         TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and conveyed Property unto and to

         PROVIDED ALWAYS, and these presents are upon the express condition,
that if (i) all the Liabilities, including without limitation, all termination
payments and any other amounts due under or in connection with any swap
agreements secured hereunder, are paid in full, (ii) each and every
representation, warranty, agreement and covenant of this Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents are complied with and abided by, and (iii) any swap agreements
secured hereunder have matured or been terminated, then this Mortgage and the
estate hereby created shall cease and be null and void and canceled of record.

         The terms of the Loan Documents are hereby made a part of this Mortgage
to the same extent and with the same effect as if fully set forth herein. All
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed
to them in the Loan Documents.

         AND Mortgagor covenants and agrees with and represents to Mortgagee as
follows:

1. FUTURE ADVANCES; PROTECTION OF PROPERTY. This Mortgage shall secure any
additional loans as well as any and all present or future advances and
readvances under the Liabilities made by Mortgagee to or for the benefit of
Mortgagor or the Property within twenty (20) years from the date hereof (whether
such advance are obligatory or made at the option of Bank or otherwise),
including, without limitation: (i) principal, interest, late charges, fees and
other amounts due under the Liabilities or this Mortgage; (ii) after an Event of
Default, all advances made or costs incurred by Mortgagee for the payment of
real estate taxes, assessments or other governmental charges, maintenance
charges, insurance premiums, appraisal charges, environmental inspection, audit,
testing or compliance costs, and costs incurred by Mortgagee for the enforcement
and protection of the Property or the lien of this Mortgage; and (iii) all legal
fees, costs and other expenses incurred by Mortgagee by reason of any default or
otherwise in connection with the Liabilities permitted by the Loan Documents.
The total amount of the Liabilities that may be so secured may decrease to a
zero amount from time to time, or may increase from time to time, but the total
unpaid balance secured at any one time shall not exceed Twenty Million Nine
Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($20,950,000.00). Mortgagor agrees
that if, at any time during the term of this Mortgage or following a foreclosure
hereof (whether before or after the entry of a judgment of foreclosure),
Mortgagor fails to perform or observe any covenant or obligation under this
Mortgage including, without limitation, payment of any of the foregoing,
Mortgagee may (but shall not be obligated to) take such steps as are reasonably
necessary to remedy any such nonperformance or nonobservance and provide payment
thereof. All amounts advanced by Mortgagee shall be added to the amount secured
by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents (and, if advanced after the entry
of a judgment of foreclosure, by such judgment of foreclosure), and shall be due
and payable on demand, together with interest at the Default Rate set forth in
the Note, such interest to be calculated from the date of such advance to the
date of repayment thereof.

2. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.


                                       3
<PAGE>


         2.1 PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. Mortgagor shall (a) pay to Mortgagee all
sums required to be paid by Mortgagor under the Loan Documents, in accordance
with their stated terms and conditions; (b) perform and comply with all terms,
conditions and covenants set forth in each of the Loan Documents by which
Mortgagor is bound; and (c) perform and comply with all of Mortgagor's
obligations and duties as landlord under any Leases.

         2.2 SEISIN AND WARRANTY. Mortgagor hereby warrants that (a) Mortgagor
is seized of an indefeasible estate in fee simple in, and warrants the title to,
the Real Estate; (b) Mortgagor has the right, full power and lawful authority to
mortgage, grant, convey and assign the same to Mortgagee in the manner and form
set forth herein, subject to the permitted exceptions on the title commitment
and policy provided to Mortgagee for the Loan; and (c) this Mortgage is a valid
and enforceable first lien on the Property, subject to the permitted exceptions
on the title commitment and policy provided to Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby
covenants that Mortgagor shall (a) preserve such title and the validity and
priority of the lien of this Mortgage and shall forever warrant and defend the
same to Mortgagee against all lawful claims whatsoever; and (b) execute,
acknowledge and deliver all such further documents or assurances as may at any
time hereafter be required by Mortgagee to protect fully the lien of this
Mortgage.

         2.3 INSURANCE. (a) Mortgagor shall obtain and maintain at all times
throughout the term of this Mortgage comprehensive general public liability
insurance covering all operations of Mortgagor in an amount of not less than One
Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) against claims and liability for
bodily injury or property damage to persons or property occurring on the
Property.

                  (b) Each insurance policy required under this Section shall:
(i) be written by an insurance company authorized or licensed to do business in
the state within which the Property is located having an Alfred M. Best Company,
Inc. rating of "A-" or higher and a financial size category of not less than IX;
(ii) be for terms of a least one year, with premium prepaid; (iii) be subject to
the reasonable approval of Mortgagee as to insurance companies, amounts,
content, forms of policies and expiration dates; and (iv) name Mortgagee, its
successors and assigns: (1) as an additional insured under all liability
insurance policies, and (2) as the first mortgagee, under a standard
non-contributory mortgagee clause, on all property insurance policies and all
loss of rents or loss of business income insurance policies.

