This Note is subject to all of the agreements, conditions, covenants,
provisions and stipulations contained in the mortgage and the other loan
documents executed in connection therewith and herewith (together with the
Mortgage, collectively, the "Loan Documents"), and Borrower covenants and agrees
to keep and perform them, or cause them to be kept and performed, strictly in
accordance with their terms. Any default by Borrower under any of the Loan
Documents may, at Lender's option, be treated as an event of default hereunder.

thereto under the terms of this Note, or of the other Loan Documents, then there

covenants, provisions or stipulations contained in this Note or any of the other
Loan Documents, then Lender, at its option and without notice to Borrower unless
expressly required elsewhere herein, may declare immediately due and payable the
entire unpaid balance of principal with interest accrued thereon at the then
otherwise applicable rate specified herein above to the date of default and
thereafter at the Maximum Legal Rate (as defined herein) of interest chargeable

under the Loan Documents, anything herein or in the Loan Documents to the
contrary notwithstanding and payment thereof may be enforced and recovered in
whole or in part at any time by one or more of the remedies provided to Lender
in this Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. In such case, Lender may
also recover all costs of suit and other expenses in connection therewith,
together with a reasonable attorney's fee for collection, together with
interest, at the Default Rate, on any judgment obtained by Lender from and after
the date of any execution, judicial or foreclosure sale until actual payment is
made to Lender of the full amount due Lender.
The failure of the Lender to exercise such option to accelerate the
indebtedness evidenced hereby shall not constitute a waiver of the right to
exercise such option at any other time so long as such event of default remains
outstanding and uncured.
The remedies of Lender as provided herein, or in the other Loan
Documents, and the warrants contained herein or attached hereto or contained in
the other Loan Documents, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued
singly, successively or together at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be
exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise
any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release
thereof.
Borrower hereby waives and releases all errors, defects and
imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Lender under the terms of this
Note or of the other Loan Documents, as well as all benefit that might accrue to
Borrower by virtue of any present or future laws exempting the collateral
described in the Mortgage, or any other property, real or personal, or any part
of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property, from attachment,
levy or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution to be
issued on any judgment recovered on this Note or in any action to seek its
remedies under the Mortgage, exemption from civil process, or extension of time
for payment; and Borrower agrees that any real estate that may be levied upon
pursuant to OR145628;1 2
a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, on any writ of execution issued thereon,
may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by
Lender.
Borrower and all endorsers, sureties and guarantors hereby jointly and
severally waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of demand, notice of
nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Note, and all
other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default,
or enforcement of the payment of this Note, and they agree that the liability of
each of them shall be unconditional, joint and several, without regard to the
liability of any other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any
indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or
consented to by Lender. Borrower and all endorsers, sureties and guarantors
consent to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications
that may be granted by Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions of
this Note, and to the release of the collateral or any part thereof, with or
without substitution, and agree that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors or
sureties may become parties hereto without notice to them of affecting their
liability hereunder.
If any provision of this Note is held to be invalid or unenforceable by
a court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Note shall
remain in full force and effect and shall be liberally construed in favor of
Lender in order to effect the provisions of this Note. In addition, in no event
shall the rate of interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest
permitted to be charged by applicable law (including the choice of law rules)
(hereinafter the "Maximum Legal Rate") and any interest paid in excess of the
permitted rate shall be refunded to Borrower. Such refund shall be made by
application of the excessive amount of interest paid against any sums
outstanding and shall be applied in such order as Lender may determine. If the
excessive amount of interest paid exceeds the sums outstanding, the portion
exceeding the said sums outstanding shall be refunded in cash by Lender. Any
such crediting or refund shall not cure or waive any default by Borrower
hereunder. Borrower agrees, however, that in determining whether or not any
interest payable under this Note exceeds the highest rate permitted by law, any
non-principal payment, including, without limitation, prepayment fees and late
charges, shall be deemed to the extent permitted by law, to be an expense, fee,
premium or penalty rather than as interest.

specific contingency exceeds the ,Maximum Legal Rate, Lender shall, to the
maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (a) exclude voluntary prepayments
and the effects thereof; and (b) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in
equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated
term of this Note so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the entire
term of this Note; provided, that if this Note is paid and performed in full
prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if the interest
received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Legal
Rate, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess, and in such
event, no holder shall be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for
contracting for, charging or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Legal
Rate.
Lender shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to
have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in
writing and signed by Lender, and then only to the extent specifically set forth
in the writing. A waiver on one event shall not be construed as continuing or as
a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy to a subsequent event.
This instrument shall be governed by and construed according to the
laws of the State of Florida. Borrower consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the courts of the State of Florida in any and all actions and proceedings,

