage, or other instruments referred to herein, then
this Mortgage and the estate hereby created shall cease and be null and void.
- 5 -
Mortgagor further covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:
1. USE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. To develop the Mortgaged Property as a multi-use
residential community (the Project) consisting of single family
residential lots (the Lots) together with a golf course with no less than eighteen (18)
holes with clubhouse and related amenities (the Golf Course) and other related common facilities
and amenities (collectively the Project), to be constructed on the Mortgaged Property
substantially in accordance with the Approved Site Plan. For purposes of this Mortgage, the
Approved Site Plan shall mean the Master Site Plan, which is a conceptual site plan, shown on page
4 of 30 of WilsonMiller Project Number 03552-005-001-EPP00, Index Number D-3552-44, used to obtain
SFWMD Environmental Resource Permit Number 36-05075-P (Lot 308 has been deleted), and as
supplemented by Master Site Plan shown on Sheet 5 of 57 of WilsonMiller Project No.
03552-005-002-FLP00, Index Number D-3552-71. Mortgagor may change the Approved Site Plan as long
as Mortgagor obtains Mortgagees consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned. In the event Mortgagee has acquired title to all or a portion of the Mortgaged
Property through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, Mortgagee may change the
Approved Site Plan without Mortgagors consent as long as such changes do not change Mortgagors
Lots or materially and adversely change ingress, egress, drainage or utilities for Mortgagors Lots
including ingress and egress to the Golf Course and any other amenities at the Project.
2. PAYMENT. To pay all sums secured hereby, together with interest and other
appurtenant charges thereon, when the same shall become due, as provided in the Note, this Mortgage
or other instruments referred to herein or evidencing any renewal or extension thereof.
3. TAXES AND OTHER PAYMENTS. To pay and discharge when due any taxes, assessments,
levies, charges, liabilities, claims, liens, obligations, impositions and encumbrances of every
nature and kind now on the Mortgaged Property, or that hereafter may be imposed, suffered, placed,
levied or assessed thereon, or that hereafter may be levied or assessed upon this Mortgage or the
indebtedness secured hereby, including, but not limited to, all impact fees, utility reservation
fees, off-site impact fees or costs, as and when due, and to produce receipts therefor upon demand
and to provide Mortgagee on or before December 31st of each year of the term hereof with
receipts for payment of all real property taxes on the Mortgaged Property for such prior year. The
failure of Mortgagor to provide the paid tax receipts as required herein shall constitute a
monetary default hereunder if and only at such time as Mortgagor has still failed to provide the
paid tax receipts after Mortgagee provides written notice to Mortgagor of its non-receipt of such
paid tax receipts and Mortgagor fails to provide such receipts to Mortgagee within ten (10)
business days after receipt of such a notice.
4. INSURANCE. (i) To keep the Mortgaged Property insured against loss or damage by
fire and all perils included within the term extended coverage endorsement in an amount equal to
its full replacement value, such insurance to be issued by companies approved by Mortgagee, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied. The policy or policies of
insurance shall contain a standard mortgagee clause with loss payable to Mortgagee; and (ii) to
maintain comprehensive general liability insurance for not less than Ten Million and no/100 Dollars
($10,000,000.00) against claims and liability for injury to persons or property occurring on the
Mortgaged Property, including all appurtenant easements. All such policy or policies of insurance
shall name Mortgagee as an additional insured and shall provide for not less than ten (10) days
prior written notice of modification, cancellation, termination or expiration to Mortgagee.
- 6 -
5. REPAIRS; WASTE. To keep the Mortgaged Property in good condition and repair and to
permit, commit, or suffer no waste, impairment or deterioration of any part thereof and Mortgagee
shall have the right to inspect the Mortgaged Property on reasonable notice to Mortgagor and, if
Mortgagor so elects, Mortgagee shall be accompanied by a representative of Mortgagor on any such
inspection. Mortgagor will not erect, build or construct upon any portion of the Mortgaged
Property, any building or structure of any kind whatsoever, the erection, building or construction
of which is not contemplated on or by the Approved Site Plan or, if not so contemplated on or by
the Approved Site Plan, has not been otherwise previously approved by Mortgagee in writing.
6. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION. To observe, abide by and comply with all statutes,
ordinances, orders, permits, requirements, development agreements or decrees relating to the
Mortgaged Property by any federal, state or municipal authority or subdivision thereof, and to
observe and comply with all conditions and requirements necessary to preserve and extend the
Permits, including without limitation any and all rights, licenses, consents, approvals, permits,
development rights (including but not limited to, zoning variances, special exceptions and
nonconforming uses), privileges, franchises and concessions which are applicable to the Mortgaged
Property or which have been granted to or contracted for by Mortgagor in connection with any
existing, presently contemplated or future use of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall promptly
provide to Mortgagee copies of all correspondence, memos, notices, claims or demands to or from any
governmental authority relating to the Permits. Failure by Mortgagor to keep and maintain in full
force and effect and in good standing all such Permits now or hereafter granted and acquired with
respect to the Mortgaged Property and all development rights thereon shall constitute a default
hereunder if and only at such time as Mortgagor has still failed to maintain any such Permit after
Mortgagee provides written notice to Mortgagor of its failure to maintain any such Permit and
Mortgagor fails to obtain or reinstate the applicable Permit and provide evidence thereof to
Mortgagee within thirty (30) business days (or reasonable longer period as is necessary to obtain
or reinstate the applicable Permit provided Mortgagor is diligently seeking such Permit or
reinstatement within said thirty (30) business day period) after receipt of such a notice. If at
any time during the term hereof, Mortgagee reasonably deems any Permits to be in jeopardy of loss,
expiration or termination due to Mortgagors failure to comply with any requirement thereof,
Mortgagee shall be entitled, upon reasonable notice under the circumstances to Mortgagor, to take
all actions necessary to preserve those Permits and charge the reasonable costs thereof, including
attorneys fees, to Mortgagor. Failure of Mortgagor to pay such costs within thirty (30) business
days of written demand from Mortgagee shall be an additional event of default. In the event
Mortgagee reacquires any portion of the Mortgaged Property through foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise, it is expressly agreed that the Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be entitled
to exercise the rights granted by and under the Permits to develop their respective portions of the
Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Approved Site Plan.
