Section 3. Amount and Terms of the Convertible Note Acquisition Agreement
3.1. Convertible Note Acquisition. The Buyer agrees on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement to acquire, in exchange for $179,506.75 in cash (the
"Purchase Price"), a convertible note in the principal amount of $255,000
convertible into a total of 102,000 shares of the Company's Restricted Common
Stock. The Purchase Price shall be used solely to cure the default on the
Company's Second Mortgage payable to Sebasitiano and Nunzia Salemi, recorded on
2951 Simms Street real estate located in Hollywood, Florida, and recorded
February 4, 1999, in Official Record Book 29206, at Page 1366, of the Public
Records of Broward County, Florida (the "Property").
3.2. Price Guarantee. The Seller agrees that for a period of twenty one (21)
months from the Closing Date, to guarantee to the Buyer that its Common Stock
shall not fall below a closing bid price of $2.50 per share such that when
certain incremental allocations of such shares are sold by Buyer pursuant to
Rule 144 promulgated under the Act ("Rule 144") or such allocations are
calculated as provided herein that in the aggregate the value of the shares into
which the Mortgage Note is convertible shall have a value of $255,000 (the
"Price Guarantee"). To secure such Price Guarantee, Seller grants to Buyer a
mortgage upon the Property convertible into shares, which mortgage shall be
evidenced by the Mortgage Note and secured by the Mortgage and Security
Agreement, both of which are more fully defined herein (collectively the "Price
Guarantee Collateral").
3.3. Mortgage Note. The Seller's Price Guarantee shall be evidenced by its
Mortgage Note in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached to this Agreement
in the principal amount of $255,000. The Mortgage Note shall be dated as of the
Closing Date and shall be due and payable twenty four (24) months from its
issuance. Commencing on September 1, 2001 and continuing for the next eight (8)
successive months, Buyer shall be required each such month to convert a portion
of the Mortgage Note into shares of the Seller's Common Stock, the mandatory
conversion dates and number of shares to be issued on each mandatory conversion
date are set forth in Schedule I attached hereto (the "Monthly Allocation").
Commencing on September 30, 2001 and continuing on the last day of each of the
next eight (8) successive months, the principal amount of the Mortgage Note
shall be reduced by the greater of (i) the actual gross proceeds received by
Buyer for sale of the Monthly Allocation and any previously issued Monthly
Allocation shares not sold during the applicable month during the applicable
month made in accordance with Rule 144, or (ii) the average of the closing price
for the Seller's Common Stock from the 1st day of the applicable month to the
next to last day of the applicable month as quoted
on the OTC BB times the Monthly Allocation (the greater of subsection (i) or
(ii) hereinafter referred to as the "Incremental Mortgage Reduction Amount"). In
the event that Incremental Mortgage Reduction Amount is less than the Monthly
Allocation times $2.50 per share during the applicable month (the "Target
Reduction Amount"), the difference between the Target Reduction Amount and the
Incremental Mortgage Reduction Amount realized shall bear interest at the rate
of 11.11% per annum until paid. To assist Seller in making this calculation,
Buyer agrees to provide evidence of all sales made in the applicable month to
Seller by the tenth (10th) day of the succeeding month. Each successive
Incremental Mortgage Reduction Amount shall be applied first to accrued but
unpaid interest and thereafter as a reduction to principal. At the end of the
term of the Mortgage Note, all unpaid principal and accrued interest not
otherwise paid by the incremental reductions to principal shall be due and
payable. In the event that incremental reductions pay off the entire Mortgage
Note and any accrued but unpaid interest prior to the end of the term, any
Monthly Allocation shares not previous issued to Buyer shall be immediately
issued, the Mortgage Note shall be canceled and any unsold shares delivered to
or held by Buyer, if any, may be retained or sold by the Buyer pursuant to Rule
144 as he so elects. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Note the
aggregate of all of the Incremental Mortgage Reduction Amounts is equal to or
above $255,000, or at the end of the term at such time as Seller pays all unpaid
principal and accrued but unpaid interest, the entire Mortgage Note and Mortgage
and Security Agreement shall be released and satisfied and Buyer (1) authorizes
Mintmire & Associates to provide the Seller with the Release executed
simultaneously with this Agreement and being held in escrow by them; (2)
authorizes the Seller to record the Release; and (3) agrees to cancel and return
the original Mortgage Note to the Seller. Interest, if any, shall be calculated
on the basis of a year of 360 days. Any unpaid principal or accrued but unpaid
interest due at the end of the term shall be payable at the Lender's Principal
Office.