                  (c) Mortgagor further agrees that each insurance policy: (i)
shall provide at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Mortgagee prior
to any policy reduction or cancellation for any reason; (ii) shall contain an
endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable to
Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or
negligence of Mortgagor which might otherwise result in forfeiture of such
insurance; (iii) shall waive all rights of setoff, counterclaim, deduction or
subrogation against Mortgagor; and (iv) shall exclude Mortgagee from the
operation of any coinsurance clause.

                  (d) At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any
insurance policy, Mortgagor shall furnish evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee
that such policy has been renewed or replaced or is no longer required.

                  (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Mortgagor
fails to maintain insurance in accordance with this Section 2.3., and Mortgagee
elects to obtain insurance to protect its interests hereunder, Mortgagee may
obtain insurance set forth above as Mortgagee deems appropriate to protect
Mortgagee's interest only and Mortgagee shall have no duty or obligation to
Mortgagor to maintain insurance in any greater amount or of any other type for
the benefit of Mortgagor. All insurance premiums incurred or paid by Mortgagee
shall be at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense in accordance with Section 1
hereof. Mortgagee's election to obtain insurance shall not be deemed to waive
any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) hereunder.

         2.4 TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES. Mortgagor shall promptly pay and discharge
all taxes, assessments (including, without limitation, community development
district assessments), water and sewer rents, and other governmental charges
imposed upon the Property when due, but in no event after interest or penalties
commence to accrue thereon or become a lien upon the Property. Notwithstanding



                                       4
<PAGE>

the foregoing, Mortgagor shall have the right to contest, at its own expense, by
appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence,
the amount or validity of such taxes, assessments, water and sewer rents, or
other governmental charges, PROVIDED that: (a) Mortgagor has established on its
books or by deposit of cash with Mortgagee, at the option of Mortgagee, a
reserve for the payment thereof in such amount as Mortgagee may require; and (b)
such contest operates to prevent collection, stay any proceedings which may be
instituted to enforce payment of such item, and prevent a sale of the Property
to pay such item. Mortgagor shall promptly provide to Mortgagee, upon request,
copies of receipted tax bills, canceled checks or other evidence satisfactory to
Mortgagee evidencing that such taxes, assessments, water and sewer rents, and
other governmental charges have been timely paid. Mortgagor shall not claim or
demand or be entitled to any credit on account of the Liabilities for any part
of the taxes paid with respect to the Property or any part thereof and no
deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the taxable value of the
Property, or any part thereof, by reason of this Mortgage.

         2.5 ESCROWS. After an Event of Default, if required by Mortgagee,
Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee at the time of each installment of principal
and interest due under the Note, and commencing with the first payment due after
the date of such request, a sum equal to (a) the amount of the next installment
of taxes and assessments levied or assessed against the Property, and/or (b) the
premiums which will next become due on the insurance policies required by this
Mortgage, all in amounts as estimated by Mortgagee, less all sums already paid
therefor or deposited with Mortgagee for the payment thereof, divided by the
number of payments to become due before one (1) month prior to the date when
such taxes and assessments and/or premiums, as applicable, will become due, such
sums to be held by Mortgagee to pay the same when due. If such escrow funds are
not sufficient to pay such taxes and assessments and/or insurance premiums, as
applicable, as the same become due, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, upon
request, such additional amounts as Mortgagee shall estimate to be sufficient to
make up any deficiency. No amount paid to Mortgagee hereunder shall be deemed to
be trust funds but may be commingled with general funds of Mortgagee and no
interest shall be payable thereon. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Mortgagee shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to apply any amounts so
held against the Liabilities.

         2.6 TRANSFER OF TITLE. Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee
in each instance, Mortgagor shall not cause or permit any transfer of the
Property or any part thereof, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation
of law, nor shall Mortgagor transfer the Property. A "TRANSFER" of the Property
includes: (a) the direct or indirect sale, transfer or conveyance of the
Property or any portion thereof or interest therein; (b) the execution of an
installment sale contract or similar instrument affecting all or any portion of
the Property; (c) if Mortgagor, or any general partner or member of Mortgagor,
is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business
entity, the transfer (whether in one transaction or a series of transactions) of
any stock, partnership, limited liability company or other ownership interests
in such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or entity except to
entities controlled by Bank Atlantic BanCorp., directly or indirectly; (d) if
Mortgagor, or any general partner or member of Mortgagor, is a corporation, the
creation or issuance of new stock by which an aggregate of more than 10% of such
corporation's stock shall be vested in a party or parties who are not now
stockholders except to entities controlled by Bank Atlantic BanCorp. directly or
indirectly; and (e) an agreement by Mortgagor leasing all or a substantial part
of the Property for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder or
a sale, assignment or other transfer of or the grant of a security interest in
and to any Leases. Mortgagor shall be allowed to convert either or both entities
comprising Mortgagor form a corporation to a limited liability company, so long
as the existing shareholders of such entity(s) at the time of conversion become
the sole members of the new company. Mortgagor may enter into agreements to sell
portions of the Property provided such portions of the Property are released
from the lien of this Mortgage at the time of the closing of such sale.

