Item 1.01 - Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 2.03 - Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On August 26, 2005, The Goldfield Corporation ("Goldfield" or the "Company"), the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, Southeast Power Corporation ("Southeast Power"), Bayswater Development Corporation ("Bayswater"), Pineapple House of Brevard, Inc. ("Pineapple House") and Oak Park of Brevard, Inc. ("Oak Park") and Branch Banking and Trust Company (the "Bank"), entered into three loan agreements and a series of related ancillary agreements. The three loan agreements are as follows:

(i) a Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Bank agreed to make a certain revolving line of credit loan available to the Company up to the maximum principal amount of $1.0 million (the "Working Capital Loan"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein (the "Working Capital Loan Agreement"). The proceeds of the Working Capital Loan will be used by the Company for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes;

(ii) a Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Bank agreed to make a certain revolving line of credit loan available to Southeast Power up to the maximum principal amount of $2.0 million (the "Equipment Loan"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein (the "Equipment Loan Agreement"). This line of credit replaced a credit facility with Wachovia Bank, N.A. ("Wachovia") in the maximum principal amount of $2.6 million, under which the Company was permitted to borrow funds during the draw period of January 30, 2004 through September 30, 2004. The proceeds of the Equipment Loan will be used by the Company to refinance the existing balance of the Wachovia credit facility. Future draws are at the request of the Company and the discretion of the Bank.

(iii) a Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Bank agreed to make a certain revolving line of credit loan available to the Company up to the maximum principal amount of $6.0 million (the "Real Estate Loan," and, together with the Working Capital Loan and the Equipment Loan, the "Loans"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein (the "Real Estate Loan Agreement," and, together with the Working Capital Loan Agreement and the Equipment Loan Agreement, the "Loan Agreements"). This line of credit replaced a revolving line of credit with Wachovia Bank, N.A. in the maximum principal amount of $6.0 million that was scheduled to expire May 15, 2006. The proceeds of the Real Estate Loan will be used by the Company for financing the costs of certain qualified real estate projects in Florida.

2

Each of the Company, Southeast Power, Bayswater, Pineapple House and Oak Park, other than the entity that entered into the applicable Loan Agreement as borrower, has agreed to guarantee the borrower's obligations under each of the Loan Agreements, and is hereinafter referred to as a "Guarantor."

The Working Capital and Real Estate Loans will mature, and all amounts due under the Working Capital Loan Agreement and the Real Estate Loan Agreement (the "Company Loan Agreements") and the related Revolving Credit Promissory Notes to the Bank pursuant to each of the Company Loan Agreements of even date therewith (the "Company Notes"), will be due and payable in full on August 26, 2006, unless extended by the Bank at its discretion. Until maturity, the Company must make monthly payments of interest to the Bank in arrears at interest rates determined and upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the Company Notes and the Company Loan Agreements. Advances under each of the Company Loan Agreements will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to One Month LIBOR (as defined in the Company Notes) plus 1.800%, which will be adjusted monthly.

The Equipment Loan will mature, and all amounts due under the related Equipment Loan Agreement and the related Revolving Credit Promissory Note to the Bank pursuant to the Equipment Loan Agreement of even date therewith (the "Equipment Note"), will be due and payable in full on August 26, 2008. Until maturity, Southeast Power must make monthly payments of $72,222 plus interest to the Bank in arrears at interest rates determined and upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the Equipment Note and the Equipment Loan Agreement. Advances under the Equipment Loan Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to One Month LIBOR (as defined in the Equipment Note) plus 1.800%, which will be adjusted monthly.

Among other covenants and agreements customary for credit facilities of this type that are set forth in the Loan Agreements, until payment in full of all obligations owing thereunder, the Company must maintain the following financial ratios or measures determined or computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles with respect to the Company on a consolidated basis: (a) a minimum Tangible Net Worth (as defined below) of not less than $14,500,000 as of the date of the Loan Agreements and throughout the terms of the Loans, (b) borrowings outside of those from the Bank other than accounts payable and other obligations incurred during the normal course of business must not exceed in the aggregate the sum of $500,000.00, excluding purchase card debt, within a fiscal year without the prior written consent of the Bank; and (c) a maximum debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio, to be calculated by dividing total liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company by the Tangible Net Worth, of 2.0:1. "Tangible Net Worth" is defined in the Loan Agreements as net worth, minus goodwill and assets representing claims on stockholders or affiliated entities. In addition, the Company, Southeast Power, Bayswater, Pineapple House, Oak Park and each of their respective subsidiaries agree to maintain their primary deposit relationship with the Bank.

At the Bank's option, the Company's obligations to the Bank with respect to each of the Loans may be cross-defaulted with all loans, contracts or agreements of the Company, Southeast Power, Bayswater, Pineapple House, Oak Park or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates owed to the Bank or its affiliates.

