NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006

(in thousands) (unaudited)

1.   Innisbrook Resort Ownership and Operations

GTA-IB, LLC (the “Company”) is a single member limited liability company owned by GTA-IB Golf Resort, LLC, which in turn is 100 percent owned by Golf Trust of America, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). There is no established market for the Company’s membership interests. Golf Trust of America, Inc. (“GTA”) holds a 100 percent interest in the Operating Partnership. GTA GP, Inc. is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owns a 0.2 percent interest therein. GTA LP, Inc. is a limited partner in the Operating Partnership and owns a 99.8 percent interest therein.  Golf Host Resorts, Inc. (“GHR”), an entity affiliated with Starwood Capital Group LLC, is the former owner of the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club (the “Resort”) and the former borrower under a $79,000 participating mortgage loan funded by the Operating Partnership. This participating mortgage loan was secured by the Resort, cash, undeveloped land at the Resort and 368,365 shares of GTA’s common stock. The Resort is a 72-hole destination golf and conference facility located near Tampa, Florida.

The Company entered into a Settlement Agreement dated July 15, 2004 (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the Operating Partnership and GHR, Golf Hosts, Inc., Golf Host Management, Inc., Golf Host Condominium, Inc. and Golf Host Condominium, LLC. The Settlement Agreement resolved a number of issues between the parties, including GHR’s default under the participating mortgage loan made by the Operating Partnership to GHR in June 1997. As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Company took ownership of the Resort on July 15, 2004. In connection with the Settlement Agreement, the Company entered into a management agreement (the “Westin Management Agreement”) with Westin Management Company South (“Westin”), which provided for Westin’s management of the Resort, and Westin and Troon Golf L.L.C. (“Troon”) entered into a facility management agreement (the “Troon Management Agreement”) providing for Troon’s management of the golf facilities at the Resort.  The current status of the Westin Management Agreement with Westin and the Troon Management Agreement with Troon are discussed below in Notes 5 and 9.

In connection with the Settlement Agreement, the Company assumed control and operation of the rental pool lease operations at the Resort (the “Rental Pool”).  The Rental Pool was operated and controlled by GHR prior to that time. On a year-to-year basis, approximately 500 of the 938 condominium units at the Resort were leased by the Company from the condominium owners and used as hotel accommodations for the Resort pursuant to rental pool lease arrangements. The Company was the lessee under these rental pool lease operation agreements.  Those agreements provided that the Company would distribute a percentage of room revenues to participating condominium owners who permitted the Company to lease their units as hotel accommodations.

The Operating Partnership had previously entered into an agreement with GHR and the prospective purchaser of a parcel of undeveloped land within the Resort, referred to herein as “Parcel F”. This agreement, referred to herein as the “Parcel F Development Agreement”, was executed on March 29, 2004 and amended on August 10, 2005 to add the Company as a party. The Parcel F Development Agreement includes the terms and conditions pursuant to which Parcel F may be developed, and includes restrictions on GHR, the owner of Parcel F, which are designed to avoid interference with the ongoing operations of the Resort.  The Parcel F Development Agreement also contains provisions which the Company believes will increase the Operating Partnership’s ability to better manage the location of the access road for Parcel F.  Our interests in Parcel F were not transferred with the sale of the Resort as described in Note 9, Subsequent Events.

Going Concern

As of June 30, 2007, the Resort had a working capital deficit of approximately $9,688.  Due to the Company’s limited cash resources, the Company was viewed as having substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  However, since the sale of the Resort was concluded on July 16, 2007, the liquidity and going concern issues were resolved.  See Note 9, Subsequent Events, for further discussion.

2.   Basis of Presentation

The settlement described in Note 1 above, pursuant to which the Company took title to the Resort, was accounted for using methods consistent with purchase accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the Company, with the assistance of its then independent financial advisor, recorded the tangible and identified intangible assets of the Resort at their respective fair values. The long-term liabilities of the Resort were stated at their fair value based on net present value calculations.

Principles of Combination

The financial statements and footnotes reflect the combined financial results of the Company, GTA-IB Condominium, LLC and GTA-IB Management, LLC. These legal entities are all wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. GTA-IB Condominium, LLC held the title to three condominium units at the Resort that participate in the Rental Pool.  GTA-IB Management, LLC is the entity that employed substantially all of the employees working at the Resort. There are no other operations of GTA-IB Condominium, LLC and GTA-IB Management, LLC. The Company held title to the Resort and is the entity in which all of the Resort operations were recorded. All intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in combination.

Interim Statements

The accompanying condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with (a) accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and (b) the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements have not been audited by an independent registered accounting firm; however, they include adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the judgment of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year. In particular, it is important to note that the Company’s business is seasonal.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been omitted as allowed in quarterly reports by the rules of the SEC. Management believes that the disclosures included in the accompanying interim financial statements and footnotes are adequate to make the information not misleading, but also believes that these statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to the combined financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, filed on April 2, 2007.

Other assets include the Company’s interest in the net proceeds from the sale of Parcel F.  The value of our primary other asset, Parcel F, was reduced from $2,200, which was the derived value at July 15, 2004, to $1,490 due to the fact that $710 of this value was transferred to GTA pursuant to the terms of the amended agreement with the owner of Parcel F.  Also included in other assets are certain design fees for the refurbishment program, utility deposits and club member initiation fees. The Company had a contractual right to be reimbursed for these design fees by the Rental Pool participants in the form of a deduction from the quarterly Rental Pool refurbishment payments.  Utility deposits remained on account and were refundable to the Company upon the sale of the Resort.  The club initiation fees are paid by the club members quarterly, but in no event greater that two years from the date of membership activation.  The amount of initiation fees listed below represent the payments due greater than one year from the respective balance sheet dates.

On April 10, 2007, the Company and certain of its affiliates entered into a Business Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Patriot Bank, a community bank, to borrow, on a non-revolving basis, up to a principal amount of $1,200 (the “Loan”).  The Loan was secured by a first priority mortgage on three wholly-owned condominium units located at the Resort.  On April 12, 2007, the Company borrowed, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, approximately $20 to pay the closing costs related to the Loan.  Subject to compliance with the Loan Agreement, the Company had the right to draw down the remainder of the principal amount available under the Loan Agreement over time to finance renovations of the Company’s restaurants, information technology infrastructure upgrades at the Resort, other property improvements at the Resort and short-term working capital shortfalls of the Company or the Resort.

The Loan bore interest at the floating Wall Street Journal Prime rate and provided for interest only payments through December 31, 2007.  Beginning with the monthly payment due on January 31, 2008, the Loan Agreement required principal and interest payments based on a twenty year amortization schedule.  There was no prepayment penalty for early repayment.

Among other terms, the Loan Agreement contained representations, warranties and covenants of the Company with respect to matters such as ownership of the condominium units serving as collateral, the future delivery of reports to the lender, the absence of defaults by the Company under other agreements and compliance with applicable laws and government regulations.

As of June 30, 2007, the amount outstanding against this Loan was approximately $320.  See Note 9, Subsequent Events, for further discussion.

Westin Management Company South and Troon Golf L.L.C.

The Westin Management Agreement between the Company and Westin provided that Westin would manage the Resort for a fee equal to 2.2% of the Resort’s gross revenue. Contemporaneously with the signing of the Westin Management Agreement in July 2004, Westin entered into a management contract with Troon pursuant to which Troon was to manage the golf facilities of the Resort for a fee payable by the Company equal to 2% of the Resort’s gross golf revenue.  The Company paid monthly management fees to Westin and Troon. By mutual agreement, on September 28, 2006, the Company, Westin and GTA, as guarantor, entered into a Termination and Release Agreement (the “Westin Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company, GTA and Westin agreed to terminate the Westin Management Agreement as of October 31, 2006.  In addition to the termination of the Westin Management Agreement, the Westin Termination Agreement provided that (a) on or prior to October 3, 2006, the Company or GTA would deposit $600 in the Resort’s operating account (which GTA did) to be used in part to pay to Westin certain unpaid fees and charges which have accrued under the Westin Management Agreement, (b) on or prior to the earlier of March 31, 2008, or any sale of the Resort by the Company and GTA, the Company would pay to Westin the termination fee of approximately $5,594, and (c) Westin would permit the Company and GTA to continue to access Westin’s “SAP” accounting system for the operation of the Resort until March 31, 2007 (which they did) for a total charge of $6.  The Company and Westin agreed to reduce the termination fee to approximately $5,403, contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Resort, as described in the Company’s Form 8-K filing dated June 29, 2007.  Subsequent to the termination of the Westin Management Agreement, the Company and GTA had been managing the Resort operations internally.    See Note 9, Subsequent Events, for further discussion.