         2.7 NO ENCUMBRANCES. Mortgagor shall not create or permit to exist any
mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest (including, without limitation, a
purchase money security interest), encumbrance, attachment, levy, distraint or
other judicial process on or against the Property or any part thereof
(including, without limitation, fixtures and other personalty), whether superior
or inferior to the lien of this Mortgage, without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee. Mortgagee consents to those certain liens and encumbrances identified
in SCHEDULE B attached hereto and incorporated herein. If any lien or



                                       5
<PAGE>

encumbrance is filed or entered without Mortgagor's consent, Mortgagor shall
have it removed of record within fifteen (15) days after it is filed or entered.

         2.8 REMOVAL OF FIXTURES. Mortgagor shall not remove or permit to be
removed from the Property any fixtures presently or in the future owned by
Mortgagor as the term "fixtures" is defined by the law of the state where the
Property is located (unless such fixtures have been replaced with similar
fixtures of equal or greater utility and value).

         2.9 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR; ALTERATIONS. (a) Mortgagor shall (i)
abstain from and not permit the commission of waste in or about the Property;
(ii) keep the Property, at Mortgagor's own cost and expense, in good and
substantial repair, working order and condition; and (iii) make or cause to be
made, as and when necessary, all repairs and replacements, whether or not
insurance proceeds are available therefor. All alterations, replacements,
renewals or additions made pursuant hereto shall automatically become a part of
the Property and shall be covered by the lien of this Mortgage. The parties
recognize the Real Estate is vacant but Mortgagor shall be entitled to perform
subdivision improvements thereon in accordance with applicable requirements of
Purchase Contracts previously approved by Mortgagee.

                  (b) Mortgagee, and any persons authorized by Mortgagee, shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the Property at any
reasonable time to inspect and photograph its condition and state of repair. In
the event any such inspection reveals, in the sole discretion of Mortgagee, the
necessity for any clean-up or maintenance to avoid waste or violation of law,
Mortgagor shall, at the discretion of Mortgagee, either: (i) cause such work to
be effected immediately; or (ii) promptly establish an interest bearing reserve
fund with Mortgagee in an amount determined by Mortgagee for the purpose of
effecting such work.

         2.10 COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS. Mortgagor agrees to observe,
conform and comply, and to cause its tenants to observe, conform and comply with
all federal, state, county, municipal and other governmental or
quasi-governmental laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, requirements,
covenants, conditions, orders, licenses, permits, approvals and restrictions,
including without limitation, Environmental Laws (as defined below) and the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (collectively, the "LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS"), now or hereafter affecting all or any part of the Property, its
occupancy or the business or operations now or hereafter conducted thereon and
the personalty contained therein, within such time as required by such Legal
Requirements. Mortgagor represents and warrants that it has caused the Property
to be designed, and the Property currently is, in compliance with all Legal
Requirements applicable to the Property.

         2.11 DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION. (a) If all or any part of
the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, or if title to or the temporary use
of the whole or any part of the Property shall be taken or condemned by a
competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, there shall
be no abatement or reduction in the amounts payable by Mortgagor under the Loan
Documents and Mortgagor shall continue to be obligated to make such payments.

                  (b) If all or any part of the Property is partially or totally
damaged or destroyed, Mortgagor shall give prompt notice thereof to Mortgagee,
and Mortgagee may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Mortgagor.
Mortgagor hereby authorizes and directs any affected insurance company to make
payment under such insurance, including return of unearned premiums, to
Mortgagee instead of to Mortgagor and Mortgagee jointly, and Mortgagor appoints
Mortgagee as Mortgagor's attorney-in-fact to endorse any draft thereof, which
appointment, being for security, is coupled with an interest and irrevocable.
Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered by Mortgagor to settle, adjust or
compromise, in consultation with Mortgagor, any claims for loss, damage or
destruction to the Property. Mortgagor shall pay all costs of collection of
insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage or destruction. Mortgagor
shall have no claim against the insurance proceeds, or be entitled to any
portion thereof, and all rights to the insurance proceeds are hereby assigned to
Mortgagee as security for payment of the Liabilities. Mortgagee shall have the
option, in its sole discretion, of paying or applying all or any part of the
insurance proceeds to: (i) reduction of the Liabilities; (ii) restoration,


                                       6
<PAGE>

replacement or repair of the Property in accordance with Mortgagee's standard
construction loan disbursement conditions and requirements; or (iii) Mortgagor.

