accrued interest and all other charges due under this agreement with respect to
the Term Loan, without prepayment fee or penalty, within 90 days after the

a promissory note in a form provided by Lender (the "Term Loan Note").
 
 
ARTICLE 2                          - THE REAL ESTATE LINE OF CREDIT
 
2.01 The Line of Credit.  Lender shall extend credit (the “Line of Credit”) from
time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the Line of Credit
Maturity Date (that period, including extensions, if any, the “Line of Credit
Availability Period”) by making loans to Borrower (each such loan a "Line of
Credit Loan") on a revolving basis.
 
2.02 Maximum Amount  The aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Line of
Credit Loans must not exceed $60,000,000.00 (the "Line of Credit Committed
Amount").
 
2.03 Loans under the Line of Credit.  Loans under the Line of Credit are subject
to Article 5.  Line of Credit Loans must be used only for financing general
corporate expenditures, including operating expenses, purchases of capital
assets, payment of dividends and general working capital.  Each Line of Credit
Loan must be a minimum of $100,000.00.  Up to 52 Line of Credit Loans per year
may be obtained without a disbursement fee.  Additional Line of Credit Loans
will be subject to a disbursement fee of $100.00 per Loan.
 
2.04 Revolving Nature.  The Line of Credit is a revolving line of credit; and
during the Line of Credit Availability Period, subject to the terms and
conditions of this agreement, Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow
them.
 
2.05 Commitment Fee.  During the Line of Credit Availability Period, Borrower
shall pay an annual commitment fee equal to 0.150% of the difference between the
annual average unpaid balance and the Line of Credit Committed Amount.  The
commitment fee shall be paid on February 1 of each year.  The commitment fee
with respect to any partial year will be prorated according to the ratio of the
number of days in that partial year period to the number of days in the entire
year.
 
2.06 Interest.  The unpaid principal balance of Loans under the Line of Credit
will bear interest at a rate equal to the one month LIBOR plus 2.500% per annum,
Adjusted on the first day of each Line of Credit Month (the "Line of Credit
LIBOR Indexed Rate").  Lender shall advise Borrower of the initial interest rate
not more than two (2) days prior to Closing. The term "Line of Credit Month"
means the one month period beginning on the first day of the calendar month
immediately following the Closing Date, and each successive one month period.
 
2.07 Interest Margin Adjustment.
 
(a) Commencing on February 1, 2011 and on each February 1 thereafter (each a
"Line of Credit Margin Adjustment Date"), Lender shall Adjust the Interest Rate
Margin applicable to the Line of Credit to an Interest Rate Margin determined
pursuant to the Pricing Grid attached hereto as Exhibit A (that, and any
replacement pricing grid, the “Pricing Grid”) based on Borrower’s Debt Service
Coverage Ratio for the immediately preceding fiscal year. Category 2 pricing
shall apply for interest accruing from Closing through the first Adjustment
Date.
 
(b) On October 1, 2015, Lender may Adjust the Interest Rate Margins set forth in
the Pricing Grid  applicable to the Line of Credit Loan to any percent per annum
determined by Lender.  Lender shall notify Borrower of the new Interest Rate
Margins (and Pricing Grid) not less than 30 days prior to the applicable date of
Adjustment.  The Pricing Grid shall become effective upon the applicable date of
Adjustment at the Debt Service Coverage Ratio category  then in effect; except
that Borrower may, at its option, prior to the applicable date of Adjustment,
notify Lender that Borrower will Prepay the entire unpaid principal balance of
the Line of Credit Loan, all accrued interest and other charges due under the
Line of Credit Loan, and terminate its ability to draw under the Line of
Credit.  Upon giving such notice, Borrower shall pay the entire unpaid principal
balance of the Line of Credit Loan, without prepayment fee or penalty, within 90
days after the applicable date of Adjustment.  If Lender does not receive such
notice, Borrower will be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the new
Pricing Grid.  A notice of election to prepay will not affect the effective date
of the Adjustment of the Interest Rate Margins.
 
2.08 Required Payments; Maturity Date.
 
(a) Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the Line of Credit on October 1, 2010
and on the first day of each January, April, July and October after the Closing
Date to the Line of Credit Maturity Date.

charges under this agreement with respect to the Line of Credit, shall be paid
on October 1, 2020 (the "Line of Credit Maturity Date").

Line of Credit may be made at any time without prepayment fee or penalty; except
that each Prepayment must be not less than $100,000.00.
 
2.10 The Line of Credit Note.  Loans under the Line of Credit will be evidenced
by this agreement and a promissory note in a form provided by Lender (the "Line
of Credit Note").
 
