- 5 - AQUAGENIX, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. Basis of Presentation --------------------- The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are for interim periods, do not include all disclosures provided in the audited annual consolidated financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto, together with management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996 of Aquagenix, Inc. (the "Company"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The December 31, 1996 financial statements were derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been restated for the comparative period to include the accounts of Green Pastures, Inc. which was acquired on December 31, 1996 and accounted for as a pooling of interests. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 2. Earnings Per Share ------------------ Earnings (loss) per common shares were computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Common share equivalents resulting from options and warrants have not been included for the loss per share computation for three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 since their effect would be anti-dilutive. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"), which establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS"). The statement replaces the current presentation of primary EPS and will require dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of operations. SFAS 128 requires restatement of all prior period EPS data presented and is effective in the fourth quarter of 1997 for the Company. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS 128 to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. In September 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 establishes standards of reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. In September 1997, the FASB also issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 establishes standards for reporting operating and geographic segments and the type and level of financial information to be discussed about these segments. Both SFAS 130 and SFAS 131 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. - 6 - 3. Loan Agreements --------------- In April 1997, the Company entered into loan agreements with Capital Bank which provided for borrowings under a revolving line of credit of up to an aggregate of $750,000 and a three-year term loan of $250,000 which is collaterized by a long-term receivable. Advances under the line of credit are based on certain borrowing formula relating to eligible accounts receivable. Interest accrues at the rates of 1- 1/4% above prime for the line of credit and 9.5% for the three-year term loan. Substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged to Capital Bank as collateral. This new line of credit replaced the line with SunTrust and the amount outstanding under the SunTrust's revolving line of credit was fully repaid in April 1997. In June 1997, the Company entered into a four-year loan agreement, for a principal amount of $500,000, with a commercial equipment financing company to refinance certain capital expenditures relating to application equipment and vehicles. In October 1997, the Company entered into additional loan agreements with Capital Bank which provide for an increase in the borrowings under the revolving line of credit to $1,000,000, a three-year term loan of $200,000 for purchases of computer equipment with interest accruing at 9.75% and $270,000 guidance equipment line with two drawdowns and a four-year amortization term at an interest rate of 9.75%. 4. Issuance of Common Stock ------------------------ In September 1997, the Company issued 39,500 shares of common stock resulting from the exercise of stock options granted to a financial consultant in 1994 pursuant to a consulting agreement dated November 29, 1994 between the consultant and the Company. The Company received total cash proceeds of $241,938. On May 2, 1997, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to another financial consultant resulting from the exercise of stock options granted to them in 1996 as consideration for financial consulting services rendered. The Company received an aggregate purchase price of $500,000. On May 19, 1997, the Company issued 47,500 shares of common stock to one of the directors of Aquagenix, Inc. (the "Company"), namely Mr. Fred S. Katz, upon the exercise of options granted to him under the Company's Directors Stock Option Plan. The aggregate purchase price was $200,200, all of which has been received in cash by the Company. On the same day, the Company completed an equity private placement of 83,333 shares (the "Shares") at $6.00 per share pursuant to the terms of a Subscription Agreement, dated as of May 19, 1997. The aggregate purchase price was $500,000, all of which has been received in cash by the Company. In February 1997, the Company also completed an equity private placement of 50,000 shares with an aggregate purchase price of $250,000. - 7 - Since December 31, 1996, the Company has issued a total of 365,313 shares of common stock resulting mainly from the exercise of stock options by its employees, directors, financial consultants and two private equity placements, thereby increasing its share capital by $1,879,982. 5. Subsequent Event ---------------- On October 27, 1997, the Company completed a private equity placement for an aggregate purchase price $700,000. The number of shares of common stock (the "Shares") to be issued will be based on 85% of the average closing bid price of the Company's common stock for ten consecutive trading days prior to the date the investor gives notice to receive all or any portion of the Shares. The notice by the investor will take place between January 27, 1998 and December 31, 1998. The Company also issued warrants to the investor to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock at $8.00 per share and these warrants will expire on October 27, 1999. - 8 - ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION GENERAL Aquagenix, Inc. (the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, provides aquatic and industrial vegetation management services to both governmental and commercial customers in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Arizona, Alabama and Tennessee. The Company's continued emphasis on quality service, internal growth and the selective acquisition of privately held waterway and vegetation management companies in the Sunbelt region of the United States has resulted in the Company becoming the largest provider of aquatic and industrial vegetation management services in the United States with annual revenues of approximately $11,500,000 for 1996. The Company's services consist primarily of the control of aquatic weeds, algae and exotic plants, brush and noxious tree control, wetland planting and restoration, installation of floating fountains and aeration systems and the stocking of fish for game, plant and insect control. In April 1997, the Company established a new branch office in Birmingham, Alabama as the Company has started to provide industrial vegetation management services in that region. The expansion of its network of branches into Alabama should help further develop alliances with the utility companies in that area and increase the Company's ability to capitalize on the beginning of large-scale outsourcing of non-core utility services by utility companies throughout the country. In September 1997, the Company opened an additional office in San Francisco, California managed by a new branch manager with over 20 years of experience in surface water management and ecosystem restoration. The addition of this member to the Company's management team represents the Company's first strategic move in the California market to take advantage of the significant business opportunities relating to surface water management and environmentally-sensitive land management issues currently faced by the entire western United States. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended September - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30, 1996 - -------- REVENUES. The Company's revenues increased by $203,345, or 5.8%, from $3,485,783 during the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $3,689,128 during the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in aquatic vegetation management contracts as a result of the acquisition of Aquatic Dynamics, Inc. (the "ADI Acquisition") in December 1996. This increase in revenues was partly offset by a decrease in revenues from industrial vegetation contracts for Georgia for the third quarter of 1997 as compared to the corresponding quarter of 1996. - 9 - COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services increased by $432,747, or 20.5%, from $2,106,120 during the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $2,538,867 during the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in cost of services was mainly attributable to increased chemical, labor, subcontracting and vehicle leasing costs as a result of the Company's expanding operations, of which $327,301 related to the cost of services for the Arizona operations. As a percentage of revenues, cost of services have increased from 60.4% in the third quarter of 1996 to 68.8% in the third quarter of 1997. The reduced gross margin was mainly attributable to the lower margins obtained for aquatic vegetation contracts in Arizona and industrial vegetation contracts in Alabama. In addition, the reduction of revenues from industrial vegetation contracts in the third quarter of 1997 as compared to the corresponding quarter of 1996 for the Georgia operations resulted in a higher percentage of fixed labor overheads to revenues. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $566,163, or 66.5%, from $851,689 during the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $1,417,852 during the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due mainly to the expansion of the Company's sales and marketing arm directed at penetrating the utility, governmental and wetland development markets, assimilation of the operations of the three businesses acquired in 1996, increased payroll and recruitment costs, business promotion expenses and increased corporate expenses associated with the sourcing of potential financing arrangements and acquisitions which included travel expenses, legal and professional fees. The operating expenses of the four new offices in Georgia, Arizona, Alabama and California accounted for approximately $275,000 of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Payroll costs have increased substantially mainly due to the expansion of the sales and marketing team and the additions to the corporate management team of the Company which included the recruitment of a President for the Company's largest subsidiary, a chief compliance officer for training of technical staff and monitoring of compliance with environmental regulations and a management information systems manager. As a percentage of revenues, such expenses have increased from 24.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to 38.4% for the corresponding period in 1997. The increase was mainly attributable to the increased level of infrastructure spending as evidenced by the establishment of a specialized marketing team headed by a newly appointed President and the Company-wide upgrade of the management information systems. The specialized marketing team of the Company have been targeting their efforts at governmental agencies and utility and power companies which have the most substantial demand potential for the Company's services as a result of active deregulation and increased competition which results in the outsourcing of their in-house services. Due to the greater levels of competition and cost awareness, these utility companies and municipalities must seek the most efficient and cost-effective methods of delivering their core services. This investment in the marketing infrastructure of the Company, however, is not expected to yield immediate positive results as the average selling cycle ranges from 12-18 months for governmental contracts and 6-12 months for utility contracts. - 10 - DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $170,401 in the third quarter of 1996 to $235,873 in the third quarter of 1997. Such expense as a percentage of revenues increased from 4.