Borrower and Lender. OR145628;1 3

protection or toxic waste or hazardous substance handling,
treatment, storage or disposal laws, statutes, ordinances,
rules or regulations, relating to the Property or respecting
any products or materials previously, now or hereafter located
upon, delivered to or in try, sit to or from the Property, as
same may be amended, regardless of whether such violation or
alleged, violation or other liability has occurred or arisen
prior to the date hereof or hereafter occurs or arises and
regai8less of whether such
OR145627;1
violation or alleged violation or other liability occurs or
arises as the result of the negligence or misconduct of
MORTGAGOR or any third party or otherwise. This indemnity
shall survive any foreclosure or satisfaction of this Mortgage
as to any such release or threat of release or any such
violation, alleged violation or other liability occurring or
arising prior to such foreclosure.
5. DEPOSITS FOR TAXES AND INSURANCE PREMIUMS-. MORTGAGEE may, at its
option, require MORTGAGOR to deposit with MORTGAGEE on the first day of each
month, in addition to making payments of regular investments of principal and
interest, until the Note is fully paid, an amount equal to one- twelfth (1/1 2)
of the yearly taxes, assessments and other similar charges and/or of the yearly
premiums for all insurance as estimated by MORTGAGEE in order to accumulate with
MORTGAGEE sufficient funds to pay such amounts thirty (30) days prior to their
due dates. Such deposits shall not be, nor be deemed to be, trust funds, but may
be commingled with the general funds of MORTGAGEE, and no interest shall be
payable in respect thereof. Upon demand by MORTGAGEE, MORTGAGOR shall deliver to
MORTGAGEE such additional monies as are necessary to make up any deficiencies in
the amounts necessary to enable MORTGAGEE to pay such premiums when due. In the
event of a default under any of the terms, covenants and conditions' in the
Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, MORTGAGEE may apply to
the reduction of the sums secured hereby in such order, priority and proportions
as MORTGAGEE shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, any amount
under this paragraph remaining on account of such deposits and any return
premium received from cancellation of any insurance policy by MORTGAGEE upon
foreclosure of this Mortgage. Upon an assignment of this Mortgage by MORTGAGEE
and upon assumption by the assignee thereof, of the obligations of MORTGAGEE as
escrow holder, MORTGAGEE shall have the right to pay over the balance of such
deposits in its possession to the assignee. MORTGAGEE shall thereupon be
completely released from all liability with respect to such deposits, and
BORROWERS shall look solely to the assignee or transferee with respect thereto,
except as otherwise provided by applicable law. This provision shall apply to
every transfer of such deposits to a new assignee.
6. PROTECTION OF SECURITY-. MORTGAGEE may appear in and defend any
action or Proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof, and BORROWERS
shall pay all costs and expenses, including costs of evidence of title and
attorney's fees in a reasonable sum as may be allowed by the court, in such
action or proceeding in which MORTGAGEE may appear.
7. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND PROFITS: MORTGAGEE shall have the right,
power and authority during the continuance of this Mortgage to collect the
rents, income, issues and profits of the Property and of any personal property
located thereon with or without taking possession of the Property affected
hereby, and MORTGAGOR hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns all such
rents, income, issues and profits to MORTGAGEE. MORTGAGEE, however, hereby
consents to MORTGAGOR'S collection and retention of such rents, income, issues
and profits as they accrue and become payable so long as MORTGAGOR is not, at
such times, in default as defined herein. MORTGAGOR will not (i) execute an
assignment of any of its right, title or interest in the tenant leases or rents
and profits, or (ii) except where the lessee is in default thereunder, terminate
or consent to the cancellation or surrender of any lease of the Property or of
any part thereof, now existing or hereafter to be made, or (iii) modify any
lease of the Property or any part thereof so as to shorten the unexpired term
thereof or so as to decrease the amount of the rent payable thereunder, or (iv)
accept prepayments of any installments of rent to become due under any of said
leases in excess of one (1) month rental or prepayments in the nature of
security for the performance of the lessee'5 obligations thereunder in excess of
any amount equal to one (1) month rental, or (v) in any other manner impair the
value of the Property or the security of this Mortgage.
Upon any default as defined in this Mortgage, MORTGAGEE may at any
time, either in person, by agent, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court,
without notice and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the
indebtedness hereby secured: (a) enter upon and take possession of toe Property
or any part thereof, and in its own name xxx for or otherwise collect such
rents, income, issues and profits, including those past due and unpaid, and
apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including
OR145627;1
reasonable attorney's fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such
order and priority as MORTGAGEE may determine; (b) perform such acts of repair
or protection as may be necessary or proper to conserve the value of the
Property; and (c) lease the same or any part thereof for such rental, term and
upon such conditions as its judgment may dictate, or terminate or adjust the
terms and conditions of existing leases. In addition, and not as an election of
remedies, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, MORTGAGEE may apply for a
court order requiring MORTGAGOR to deposit all Rents and Profits in the court
registry pursuant to ss.697.07, Florida Statutes, as amended. MORTGAGOR hereby