                  (c) Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of
any proceeding for the condemnation of all or any part of the Property,
Mortgagor shall give notice to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall, at its sole cost and
expense, diligently prosecute any such proceeding and shall consult with
Mortgagee, its attorneys and experts, and shall cooperate with it in the defense
of any such proceeding. Mortgagee may participate in any such proceeding and
Mortgagor shall from time to time deliver to Mortgagee all instruments requested
by it to permit such participation. Mortgagor shall not, without Mortgagee's
prior written consent, enter into any agreement (i) for the taking or conveyance
in lieu thereof of all or any part of the Property, or (ii) to compromise,
settle or adjust any such proceeding. All awards and proceeds of condemnation
are hereby assigned to Mortgagee, and Mortgagor, upon request by Mortgagee,
agrees to make, execute and deliver any additional assignments or documents
necessary from time to time to enable Mortgagee to collect the same. Such awards
and proceeds shall be paid or applied by Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, to:
(i) reduction of the Liabilities; (ii) restoration, replacement or repair of the
Property in accordance with Mortgagee's standard construction loan disbursement
conditions and requirements; or (iii) Mortgagor.

                  (d) Nothing herein shall relieve Mortgagor of its duty to
repair, restore, rebuild or replace the Property following damage or destruction
or partial condemnation if no or inadequate insurance proceeds or condemnation
awards are available to defray the cost of repair, restoration, rebuilding or
replacement.

         2.12 REQUIRED NOTICES. Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee within three
(3) days of: (a) receipt of any notice from any governmental or
quasi-governmental authority relating to the structure, use or occupancy of the
Property or alleging a violation of any Legal Requirement; (b) a substantial
change in the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property; (c) receipt
of any notice from the holder of any lien or security interest in all or any

Property; (f) a fire or other casualty causing damage to all or any part of the
Property; (g) receipt of any notice with regard to any Release of Hazardous

request for information, demand letter or notification of potential liability
from any entity relating to potential responsibility for investigation or
clean-up of Hazardous Substances on the Property or at any other site owned or
operated by Mortgagor; (i) receipt of any notice from any tenant of all or any
part of the Property alleging a default, failure to perform or any right to
terminate its lease or to set-off rents; or (j) receipt of any notice of the
imposition of, or of threatened or actual execution on, any lien on or security
interest in all or any part of the Property.

         2.13 BOOKS AND RECORDS; INSPECTION. Mortgagor shall keep and maintain
(a) complete and accurate books and records, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied, reflecting all items of

have conducted by an independent appraiser acceptable to Mortgagee appraisals of
the Property in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee at the sole cost
and expense of Mortgagor; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Mortgagor shall not be
obligated to bear the expense of such appraisals so long as (a) no Event of
Default exists, and (b) such appraisals are not required by applicable law, rule
or regulation of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over Mortgagee
and Mortgagor shall not be obligated to pay for appraisals more frequently than
one a year unless required by applicable law or by governmental agencies having
regulatory authority over Mortgage or if an Event of Default exists under this


                                       7
<PAGE>

Mortgage. All such appraisal costs and fees shall be paid by Mortgagor upon
demand by Mortgagee. The cost of such appraisals, if chargeable to Mortgagor as
aforesaid, shall be added to the Liabilities and shall be secured by this
Mortgage in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 hereof.

         2.15 OWNERSHIP OF MORTGAGOR. Mortgagor, at all times during the term of
the Note, shall be owned and controlled by entities that are majority owned
directly or indirectly by Bank Atlantic BanCorp.

3. SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement under the
Code and shall be deemed to constitute a fixture financing statement. Mortgagor
hereby grants to Mortgagee a security interest in the personal and other
property (other than real property) included in the Property (to the extent
transferable), and all replacements of, substitutions for, and additions to,
such property, and the proceeds thereof. Mortgagor shall, at Mortgagor's own
expense, execute, deliver, file and refile any financing or continuation
statements or other security agreements Mortgagee may require from time to time
to perfect, confirm or maintain the lien of this Mortgage with respect to such
property. A photocopy of an executed financing statement shall be effective as
an original. Without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably
appoints Mortgagee attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor to execute, deliver and file
such instruments for or on behalf of Mortgagor at Mortgagor's expense, which
appointment, being for security, is coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable.

4. ASSIGNMENT OF SALES CONTRACTS, DOWN PAYMENTS, LEASES, RENTS, PROFITS,
PERMITS, DEPOSITS, APPROVALS, LICENSES, WARRANTIES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS **

         4.1 Mortgagor hereby absolutely, presently and unconditionally conveys,
transfers and assigns to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor's right, title and interest,
now existing or hereafter arising, in and to the Leases and Rents.
Notwithstanding that this assignment is effective immediately, so long as no
Event of Default exists, Mortgagor shall have the privilege under a revocable
license granted hereby to operate and manage the Property and to collect, as
they become due, but not prior to accrual, the Rents. Mortgagor shall receive
and hold such Rents in trust as a fund to be applied, and Mortgagor hereby
covenants and agrees that such Rents shall be so applied, first to the
operation, maintenance and repair of the Property and the payment of interest,
principal and other sums becoming due under the Liabilities, before retaining
and/or disbursing any part of the Rents for any other purpose. The license
herein granted to Mortgagor shall automatically, without notice or any other
action by Mortgagee, terminate upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and
all Rents subsequently collected or received by Mortgagor shall be held in trust
by Mortgagor for the sole and exclusive benefit of Mortgagee. Nothing contained
in this Section 4.1, and no collection by Mortgagee of Rents, shall be construed
as imposing on Mortgagee any of the obligations of the lessor under the Leases.