7. FUTURE ADVANCES. Upon request of Mortgagor, Mortgagee, at Mortgagees sole option,
within twenty (20) years from date of this Mortgage, may make future advances to Mortgagor. It is
hereby specifically agreed that any sum or sums which may be loaned or advanced by the Mortgagee to
the Mortgagor at any time after the recording of this Mortgage, together with interest thereon at
the rate agreed upon at the time of such loan or
advance, shall be equally secured with and have the same priority as the original indebtedness
and be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Mortgage, providing that the aggregate
amount of the principal outstanding at any time shall not exceed an amount equal to two times the
principal amount originally secured hereby.
- 7 -
8. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES. Mortgagor hereby grants a first assignment and
pledge to Mortgagee, as additional security for the payment of indebtedness secured by this
Mortgage, of any and all leases, written or oral, rents, income, profits, issues, and revenues,
from whatever source derived existing now or hereafter on the Mortgaged Property; and Mortgagor
covenants to observe all the obligations of the lessor in any leases and not to do or permit to be
done anything to impair the security thereof; not to execute any other assignment of lease or
assignment of rents of the Mortgaged Property; and not to alter, modify or change the terms of, or
surrender, cancel or terminate any leases, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, except
at times when Mortgagor is not in default of its obligations under this Mortgage beyond any
applicable grace or cure period, during which times Mortgagor shall have a free right to alter,
modify, change the terms of, surrender, cancel or terminate any leases without the prior consent of
Mortgagee other than the Rinker Leases (as defined in Paragraph 29 hereof), for which such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
9. EMINENT DOMAIN. In the event of condemnation proceedings or a taking of all or any
portion of the Mortgaged Property by eminent domain, the award or compensation payable thereunder
(excluding Mortgagors reasonable third party costs not to exceed $50,000 in obtaining such
proceeds and Mortgagors attorneys fees) is hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Mortgagee to
the extent of the sums due hereunder. Mortgagee shall be under no obligation to question the
amount of any such award or compensation and may accept the same in the amount in which the same
shall be paid. In any such condemnation proceedings, Mortgagee may be represented by counsel
selected by Mortgagee. In the event of a total condemnation or taking, the proceeds of any award
or compensation so received by Mortgagee shall be applied to the prepayment of the Note and all
sums due under this Mortgage, and the balance, if any, shall be paid over to Mortgagor. In the
event of a partial condemnation or taking, Mortgagee shall pay over to Mortgagor such portion of
the award or compensation so received by Mortgagee as is reasonably necessary to restore the
portion of the remaining Mortgaged Property not condemned but affected by such condemnation or
taking, and the balance shall be applied by Mortgagee as a prepayment of the Note.
10. EXPENSES OF COLLECTION. All sums secured by this Mortgage shall be payable at
Mortgagees address set forth above, and, unless otherwise provided in this Mortgage, shall bear
interest at the same rate per annum as the Note bears, from date of accrual until paid. If the
Note or any other sums secured by this Mortgage shall be collected by legal proceedings or through
a probate or bankruptcy court, or shall be placed in the hands of an attorney for collection after
maturity, whether matured by the expiration of time or by the option given to the Mortgagee to
accelerate the maturity, Mortgagor agrees to pay all and singular the costs, charges and expenses,
including attorneys fees through all stages of legal proceedings (including bankruptcy, pretrial,
trial, appellate and administrative) reasonably incurred, or paid at any time by the Mortgagee
because of the failure on the part of the Mortgagor to perform, comply with and abide by each and
every one of the stipulations, agreements, conditions and
covenants of the Note, this Mortgage or other instruments referred to herein, and every such
payment shall bear interest at the rate which is five points higher than the rate of interest in
effect under the Note at the time of such default from the date when such sums are due until paid.
- 8 -
11. TRANSFERS AND ENCUMBRANCES. Unless otherwise provided in this Mortgage, if,
without Mortgagees prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed by Mortgagee, all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or any interest therein, is sold,
conveyed, leased, assigned or transferred in any manner or further encumbered by Mortgagor, whether
voluntarily or by operation of law, then in that event Mortgagee may declare all sums secured by
this Mortgage immediately due and payable. This provision shall not be construed to prevent
Mortgagor from (i) entering into contracts to sell parcels of the Mortgaged Property which are to
be released from the lien of this Mortgage at the closing of such contracts, or (ii) conveying
portions of the Mortgaged Property to a property owners association, to the public or any other
government entity, or (iii) encumbering the Mortgaged Property with the lien of financing provided
for bonds issued by any CDD (defined below) and/or any and all assessment liens that shall secure
bonds issued by any such CDD, or (iv) recording of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCRs),
or (v) the Approved Plat, or (vi) the Development Order and the Consumptive Use Permit issued by
Lee County, Florida, or (vii) the Restrictive Covenant Agreement.
12. INSOLVENCY. It shall be a default of this Mortgage if the Mortgagor shall (a)
consent to the appointment of a Receiver, Trustee or Liquidator of all or a substantial part of the
Mortgagors assets, or (b) be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or file a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or (c) make a
general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (d) file a petition or answer seeking
reorganization or arrangement of creditors, or to take advantage of any insolvency law, or (e) file
an answer admitting the material allegations or a petition filed against the Mortgagor in any
bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding or (f) itself take action for the purpose of
affecting any of the foregoing, or (g) if any order, judgment or decree shall be entered upon an
application of a creditor or Mortgagor by a court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition
seeking appointment of a Receiver, or Trustee of all or a substantial part of the Mortgagors
assets and such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect for a period of
ninety (90) days.