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 to 6.4% for the corresponding quarter in 1997. This increase reflected the additional depreciation of application equipment purchased during the three months ended September 30, 1997. In addition, amortization expenses have also increased due to the additional intangibles acquired from the ADI and ARC acquisitions. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased by $13,561 from $182,753 during the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $196,314 during the three months ended September 30, 1997 primarily as a result of increased bank borrowings. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1996 - ---- REVENUES. The Company's revenues increased by $1,457,943, or 16.7%, from $8,728,513 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $10,186,456 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in both aquatic and industrial vegetation management contracts as a result of the acquisitions of Aquatic Dynamics, Inc. (the "ADI Acquisition") in December 1996 and Aquatic and Right of Way Control, Inc. (the "ARC Acquisition") in June 1996, the establishment of a branch office in Alabama and the intensive marketing efforts targeted at electric and power utilities and governmental agencies. This increase in revenues was partly offset by a reduction in revenues from wetland and non-recurring aquatic contracts resulting from one-time contracts secured in 1996. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, industrial vegetation management services accounted for approximately 22.0% and 18.4%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues. COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services increased by $1,442,352, or 29.7%, from $4,855,112 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $6,297,464 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in cost of services was mainly attributable to increased chemical, labor, fuel, subcontracting and vehicle leasing costs as a result of the Company's expanding operations, of which $848,085 related to the cost of services for the Arizona operations. As a percentage of revenues, cost of services have increased from 55.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to 61.8% for the nine months ended September 30 ,1997. The reduced gross margin was mainly attributable to lower margins obtained for aquatic vegetation contracts in Arizona and industrial vegetation contracts in Alabama and higher chemical and subcontracting costs as a result of a higher mix of industrial vegetation management contracts for the nine months ended September 30 ,1997 as compared to the corresponding period of 1996. Gross margins from industrial vegetation management contracts are generally lower than the aquatic vegetation management contracts as they involve a higher usage of chemicals and in some cases, subcontractors have to be used when aerial chemical application using helicopters is required. - 11 - SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $1,824,692, or 77.5%, from $2,354,882 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $4,179,574 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due mainly to the expanded sales force and business development costs, the assimilation of the operations of the three businesses acquired in 1996, increased payroll and recruitment costs, higher travel and increased corporate expenses associated with the sourcing of potential financing arrangements and private placements which included travel expenses, legal and professional fees. The operating expenses of the four new offices in Georgia, Arizona, Alabama and California accounted for approximately $802,000 of the total increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Payroll costs have increased substantially mainly due to the expansion of the sales and marketing team and the additions to the corporate management team of the Company which included the recruitment of a President for the Company's largest subsidiary, a chief compliance officer for training of technical staff and monitoring of compliance with environmental regulations and a management information systems manager. As a percentage of revenues, such expenses have increased from 27.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to 41.0% for the corresponding period in 1997. This was mainly attributable to the increased level of infrastructure spending as evidenced by the establishment of a specialized marketing team headed by a newly appointed President and the Company-wide upgrade of the management information systems. The specialized marketing team of the Company have been targeting their efforts at governmental agencies and utility and power companies which have the most substantial demand potential for the Company's services as a result of active deregulation and increased competition which results in the outsourcing of their in-house services. Due to the greater levels of competition and cost awareness, these utility companies and municipalities must seek the most efficient and cost-effective methods of delivering their core services. This investment in the marketing infrastructure of the Company, however, is not expected to yield immediate positive results as the average selling cycle ranges from 12-18 months for governmental contracts and 6-12 months for utility contracts. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $476,707 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $696,912 for the corresponding period in 1997. Such expense as a percentage of revenues increased from 5.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to 6.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This increase reflected the additional depreciation of application equipment and computer equipment purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. In addition, there was an increase in amortization relating to intangibles acquired from the ADI and ARC acquisitions. INTEREST INCOME. Interest income decreased by $24,889 from $53,847 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $28,958 for the corresponding period of 1997. The decrease in interest income was consistent with the lower average cash balances in 1997 as compared to 1996. - 12 - INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased by $80,543 from $513,656 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $594,199 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 primarily as a result of increased bank borrowings. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES WORKING CAPITAL. Working capital (excluding net liabilities of discontinued operations), which consists principally of cash and accounts receivable , was $1,140,193 at December 31, 1996, compared to $1,621,076 at September 30, 1997. The increase in working capital was mainly attributable to an increase in accounts receivable. Of the Company's accounts receivable outstanding at December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1997, approximately $336,000 (31.6%) and $623,000 (38.8%) were due from five customers, respectively. The increase was primarily due to more industrial vegetation contracts undertaken during the third quarter of 1997 which are typically larger in value. At September 30, 1997, the Company's allowance for doubtful debts was $142,297 which the Company believes is currently adequate to cover anticipated losses. The average collection period for accounts receivable was approximately 35 days as of September 30, 1997 as compared to 32 days at December 31, 1996. Inventories have increased from $339,114 as of December 31, 1996 to $677,208 as of September 30, 1997 primarily as a result of increase in the number of branch offices and bulk purchases of chemicals to take advantage of quantity discounts. At September 30, 1997, the Company has loan agreements with Capital Bank which provide for borrowings under a revolving line of credit of up to an aggregate of $750,000 and a three-year term loan of $250,000 which is collaterized by a long-term receivable. Advances under the line of credit are based on a certain borrowing formula relating to eligible accounts receivable. Interest accrues at the rates of 1-1/4% above prime for the line of credit and 9.5% for the three-year term loan. Substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged to Capital Bank as collateral. As of September 30, 1997, $232,751 was outstanding under the three-year term loan and $550,000 was outstanding under the line of credit. Availability under the line of credit at September 30, 1997 amounted to $200,000. On October 3, 1997, the Company entered into additional loan agreements with Capital Bank which provide for an increase in the borrowings under the revolving line of credit to $1,000,000, a three-year term loan of $200,000 for purchases of computer equipment with interest accruing at 9.75% and a $270,000 equipment financing line with two drawdowns and a four-year amortization term at an interest rate of 9.75%. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS. As of September 30, 1997, the Company has capital commitments to purchase 25 specialized application equipment known as "Spra-Buggies" over the next 13 months at a purchase price of approximately $27,000 for each spra-buggy. The Company anticipates that these capital expenditures will be funded by a combination of bank borrowings and loans from equipment financing companies. - 13 - CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company's cash flows used in operations was $1,743,772 as compared to cash generated from operations of $1,041,031 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Of the net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, $1,527,028 were used in continuing operations as compared to $482,745 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in cash flows used in continuing operations was primarily attributable to the net loss incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. If necessary, the Company will seek additional financing through private placements or otherwise to fund its operating activities. CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, purchases of application and computer equipment amounted to $754,158. This was partly offset by some proceeds from the sale of marketable securities and equipment, resulting in net cash used in investing activities of $568,638. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 of $2,955,479 was derived mainly from the sale of marketable securities and certain assets of discontinued operations. CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 of $2,312,614 was derived primarily from the issuance of common stock resulting from equity private placements and the exercise of stock options by employees, directors and financial consultants. Proceeds from such issuances amounted to $1,865,942 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The Company also had additional borrowings of $756,090 during nine months ended September 30, 1997 which included the three-year term loan of $250,000 from Capital Bank and an equipment loan of $500,000 from a commercial equipment financing company. The Company repaid a total of $408,638 of its debts which included the instalment note of $200,000 relating to the ADI Acquisition. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. Net liabilities of discontinued operations decreased from $350,076 as of December 31, 1996 to $133,332 as of September 30, 1997. This decrease was mainly due to the settlement of certain accounts payable and the utilization of the provision for phase-out losses relating to legal fees incurred for the collection of accounts receivable of the discontinued operations and amounts paid to an ex-employee under a settlement agreement entered into in 1996. - 14 - PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.