 
ARTICLE 3                       - COVENANTS REGARDING THE LOANS
 
3.01 Loan Requests.  Each Line of Credit Loan will be made upon the request of
Borrower (a "Loan Request").  Each Loan Request (a) must comply with the
requirements of Article 9; (b) at Lender's option, must be received by Lender
before 12:00 noon (St. Louis, Missouri time) on a Business Day which is not less
than one Business day prior to the date of the Loan; and (c) must specify the
amount of the Line of Credit Loan.  No Line of Credit Loan will be made if the
interest rate for that Loan would exceed the Maximum Rate.  Each Loan Request
will be irrevocable.  Lender may postpone making any Line of Credit Loan to the
extent Lender is delayed by fire, earthquake or another circumstance outside
Lender’s reasonable control.
 
3.02 Computation of Interest.  All computations of accrued interest under the
Loan Documents other than interest at the Maximum Rate, and all fees under the
Loan Documents, will be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual
number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed; and
all computations of interest accrued at the Maximum Rate will be based upon a
year of the actual number of days in the respective year.  Subject to Section
3.04, there is no limit on the amount that a rate of interest subject to
Adjustment by Lender may increase at any one time, or in the
aggregate.  Lender's determination of a rate of interest will be conclusive,
absent manifest error.
 
3.03 Default Rate.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the principal
balance of the Loans and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all other
Loan Obligations shall, from the date of the Event of Default until the date
Lender notifies Borrower that it is waived or cured or all Loan Obligations are
paid in full, bear interest at the Default Rate.  Subject to the provisions of
Section 3.04, the "Default Rate" means with respect to (i) the unpaid principal
balance of  the Term Loan, the rate per annum which would otherwise be in effect
plus 5.000% per annum; (ii) the unpaid principal balance of all Loans under the
Line of Credit, the rate per annum which would otherwise be in effect using the
Category 3 rate set forth in the Pricing Grid, plus 5.000% per annum; and (iii)
all other Loan Obligations, a rate equal to the highest Default Rate applicable
to the unpaid principal balance of any Loan.  Interest payable at the Default
Rate shall be paid from time to time on demand, or if not sooner demanded, on
the first day of each month.  The provisions of this section may result in
compounding of interest.  The provisions of this section will not constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default.
 
3.04 Maximum Rate.  Notwithstanding any provision of this agreement to the
contrary, (a) no interest will be due on any amount due under this agreement if,
under Applicable Law, Lender is not permitted to charge interest on that amount,
and (b) in all other cases interest due under this agreement will be calculated
at a rate not to exceed the Maximum Rate.  If Borrower is requested by Lender to
pay interest on any amount due under this agreement at a rate greater than the
Maximum Rate, the amount of interest due on that amount will be deemed the
Maximum Rate and all payments in excess of the Maximum Rate will be deemed to
have been Prepayments without prepayment fee or penalty, and not interest.  All
amounts other than interest which are paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for
the use, forbearance, or detention of Borrower's indebtedness to Lender under
this agreement shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized
and spread over the full stated term of the indebtedness, so that the rate of
interest on account of that indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Rate for so
long as the indebtedness is outstanding.
 
3.05 Method and Application of Payments. All payments of principal, interest,
and other amounts to be made under the Loan Documents shall be made to Lender in
U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds, without set-off, deduction, or
counterclaim, not later than 2:00 pm (St. Louis, Missouri time) on the dates on
which those payments will become due (any of those payments made after the time
on the due date will be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business
Day).  All payments received by Lender (including, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, all proceeds received from the sale or other liquidation of the
Collateral) will be applied to the Obligations in any order determined by
Lender.  The early or late date of making a regularly scheduled payment will be
disregarded for purposes of allocating the payment between principal and
interest.  For this purpose, the payment will be treated as though made on the
date due provided any late payments shall include interest at the applicable
Default Rate.  In any legal action or proceeding, the entries made by Lender in
an account or accounts maintained by Lender or Rabobank International or any of
their Affiliates in accordance with its usual practice and evidencing the
Obligations, will be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of those
Obligations.
 