13. MORTGAGEES PERFORMANCE OF DEFAULTED ACTS. If Mortgagor shall default, after the
giving of notice and the lapse of any applicable grace or cure period, in any of the stipulations,
agreements, conditions and covenants contained in the Note, this Mortgage or other instruments
referred to herein, or in the payment of any taxes, assessments, levies, charges, liabilities,
liens, claims, obligations, impositions and encumbrances on the Mortgaged Property, or fail to make
any payment of any insurance premiums or other charges, or any other monies required to be paid
under the Note, the Mortgage or other instruments referred to herein, or to keep the Permits in
full force and effect and in good standing, or to keep the Mortgaged Property in good condition and
repair or shall commit or permit waste, or if there be commenced any action or proceeding affecting
the Mortgaged Property or the title thereto, or the interest of Mortgagor therein, then the
Mortgagee may, at its option, subject to the notices and cure periods set forth in paragraph 14
below, take such action
or pay such sums as Mortgagee deems advisable to cure such defaults including the prosecution
or defense of litigation, and all expenditures made by the Mortgagee in that connection, including
reasonable attorneys fees, shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage, shall draw interest at
the rate which is five percent (5%) higher than the rate of interest that would otherwise be in
effect under the Note from the date when such sums are due until paid, and shall, at the option of
the Mortgagee, be added to the unpaid principal amount due under the Note or be payable by
Mortgagor immediately and without demand. Neither the right nor the exercise of the right herein
granted unto the Mortgagee to make any such payments shall preclude the Mortgagee from exercising
its option to cause the whole indebtedness secured hereby to become immediately due and payable by
reason of the Mortgagors default in making such payments.
- 9 -
14. DEFAULT; ACCELERATION OF INDEBTEDNESS. (i) If any installment of the Note,
whether of principal or interest or both, or the payment of any other sums of money referred to in
this Mortgage, whether such payment is due to Mortgagee or to others, is not promptly and fully
paid when due, and such default remains uncured for a period of fifteen (15) days after written
notice thereof from Mortgagee to Mortgagor or (ii) in the event a nonmonetary breach or default be
made by the Mortgagor in any one of the stipulations, agreements, conditions and covenants of said
Note, this Mortgage, or any other documents or instruments executed and delivered by the Mortgagor
to and in favor of the Mortgagee as security for, evidence of or otherwise connected with or
incidental to the loan transaction or extension of credit evidenced by the Note and secured by this
Mortgage, or if each and every one of said stipulations, agreements, conditions and covenants are
not otherwise duly, promptly and fully discharged or performed and Mortgagor fails to cure such
nonmonetary default within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Mortgagee to
Mortgagor or if such default cannot be cured within such cure period, if Mortgagor fails to
commence such cure within said thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues
said cure and, in fact, cures said default within a reasonable time necessary to cure such default
(subject to force majeure), (for purposes herein, any of such events described in clause (i) or
(ii) above not cured within the applicable grace period are hereinafter referred to as an Event of
Default) then the Mortgagee, at its option, may thereupon or thereafter declare the indebtedness
evidenced by the Note as well as all other monies secured hereby, to be forthwith due and payable,
whereupon the principal of and the interest accrued on the indebtedness evidenced and represented
by the Note and all other indebtedness evidenced and represented by the Note and all other sums
secured by this Mortgage shall immediately become and be due and payable as if all of said sums of
money were originally stipulated to be paid on such day, and thereupon, without notice or demand,
the Mortgagee may avail itself of all rights and remedies provided by law and may prosecute a suit
at law or in equity as if all monies secured hereby had matured prior to its institution, anything
in this Mortgage or in the Note to the contrary notwithstanding. The Mortgagee may foreclose this
Mortgage as to the amount so declared due and payable, and the Mortgaged Property shall be sold
according to law to satisfy and pay the same together with all costs, expenses and allowances,
including, without limitation, a reasonable fee for the Mortgagees attorneys for pretrial, trial
and appellate proceedings. The Mortgaged Property may be sold in one parcel, several parcels or
groups of parcels, and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to bid at the sale and, if the highest
bidder for the Mortgaged Property or any part or parts thereof, shall be entitled to purchase the
same. The failure or omission on the part of the Mortgagee to exercise the option for acceleration
of maturity and foreclosure of this Mortgage following any default as aforesaid or to exercise
any other option granted hereunder to Mortgagee when entitled to do so in any one or more
instances, or the acceptance by Mortgagee of partial payment of the indebtedness secured hereby,
whether before or subsequent to Mortgagors default hereunder, shall not constitute a waiver of any
such default or the right to exercise any such option, but such option shall remain continuously in
force. Acceleration of maturity, once claimed hereunder by Mortgagee, at the option of Mortgagee,
may be rescinded by written acknowledgment to that effect by Mortgagee, but the tender and
acceptance of partial payments alone shall not in any way affect or rescind such acceleration of
maturity.
- 10 -
Any sums due and owing to Mortgagee hereunder or under the Note for any purpose whatsoever
after an Event of Default shall bear interest at the rate which is five percent (5%) higher than
the rate of interest that would otherwise be in effect under the Note from the date when such sums
are due until paid to Mortgagee. All agreements between Mortgagor and Mortgagee, whether now
existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that
under no contingency whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the Note, or
otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to Mortgagee for the use, forbearance, or
detention of the money to be loaned under the Note, or otherwise, or for the payment or performance
of any covenant or obligation contained in the Note or this Mortgage, or other instrument
evidencing, securing, or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, exceed the maximum
amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any
provision of the Note or this Mortgage, or other instrument, at the time performance of such
provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then,
ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if
from any such circumstances Mortgagee shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by
applicable law in an amount which would exceed interest at the highest lawful rate, such amount
which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance
of the Note or to any other principal indebtedness of the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee, and not to
the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the
Note and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to Mortgagor. All sums paid, or
agreed to be paid, by Mortgagor for the use, forbearance, or detention of the indebtedness of
Mortgagor to Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated, and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that
the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout the term thereof.
