FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ENCLAVES OF EAGLE NEST LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “undersigned”), hereby promises to pay to the order of ORION BANK, its successors and/or assigns (the “holder”), at P.O. Box 413040, Naples, Florida 34101-3040, or at such other place as the holder hereof may, from time-to-time, designate in writing, the principal sum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($2,500,000.00), or so much thereof as shall have been disbursed hereunder, together with interest thereon at the rate set forth below, computed on the daily outstanding principal balance of the loan, such principal and interest being payable in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts at the time of payment as follows:

1.          Terms of Repayment. This Note shall be repaid as follows:  Eleven (11) monthly installments of all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable from the undersigned to holder, with the first such installment due and payable February 18, 2006, and continuing on the same day of each successive month thereafter. A final payment of the entire outstanding principal balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable on January 18, 2007 (the “Maturity Date”). This Note shall be disbursed as a non-revolving line of credit.

2.          Interest Rate. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at a variable per annum rate equal to the National Prime Lending Rate in effect from time to time as published in the Money Rates Section of the Wall Street Journal plus one percent (Prime Rate + 1.0%), adjusted daily in accordance with fluctuations in said Prime Rate. In the event said Prime Rate shall cease to be so published, holder shall select a comparable rate to use as the Prime Rate hereunder, as determined by holder in its discretion. Said Prime Rate is a base or index rate and may or may not at any time be the best or lowest interest rate offered by holder to its customers. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a daily amount of interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance
during a three hundred sixty (360) day year multiplied by the actual number of days the principal is outstanding during such applicable interest period.

3.          Interest Reserve. An interest reserve (the “Interest Reserve”) shall be established by holder from the Note proceeds in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) for the payment of interest due under this Note. Said Interest Reserve shall be withheld by holder and advanced by holder as the Note proceeds to pay such interest by recording on the holder’s records receipt of an amount equal to the interest to be paid from the Note proceeds and simultaneously recording on the holder’s records the disbursement of an amount of Note proceeds equal to the amount of interest receipted; provided however, upon the occurrence of an event of default or any event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an event of
default, the holder may refuse (and shall not be obligated) to disburse the Note proceeds for payment of interest on this Note from the Interest Reserve. In the event holder determines at any time that the funds in the Interest Reserve are not sufficient to pay all interest to come due under this Note, the undersigned shall on demand deposit with holder as additional Interest Reserve such amount as determined by holder to make up the deficiency. Further, if at any time there are insufficient funds in the Interest Reserve to pay an interest installment, the undersigned shall pay such installment from its own funds.

4.          Use of Proceeds; Advances. Proceeds of this Note shall be used by Borrower solely to refinance the existing indebtedness encumbering the real property securing this Note, and fund soft costs for future development of such real property as are approved by holder in its discretion. 

5.          Right of Prepayment and Prepayment Penalty. Prepayments may be made on this Note at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty.

6.          Application of Payments. All payments shall apply to accrued interest, to any other sums that may be due the holder under the terms of this Note or the Mortgage securing this Note or any other instrument securing this Note, and to the principal of this Note in such order as the holder may elect, in its sole discretion.

7.          Default. In case of default in the payment of any installment of principal or interest on the date due hereunder, the legal holder hereof may declare the entire debt then remaining unpaid immediately due and payable, or in case of default in the performance of any of the covenants or agreements contained in the Mortgage Deed securing this Note, or any other instruments securing this Note, then at any time thereafter during default, the legal holder thereof may, after written notice of default to maker, if written notice is required by the said instruments securing this Note, declare the entire debt then remaining unpaid immediately due and payable; and in any such event of default and acceleration, the undersigned maker shall also be obligated to pay as part of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note,
all costs of collection, including any reasonable attorney’s fees that may be incurred in the collection and enforcement hereof, including such fees as may be incurred on appeal.