consents to the entry of such an order upon the sworn, ex parte motion of
MORTGAGEE that an Event of Default has occurred hereunder. Unless MORTGAGOR and
MORTGAGEE agree otherwise in writing, any application of rents, income, issues
or profits to any indebtedness secured hereby shall not extend or postpone the
due date of the installment payments as provided in said Note or change the
amount of such installments. The entering upon, the taking possession of the
Property, the collection of such rents, income, issues and profits, and the
application thereof as described herein, shall not waive or cure any default or
notice of default hereunder, or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
MORTGAGOR also assigns to MORTGAGEE, as further security for the performance of
the Obligations secured hereby, all prepaid rents and all monies which may have
been or may hereafter be deposited with MORTGAGOR by a lease of the Property, to
secure the payment of any rent, and upon default in the performance of any of
the provisions hereof, MORTGAGOR agrees to deliver such rents and deposits to
MORTGAGEE. Delivery of written notice of MORTGAGEE'S exercise of rights granted
herein, to any tenant occupying said premises shall be sufficient to require
said tenant to pay said rent to MORTGAGEE until further notice.
8. CONDEMNATION: Any award of damages, settlement, or compensation in
connection with any eminent domain action for public use of or an injury to the
Property, or any part thereof, is hereby assigned by MORTGAGOR to MORTGAGEE, and
all money received by MORTGAGEE may be applied to the indebtedness secured by
this Mortgage, or released by it in the same manner and with the same effect as
herein provided for the disposition of the proceeds of insurance. Neither the
application nor the release of any such sums shall cure or waive any default or
notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice,
nor shall anything in the section affect the liability of BORROWERS for payment
of the entire balance of the Obligations secured hereby.
9. INSURANCE, CASUALTY, GENERAL LIABILITY AND RESTORATION: MORTGAGOR
shall keep the Improvements and other fixtures upon the premises insured against
such hazards and in such amounts as may be required by MORTGAGEE. After the
happening of any casualty to the Property or any part thereof, MORTGAGOR shall
give prompt written notice thereof to MORTGAGEE. MORTGAGOR shall further
maintain insurance against general liability with respect to damages or injuries
arising from use or occupation of the Property and against such risks or hazards
as MORTGAGEE from time to time reasonably may designate, in form and amounts (in
no event less than the amount of the Loan) satisfactory to MORTGAGEE. In the
event of any damage to or destruction of the Improvements, MORTGAGEE shall have
the option, in its sole discretion, of applying all or part of the insurance
proceeds: a) to the Obligations, in such order, priority and proportion as
MORTGAGEE may determine in its sole and absolute discretion; b) to the
restoration of the Improvements; or c) to MORTGAGOR. In the event of such loss
or damage, all proceeds of insurance shall be payable to MORTGAGEE, and
MORTGAGOR hereby assigns said proceeds to MORTGAGEE, and authorizes and directs
any affected insurance company to make payment of such proceeds directly to
MORTGAGEE. MORTGAGEE is hereby authorized and empowered by MORTGAGOR to settle,
adjust or compromise any claims for loss, damage or destruction under any policy
or policies of insurance. Except to the extent that insurance proceeds are
received by MORTGAGEE and applied to the Obligations, nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to excuse MORTGAGOR from repairing or maintaining the Prop" as
provided in this Mortgage or restoring all damage or destruction on to the
Property, regardless of whether or not there are insurance proceeds available or
whether any such proceeds are sufficient in amount, and the application or
release by MORTGAGEE of any insurance proceeds shall not cure or waive any
default or notice of default under this Mortgage or invalidate any act done
pursuant to such notice. All insurance policies required shall be written with
companies satisfactory to MORTGAGEE, shall
Oltl45627;1
6
contain non-contributory standard mortgagee clauses, shall name MORTGAGEE as an
additional insured, shall be maintained, throughout the term of the loan without
cost to MORTGAGEE, and shall contain such provisions as MORTGAGEE deems
necessary or desirable to protect its interest including, without limitation, a
provision for thirty (30) days prior written notice to MORTGAGEE of cancellation
of or any change in the risk or coverages insured. Whenever required by
MORTGAGEE, certified copies of such policies of insurance shall be delivered
immediately to and held by MORTGAGEE.
10. PARTIAL PAYMENT: Acceptance by MORTGAGEE of any sum in payment or
part payment of any portion of the Obligations after the same is due shall not
constitute a waiver of MORTGAGEE'S right to require prompt payment when due of
the remainder of the Obligations, nor shall such acceptance cure or waive any
remaining default or waive any subsequent default or prejudice any of the rights
of MORTGAGEE under this Mortgage.
11. ACTIONS BY MORTGAGEE: Without affecting the personal liability of
any person, including MORTGAGOR or any guarantor (other than any person released
pursuant hereto), for the payment of the Obligations, and without affecting the
lien of this Mortgage for the full amount of the Obligations remaining unpaid
upon any property conveyed pursuant hereto, MORTGAGEE is authorized and
empowered at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity
of the Note, and without notice, to: (a) release any person liable for the
payment of any of the Obligations, (b) make any agreement extending the time or
otherwise modifying the terms of payment of any of the Obligations, (c) accept
additional security therefor of any kind or (d) release any property, real or
personal, securing the Obligations.