The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other provision of
all agreements between Mortgagor and Mortgagee.
15. RECEIVER. Upon an Event of Default by Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall be entitled to
the appointment by a court of competent jurisdiction of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property as a
matter of absolute right and without notice; with power to collect the rents, issues and profits of
the Mortgaged Property due and coming due during the pendency of an action to foreclose this
Mortgage, without regard to the value of the Mortgaged Property or the solvency of any person
liable for the payment of any sums secured hereunder. Mortgagor, for itself and any subsequent
owner, hereby waives any and all defenses to the application for a receiver as above provided, and
hereby specifically consents to such appointment without notice; but nothing
contained in this Mortgage is to be construed to deprive the Mortgagee of any other right,
remedy or privilege it may now have under the law to have a receiver appointed. This provision for
the appointment of a receiver of the rents and profits and the assignment of such rents and profits
is made an express condition upon which the loan hereby secured is made. The costs, fees and
expenses incurred pursuant to the exercise of the foregoing powers shall be an additional
indebtedness secured by the lien of this Mortgage.
- 11 -
16. WAIVER AND MODIFICATION. No modification or waiver hereof shall be effective
between the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee unless it is in writing and duly executed by the party to
be bound. Third parties shall be bound by any modification or waiver hereof in writing and duly
recorded in the public records of the county in which the Mortgaged Property is located, or of
which such third parties have actual notice. Without affecting the liability of Mortgagor or any
other person (except any person expressly released in writing) for payment of any indebtedness
secured hereby or for performance of any obligation contained herein, and without affecting the
rights of Mortgagee with respect to any security not expressly released in writing, Mortgagee may,
at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity of the Note, and without
notice or consent:
a. Release any person liable for payment of all or any part of the indebtedness or for
performance of any obligation;
b. Make any agreement extending the time or otherwise altering the terms of payment of all or
any part of the indebtedness, or modifying or waiving any obligation, on subordinating, modifying
or otherwise dealing with the lien or charge hereof;
c. Exercise or refrain from exercising or waive any right Mortgagee may have;
d. Accept additional security of any kind; and
e. Release or otherwise deal with any property, real or personal, securing the indebtedness,
including all or any part of the Mortgaged Property.
No waiver of any default on the part of Mortgagee or of any breach of any of the provisions of
this Mortgage shall be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach, and no
delay or omission in exercising or enforcing the rights and powers herein granted shall be
construed as a waiver of such rights and powers, and likewise no exercise or enforcement of any
rights or powers hereunder shall be held to exhaust such rights and powers, and every such right
and power may be exercised from time to time.
17. MORTGAGORS STATUS. Mortgagor represents and warrants that it is duly organized
and validly existing, in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation, has
partnership interests outstanding which have been duly and validly issued, and is qualified to do
business and is in good standing in the State of Florida, with full power and authority to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
- 12 -
18. DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS. It shall constitute an additional event of default
under this Mortgage in the event that Mortgagor (subject to the notice and cure periods set forth
at clause (ii) of paragraph 14 above):
a. Modifies or amends the Approved Site Plan without Mortgagees prior written approval which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, or fails to develop the
Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Approved Site Plan and all Permits, development orders
and development agreements pertaining thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, Mortgagor, without such action constituting an event of default under this Mortgage,
shall be entitled to modify and/or amend any Permits, development orders and development agreements
in order to effectuate development of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Approved Site
Plan (as may be amended pursuant hereto) without the consent of Mortgagee so long as Mortgagor is
not in default beyond any applicable grace or cure period and such modifications or amendments are
made in the reasonable business judgment of Mortgagor and are consistent with the Approved Site
Plan.
b. Following issuance of all permits, fails to maintain in full force and effect without
material modification all Permits and other development rights in effect from time to time
necessary to develop the Property in accordance with the Approved Site Plan. The parties hereto
acknowledge that both the Mortgagor with respect to property released from the lien of this
Mortgage and Mortgagee with respect to property remaining encumbered by the lien of this Mortgage,
shall have the right to exercise the rights granted by the Permits to develop their respective
properties in accordance with the Approved Site Plan in the event Mortgagee ever acquires or
reacquires any of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise. Mortgagee acknowledges that during the term of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall have the
right to assign its rights to develop unencumbered property granted by such Permits to its Lenders
to secure financing for construction of the improvements thereon and the full development thereof.
Mortgagor agrees that during the term of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to copies of
all such Permits in existence now or created during the term hereof or as modified during the term
hereof. Mortgagor shall promptly provide Mortgagee with copies of such Permits and all material
correspondence, memoranda, notices, demands and other information pertaining to such Permits and
the Approved Site Plan or other development rights with respect to the Mortgaged Property from or
to all governmental agencies. Mortgagee shall have the rights to take all reasonable steps
necessary to maintain all Permits and other development rights which are to expire or otherwise be
adversely affected upon reasonable prior notice to Mortgagor. All reasonable expenses incurred by
Mortgagee therefor shall be charged to Mortgagor and shall be paid to Mortgagee upon demand.
Mortgagee acknowledges that any material modification of the Permits or the Approved Site Plan
shall be a default hereunder unless Mortgagor first obtains Mortgagees written consent which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
- 13 -
19. RELEASE PROVISIONS.
a. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 19, Mortgagee shall
execute and deliver to Mortgagor partial releases of the Lots and the portion of the
Mortgaged Property located North of Alico Road in Sections 6
and 7, Township 46 South, Range 26 East of Lee County, Florida consisting of
approximately 389.658 acres as is more particularly described on Exhibit A
attached hereto (Section 6/7 Property).
