Borrower:   UTEK Corporation             Lender:   The Bank of Tampa
            202 S. Wheeler Street                  Post Office Box One
            Plant City, FL 33566                   Tampa, FL  33601-0001
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Principal Amount: $500,000.00   Initial Rate: 6.25%
                         Date of Note: September 10, 2001

PROMISE TO PAY. UTEK Corporation ("Borrower") promises to pay The Bank of Tampa
("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, on
demand, the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollars
($500,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the
unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be
calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan immediately upon Lender's demand. Payment
in full is due immediately upon Lender's demand. Borrower will pay regular
monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date,
beginning October 10, 2001, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on
the same day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by
applicable law, payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then
to principal, and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs and late
charges. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis;
that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360
days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual
number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at
Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in
writing.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from
time to time based on changes in an independent index which is The prime rate as
published daily in the Wall Street Journal, more specifically defined as the
base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation's 30 largest
banks (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by
Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this
loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notice to Borrower. Lender
will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. The interest
rate change will not occur more often than each business day. Borrower
understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index
currently is 6.500% per annum. The Interest rate to be applied to the unpaid
principal balance of this Note will be at a rate of 0.250 percentage points
under the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 6.250% per annum. NOTICE: Under
no circumstances will the effective rate of interest on this Note be more than
the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges
are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund
upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as
otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without
penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early
payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of
Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest.

<PAGE>

Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees
not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or
similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without
losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrow will remain obligated
to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning
disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates
that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is
tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a
disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: The Bank of Tampa, Post Office
Box 31319 Tampa, FL 33601-0001.

LATE CHARGE. If a regularly scheduled interest payment is 10 days or more late,
Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled
payment. If Lender demands payment of this loan, and Borrower does not pay the
loan in full within 10 days after Lender's demand, Borrower also will be charged
5.000% of the unpaid portion of the sum of the unpaid principal plus accrued
unpaid interest.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final
maturity, Lender, at it option, may, if permitted under applicable law, increase
the variable interest rate on this Note to 18.000% per annum, if an to the
extent that the increase does not cause the interest rate to exceed the maximum
rate permitted by applicable law.

DEFAULT.  Each of the following shall  constitute an event of default ("Event of
Default") under this Note:

         Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this
         Note.

         Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other
         term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in

         between Lender and Borrower.

         Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults
         under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or
         sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor
         or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or
         Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower's obligation
         under this Note or any of the related documents.

         False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
         furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Note

         includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts, including deposit
         accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply
         if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or
         reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or

         the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies
         or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an

         adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

or unauthorized fee shall, instead of anything stated to the contrary, be
applied first to reduce the principal balance of this loan, and when the

ten (10) day period.

more than ten (10) days after the Escrow Agent shall have sent a copy of such
demand to Seller in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.(c) of this
Agreement nor thereafter, if the Escrow Agent shall have received a Notice of
Objection from Seller within such ten (10) day period.

     (c) Within two (2) business days of the receipt by the Escrow Agent of a
Seller's Demand for Deposit or a Buyer's Demand for Deposit the Escrow Agent

delivery of the Deposit by sending written notice (the "Notice of Objection") of
such objection to the Escrow Agent in the manner provided in Section 16 of this
Agreement, which Notice of Objection shall be deemed null and void and
ineffective if such Notice of Objection is not received by the Escrow Agent
within the time periods prescribed in Section 10.(b) of this Agreement. Such

but not limited to, depositing the Earnest Money Deposit in the appropriate
court for the County in which the Premises is located, and bringing an action
for interpleader, the costs thereof to be

<PAGE>

deducted from the amount so deposited into the registry of the court; provided,
however, that upon disbursement of the deposited amount pursuant to court order
or otherwise, the prevailing party shall be entitled to collect from the losing
party the amount of such costs and expenses so deducted by the Escrow Agent.

provided, and Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatever except for willful

faith. The Seller and Buyer each release the Escrow Agent from any act done or
omitted to be done by the Escrow Agent in good faith in the performance of its
duties hereunder.

     (f) Upon making delivery of the Earnest Money Deposit in the manner herein
provided, the Escrow Agent shall have no further liability hereunder.

the option to reduce or abate rent or terminate the Lease, or if it gives Tenant
such option and Tenant waives such option in writing, then the parties shall
proceed with the Closing in accordance with, and subject to the terms hereof. In
such event, all such proceeds of any insurance plus the amount of any deductible
(which shall be paid by Seller) will be applied toward reconstruction.

     15. Remedies Upon Default.

     (a) In the event Buyer breaches or defaults under any of the terms of this
Agreement prior to or on the Closing Date, the sole and exclusive remedy of
Seller shall be to receive from Escrow Agent the full amount of the Earnest
Money Deposit, and Buyer shall have no right therein. Buyer and Seller
acknowledge and agree that (i) the Earnest Money Deposit and any interest earned
thereon if received in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is a
reasonable estimate of and bears a reasonable relationship to the damages that
would be suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn
the Premises from sale and the failure of Closing to occur due to a default of
Buyer under this Agreement; (ii) the actual damages suffered and costs incurred
by Seller as a result of such withdrawal and failure to close due to a default
of Buyer under this Agreement would be extremely difficult and impractical to
determine; (iii) Buyer seeks to limit its liability under this Agreement to the
amount of the Earnest Money Deposit, and any interest earned thereon if the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not close due to a default of
Buyer under this Agreement; and (iv) such amount shall be and constitute valid
liquidated damages.