In the event that the Wall Street Journal quotes more than one rate, or a range of rates as the Prime Rate, then the Prime Rate shall mean the average of the quoted rates. In the event that the Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a Prime Rate, then the Prime Rate shall be the average of the three largest U.S. money center commercial banks, as determined by Bank). Interest shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed and an assumed year of 360 days. Borrower and all endorsers, sureties, guarantors and any other persons liable or to become liable with respect to the loan evidenced by this Note (the "Loan") are each included in the term "Obligors" as used in this Note. Said principal and interest shall be payable in lawful money of the United States, on the dates and in the amounts specified below, to wit: (a) Interest shall be paid in monthly installments coming on the first (1st) day of the month following the date hereof, and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter. (b) The then outstanding principal balance plus any accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable ON DEMAND ("Maturity Date"). Borrower shall pay to Bank a late charge of five percent (5%) of any payment not received by Bank within fifteen (15) days of its due date; provided, however, if said fifteen (15) day period ends on a day other than a day on which Bank is open for Business (a "Business Day"), then the aforedescribed late charge shall be payable if the payment is not received by the last Business Day within said fifteen (15) day period. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty. 1 Borrower shall pay all amounts owing under this Note in full when due without set-off, counterclaim deduction or withholding for any reason whatsoever. If any payment falls due on a day other than a Business Day, then such payment shall instead be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue accordingly. Any payment received by Bank after 1:00 p.m. shall not be credited against the indebtedness under this Note until at least the next succeeding Business Day. If default be made in the payment of any sums payable pursuant to the terms of this Note, or if default or other event causing the acceleration of this Note occur under the Loan Agreement of even date herewith (the "Loan Agreement") or under the Security Agreement of even date herewith securing this Note (the "Security Agreement"), the Continuing Guaranty by Aquagenix, Inc. ("Guarantor") of even date herewith ("Guaranty"), the Promissory Note in the amount of $250,000 of even date herewith executed by Guarantor (the "Term Note"), or any other instrument or document executed in connection with the Loan (this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Guaranty, the Term Note and all such instruments and documents, including, without limitation, any guaranties, agreements, UCC-1 financing statements, security agreements, assignments and other documents securing this Note, are referred to in this Note as the "Loan Documents") (an "Event of Default"), then or at any time thereafter at the option of Bank, the whole of the principal sum then remaining unpaid hereunder, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other sums owing under the Loan Documents, shall immediately become due and payable without notice and Bank shall be entitled to pursue any and all rights and remedies provided by applicable law and/or under the terms of this Note or any other Loan Document, all of which shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently. The foregoing references shall not be deemed to limit the demand feature of this Note. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Bank, at its option, may at any time declare any or all other liabilities of any Obligor to Bank immediately due and payable (notwithstanding any contrary provisions thereof) without demand or notice of any kind. In addition, Bank shall have the right to set off any and all sums owed to any Obligor by Bank in any capacity (whether or not then due) against the Loan and/or against any other liabilities of any Obligor to Bank. From and after an Event of Default, and regardless of whether the Bank also elects to accelerate the maturity of this Note, the entire principal remaining unpaid hereunder shall bear an augmented annual interest rate equal to the lesser of (i) twenty-five percent (25%) per annum, or (ii) the highest applicable lawful rate. Failure to exercise any and all rights or remedies Bank may in the event of any such default be entitled to shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such rights or remedies in the event of any subsequent default, whether of the same or different nature. No waiver of any right or remedy by Bank shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by Bank, nor shall any waiver on one occasion apply to any future occasion. In no event shall any agreed or actual exaction charged, reserved or taken as an advance or forbearance by Bank as consideration for the Loan exceed the limits (if any) imposed or provided by the law applicable from time to time to the Loan for the use or detention of money or for forbearance in seeking its collection, and Bank hereby waives any right to demand such excess. If the floating rate of interest based on the Prime Rate should increase above such maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law (if any), then notwithstanding 2 any contrary provision in this Note or any other Loan Document and without necessity of further agreement or notice by Bank or any Obligor, the unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall thereupon bear interest at such maximum lawful rate. If the floating interest should thereafter decrease below such maximum lawful rate, the Loan shall nevertheless continue to bear interest at such maximum lawful rate until Bank, receives the full amount of interest delayed by the application of such maximum lawful rate under this paragraph, at which time the Loan shall once again bear interest at the then applicable floating interest rate. In the event that the interest provisions of this Note or any exactions provided for in this Note or any other Loan Document shall result at any time or for any reason in an effective rate of interest that transcends the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law (if any), then without further agreement or notice the obligation to be fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to such limit and all sums received by Bank in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest shall be applied against the principal of the Loan immediately upon Bank's receipt thereof, with the same force and effect as though the payor had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and Bank had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment or prepayments. During any time that the Loan bears interest at the maximum lawful rate (whether by application of this paragraph, the default provisions of this Note or otherwise), interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and the actual number of days in the respective calendar year. The interest rate charged is authorized by Florida Statutes, Chapter 665. The Obligors hereby severally: (a) waive demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, suit against or joinder of any other person, and all other requirements necessary to charge or hold any Obligor liable with respect to the Loan; (b) waive any right to immunity from any such action or proceeding and waive any immunity or exemption of any property, wherever located, from garnishment, levy, execution, seizure or attachment prior to or in execution of judgment, or sale under execution or other process for the collection of debts; (c) waive any right to interpose any set-off or non-compulsory counterclaim or to plead laches or any statute of limitations as a defense in any such action or proceeding and waive (to the extent lawfully waivable) all provisions and requirements of law for the benefit of any Obligor now or hereafter in force; (d) submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Florida for purposes of any such action or proceeding; (e) agree that the venue of any such action or proceeding may be laid in Dade County, Florida (in addition to any county in which any collateral for the Loan is located), and waive any claim that the same is an inconvenient forum; (f) stipulate that service of process in any such action or proceeding shall be properly made if mailed by any form of registered or certified mail (airmail if international), postage prepaid, to the address then registered in Bank's records for the Obligor(s) so served, and that any process so served shall be effective ten (10) days after mailing; and (g) agree that the death or mental or physical incapacity of any Obligor that is a natural person, or the dissolution or merger or consolidation or termination of the existence of any Obligor that is a business entity (or if any person controlling such Obligor shall take any action authorizing or leading to the same), shall at Bank's option, which option may be exercised then or at any time thereafter, result in the Loan being then due and payable in full. No provision of this Note shall limit Bank's right to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring any such action or proceeding in any other competent jurisdiction. The Obligors hereby severally consent and agree that, at any time and from time to time without notice, (i) Bank and the owners(s) of any collateral then securing the Loan may agree to 3 release, increase, change, substitute or exchange all or any part of such collateral, and (ii) Bank and any person(s) then primarily liable for the Loan may agree to renew, extend or compromise the Loan in whole or in part or to modify the terms of the Loan in any respect whatsoever; no such release, increase, change, substitution, exchange, renewal, extension, compromise or modification shall release or affect in any way the liability of any Obligor, and the Obligors hereby severally waive any and all defenses and claims whatsoever based thereon. Until Bank receives all sums due under this Note and all other Loan Documents in immediately available funds, no Obligor shall be released from liability with respect to the Loan unless Bank expressly releases such Obligor in a writing signed by Bank, and Bank's release of any Obligor(s) shall not release any other person liable with respect to the Loan. The Obligors jointly and severally agree to pay all filing fees and similar charges and all costs incurred by Bank in collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure the Loan, including reasonable attorney's fees, whether or not involving litigation and/or appellate, administrative or Bankruptcy proceedings. The Obligors jointly and severally agree to pay any documentary stamp taxes, intangibles taxes or other taxes (except for federal or Florida franchise or income taxes based on Bank's net income) which may now or hereafter apply to this Note or the Loan or any security therefor, and the Obligors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against any liability, costs, reasonable attorney's fees, penalties, interest or expenses relating to any such taxes, as and when the same may be incurred. The Obligors jointly and severally agree to pay on demand, and to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against, any and all present or future taxes (other than income tax of Bank), levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings imposed in connection with the Loan by the laws or governmental authorities of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida or the United States of America, and all payments to Bank under this Note shall be made free and clear thereof and without deduction therefor. This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, except that federal law shall govern to the extent that it may permit Bank to charge, from time to time, interest on the Loan at a rate higher than may be permissible under applicable Florida law. Any provision of this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction only, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent that the Obligors may lawfully waive any law that would otherwise invalidate any provision of this Note, each of them hereby waives the same, to the end that this Note shall be valid and binding and enforceable against each of them in accordance with all its terms. If this Note is signed by more than one person, then the term "Borrower" as used in this Note shall refer to all such persons jointly and severally, and all promises, agreements, covenants waivers, consents, representations, warranties and other provisions in this Note are made by and shall be binding upon each and every undersigned person, jointly and severally. The term "Bank" shall be deemed to include any subsequent holder(s) of this Note. Whenever used 4 in this Note, the term "person" means any individual, firm, corporation, trust or other organization or association or other enterprise or any governmental or political subdivision, agency, department or instrumentality thereof. Whenever used in this Note, words in the singular include the plural, words in the plural include the singular, and pronouns of any gender include the other genders, all as may be appropriate. The "Prime Rate" is a base reference rate of interest adopted by Capital Bank as a general benchmark from which Capital Bank determines the floating interest rates chargeable on various loans to borrowers with varying degrees of creditworthiness, and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Bank has made no representations whatsoever that the "Prime Rate" is