(i) No such releases will be executed without the Applicable
Release Payment (as defined herein) being made to Mortgagee.
Mortgagor shall receive credits (the Release Credits) for
application to the Applicable Release Payment for the Section 6/7
Property and/or any Lots equal to: (x) the cash payment made by
Mortgagor to Mortgagee at the Closing of the Purchase and Sale
Agreement (hereafter defined) plus (y) principal payments made under
the Note, including without limitation, awards or compensation
resulting from condemnation proceedings or takings under the power
of eminent domain, minus (z) the remaining payments (the Remaining
Rinker Payments) due to Rinker Materials of Florida, Inc., its
successors or assigns (hereafter Rinker) pursuant to
Sections 2(a)(ii) and 2(a)(iii) of the Release Agreement (as defined
in the Four Party Agreement). The Release Credits which are
available to Mortgagor shall be increased dollar for dollar as the
amount of the Remaining Rinker Payments are reduced by any cash
payments made to Rinker by Mortgagor or any guarantor or by Rinkers
application of the Royalty Abatements and/or Set-off/Recoupment
Rights in accordance with the Four Party Agreement (as such terms
are defined therein) or by any other reductions thereto, subject to
Rinkers certified confirmation thereof. For example, if Rinker
certifies on December 31, 2009, that an additional $1,000,000.00 of
Royalty Abatements and/or Set-off/Recoupment Rights have been
credited to reduce the Remaining Rinker Payments, the Release
Credits which are available to Mortgagor pursuant to the Mortgage
shall be increased by $1,000,000.00.
(ii) Mortgagee hereby acknowledges the receipt from Mortgagor of the
$6,290,000.00 cash payment made by Mortgagor to Mortgagee at the
Closing of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Special Principal
Payment (as defined in the Note) of $3,775,000.00, the Second
Principal Payment ( as defined in the Note) of $445,000.00 and the
Third Principal Payment of $2,000,000.00 made concurrently with the
execution and delivery of the Note and this Mortgage for a total of
$12,510,000.00 in cash and principal payments (collectively, Prior
Payments). Mortgagor and Mortgagee hereby acknowledge that the
balance of the Remaining Rinker Payments is equal to $6,075,484.00
after giving effect to the royalties earned under the Rinker Leases
to and including August 30, 2008. Thus, as of the date of this
Mortgage and after giving effect to the Prior Payments and such
royalties
earned, $6,434,516.00 in Release Credits are available to Mortgagor
to be applied to Applicable Release Payments.
- 14 -
(iii) It is anticipated that Mortgagor will obtain approval from Lee
County, Florida to record one or more subdivision plats of all or
part of the Land for the development of 336 Lots in accordance with
the Approved Site Plan and the phase I development order for 180
Lots (Phase 1 Development Order) and a phase II development order
for approximately 156 Lots (Phase II Development Order), subject
to issuance thereof. The required release payment (Per Lot Release
Payment) to obtain the release of each Lot from the lien of this
Mortgage will be (A) an amount equal to $189,905.66 per Lot for the
first 53 Lots, and (B) an amount equal to $212,279.15 per Lot for
the remaining 283 Lots. Until the Note is paid in full, the total
amount used to calculate the Per Lot Release Payment is $70,140,000
(Total Partial Release Amount) which is equal to ($189,906.66 x 53
Lots) + ($212,279.15 x 283 Lots). The required release payment to
obtain the release of the Section 6/7 Property from the lien of this
Mortgage is $5,000,000 (Section 6/7 Release Payment). The
applicable release payment to obtain the release of any Lot or the
Section 6/7 Property, whether it be a Per Lot Release Payment or the
Section 6/7 Release Payment, is sometimes referred to herein as the
Applicable Release Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
number of Lots approved on one or more subdivision plats of any
portion of the Land recorded by Mortgagor in the Public Records of
Lee County, Florida after approval by Lee County, Florida and
Mortgagee (Subdivision Plat or Subdivision Plats if more than
one) is more or less than 336 Lots, the Per Lot Release Payment
required after the first 53 lots will determined by dividing
$60,075,000 by the product of (the total number of Lots on the
Subdivision Plats minus the 53 Lots agreed to be released for a Per
Lot Release Payment of $189,905.66 per Lot). For example, if there
are 340 Lots, the Per Lot Release Payment after the first 53 Lots
will be $209,320.56 [calculated as follows: $60,075,000 / (340 Lots
53 Lots) = $209,320.56], and, if there are 330 Lots, the Per Lot
Release Payment after the first 53 Lots will be $216,877.26
[calculated as follows: $60,075,000 / (330 Lots 53 Lots) =
$216,877.26]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after both the
issuance of the Phase I Development Order and the release of the
first 53 Lots from the lien of the Mortgage but prior to the
issuance of the Phase II Development Order, the Applicable Release
Payment required for all remaining Lots permitted by the Phase I
Development Order shall be $212,279.15; and, in the event that the
total number of Lots
permitted by the Phase I Development Order and the Phase II
Development Order and shown on the Subdivision Plats subsequently
turns out to be more or less than 336 Lots, the Per Lot Release
Payment required for all Lots in the Phase II Development Order (and
any unreleased Lots in the Phase I Development Order) will be
adjusted such that (A) the required Per Lot Release Payment for each
remaining Lot will be the same, and (B) the payment of the last Per
Lot Release Payment to Mortgagee will result in Mortgagee receiving
the Total Partial Release Amount.