3.4. Mortgage and Security Agreement. The Mortgage Note, together with all of
the Seller's other obligations under this Agreement, shall be secured by a
Mortgage and Security Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto
executed by the Seller.
3.5 Release. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Buyer
shall execute a Release in substantially the form of Exhibit C and deliver same
to Mintmire & Associates to be held in escrow by them until the full and
complete satisfaction of Seller's obligation to the Buyer in accordance with the
terms and conditions herein.
3.6 Escrowed Shares. Seller shall deliver to Mintmire & Associates nine (9)
certificates in the amounts of the Monthly Allocations, each of which shall be
delivered to Buyer no later than five (5) days after the first day of the
applicable month for such allocation. Seller and Buyer authorize Mintmire &
Associates to release such shares to Buyer as required herein without any
further action on their part.
3.7 Registration Under the Act. The Mortgage Note and any conversion shares into
which it may be converted issued pursuant to this Agreement have not been
registered under the Act. Unless and until registered under the Act, the
Mortgage Note and any shares shall bear the following legend:
This Notes or any shares issued upon conversion have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or applicable state law and
may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless registered under
the Act and any applicable state act or unless the Company receives an opinion
of counsel satisfactory to it that the Note or any shares issued upon conversion
may be transferred without registration under the Act or qualify for an
exemption.
The Mortgage Note and any shares issued upon conversion shall be subject to Rule
144 and shall be restricted (the "Restricted Securities").
3.7 Piggyback Registration.
(a) At any time that the Seller proposes to file a registration statement
on Form S-1 or other applicable form under the Act (the "Registrations
Statement"), either for its own account or for the account of a
stockholder or stockholders, the Seller shall give the Buyer or other
holder (the "Holder") written notice of its intention to do so and of
the intended method of sale (the "Registration Notice") within a
reasonable time prior to the anticipated filing date of the Seller's
Registration Statement effecting such Seller registration. Holder may
request inclusion of any Restricted Securities in such Registration
Statement by delivering to the Seller, within ten (10) Business Days
after receipt of the Registration Notice, a written notice (the
"Piggyback Notice") stating the number of Restricted Securities
proposed to be included and that such shares are to be included in any
underwriting only on the same terms and conditions as the shares of
Common Stock otherwise being sold through underwriters under such
Seller Registration Statement. The Seller shall use its best efforts
to cause all Restricted Securities specified in the Piggyback Notice
to be included in the Seller Registration Statement and any related
offering, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale by the Holder
of its Restricted Securities in accordance with the method of sale
applicable to the other shares of Common Stock included in such Seller
Registration Statement; provided, however, that if, at any time after
giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and
prior to the effective date of the Seller Registration Statement filed
in connection with such registration, the Seller shall determine for
any reason not to register or to delay registration of Holder's
Restricted Securities, the Company may, at its election, give written
notice of such determination to Holder and, thereupon:
(i) in the ease of a determination not to register, shall be relieved
of its obligation to register Holder's Restricted Securities in
connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to
pay the registration expenses in connection therewith), and
(ii) in the case of a delay in registering, shall be permitted to
delay registering Holder's Restricted Securities for the same
period as the delay in registering such other securities.
(b) The Sellers's obligation to include Restricted Securities in a
Seller's Registration Statement pursuant to Section 7(a) shall be
subject to the following limitations:
(i) The Seller may elect, at its sole option and for any reason, not
to register Holder's Restricted Shares, provided however, that
this right is limited to one (1) time and relative to one (1)
particular Seller Registration Statement.
(ii) The Seller shall not be obligated to include any Restricted
Securities in a registration statement filed on Form S-4, Form
S-8 or such other similar successor forms then in effect under
the Securities Act.
(iii)If a Seller Registration Statement involves an underwritten
offering and the managing underwriter advises the Seller in
writing that in its opinion, the number of securities requested
to be included in such Seller Registration Statement exceeds the
number which can be sold in such offering without adversely
affecting the offering, the Seller shall include in such Seller
Registration Statement the number of such securities which the
Seller is so advised can be sold in such offering without
adversely affecting the offering, determined as follows:
(A) first, the securities proposed by the Seller to be sold for
it own account, and
(B) second, any Restricted Securities requested to be included
in such registration and any other securities of the Seller
in accordance with the priorities, if and then existing
among the holders of such securities pro rata among the
holders thereof requesting such registration on the basis of
the number of shares of such securities requested to be
included by such holders.
(iv) The Seller shall not be obligated to include Restricted
Securities in more than one (1) Seller Registration Statement.
