for the payment of all purchaser closing costs in connection with the closing of
the Purchase and Sale Agreement; (b) the documentary stamp taxes and county

                                       2
<PAGE>

provisions shall survive the closing of the purchase and sale transaction(s)
contemplated hereby.

     5.   Conditions Precedent to Assignment.  Century's obligation to close on
          -----------------------------------
the purchase of the Properties shall be contingent upon the following conditions
being satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date:

     (a)  the Sellers shall have consented to assignment of the Purchase and
          Sale Agreement from CPG to Century.

In the event the above contingency is not met by the Closing Date, Century may
cancel this Agreement by sending written notice of cancellation to CPG and the
Deposit shall be returned to Century and the parties shall be relieved and
discharged of all obligations hereunder to one another.

     6.   Closing Date. The closing of this Agreement shall be on the date, time
          ------------
and place of the closing of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Closing Date"
or "Closing").  If the Closing Date under the Purchase and Sale Agreement has
been extended, then an identical extension shall apply to the Closing Date
hereunder.  Additionally, Century understands and acknowledges that the Closing
Dates for certain phases of lots, may differ, such that all of the Properties
may not be purchased simultaneously.

     7.   No Brokers.  Century and CPG each represent to the other that they
          ----------
have not dealt with any brokers, and each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the
other harmless from and against any costs, fees, damages, claims and liabilities
including, without limitation, attorneys' fees through all trial and appellate
levels of litigation, arising out of any claim made by any other broker or
salesman, claiming by reason of its dealings with Century or CPG.  This
indemnification shall survive the earlier termination of this Agreement or
Closing.

     8.   Sale by CPG.  If notwithstanding CPG's reasonable efforts to obtain
          -----------
the Sellers' consent, the Seller (hereinafter the "Non-Consenting Seller") fails
to consent to the assignment of the Purchase and Sale Agreement to Century, then
Century hereby agrees to waive the condition precedent contained in subparagraph
5 (a) and proceed to close the transaction contemplated hereby as a sale from
CPG to Century occurring simultaneously with the sale of the Properties from the
Non-Consenting Seller to CPG. In such event, Century shall be responsible for
the payment of each Non-Consenting Seller's respective purchase price, and CPG
shall simultaneously convey to Century the Properties conveyed to CPG by each
Non-Consenting Seller receiving in consideration therefor the Purchase Price (or
portion thereof adjusted in accordance with the proportion which the total
acreage sold by any Non-Consenting Seller bears to the total acreage of all of
the Properties) and granting Century a credit equal to the amount paid to each
Non-Consenting Seller by Century. Additionally, the closing costs and real
estate tax prorations which may arise from a sale by CPG of any one or more of
the Properties acquired from a Non-Consenting Seller to Century, shall be
divided or prorated between CPG as seller and Century as purchaser in the

                                       3

manner customary for similar real estate transactions in Miami-Dade County,
Florida, except that in the event there are documentary stamp taxes and county
surtax due and not payable by Seller, such documentary stamp taxes and county
surtax, shall be divided equally between Century and CPG.

     9.   Contract not Recordable; Notice.  Neither this Agreement nor any
          -------------------------------
notice or memorandum of it shall be recorded in any public records. Notice given
by or to the attorney for any party shall be effective as if given by or to that
party.

     10.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the parties complete
          ----------------
understanding of the terms and conditions of their agreement.  No terms,
provisions or conditions may be amended unless in writing and signed by CPG and
Century.

     11.  Counterparts.  This Agreement can be executed in counterparts, in
          ------------
which case, each executed counterpart will be deemed to be an original and all
executed counterparts will constitute one and the same instrument.  This
Agreement will become effective when each party has executed a counterpart and
delivered it to the other parties.

     12.  Attorney's Fees.  In the event of any litigation between the parties
          ---------------
relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
all of its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees in all
courts, from the non-prevailing party.

     13.  Credit for CPG Affiliate Assignment.  CPG and Century acknowledge and
          -----------------------------------
agree that the credit against the Sellers' Purchase Price to be received by
Century, as assignee of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Purchase Price
Credit") shall also be repaid to CPG by Century according to the terms of the
first Promissory Note executed (for the Phase I lots as defined in the Purchase
and Sale Agreement) and referenced in paragraph 4 hereunder.


     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned parties have caused this instrument to
be executed the date and year first above written.