Troon Supplemental Fee

The July 15, 2004 Troon Management Agreement between Westin and Troon, which the Company assumed as a result of the Westin termination, provided for the payment of a supplemental fee to Troon, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in that agreement, of $800.  The Company had until November 30, 2006 to decide whether to assume or terminate the management agreement with Troon for Troon to continue to manage the golf facilities of the Resort.   The Company and Troon agreed to extend the Troon Management Agreement for ten-day incremental periods subsequent to November 30, 2006.  On February 22, 2007, the Company sent Troon a notice of termination regarding the Troon Management Agreement.   See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, and Note 9, Subsequent Events, for further discussion.

Master Lease Refurbishment Obligation

On July 16, 2004, the Company recorded a liability of $4,532 for the refurbishment program (the “Refurbishment Program”) pursuant to the master lease agreement (“MLA”) of the Rental Pool.  This liability represented the Company’s obligation to pay to the various participants in the Rental Pool an amount equal to 50% of the cost to refurbish their respective units, and was recorded at the then net present value (calculated at a discount rate of 15%) of the total principal payments of $7,273.  Principal and interest payments were due quarterly over the repayment period of the program, beginning with the first quarter of 2005 and ending with the fourth quarter of 2009. Interest on this liability accrued at a rate of 5% and was paid quarterly. Amortization of the discount was to be charged to interest expense ratably over the period from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2009.

In addition, the Company agreed to provide a refurbishment reimbursement to the respective condominium owners for units placed into the Rental Pool during 2005.  The owners of these units were to be paid 25% of their refurbishment investment, with interest at 2.5% per annum.  The owners of these units received interest and would have received principal payments beginning in 2008 and ending in 2012 for total principal payments of approximately $108.

The amortization charged to interest expense was $153 and $180 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Amortization expense charged to interest expense was $314 and $357 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.  The net present value of this liability is $3,854 and $4,254 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, of which $1,636 and $1,424, respectively, is included in current liabilities (see Note 5, Current Liabilities, for further discussion).

The corresponding benefit to the Resort from the Refurbishment Program was included in the valuation of the Rental Pool intangible asset, which was being amortized over the term of the MLA that expires in 2011. Minimum undiscounted unpaid principal payments on the Refurbishment Program at June 30, 2007 are as follows:

The Company’s obligation to reimburse the Rental Pool participants for their refurbishment expenses was contingent on the units remaining in the Rental Pool from the time of their refurbishment through 2009. If the unit did not remain in the Rental Pool during the reimbursement periods discussed above, the owner or successor owner would forfeit any unpaid installments at the time the unit was removed from the Rental Pool.

See Note 9, Subsequent Events, for further discussion.

Property Tax Lawsuit

The Company has filed lawsuits against the property appraiser of Pinellas County, Florida to challenge the 2004, 2005 and 2006 real estate assessment on the Resort property. Pinellas County filed a motion to dismiss, which was denied by the court. Discovery is in process and no trial date has been set. If Pinellas County were to prevail, management believes that there would be no material adverse effect upon our financial statements, as the entire Pinellas County assessment is fully accrued and accounted for at June 30, 2007.  See Note 9, Subsequent Events, for further discussion.

Wall Springs Conservatory, Inc. Complaint

On July 13, 2006, Wall Springs Conservatory, Inc. (“Wall Springs”) filed suit against the Company, as successor in interest to GHR, in the circuit court of Pinellas County for declaratory relief regarding interpretation of certain contractual language defining which party has the authority to assign and allocate club memberships.  Wall Springs is the developer of the Highlands of Innisbrook, a single family residential community adjacent to the Resort.  The agreement with GHR included a provision for the sale of up to 52 discounted full golf memberships of the Resort.  The Company and the developer are in disagreement as to which party has the right to control the ultimate assignment of the 52 memberships.  On July 14, 2006, Wall Springs also filed suit against us in the small claims division of the Pinellas County Court in connection with an easement agreement.  The Company answered both claims, also asserting affirmative defenses and counterclaims in each action.  The Company then filed a motion to transfer the small claims matter to Circuit Court, which was granted on September 27, 2006.  The Company then moved to consolidate these two cases.  Our motion to consolidate was granted by the Circuit Court on March 1, 2007.  At this time, the Company is unable to assess the likely outcome of this litigation.  The parties have begun the discovery process, but no trial date has been set by the Court.

Environmental Remediation

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) conducted a site inspection at the Resort on June 24, 2003. The Resort was found to have improperly disposed of waste paint and solvents and failed to properly store waste lamps and used oil and oil filters in properly labeled containers. The predecessor owner entered into a Consent Order wherein the DEP agreed to a reduced civil penalty of $22, and allowed the predecessor owner to offset 80% of this reduced civil penalty with credits obtained through the implementation of a pollution control project and a process of ongoing self-monitoring and reporting of environmental conditions to the DEP. The DEP determined that an above ground self-contained storage tank system at the Resort qualifies for this credit. The Resort installed the system and, on an ongoing basis, continues to monitor the environmental conditions at the Resort and to report these conditions to the DEP. As part of the ongoing self-monitoring and reporting process, the Resort engaged a third party, URS Corporation, to develop a Site Assessment Report and monitor the environmental conditions noted in the DEP Consent Order.  The final formal proposal from URS Corporation was received on April 6, 2007 and was subsequently approved by the DEP.  The actual cost for the remediation was approximately $59.  URS Corporation completed the work in May 2007.  This amount is accrued as of June 30, 2007.  Additional testing will be completed. If tests remain favorable, this should conclude the process. Obligations with respect to this matter were assumed by Salamander in connection with the sale of the Resort.

9.  Subsequent Events

GTA announced on June 25, 2007, that the Company and certain of its affiliated entities entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Salamander Innisbrook Securities, LLC, Salamander Innisbrook Condominium, LLC , and Salamander Innisbrook, LLC (collectively, “Salamander”) providing for the acquisition by Salamander of the business (the “Business”) of the Resort, certain related assets and liabilities and the Company’s equity interest in Golf Host Securities, Inc.  The sale of the Resort was completed on July 16, 2007 and, in addition to the assumption of certain liabilities relating to the Resort and the Business, Salamander paid to GTA $35,000 in cash plus $4,000 to be used to settle certain obligations, subject to certain adjustments.

On July 16, 2007, GTA, the Company, the Operating Partnership, GTA-IB Golf Resort, LLC, GTA-IB Condominium, LLC and GTA-IB Management, LLC completed the sale of the Business of the Resort and all of GTA-IB Golf Resort, LLC’s equity interest in Golf Host Securities, Inc. to Salamander pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 25, 2007.  The purchase price received by the Company from Salamander was approximately $35,000 in cash, plus (a) $4,000 to be used to settle certain obligations, and (b) the assumption of certain liabilities.  The purchase price is subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments, as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.  The Asset Purchase Agreement also provided for a holdback for accounts receivable and a $2,000 escrow for GTA’s and the Company’s indemnification liabilities.

As part of the sale of the Business, Salamander has assumed operation and control of the Rental Pool.  The Rental Pool obligated the Company to make quarterly distributions of a percentage of room revenues to participating owners under MLA.  The MLA also entitled participating owners to 50% reimbursement of the refurbishment costs of their units.  In addition to reimbursement by Salamander of such obligations since January 1, 2007 in the amount of $844,498, obligations in connection with the Refurbishment Program, along with all other obligations under the MLA, were assumed

14




by Salamander upon the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement.  Also, all capital and operating lease obligations of the Resort were assumed by Salamander upon the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

On July 13, 2007, the Company and Troon entered into a Facilities Management Agreement Termination Agreement (the “Troon Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which the Troon Management Agreement was terminated.  The Troon Termination Agreement also provided for the payment to Troon of $177 in accrued and unpaid fees and reimbursable expenses and the supplemental fee of $800 contemporaneous with the sale of the Resort.

Also contemporaneously with the closing of the sale of the Resort, (a) all outstanding accrued and unpaid amounts were paid to Pinellas County for property taxes, in the approximate amount of $343, (b) the renegotiated Westin termination fee of $5,403, as described in Note 5 above, was paid to Westin, (c) the supplemental fee of $800 was paid to Troon, and (d) the Patriot Bank loan was repaid and cancelled.  With regard to the property taxes, the Company intends to continue to pursue the respective lawsuits to recover these amounts from the Pinellas County.  See Notes 5, Current Liabilities, and 8, Commitments and Contingencies, for further discussion.

Parcel F, which is owned by GHR, remains under contract for sale.  Pursuant to the sale agreement, the sale is expected to close on or about August 31, 2007.