- 15 -
(iv) Additional Security for Mortgagee. As a requirement for
recording any Subdivision Plat or Subdivision Plats for any portion
of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor shall either: (i) include
Mortgagee as an additional beneficiary on any bond, letter of credit
or other security required by Lee County (the Subdivision Bond) in
connection with the recording of such Subdivision Plat(s) to ensure
completion of any subdivision infrastructure improvements located
therein which Lee County requires to be bonded, or (ii) if Lee
County does not allow Mortgagee to be named a beneficiary of the
Subdivision Bond posted with Lee County, post a bond, letter of
credit or other security for the benefit of Mortgagee (the
Mortgagee Bond) in an equal amount and equal quality to and on
substantially the same terms as the Subdivision Bond required to be
posted with Lee County to ensure completion of such subdivision
infrastructure improvements. If (i) Mortgagor does not complete
such subdivision improvements on or before the date required under
the Subdivision Bond provided to Lee County, or (ii) Mortgagee
acquires title to the Mortgaged Property or a portion thereof
through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise and
Mortgagee completes such subdivision infrastructure improvements,
Mortgagee and its successors and/or assigns shall have the right to
draw on the Subdivision Bond or Mortgagee Bond, as applicable,
provided to Mortgagee for payment of any cost which Mortgagee and
its successors and/or assigns, expend to complete the subdivision
infrastructure improvements secured by such Subdivision Bond or
Mortgagee Bond. Mortgagor shall not have the right to have any Lot
released unless (i) the Lot is included in a Subdivision Plat which
has been recorded in Lee County, Florida and (ii) all of the
requirements set forth herein with respect to the bonding of
subdivision infrastructure improvements have been satisfied.
However, none of the provisions of this subparagraph shall apply to
the release of the Section 6/7 Property.
- 16 -
b. By its acceptance of this Mortgage and the Note, the Mortgagee agrees that, so long as the
Mortgagor shall not be in default beyond any applicable grace or cure period
at the time of any requested release, of any of the stipulations, agreements, conditions and
covenants of the Note or this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall, upon the request of the Mortgagor in
accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage and the payment or prepayment on account of the
principal amount of the indebtedness represented by the Note of the Applicable Release Payment
hereinafter specified, release portions of the Mortgaged Property from the lien and encumbrance
hereof upon and subject to the conditions, set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
regardless of the duration of any grace or cure periods or the absence thereof, if any such default
has occurred, in all events Mortgagor shall have a fifteen (15) day period (the Release Period)
from the delivery of a notice from Mortgagee to Mortgagor declaring any default and/or accelerating
the Note to request a release of Lots and/or the Section 6/7 Property, subject to the satisfaction
of the release requirements set forth in this Mortgage. After the expiration of the Release Period
following any such default, Mortgagor shall not be permitted to request a release of Lots and/or
the Section 6/7 Property unless Mortgagor has cured any such default within the applicable cure
period provided in the Note or this Mortgage. In addition, prior to any such release Mortgagor
shall have the right to cause a reduction in the balance of the Remaining Rinker Payments (by
making payments to Rinker or obtaining a current certification from Rinker of the royalties earned
or otherwise) and a corresponding increase in the balance of the available Release Credits for
application to the Applicable Release Payments. For purposes hereof, the release of the Mortgaged
Property from the Four Party Agreement such that Rinker shall have no claim against Mortgagee or
the Mortgaged Property (other than the Section 6/7 Property if it is being or has been released
from the Mortgage) for recovery of the Remaining Rinker Payments, shall be deemed a payment in full
of the Remaining Rinker Payments.
(i) Release of Lots or Section 6/7 Property from the lien of this
Mortgage. Mortgagor may elect, at any time prior to payment of the Note in
full, by means of a written request delivered to Mortgagee (each and every such
request being a Release Request) prior to the end of the Release Period, if
applicable, to request the release from the lien of this Mortgage any Lots specified
by Mortgagor as shown on a Subdivision Plat approved by Lee County or the Section
6/7 Property, upon payment to Mortgagee of the required Applicable Release Payment
(as determined in accordance with the procedure set forth in Paragraph 19(a) above)
including any election to apply Release Credits for such Lots or Section 6/7
Property which the Mortgagor desires to be released. Upon submission to Mortgagee
of any such Release Request and the Applicable Release Payment (including any
election to apply Release Credits) and, in the case of a Release Request pertaining
to Lots, the applicable Subdivision Plat and the Subdivision Bond and Mortgagee
Bond, if applicable, required pursuant to Paragraph 19(a) above, Mortgagee shall
execute a partial release of mortgage, sufficient for recording in the official
records of Lee County, Florida, which releases from the lien of this Mortgage the
Lots or Section 6/7 Property identified by Mortgagor in such Release Request.
- 17 -
(ii) Application Against Minimum Annual Principal Payments. Mortgagor
shall be required, at the times specified in the Note, to make the required Minimum
Annual Principal Payments (as defined in the Note) due pursuant to the terms of the
Note. All sums paid by Mortgagor in any given year
for the release of Lots and/or the Section 6/7 Property, in accordance with any
Release Request or otherwise, shall be credited towards the Minimum Annual Principal
Payment due under the Note for such year (or if applicable, the following year or
years until the credit is exhausted), thus thereby reducing the balance of the
Minimum Annual Principal Payment due in such year by the amount so paid. In the
event that Mortgagor does not make a Release Request in any given year or the
Release Request(s) made by Mortgagor in any given year do not result in a payment to
Mortgagee of the total amount of the Minimum Annual Principal Payment due for such
year under the Note, then Mortgagor may specify to Mortgagee, at the time Mortgagor
makes such years Minimum Annual Principal Payment or any balance thereof which is
due, the Lots desired and identified by Mortgagor by reference to the Subdivision
Plat to be released by Mortgagee (and/or the Section 6/7 Property desired by
Mortgagor to be released) from the lien of this Mortgage, the value of which Lots
(or Section 6/7 Property) shall not exceed the Minimum Annual Principal Payment.