     (b) In the event Seller defaults under any of the terms of this Agreement
on or prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, by failing or
refusing to deliver any items required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5 or
Section 6 of this Agreement), Buyer shall

<PAGE>

be entitled to (i) receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit and terminate
this Agreement, or (ii) compel specific performance of this Agreement, in which
event Buyer may also recover its damages incurred as a result of such default,
including but not limited to all of its costs and attorneys' fees in seeking
such specific performance, or (iii) if specific performance is not possible or
if Buyer elects not to pursue specific performance, recover damages incurred as
a result of such default, which shall include damages resulting from a breach of
any warranty or representation of Seller as of the Closing even if the same is
not discovered until after the Closing, to the extent the same survive the
Closing.

     16. Notices. All notices, elections, requests and other communication
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when personally
delivered, or (ii) two (2) business days after being deposited in the United
States mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered, or (iii) the next
business day after being deposited with a recognized overnight mail or courier
delivery service, or (iv) when transmitted by facsimile or telecopy
transmission, with receipt acknowledge upon transmission; addressed as follows

     17. Brokerage Commissions. Seller and Buyer each warrant to the other party
that no finders or brokers have been involved with the introduction of Buyer and
Tenant and/or the execution and delivery of the Lease and the leasing of the
Premises pursuant thereto. In the event of a breach of the foregoing warranties,
the breaching party agrees to save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
non-breaching party from and against any claims, losses, damages, liabilities
and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys' fees. The obligations of
this Section shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

     18. Miscellaneous Provisions.

     (a) Assignment; Binding Effect. Buyer may assign all of its rights and
obligations hereunder without the written consent of Seller to any entity which
is owned or controlled by CNL Retirement Properties, Inc., a Maryland
corporation, provided, however, that any assignee of Buyer shall assume all of
the obligations of Buyer hereunder. In the event of any permitted assignment
hereunder Buyer shall thereupon be relieved of all further liability under this
Agreement; except that the Earnest Money Deposit shall not be released or
otherwise adversely affected as a result of any such assignment. Seller shall
not have the right to assign its rights and obligations hereunder. Subject to
the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of Seller and Buyer and their respective successors and assigns.

     (b) Captions. The several headings and captions of the Sections and
subsections used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall in no
way be deemed to limit, define or restrict the substantive provisions of this
Agreement.

     (c) Entire Agreement; Recording. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement of Buyer and Seller with respect to the purchase and sale of the
Premises, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement with respect
thereto. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be binding upon
the parties unless made in writing and signed by both Seller and Buyer. Neither
this Agreement nor any Memorandum thereof shall be recorded by any party and, if
recorded by any party, the other party hereto may immediately terminate all of
its obligations under this Agreement.

     (d) Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance
of all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Agreement.

<PAGE>

     (e) Cooperation. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully with each other to
carry out effectively the purchase and sale of the Premises in accordance
herewith and the satisfaction and compliance with all of the conditions and
requirements set forth herein, and shall execute such instruments and perform
such acts as may be reasonably requested by either party hereto.

     (f) Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws and customs of
the State in which the Premises are located.

     (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts each
of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

     (h) Attorneys' Fees. In the event any party to this Agreement should bring
suit against the other party in respect to any matters provided for herein, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party its
costs of court, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees. As used herein,
the "prevailing party" shall include, without limitation, any party who
dismisses an action for recovery hereunder in exchange for payment of the sums
allegedly due, performance of covenants allegedly breached or consideration
substantially equal to the relief sought in the action.

     (i) Certain References. As used in this Agreement, the words "hereof,"
"herein," "hereunder" and words of similar import shall mean and refer to this
entire Agreement and not to any particular article, section or paragraph of this
Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

     (j) Time Periods. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all periods
for performance, approval, delivery or review and the like shall be determined
on a "calendar" day basis. If any day for performance, approval, delivery or
review shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the time therefor
shall be extended to the next business day.

<PAGE>

     (k) Authority. Each person executing this Agreement, by his or her
execution hereof, represents and warrants that they are fully authorized to do
so, and that no further action or consent on the part of the party for whom they
are acting is required to the effectiveness and enforceability of this Agreement
against such party following such execution.

     (l) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement should be held to be
invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

     (m) Waiver. One or more waivers of any covenant, term or condition of this
Agreement by either party shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by
either party to or of any act by the other party requiring such consent or
approval shall not be deemed to waiver or render unnecessary consent to or
approval of any subsequent similar act.

     (n) Relationship of the Parties. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the
relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture
between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that no provision
contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create
the relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of
seller and buyer.

     (o) Termination. This Agreement shall be void and of no force and effect
unless signed by Seller and delivered to Buyer no later than five (5) days
following the date of Buyer's execution of this Agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Real Estate
Purchase and Sale Contract on the date first above written.