INNISBROOK RENTAL POOL LEASE OPERATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006

(in thousands)(unaudited)

1.             Rental Pool Lease Operations

Organization and Operations

The Company is a single member limited liability company, wholly owned by GTA-IB Golf Resort, LLC. GTA-IB Golf Resort, LLC is itself a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. There is no established market for the Company’s membership interests. The preceding condensed financial statements of the Rental Pool and the Resort are for the periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.  The Rental Pool consists of condominiums at the Resort which are leased by the Company from their owners and used as hotel accommodations for the Resort.

Historically, the predecessor owner, GHR, and the Company have offered several different programs to the condominium owners who are eligible to participate in the Rental Pool (the “Rental Pool Participants”). Effective January 1, 2002, GHR offered a new Master Lease Agreement (“NMLA”) which permitted all Rental Pool Participants the opportunity to convert to the NMLA from any prior agreement they were participating in at that time.  In addition, the NMLA provides that on an annual basis each Rental Pool Participant may elect to participate in the Rental Pool for the following year by signing an Annual Lease Agreement (“ALA”). Any Rental Pool Participant who does not sign the ALA is not permitted to participate in the Rental Pool for the following year.  Under the NMLA, 40% of the Adjusted Gross Revenues, as defined in the NMLA, are distributed to the Rental Pool Participants and the remaining 60% is retained by the Company.

The Rental Pool condensed financial statements consist of the Distribution Fund and the Maintenance Escrow Fund as defined in the NMLA.

The Distribution Fund accounts for the sharing of the Rental Pool Participants’ portion of Adjusted Gross Revenues in accordance with the NMLA.

The Maintenance Escrow Fund accounts for amounts set aside in accordance with the NMLA for the ongoing maintenance of the condominium units participating in the Rental Pool.

The Condensed Statements of Operations reflects the aggregate Rental Pool Participants’ earnings as a result of participating in the Rental Pool. In accordance with the NMLA, the Company and the Rental Pool Participants share Adjusted Gross Revenues.  Adjusted Gross Revenues are defined in the NMLA as gross room revenues from the units participating in the Rental Pool, less certain defined costs.

In addition, GHR agreed in the NMLA to reimburse the Rental Pool Participants who were originally participating in the NMLA an amount up to 50% of the actual unit refurbishment costs, plus interest at a rate of 5% per annum on such amounts, beginning in 2002.  For newly refurbished units entering the Rental Pool during 2005, the Company agreed to reimburse the Rental Pool Participants who entered the rental pool pursuant to the NMLA an amount up to 25% of the actual unit refurbishment costs, plus interest at a rate of 2.5% per annum, beginning in 2005.  The obligation to reimburse the refurbishment costs and pay interest thereon applies only if certain minimum participation thresholds are maintained. The Company assumed the obligations of GHR under the NMLA and subsequent ALA’s, or, collectively, the Agreements.

Maintenance Escrow Fund Accounts

The NMLA generally provides that 90% of the occupancy fees earned by each Rental Pool Participant are ultimately deposited in that Rental Pool Participant’s Maintenance Escrow Fund account. This account provides funds for payment of amounts that are due from Rental Pool Participants under the Agreements for maintenance and refurbishment services for or related to their condominium units. In the event that a Rental Pool Participant’s balance falls below the amount necessary to provide adequate funds for maintenance and replacements, the Rental Pool Participant is required to restore the escrow

20




balance to a defined minimum level. The NMLA requires that specific fund balances must be maintained, by unit type, size and age of refurbishment, as defined in the applicable Agreement. Under the NMLA, a percentage of the occupancy fees are deposited into the carpet care reserve in the Maintenance Escrow Fund.  The portion of the Maintenance Escrow Fund representing the carpet care reserve is expected to be used to pay the expense of carpet cleaning for all Rental Pool Participants. This percentage is estimated to provide the amount necessary to fund carpet cleaning expenses and may be adjusted annually through mutual agreement of the Company and the participants. The amounts expended for carpet care were approximately $7, $5, $14 and $12 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Lessors’ Advisory Committee (“LAC”), subject to the restrictions contained in the Agreements, invests the Maintenance Escrow Fund on behalf of the Rental Pool Participants. The LAC consists of nine Rental Pool Participants who are elected to advise the Company on Rental Pool matters and to negotiate amendments to the lease agreement, the ALA’s, and the NMLA. Income earned on the investments of the Maintenance Escrow Fund is allocated proportionately to the respective Maintenance Escrow Fund accounts of the Rental Pool Participants and paid quarterly through the Distribution Fund.   At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Maintenance Escrow Fund held certificates of deposit of $1,900 and $1,900, respectively, with maturity terms ranging from six months to twelve months and bearing interest at rates from 5.0% to 5.2% at June 30, 2007.  At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.

Going Concern

The continuation and success of the Rental Pool is contingent upon the continuation of the operations of the Resort. In turn, the success of the Resort’s operations is contingent upon the continued participation of condominium owners in the Rental Pool. The Company reported a loss from operations of approximately $1,394 and net income of approximately $357 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively; however, the impact of seasonality on the Resort’s operations and the projections of the Resort’s cash flow through the end of 2007 raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  However, since the sale of the Resort was concluded on July 16, 2007, the liquidity and going concern issues related to the Company were resolved, as more fully described in Note 9, Subsequent Events, to the Condensed Combined Financial Statements of the Company above.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We were formed on December 30, 2002 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GTA-IB Golf Resort, LLC, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership.  The Operating Partnership is the operating partnership of GTA. GHR is the former unaffiliated owner of the Resort and the former borrower who defaulted under a $79,000 participating mortgage loan funded by the Operating Partnership in June 1997.

We and the Operating Partnership entered into a Settlement Agreement, dated July 15, 2004, with GHR, Golf Hosts, Inc., Golf Host Management, Inc., Golf Host Condominium, Inc. and Golf Host Condominium, LLC. The Settlement Agreement resolved a number of issues between the parties, including GHR’s default under the $79,000 loan made by the Operating Partnership to GHR in June 1997. As part of the Settlement Agreement, we took ownership of the Resort effective at the close of business on July 15, 2004. Also, in connection with the Settlement Agreement, we entered into the Westin Management Agreement providing for Westin’s management of the Resort, which was terminated on October 31, 2006.  In addition, Westin and Troon entered into the Troon Management Agreement setting forth the terms of Troon’s management of the golf facilities at the Resort.  See further discussion in Note 5 to the Condensed Combined Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Operating Partnership had previously entered into an agreement with GHR and the prospective purchaser of Parcel F. The Parcel F Development Agreement was executed on March 29, 2004 and amended on August 10, 2005 to add us as a party.  The Parcel F Development Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Parcel F may be developed and includes restrictions on GHR, as the owner of Parcel F, which are designed to avoid interference with the operations of the Resort.  The Parcel F Development Agreement also contains provisions which we believe will increase the Operating Partnership’s ability to better manage the location of the access road for Parcel F.  See Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings, below, for more information.  Our interests in Parcel F were not transferred with the sale of the Resort described below.

21




On July 16, 2007, GTA, the Company, the Operating Partnership, GTA-IB Golf Resort, LLC, GTA-IB Condominium, LLC and GTA-IB Management, LLC completed the sale of the Business of the Resort and all of GTA-IB Golf Resort, LLC’s equity interest in Golf Host Securities, Inc. to Salamander pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 25, 2007.  The purchase price received by the Company from Salamander was approximately $35,000 in cash, plus (a) $4,000 to be used to settle certain obligations, and (b) the assumption of certain liabilities.  The purchase price is subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments, as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.  The Asset Purchase Agreement also provided for a holdback for accounts receivable and a $2,000 escrow for GTA’s and the Company’s indemnification liabilities.

See further discussion in Note 9 to the Condensed Combined Financial Statements referred to in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations

Because the Resort is a destination golf resort, we believe it appeals to a different market than the market to which stand-alone hotels located in downtown metropolitan areas would appeal. The Resort provides recreation, condominium accommodations and food and beverage dining and catering options to business meeting or group travelers, transient guests who play golf, guests who purchase golf packages and guests who bring their families to the Resort. As a destination golf resort, the Resort’s performance is sensitive to weather conditions and seasonality.