         4.2 Mortgagor shall timely perform all of its obligations under the
Leases. Mortgagor represents and warrants that: (a) Mortgagor has title to and
full right to assign presently, absolutely and unconditionally the Leases and
Rents; (b) no other assignment of any interest in any of the Leases or Rents has
been made; (c) there are no leases or agreements to lease all or any portion of
the Property now in effect except the Leases, true and complete copies of which
have been furnished to Mortgagee, and no written or oral modifications have been
made thereto; (d) there is no existing default by Mortgagor or by any tenant
under any of the Leases, nor has any event occurred which due to the passage of
time, the giving or failure to give notice, or both, would constitute a default
under any of the Leases and, to the best of Mortgagor's knowledge, no tenant has
any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims against Mortgagor; (e) the Leases are in
full force and effect; and (f) Mortgagor has not accepted Rent under any Lease
more than thirty (30) days in advance of its accrual, and payment thereof has
not otherwise been forgiven, discounted or compromised.

         4.3 Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee: (a) enter into any lease of all or any portion of the Property; (b)
amend, modify, terminate or accept a surrender of any Lease; or (c) collect or
accept rent from any tenant of the Property for a period of more than one month
in advance. Any of the foregoing acts, if done without the prior written consent
of Assignee in each instance, shall be null and void.



                                       8
<PAGE>

5. DECLARATION OF NO OFFSET. Mortgagor represents to Mortgagee that Mortgagor
has no knowledge of any offsets, counterclaims or defenses to the Liabilities
either at law or in equity. Mortgagor shall, within three (3) days upon request
in person or within seven (7) days upon request by mail, furnish to Mortgagee or
Mortgagee's designee a written statement in form satisfactory to Mortgagee
stating the amount due under the Liabilities and whether there are offsets or
defenses against the same, and if so, the nature and extent thereof.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.

         6.1 DEFINITIONS. As used herein, "ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS" shall mean all
existing or future federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, regulations,
rules, executive orders, standards and requirements, including the requirements
imposed by common law, concerning or relating to industrial hygiene and the
protection of health and the environment including but not limited to: (a) those
relating to the generation, manufacture, storage, transportation, disposal,
release, emission or discharge of Hazardous Substances (as hereinafter defined);
(b) those in connection with the construction, fuel supply, power generation and
transmission, waste disposal or any other operations or processes relating to
the Property; and (c) those relating to the atmosphere, soil, surface and ground
water, wetlands, stream sediments and vegetation on, under, in or about the
Property. Any terms mentioned herein which are defined in any Environmental Law
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in said laws; provided, however,
that if any of such laws are amended so as to broaden any term defined therein,
such broader meaning shall apply subsequent to the effective date of such
amendment.

         6.2 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. Mortgagor represents,
warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:

                  (a) Neither Mortgagor nor the Property or any occupant thereof
is in violation of or subject to any existing, pending or threatened
investigation or inquiry by any governmental authority pertaining to any
Environmental Law. Mortgagor shall not cause or permit the Property to be in
violation of, or do anything which would subject the Property to any remedial
obligations under, any Environmental Law, and shall promptly notify Mortgagee in
writing of any existing, pending or threatened investigation or inquiry by any
governmental authority in connection with any Environmental Law. In addition,
Mortgagor shall provide Mortgagee with copies of any and all material written
communications with any governmental authority in connection with any
Environmental Law, concurrently with Mortgagor's giving or receiving of same.

                  (b) To the best of Mortgagor's knowledge, the Mortgagor
believes Mortgagor has taken all steps necessary to determine and has determined
that there has been no release, spill, discharge, leak, disposal or emission
(individually a "RELEASE" and collectively, "RELEASES") of any Hazardous
Material, Hazardous Substance or Hazardous Waste, including gasoline, petroleum
products, explosives, toxic substances, solid wastes and radioactive materials
(collectively, "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES") at, upon, under or within the Property.
The use which Mortgagor or any other occupant of the Property makes or intends
to make of the Property will not result in Release of any Hazardous Substances
on or to the Property. During the term of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall take
all steps necessary to determine whether there has been a Release of any
Hazardous Substances on or to the Property and if Mortgagor finds a Release has
occurred, Mortgagor shall remove or remediate the same promptly upon discovery
at its sole cost and expense.

                  (c) The Property has never been used by the present or
previous owners and/or operators nor will be used in the future to refine,
produce, store, handle, transfer, process, transport, generate, manufacture,
heat, treat, recycle or dispose of Hazardous Substances.

                  (d) The Property: (i) is being and has been operated in
compliance with all Environmental Laws, and all permits required thereunder have
been obtained and complied with in all respects; and (ii) does not have any
Hazardous Substances present excepting small quantities of petroleum and
chemical products, in proper storage containers, that are necessary for the


                                       9
<PAGE>


construction or operation of the commercial business of Mortgagor and its
tenants, and the usual waste products therefrom ("PERMITTED SUBSTANCES").