Upon delivery of any such Release Request and payment by Mortgagor to Mortgagee of
any Minimum Annual Principal Payment, Mortgagee shall deliver a partial release of
mortgage, sufficient for recording in the official records of Lee County, Florida,
which releases from the lien of this Mortgage the Lots or Section 6/7 Property so
requested by Mortgagor to be released. If at any time during the term of the Note,
Mortgagor makes any payments of principal thereunder but does not desire any
particular release at the time of such payment, then such payment shall increase the
balance of Mortgagors Release Credits and at any time thereafter but prior to the
end of the Release Period, if applicable, Mortgagor shall be entitled to submit a
Release Request to Mortgagee requesting release of Lots or Section 6/7 Property and
upon submission of such Release Request to Mortgagee and election to apply Release
Credits in the amount of the Applicable Release Payment and in the case of Lots, the
other deliveries required pursuant to Paragraph 19(a), Mortgagee shall deliver a
partial release of mortgage, sufficient for recording in the official records of Lee
County, Florida, which releases from the lien of this Mortgage the Lots identified
by Mortgagor by reference to the Subdivision Plat or the Section 6/7 Property, as
may be requested by Mortgagor.
- 18 -
(iii) Release of Portions of the Mortgaged Property to be Used for Golf
Courses and Infrastructure and Common Improvements. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, from time to time upon satisfaction of the Project
Infrastructure Release Conditions (hereinafter defined), Mortgagor shall be entitled
to obtain a release from the lien of this Mortgage, without the necessity of any
payment being made under the Note, of any portion of the Mortgaged Property shown on
the Approved Site Plan (as such plan may be amended from time to time in accordance
with Paragraph 1 hereof) to be designated for use as, or on which will be
constructed, a golf course or golf courses, lakes, roads, utilities, rights-of-way,
or other infrastructure improvements, common improvements or facilities (i.e.,
improvements or facilities which are for the common use and benefit of more than one
lot or unit)
for the benefit of and/or necessary or required for or by Mortgagors
development, the public, any homeowners association or any community development
district, all as contemplated by the Approved Site Plan (the golf courses and other
infrastructure improvements and common facilities shall be hereinafter collectively
referred to as the Approved Common Infrastructure Improvements). Should Mortgagor
at any time desire to have released any portion of the Mortgaged Property for the
purpose of using such portions of the Mortgaged Property for Approved Common
Infrastructure Improvements, Mortgagor shall deliver a written request to Mortgagee
(each and every such request being a Project Infrastructure Release Request)
wherein Mortgagor shall specify the acreage tracts to be released and the use for
such acreage tracts, which request shall be accompanied by evidence, or state the
date on which such evidence is estimated to be available, that all of the following
conditions ( Project Infrastructure Release Conditions) have been satisfied by
Mortgagor: (i) Mortgagor shall not be in default under this Mortgage at the time of
any requested release beyond the end of the Release Period, unless such default is
cured within the applicable grace or cure period; (ii) Mortgagor has entered into a
construction contract with an unaffiliated contractor for the construction of the
particular improvements that qualify as Approved Common Infrastructure Improvements
on the land requested by Mortgagor to be released, which construction contract shall
only include the particular Approved Common Infrastructure Improvements to be
constructed on the land to be released, and (iii) the land to be released shall only
include the land necessary for construction of the Approved Common Infrastructure
Improvements which are the subject of the construction contract, (iv) Mortgagor
shall have obtained a surety payment and performance bond for the work subject to
the construction contract in the amount of 100% of the construction contract price,
(v) Mortgagor shall have obtained all development and/or building permits necessary
for construction of the Approved Common Infrastructure Improvements which are the
subject of the construction contract, (vi) at the time of such release, Mortgagor
shall assign to Mortgagee as additional and collateral security Mortgagors rights
under the construction contract and the surety bonds (such collateral security
agreements shall allow Mortgagor to exercise all rights thereunder as the owner) and
(vii) in respect to any land to be released for a Golf Course to be constructed in
accordance with the Approved Site Plan, then also, the Golf Course shall be made
subject to a declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions, that cannot be
amended without the consent of Mortgagee that (a) restricts the use of the Golf
Course land being released to only a golf course and (b) provides for play on the
golf course when it is completed by all owners of lots and/or units in the land
remaining encumbered by this Mortgage and allows such owners to purchase memberships
in the applicable golf club on the same basis as the owners of lots and/or units in
the Mortgaged Property that has been released from the lien of this Mortgage. Upon
the submission by Mortgagor to Mortgagee of any Project Infrastructure Release
Request with evidence appropriate to show satisfaction of the above conditions,
Mortgagee shall execute a partial release of mortgage, sufficient for recording in
the official records of Lee County, Florida, which releases from the lien of
this Mortgage the portion of the Mortgaged Property which is the subject of the
Project Infrastructure Release Request.