The Resort had lower realized revenue, fewer room nights and fewer golf rounds during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 than during the corresponding periods in 2006. The decrease in realized revenue is directly attributable to the reduction in aggregate room nights, described below, for both the group and transient market sectors.  The decrease in aggregate room nights in the group sector was primarily due to 3,000 room nights that booked in the first quarter of 2006 that the Resort chose to decline for the first quarter of 2007 because it was not profitable business for the Resort.  The balance of the variance was due to groups that are on a regional rotation for their respective meetings.  The Resort was not able to replace these room nights with other group bookings.  Under the Westin Management Agreement, which terminated on October 31, 2006, the Resort had access to the Westin Global Sales Office (the “GSO”), which provided group booking leads to the Resort.  Since the group booking window is typically six to eighteen months out, the Resort was negatively impacted by the loss of the leads historically provided by the GSO, which were not able to be replicated by other lead sources in the short window of time between the termination of the Westin Management Agreement on October 31, 2006 and the peak season of 2007, January through April. Since the termination of the Westin Management Agreement, the Resort management teams had made efforts to replicate the GSO lead source with other independent lead sources but the impact of these efforts was not realized in the short-term.

Transient room nights were also down due to the loss of the Westin central reservations services and other transient booking sources and the benefit of an international marketing campaign that was available when the Resort was under the Westin international hotel chain flag.  As we continued to establish Innisbrook as an independent brand and gain exposure in the internet booking arena, we believed we would realize less of a variance in the room nights in the transient sector.  The Resort did realize an increase in the overall average daily room rate of approximately $8.37, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, from targeting a more profitable type of guest, which helped mitigate some of the revenue lost due to the reduction in both room nights and golf rounds.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, each of the market segments at the Resort discussed below produced a greater aggregate spending level per room night as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.  While overall room nights, meals served and golf rounds played decreased 28.7%, 30.9% and 5.8%, respectively, during the first six months of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006, overall gross revenue per room night increased by $90.66 to $584.77 from $494.11 while per meal revenue increased by $4.47 to $35.10 from $30.63 and gross golf revenue per round played increased by $6.23 to $138.22 from $131.99.  The fluctuation in gross revenue is discussed in further detail below.

The following table shows utilization of the Resort facilities broken down by department, results of operations and selected Rental Pool statistical data during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006.  This information is shown in thousands, except for statistical data such as the utilization data in the table below:

Three Months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, there were 7,387, or 31.5%, fewer occupied room nights as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.  There were 1,826 fewer transient room nights and 5,561 less group room nights during the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.  Group room nights consist of conference room nights, or room nights which are booked and correlate to a meeting or convention at the Resort, and transient room nights are room nights which are booked and do not correlate to a meeting or convention at the Resort.  Transient room nights are often booked within 30 days or less from the date of the visit, while group room nights are typically booked no less

23




than 120 days in advance of the date of a visit.  Larger groups typically book 16 to 18 months in advance of a stay.  Transient room nights are often booked as part of golf packages and Internet bookings, among others.  Management believes that the decrease in the room nights, as described in the introductory paragraph above, is attributable to the change in lead and reservation channels from the Westin central reservation system and their international marketing programs and other sources available through Westin to independent lead and reservation channels.  This type of change takes time to re-establish the Innisbrook name as an independent brand and gain appropriate exposure in the Internet and Media market separate from the Westin identity.  In addition, the Resort staff continued to learn how to maximize the reservation channels available to it as an independent property.

Total revenue for the Resort was $1,604 less during the three months ended June 30, 2007 than in the same period of 2006. An overall increase in spending by the Resort’s guests helped to mitigate the reduction in gross revenue that resulted from the lower number of room nights and decreases in banquet and catering sales in three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to same period of 2006.  During the same periods, the average room rate decreased by $0.21 per room night from $147.04 in 2006 to $146.83 in 2007.  Gross revenue per room night during the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $539.89, as compared to $438.08 for the same period in 2006.

The most significant decrease in revenues at the Resort during the three months ended June 30, 2007 occurred in the Hotel department. Revenues attributable to that category for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by approximately $1,090, or 31.6%, as compared to the same period in 2006. Hotel revenue decreased primarily because of the decrease in aggregate room nights noted above.  Food and Beverage revenues decreased by approximately $481, or 17.9%, as a result of 25,490, or 26.4%, fewer meals being served, also referred to as covers, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.   This aggregate decrease in covers served was primarily attributable to the Resort’s banquets, catering and outlets, with a combined decrease of approximately 22,830 covers. Covers attributed to the Resort’s room and pool service decreased by approximately 2,660. While the aggregate number of covers decreased, revenue per cover increased from $27.82 to $31.03.  The combination of decreased number of covers and increased revenue per cover produced the $481 negative variance for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Golf revenue decreased by approximately $59, primarily as a result of 1,052 fewer rounds of golf played during the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.  Gross golf revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 averaged $124.08 per round, as compared to $121.62 per round for the same period in 2006.  The net decrease in aggregate rounds played was attributed to 1,354 fewer rounds played by the Resort’s transient guests, including packages, offset by an aggregate increase of 302 rounds played by Resort members.  The number of total golf rounds played in the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 27,949, compared to 29,001 rounds played in the same period of 2006. Golf revenue does not necessarily increase or decrease exactly in proportion to occupied room nights because golf revenue also includes member dues and fees and day golf group fees, neither of which is directly related or dependent upon occupied room nights.

Consistent with past periods, we continued to monitor total operating expenses in an attempt to ensure that we controlled expenses and that the expenses bore a direct correlation to the room nights, food and beverage covers and golf round demand. Aggregate total operating expenses do not generally increase or decrease on a one-to-one basis with total operating revenue because the Resort must carry a minimum fixed operating staff and other support expenses at all times. In those operating departments where the variable costs can best be managed, we manage these costs consistent with room, food and beverage and golf demand. Total Resort operating expenses, before depreciation and amortization and excluding the Rental Pool amortization in hotel operations, decreased by approximately $1,142, or 10.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.  This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in room nights and food and beverage covers discussed above.

Depreciation and amortization expense, excluding the Rental Pool amortization included in hotel expenses, was approximately $566 and $533 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Interest expense, net of interest income, was approximately $234 and $370 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and reflects amortization of the discount of our Rental Pool refurbishment liability in the amount of $153 and the interest portion of lease payments amounting to approximately $29.  The defaulted participating mortgage loan that was assumed by us from GHR, our unaffiliated borrower, has an outstanding balance at June 30, 2007 of $39,240 and became non-interest bearing upon our assumption on July 15, 2004.

24




Other income of $191 in the three months ended June 30, 2007 represents the recognition of the discount in the termination fee negotiated with Westin in connection with the sale of the Resort, as described above.

The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $1,394, compared to a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2006 of approximately $1,226.

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, approximately $259 was disbursed for capital projects. Of those disbursed funds, $247 was used to pay lease payments on existing and additional equipment consisting of bellman vehicles, golf cart leases, golf course equipment leases, telephone equipment leases and cable leases and the balance was for various capital improvement projects and replacements throughout the Resort.

Six Months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, there were 15,827, or 28.7%, fewer occupied room nights as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.  There were 3,457 fewer transient room nights and 12,370 less group room nights during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Total revenue for the Resort was $4,251 less during the six months ended June 30, 2007 than in the same period of 2006. An overall increase in spending by the Resort’s guests, both for rooms (improved average room rates) and by package guests for food and beverages, helped to mitigate the reduction in gross revenue that resulted from the lower number of room nights and decreases in banquet and catering sales in during six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to same period of 2006.  During the same periods, the average room rate increased by $8.37 per room night from $168.29 in 2006 to $176.66 in 2007.  Gross revenue per room night during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $584.77, as compared to $494.11 for the same period in 2006.

The most significant decrease in revenues at the Resort during the six months ended June 30, 2007 occurred in the Hotel department. Revenues attributable to that category for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by approximately $2,334, or 25.1%, as compared to the same period in 2006. Hotel revenue decreased primarily because of the decrease in aggregate room nights noted above.  Food and Beverage revenues decreased by approximately $1,626, or 20.8%, as a result of 78,866, or 30.9%, fewer covers, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.   This aggregate decrease in covers served was primarily attributable to the Resort’s banquets, catering and restaurant outlets, with a combined decrease of approximately 72,214 covers. Covers attributed to the Resort’s room and pool service decreased by approximately 6,652. While the aggregate number of covers decreased, revenue per cover increased from $30.63 to $35.10.  The combination of decreased number of covers and increased revenue per cover produced the $1,626 negative variance for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Golf revenue decreased by approximately $114, primarily as a result of 3,770 fewer rounds of golf played during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.  Management believes that approximately 1,200 or 31.8% of that reduction in rounds for the six months period resulted from the fact that the PGA tournament was moved from October, during which it has been held annually since 2001, to March beginning in 2007.  As a consequence of the Copperhead course being used by the PGA for the tournament, the Resort was unable to sell its golf packages during the week of the March tournament. March is historically one of its most successful months during the year.  Gross golf revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 averaged $138.22 per round, as compared to $131.99 per round for the same period in 2006.  The net decrease in aggregate rounds played was attributed to 3,936 fewer rounds played by the Resort’s transient guests, including packages, offset by an aggregate increase of 166 rounds played by Resort members.  The number of total golf rounds played in the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 61,510, compared to 65,280 rounds played in the same period of 2006. Golf revenue does not necessarily increase or decrease exactly in proportion to occupied room nights because golf revenue also includes member dues and fees and day golf group fees, neither of which is directly related or dependent upon occupied room nights.