the interest rate actually offered by Capital Bank to borrowers of any particular creditworthiness. Time shall be of the essence with respect to the terms of this Note. This Note cannot be changed or modified orally. Bank shall have the right unilaterally to correct patent errors or omissions in this Note or any other Loan Document. Except as otherwise required by law or by the provisions of this Note or any other Loan Document, payments received by Bank hereunder shall be applied first against expenses and indemnities, next against interest accrued on the Loan, and next in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, except that from and after any default under this Note, Bank may apply such payments in any order of priority determined by Bank in its exclusive judgment. Borrower shall receive immediate credit on payments only if made in the form of either a federal wire transfer of cleared funds or a check drawn on an account maintained with Bank containing sufficient available funds. Otherwise, Borrower shall receive credit on payments after clearance, which shall be no sooner than the first Business Day after receipt of payment by Bank. For purposes of determining interest accruing under this Note, principal shall be deemed outstanding on the date payment is credited by Bank. If any payment required to be made pursuant to this Note is not received on the due date, Bank shall have the right, at its election, to charge any of Borrower's accounts at Bank with the amount of such payment. Except as otherwise required by the provisions of this Note or any other Loan Document, any notice required to be given to any Obligor shall be deemed sufficient if made personally or if mailed, postage prepaid, to such Obligor's address as it appears in this Note (or, if none appears, to any address for such Obligor then registered in Bank's records). Bank may grant participations in all or any portion of, and may assign all or any part of Bank's rights under, this Note. Bank may disclose to any such participant or assignee any and all information held by or known to Bank at any time with respect to any Obligor. If Borrower or any other Obligor is a partnership, then all general partners thereof shall be liable jointly and severally for all obligations under this Note and for all other covenants, agreements, undertakings and obligations of Borrower in connection with the Loan, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the partnership laws of the State of Florida. All of the terms of this Note shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon each and every one of the Obligors and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns, jointly and severally. BANK AND BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE AND ANY 5 AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS, (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY.

(hereinafter called "Guarantor"), for itself, their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantee to CAPITAL BANK, a Florida banking corporation (hereinafter called "Lender"), and its successors, participants, endorsees or assigns, the due performance and full and prompt payment when due, whether at maturity or by acceleration, or otherwise, of any and all obligations and indebtedness of AQUAGENIX LAND-WATER TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (hereinafter called "Borrower") to Lender. The word "indebtedness" is used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities, including interest of Borrower heretofore, now or hereafter made, incurred or created or held or to be held, by Lender for its own account or as agent for another, or otherwise, whether created directly or acquired by assignment, or otherwise, whether voluntary or involuntary, and however arising, whether due or not, absolute or contingent, liquidated or non-liquidated, and whether Borrower may be liable individually or jointly with others, or whether recovery upon such indebtedness may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, or whether such indebtedness may be or hereafter become otherwise unenforceable. This is a Continuing Guaranty relating to said indebtedness, including that arising under subsequent or successive transactions between Borrower and Lender, which shall either continue or increase the indebtedness and is not limited as to amount. The obligations hereunder are joint and several, and independent of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor, whether action is brought against Borrower or whether Borrower may be joined in any such action or actions. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Guarantor acknowledges that the loan referred to herein is a valid and binding obligation of the Borrower. Guarantor authorizes Lender, without notice of demand, and without affecting their liability hereunder, from time to time, and on any number of occasions, to (a) renew, amend, compromise, extend, accelerate, reinstate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the indebtedness or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; (b) take and hold security of the payment of this guaranty or the indebtedness guaranteed, exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender in its discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or guarantors. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that no act or omission of any kind by Lender, including, but not limited to, the failure to take or perfect a security interest in any security for the indebtedness guaranteed, shall affect or impair this guaranty and the Lender shall have no duties in respect thereof to Guarantor. Lender, may, without notice, assign this guaranty in whole or in part. 1 Guarantor waives any right to require Lender to (a) proceed against Borrower; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower; or (c) pursue any other remedy in Lender's power whatsoever. Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower. Until all indebtedness of Borrower to Lender shall have been paid in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, and waive any right to enforce any remedy which Lender now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Lender. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of dishonors and notices of acceptance of this guaranty and of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness. Guarantor covenants to cause the Borrower to maintain and preserve the enforceability of any instruments now or hereafter executed in favor of the Lender, and to take no action of any kind which might be the basis for a claim that the Guarantor have any defense hereunder other than payment in full of all indebtedness of the Borrower to Lender. Guarantor hereby indemnifies Lender against loss, cost or expense by reason of the assertion by the Guarantor of any defense hereunder based upon any such action or inaction of the Borrower. Guarantor waives any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the Borrower's assets or to require the Lender to proceed against the Guarantor in any particular order. No delay on the part of the Lender in the exercise of any right, power or privilege under the documentation with the Borrower or under this guaranty shall operate as a waiver of any such privilege, power or right. In addition to all liens upon, and rights of setoffs against, the monies, securities, or other property of Guarantor, or any of them, given to Lender by law, Lender shall have a lien upon, and a right of setoff against, all monies, securities and other property of Guarantor, or any of them, now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with Lender, whether held in a general or special account of deposit, or for safekeeping, or otherwise; and every such lien and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to Guarantor. No lien or right of setoff shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of the Lender, or by any neglect to exercise such right of setoff or to enforce such lien, or by any delay in so doing; and every right of setoff and lien shall continue in full force and effect until such right of setoff or lien is specifically waived or released by an instrument in writing executed by Lender. Any indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender; and such indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor if Lender so requests shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustees for Lender and be paid over to Lender on account of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this guaranty. Guarantor agrees to pay a reasonable attorneys' fee and all other costs and expenses which may be incurred or expended by Lender in the enforcement of the Borrower's obligation and of this guaranty, whether suit be brought or not, and in the event suit is brought, then for all services in trial and appellate courts. Guarantor does hereby waive the right to trial by jury of any claims or actions arising hereunder or resulting from the indebtedness referred to herein. 2 Upon the default of the Borrower with respect to any of its obligations or liabilities to Lender, or in case Borrower or any Guarantor shall become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a petition in bankruptcy or for corporate reorganization or for an arrangement be filed by or against Borrower or any Guarantor, or in the event of the appointment of a receiver for Borrower or for any Guarantor or their properties, or in the even that a judgment is obtained or warrant of attachment issued against Borrower or any Guarantor, or in the event Lender deems itself insecure, or should Lender request additional security and Guarantor or Borrower should fail to provide same, all or any part of the indebtedness of the Borrower and of the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor to Lender, whether direct or contingent, and of every kind and description, shall, without notice or demand, at the option of the Lender, become immediately due and payable and shall be paid forthwith by the Guarantor. Where the Borrower is a corporation or a partnership, it is not necessary for the Lender to inquire into the powers of the Borrower, or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act in the Borrower's behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any instrument now or hereafter evidencing said indebtedness, the total liability for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the limits imposed from time to time by the usury laws of the State of Florida. This guaranty and the rights and obligations of the Lender and the Guarantor shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The terms "Borrower," "Borrowers," "Guarantor" or "Guarantors" shall denote the single or the plural, and natural or artificial persons whenever and wherever the context so requires or admits. The Guarantor acknowledges that the Lender has been induced by this Guaranty to make financial accommodations, now and in the future, to the Borrower, and would not make such financial accommodations without this Guaranty, and this Guaranty agreement shall, without further reference or assignment, pass to, and may be relied upon and enforced by, any successor or participant or assignee of the Lender. As to each of the undersigned, this Guaranty shall continue until written notice of revocation signed by such undersigned, or until written notice of the death of such undersigned shall in each case have been actually received by the Lender, notwithstanding revocation by, or the death of, or complete or partial release for any cause of, any one or more of the remainder of the undersigned, or of the Borrower or of anyone liable in any manner for the indebtedness hereby guaranteed or for the indebtedness (including those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and notwithstanding the dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel of any one or more of the undersigned which may be partnerships. No revocation or termination hereof shall affect in any manner rights arising under this Guaranty with respect to (a) liabilities which shall have been created, contracted, assumed or incurred prior to receipt by the Lender of written notice of such revocation or 3 termination, or (b) liabilities which shall have been created, contracted, assumed or incurred after receipt of such written notice pursuant to any contract entered into by the Lender prior to receipt of such notice; and the sole effect of revocation or termination hereof shall be to exclude from this Guaranty liabilities thereafter arising which are unconnected with liabilities theretofore arising or transactions theretofore entered into. All notices required or permitted to be given to the Lender herein shall be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, directed to the President of the Lender. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law; however, if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Upon the payment in full of all Senior Debt, the holders of Subordinated Debt shall be subrogated to all rights of any holder of Senior Debt to receive any further payments or distributions applicable to the Senior Debt until the Subordinated Debt shall have been paid in full, and such payments or distributions received by the holders of Subordinated Debt by reason of such subrogation, of cash, securities or other property that otherwise would be paid or distributed to the holders of Senior Debt, shall, as between the Company and its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt, on the one hand, and the holders of Subordinated Debt, on the other hand, be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of Senior Debt, and not on account of Subordinated Debt.