3

The payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest on each of the Company Notes and the Equipment Note, and performance of any and all other obligations of the Company under each of the Loan Agreements and related agreements ("Loan Documents") with the Bank, is irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each of the Guarantors pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of each certain Guaranty dated August 26, 2005 by each of the Guarantors to the Bank (collectively, the "Guaranty Agreements").

The obligations of Southeast Power and the Guarantors pursuant to the Equipment Loan Agreement and related Loan Documents is secured by a perfected security interest in that certain equipment referenced in the Security Agreement between Southeast Power and the Bank dated August 29, 2005. As security for the Real Estate Loan, the Company and the subsidiary of Company and/or Guarantor which has legal title to the real property to be developed as a qualified real estate project under the Real Estate Loan Agreement has agreed to execute and deliver to the Bank an Agreement Not to Encumber or Transfer Property, in form satisfactory to the Bank.

The foregoing description of the Loan Documents does not purport to summarize all of the provisions of the Loan Documents and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Documents filed as Exhibit 10-1, Exhibit 10-2, Exhibit 10-3, Exhibit 10-4, Exhibit 10-5, Exhibit 10-6, Exhibit 10-7 and Exhibit 10-8 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.

8. Guaranty of the Loan. The note and all obligations of the loan as set forth in the Loan Documents shall be guaranteed by the subsidiaries of The Goldfield Corporation with the exception of those entities which are no longer operating and which do not maintain total assets in excess of $250,000.00. Upon the request of Bank, the Borrower shall obtain such additional executed and binding guaranty agreements, in form and content acceptable to the Bank, as may be required for Borrower to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.

9. Conditions for Disbursements. A qualified real estate project ("qualified project") shall satisfy the following requirements which shall also be requirements for each disbursement under the Loan:

Presales with a minimum ten percent (10%) non-refundable deposit are to be at a level sufficient to cover all project costs less invested equity in each qualified project.

(2) The funds available on the line at the time of the initial draw for a particular project are sufficient to provide for all the remaining funding necessary to complete the qualified project and deliver the property under the terms of the presales. All of the Net Proceeds from the sale of a qualified project (or a portion thereof) shall be applied against the principal balance due on the note as a principal reduction to the line of credit until such time as all of the proceeds advanced for the particular project have been repaid.

(3) The anticipated gross sales prices for the units in all projects are sufficient to provide Borrower or its subsidiaries with a minimum of a 10% return on the total costs of all projects.

5

(4) Draws for all projects are not to exceed 100% of the Total Costs of all the projects.

(5) The construction contract for the qualified projects to be financed hereunder are to be fixed price, and supported by payment and performance bonds for the full cost of construction. The contract may include allowances for particular items such as appliances and flooring which together do not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total contract value. Bank reserves the right to approve the format of said bonds, as well as the quality of the insurer.

(6) The general contractor(s) in charge of the construction of the qualified projects must have a high level of experience in the construction of qualified projects being constructed by Borrower. M.H. Williams Construction, Inc. is acceptable to the Bank as a qualified contractor for the construction of the current and planned condominium projects of the Borrower.

(7) Should any construction liens be filed against the real property being developed as qualified projects, Borrower shall have seventy-five (75) days from receipt of said lien to obtain a release of same, or bond the lien off according to Florida Statutes.

(8) On a quarterly basis, Borrower is to confirm that Borrower is in compliance with all terms of this Loan Agreement.

(9) Should Borrower fail to satisfy the financial requirements as set forth hereunder, it shall, within thirty (30) days of request by Bank, pay such amounts to Bank as may be required to cause Borrower to return to compliance with the terms hereof. Failure to pay such amounts, shall be a default hereunder, and under the note and all other documents evidencing or securing same.

(10) An agreement not to encumber the real estate associated with the qualified project is to be recorded in the public records of the appropriate county in Florida.

10. Events of Default. The Bank shall have the option to declare the entire unpaid amount of the loan and accrued interest immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, or notice of any kind, if any of the following events occurs before the loan is fully repaid:

(a) Any payment of principal or interest on the loan is not made when due.

PROMISSORY NOTE

$1,000,000.00 August 26, 2005

---------, -----

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, THE GOLDFIELD CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Maker") promises to pay to the order of BRANCH BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY (hereinafter called the "Bank" or, together with any other holder of this note, the "Holder") or order, at its place of business at 6430 North Wickham Road, Melbourne, Florida 32940, or at such other place as the Holder of this Note may designate in writing, the principal sum of ONE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00), together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, in lawful money of the United States, which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of said payment, said principal and interest to be payable as set forth below.