Total Resort operating expenses, before depreciation and amortization and excluding the Rental Pool amortization in hotel operations, decreased by approximately $3,057, or 12.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.  This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in room nights and food and beverage covers discussed above.

25




Depreciation and amortization expense, excluding the Rental Pool amortization included in hotel expenses, was approximately $1,102 and $1,024 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Interest expense, net of interest income, was approximately $494 and $743 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and reflects amortization of the discount of our Rental Pool refurbishment liability in the amount of $314 and the interest portion of lease payments amounting to approximately $49.

Other income of $132 in the six months ended June 30, 2007 represents the accrual of the environmental remediation expense of $59 as more fully discussed in Note 8 to the Condensed Combined Financial Statements in Item 1 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed May 15, 2007, offset by the favorable negotiated reduction in the Westin termination fee of approximately $191.

The net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $357, compared to a net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of approximately $1,248.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, approximately $617 was disbursed for capital projects. Of those disbursed funds, $469 was used to pay lease payments on existing and additional equipment consisting of bellman vehicles, golf cart leases, golf course equipment leases, telephone equipment leases and cable leases and the balance was for various capital improvement projects and replacements throughout the Resort.

Other Matters

On April 25, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Suncoast Charities, Inc. (“Suncoast”), which provides that Suncoast will lease the Copperhead golf course at the Resort for seven and one half days during the month of March for a PGA TOUR event known as the PODS Championship. The agreement with Suncoast provides that the tournament will occur each year in March beginning in March 2007 and ending in March 2012. The agreement also provides, among other things, that we will receive a base fee and that we may receive a participation fee in the event if the aggregate ticket sales during any tournament year exceed 115% of the greater of the 2005 tournament ticket sales or the 2006 tournament ticket sales.  We do not at this time have a final accounting of the ticket override amount from Suncoast Charities for the 2007 event.

Please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, filed on April 2, 2007, for a description of our contractual obligations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared based on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern.  As of June 30, 2007, the Resort had a working capital deficit of approximately $9,688 primarily due to the fact that the renegotiated Westin termination fee of $5,403 and the Troon supplemental fee of $800 were classified as current liabilities. See further discussion in Note 5, Current Liabilities, to the Condensed Combined Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Before this reclassification, the Resort had a working capital deficit of approximately $3,491.  The Resort’s member deficit at June 30, 2007 is $12,994. The Resort reported net income of approximately $357 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.  Since the first six months of the year is the Resort’s highest season, there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  However, since the sale of the Resort was concluded on July 16, 2007, the liquidity and going concern issue is no longer relevant.  See Note 9, Subsequent Events, to the Condensed Combined Financial Statements of the Company above for further discussion

ITEM 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not have significant market risk with respect to foreign currency exchanges or other market rates. Our debt to the Operating Partnership is non-interest bearing and, accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates are not expected to affect financial results.  Since our debt to Patriot Bank was paid off contemporaneous with the closing of the sale of the Resort, we no longer have any interest rate risk related to this loan.

ITEM 4. Controls And Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management assesses the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures based upon the prevailing facts and circumstances, including management’s reasonable judgment of such facts.  Our amended management agreement with Westin provided us with heightened control and access to information; however, prior to October 31, 2006 when we terminated the Westin Management Agreement, we did not directly assemble the financial information for the Resort (although we have taken steps that we deem to be reasonable under the circumstances to seek to verify such financial information) and consequently, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the Resort, while strengthened, were necessarily more limited than those we maintain with respect to our own corporate operations. Since July 15, 2004, we have focused upon integrating operations at the Resort into our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control procedures. In particular, those controls and procedures have been updated to account for the challenges presented by the increased size and scope of our operations once we owned the Resort.  Effective January 1, 2007, we implemented a new general ledger accounting software package (the “GL Software”) at the Resort to replace the former GL Software of which the majority of the financial reports were proprietary to Westin.  Our new GL Software, know as Aptech, was used at the Resort prior to July 15, 2004 when Westin required that the Resort adopt their GL Software.   As a result, the accounting staff was generally familiar with the process and procedures in operating the new GL Software.  We do not currently believe that the change in the GL Software has materially changed or will materially change our internal control over financial reporting or our disclosure controls and procedures.

We have implemented some and continue to work towards implementing various initiatives intended to continue to improve our internal controls and procedures and disclosure controls and procedures.

As of June 30, 2007, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and

27




operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)). Management concluded that as of June 30, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our Exchange Act reports.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of our operations, we are subject to claims and lawsuits. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of such matters will materially impair operations or have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Land Use Lawsuit

On March 29, 2005, the Company filed a Motion to Intervene in the suit titled Innisbrook Condominium Association, Inc., C. Frank Wreath, Meredith P. Sauer, and Mark Banning, Plaintiffs vs. Pinellas County, Florida, Golf Host Resorts, Inc. and Innisbrook F LLC, Defendants, Case No. 043388CI-15. This motion was filed in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit, in and for Pinellas County, Florida, Civil Division and was granted by the Circuit Court.  In this report, the Company refers to this matter as the “Initial Land Use Lawsuit”.   The plaintiffs in the Initial Land Use Lawsuit have filed a multi-count complaint seeking injunctive and declaratory relief with respect to the land use and development rights of Parcel F, which is owned by GHR. The Company filed the Motion to Intervene as a defendant in the Initial Land Use Lawsuit in order to protect its property and its land use and development rights with respect to Parcel F.  On April 26, 2005, Joseph E. Colwell, Marcia G. Colwell, Kirk E. Covert, Deborah A. Covert and the Autumn Woods Homeowner’s Association, Inc. moved to intervene in the Initial Land Use Lawsuit, which the Court subsequently allowed.  On April 8, 2005, a separate suit was filed by James M. and Mary H. Luckey, and Andrew J. and Aphrodite B. McAdams, against Pinellas County, GHR and Bayfair Innisbrook, LLC seeking injunctive and declaratory relief relating to the land use and development rights of Parcel F.  This suit was consolidated with the Initial Land Use Lawsuit.  In this report, the Company refers to this matter as the “Subsequent Land Use Lawsuit” and to the Initial Land Use Lawsuit and the Subsequent Land Use Lawsuit as the “Land Use Lawsuits”.

From December 19 through December 23, 2005, the Court tried these consolidated cases in a non-jury trial. On March 8, 2006, the Court ruled in favor of the defendants on all counts and denied all claims asserted by the plaintiffs in both Land Use Lawsuits. On March 31, 2006, the plaintiffs in the consolidated cases filed a notice of appeal to the Second District Court of Appeal.  The Appeal Court affirmed per curium the Circuit Court judgment in favor of the defendants on February 28, 2007 and denied the plaintiffs-appellants’ motion for attorney fees.   On March 13, 2007, the plaintiffs filed a motion for the Appeal Court to rehear their claims.   On June 12, 2007 the Second District Court of Appeal denied the plaintiffs motion for rehearing.  No further avenues of appeal are available to the plaintiffs.

Wall Springs Conservatory, Inc. Complaint

On July 13, 2006, Wall Springs filed suit against the Company, as successor in interest to GHR, in the circuit court of Pinellas County for declaratory relief regarding the allocation of certain full golf memberships at the Resort On July 14, 2006, Wall Springs also filed suit against us in the small claims division of the Pinellas County Court in connection with an easement agreement.  We answered both claims, also asserting affirmative defenses and counterclaims in each action.  We then filed a motion to transfer the small claims matter to Circuit Court, which was granted on September 27, 2006.  We then moved to consolidate these two cases.  Our motion to consolidate was granted by the Circuit Court on March 1, 2007.  At this time, the Company is unable to assess the likely outcome of this litigation.