3.06 Prepayments Generally.  Lender may refuse to accept any Prepayment not
expressly permitted in this agreement.  If a Prepayment is conditioned upon
prior notice to Lender, at the option of Lender, (a) that notice will be
irrevocable; (b) a Prepayment will be due in the amount and on the date
specified in that notice; and (c) that notice will not affect Borrower's
obligation to make all other payments required under the Loan Documents on the
date when due. Prepayments of the Term Loan must be accompanied by unpaid
accrued interest.  Lender may, at its option, condition any Prepayment of a Line
of Credit Loan upon payment of all amounts then due under this agreement.  Each
Prepayment of a portion of the Term Loan or a Line of Credit Loan will be
applied to the most remote payment of the principal due under this agreement
without affecting the amount or due date of any subsequent payment due under the
Term Loan or the Line of Credit Loan.  If Lender receives any Prepayment which
it is permitted to refuse, Lender may accept the Prepayment; except that Lender
may, as a condition of acceptance, require the payment of interest which would
accrue on the amount prepaid through the date when Lender would be obligated to
accept the Prepayment, or the date the principal amount prepaid would be due
under this agreement, whichever is earlier.
 
Notwithstanding that the Obligations are secured by the Collateral in its
entirety and provided that there has been no Event of Default and no material
decrease in the value of the Collateral, Lender will release that portion of the
Collateral comprised of the Citrus Groves upon receipt of immediately available
funds  in full repayment of all amounts due under the Term Loan, and will
release the portion of the Collateral comprised of the Collins Slough/Hill Grade
Tract properties upon receipt of immediately available funds  in full repayment
of all amounts due and the termination of the Line of Credit.
 
3.07 Reserved.
 
3.08 Mandatory Repayments.  If at any time the unpaid principal balance of a
Line of Credit Loan exceeds the maximum amount thereof under the terms of this
agreement, then, upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall repay that portion of the
principal balance thereof in excess of that maximum amount, along with all
unpaid accrued interest on that portion.
 
3.09 Inability to Determine Rates.  If, in connection with any Loan bearing
interest at a rate to be determined in whole or in part on the basis of the
applicable LIBOR (a “LIBOR Based Rate”), Lender determines that (a) United
States dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank
market for the applicable amount of such Loan, or (b) adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the applicable LIBOR Based Rate, Lender will
promptly so notify the Borrower.  Thereafter, the obligation of Lender to make
or maintain any Loan bearing interest at the applicable LIBOR Based Rate shall
be suspended until Lender revokes such notice, and all Loans which would
otherwise bear interest at the applicable LIBOR Based Rate shall accrue interest
at that rate, per annum, equal to the Prime Rate.
 
3.10 Hedging Agreements and Hedging Obligations.  In the event Borrower or any
of them has any interest rate swap Hedging Obligations related to the Loans, a
Prepayment hereunder may trigger a close-out of corresponding parties as to
Hedging Agreements at Lender’s option, in the event that Borrower does not have
outstanding amounts under the Loans bearing interest at a LIBOR rate in amount
equal to or in excess of the notional amount of the interest rate swap from time
to time.
 
 
ARTICLE 4                         - COLLATERAL
 
4.01 Collateral Documents.  The payment and performance of the Obligations shall
be secured by all liens upon and security interests in any rights, title and
interests in property, created under the terms and conditions of any instrument
or agreement between any Borrower and Lender or Rabobank International or any of
their Affiliates, whether now existing or hereafter arising, stating that it
secures the payment or performance of the Loan Obligations or the indebtedness,
liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Lender, generally (those rights,
title and interests, individually and collectively, the "Collateral;" and those
instruments and agreements, the "Collateral Documents"). The Collateral
Documents include, without limitation, that certain Florida Mortgage, Security
Agreement and Financing Statement of even date herewith from Borrower to Lender
in its capacities as Mortgagee and Collateral Agent. The Collateral and
Collateral Documents secure the Term Loan, the Line of Credit and the Hedging
Obligations.
 
