Without limitation, Mortgagee, at its election, on any Event of Default under this Mortgage, will have all rights, powers, privileges, and remedies from time to time available to a secured party under the provisions of the Code with respect to such property. Notwithstanding any provision of this Mortgage to the contrary, Mortgagor may remove, dispose of, or both remove and dispose of, in any manner, any portion of the Tangible Property and have and retain the proceeds from any such disposition to Mortgagor's exclusive use and benefit, as long as (i) such removal and/or disposition will not materially and adversely affect the operation of the Mortgage Property for its intended purposes; and (ii) Mortgagor immediately furnishes Mortgagee with substitute collateral of equal or better quality and value; and (iii) an Event of Default has not occurred under this Mortgage; and (iv) any and all damage to the Land, Improvements, and other Tangible Property resulting from such removal and/or substitution, is promptly repaired at Mortgagor's cost; and (v) such disposition is not as security for the performance of an obligation; and (vi) Mortgagee's prior written consent is obtained for any removal that requires any structural alterations or repairs to the Land, the Improvements, or both, or any removal of any Tangible Property that, singly or in the aggregate, has a replacement cost of more than $5,000.00 or $20,000.00 in the aggregate except in connection with direct substitutions or replacements requiring no structural alterations or repairs. 3.1 SECURITY.

The parties instead intend and agree that, unless and until Mortgagee affirmatively elects otherwise, the inclusion of any or all such items in any such financing statement is for the sole purpose of Mortgagee's protection only if, as, and when it is or may be deter-mined that notice of Mortgagee's priority of interest in any or all such property, to be effective against a particular class of persons (including the federal government and any subdivisions or entity of the federal government), must be perfected in the manner required by the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Florida. 4. AFTER-ACQUIRED PROPERTY. Without the necessity of any further act of ------------------------ Mortgagor or Mortgagee, the lien of, and security interest created by, this Mortgage automatically will extend to and include (a) any and all renewals, replacements, substitutions, accessions, proceeds, products, or additions of or to the Security; and (b) any and all money and other property that from time to time, either by delivery to Mortgagee or by any instrument (including this Mortgage), may be subjected to such lien and security interest by Mortgagor, or by anyone on behalf of Mortgagor, or with the consent of Mortgagor, or that otherwise may come into the possession or otherwise be subject to the control of Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage. 5.

Other than those liens, encumbrances and security interests of record ----- or created by Mortgagee, or otherwise previously disclosed to Mortgagee, Mortgagor will not create, or permit to be created or remain, without Mortgagee's prior written consent, and will promptly discharge, any and all liens or encumbrances on, or security interests in, the Security or any combination or part thereof created by Mortgagor, whether consensual, common law, statutory, voluntary, involuntary, or arising by operation of law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor may contest the amount, validity, and enforceability of any involuntary or nonconsensual lien, encumbrance, or security interest, including those arising by operation of law, in the manner provided in Paragraph 10, with the exception of such liens as are in existence as of the date hereof or are created by the action or inaction of Mortgagee. 7.

If Mortgagor fails to undertake the defense of any such claim in a timely manner, or fails to furnish Mortgagee with reasonable security for such defense, or, in Mortgagee's sole determination, fails to prosecute such defense with due diligence and by appropriate proceedings, Mortgagee is authorized to take, at the expense of Mortgagor, all necessary and proper action in defense of any such claim, including the retention of legal counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of claims, including payment of all costs and reasonable attorneys' and legal assistants' fees.

Mortgagor will not claim, take, or insist on any benefit or advantage of any present or future law providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Security, or any portion, before any sale or sales that may be made under or by virtue of this Mortgage.

Receipt by Mortgagee of any payment required to be made pursuant to this Mortgage, with knowledge of the breach of any provision of this Mortgage, will not constitute a waiver of such breach unless agreed otherwise by Mortgagee in writing. In addition to all other remedies provided in this Mortgage, Mortgagee will be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to injunctive relief in the case of a violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the provisions of this Mortgage, or to an order coercing performance of any of the provisions of any of the foregoing. 18.

NO TRANSFER. Intentionally omitted. ----------- 21. SATISFACTION.