(c) To the extent Holder's Restricted Securities are intended to be
included in a Seller Registration Statement, Holder may include any of
its Restricted Securities in such Seller Registration Statement
pursuant to this Agreement only if Holder furnishes to the Seller in
writing, within ten (10) business days after receipt of a written
request therefor, such information specified in Item 507 of Regulation
S-K under the Act or such other information as the Seller may
reasonably request for use in connection with the Seller Registration
Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein and
in any application to the NASD. Holder as to which the Seller
Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to
the Seller all information required to be disclosed in order to make
all information previously furnished to the Seller by Holder not
materially misleading.

1. IDENTIFICATION OF BORROWER

corporation, whose principal address is 2951 SIMMS STREET, HOLLYWOOD, FL 33020-
1510.
2. IDENTIFICATION OF LENDER
Lender's name and address is: WM PROPERTIES OF SOUTH FLORIDA, INC., 1800 N.
DIXIE HIGHWAY, HOLLYWOOD, FL 33020.
Lender may change such address from time to time by giving me notice as
provided in Paragraph 8.
3. PROMISE TO PAY - PLACE OF PAYMENT
In return for a loan that Borrower has received, Borrower promises to pay
in lawful money of the United States of America to the order of WM PROPERTIES OF
SOUTH FLORIDA, INC. at such address as is indicated in Paragraph 2 or at such
other place as the Holder of this Note shall in writing designate, the principal
sum of Two Hundred Fifty Five Thousand United States Dollars (US$255,000.00)
(this amount is called "principal"), subject to the terms and conditions of this
Note.
4. TERMS OF THIS NOTE
4.1 Convertible Note Acquisition. The Lender agreed on the terms and
conditions set forth in a certain convertible note acquisition agreement of even
date (the "Acquisition Agreement") to acquire, in exchange for $179,506.75 in
cash (the "Purchase Price"), a
convertible note in the principal amount of $255,000 convertible into a total of
102,000 shares of the Company's Restricted Common Stock. The Purchase Price
shall be used solely to cure the default on the Company's Second Mortgage
payable to Sebasitiano and Nunzia Salemi, recorded on 2951 Simms Street real
estate located in Hollywood, Florida, and recorded February 4, 1999, in Official
Record Book 29206, at Page 1366, of the Public Records of Broward County,
Florida (the "Property"). The Acquisition Agreement is incorporated in its
entirety into this Note.
4.2 Price Guarantee. The Borrower agrees that for a period of twenty one
(21) months from the date hereof, to guarantee to the Lender that its Common
Stock shall not fall below a closing bid price of $2.50 per share such that when
certain incremental allocations of such shares are sold by Lender pursuant to
Rule 144 promulgated under the Act ("Rule 144") or such allocations are
calculated as provided herein that in the aggregate the value of the shares into
which the Mortgage Note is convertible shall have a value of $255,000 (the
"Price Guarantee"). To secure such Price Guarantee, Borrower granted to Lender a
mortgage upon the Property convertible into shares, which mortgage shall be
evidenced by this Note and secured by the Mortgage and Security Agreement
executed simultaneously herewith.
4.3 Mortgage Note. The Borrower's Price Guarantee is evidenced by this
Note. This Note, dated as of the Closing Date as defined in the Acquisition
Agreement, is due and payable twenty four (24) months from its issuance.
Commencing on September 1, 2001 and continuing for the next eight (8) successive
months, Lender is required each such month to convert a portion of this Note
into shares of the Borrower's Common Stock, the mandatory conversion dates and
number of shares to be issued on each mandatory conversion date are set forth in
Schedule I attached hereto (the "Monthly Allocation"). Commencing on September
30, 2001 and continuing on the last day of each of the next eight (8) successive
months, the principal amount of the Mortgage Note shall be reduced by the
greater of (i) the actual gross proceeds received by Lender for sale of the
Monthly Allocation and any previously issued Monthly Allocation shares not sold
during the applicable month during the applicable month made in accordance with
Rule 144, or (ii) the average of the closing price for the Borrower's Common
Stock from the 1st day of the applicable month to the next to last day of the
applicable month as quoted on the OTC BB times the Monthly Allocation (the
greater of subsection (i) or (ii) hereinafter referred to as the "Incremental
Mortgage Reduction Amount"). In the event that Incremental Mortgage Reduction
Amount is less than the Monthly Allocation times $2.50 per share during the
applicable month (the "Target Reduction Amount"), the difference between the
Target Reduction Amount and the Incremental Mortgage Reduction Amount realized
shall bear interest at the rate of 11.11% per annum until paid. To assist
Borrower in making this calculation, Lender agrees to provide evidence of all
sales made in the applicable month to Borrower by the tenth (10th) day of the
succeeding month. Each successive Incremental Mortgage Reduction Amount shall be
applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and thereafter as a reduction to
principal. At the end of the term of this Note, all unpaid principal and accrued
interest not otherwise paid by the incremental reductions to principal shall be
due and payable. In the event that incremental reductions pay off this entire
Note and any accrued but unpaid interest prior to the end of the term, any
Monthly Allocation shares not previous issued to Lender shall be immediately
issued, this Note shall be canceled and any unsold shares delivered to or held
by Lender, if any, may be retained or sold by the Lender pursuant to Rule 144 as
he so elects. If at any time during the term of this Note the
aggregate of all of the Incremental Mortgage Reduction Amounts is equal to or
above $255,000, or at the end of the term at such time as Borrower pays all
unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest, this entire Note and Mortgage
and Security Agreement shall be released and satisfied. In this regard, under
the Acquisition Agreement Lender has (1) authorized Mintmire & Associates to
provide the Borrower with the Release executed simultaneously with this Note and
being held in escrow by them; (2) authorized the Borrower to record the Release;
and (3) agreed to cancel and return this Note to the Borrower. Interest, if any,
shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days. Any unpaid principal or
accrued but unpaid interest due at the end of the term shall be payable at the
Lender's Principal Office.