4.02            Due on Sale or Encumbrance Provisions.  Each Collateral Document
which is a mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt includes substantially
the following provision:  Mortgagor shall not, without Collateral Agent's or
Mortgagee's prior written consent in each instance, directly or indirectly sell,
grant, convey, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of the Real Estate or any
portion thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, or permit or suffer any such sale, grant,
conveyance, transfer, assignment or other disposition of same.  Furthermore, if
Mortgagor is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other
entity, Mortgagor shall not, without Collateral Agent's or Mortgagee's prior
written consent, directly or indirectly permit, allow or suffer any person or
entity having, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediate persons
or otherwise, any stock, partnership, legal, beneficial, or other ownership
interest in Mortgagor, to convey, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate,
mortgage, encumber, or otherwise dispose of such interest, if as a result of
such transaction or transactions, either (i) any person or entity having a
Controlling Interest (as hereinafter defined) in Mortgagor immediately prior
thereto would cease to have a Controlling Interest in Mortgagor immediately
thereafter, or (ii) any person or entity not having a Controlling Interest in
Mortgagor immediately prior thereto would have a Controlling Interest in
Mortgagor immediately thereafter.  "Controlling Interest" means the legal or
beneficial ownership, use, enjoyment, or benefit, directly or indirectly,
through one or more intermediate persons, of the power to direct the removal and
replacement of management, including the chief executive officer, of Mortgagor,
directly or indirectly, whether through the direct or indirect ownership, of
voting securities, by contract or otherwise.  Except as provided below in this
paragraph, any sale, grant, conveyance, transfer, assignment or other
disposition described in this paragraph, without Collateral Agent's or
Mortgagee's prior written consent, shall, at Collateral Agent's or Mortgagee's
sole option, constitute a default under this Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents, entitling Collateral Agent or Mortgagee immediately to exercise all
rights and remedies under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents without
notice to Mortgagor or any other parties.  Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary:  (i) any direct or indirect conveyance, transfer,
assignment or other disposition (the “Event”) of any stock, partnership, limited
liability company, legal, beneficial or other interest in Mortgagor shall not be
a default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents as long as either (A) the
chief executive officer of Mortgagor immediately prior to such Event is not
actually removed or replaced (other than as a result of the death or disability
of the chief executive officer which shall not be deemed a removal or
replacement) within two (2) years of such Event, or (B) those persons or
entities having a direct or indirect Controlling Interest in Mortgagor as of the
date of this Agreement, continue to have, in the aggregate with their Affiliates
and Related Parties, a direct or indirect Controlling Interest in Mortgagor,
(ii) the transfer of the Real Estate to an Affiliate of Mortgagor (a
“Transferee-Affiliate”) by merger of Mortgagor into such Affiliate shall not be
a default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents so long as those persons
or entities having a direct or indirect Controlling Interest in Mortgagor as of
the date of this Agreement, continue to have, in the aggregate with their
Affiliates and Related Parties, a direct or indirect Controlling Interest in
said Transferee-Affiliate, (iii) the transfer of the Real Estate to a
wholly-owned Affiliate of Mortgagor (a “Wholly-Owned Affiliate”) shall not be a
default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents so long as said Wholly-Owned
Affiliate remains wholly-owned by Mortgagor or an Affiliate of Mortgagor and
executes and delivers to Lender a guaranty of all of the Obligations and all
other instruments and agreements required by Lender pursuant to Paragraph 7.12
below, and (iv) any pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of a direct or indirect
interest in Mortgagor without the actual transfer of voting rights with respect
thereto shall not be deemed to constitute a conveyance, transfer, assignment,
pledge, hypothecation, mortgage, encumbrance or other disposition of such
interest for purposes of this Paragraph 4.02 (provided, however, either (A) a
pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of a direct or indirect interest in
Mortgagor together with the actual transfer of voting rights with respect
thereto or (B) a transfer of the voting rights pursuant to the exercise or
enforcement of such permitted pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance, shall be
deemed to constitute a conveyance, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation,
mortgage, encumbrance or other disposition of such interest for purposes of this
Paragraph 4.02).  If an Event described in (i) (A) above occurs followed by the
removal or replacement of the chief executive officer within two (2) years of
such Event, Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee and Collateral Agent in writing
(“Change Notice”) and if Mortgagee and Collateral Agent desire, as a result
thereof, to assert a default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
Mortgagee and Collateral Agent shall send written notice of default to Mortgagor
within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Change Notice, failing which
they shall be deemed to have waived the right to assert such default as a result
of the Event.   “Related Parties” means, in the case of an individual, members
of such individual’s “Immediate Family”, family trusts for the benefit of such
individual and/or his or her Immediate Family, and entities in which such
individual and/or Related Parties have a Controlling Interest.  “Immediate
Family” shall mean the ancestors, siblings, spouse, and lineal descendants of an
individual and the spouses of such siblings and lineal descendants.
Notwithstanding any transfer otherwise permitted hereunder, all Obligations,
including but not limited to  all financial covenants, shall remain in full
force and effect.

collectively: (i) represent the sum of the understandings and agreements between
Lender and Borrower concerning this credit; (ii) replace any prior oral or
written agreements between Lender and Borrower concerning this credit; and (iii)
are intended by Lender and Borrower as the final, complete and exclusive
statement of the terms agreed to by them.  In the event of any conflict between
this agreement and any other agreements required by this agreement, this
agreement will prevail.
 