                  (e) Mortgagor will and will cause its tenants to operate the
Property in compliance with all Environmental Laws and, other than Permitted
Substances, will not place or permit to be placed any Hazardous Substances on
the Property.

                  (f) No lien has been attached to or threatened to be imposed
upon the Property, and there is no basis for the imposition of any such lien
based on any governmental action under Environmental Laws. Neither Mortgagor nor
any other person has been, is or will be involved in operations at the Property
which could lead to the imposition of environmental liability on Mortgagor, or
on any subsequent or former owner of the Property, or the creation of an
environmental lien on the Property. In the event that any such lien is filed,
Mortgagor shall, within (30) days from the date that the Mortgagor is given
notice of such lien (or within such shorter period of time as is appropriate in
the event that steps have commenced to have the Property sold), either: (i) pay
the claim and remove the lien from the Property; or (ii) furnish a cash deposit,
bond or other security satisfactory in form and substance to Mortgagee in an
amount sufficient to discharge the claim out of which the lien arises.

         6.3 RIGHT TO INSPECT AND CURE. Mortgagee shall have the right to
conduct or have conducted by its agents or contractors such environmental
inspections, audits and tests as Mortgagee shall deem necessary or advisable
from time to time at the sole cost and expense of Mortgagor; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that Mortgagor shall not be obligated to bear the expense of such environmental
inspections, audits and tests so long as (a) no Event of Default exists, and (b)
Mortgagee has no cause to believe in its sole reasonable judgment that there has
been a Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances at the Property or
that Mortgagor or the Property is in violation of any Environmental Law. The
cost of such inspections, audits and tests, if chargeable to Mortgagor as
aforesaid, shall be added to the Liabilities and shall be secured by this
Mortgage. Mortgagor shall, and shall cause each tenant of the Property to,
cooperate with such inspection efforts; such cooperation shall include, without
limitation, supplying all information requested concerning the operations
conducted and Hazardous Substances located at the Property. In the event that
Mortgagor fails to comply with any Environmental Law, Mortgagee may, in addition
to any of its other remedies under this Mortgage, cause the Property to be in
compliance with such laws and the cost of such compliance shall be added to the
sums secured by this Mortgage in accordance with the provisions of Section 1
hereof.

7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute a default (each, an
"EVENT OF DEFAULT") hereunder:

         7.1 Non-payment when due of any sum required to be paid to Mortgagee
under any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, principal and
interest not cured within five (5) days of the date when due;

         7.2 A breach of any covenant contained in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7,
2.12 or 2.15 hereof not cured within ten (10) days within notice from Mortgagee
to Mortgagor;

         7.3 A breach by Mortgagor of any other term, covenant, condition,
obligation or agreement under this Mortgage, and the continuance of such breach
for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof shall have been
given to Mortgagor; provided that if the nature of such breach is such that it
cannot reasonably be cured within such time, then if Mortgagor commences such
cure within such fifteen (15) day period and proceeds diligently to complete
such cure, then such cure period shall be extended up to sixty (60) days to
complete such cure.;

         7.4 An Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents;

         7.5 Any representation or warranty made by Mortgagor or by any
Guarantor in any Loan Document or to induce Mortgagee to enter into the
transactions contemplated hereunder shall prove to be false, incorrect or
misleading in any material respect as of the date when made;



                                       10
<PAGE>


         7.6 The filing by or against Mortgagor or any Guarantor of a petition
seeking relief, or the granting of relief, under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or
any similar federal or state statute; any assignment for the benefit of
creditors made by Mortgagor or any Guarantor; the appointment of a custodian,
receiver, liquidator or trustee for Mortgagor or any Guarantor or for any of the
property of Mortgagor or such Guarantor, or any action by Mortgagor or any
Guarantor to effect any of the foregoing; or if Mortgagor or any Guarantor
becomes insolvent (however defined) or is not paying its debts generally as they
become due;

         7.7 The death, dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or
reorganization of Mortgagor (except as may be provided otherwise in Section 2.6
hereof, or the institution of any proceeding to effect any of the foregoing;

         7.8 A default under any other obligation by Mortgagor or any Guarantor
in favor of Mortgagee, including obligations arising under swap agreements (as
defined in 11 U.S.C. ss. 101), or under any document securing or evidencing such
obligation, whether or not such obligation is secured by the Property;

         7.9 A default under any other obligation secured by the Property or any
part thereof.

8. REMEDIES. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Mortgagee may take any of the following actions:

         8.1 ACCELERATION. Mortgagee may declare the entire amount of the
Liabilities immediately due and payable, without further presentment, demand,
notice of any kind, protest or notice of protest, all of which are expressly
waived, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan
Documents. Mortgagee may charge and collect interest from the date of default
until cured on the unpaid balance of the Liabilities, at the Default Rate set
forth in the Note. In addition, any and all accelerations of any portion of the
remaining principal balance of the Liabilities (including, without limitation,
foreclosure by Mortgagee under this Mortgage) shall be subject to the Prepayment
Consideration (as defined and described in the Note), if any.