4.4 Mortgage and Security Agreement. The Mortgage Note, together with all
of the Borrower's other obligations under this Note, shall be secured by a
Mortgage and Security Agreement executed simultaneously herewith.
4.5 Release. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Note, the Lender
has executed a Release and delivered same to Mintmire & Associates to be held in
escrow by them until the full and complete satisfaction of Borrower's obligation
to the Lender in accordance with the terms and conditions herein.
4.6 Escrowed Shares. Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Borrower
shall deliver to Mintmire & Associates nine (9) certificates in the amounts of
the Monthly Allocations, each of which shall be delivered to Lender no later
than five (5) days after the first day of the applicable month for such
allocation. Borrower and Lender have authorized Mintmire & Associates to release
such shares to Lender as required under the Acquisition Agreement without any
further action on their part.
5. AFTER DEFAULT RATE OF INTEREST
Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance after
default at the highest contract rate allowed by applicable law until all sums
owing on this Note have been paid in full.
6. MAXIMUM LOAN CHARGES
Lender agrees that it will not charge interest or other loan charges that
exceed the maximum lawful rate, it being Lender's intent not to charge a
usurious interest rate. If it is discovered that interest or other loan charges
exceed the maximum lawful rate, Borrower will give Lender the opportunity to
refund to it that amount collected which exceeded the maximum lawful rate plus
interest on that amount at the maximum lawful rate. Lender will then modify this
Note and all instruments securing this Note so that Borrower will not be
required to pay further interest or other loan charges that exceed the maximum
lawful rate.
7. BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY AS REQUIRED
7.1 Default. If Borrower:
does not pay the full amount of each payment within (25) days following
date when due; or
fails to keep any promises made in any Security Instrument (as the same is
defined in Paragraph 13 hereof);
is dissolved or liquidated;
or, fails in any other obligation under the Acquisition Agreement
then Borrower will be in default without notice and Lender may require
Borrower to pay immediately the full amount of principal which has not been paid
and all the interest that Borrower owes on that amount.
7.2 No Waiver By Lender. If, at a time when Borrower is in default Lender
does not require Borrower to pay immediately in full as described above, this
will not be a waiver of Lender's rights and Lender will still have the right to

Any person or entity who is a guarantor, co-maker, surety or endorser of

11. THIS NOTE IS SECURED
In addition to the protections given to Lender under this Note, this Note

"Security Instrument"), dated the same date as this Note. The Security
Instrument (a) protects Lender from possible losses which might result if
Borrower does not keep the promises which Borrower makes in this Note, and (b)
also describes how and under what further conditions Borrower may be required to
make immediate payment in full of all amounts that Borrower owes under this
Note.
12. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS
The Borrower covenants with the Lender that so long as any portion of the
principal of this Note remains outstanding and may be converted:
12.1 it will cause the shares of Common Stock and the certificates
representing the Common Stock subscribed and paid for pursuant to the
conversion of the Note to be duly issued and deposited with the Escrow
Agent for delivery in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement and
the terms thereof;
12.2 all shares of Common Stock that shall be issued upon conversion at the
prevailing Conversion Price herein provided, shall be fully paid and
non- assessable;
12.3 it will use its best efforts to maintain its corporate existence; and
12.4 generally, it will well and truly perform and carry out all of the
acts or things to be done by it as provided herein.
