closing if SELLER is a "foreign person" as defined by federal law.

                               PROPERTY CONDITION

6. LAND USE: SELLER will deliver the Property to BUYER at the time agreed in
its present "as is" condition, with conditions resulting from BUYER'S
Inspections and casualty damage, if any, excepted. SELLER will maintain the
landscaping and grounds in a comparable condition and will not engage in or
permit any activity that would materially alter the Property's condition
without the BUYER'S prior written consent.
(A) RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY ONLY: SELLER represents that, other than
________________, SELLER does not know of any facts that materially affect the
value of the Property other than those that BUYER knows or can readily observe,
or of any violations of governmental laws, rules or regulations applicable to
the Property in its existing use.
(B) FLOOD ZONE: BUYER is advised to verify by survey, with the lender and with
appropriate government agencies which flood zone the Property is in, whether
flood insurance is required and what restrictions apply to improving the
Property and rebuilding in the event of casualty.
(C) GOVERNMENT REGULATION: BUYER is advised that changes in government
regulations and levels of service which affect BUYER'S intended use of the
Property will not be grounds for canceling this Contract if the Feasibility
Study Period has expired or if BUYER has checked choice (d)(2) below.
(D) INSPECTIONS: (Check (1) or (2) below)
[X] (1) FEASIBILITY STUDY: BUYER will, at BUYER'S expense and within 60 days
from Effective Date ("Feasibility Study Period"), determine whether the
Property is suitable, in BUYER'S sole and absolute discretion, for
Industrial Commercial use. During the Feasibility Study Period, BUYER may
conduct a Phase I environmental assessment and any other tests, analyses,
surveys and investigations ("Inspections") that BUYER deems necessary to
determine to BUYER'S satisfaction the Property's engineering, architectural and
environmental properties; zoning and zoning restrictions; subdivision
statutes; soil and grade; availability of access to public roads, water, and
other utilities; consistency with local, state and regional growth management
plans; availability of permits, government approvals, and licenses; and other
inspections that BUYER deems appropriate to determine the Property's
suitability for the BUYER'S intended use. If the Property must be rezoned,
BUYER will obtain the rezoning from the appropriate government agencies. SELLER
will sign all documents BUYER is required to file in connection with
development or rezoning approvals, provided SELLER incurs no expense or
liability in the application process or related proceedings.

SELLER gives BUYER, its agents, contractors and assigns, the right to enter the
Property at any time during the Feasibility Study Period for the purpose of
conducting Inspections; provided, however, that BUYER, its agents, contractors
and assigns enter the Property and conduct Inspections at their own risk. BUYER
will indemnify and hold SELLER harmless from losses, damages, costs, claims and
expenses of any nature, including attorney's fees, and from liability to any
person, arising from the conduct of any and all Inspections or any work
authorized by BUYER. BUYER will not engage in any activity that could result in
a construction lien being filed against the Property without SELLER'S prior
written consent. If this transaction does not close, BUYER will, at BUYER'S
expense, (1) repair all damages to the Property resulting from the Inspections
and return the Property to the condition it was in prior to conduct of the
Inspections, and (2) release to SELLER all reports and other work generated as
a result of the Inspections.

Buyer will deliver written notice to SELLER prior to the expiration of the
Feasibility Study Period of BUYER'S determination of whether or not the
Property is acceptable. BUYER'S failure to comply with this notice requirement
will constitute acceptance of the Property as suitable for BUYER'S intended use
in its "as is" condition. If the Property is unacceptable to BUYER and written
notice of this fact is timely delivered to SELLER, this Contract will be deemed
terminated as of the day after the Feasibility Study period ends and BUYER'S
deposit(s) will be returned after Escrow Agent receives proper authorization
from all interested parties.

7. RISK OF LOSS; EMINENT DOMAIN: If any portion of the Property is materially
damaged by casualty before closing, or SELLER negotiates with a governmental
authority to transfer all or part of the Property in lieu of eminent domain
proceedings, or if an eminent domain proceeding is initiated, SELLER will
promptly inform BUYER. Either party may cancel this Contract by written notice
to the other within 10 days from BUYER'S receipt of SELLER'S notification,
failing which BUYER will close in accordance with this Contract and receive all
payments made by the government authority or insurance company, if any.