with generally accepted accounting principles. BORROWERS also agrees to submit,
any and all other financial information as may be reasonably requested by
MORTGAGCE from time to time. The MORTGAGOR shall maintain banking/depository
relationships with the MORTGAGEE in a manner satisfactory to the MORTGAGEE.
13. TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE OF PROPERTY: Except with respect to
Permitted Encumbrances, for the purposes of protecting MORTGAGEE'S security,
keeping the Property free from subordinate financing liens, and/or allowing
MORTGAGEE to raise the interest rate and to collect assumption fees, MORTGAGOR
agrees that any sale, conveyance, further encumbrance, or other transfer of
legal, equitable or beneficial title to the Property, or any interest therein
(whether voluntarily or by operation of law), without MORTGAGEE'S prior written
consent, shall be an Event of Default hereunder. In the event MORTGAGOR, without
the prior written consent of MORTGAGEE, shall sell, convoy, alienate, transfer,

7
mortgage, grant a security interest in, or encumber the Property described
herein or any part thereof, or any interest therein, whether legal, equitable or
beneficial, or shall be divested of its title or any interest therein, in any
manner or way, whether voluntary or involuntary, the entire balance of the
Obligation shall become immediately due and payable at the option of MORTGAGEE.
14. ERISA: MORTGAGOR covenants and agrees that (a) it is not, nor has
it any plan or other agreement subject to the terms of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ('ERISA') and (b) during the term of the
loan secured hereby, unless MORTGAGEE shall have previously consented in
writing, it will take no action which would cause it to be subject to any laws,
rules or regulations pertaining to ERISA. MORTGAGOR further covenants and agrees
to protect, defend, indemnify and hold MORTGAGEE harmless from and against all
loss, cost, damage and expense (including without limitation, all attorneys'
fees and excise taxes, costs of correcting any prohibited transaction or
obtaining an appropriate exemption) which MORTGAGEE may incur as a result of
MORTGAGOR'S breach of this covenant. This indemnity shall survive the
extinguishment of the lien of the Mortgage by foreclosure or action in lieu
thereof, and this covenant shall survive such extinguishment; furthermore, the
foregoing indemnity shall supersede any limitations on MORTGAGOR'S liability
under the Note, the Mortgage, or any of the other Loan Documents.

all sums secured by this Mortgage without further demand, and/or immediately
foreclose this Mortgage or pursue any other available regal remedy. In the event

of any action by MORTGAGEE to enforce collection of any of the Obligations,
BORROWERS agree that any expense incurred in connection therewith or incurred to
procure or extend an abstract of title or a policy of title insurance shall,
when incurred or paid by MORTGAGEE, become a part of the Obligations and shall
be paid by BORROWERS together with all of the costs of such action. In the event
any action is brought to foreclose this Mortgage, MORTGAGEE shall be entitled to
immediate and exclusive possession of the Property, and the court may appoint
and MORTGAGOR hereby consents to the appointment of a receiver to take
possession of the Property to collect and receive the rents, income, issues and
profits arising therefrom; and from any moneys so collected, to pay taxes,

the Mortgaged Premises complies with federal, state and local laws, rules,
regulations or orders respecting environmental matters. MORTGAGEE may, at its
option and at the sole expense of MORTGAGOR, at intervals of not less than one

environmental audit, MORTGAGEE determines that additional testing or
investigation should be performed on the Mortgaged Premises, such testing shall
be performed at MORTGAGOP,'S sole expense. If this Mortgage is foreclosed, or if
MORTGAGOR tenders a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure that is accepted