This Note and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note were
issued under Regulation D under the Act and may be transferred only in
accordance therewith and as provided in the legends set forth in this Note.
The Lender shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a
shareholder in the Borrower, either at law or equity, and the rights of the
Lender are limited to those expressed in the Note and are not enforceable
against the Borrower except to the extent set forth herein.
The Conversion Price and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon
the conversion of the Note shall be subject to the following anti-dilution
provisions as adjustments from time to time upon the happening of certain events
are follows:
12.5 In case the Borrower shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or
reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the
record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date
of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted
so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
respective Conversion Price by a fraction, the denominator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving
effect to such action, and the numerator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event
listed above shall occur.
12.6 Whenever the respective Conversion Price payable upon conversion of
each Note is adjusted pursuant to Subsection (1) above, the number of
Shares purchasable upon conversion of this Note shall simultaneously
be adjusted by multiplying the respective number of Shares initially
issuable upon conversion of this Note by a fraction, the denominator
of which shall be the Conversion Price after giving effect to such
action and the numerator of which shall be the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to such action.
12.7 No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one cent
($0.01) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustment that by
reason of this Subsection (3) is not required to be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment
required to be made hereunder. All calculations under this Note shall
be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a
share, as the case may be. Anything in this Note to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Borrower shall be entitled, but shall not be
required, to make such changes in the Conversion Price, in addition to
those required by this Note, as it shall determine, in its sole
discretion, to be advisable in order that any dividend or distribution
in shares of Common Stock, or any subdivision, reclassification or
combination of Common Stock, hereafter made by the Borrower shall not
result in any federal income tax liability to the holders of Common
Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock (including the
Note).
12.8 In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to Subsection (1) above, the Lender thereafter shall become
entitled to receive any shares of the Borrower, other than Common
Stock, thereafter the number of such
other shares so receivable upon conversion of this Note shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as
nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the
Common Stock contained in Subsections (1) to (3) inclusive above.
12.9 Irrespective of any adjustments in the respective Conversion Price or
the related number or kind of shares purchasable upon conversion of
this Note, Notes theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to
express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in
the similar Note initially issuable pursuant to this Note.
Whenever the respective Conversion Price shall be adjusted as required by
the provisions of the foregoing, the Borrower shall forthwith file in the
custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal office, an
officer's certificate showing the adjusted Conversion Price determined as herein
provided, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such
adjustment, including a statement of the number of related additional shares of
Common Stock, if any, and such other facts as shall be necessary to show the
reason for and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officer's
certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by
the Lender executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Borrower shall,
forthwith after each such adjustment, mail a copy by certified mail of such
certificate to the Lender.
So long as this Note shall be outstanding, (i) if the Borrower shall pay
any dividend or make any distribution upon the Common Stock or (ii) if the
Borrower shall offer to the holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase
by them any share of any class or any other rights, options or warrants or (iii)
if a capital reorganization of the Borrower, reclassification of the capital
stock of the Borrower, consolidation or merger of the Borrower with or into
another corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the
property and assets of the Borrower to another corporation, or voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Borrower shall be
effected, then in any such case, the Borrower shall cause to be mailed by
certified mail to the Holder, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date
specified, as the case may be, a notice containing a brief description of the
proposed action and stating the date on which a record date is to be determined
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or issue of rights, options, or
warrants or such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger,
conveyance, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and
the date, if any is to be fixed as of which the holders of Common Stock or other
securities shall receive cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up. The failure to give such notice shall
not otherwise affect the action take by the Borrower.
In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of
outstanding shares Common Stock of the Borrower, or in case of any consolidation
or merger of the Borrower with or into another corporation (other than a merger
with a subsidiary in which merger the Borrower is the continuing corporation and
that does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other
change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class
issuable upon conversion of this Note) or in case of any sale, lease or
conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Borrower as an
entirety, the Borrower shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction,
cause effective provisions to be made so that the Holder shall have the right
thereafter, by converting this Note at any time prior to the expiration of the
Note, to receive the kind and amount of shares of stock an other securities and
property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization and other
change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of such number of
shares of Common Stock that might have been received upon conversion of this
Note immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments
that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for in this Note. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and
changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers,
sales or conveyances. In the event that in connection with any such capital
reorganization or reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance,
additional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion,
substitution or payment, in whole or in part, for a security of the Borrower
other than Common Stock, any such issue shall be treated as an issue of Common
Stock covered by the provisions contained in this Note.
13. RANKING OF NOTE AND APPLICABLE LAW
This Note shall rank pari passu, whatever may be the actual date of issue
of the same.