                                     TITLE

8. TITLE: SELLER will convey marketable title to the Property by statutory
warranty deed or trustee, personal representative or guardian deed as
appropriate to SELLER'S status.
(a) Title Evidence: Title evidence will show legal access to the Property and
marketable title of record in SELLER in accordance with current title standards
adopted by the Florida Bar, subject only to the following title exceptions,
none of which prevent residential use of the Property; covenants, easements and
restrictions of record; matters of plat; existing zoning and government
regulations; oil, gas and mineral rights of record if there is no right of
entry; current taxes; mortgages that BUYER will assume; and encumbrances that
SELLER will discharge at or before closing.

                  (1) A title insurance commitment issued by a Florida-licensed
                  title insurer in the amount of the purchase price and subject
                  only to title exceptions set forth in this Contract.

                  (2) An existing abstract of title from a reputable and
                  existing abstract firm (if firm is not existing, then abstract
                  must be certified as correct by an existing firm) purporting
                  to be an accurate synopsis of the instruments affecting title
                  to the Property recorded in the public records of the county
                  where the Property is located and certified to Effective Date.
                  However if such an abstract is not available to Seller, then a
                  prior owner's title policy acceptable to the proposed insurer
                  as a base for reissuance of coverage. Seller will pay for
                  copies of all policy exceptions and an update in a format
                  acceptable to Buyer's closing agent from the policy effective
                  date and certified to Buyer or Buyer's closing agent, together
                  with copies of all documents recited in the prior policy and
                  in the update. If a prior policy is not available to Seller
                  then (1) above will be the title evidence. Title evidence will
                  be delivered no later than 10 days before Closing Date.

         (b) Title Examination: Buyer will examine the title evidence and
         deliver written notice to Seller, within 5 days from receipt of title
         evidence but no later than closing, of any defects that make the title
         unmarketable. Seller will have 30 days from receipt of Buyer's notice
         of defects ("Curative Period") to cure the defects at Seller's expense.
         If Seller cures the defects within the Curative Period, Seller will
         deliver written notice to Buyer and the parties will close the
         transaction on Closing Date or within 10 days from Buyer's receipt of
         Seller's notice if Closing Date has passed. If Seller is unable to cure
         the defects within the Curative Period, Seller will deliver written
         notice to Buyer and Buyer will, within 10 days from receipt of Seller's
         notice, either cancel this Contract or accept title with existing
         defects and close the transaction.

         (c) Survey: Buyer may, prior to Closing Date and at Buyer's expense,
         have the Property surveyed and deliver written notice to Seller, within
         5 days from receipt of survey but no later than closing, of any
         encroachments on the Property, encroachments by the Property's
         improvements on other lands or deed restriction or zoning violations.
         Any such encroachment or violation will be treated in the same manner
         as a title defect and Buyer's and Seller's obligations will be
         determined in accordance with subparagraph (b) above. If any part of
         the Property lies seaward of the coastal construction control line,
         Seller will provide Buyer with an affidavit or survey as required by
         law delineating the line's location on the property, unless Buyer
         waives this requirement in writing.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

9. EFFECTIVE DATE; TIME: The "Effective Date" of this Contract is the date on
which the last of the parties initial or signs the latest offer. Time is of the
essence for all provisions of this Contract. All time periods will be computed
in business days (a "business day" is every calendar day except Saturday,
Sunday and national legal holidays). If any deadline falls on a Saturday,
Sunday or national legal holiday, performance will be due the next business
day. All time periods will end at 5:00 p.m. local time (meaning in the county
where the Property is located) of the appropriate day.

10. NOTICES: All notices will be made to the parties and Broker by mail,
personal delivery or electronic media. Buyer's failure to delivery timely
written notice to Seller, when such notice is required by this Contract,
regarding any contingencies will render that contingency null and void and the
Contract will be construed as if the contingency did not exist.

11. COMPLETE AGREEMENT: This Contract is the entire agreement between Buyer and
Seller. Except for brokerage agreements, no prior or present agreements will
bind Buyer, Seller or Broker unless incorporated into this Contract.
Modifications of this Contract will not be binding unless in writing, signed
and delivered by the party to be bound. Signatures, initials, documents
referenced in this Contract, counterparts and written modifications
communicated electronically or on paper will be acceptable for all purposes,
including delivery, and will be binding. Handwritten or typewritten terms
inserted in or attached to this Contract prevail over preprinted terms. If any
provision of this Contract is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, all
remaining provisions will continue to be fully effective. This Contract will
not be recorded in any public records.