BORROWERS, or on behalf of BORROWERS' successors or assigns, or by any holder of
a subordinate or superior interest in the Property shall constitute a
"prepayment", as that term is used in the Note, and shall be deemed a voluntary
prepayment hereunder. In the event of any prepayment as defined in the Note, the
amount due shall include any applicable premium which is thereupon due under the
prepayment privileged provisions of the Note.
18. REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE: MORTGAGEE shall be entitled to enforce
payment and performance of any indebtedness or Obligations and to exercise all
rights and powers under this Mortgage or under the Note and other Loan Documents
or any other agreement executed in connection herewith or any laws now or
hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the such indebtedness and
Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed
of trust, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this
Mortgage nor its enforcement, whether by court action or other powers herein
contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect MORTGAGEE'S right to realize
upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by MORTGAGEE, it being
agreed that MORTGAGEE shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other
security now or hereafter held by MORTGAGEE in such order and manner as
MORTGAGEE may in its sole and absolute discretion determine. No remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to MORTGAGEE is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but shall be cumulative and shall
be in addition to every other remedy gives hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy provided under
this Mortgage to MORTGAGEE or to which it may be otherwise entitled, may be
exercised, concurrer7aly or independently, from time to time land as often as
may be deemed expedient by MORTGAGEE and, MORTGAGEE may pursue
OR145627;1
9
inconsistent remedies. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting
MORTGAGEE from seeking a deficiency judgment against BORROWERS to the extent
such action is permitted by law.
19. NO IMPLIED WAIVER: The failure of MORTGAGEE promptly to exercise
any right, power or remedy provided herein or at law or in equity shall not
constitute a waiver of the same, nor shall MORTGAGEE be stopped from later
exercising such right, power or remedy.
20. NOTICE: The mailing addresses of the parties are as set forth in
the preamble hereof. Except for any notices, demands, requests or other
communications required under applicable law to be given in another manner,

other Loan Documents. Any reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection
with this inspection shall be borne by MORTGAGOR as provided for in Paragraph
Two hereof.
23. ATTORNEY'S FEES: Except where prohibited by law, if MORTGAGEE
refers this Mortgage to an attorney or seeks legal advice following default

judicial or non-judicial action, suit, declaratory action, or proceeding is
instituted by MORTGAGEE or if MORTGAGEE is required to appear in any such action
or proceeding, or to reclaim, seek relief from a judicial or statutory stay,
sequester, protect, preserve or enforce interest in this Mortgage (including but
not limited to proceedings under federal bankruptcy law, in eminent domain,
under probate proceedings, or in connection with any state or federal tax lien)
then in such event, BORROWERS promise to pay reasonable attorney's fees and
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by MORTGAGEE or its attorney in
connection with the above mentioned events.
24. ACTIONS BY MORTGAGEE TO PRESERVE THE PROPERTY: If BORROWERS fail to
make any payment required under this Mortgage, the Note or other Loan Documents,
whether for real estate taxes, insurance premiums, attorney's fees, or
otherwise, or fails to do any act as may be required hereunder, MORTGAGEE may,
at the discretion of MORTGAGEE, without obligation to do so and without
releasing BORROWERS from any obligation, make or do the same in such manner and
such event as MORTGAGEE shall deem necessary to protect the Property. Without
notice to BORROWERS, MORTGAGEE may either add such payments and expenses

advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of MORTGAGEE or otherwise,
as are made within twenty (20) years from the date hereof, to the same

Mortgage, but such secured indebtedness shall not exceed at any time the maximum
principal amount of two times (2X) the face amount of the Note, plus interest
thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes, levies or
insurance on the Property with interest on such disbursements. Any such future
advances, whether obligatory or to be made at the option of the MORTGAGEE or
otherwise, may be made either prior to or after the due date of the Note or any
other notes secured by this Mortgage. This Mortgage is given for the specific
purpose of securing any and all indebtedness by the BORROWERS to MORTGAGEE, made
pursuant to the Loan Documents, in whatever manner this indebtedness may be
evidenced or represented until this Mortgage is satisfied of record. All
covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage shall be applicable to all
further advances made by MORTGAGEE to BORROWERS under this future advance
clause.
26. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This instrument, together with the Note and other
Loan Documents, constitutes and sets forth the entire understanding and
agreement between the parties, and no party hereto has relied upon any
representations, agreements or understandings, verbal or written, not set forth

modification of amortization of the sums secured by this Mortgage granted by
MORTGAGEE to any successor in interest of BORROWERS shall not operate to
release, in any manner, the liability of the any original BORROWERS or
BORROWERS' successor in interest. MORTGAGEE shall not be required to commence
proceedings against such successor or extend time for payment or otherwise
modify amortization of the sums secured by this Mortgage by reason of any demand
made by any original BORROWERS and successors in interest to BORROWERS.
29. GOVERNING LAW/STIPULATION OF JURISDICTION: This Mortgage and each
instrument securing it shall be governed by and construed according to the laws

have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and finally determine any dispute, claim or
controversy or action arising out of or connected (directly or indirectly) with
this Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
30. SEVERABILIT'Y: In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Mortgage, or the Note or any other Loan Documents shall for
any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, which

provision had never been contained herein or therein. If the lien of this
Mortgage is invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Obligations, or if

portion of the Obligations which is not secured or not fully secured the lien of
this Mortgage.
OR145627;1
3i. CONSENT NOT REQUIRED OF MORTGAGEE: Any consent by MORTGAGEE in any
single instance shall not be deemed or construed to be MORTGAGEE'S consent in
any like matter arising at a subsequent date and the failure of MORTGAGEE to
promptly exercise any right, power, remedy, consent or approval provided herein
or at law or in equity shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of the
same nor shall MORTGAGEE be estopped from exercising such right, power, remedy,
consent or approval at a later date. Any consent or approval requested of and
granted by MORTGAGEE pursuant hereto shall be narrowly construed to be
applicable only to BORROWERS and the matter identified in such consent or