Property Tax Lawsuit

We filed lawsuits against the property appraiser of Pinellas County, Florida to challenge the 2004, 2005 and 2006

28




real estate assessment on the Resort property. Pinellas County filed a motion to dismiss, which was denied by the court. No trial date has been set. If Pinellas County were to prevail, management believes that there would be no material adverse effect upon our financial statements, as the entire Pinellas County assessment is fully accrued at June 30, 2007.   See Note 9, Subsequent Events, to the Condensed Combined Financial Statements of the Company above for further discussion.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Due to the sale of the Resort, including the transfer of the operation, control and financial obligations of the Rental Pool, and the contemporaneous payment of (a) all outstanding property tax amounts to Pinellas County, Florida, (b) the Westin termination fee, (c) the Troon supplemental fee, and (d) all outstanding debt under the Patriot Bank loan, the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, filed on April 2, 2007, are no longer applicable to our current circumstances.  As a wholly owned subsidiary with limited assets and operations, our remaining risks primarily relate to our outstanding contractual obligations, mainly in connection with the sale of the Resort, and liability in the event of any claims or lawsuits (see Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

Additional Assurances.  Make, execute and deliver to Lender such promissory notes, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, assignments, financing statements, instruments, documents and other agreements as Lender or its attorneys may reasonably request to evidence and secure the Loans and to perfect all Security Interests.

LENDER’S EXPENDITURES.  If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Borrower’s failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Borrower’s behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on any Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving any Collateral.  All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Borrower.  All such expenses will become a part of the indebtedness and, at Lender’s option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note’s maturity.

CESSATION OF ADVANCES.  If Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender shall have no obligation to make Loan Advances or to disburse Loan proceeds if:  (A) Borrower or any Guarantor is in default under the terms of this Agreement or any of the Related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any Guarantor has with Lender; (B) Borrower or any Guarantor dies, becomes incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy or similar proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C) there occurs a material adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition, in the financial condition of any Guarantor, or in the value of any Collateral securing any Loan; or (D) any Guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such Guarantor’s guaranty of the Loan or any other loan with Lender; or (E) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure, even though no Event of Default shall have occurred.

RIGHT OF SETOFF.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account).  This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.  However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law.  Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts.

DEFAULT.  Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

Payment Default.  Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the Loan.

Other Defaults.  Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

False Statements.  Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

Death or Insolvency.  The dissolution of Borrower (regardless of whether election to continue is made), any member withdraws from Borrower, or any other termination of Borrower’s existence as a going business or the death of any member, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower’s property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

Defective Collateralization.  This Agreement or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.  Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Loan.  This 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 forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

Events Affecting Guarantor.  Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the indebtedness.  In the event of a death, Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor’s estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of Default.

ANNUAL REVIEW.  This loan is subject to continuation in the Lender’s sole discretion, based on the satisfactory annual review and analysis of certain financial information as requested and received by Lender.  The Annual Review Date will be April 5th of each year, commencing 2008.  At the time of the Annual Review, an annual fee determined by Lender may be collected.

Severability.  If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any person or circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other person or circumstance.  If feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable.  If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement.  Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.  For valuable consideration, Grantor grants to Lender a security interest in the Collateral to secure the Indebtedness and agrees that Lender shall have the rights stated in this Agreement with respect to the Collateral, in addition to all other rights which Lender may have by law.

COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION.  The word “Collateral” as used in this Agreement means the following described property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and wherever located, in which Grantor is giving to Lender a security interest for the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of all other obligations under the Note and this Agreement:

See Exhibit “A”, which includes

All Inventory, Chattel Paper, Accounts, Equipment and General Intangibles;  All Inventory, Chattel Paper, Accounts, Equipment and General Intangibles; whether any of the foregoing is owned now or acquired later; all accessions, additions, replacements, and substitutions relating to any of the foregoing;  all records of any kind relating to any of the foregoing; all proceeds relating to any of the foregoing (including insurance, general intangibles and other accounts proceeds of the referenced real property.

In addition, the word “Collateral” also includes all the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and wherever located:

(A)            All accessions, attachments, accessories, tools, parts, supplies, replacements of and additions to any of the collateral described herein, whether added now or later.

(B) All products and produce of any of the property described in this Collateral section.

(C) All accounts, general intangibles, instruments, rents, monies, payments, and all other rights, arising out of a sale, lease, consignment or other disposition of any of the property described in this Collateral section.

(D) All proceeds (including insurance proceeds) from the sale, destruction, loss, or other disposition of any of the property described in this Collateral section, and sums due from a third party who has damaged or destroyed the Collateral or from that party’s insurer, whether due to judgment, settlement or other process.

(E) All records and data relating to any of the property described in this Collateral section, whether in the form of a writing, photograph, microfilm, microfiche, or electronic media, together with all of Grantor’s right, title, and interest in and to all computer software required to utilize, create, maintain, and process any such records or data on electronic media.

BORROWER’S WAIVERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.  Except as otherwise required under this Agreement or by applicable law, (A) Borrower agrees that Lender need not tell Borrower about any action or inaction Lender takes in connection with this Agreement; (B) Borrower assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed about the Collateral; and (C) Borrower waives any defenses that may arise because of any action or inaction of Lender, including without limitation any failure of Lender to realize upon the Collateral or any delay by Lender in realizing upon the Collateral; and Borrower agrees to remain liable under the Note no matter what action Lender takes or fails to take under this Agreement.

GRANTOR’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Grantor warrants that:  (A) this Agreement is executed at Borrower’s request and not at the request of Lender; (B) Grantor has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to pledge the Collateral to Lender; (C) Grantor has established adequate means of obtaining from Borrower on a continuing basis information about Borrower’s financial condition; and (D) Lender has made no representation to Grantor about Borrower or Borrower’s creditworthiness.

GRANTOR’S WAIVERS.  Grantor waives all requirements of presentment, protest, demand, and notice of dishonor or non-payment to Borrower or Grantor, or any other party to the Indebtedness or the Collateral.  Lender may do any of the following with respect to any obligation of any Borrower, without first obtaining the consent of Grantor:  (A) grant any extension of time for any payment, (B) grant any renewal, (C) permit any modification of payment terms or other terms, or (D) exchange or release any Collateral or other security.  No such act or failure to act shall affect Lender’s rights against Grantor or the Collateral.

RIGHT OF SETOFF.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Grantor’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account).  This includes all accounts Grantor holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Grantor may open in the future.  However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law.  Grantor authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.




GRANTOR’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL.  With respect to the Collateral, Grantor represents and promises to Lender that:

Perfection of Security Interest.  Grantor agrees to take whatever actions are requested by Lender to perfect and continue Lender’s security interest in the Collateral.  Upon request of Lender, Grantor will deliver to Lender any and all of the documents evidencing or constituting the Collateral, and Grantor will note Lender’s interest upon any and all chattel paper and instruments if not delivered to Lender for possession by Lender.  This is a continuing Security Agreement and will continue in effect even though all or any part of the Indebtedness is paid in full and even though for a period of time Borrower may not be indebted to Lender.

Notices to Lender.  Grantor will promptly notify Lender in writing at Lender’s address shown above (or such other addresses as Lender may designate from time to time) prior to any (1) change in Grantor’s name; (2) change in Grantor’s assumed business name(s); (3) change in the management or in the members or managers of the limited liability company Grantor; (4) change in the authorized signer(s); (5) change in Grantor’s principal office address; (6) change in Grantor’s state of organization; (7) conversion of Grantor to a new or different type of business entity; or (8) change in any other aspect of Grantor that directly or indirectly relates to any agreements between Grantor and Lender.  No change in Grantor’s name or state of organization will take effect until after Lender has received notice.

No Violation.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate any law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is a party, and its membership agreement does not prohibit any term or condition of this Agreement.

Enforceability of Collateral.  To the extent the Collateral consists of accounts, chattel paper, or general intangibles, as defined by the Uniform Commercial Code, the Collateral is enforceable in accordance with its terms, is genuine, and fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations concerning form, content and manner of preparation and execution, and all persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral have authority and capacity to contract and are in fact obligated as they appear to be on the Collateral.  At the time any account becomes subject to a security Interest in favor of Lender, the account shall be a good and valid account representing an undisputed, bona fide indebtedness incurred by the account debtor, for merchandise held subject to delivery instructions or previously shipped or delivered pursuant to a contract of sale, or for services previously performed by Grantor with or for the account debtor.  So long as this Agreement remains in effect, Grantor shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent, compromise, settle, adjust, or extend payment under or with regard to any such Accounts.  There shall be no setoffs or counterclaims against any of the Collateral, and no agreement shall have been made under which any deductions or discounts may be claimed concerning the Collateral except those disclosed to Lender in writing.

