PROMISSORY NOTE
(NON-REVOLVER)
$4,188,163.00 Miami, Florida
January 29, 2003.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Maker promises to pay to the order
of Holder, OCEAN BANK, a Florida Banking Corporation, 000 X.X. 00xx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, 00000, the principal sum of FOUR MILLION ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY
EIGHT THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED SIXTY THREE AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($4,188,163.00), or so
much thereof as may be disbursed, with interest from date at the rate of
interest hereinafter specified:
Monthly payments of interest only at the rate of ONE HALF OF ONE
PERCENT (0.50%) PER ANNUM over the prime rate as charged by CITIBANK, N.A., NEW
YORK, NEW YORK, BUT IN NO EVENT LESS THAN FIVE AND THREE QUARTERS PERCENT
(5.75%) PER ANNUM. First payment to commence thirty days from the date hereof
and subsequent monthly payments thereafter until thirty (30) months from the
date hereof when the then entire outstanding principal balance together with all
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be due and payable. Provided that
this Note, or any of its supporting loan documents, are not in default, Maker
herein shall have the option to extend the maturity date specified herein for an
additional six (6) months upon payment to Holder of an extension fee equal to
one quarter of one percent (0.25% of 1%) of the then committed* amount (*the
then outstanding principal balance plus any un-disbursed loan funds). The
interest rate in effect on this Note may change as often as daily and an
increase in the interest rate will cause an increase in the interest payments.
Except as otherwise required by law or by the provisions of this Note
or any other loan document, payments received by Holder hereunder shall be
applied first against expenses and indemnities, next against interest accrued on
the loan, and next in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the
loan, except that from and after any default under this Note, Holder may apply
such payments in any order of priority determined by Holder in its exclusive
judgment.
If CITIBANK, N.A., NEW YORK, NY, ceases to announce a prime rate, then,
in that event, Prime Rate shall mean the rate of interest published in The Wall
Street Journal from time to time as the "Prime Rate." If more than one "Prime
Rate" is published in The Wall Street Journal for a day, the average of the
"Prime Rates" shall be used, and such average shall be rounded up to the nearest
one-quarter of one percent (.25%). If The Wall Street Journal ceases to publish
the "Prime Rate," Lender shall select an equivalent publication that publishes
such "Prime Rate," and if such prime rates are no longer generally published or
are limited, regulated or administered by a governmental or quasi-governmental
body, then the Lender shall select a comparable interest rate index.
Interest will accrue at the rate of l/360th of the annual interest for
each day that principal is outstanding, but in no event shall interest be due at
a rate in excess of EIGHTEEN PERCENT (18.0%) PER ANNUM.
If payment is not received by Holder on/or before TEN (10) DAYS after
the due date, then the interest rate thereafter will automatically increase to
eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum and will remain at said rate until the
payments are completely brought up to date and current.
The Holder hereof shall have the optional right to declare the
principal sum disbursed hereunder and all accrued interest thereon to be due and
forthwith payable in advance of the maturity date fixed herein upon the failure
of the undersigned to pay, when due and failure to cure after ten (10) days
written notice to Maker, any one

of the installments of interest or, at the option of the Holder, upon the
occurrence of any other Event of Default by the undersigned in the Mortgage
securing this Note which is not cured within thirty (30) days after written
notice. Failure to exercise this option with respect to any failure or breach by
the undersigned shall not constitute a waiver of the right as to any subsequent
failure or breach.
This Note may be prepaid in full or in part prior to maturity without
premium or penalty.
This Note and the Mortgage which it secures shall be non-assumable.
While in default, and after the expiration of any applicable grace
period, this Note shall bear interest at the rate of EIGHTEEN PERCENT (18.0%)
PER ANNUM.
In no event shall interest (including any charge or fee held to be
interest by a court of competent jurisdiction) accrue to be payable herein in
excess of the highest contract rate allowable by law for the time such
indebtedness shall be outstanding and unpaid, and if by reason of the
acceleration of maturity of such indebtedness or for any other reason, interest
in excess of the highest legal rate shall be due or paid, any such excess shall
constitute and be treated as a payment on the principal hereof and shall operate
to reduce such principal by the amount of such excess, or if in excess of the
principal indebtedness such excess shall be paid or refunded to the Maker.
All parties liable for the payment of this Note agree to pay the Holder
hereof a reasonable attorneys' fee for the services of counsel employed after
default or demand to collect this Note, or to protect or enforce the security
thereof, whether or not suit be brought. Presentment, protest, notice of
dishonor and notice of protest of this Note are hereby waived by all parties now
or hereafter liable hereon, whether as makers, endorsers, or otherwise.
This Note is secured by a Mortgage Deed and Construction Loan Agreement
of even date. This Note and said Deed are being delivered in the State of
Florida and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights
of the parties shall be governed by, the laws thereof.
This Note is being delivered in the State of Florida and shall be

Mortgage and any other document evidencing the loan are hereby made a part of
this instrument.
This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in
writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change,
modification or discharge is sought.
