1. The Principal Amount remaining unpaid under this Note from time to time shall bear interest in arrears as follows: commencing on July 12, 2005, and continuing until September 27, 2009 the interest rate shall be HSH 30-day LIBOR (hereafter defined) plus 150 basis points per annum; commencing on September 28, 2009 and continuing until September 27, 2010, the interest rate shall be HSH 30-day LIBOR plus 200 basis points per annum; and commencing on September 28, 2010 and continuing until September 28, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”), the interest rate shall be HSH 30-day LIBOR plus 250 basis points per annum. As of September 28, 2006, a portion of the interest which had accrued as of that date in the amount of One Million Seven Hundred Seventeen Thousand Six Hundred Eighty-Eight and 20/100 Dollars ($1,717,688.20) (the “Principal Addition”) was added to the Principal Amount of the Original Note as of that date. For purposes of this Note, HSH 30-day LIBOR shall mean the 1-month HSH LIBOR rate published by HSH Associates Financial Publishers or, if such index is no longer published, another comparable 30-day LIBOR index reasonably selected by Payee. 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 quarterly on December 28, 2007, March 28, 2008, June 28, 2008, September 28, 2008, and each quarter thereafter until the Maturity Date and the entire Principal Amount and all interest have been paid in full.

As of September 28, 2006, Maker made a special principal payment (“Special Principal Payment”) on the Original Note in an amount of Three Million Seven Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($3,775,000.00). Due to the Special Principal Payment and the Principal Addition the outstanding principal amount of the Original Note, as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Renewal Promissory Note and this Note, is $54,552,668.20. Maker shall make a principal payment (each, a “Minimum Annual Principal Payment”) on September 28^th of the following years (each, an “Anniversary Date”) as follows: an amount equal to Four Hundred Forty-Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($445,000.00) on September 28, 2007; an amount equal to the difference between (x) Six Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($6,750,000.00) and (y) the interest accrued and paid on this Note for the period from September 28, 2007 to and including September 28, 2008, on September 28, 2008; an amount equal to Twelve Million and no/100 Dollars ($12,000,000.00) on September 28, 2009; an amount equal to Twelve Million and no/100 Dollars ($12,000,000.00) on September 28, 2010; a final payment of the remaining unpaid balance of Principal Amount together 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 year’s 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 year’s 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 year’s 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, cashier’s check or other readily available funds acceptable to Payee.

5. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Maker has the right to setoff against the next ensuing payments Maker is otherwise obligated to make hereunder, all costs and expenses of Maker specified in Section 5 of the Fourth Amendment (as defined herein).

6. This Note is secured by that certain Mortgage Deed, dated July 12, 2005, executed by Maker in favor of Payee, recorded on July 13, 2005 at OR Book 4795, page 2848 in the Public Records of Lee County, Florida, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Mortgage Deed, effective as of July 12, 2005, and recorded on December 22, 2006, in Instrument Number 2006000474156, of the Public Records of Lee County, Florida, as amended by that certain Second Amendment to Mortgage Deed effective September 28, 2007, executed by Maker in favor of Payee, to be recorded in aforesaid records (collectively, the “Mortgage”) to which reference is hereby made for a description of the Mortgaged Property (as defined in the Mortgage), the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the Payee in respect thereof and the terms and conditions upon which this Note is issued.

Failure to exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent default.

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 all sums due hereunder after a default beyond any applicable grace or cure period under this Note or under the Mortgage shall bear interest at the rate which is five percent (5%) higher than the rate of

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 such excess sum, it shall be applied to reduce the Principal Amount or returned to Maker if this 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 under this Note notwithstanding any renewals or extension of the time for payment of sums due hereunder or any changes by way of release, surrender or substitution of any security for this Note, and waive all and every kind of notice of such extensions or changes.

10. The Maker shall be exculpated from personal liability for payment of the indebtedness represented hereby and Payee, by acceptance hereof agrees that it shall not seek, be entitled to or enforce any deficiency judgment against Maker and that Payee’s 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.