This Note shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws

commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
prevailing party in any arbitration proceeding shall be awarded reasonable
attorneys fees and costs of the proceeding. The arbitration award shall be
final, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Nothing in this
paragraph shall preclude either party from applying to a court for temporary
equitable relief, when appropriate, pending and subject to such temporary orders
and permanent award as the arbitrator or arbitrators may make.
The Borrower and Lender agree that the courts of Broward County, Florida
shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue for the adjudication of any civil

By executing this instrument, Borrower mortgages the Property to Lender to
secure Borrower's performance of its promises made in the Convertible Note
Acquisition Agreement, the Note and this Mortgage. Subject to any terms,
conditions or limitations contained in the Convertible Note Acquisition
Agreement or the Note, this means Borrower gives Lender all of those rights that
the law gives to lenders who hold mortgages on property as well as those rights
set forth in this Mortgage.
6. PROMISES
Borrower makes the following promises to Lender:
6.1 Warranty. Subject to the first mortgage on the Property, Borrower
fully warrants the title to the Property and will defend the same
against the lawful claims of all others. This means Borrower owns the
Property and will defend its ownership against all claims.
6.2 Compliance with Terms of Convertible Note Acquisition Agreement, Note
and Mortgage. Borrower will comply with all of the terms and
provisions of , the Convertible Note Acquisition Agreement, the Note
and this Mortgage.
6.3 Taxes and Assessments. Borrower will pay all taxes and assessments and
any other charge levied against or which could become a lien against
the Property [as well as all taxes imposed, levied, or assessed on
this Mortgage or the indebtedness secured hereby (but excluding any
income type tax)] when due [and, in any event, before the end of the
year in which the same become due] [and, in any event, before they
become delinquent or subject to interest charges or penalty].
6.4 Insurance. Borrower will keep the Property insured for full
replacement cost. All such policies must:
(a) provide that all payments due by Borrower are payable to Lender
in accordance with the intent of the Convertible Note Acquisition
Agreement and Note as mortgagee; and
(b) require not less than thirty (30) days notice to Lender before
they may be canceled.
Borrower will renew all such insurance policies not less than thirty (30)
days before they would expire. Borrower will notify Lender of any loss or
damage. If any moneys become payable, Lender will have the right to reduce the
amount owing on the Note as if Borrower had made a prepayment or apply them

7.1 to maintain the Property in good and functioning condition,
performing all repairs, replacements and maintenance necessary to
preserve the Property's value;

7.3 not to permit the demolition, destruction or removal of any
portion of the Property without first securing Lender's written
consent;
7.4 to permit Lender or its representative to enter upon and inspect
the Property from time to time.
7.5 not to further encumber any interest in or any part of the
Property without the prior written consent of the Lender.
8. SECURITY AGREEMENT
Some items of the Property are personal property (the "Personal Property").
Borrower grants Lender a security interest in the Personal Property and against
all additions to, replacements of, and proceeds of the Personal Property.
Although this Mortgage is a self-operative security agreement affecting the
Personal Property, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Lender any other
written instrument that Lender might reasonably demand to create or evidence its
security interest. In addition to all other available remedies, Lender has all
of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Florida Uniform
Commercial Code.
9. MAXIMUM LOAN CHARGES
Lender agrees that it will not charge interest or other loan charges that
exceed the maximum lawful rate, it being Lender's intent not to charge a
usurious interest rate. If it is discovered that interest or other loan charges
exceed the maximum lawful rate, Borrower will give Lender the opportunity to
refund to Borrower that amount collected which exceeded the maximum lawful rate
plus interest on that amount at the maximum lawful rate. In no event may any
prepayment charge be made or prepayment prohibition provision apply. Borrower
will then modify this Mortgage and the Note so that Borrower will not be
required to pay further interest or other loan charges that exceed the maximum
lawful rate.
10. CONDEMNATION
Borrower agrees that if the Property or any part of it is condemned under
any power of condemnation, or acquired for a public use, then the damages,
proceeds, and consideration given for such acquisition, to the extent of its
obligations to Lender, will be paid to Lender if such payment is in accordance
with the intent of the Convertible Note Acquisition Agreement and Note to be
applied on account of Borrower's obligations to Lender, whether due or not.
11. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER ENCUMBRANCES
Borrower agrees to comply with all of the terms and conditions of any other
mortgages or encumbrances that affect the Property. Borrower agrees that its
failure to comply with or fully perform the terms and conditions of other
encumbrances against the Property shall constitute a default under this Mortgage
and shall entitle Lender, at Lender's option, to exercise any right available
for Borrower's default under this Mortgage.