         8.2 POSSESSION. Mortgagee may enter upon and take possession of the
Property, with or without legal action, lease the Property, collect therefrom
all rentals and, after deducting all costs of collection and administration
expense, apply the net rentals to any one or more of the following items in such
manner and in such order of priority as Mortgagee, in Mortgagee's sole
discretion, may elect: the payment of any sums due under any prior lien, taxes,
water and sewer rents, charges and claims, insurance premiums and all other
carrying charges, to the maintenance, repair or restoration of the Property, or
on account of the Liabilities. Mortgagee is given full authority to do any act
which Mortgagor could do in connection with the management and operation of the
Property. This covenant is effective either with or without any action brought
to foreclose this Mortgage and without applying for a receiver of such rents. In
addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagor
shall pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee or to any receiver appointed to
collect said rents the fair and reasonable rental value for Mortgagor's use and
occupation of the Property, and upon default in any such payment Mortgagor shall
vacate and surrender the possession of the Property to Mortgagee or to such
receiver. If Mortgagor does not vacate and surrender the Property then Mortgagor
may be evicted by summary proceedings.

         8.3 FORECLOSURE. Mortgagee may institute any one or more actions of
mortgage foreclosure against all or any part of the Property, or take such other
action at law, equity or by contract for the enforcement of this Mortgage and
realization on the security herein or elsewhere provided for, as the law may
allow, and may proceed therein to final judgment and execution for the entire
unpaid balance of the Liabilities. The unpaid balance of any judgment shall bear
interest at the greater of (a) the statutory rate provided for judgments, or (b)
the Default Rate. Without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagee may foreclose this
Mortgage and exercise its rights as a secured party for all or any portion of
the Liabilities which are then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien
of this Mortgage for the balance not then due and payable. In case of any sale


                                       11
<PAGE>

of the Property by judicial proceedings, the Property may be sold in one parcel
or in such parcels, manner or order as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may
elect. Mortgagor, for itself and anyone claiming by, through or under it, hereby
agrees that Mortgagee shall in no manner, in law or in equity, be limited,
except as herein provided, in the exercise of its rights in the Property or in
any other security hereunder or otherwise appertaining to the Liabilities or any
other obligation secured by this Mortgage, whether by any statute, rule or
precedent which may otherwise require said security to be marshalled in any
manner and Mortgagor, for itself and others as aforesaid, hereby expressly
waives and releases any right to or benefit thereof. The failure to make any
tenant a defendant to a foreclosure proceeding shall not be asserted by
Mortgagor as a defense in any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the
Liabilities or any deficiency remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the
Property.

         8.4 APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. Mortgagee may petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a receiver of the Property. Such appointment
may be made either before or after sale, without notice, without regard to the
solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor at the time of application for such
receiver, without regard to the then value of the Property or whether the
Property shall be then occupied as a homestead or not, and without regard to
whether Mortgagor has committed waste or allowed deterioration of the Property,
and Mortgagee or any agent of Mortgagee may be appointed as such receiver.
Mortgagor hereby agrees that Mortgagee has a special interest in the Property
and absent the appointment of such receiver the Property shall suffer waste and
deterioration and Mortgagor further agrees that it shall not contest the
appointment of a receiver and hereby so stipulates to such appointment pursuant
to this paragraph. Such receiver shall have the power to perform all of the acts
permitted Mortgagee pursuant to Section 8.2 above and such other powers which
may be necessary or customary in such cases for the protection, possession,
control, management and operation of the Property during such period.

         8.5 RIGHTS AS A SECURED PARTY. Mortgagee shall have, in addition to
other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, the rights and remedies
of a secured party under the Code. Mortgagee may elect to foreclose such of the
Property as then comprise fixtures pursuant either to the law applicable to
foreclosure of an interest in real estate or to that applicable to personal
property under the Code. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the
right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or
hereafter in effect.

         8.6 EXCESS MONIES. Mortgagee may apply on account of the Liabilities
any unexpended monies still retained by Mortgagee that were paid by Mortgagor to
Mortgagee: (a) for the payment of, or as security for the payment of taxes,
assessments or other governmental charges, insurance premiums, or any other
charges; or (b) to secure the performance of some act by Mortgagor.

         8.7 OTHER REMEDIES. Mortgagee shall have the right, from time to time,
to bring an appropriate action to recover any sums required to be paid by
Mortgagor under the terms of this Mortgage, as they become due, without regard
to whether or not any other Liabilities shall be due, and without prejudice to
the right of Mortgagee thereafter to bring an action of mortgage foreclosure, or
any other action, for any default by Mortgagor existing at the time the earlier
action was commenced. In addition, Mortgagee shall have the right to set-off all
or any part of any amount due by Mortgagor to Mortgagee under any of the
Liabilities, against any indebtedness, liabilities or obligations owing by
Mortgagee in any capacity to Mortgagor, including any obligation to disburse to
Mortgagor any funds or other property on deposit with or otherwise in the
possession, control or custody of Mortgagee.