Each holder of Subordinated Debt by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement to and a consideration of each holder of any Senior Debt, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the creation of Subordinated Debt, to acquire and hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt, and such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and holding, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS REGARDING SUBORDINATED DEBT. The Creditor and the Company represent that the Company now owes the Creditor the sum of $5,000,000 without counterclaim, defense or offset, which indebtedness is evidenced by the Notes (as defined in Section 1 hereof).

In the event that the Wall Street Journal quotes more than one rate, or a range of rates as the Prime Rate, then the Prime Rate shall mean the average of the quoted rates. In the event that the Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a Prime Rate, then the Prime Rate shall be the average of the three largest U.S. money center commercial banks, as determined by Bank). Interest shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed and an assumed year of 360 days. Borrower and all endorsers, sureties, guarantors and any other persons liable or to become liable with respect to the loan evidenced by this Note (the "Loan") are each included in the term "Obligors" as used in this Note. Said principal and interest shall be payable in lawful money of the United States, on the dates and in the amounts specified below, to wit: (a) Interest on the outstanding principal balance shall be paid in monthly installments commencing on the first (1st) day of the month following the date hereof, and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter. (b) The then-outstanding principal balance plus any accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable ON DEMAND ("Maturity Date"). Borrower shall pay to Bank a late charge of five percent (5%) of any payment not received by Bank within fifteen (15) days of its due date; provided, however, if said fifteen (15) day period ends on a day other than a day on which Bank is open for Business (a "Business Day"), then the aforedescribed late charge shall be payable if the payment is not received by the last Business Day within said fifteen (15) day period. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty. Borrower shall pay all amounts owing under this Note in full when due without set-off, counterclaim deduction or withholding for any reason whatsoever. If any payment falls due on a day other than a Business Day, then such payment shall instead be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue accordingly. Any payment received by Bank after 1:00 p.m. shall not be credited against the indebtedness under this Note until at least the next succeeding Business Day. 1 If default be made in the payment of any sums payable pursuant to the terms of this Note, or if default or other event causing the acceleration of this Note occur under the Loan Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated April 10, 1997, as amended by the First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated even date herewith (the "Loan Agreement") or under the Security Agreement securing this Note between Borrower, Aquagenix, Inc. and Bank dated April 10, 1997, as amended by the First Amendment to Security Agreement dated even date herewith (the "Security Agreement"), the Continuing Guaranty by Aquagenix, Inc. ("Guarantor") dated April 10, 1997, as reaffirmed by Reaffirmation of Guaranty dated even date herewith ("Guaranty"), the Promissory Note in the amount of $250,000 dated April 10, 1997, executed by Guarantor (the "Term Note"), the Consolidated Promissory Note in the amount of $1,000,000 between Borrower and Bank dated even date herewith (the "Consolidated Note"), the Term Promissory Note in the amount of $200,000 between Borrower and Bank dated even date herewith (the "$200,000 Term Note"), the Guidance Equipment Line Promissory Note in the amount of $270,000 between Borrower and Bank dated even date herewith ("Equipment Note") or any other instrument or document executed in connection with the Loan (this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Guaranty, the Term Note, the Consolidated Note, the $200,000 Term Note, the Equipment Note and all such instruments and documents, including, without limitation, any guaranties, agreements, UCC-1 financing statements, security agreements, assignments and other documents securing this Note, are referred to in this Note as the "Loan Documents") (an "Event of Default"), then or at any time thereafter at the option of Bank, the whole of the principal sum then remaining unpaid hereunder, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other sums owing under the Loan Documents, shall immediately become due and payable without notice and Bank shall be entitled to pursue any and all rights and remedies provided by applicable law and/or under the terms of this Note or any other Loan Document, all of which shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently. The foregoing references shall not be deemed to limit the demand feature of this Note. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Bank, at its option, may at any time declare any or all other liabilities of any Obligor to Bank immediately due and payable (notwithstanding any contrary provisions thereof) without demand or notice of any kind. In addition, Bank shall have the right to set off any and all sums owed to any Obligor by Bank in any capacity (whether or not then due) against the Loan and/or against any other liabilities of any Obligor to Bank. From and after an Event of Default, and regardless of whether the Bank also elects to accelerate the maturity of this Note, the entire principal remaining unpaid hereunder shall bear an augmented annual interest rate equal to the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum, or (ii) the highest applicable lawful rate. Failure to exercise any and all rights or remedies Bank may in the event of any such default be entitled to shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such rights or remedies in the event of any subsequent default, whether of the same or different nature. No waiver of any right or remedy by Bank shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by Bank, nor shall any waiver on one occasion apply to any future occasion. In no event shall any agreed or actual exaction charged, reserved or taken as an advance or forbearance by Bank as consideration for the Loan exceed the limits (if any) imposed or provided by the law applicable from time to time to the Loan for the use or detention of money or for forbearance in seeking its collection, and Bank hereby waives any right to demand such excess. 2 If the floating rate of interest based on the Prime Rate should increase above such maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law (if any), then notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Note or any other Loan Document and without necessity of further agreement or notice by Bank or any Obligor, the unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall thereupon bear interest at such maximum lawful rate. If the floating interest should thereafter decrease below such maximum lawful rate, the Loan shall nevertheless continue to bear interest at such maximum lawful rate until Bank, receives the full amount of interest delayed by the application of such maximum lawful rate under this paragraph, at which time the Loan shall once again bear interest at the then applicable floating interest rate. In the event that the interest provisions of this Note or any exactions provided for in this Note or any other Loan Document shall result at any time or for any reason in an effective rate of interest that transcends the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law (if any), then without further agreement or notice the obligation to be fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to such limit and all sums received by Bank in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest shall be applied against the principal of the Loan immediately upon Bank's receipt thereof, with the same force and effect as though the payor had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and Bank had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment or prepayments. During any time that the Loan bears interest at the maximum lawful rate (whether by application of this paragraph, the default provisions of this Note or otherwise), interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and the actual number of days in the respective calendar year. The interest rate charged is authorized by Florida Statutes, Chapter 665. The Obligors hereby severally: (a) waive demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, suit against or joinder of any other person, and all other requirements necessary to charge or hold any Obligor liable with respect to the Loan; (b) waive any right to immunity from any such action or proceeding and waive any immunity or exemption of any property, wherever located, from garnishment, levy, execution, seizure or attachment prior to or in execution of judgment, or sale under execution or other process