Rental expense was approximately $198,000 and $157,000 for the years ended March

Litigation
Various lawsuits have been filed against various of the Company's wholly- owned
subsidiaries during the year ended March 31, 1997. The first lawsuit was filed
in New York against Corporate Relations Group, Inc. ("CRG') and alleges that CRO
breached its marketing contract and made fraudulent representations prior to
entering the contract. Damages of S7,400,000 were being sought in the lawsuit.
This lawsuit was dismissed due to a lack of jurisdiction in New York and has not
been refiled. Management intends to vigorously defend itself against this
lawsuit if refiled.
The second lawsuit was filed against CRG, three of its officers and Gulf
Atlantic Publishing, Inc. and also alleges that there was a breach of its
marketing contract and that fraudulent inducements were made to enter the
contract. Damages of $4,400,000 are being sought in this case. Management feels
that there is no merit to this case and intends to vigorously defend itself
against this lawsuit.
In November 1997, CRO was named in a Civil action lawsuit which alleged that the
Company failed to disclose certain information in one of its publications in
1996 and was therefore in violation of various securities laws and the
California Civil Code. Compensatory damages of approximately S67,000 and
unspecified punitive damages are being sought in case. In March 1998, part of
the complaint was dismissed. In April 1998, CRO answered the complaint, denying
all allegations and iiuci4s to vigorously defend itself against this lawsuit.
In April 1998, CRG was named in another lawsuit which alleges that it made
material misstatements in one of its publications in 1995. The lawsuit seeks
punitive and compensatory damages of $150,000. Management intends to vigorously
defend itself against this lawsuit.

CRG was also named in a lawsuit by an individual who claims he is owed an

vigorously defend itself against this lawsuit.
Other
A regulatory authority has subpoenaed one of the Company's directors, an
employee, a former employee and Corporate Relations Group, a wholly owned
subsidiary, requesting certain documentation in connection with two Orders
directing private investigations for actions in violation of Section 10(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule lOb-5 thereunder The investigators
are continuing, and whether the regulatory authority will initiate any
proceedings unknown. As of March 31, 1998, the Company has insured approximately
S600,000 in legal fm on behalf of the former employee relating to this matter.
Management of the Company believes that it is unlikely that the outcomes of
these investigations will have material impacts on the operations or financial
condition of the Company.
The Company is a party to various other legal and administrative proceedings and
claims of vinous types, the outcome of which is not determinable. While any
litigation contains an element of uncertainty, management, based Won the opinion
of legal counsel, believes that the outcome of the proceedings, if any, will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company.

RE: Stratcom Media, Ltd. and Corporate Relations Group, Inc.
Genetlemen:
We are in receipt of a letter from Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, President of
Stratcomm Media, Ltd. asking us to provide ceratin information to you in
connection with your audit of its consolidated financial statements as of March
31, 1998 and for the year then ended.
Please be advised that we do not reglarly or currenlty perform services
for Stratcomm Media, Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. We did represent Corporate
Relations Group, Inc.(CRG"), which you have advised us is a subsidiary of
Stratcomm Media, Ltd., in a litigation in the Supreme Court of the State of New
York, County of New York brought against it by information Management
Technologies Corporation ("IMTC"). IMTC alleged that CRG had breached an
agreement dated July 31, 1995 pursuant to which CRG was to provide IMTC with
certain corporaate relations services.
BDO Seldman, LLP
June 16, 1998
We were successful in obtaining a dismissal of the action on the ground
that, under the provisions of the contract in question, IMTC was obligated to
bring suit against CRG in the Circuit Court in Orange County, Florida, and thus
was not in a position to pursue its claim in the New York courts. We do not know
whether IMTC, following the dismissal of the New York action, in fact pursued
the claim in Florida.
There are no amounts owed to us by CRG for services performed.
Very truly yours,