8.          Default Interest Rate. Interest at the maximum lawful rate per annum shall be payable on the entire principal balance owing from and after the occurrence of any default, irrespective of a declaration of maturity, after written notice to the undersigned of such default.

9.          Late Penalty Charge. Without waiving the rights contained in Paragraph 7 of this Note or the rights contained in the Mortgage securing this Note and in addition to such default interest charges contained in Paragraph 8 of this Note and in the Mortgage securing this Note, in the event any payment due on this Note is not paid within ten (10) days of the due date, the holder may charge a late penalty in an amount of five percent (5%) of the late payment.

10.        Interest Charge. The total charge for interest, and in the nature of interest, for the loan transaction contemplated hereby, as evidenced herein, in the event of the acceleration hereof or otherwise, shall not exceed the maximum amount allowed by law, and any excess portion of such charges that may have been prepaid shall be refunded to the undersigned. Such refunding may be made by application of the amount involved as a credit against the sums then due hereunder, but such crediting shall not cure or waive any default.

11.        Waivers. Each and every party to this Note, whether as maker, endorser, surety, guarantor or otherwise, hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, and notice of dishonor and of protest and assents to the terms hereof and to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence. It is further specifically agreed that this Note or any part of the principal or interest due herein may, with the consent of the holder of this Note, be renewed from time-to-time by the Note holder at the request of the then owner of all or part of the security affected by the said Mortgage or at the request of any party bound hereon or who has assumed or may hereafter assume payment hereof without the consent of or notice

LOAN AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement dated January 18, 2006, is made by and between ENCLAVES OF EAGLE NEST LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Borrower”) and ORION BANK, including its successors and assigns (“Bank”).

WITNESSETH:

That for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the mutual promises herein made, Bank and Borrower, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I - THE LOAN

Section 1.1            Bank hereby agrees to lend to Borrower, and Borrower hereby agrees to borrow from Bank, upon the terms and conditions, set forth in this Agreement, the principal sum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($2,500,000.00) (the “Loan”). Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loan and the interest thereon shall be evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. The Loan shall be disbursed as a non-revolving line of credit.

Section 1.2            Borrower agrees to pay interest on the Loan at the rate(s), on the date(s), and calculated by the method, set forth in the Note.

Section 1.3            Borrower shall make to Bank such payments of principal and interest on the Loan as are required by the terms of the Note.

Section 1.4            The Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time, without penalty.

ARTICLE II - COLLATERAL

Section 2.1            The repayment by Borrower of its indebtedness under the Loan and the Note, and the performance by Borrower of all obligations under this Agreement, shall be secured by every mortgage and every security agreement (every “Separate Agreement”) which secures obligations so defined as to include the Loan or the Note, and by all property of Borrower in, or coming into, the possession, control or custody of Bank, or in which Bank has or hereafter acquires a lien, security interest, or other right, including, without limitation, the real property described on Exhibit ”A” attached hereto, together with all buildings, improvements, fixtures, building materials, lumber, appliances, furniture, furnishings, supplies, inventory, equipment and other personal property of any kind, now or
hereafter existing thereon on in connection therewith, and all rents, issues, leases, and profits now or hereafter existing in connection therewith (individually and collectively the “Collateral”).

Section 2.2            Borrower shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, such documents relating to the Collateral as Bank may from time to time request.

Section 2.3            Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Note to the contrary, in no event shall the outstanding principal balance of the Note at any time exceed fifty five percent (55%) of the appraised fair market value of the real property described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto, as determined by Bank. Bank may obtain, at Borrower’s expense, additional appraisals of the real property from time to time prepared by a licensed Florida appraiser acceptable to Bank,

substantiating compliance with the loan to value limitation set forth above. If any such appraisal shows the outstanding principal Loan balance to exceed fifty five percent (55%) of the appraised fair market value of the real property, Borrower shall on demand pay down the principal balance of the Loan to bring the Loan into compliance with the loan to value limitation set forth above.

ARTICLE III - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