for the collection of debts; (c) waive any right to interpose any set-off or non-compulsory counterclaim or to plead laches or any statute of limitations as a defense in any such action or proceeding and waive (to the extent lawfully waivable) all provisions and requirements of law for the benefit of any Obligor now or hereafter in force; (d) submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Florida for purposes of any such action or proceeding; (e) agree that the venue of any such action or proceeding may be laid in Dade County, Florida (in addition to any county in which any collateral for the Loan is located), and waive any claim that the same is an inconvenient forum; (f) stipulate that service of process in any such action or proceeding shall be properly made if mailed by any form of registered or certified mail (airmail if international), postage prepaid, to the address then registered in Bank's records for the Obligor(s) so served, and that any process so served shall be effective ten (10) days after mailing; and (g) agree that the death or mental or physical incapacity of any Obligor that is a natural person, or the dissolution or merger or consolidation or termination of the existence of any Obligor that is a business entity (or if any person controlling such Obligor shall take any action authorizing or leading to the same), shall at Bank's option, which option may be exercised then or at any time thereafter, result in the Loan being then due and payable in full. No provision of this Note shall limit Bank's right to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring any such action or proceeding in any other competent jurisdiction. The Obligors hereby severally consent and agree that, at any time and from time to time without notice, (i) 3 Bank and the owners(s) of any collateral then securing the Loan may agree to release, increase, change, substitute or exchange all or any part of such collateral, and (ii) Bank and any person(s) then primarily liable for the Loan may agree to renew, extend or compromise the Loan in whole or in part or to modify the terms of the Loan in any respect whatsoever; no such release, increase, change, substitution, exchange, renewal, extension, compromise or modification shall release or affect in any way the liability of any Obligor, and the Obligors hereby severally waive any and all defenses and claims whatsoever based thereon. Until Bank receives all sums due under this Note and all other Loan Documents in immediately available funds, no Obligor shall be released from liability with respect to the Loan unless Bank expressly releases such Obligor in a writing signed by Bank, and Bank's release of any Obligor(s) shall not release any other person liable with respect to the Loan. The Obligors jointly and severally agree to pay all filing fees and similar charges and all costs incurred by Bank in collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure the Loan, including reasonable attorney's fees, whether or not involving litigation and/or appellate, administrative or Bankruptcy proceedings. The Obligors jointly and severally agree to pay any documentary stamp taxes, intangibles taxes or other taxes (except for federal or Florida franchise or income taxes based on Bank's net income) which may now or hereafter apply to this Note or the Loan or any security therefor, and the Obligors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against any liability, costs, reasonable attorney's fees, penalties, interest or expenses relating to any such taxes, as and when the same may be incurred. The Obligors jointly and severally agree to pay on demand, and to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against, any and all present or future taxes (other than income tax of Bank), levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings imposed in connection with the Loan by the laws or governmental authorities of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida or the United States of America, and all payments to Bank under this Note shall be made free and clear thereof and without deduction therefor. This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, except that federal law shall govern to the extent that it may permit Bank to charge, from time to time, interest on the Loan at a rate higher than may be permissible under applicable Florida law. Any provision of this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction only, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent that the Obligors may lawfully waive any law that would otherwise invalidate any provision of this Note, each of them hereby waives the same, to the end that this Note shall be valid and binding and enforceable against each of them in accordance with all its terms. If this Note is signed by more than one person, then the term "Borrower" as used in this Note shall refer to all such persons jointly and severally, and all promises, agreements, covenants waivers, consents, representations, warranties and other provisions in this Note are made by and shall be binding upon each and every undersigned person, jointly and severally. The term "Bank" shall be deemed to include any subsequent holder(s) of this Note. Whenever used 4 in this Note, the term "person" means any individual, firm, corporation, trust or other organization or association or other enterprise or any governmental or political subdivision, agency, department or instrumentality thereof. Whenever used in this Note, words in the singular include the plural, words in the plural include the singular, and pronouns of any gender include the other genders, all as may be appropriate. The "Prime Rate" is a base reference rate of interest adopted by Capital Bank as a general benchmark from which Capital Bank determines the floating interest rates chargeable on various loans to borrowers with varying degrees of creditworthiness, and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Bank has made no representations whatsoever that the "Prime Rate" is the interest rate actually offered by Capital Bank to borrowers of any particular creditworthiness. Time shall be of the essence with respect to the terms of this Note. This Note cannot be changed or modified orally. Bank shall have the right unilaterally to correct patent errors or omissions in this Note or any other Loan Document. Except as otherwise required by law or by the provisions of this Note or any other Loan Document, payments received by Bank hereunder shall be applied first against expenses and indemnities, next against interest accrued on the Loan, and next in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, except that from and after any default under this Note, Bank may apply such payments in any order of priority determined by Bank in its exclusive judgment. Borrower shall receive immediate credit on payments only if made in the form of either a federal wire transfer of cleared funds or a check drawn on an account maintained with Bank containing sufficient available funds. Otherwise, Borrower shall receive credit on payments after clearance, which shall be no sooner than the first Business Day after receipt of payment by Bank. For purposes of determining interest accruing under this Note, principal shall be deemed outstanding on the date payment is credited by Bank. If any payment required to be made pursuant to this Note is not received on the due date, Bank shall have the right, at its election, to charge any of Borrower's accounts at Bank with the amount of such payment. Except as otherwise required by the provisions of this Note or any other Loan Document, any notice required to be given to any Obligor shall be deemed sufficient if made personally or if mailed, postage prepaid, to such Obligor's address as it appears in this Note (or, if none appears, to any address for such Obligor then registered in Bank's records). Bank may grant participations in all or any portion of, and may assign all or any part of Bank's rights under, this Note. Bank may disclose to any such participant or assignee any and all information held by or known to Bank at any time with respect to any Obligor. If Borrower or any other Obligor is a partnership, then all general partners thereof shall be liable jointly and severally for all obligations under this Note and for all other covenants, agreements, undertakings and obligations of Borrower in connection with the Loan, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the partnership laws of the State of Florida. All of the terms of this Note shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon each and every one of the Obligors and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns, jointly and severally. This Consolidated Promissory Note consolidates that certain Promissory Note executed by Borrower in favor of Bank dated April 10, 1997, in the original principal sum of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000), and that certain Future Advance Promissory Note dated of even date herewith, in the original principal sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). 5 BANK AND BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE AND ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS, (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY.