12. OBLIGATIONS OF PERSONS UNDER THIS NOTE
Any person or entity who is a guarantor, co-maker, surety or endorser of
the Note is fully and personally obligated to keep all of the promises made in
the Note and this Mortgage, including the promise to pay the full amount owed.
Any person or entity who takes over these obligations, including the obligations
of a guarantor, co-maker, surety or endorser of the Note, is also obligated to
keep all of the promises made in this Mortgage and in the Note. All subsequent
owners of the Property must keep all of my promises made in this Mortgage.
Lender may enforce its rights under the Convertible Note Acquisition Agreement,
the Note and this Mortgage against each person or entity individually or against
all of them together.
13. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS
All payments received by Lender or attributable as a reduction amount to
the unpaid principal under the Note shall be applied: first, to previously
accrued but unpaid interest under the Note; second, to charges for overdue
payments that are due under the Note; third, to amounts payable for taxes,
insurance, or other advances made by Lender on Borrower's behalf, if any;
fourth, to deposits that Borrower must pay, if any, for the payment of future
taxes and insurance; fifth, to current interest due; and last to principal.
14. APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER
Borrower agrees that Lender may, at any time pending a suit on this
Mortgage, apply to the court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a
receiver; and such court shall immediately appoint a receiver of the Property,
including all income, profits, issues, and revenues from whatever source derived
relating to the Property, all of which, is hereby mortgaged, as if specifically
set forth and
described in this Mortgage. Such appointment shall be made by the court as an
admitted equity and a matter of absolute right to Lender, and without reference
to the adequacy or inadequacy of the value of the Property, or to Borrower's
solvency or insolvency. Such rents, profits, income, issues, and revenues shall
be applied by the receiver according to the lien of this Mortgage and the
practice of the court.
15. ACCELERATION AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
Time is of the essence in Borrower's payment of amounts due under, and in
its performance of all promises under, the Convertible Note Acquisition
Agreement, the Note or this Mortgage. If Borrower fails to keep any promises
made in or satisfy requirements of this Mortgage and does not cure that failure
within fifteen (15) days following date on which Lender gives notice as provided
in the paragraph below entitled "Giving of Notices;" or if Borrower is dissolved
or liquidated; then Borrower will be in default without notice and Lender may
require Borrower to pay immediately the full amount of the principal which has
not been paid and all the interest that Borrower owes on that amount and any
other amounts that Borrower may owe pursuant to the Note or this Mortgage, and
Lender may, in addition to pursuing other remedies, foreclose this Mortgage by
judicial proceeding and sale of the Property.
16. PAYMENT OF LENDER'S ATTORNEYS FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES
If Borrower is in default as described above, Lender will have the right to
be repaid by Borrower for all of Lender's costs and expenses in enforcing this
Mortgage, the Convertible Note Acquisition Agreement or the Note to the extent
not prohibited by applicable law. Those expenses include, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees (before trial, at trial, or on appeal), and the cost
of a title abstract or other search for the Property.
17. GIVING OF NOTICES
Unless applicable law requires a different method, any notice to be given
to Borrower under this Mortgage will be given by personally delivering it or by
mailing it by registered mail, return receipt requested to Borrower at the
address provided above, or at a different address if Borrower has given Lender a
written notice of a different address for it.
Any notice that must be given to Lender under this Mortgage will be given
by mailing it by registered mail, return receipt requested to Lender at the
address stated above, or at a different address if Borrower has been given a
notice of that different address.
18. FORECLOSURE OF OTHER LIENS
If foreclosure proceedings of any mortgage or lien of any kind affecting
the Property, whether superior or inferior to this Mortgage, are instituted,
then Lender may at its option, immediately or thereafter, declare this Mortgage
and the entire indebtedness secured hereby due and payable.
19. NO WAIVER BY LENDER
If, at a time when Borrower is in default, Lender does not require Borrower
to pay immediately in full as described above, this will not be a waiver of
Lender's rights and Lender will still have the right to do so if Borrower is in
default at a later time.
20. RIGHT TO CURE
If Borrower defaults on any of its promises or agreements contained in this
Mortgage or in the Convertible Note Acquisition Agreement or this Note, then
without prejudicing Lender's right to other remedies, Lender may perform that
promise or agreement on Borrower's behalf, and all expenditures (including
reasonable attorney's fees) made by Lender in so doing shall bear interest at
the highest legal rate, and shall be repayable immediately and, together with
interest and costs accruing thereon, shall be secured by this Mortgage.