Re: Stratcomm Media Ltd.
To Whom It May Concern:
The President of Stratcomm Media, Lid,, Xxx Xxxxxx, has requested that
our office provide you with with information concerning litigation which
Stratcomm Media Ltd., or any of its subsidiaries has been involved in through
March 31, 1998. Additionally we have been requested to provide an update on any
litigation through today.
It is Our understanding that Corporate Relations Group, Inc. and Gulf
Atlantic Publishing, Inc. are wholly owned subsidiaries of Stratcomm Media Ltd.
This law firm has been retained by CRG to represent the company in seven cues.
Furthermore this firm, is representing Gulf Atlantic Publishing, Inc. as a
co-defendant in one case and Stratcomm Media Ltd. as a co-plaintiff in another.
The seven cases which were pending as of March
31, 1998 are as follows:
1. Corporate Relations Group, Inc- and Stratcomm Media Ltd.,
Inc. v. Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Case No.:CI97-7309, Division 39,
In the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit in and
for Orange County, Florida; DCA Case No.: 00-000, Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxx of Appeal Fifth District,
2. Golf Ventures, Inc. v. Corporate Relations Group, Inc.,
Gulf Atlantic Publishing, Inc., Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx,
individually, Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, L7, individually, and
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, individually; Case No.- C197-2441,
Division 34, In the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial
Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida,.
3. Corporate, Relations Group, Inc. v. Mickey Hobby, Case No.:
CI97-7308, Division 34, In the Circuit Court of the Ninth
Judicial Court in and for Orange County, Florida.
BDO Xxxxxxx, LLP
June 16,1998
page 2
4. Corporate Relations Group, Inc. x. Xxxxxxx; Case No.:
CI96-6574, Division 37, In the Circuit Court of the
Ninth Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida.
5. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx v. Corporate Relations Group, Inc., Case No.:
97-27976-CA06, In the Circuit Court of the Eleventh
Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida.
6. Information Management Technologies Corporation v.
Corporate Relations Group, Inc., Index No. 605378/96,
Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York.
7. Corporate Relations Group, Inc. v. Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, Case
No.: CI97-7310, Div 33, In the Circuit Court of the
Ninth Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida.
Four of the above seven cases (items 1, 3, 4 and 7), involve actions by
CRG and/or Stratcomm against former employees, seeking the enforcement of
non-compete and confidentiality agreements. The cases against Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and
Xxxx Xxxxxx have reached and amicable settlement and should be dismissed
shortly.
Additionally, in the case against Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, CRG was able to obtain
an injunction against Xx. Xxxxxxx restricting him from soliciting employees of
CRG to misappropriate CRG trade secret information.
In the case against Xxxx Xxxxxxx, CRG and Stratcomm were denied a
temporary injunction by the Circuit Court. This decision has been appealed to
the Fifth District Court of Appeals. A ruling on this appeal should be
forthcoming. Regardless of the results of the appeal both CRG and Stratcomm will
continue to seek an injunction against Xxxx Xxxxxxx to prevent the
misappropriation of trade secret information and the enforcement of non-compete
agreement.
In the second suit against Golf Ventures, Inc. has alleged that CRG,
Gulf Atlantic Publishing, Inc. and three individuals have breached it's contract
with Golf Ventures, Inc. Additionally, Golf Ventures has claimed that they were
fraudulently induced into entering contracts with the defendants in this suit.
The total of the claims against CRG and Gulf Atlantic Publishing, Inc. is in
excess of $4,400,00.
While any litigation contains certain risks, this suit is apparently
without merit. CRG and Gulf Atlantic Publishing intend to vigorously contest
these claims. At this time there has been no action taken in this case by
plaintiff hired new counsel on January 5, 1998
In the Fifth case, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx has claimed he is owed an undetermined
amount of money as a finder's fee from CRG for his work involving the Chicken
Kitchen Corporation.
BDO Xxxxxxx, LLP
June 16,1998
page 3
CRG intends to vigorously defend this suit as Xx. Xxxxxx is not entitled to any
compensation under his contract in relation to Chicken Kitchen Corporation. AG
the initial phases of discovery are just concerning it is too early to determine
whether a settlement offer should be entertained.
In addition to his claims against CRG, noted in the proceeds paragraph, Xx.
Xxxxxx has indicated that he believe that he Is owed a Ender's fee on accounts
received by Gulf Atlantic Publishing, Inc. and Arrow Marketing, Inc. from
Chicken Kitchen Corporation. There is no apparent basis which substantiates Xx.
Xxxxxx'x claim to any amount received by Gulf Atlantic Publishing, Inc. and
Arrow Marketing, Inc.
The sixth case, Information Management Technologies, (hereinafter,
"IMTECH") alleged that CRG breached its marketing contract with IMTECH causing
actual and consequential damages in the amount of $7,400,000. This suit was
dismissed due to jurisdictional reasons and could be refilled in Orange County,
Florida. More than one year has passed since the case was dismissed, therefore
it appears that IMTECH has little desire to pursue this more than seven million
dollar claim. It is the position of CRG that the claim was frivolous, The
failure to refile the case by IMTECH is consistent with the belief that the
claim has no merit.
There have been no unasserted claims for the period through March 31,
1997 or through the date of this letter of which I have been informed.
As of the audit date CRG had a credit balance in their trust account
with our firm and did not owe any funds for costs or services.
Please call my office if you have any questions regarding any of these issues.
Sincerely,
MA.XX X. HORWTTZ