9. MORTGAGE RELEASES. Provided no Event of Default exists under this Mortgage,
Mortgagor shall release portions of the Property from the lien and encumbrance
of this Mortgage upon payment to Mortgagee of release prices as provided in
Schedule C attached hereto and incorporated herein (the "RELEASE PRICE(S)").
Mortgagee's counsel shall prepare the form of Partial Release. All reasonable
costs associated with any releases for work performed to accommodate Borrowers'
release requests, including, but not limited to, recording costs and Mortgagee's
attorney's fees (which fee shall be $150 for each Partial Release) shall be paid
by Mortgagor.

10. MISCELLANEOUS.



                                       12
<PAGE>

         10.1 NOTICES. All notices and communications under this Mortgage shall
be in writing and shall be given by either (a) hand-delivery, (b) first class
mail (postage prepaid), or (c) reliable overnight commercial courier (charges
prepaid), to the addresses listed in this Mortgage. Notice shall be deemed to
have been given and received: (a) if by hand delivery, upon delivery; (b) if by
mail, three (3) calendar days after the date first deposited in the United
States mail; and (c) if by overnight courier, on the date scheduled for
delivery. A party may change its address by giving written notice to the other
party as specified herein.

         10.2 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies of Mortgagee as
provided in this Mortgage or in any other Loan Document shall be cumulative and
concurrent, may be pursued separately, successively or together, may be
exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and shall be in addition to
any other rights or remedies conferred upon Mortgagee at law or in equity. The
failure, at any one or more times, of Mortgagee to assert the right to declare
the Liabilities due, grant any extension of time for payment of the Liabilities,
take other or additional security for the payment thereof, release any security,
change any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or waive or fail to exercise any
right or remedy under any Loan Document shall not in any way affect this
Mortgage or the rights of Mortgagee.

         10.3 NO IMPLIED WAIVER. Mortgagee and Mortgagor shall not be deemed to
have modified or waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such
modification or waiver is in writing and signed by Mortgagee or Mortgagor, as
applicable, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver
in one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a waiver of or bar to
such right or remedy on a subsequent event.

         10.4 PARTIAL INVALIDITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one
or more provisions of this Mortgage shall not render any other provision invalid
or unenforceable. In lieu of any invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall
be added automatically a valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to
such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

         10.5 BINDING EFFECT. The covenants, conditions, waivers, releases and
agreements contained in this Mortgage shall bind, and the benefits thereof shall
inure to, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns and are intended and shall be held to be
real covenants running with the land; provided, however, that this Mortgage
cannot be assigned by Mortgagor without the prior written consent of Mortgagee,
and any such assignment or attempted assignment by Mortgagor shall be void and
of no effect with respect to Mortgagee.

         10.6 MODIFICATIONS. This Mortgage may not be supplemented, extended,
modified or terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is
sought.

         10.7 COMMERCIAL LOAN. Mortgagor represents and warrants that the loans
or other financial accommodations included as Liabilities secured by this
Mortgage were obtained solely for the purpose of carrying on or acquiring a
business or commercial investment and not for residential, consumer or household
purposes.

         10.8 GOVERNING LAW. This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Florida without reference
to conflict of laws principles.

         10.9 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If Mortgagor consists of more than
one person or entity, the word "Mortgagor" shall mean each of them and their
liability shall be joint and several.

         10.10 NON-MERGER. In the event Mortgagee shall acquire title to the
Property by conveyance from Mortgagor or as a result of foreclosure, this
Mortgage shall not merge in the fee estate of the Property but shall remain and
continue as an existing and enforceable lien for the Liabilities secured hereby
until the same shall be released of record by Mortgagee in writing.



                                       13
<PAGE>


         10.11 JOINDERS AND CONSENTS. Mortgagee agrees, upon request of
Mortgagor, to join in any plat for the Real Estate and any utility easements or
licenses, and to consent to any homeowner association documents or declarations,
development agreements or similar instruments affecting the Real Estate and
needed by the Mortgagor in connection with the development of the Real Estate as
contemplated by the Loan Documents, at no cost or liability to Mortgagee, except
for the cost of review of such documentation by Mortgagor's attorney which shall
be payable by Mortgagor, for the sole purpose of subjecting the lien of this
Mortgage to the effects of such instruments, provided that such instruments are
in form and substance acceptable to Mortgagee in Mortgagee's sole and absolute
discretion reasonably exercised. All homeowner association documents or
declarations, development agreements or similar instruments affecting the Real
Estate shall contain customary provisions subordinating the lien and encumbrance
of any assessments or other charges provided for thereunder to the lien of this
Mortgage. Mortgagee shall have no obligation to join in or consent to any such
documents if doing so would materially diminish the value of the Property or
require Mortgagee to directly assume any of Mortgagor's obligations under such
instruments.