During any time that the Loan bears interest at the maximum lawful rate (whether by application of this paragraph, the default provisions of this Note or otherwise), interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and the actual number of days in the respective calendar year. The interest rate charged is authorized by Florida Statutes, Chapter 665. The Obligors hereby severally: (a) waive demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, suit against or joinder of any other person, and all other requirements necessary to charge or hold any Obligor liable with respect to the Loan; (b) waive any right to immunity from any such action or proceeding and waive any immunity or exemption of any property, wherever located, from garnishment, levy, execution, seizure or attachment prior to or in execution of judgment, or sale under execution or other process for the collection of debts; (c) waive any right to interpose any set-off or non-compulsory counterclaim or to plead laches or any statute of limitations as a defense in any such action or proceeding and waive (to the extent lawfully waivable) all provisions and requirements of law for the benefit of any Obligor now or hereafter in force; (d) submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Florida for purposes of any such action or proceeding; (e) agree that the venue of any such action or proceeding may be laid in Dade County, Florida (in addition to any county in which any collateral for the Loan is located), and waive any claim that the same is an inconvenient forum; (f) stipulate that service of process in any such action or proceeding shall be properly made if mailed by any form of registered or certified mail (airmail if international), postage prepaid, to the address then registered in Bank's records for the Obligor(s) so served, and that any process so served shall be effective ten (10) days after mailing; and (g) agree that the death or mental or physical incapacity of any Obligor that is a natural person, or the dissolution or merger or consolidation or termination of the existence of any Obligor that is a business entity (or if any person controlling such Obligor shall take any action authorizing or leading to the same), shall at Bank's option, which option may be exercised then or at any time thereafter, result in the Loan being then due and payable in full. No provision of this Note shall limit Bank's right to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring any such action or proceeding in any other competent jurisdiction. The Obligors hereby severally consent and agree that, at any time and from time to time without notice, (i) Bank and the owners(s) of any collateral then securing the Loan may agree to release, increase, change, substitute or exchange all or any part of such collateral, and (ii) Bank and any person(s) then primarily liable for the Loan may agree to renew, extend or compromise the Loan in whole or in part or to modify the terms of the Loan in any respect whatsoever; no such release, increase, change, substitution, exchange, renewal, extension, compromise or modification shall release or affect in any way the liability of any Obligor, and the Obligors hereby severally waive any and all defenses and claims whatsoever based thereon. Until Bank receives all sums due under this Note and all other Loan Documents in immediately available funds, no Obligor shall be released from liability with respect to the Loan unless Bank expressly releases such Obligor in a writing signed by Bank, and Bank's release of any Obligor(s) shall not release any other person liable with respect to the Loan. 3 The Obligors jointly and severally agree to pay all filing fees and similar charges and all costs incurred by Bank in collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure the Loan, including reasonable attorney's fees, whether or not involving litigation and/or appellate, administrative or Bankruptcy proceedings. The Obligors jointly and severally agree to pay any documentary stamp taxes, intangibles taxes or other taxes (except for federal or Florida franchise or income taxes based on Bank's net income) which may now or hereafter apply to this Note or the Loan or any security therefor, and the Obligors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against any liability, costs, reasonable attorney's fees, penalties, interest or expenses relating to any such taxes, as and when the same may be incurred. The Obligors jointly and severally agree to pay on demand, and to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against, any and all present or future taxes (other than income tax of Bank), levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings imposed in connection with the Loan by the laws or governmental authorities of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida or the United States of America, and all payments to Bank under this Note shall be made free and clear thereof and without deduction therefor. This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, except that federal law shall govern to the extent that it may permit Bank to charge, from time to time, interest on the Loan at a rate higher than may be permissible under applicable Florida law. Any provision of this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction only, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent that the Obligors may lawfully waive any law that would otherwise invalidate any provision of this Note, each of them hereby waives the same, to the end that this Note shall be valid and binding and enforceable against each of them in accordance with all its terms. If this Note is signed by more than one person, then the term "Borrower" as used in this Note shall refer to all such persons jointly and severally, and all promises, agreements, covenants waivers, consents, representations, warranties and other provisions in this Note are made by and shall be binding upon each and every undersigned person, jointly and severally. The term "Bank" shall be deemed to include any subsequent holder(s) of this Note. Whenever used in this Note, the term "person" means any individual, firm, corporation, trust or other organization or association or other enterprise or any governmental or political subdivision, agency, department or instrumentality thereof. Whenever used in this Note, words in the singular include the plural, words in the plural include the singular, and pronouns of any gender include the other genders, all as may be appropriate. The "Prime Rate" is a base reference rate of interest adopted by Capital Bank as a general benchmark from which Capital Bank determines the floating interest rates chargeable on various loans to borrowers with varying degrees of creditworthiness, and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Bank has made no representations whatsoever that the "Prime Rate" is the interest rate actually offered by Capital Bank to borrowers of any particular creditworthiness. Time shall be of the essence with respect to the terms of this Note. This Note cannot be changed or modified orally. Bank shall have the right unilaterally to correct patent errors or omissions in this Note or any other 4 Loan Document. Except as otherwise required by law or by the provisions of this Note or any other Loan Document, payments received by Bank hereunder shall be applied first against expenses and indemnities, next against interest accrued on the Loan, and next in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, except that from and after any default under this Note, Bank may apply such payments in any order of priority determined by Bank in its exclusive judgment. Borrower shall receive immediate credit on payments only if made in the form of either a federal wire transfer of cleared funds or a check drawn on an account maintained with Bank containing sufficient available funds. Otherwise, Borrower shall receive credit on payments after clearance, which shall be no sooner than the first Business Day after receipt of payment by Bank. For purposes of determining interest accruing under this Note, principal shall be deemed outstanding on the date payment is credited by Bank. If any payment required to be made pursuant to this Note is not received on the due date, Bank shall have the right, at its election, to charge any of Borrower's accounts at Bank with the amount of such payment. Except as otherwise required by the provisions of this Note or any other Loan Document, any notice required to be given to any Obligor shall be deemed sufficient if made personally or if mailed, postage prepaid, to such Obligor's address as it appears in this Note (or, if none appears, to any address for such Obligor then registered in Bank's records). Bank may grant participations in all or any portion of, and may assign all or any part of Bank's rights under, this Note. Bank may disclose to any such participant or assignee any and all information held by or known to Bank at any time with respect to any Obligor. If Borrower or any other Obligor is a partnership, then all general partners thereof shall be liable jointly and severally for all obligations under this Note and for all other covenants, agreements, undertakings and obligations of Borrower in connection with the Loan, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the partnership laws of the State of Florida. All of the terms of this Note shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon each and every one of the Obligors and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns, jointly and severally. BANK AND BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE AND ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS, (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE BANK IN EXTENDING CREDIT TO THE BORROWER, THAT THE BANK WOULD NOT HAVE EXTENDED SUCH CREDIT WITHOUT THIS JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND THAT BORROWER HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY AN ATTORNEY OR HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND UNDERSTANDS THE LEGAL EFFECT OF THIS WAIVER.

Interest shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed and an assumed year of 360 days. Borrower and all endorsers, sureties, guarantors and any other persons liable or to become liable with respect to the loan evidenced by this Note (the "Loan") are each included in the term "Obligors" as used in this Note. Provided no default exists under this Note or any of the other "Loan Documents" (as hereinafter defined), for the period ending one (1) year following the date of this Note the Borrower shall have the right to borrow (but not reborrow) up to the face amount of this Note in up to two (2) installments (each installment is hereinafter referred to as a "Tranche"). Each Tranche shall be due and payable in money of the United States as follows: (a) Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Tranche shall be paid in monthly installments commencing on the first (1st) day of the month following the funding of such Tranche and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter. (b) Principal, in an amount necessary to fully amortize such Tranche over forty-eight (48) months, shall be paid in monthly installments commencing on the first (1st) day of the month following the initial funding of such Tranche and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter. The outstanding principal balance together with accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable four (4) years following the initial funding of such Tranche. The failure of the Borrower to draw down the amount of this Note within one (1) year following the date hereof shall render null and void the ability of the Borrower to draw any additional sums hereunder. Borrower shall pay to Bank a late charge of five percent (5%) of any payment not received by Bank within fifteen (15) days of its due date; provided, however, if said fifteen (15) day period ends on a day other than a day on which Bank is open for Business (a "Business Day"), then the aforedescribed late charge shall be payable if the payment is not received by the last Business Day within said fifteen (15) day period. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty. Borrower shall pay all amounts owing under this Note in full when due without set-off, counterclaim deduction or withholding for any reason whatsoever. If any payment falls due on a day other than a Business Day, then 1 such payment shall instead be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue accordingly. Any payment received by Bank after 1:00 p.m. shall not be credited against the indebtedness under this Note until at least the next succeeding Business Day. If default be made in the payment of any sums payable pursuant to the terms of this Note, or if default or other event causing the acceleration of this Note occur under the Loan Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated April 10, 1997, as amended by the First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated even date herewith (the "Loan Agreement") or under the Security Agreement securing this Note between Borrower and Bank dated April 10, 1997, as amended by the First Amendment to Security Agreement dated even date herewith (the "Security Agreement"), the Continuing Guaranty by Aquagenix, Inc. ("Guarantor") dated April 10, 1997, as reaffirmed by Reaffirmation of Guaranty dated even date herewith ("Guaranty"), the Promissory Note in the amount of $250,000 dated April 10, 1997, executed by Guarantor (the "Term Note"), the Term Promissory Note in the amount of $200,000 executed by Borrower in favor of the Bank dated even date herewith ("200,000 Term Note"), or any other instrument or document executed in connection with the Loan (this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Guaranty, the Term Note, the $200,000 Term Note, and all such instruments and documents, including, without limitation, any guaranties, agreements, UCC-1 financing statements, security agreements, assignments and other documents securing this Note, are referred to in this Note as the "Loan Documents") (an "Event of Default"), then or at any time thereafter at the option of Bank, the whole of the principal sum then remaining unpaid hereunder, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other sums owing under the Loan Documents, shall immediately become due and payable without notice and Bank shall be entitled to pursue any and all rights and remedies provided by applicable law and/or under the terms of this Note or any other Loan Document, all of which shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Bank, at its option, may at any time declare any or all other liabilities of any Obligor to Bank immediately due and payable (notwithstanding any contrary provisions thereof) without demand or notice of any kind. In addition, Bank shall have the right to set off any and all sums owed to any Obligor by Bank in any capacity (whether or not then due) against the Loan and/or against any other liabilities of any Obligor to Bank. From and after an Event of Default, and regardless of whether the Bank also elects to accelerate the maturity of this Note, the entire principal remaining unpaid hereunder shall bear an augmented annual interest rate equal to the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum, or (ii) the highest applicable lawful rate. Failure to exercise any and all rights or remedies Bank may in the event of any such default be entitled to shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such rights or remedies in the event of any subsequent default, whether of the same or different nature. No waiver of any right or remedy by Bank shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by Bank, nor shall any waiver on one occasion apply to any future occasion. In no event shall any agreed or actual exaction charged, reserved or taken as an advance or forbearance by Bank as consideration for the Loan exceed the limits (if any) imposed or provided by the law applicable from time to time to the Loan for the use or detention of money or for forbearance in seeking its collection, and Bank hereby waives any right to demand such excess. If the floating rate of interest based on the Prime Rate should increase above such maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law (if any), then notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Note or any other Loan Document and without necessity of further agreement or notice by Bank or any Obligor, the unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall thereupon bear interest at such maximum 2 lawful rate. If the floating interest should thereafter decrease below such maximum lawful rate, the Loan shall nevertheless continue to bear interest at such maximum lawful rate until Bank, receives the full amount of interest delayed by the application of such maximum lawful rate under this paragraph, at which time the Loan shall once again bear interest at the then applicable floating interest rate. In the event that the interest provisions of this Note or any exactions provided for in this Note or any other Loan Document shall result at any time or for any reason in an effective rate of interest that transcends the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law (if any), then without further agreement or notice the obligation to be fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to such limit and all sums received by Bank in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest shall be applied against the principal of the Loan immediately upon Bank's receipt thereof, with the same force and effect as though the payor had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and Bank had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment or prepayments. During any time that the Loan bears interest at the maximum lawful rate (whether by application of this paragraph, the default provisions of this Note or otherwise), interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and the actual number of days in the respective calendar year. The interest rate charged is authorized by Florida Statutes, Chapter 665. The Obligors hereby severally: (a) waive demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, suit against or joinder of any other person, and all other requirements necessary to charge or hold any Obligor liable with respect to the Loan; (b) waive any right to immunity from any such action or proceeding and waive any immunity or exemption of any property, wherever located, from garnishment, levy, execution, seizure or attachment prior to or in execution of judgment, or sale under execution or other process for the collection of debts; (c) waive any right to interpose any set-off or non-compulsory counterclaim or to plead laches or any statute of limitations as a defense in any such action or proceeding and waive (to the extent lawfully waivable) all provisions and requirements of law for the benefit of any Obligor now or hereafter in force; (d) submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Florida for purposes of any such action or proceeding; (e) agree that the venue of any such action or proceeding may be laid in Dade County, Florida (in addition to any county in which any collateral for the Loan is located), and waive any claim that the same is an inconvenient forum; (f) stipulate that service of process in any such action or proceeding shall be properly made if mailed by any form of registered or certified mail (airmail if international), postage prepaid, to the address then registered in Bank's records for the Obligor(s) so served, and that any process so served shall be effective ten (10) days after mailing; and (g) agree that the death or mental or physical incapacity of any Obligor that is a natural person, or the dissolution or merger or consolidation or termination of the existence of any Obligor that is a business entity (or if any person controlling such Obligor shall take any action authorizing or leading to the same), shall at Bank's option, which option may be exercised then or at any time thereafter, result in the Loan being then due and payable in full. No provision of this Note shall limit Bank's right to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring any such action or proceeding in any other competent jurisdiction. The Obligors hereby severally consent and agree that, at any time and from time to time without notice, (i) Bank and the owners(s) of any collateral then securing the Loan may agree to release, increase, change, substitute or exchange all or any part of such collateral, and (ii) Bank and any person(s) then primarily liable for the Loan may agree to renew, extend or compromise the Loan in whole or in part or to modify the terms of the Loan in any respect whatsoever; no such release, increase, change, substitution, exchange, renewal, extension, compromise or modification shall release or affect in any way the liability of any Obligor, and the Obligors hereby severally waive any and all defenses and claims 3 whatsoever based thereon. Until Bank receives all sums due under this Note and all other Loan Documents in immediately available funds, no Obligor shall be released from liability with respect to the Loan unless Bank expressly releases such Obligor in a writing signed by Bank, and Bank's release of any Obligor(s) shall not release any other person liable with respect to the Loan. The Obligors jointly and severally agree to pay all filing fees and similar charges and all costs incurred by Bank in collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure the Loan, including reasonable attorney's fees, whether or not involving litigation and/or appellate, administrative or Bankruptcy proceedings. The Obligors jointly and severally agree to pay any documentary stamp taxes, intangibles taxes or other taxes (except for federal or Florida franchise or income taxes based on Bank's net income) which may now or hereafter apply to this Note or the Loan or any security therefor, and the Obligors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against any liability, costs, reasonable attorney's fees, penalties, interest or expenses relating to any such taxes, as and when the same may be incurred. The Obligors jointly and severally agree to pay on demand, and to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against, any and all present or future taxes (other than income tax of Bank), levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings imposed in connection with the Loan by the laws or governmental authorities of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida or the United States of America, and all payments to Bank under this Note shall be made free and clear thereof and without deduction therefor. This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, except that federal law shall govern to the extent that it may permit Bank to charge, from time to time, interest on the Loan at a rate higher than may be permissible under applicable Florida law. Any provision of this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction only, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent that the Obligors may lawfully waive any law that would otherwise invalidate any provision of this Note, each of them hereby waives the same, to the end that this Note shall be valid and binding and enforceable against each of them in accordance with all its terms. If this Note is signed by more than one person, then the term "Borrower" as used in this Note shall refer to all such persons jointly and severally, and all promises, agreements, covenants waivers, consents, representations, warranties and other provisions in this Note are made by and shall be binding upon each and every undersigned person, jointly and severally.

Whenever used in this Note, words in the singular include the plural, words in the plural include the singular, and pronouns of any gender include the other genders, all as may be appropriate. The "Prime Rate" is a base reference rate of interest adopted by Capital Bank as a general benchmark from which Capital Bank determines the floating interest rates chargeable on various loans to borrowers 4 with varying degrees of creditworthiness, and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Bank has made no representations whatsoever that the "Prime Rate" is the interest rate actually offered by Capital Bank to borrowers of any particular creditworthiness.

Bank shall have the right unilaterally to correct patent errors or omissions in this Note or any other Loan Document.

Borrower shall receive immediate credit on payments only if made in the form of either a federal wire transfer of cleared funds or a check drawn on an account maintained with Bank containing sufficient available funds. Otherwise, Borrower shall receive credit on payments after clearance, which shall be no sooner than the first Business Day after receipt of payment by Bank.

If any payment required to be made pursuant to this Note is not received on the due date, Bank shall have the right, at its election, to charge any of Borrower's accounts at Bank with the amount of such payment. Except as otherwise required by the provisions of this Note or any other Loan Document, any notice required to be given to any Obligor shall be deemed sufficient if made personally or if mailed, postage prepaid, to such Obligor's address as it appears in this Note (or, if none appears, to any address for such Obligor then registered in Bank's records). Bank may grant participations in all or any portion of, and may assign all or any part of Bank's rights under, this Note.

All of the terms of this Note shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon each and every one of the Obligors and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns, jointly and severally.