Location of the Collateral.  Except in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business, Grantor agrees to keep the Collateral (or to the extent the Collateral consists of intangible property such as accounts or general intangibles, the records concerning the Collateral) at Grantor’s address shown above or at such other locations as are acceptable to Lender.  Upon Lender’s request, Grantor will deliver to Lender in form satisfactory to Lender a schedule of real properties and Collateral locations relating to Grantor’s operations, including without limitation the following:  (1) all real property Grantor owns or is purchasing; (2) all real property Grantor is renting or leasing; (3) all storage facilities Grantor owns, rents, leases, or uses; and (4) all other properties where Collateral is or may be located.

Removal of the Collateral.  Except in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business, including the sales of inventory, Grantor shall not remove the Collateral from its existing location without Lender’s prior written consent.  To the extent that the Collateral consists of vehicles, or other titled property, Grantor shall not take or permit any action which would require application for certificates of title for the vehicles outside the State of Florida, without Lender’s prior written consent.  Grantor shall, whenever requested, advise Lender of the exact location of the Collateral.

Transactions Involving Collateral.  Except for inventory sold or accounts collected in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business, or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Grantor shall not sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral.  While Grantor is not in default under this Agreement, Grantor may sell inventory, but only in the ordinary course of its business and only to buyers who qualify as a buyer in the ordinary course of business.  A sale in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business does not include a transfer in partial or total satisfaction of a debt or any bulk sale.  Grantor shall not pledge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject to any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the security interest provided for in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Lender.  This includes security interests even if junior in right to the security interests granted under this Agreement.  Unless waived by Lender, all proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral (for whatever reason) shall be held in trust for Lender and shall not be commingled with any other funds; provided however, this requirement shall not constitute consent by Lender to any sale or other disposition.  Upon receipt, Grantor shall immediately deliver any such proceeds to Lender.

Title.  Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that Grantor holds good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except for the lien of this Agreement.  No financing statement covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public office other than those which reflect the security interest created by this Agreement or to which Lender has specifically consented.  Grantor shall defend Lender’s rights in the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other persons.

Repairs and Maintenance.  Grantor agrees to keep and maintain, and to cause others to keep and maintain, the Collateral in good order, repair and condition at all times while this Agreement remains in effect.  Grantor further agrees to pay when due all claims for work done on, or services rendered or material furnished in connection with the Collateral so that no lien or encumbrance may ever attach to or be filed against the Collateral.

Inspection of Collateral.  Lender and Lender’s designated representatives and agents shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine and inspect the Collateral wherever located.

Taxes, Assessments and Liens.  Grantor will pay when due all taxes, assessments and liens upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon this Agreement, upon any promissory note or notes evidencing the Indebtedness, or upon any of the other Related Documents.  Grantor may withhold any such payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so long as Lender’s interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized in Lender’s sole opinion.  If the Collateral is subjected to a lien which is not discharged within fifteen (15) days, Grantor shall deposit with Lender cash, a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to Lender in an amount adequate to provide for the discharge of the lien plus any interest, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees or other charges that could accrue as a result of foreclosure or sale of the Collateral.  In any contest Grantor shall defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy any final adverse judgment before enforcement against the Collateral.  Grantor shall name Lender as an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest proceedings.  Grantor further agrees to furnish Lender with evidence that such taxes, assessments, and governmental and other charges have been paid in full and in a timely manner.  Grantor may withhold any such payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so long as Lender’s interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized.

2




Compliance with Governmental Requirements.  Grantor shall comply promptly with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities, now or hereafter in effect, applicable to the ownership, production, disposition, or use of the Collateral!, including all laws or regulations relating to the undue erosion of highly-erodible land or relating to the conversion of wetlands for the production of an agricultural product or commodity.  Grantor may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Lender’s interest in the Collateral, in Lender’s opinion, is not jeopardized.

Hazardous Substances.  Grantor represents and warrants that the Collateral never has been, and never will be so long as this Agreement remains a lien on the Collateral, used in violation of any Environmental Laws or for the generation, manufacture, storage, transportation, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance.  The representations and warranties contained herein are based on Grantor’s due diligence in investigating the Collateral for Hazardous Substances.  Grantor hereby (1) releases and waives any future claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any Environmental Laws, and (2) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims and losses resulting from a breach of this provision of this Agreement.  This obligation to indemnify and defend shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and the satisfaction of this Agreement.

Maintenance of Casualty Insurance.  Grantor shall procure and maintain all risks insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and liability coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may require with respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lender.  Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer of the insurer’s liability for failure to give such a notice.  Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor or any other person.  In connection with all policies covering assets in which Lender holds or is offered a security interest, Grantor will provide Lender with such loss payable or other endorsements as Lender may require.  If Grantor at any time fails to obtain or maintain any insurance as required under this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance as Lender deems appropriate, including if Lender so chooses “single interest insurance,” which will cover only Lender’s interest in the Collateral.

Application of Insurance Proceeds.  Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the Collateral if the estimated cost of repair or replacement exceeds $5,000.00, whether or not such casualty or loss is covered by insurance.  Lender may make proof of loss if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty.  All proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral.  If Lender consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration, If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay all of the Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor.  Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their receipt and which Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Collateral shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness.

Insurance Reserves.  Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be created by monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender to be sufficient to produce at least fifteen (15) days before the premium due date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid.  If fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender.  The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they become due.  Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor, and Lender is not the agent of Grantor for payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor.  The responsibility for the payment of premiums shall remain Grantor’s sale responsibility.

Insurance Reports.  Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to Lender reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such information as Lender may reasonably request including the following:  (1) the name of the insurer; (2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of the policy; (4) the property insured; (5) the then current value on the basis of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that value; and (6) the expiration date of the policy.  In addition, Grantor shall upon request by Lender (however not more often than annually) have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as applicable, the cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral.

Financing Statements.  Grantor authorizes Lender to file a UCC financing statement, or alternatively, a copy of this Agreement to perfect Lender’s security interest.  At Lender’s request, Grantor additionally agrees to sign all other documents that are necessary to perfect, protect, and continue Lender’s security interest in the Property.  This includes making sure Lender is shown as the first and only security interest holder on the title covering the Property.  Grantor will pay all filing fees, title transfer fees, and other fees and costs involved unless prohibited by law or unless Lender is required by law to pay such fees and costs.  Grantor irrevocably appoints Lender to execute documents necessary to transfer title if there is a default.  Lender may file a copy of this Agreement as a financing statement.  If Grantor changes Grantor’s name or address, or the name or address of any person granting a security interest under this Agreement changes, Grantor will promptly notify the Lender of such change.

GRANTOR’S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS.  Until default and except as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, Grantor may have possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Grantor’s right to possession and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender’s security interest in such Collateral.  Until otherwise notified by Lender, Grantor may collect any of the Collateral consisting of accounts.  At any time and even though no Event of Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to collect the accounts and to notify account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to the Indebtedness.  If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral, whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Lender takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable care.  Lender shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties, nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the Indebtedness.

3




LENDER’S EXPENDITURES.  If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or if Grantor fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Grantor’s failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents.  Lender on Grantor’s behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral.  All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date

incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor.  All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender’s option will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note’s maturity.  The Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts.  Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon Default.

DEFAULT.  Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

Payment Default.  Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the Indebtedness.

Other Defaults.  Borrower or Grantor fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower or Grantor.

False Statements.  Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or Grantor or on Borrower’s or Grantor’s behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

Defective Collateralization.  This Agreement or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.

Insolvency.  The dissolution of Grantor (regardless of whether election to continue is made), any member withdraws from the limited liability company, or any other termination of Borrower’s or Grantor’s existence as a going business or the death of any member, the insolvency of Borrower or Grantor, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower’s or Grantor’s property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower or Grantor.

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.  Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or Grantor or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Indebtedness.  This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower’s or Grantor’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender.  However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower or Grantor as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower or Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

Events Affecting Guarantor.  Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party of any of the Indebtedness or guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party dies or becomes incompetent or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.

Adverse Change.  A material adverse change occurs in Borrower’s or Grantor’s financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.

Insecurity.  Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT.  If an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured party under the Florida Uniform Commercial Code.  In addition and without limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:

Accelerate Indebtedness.  Lender may declare the entire Indebtedness, including any prepayment penalty which Borrower would be required to pay, immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to Borrower or Grantor.

Assemble Collateral.  Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender all or any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and other documents relating to the Collateral.  Lender may require Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender.  Lender also shall have full power to enter upon the property of Grantor to take possession of and remove the Collateral.  If the Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time of repossession, Grantor agrees Lender may take such other goods, provided that Lender makes reasonable efforts to return them to Grantor after repossession.