- 19 -
(iv) Security Withdrawal. Notwithstanding any provision in the
Mortgage to the contrary, if Mortgagee acquires title to all or any part of the
Mortgaged Property through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise,
Mortgagor shall have the right to withdraw the Subdivision Bond that it posted with
Lee County in connection with the recording of any Subdivision Plat(s) (Security
Withdrawal), subject to compliance with the requirements of this subparagraph, as
long as no sales of Lots or any other portion of the Mortgage Property have been
made to third parties, provided that Mortgagor provides written notice of such
election to Mortgagee within the later to occur of i) 120 days of such transfer of
title to Mortgagee, or ii) in the event any appeal, bankruptcy filing or other legal
proceeding is instituted in a court of competent jurisdiction challenging any
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other transfer of title, thirty (30)
days after a final nonappealable adjudication is rendered which affirms such
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other transfer of title (Final
Vesting). In such event, Mortgagee and its successors and assigns shall have the
right to replace such Subdivision Bond provided by Mortgagor to Lee County and if
the Subdivision Bond is not replaced within ninety (90) days from the later to occur
of i) the time Mortgagor provides Mortgagee notice of such election, or ii) Final
Vesting, Mortgagor may proceed to vacate the Subdivision Plat(s). In such event, as
part of such Security Withdrawal, notwithstanding any provision contained in this
Mortgage or otherwise to the contrary, Mortgagor will reconvey by special warranty
deed to Mortgagee any Lots and other portions of the Mortgaged Property, if any,
which have been released to Mortgagor from the Mortgage, except for the Section 6/7
Property which Mortgagor shall be entitled to retain in the event of a Security
Withdrawal. The special warranty deed shall be subject only to the Permitted
Exceptions, as hereinafter defined. All documentary stamp taxes shall be paid by
Mortgagor. All real estate taxes, CDD assessments and other special assessments
shall be prorated as of the date of transfer. Mortgagor shall pay for owners title
insurance for Mortgagee at promulgated rate which will be supplied by Mortgagees
counsel or title company selected by Mortgagee. Permitted Exceptions shall mean
the matters set forth on Exhibit B, all items affecting title created by
Mortgagee, all matters affecting title which were reasonably created in obtaining
development approvals relating to the Mortgaged Property, all easements created for
utilities, drainage or access, all matters which would be shown by an accurate
survey of the Mortgaged Property and any other matters of record approved by
Mortgagee (collectively, the Permitted Exceptions). The provisions of this
subparagraph (iv) and the last sentence of Section 1 hereof (collectively, the
Surviving Provisions) shall survive foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure
or other transfer of title and the obligations of Mortgagor and Mortgagee relating
thereto shall remain binding and enforceable against
Mortgagor and Mortgagee and their respective successors and assigns even after
a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or other transfer of title has
occurred. Mortgagee can record an affidavit of its compliance with any of the
requirements of the Surviving Provisions and the Mortgage and Mortgagor acknowledges
that any third party shall have the right to rely upon such affidavit.
- 20 -
c. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event that any release of
property requested by Mortgagor would result in any of the Mortgaged Property remaining encumbered
by the lien of this Mortgage being landlocked without access to publicly dedicated roads and/or

The interest rate on this Note shall be adjusted from and after the date of any change in HSH
30-day LIBOR.
2. As of September 28, 2007, all accrued interest on this Note not previously added to the
Principal Amount of the Original Note in the amount of Six Million Fifty-Five Thousand and no/100
Dollars ($6,055,000.00) has been paid in full. After September 28, 2007, interest shall be payable

As of September 28, 2007, Maker made a principal payment (the Second Principal Payment) on the

with all accrued and unpaid interest due on the Maturity Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Maker has at any time during any given year prior
to any Anniversary Date, paid any or all of such years Minimum Annual Principal Payment, then on
the Anniversary Date of such year, Maker shall only be required to pay the balance due towards the
Minimum Annual Principal Payment for such year which has not been paid as of the Anniversary Date.
Additionally, in the event that Maker, in any given year, pays more than such years Minimum Annual
Principal Payment, then such credit balance shall be carried over to the next succeeding year and
shall reduce the amount of the next years Minimum Annual Principal Payment by the excess amount
paid in the previous year. All such payments of principal shall be applied to the then outstanding
principal balance of this Note provided all interest due and payable as of such date has been paid
in full to Payee and, if not, such payments shall be applied first to interest and then to
principal.
4. All payments of principal and interest shall be made in legal tender of the United States
and shall be by wire transfer, cashiers check or other readily available funds acceptable to

6. This Note is secured by that certain Mortgage Deed, dated July 12, 2005, executed by Maker

Mortgage Deed dated as of December 27, 2007 and recorded on January 2, 2008 at Instrument
No. 2008000000470 of the Public Records of Lee County, Florida, and that certain Amended and

security, the rights of the Payee in respect thereof and the terms and conditions upon which this

7. If any principal, interest or other sums payable under this Note or under the Mortgage are

covenants contained herein or in the Mortgage, which nonmonetary default is not cured within thirty
(30) days after written notice from Payee to Maker or if such nonmonetary default by its nature
cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, Maker within said thirty (30) days has not commenced to
cure said default and thereafter actually cured such default within six (6) months after such
notice subject to force majeure, then the Principal Amount and accrued interest shall become due
and payable immediately, at the option of the holder hereof.
Failure to exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the
same in the event of any subsequent default.
- 3 -
8. Maker agrees to pay all costs of collection of this Note including reasonable attorneys
fees, and all costs, expenses and attorneys fees for any retrial, rehearing or appeals. Any and

or under the Mortgage shall bear interest at the rate which is five percent (5%) higher than the
rate of interest in effect under this Note at the time of such default from the date when such sums
are due until paid. The interest payable or agreed to be paid hereunder shall not exceed the
highest lawful rate of interest permitted in the State of Florida, and if, inadvertently, there is

Note is then paid in full.
9. The Maker hereby waives presentment for payment, protest, notice, notice of protest and
notice of dishonor and agrees to remain and continue to be bound for the payment of all sums due

enforce any deficiency judgment against Maker and that Payees sole remedy shall be limited to its
rights of repossession, foreclosure or sale of the Mortgaged Property as provided in the Mortgage
and such other rights in or recourse to the property, both real and personal, hypothecated by Maker
under the Mortgage.
11. Time is of the essence with respect to all obligations hereunder.
12. This Note shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of Florida. Venue for any
action concerning this Note shall be in Lee County, Florida.
13. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without penalty, and any
prepayment shall apply first to accrued interest that is due and payable and then to the Principal
Amount.
14. This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing, signed by the
party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.
15. The words Maker and Payee shall include their respective successors, assigns, heirs,
executors and administrators.