Re: Stratcomm Media, Ltd.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
By letter dated April 29, 1998, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, president, Stratcomm
Media, Ltd. (the "Company"), requested that we furnish you with certain
information in connection with your examination of the accounts of the Company
for the period ended March 31, 1998.
The firm was retained by Corporate Relations Group, Inc. ("CRG"), which
we understand is wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in early 1996
principally to represent CRG in connection with certain of the matters referred
to below.
Except, to the regard to the following matters, and subject to the last
paragraph of this letter, we advise you that we have not rendered substantive
attention to, nor represented the Company or CRG in connection with, loss
contingencies coming within the scope of the clause (a) of paragraph 5 of the
Statement referred to in the last paragraph of this letter.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") issued an order
directing a Private Investigation on December 27, 1995 (the "order") regarding
trading in the shares of common stock of the Tracker Corporation of America, a
Delaware corporation with principal executive offices in Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxxx ("Tracker").
The commission's order states that the staff reported information to
the commission which indicates that beginning on January 1, 1994, or earlier,
certain persons or entities may have engaged in actions in violation of section
10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") and Rule 10b-5
thereunder.
Arent Fox
BDO Xxxxxxx, LLP
June 15, 1998
Page 2
We understand that the staff of the commission has, pursuant to the
order, subpoenaed a significant number of people requiring the production of
documents and/or testimony. As a part of the investigation, subpoenas were
served on Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, and a number of former office or
employees of CRG and on CRG based on CRG's business relationship with Tracker.
The subpoenas also require information regarding approximately 50 additional
companies with which CRG had, or continues to have, a business relationship.
The subpoenas served on CRG, Xx. Xxxxxx and Xx. Xxxxxxx required the
production of a substantial number of documents, and such persons have delivered
the documents requested to the staff in responses to the subpoenas.
Although the investigation has been in progress for more than two
years, neither we nor the company in a position to advise you whether the
commission will institute any proceedings, the scope of any such proceedings
should they be instituted, the likelihood of any adverse decision should
proceedings be instituted, or the extent of any penalties that could be sought
in any such proceedings.
The Northeast regional Offices of the Securities Exchange Commission
("NYRO") obtained an order from the commission on March 25, 1997 directing a
private investigation regarding the trading in the securities of unspecified
companies ("the NYRO Order").
The NYRO Order states that the staff reported information to the
commission which indicates that certain persons or entities may have engaged in
actions in violation of Section 10(b) of the Act or Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
On March 25, 1997, the NYRO served a subpoena on the Company requiring
the production of a significant number of documents regarding Golf Ventures,
Inc., a former client of CRG ("GVI"), and Leasing Technologies, Inc., ("LTP").
CRG responded to the NYRO subpoena and delivered responsive documents
regarding GVI. It advises the NYRO that it had no information regarding LTI and
thus had no documents to deliver in response to the subpoena. Since delivery of
the documents to the NYRO in response to the subpoena, neither we nor CRG have
had any further contact with the NYRO.
Neither we nor the Company are in a position to advise you whether the
commission will institute any proceedings in the NYRO matter or the scope of any
such proceedings should they be instituted.
I note that GVI filed lawsuit against CRG in March 1997 and suggest
that you discuss this matter with the Company and with counsel representing the
Company in such proceedings.

A. Notice in Participating Communities. You must maintain flood insurance
for the term of this loan. The improved real estate or mobile home
securing your loan is or will be located in a community that is now
federally declared disaster, Federal disaster relief assistance may be
available. However, such assistance will be unavailable if the
community has been identified for at least one year as a flood hazard
area and is not participating in the National Flood insurance Program
at the time the assistance would be approved. This assistance, usually
in the form of a loan with a favorable interest rate, may be available
for damages incurred in excess of your flood insurance
IMPORTANT - BANK POLICY REGARDING PREMIUMS
We can assist You in obtaining the first year's coverage or we must
have proof of coverage before disbursing proceeds of the loan. You will
be notified each year by the National Flood Insurance Program when the
flood insurance premiums are due. If you do not pay these premiums
promptly, a second notice will be sent to the Bank indicating that the
premiums have not been paid. Our experience has indicated that the Bank
has not had sufficient time. after receiving the second notice, to
contact you prior to the insurance expiration date. Therefore,
immediately upon receipt of the second notice the Bank will pay the
premium due for the flood insurance policy. Premiums advanced, plus
interest, will be added to you loan balance. If, in the meantime, you
have also paid the premium, it will be your responsibility to request a
refund of the duplicate payment.
B. Notice In nonparticipating Communities. The improved real estate or
mobile home securing your loan is or will be located in a community
that is not participating in the National Flood Insurance Program. This
means that such property is not eligible for Federal flood insurance.

declared disaster, Federal disaster relief assistance for the property