Sell the Collateral.  Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer, or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in Lender’s own name or that of Grantor.  Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction or private sale.  Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Grantor, and other persons as required by law, reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale, or the time after which any private sale or any other disposition of the Collateral is to be made.  However, no notice need be provided to any person who, after Event of Default occurs, enters into and authenticates an agreement waiving that person’s right to notification of sale.  The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition.  All expenses relating to the disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation the expenses of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral, shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure until repaid.

Appoint Receiver.  In the event of a suit being instituted to foreclose this Agreement, Lender shall be entitled to apply at any time pending such foreclosure suit to the court having jurisdiction thereof for the appointment of a receiver of any or all of the Collateral, and of all rents, incomes, profits, issues and revenues thereof, from whatsoever source.  The parties agree that the court shall forthwith appoint such receiver with the usual powers and duties of receivers in like cases.  Such appointment shall be made by the court as a matter of strict right to Lender and without notice to Grantor, and without reference to the adequacy or inadequacy of the value of the Collateral, or to Grantor’s solvency or any other party defendant to such suit.  Grantor hereby specifically waives the right to object to the appointment of a receiver and agrees that such appointment shall be made as an admitted equity and as a matter of absolute right to Lender, and consents to the appointment of any officer or employee of Lender as receiver.  Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with the power to protect and preserve the Collateral, to operate the Collateral preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the Collateral and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the Indebtedness.  The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law.  Lender’s right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Collateral exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount.  Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.

4




Collect Revenues, Apply Accounts.  Lender, either itself or through a receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the Collateral.  Lender may at any time in Lender’s discretion transfer any Collateral into Lender’s own name or that of Lender’s nominee and receive the payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the same as security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the Indebtedness in such order of preference as Lender may determine.  Insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or similar property, Lender may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose, or realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether or not Indebtedness or Collateral is then due.  For these purposes, Lender may, on behalf of and in the name of Grantor, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Grantor; change any address to which mail and payments are to be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage of any Collateral.  To facilitate collection.  Lender may notify account debtors and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender.

Obtain Deficiency.  If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral, Lender may obtain a judgment against Borrower for any deficiency remaining on the Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement.  Borrower shall be liable for a deficiency even if the transaction described in this subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel paper.

Other Rights and Remedies.  Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as may be amended from time to time.  In addition, Lender shall have and may exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have available at law, in equity, or otherwise.

Election of Remedies.  Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender’s rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement, the Related Documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.  Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantor under this Agreement, after Grantor’s failure to perform, shall not affect Lender’s right to declare a default and exercise its remedies.

Principal Amount: $1,200,000.00

 

Date of Note: April 10, 2007

 

PROMISE TO PAY.  GTA-IB, LLC; GTA-IB Golf Resort, LLC; and GTA-IB Condominium, LLC (“Borrower”) jointly and severally promise to pay to Patriot Bank (“Lender”), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of One Million Two Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($1,200,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from April 6, 2007, until paid in full.

PAYMENT.  Subject to any payment changes resulting from changes in the Index, Borrower will pay this loan in accordance with the following payment schedule:  8 monthly consecutive interest payments, beginning May 10, 2007, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances at an interest rate based on the Wall Street Journal Prime as published in the “Money Section” of the Wall Street Journal (currently 8.250%), resulting in an initial interest rate of 8.250%; 27 monthly consecutive principal and interest payments in the initial amount of $10,219.38 each, beginning January 10, 2008, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances at an interest rate of 8.250% per annum; and one principal and interest payment of $1,153.228.18 on April 10, 2010, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances at an interest rate of 8.250% per annum.  This estimated final payment is based on the assumption that all payments will be made exactly as scheduled and that the Index does not change; the actual final payment will be for all principal and accrued interest not yet paid, together with any other unpaid amounts under this Note.  Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs.  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 Wall Street Journal Prime as published in the “Money Section” of the Wall Street Journal (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 notifying Borrower.  Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower’s request.  The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day.  Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well.  The Index currently is 8.250% per annum.  The interest rate or rates to be applied to the unpaid principal balance during this Note will be the rate or rates set forth herein in the “Payment” section.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, after the first payment stream, the interest rate for each subsequent payment stream will be effective as of the last payment date of the just-ending payment stream.  NOTICE:  Under no circumstances will the effective rate of interest on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.  Whenever increases occur in the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may do one or more of the following:  (A) increase Borrower’s payments to ensure Borrower’s loan will pay off by its original final maturity date, (B) increase Borrower’s payments to cover accruing interest, (C) increase the number of Borrower’s payments, and (D) continue Borrower’s payments at the same amount and increase Borrower’s final payment.

PREPAYMENT.  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 under the payment schedule.  Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower’s making fewer payments.  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 Borrower 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:  Patriot Bank, 1815 Little Road, Trinity, FL 34655.

LATE CHARGE.  If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT.  Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the total sum due under this Note will continue to accrue interest at the interest rate under this Note, with the final interest rate described in this Note applying after maturity, or after maturity would have occurred had there been no default.  However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under 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 any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

False Statements.  Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

Death or Insolvency.  The dissolution of Borrower (regardless of whether election to continue is made), any member withdraws from Borrower, or any other termination of Borrower’s existence as a going business or the death of any member, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower’s property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.




Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.  Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan.  This 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 forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

Events Affecting Guarantor.  Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party of any of the indebtedness or any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.  In the event of a death, Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the guarantor’s estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of Default.

Adverse Change.  A material adverse change occurs in Borrower’s financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of this Note is impaired.

Insecurity.  Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

LENDER’S RIGHTS.  Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES; EXPENSES.  Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay.  Borrower will pay Lender the amount of these costs and expenses, which includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and Lender’s legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals.  If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

JURY WAIVER.  Lender and Borrower hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender or Borrower against the other.

GOVERNING LAW.  This Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.  This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of Florida.

CHOICE OF VENUE.  If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender’s request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Pasco County, State of Florida.

RIGHT OF SETOFF.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.  However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law.  Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts.

COLLATERAL.  Borrower acknowledges this Note is secured by the following collateral described in the security instruments listed herein:

(A)  a Mortgage dated April 10, 2007, to Lender on real property located in Pinellas County, State of Florida.

(B)   an Assignment of All Rents to Lender on real property located in Pinellas County, State of Florida.

(C)   inventory, chattel paper, accounts, equipment and general intangibles described in a Commercial Security Agreement dated April 10, 2007.

ANNUAL REVIEW.  This loan is subject to continuation in the Lender’s sole discretion, based on the satisfactory annual review and analysis of certain financial information as requested and received by Lender.  The Annual Review Date will be April 5th of each year, commencing 2008. At the time of the Annual Review, an annual fee determined by Lender may be collected.

FURTHER ASSURANCE AND COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT.  Borrower(s) and Guarantor(s) agree to cooperate, adjust, initial, re-execute and re-deliver any and all closing documents, including but not limited to any notes, security documents and closing statements if deemed necessary or desirable in the sole discretion of the Bank in order to consummate or complete the Loan from the Bank to the Borrower or to perfect the Bank’s lien.  It is the intention of the Borrower that all documentation for the Loan shall be an accurate reflection of the Bank’s requirements.

GENERAL PROVISIONS.  If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, this fact will not affect the rest of the Note.  Borrower does not agree or intend to pay, and Lender does not agree or intend to contract for, charge, collect, take, reserve or receive (collectively referred to herein as “charge or collect”), any amount in the nature of interest or in the nature of a fee for this loan, which would in any way or event (including demand, prepayment, or acceleration) cause Lender to charge or collect more for this loan than the maximum Lender would be permitted to charge or collect by federal law or the law of the State of Florida (as applicable). Any such excess interest 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 principal has been paid in full, be refunded to Borrower.  Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them.  Each Borrower understands and agrees that, with or without notice to Borrower, Lender may with respect to any other Borrower (a) make one or more additional secured or unsecured loans or otherwise extend additional credit; (b) alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change one or more times the time for payment or other terms of any indebtedness, including increases and decreases of the rate of interest on the indebtedness; (c) exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate, fail or decide not to perfect, and release any security, with or without the substitution of new collateral; (d) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, including without limitation, any non-judicial sale permitted by the terms of the controlling security agreements, as Lender in its discretion may determine; (e) release, substitute, agree not to sue, or deal with any one or more of Borrower’s sureties, endorsers, or other guarantors on any terms or in any manner Lender may choose; and (f) determine how, when and what application of payments and credits shall be made on any other indebtedness owing by such other Borrower.  Borrower and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, and notice of dishonor.  Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability.  All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or release any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender’s security interest in the collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender without the consent of or notice to anyone.  All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom the modification is made.  The obligations under this Note are joint and several.