11.02 Joint and Several Obligations.  If Borrower consists of more than one
Person, each Borrower (a) expressly acknowledges that it has benefited and will
benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Loan and acknowledges and
undertakes, together with the other Borrowers, joint and several liability for
the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, of all Loan Obligations; (b) acknowledges that this agreement is the
independent and several obligation of each Borrower and may be enforced against
each Borrower separately, whether or not enforcement of any right or remedy
hereunder has been sought against any other Borrower; and (c) agrees that its
liability hereunder and under any other Loan Document is absolute,
unconditional, continuing and irrevocable.  BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY

without notice, waive any prior requirement that requests, authorizations, or

participations in all or any portion of its interest in the Loans or under the
Loan Documents to any Person.  Lender may disclose to any actual or potential
assignee or participant any information or documents that Borrower has delivered
to Lender in connection with the Loan Documents; and Borrower shall cooperate
fully with Lender in providing such information and documents.  If Lender
assigns or sells a participation in the Loans or the Loan Documents, the
purchaser will have the right of set-off against Borrower.
 
11.06 Severability.  Any provision of any Loan Document which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions of that Loan Document or affecting the validity or
enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction; except that if such
provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then Lender may, at its
option, declare all Loan Obligations immediately due and payable.
 
11.07 Amendments in Writing.  The Loan Documents may not be amended, changed,
modified, altered or terminated without the prior written consent of all parties
to the respective Loan Document.
 
11.08 Governing Law.  Except as expressly stated therein, the Loan Documents
will be governed exclusively by the applicable laws of the State of Florida (the
"Governing Law State") without regard or reference to its conflict of laws
principles.  Borrower understands that the laws of the Governing Law State may
differ from the laws of the State where Borrower resides or otherwise is located
or where the Collateral is located.  Borrower understands, agrees and
acknowledges that (a) this agreement and the transaction evidenced hereby have
significant and substantial contacts with the Governing Law State, (b) it is
convenient to Borrower and Lender to select the law of the Governing Law State
to govern this agreement and the transactions evidenced hereby, (c) the
transactions evidenced by this agreement bear a reasonable connection to the

reliance on this choice.

TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT WILL BE LITIGATED IN THE

DIVISION) OR THE FLORIDA STATE COURT LOCATED IN POLK COUNTY, FLORIDA.  BORROWER
IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE OF THOSE COURTS FOR ALL
SUCH ACTIONS, PROCEEDINGS AND COUNTERCLAIMS AND WAIVES ANY OTHER VENUE TO WHICH
IT MIGHT BE ENTITLED BY VIRTUE OF DOMICILE, HABITUAL RESIDENCE OR OTHERWISE.
 
11.10 Counterpart Execution.  The Loan Documents may be executed in
counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which together are

general authorization or similar document on file with Lender shall authorize
third Persons to provide the information requested from time to time.
 
11.13 No Construction Against Drafter.  Each Party has participated in
negotiating and drafting this agreement, so if an ambiguity or a question of
intent or interpretation arises, this agreement is to be construed as if the
parties had drafted it jointly, as opposed to being construed against a Party
because it was responsible for drafting one or more provisions of this
agreement.
 
11.14 INDEMNIFICATION.  BORROWER SHALL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD LENDER AND ITS
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, AGENTS AND ATTORNEYS (THE "INDEMNIFIED

FUNDS ACQUIRED BY LENDER TO FUND THE LOAN; (II) AS A RESULT OF ITS ACTS OR

OF OR RESULTING FROM THE VIOLATION BY BORROWER OF ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW; (IV)
RESULTING FROM THE REASONABLE RELIANCE BY LENDER ON EACH NOTICE PURPORTEDLY

SECTION WITH RESPECT TO LOSSES RESULTING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT OF THAT INDEMNIFIED PERSON AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT

IN FAVOR OF INDEMNIFIED PARTIES IS UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, BORROWER SHALL
TO MAKE THE MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTION TO THE PAYMENT AND SATISFACTION THEREOF WHICH
IS PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.  ALL INDEMNITIES UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS
IN FAVOR OF INDEMNIFIED PARTIES SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
 

 
11.15 COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT.  The Loan Documents are subject to the terms
of the Collateral Agency Agreement. Such agreement does not affect Borrower’s
obligations under the Loan Documents and allows the Hedging Obligations to be

Term Loan, the Line of Credit Loan and/or the Loan Documents after the effective
date of such endorsement and assignment by Lender.  In connection with the above
mentioned endorsement and assignment by Lender, Lender shall deliver a pay-off
statement of the amounts owing and represent and warrant only (i) that it owns
and holds the Loan Documents so endorsed and assigned and (ii) that none of the
Loan Documents so endorsed and assigned have been otherwise sold, assigned,

authority to assign and endorse the Loan Documents.  Nothing herein shall