12. ASSIGNABILITY; PERSONS BOUND: Buyer may not assign this Contract without
Seller's written consent. The terms "Buyer," "Seller," and "Broker" may be
singular or plural. This Contract is binding on the heirs, administrators,
executors, personal representatives and assigns (if permitted) of Buyer, Seller
and Broker.

                         DEFAULT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

13. DEFAULT: (a) Seller Default: If for any reason other than failure of Seller
to make Seller's title marketable after diligent effort, Seller fails, refuses
or neglects to perform this Contract, Buyer may choose to receive a return of
Buyer's deposit without waiving the right to seek damages or to seek specific
performance as per Paragraph 16. Seller will also be liable to Broker for the
full amount of the brokerage fee. (b) Buyer Default: If Buyer fails to perform
this Contract within the time specified, including timely payment of all
deposits, Seller may choose to retain and collect all deposits paid and agreed
to be paid as liquidated damages or to seek specific performance as per
Paragraph 16; and Broker will, upon demand, receive 50% of all deposits paid
and agreed to be paid (to be split equally among cooperating brokers) up to the
full amount of the brokerage fee.

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION: This Contract will be construed under Florida law. All
controversies, claims, and other matters in question between the parties
arising out of or relating to this Contract or its breach will be settled as
follows: (See 18, Additional Terms)

                            ESCROW AGENT AND BROKER

15. ESCROW AGENT: Buyer and Seller authorize Escrow Agent to receive, deposit
and hold funds and other items in escrow and, subject to clearance, disburse
them upon proper authorization and in accordance with the terms of this
Contract, including disbursing brokerage fees. The parties agree that Escrow
Agent will not be liable to any person for misdelivery of escrowed items to
Buyer or Seller, unless the misdelivery is due to Escrow Agent's willful
breach of this Contract or gross negligence. If Escrow Agent interpleads the
subject matter of the escrow, Escrow Agent will pay the filing fees and costs
from the deposit and will recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to be
paid from the escrowed funds or equivalent and charged and awarded as court
costs in favor of the prevailing party. All claims against Escrow Agent will
be arbitrated, so long as Escrow Agent consents to arbitrate.

16. PROFESSIONAL ADVICE; BROKER LIABILITY: Broker advises Buyer and Seller to
verify all facts and representations that are important to them and to consult
an appropriate professional for legal advice (for example, interpreting
contracts, determining the effect of laws on the Property and transaction,
status of title, foreign investor reporting requirements, etc.) and for tax,
property condition, environmental and other specialized advice. Buyer
acknowledges that Broker does not reside in the Property and that all
representations (oral, written or otherwise) by Broker are based on Seller
representations or public records unless Broker indicates personal verification
of the representation. Buyer agrees to rely solely on Seller, professional
inspectors and governmental agencies for verification of the Property condition
and facts that materially affect Property value. Buyer and Seller respectively
will pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees at all
levels, incurred by Broker and Broker's officers, directors, agents and
employees in connection with or arising from Buyer's or Seller's misstatement
or failure to perform contractual obligations. Buyer and Seller hold harmless
and release Broker and Broker's officers, directors, agents and employees from
all liability for loss or damage based on (1) Buyer's or Seller's misstatement
or failure to perform contractual obligations; (2) Broker's performance, at
Buyer's and/or Seller's request, of any task beyond the scope of services
regulated by Chapter 475, F.S., as amended, including Broker's referral,
recommendation or retention of any vendor; (3) services or products provided;
and (4) expenses incurred by any vendor. Buyer and Seller each assume full
responsibility for selecting and compensating their respective vendors. This
paragraph will not relieve Broker of statutory obligations. For purposes of
this paragraph, Broker will be treated as a party to this Contract. This
paragraph will survive closing.

17. BROKERS: The licensee(s) and brokerage(s) named below are collectively
referred to as "Broker." Seller and Buyer acknowledge that the brokerage(s)
named below are the procuring cause of this transaction. Instruction to Closing
Agent: Seller and Buyer direct closing agent to disburse at closing the full
amount of the brokerage fees as specified in separate brokerage agreements
with the parties and cooperative agreements between the brokers, unless Broker
has retained such fees from the escrowed funds. In the absence of such
brokerage agreements, closing agent will disburse brokerage fees as indicated
below.