21. FUTURE ADVANCES
This Mortgage secures not only existing indebtedness, but also any future
advances that Lender might make to Borrower within twenty (20) years from the
date of this Mortgage, whether Lender is obligated to make those advances or
Lender makes them at its discretion. This Mortgage will secure such future
advances even if no advance is made on the date of this Mortgage and although no
indebtedness is outstanding when any advance is made. The total indebtedness
secured by this Mortgage may decrease or increase from time to time, but it will
not at any time exceed two times the face amount of the Note, plus interest and
any disbursements that Lender makes on Borrower's behalf for the payment of
taxes, insurance, or other reasons.
22. NO TRANSFER WITHOUT CONSENT
The loan represented by this Mortgage, the Convertible Note Acquisition
Agreement and the Note is personal to the Borrower. Borrower I recognizes that
Lender has made the loan based on its credit and character, and on its judgment
of Borrower's ability to repay the loan. Accordingly, this Mortgage may not be
assumed by any subsequent holder of any interest, title, or claim to the
Property without Lender's written consent. If Borrower attempts, at any time,
directly or indirectly, to lease the Property for a period of more than five (5)
years, grant an option to purchase the Property, sell, convey, or transfer any
interest or title in the Property without Lender's written approval, then the
remaining principal balance on the Note and all accrued interest thereon, and
all other sums secured by this Mortgage will, at Lender's option, without notice
or demand, become immediately due and payable.
23. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY
This Mortgage shall be governed by the law of the State of Florida. In the
event that any provision or clause of this Mortgage or of the Note conflicts
with applicable law, such conflict shall not affect other provisions of this
Mortgage, the Convertible Note Acquisition Agreement or the
Note which can be given effect without the conflicting provision. To this end
the provisions of this Mortgage, the Convertible Note Acquisition Agreement and
the Note are declared to be severable . 24. HAZARDOUS WASTE
Borrower warrants that the Property is not polluted or contaminated by any
hazardous or toxic materials, and, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, has not
in the past and is not presently being used for the handling, storage,
treatment, generation, transportation, or disposal of hazardous or toxic
materials. Also Borrower warrants that the Property contains no asbestos or
asbestos- containing materials, nor does it contain underground storage tanks.
Borrower agrees that it will not at any time in the future permit the Property
to be polluted or contaminated with hazardous or toxic materials, and it will
comply in all respects with all legal requirements intended to protect the
environment that might apply to the Property or to activities on the Property.
Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Lender harmless from all charges,
losses, damages, penalties, claims, expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and court costs before trial, and at trial and appellate levels), actions,
liabilities, and obligations incurred by or asserted against Lender relating to
or arising from any claimed or actual pollution or contamination of the Property
with hazardous or toxic materials. Borrower agrees that Lender may, and Borrower
gives Lender or its representatives an easement to enter upon the Property at
any time for the purpose of inspecting the Property for, and for conducting such
tests and inspections as Lender in its discretion might desire for discovering
the potential of, the existence of hazardous or toxic materials. If Lender at
any time determine that hazardous or toxic materials may be present on the
Property, or that the Property is being used for the use, handling, storage,
treatment, generation, transportation, or disposal of hazardous or toxic
materials, then Lender may require that Borrower immediately correct any
violations of law with respect to those materials and obtain all necessary
environmental permits and approvals with respect to those materials. Borrower's
failure to correct any such violation of the laws or to obtain such necessary
environmental permits and approvals within a reasonable time will be a default
under this Mortgage. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "hazardous or
toxic materials" will include, without limitation, petroleum and petroleum
products, asbestos, and all other substances that are regulated by federal,
state, or local environmental laws or regulations or the presence of which could
expose the owner, occupant, or operator of the Property, under any statute,
regulation, or legal theory, to liability for any damages, clean up costs, or
other losses or expenses.
25. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES
Borrower assigns to Lender and gives Lender a security interest in all
leases of the Property and all rents and revenues from the Property. However,
Borrower will continue to collect and use these rents and revenues as they
become due and payable for so long as Borrower is not in default on this
Mortgage, the Convertible Note Acquisition Agreement or the Note provided that
Borrower will not accept money from any tenant for more than one month in

apply first, first, to previously accrued but unpaid interest under the Note;
second, to late charges due under the Note; third, to amounts payable for taxes,
insurance, or other advances made by Lender on Borrower's behalf, if any;
fourth, to deposits that Borrower must pay, if any, for the payment of future
taxes and insurance; fifth, to current interest due; and last to principal'
however, such application will not cure any default.

Mortgage, then Borrower will be responsible to pay the cost of recording such
Satisfaction of this Mortgage.
27. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL

BEEN WAIVED. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH HAVE