1. INTEREST RATE. The Interest Rate shall equal the adjusted LIBOR Rate, as defined below:

a. Adjusted LIBOR Rate means a rate of interest per annum equal to the sum obtained (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1.0%) by adding (i) the One Month LIBOR plus (ii) one and eight one-tenths percent (1.800%) per annum, which shall be adjusted monthly on the first day of each month for each LIBOR Interest Period. If the first day of any month falls on a date when the Bank is closed, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be determined as of the last preceding business day. The Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be adjusted for any change in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage so that Bank shall receive the same yield. The interest rate shall not exceed a fixed maximum rate of 99.000 % and will not decrease below a minimum rate of 0.00 %.

b. One Month LIBOR means the average rate (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1.0%) quoted on Bloomberg Screen MMR2 or page 3750 (or such replacement page) of the Telerate Service on the determination date for deposits in U.S. Dollars offered in the London interbank market for one month, or if the above method for determining LIBOR shall not be available, the rate quoted in The Wall Street Journal, a rate determined by a substitute method of determination agreed on by Borrower and Bank; provided, if such agreement is not reached within a reasonable period of time (in Bank's judgment), a rate reasonably determined by Bank in its sole discretion as a rate being paid, as of the determination date, by first class banking organizations (as determined by Bank) in the London interbank market for U.S. Dollar deposits.

c. LIBOR Advance means the term loan advances made by Bank to Borrower evidenced by this Note upon which the adjusted LIBOR Rate of interest shall apply.

d. LIBOR Interest Period means a period of one calendar month as may be elected by the Borrower applicable to any LIBOR Advance which shall begin on first day of any month notwithstanding the maturity date of this Note; provided, however, that a


LIBOR Interest Period may be less than one calendar month in and only in the calendar month in which the Note originates or matures.

e. LIBOR Reserve Percentage means the maximum aggregate rate at which reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal supplemental or emergency reserves) are required to be maintained under Regulation D by member banks of the Federal Reserve System with respect to dollar funding in the London interbank market. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the LIBOR Reserve Percentage shall reflect any other reserves required to be maintained by such member banks by reason of any applicable regulatory change against (i) any category of liability which includes deposits by reference to which the Adjusted LIBOR Rate is to be determined or (ii) any category of extensions of credit or other assets related to LIBOR.

f. Standard Rate means, for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary to the next higher 1/100th of 1.0%) equal to the Bank's announced Prime Rate, and each change in the Standard Rate shall be effective on the date any change in the Prime Rate is publicly announced as being effective.

g. Application of Adjusted LIBOR Rate. The adjusted LIBOR Rate shall apply to the entire principal balance outstanding of a term loan for any LIBOR Interest Period.

h. Adjusted LIBOR Based Rate Protections.

(i) Inability to Determine Rate. In the event that Bank shall have determined, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding, that by reason of circumstances occurring after the date of this Note affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR on the basis provided for in this Note, Bank shall give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing or by telecopy) to Borrower of such determination, whereupon (a) no LIBOR Advance shall be made until Bank notifies Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (b) any request by Borrowers for a LIBOR Advance shall be deemed to be a request for an advance at the Standard Rate.

(ii) Illegality; Impracticability. In the event that Bank shall determine, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding, that the making, maintaining or continuance of any portion of a LIBOR Advance
(a) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by Bank with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any of the same not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (b) has become impracticable, or would cause Bank material hardship, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date of this Note materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or Bank's ability to make LIBOR Advances generally, then, and in any such event, Bank shall give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing or by telecopy) to Borrower of such determination. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of Bank to make any LIBOR Advances or to convert any portion of the loan to a LIBOR Advance shall be suspended until such notice

2

shall be withdrawn by Bank, and (y) any request by Borrower for a LIBOR Advance shall be deemed to be a request for an advance at the Standard Rate.

i. Interest Calculation. All interest shall be computed and charged for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days.

2. MATURITY DATE. August 26, 2006.

3. PAYMENTS. Interest at the Interest Rate on the principal balance of the indebtedness outstanding from time to time shall be payable beginning on September 26, 2005, and shall be payable on the 26th day of each successive month thereafter until the Maturity Date at which time all unpaid principal and interest shall be payable in full.

4. RIGHT TO SETOFF. Holder is given a lien upon and a security interest in all property of the undersigned now or at any time hereafter in the possession of Holder in any capacity whatsoever, including but not limited to any balance or share of any deposit, certificate of deposit, trust or agency account, as security for the payment of this Note and the Holder is hereby authorized to apply, on or after maturity (whether by a acceleration or otherwise) to the payment of this debt any such funds or property in possession of the Holder belonging to each Obligor, in such order of application as Holder may from time to time elect, without advance notice.

5. DEFAULT RATE. This note and all sums due hereunder shall bear interest from the date when due (without any prior notice from Holder to Maker or any Obligor), whether by lapse of time or on acceleration, and also after any judgement which may be entered against any Obligor and in favor of Holder, at the Default Rate (as hereinafter defined) until paid. The Default Rate shall be a rate of interest equal to the Bank's Prime Rate plus 5% per annum.

6. INTEREST LIMITATION. Anything in this note or any other agreements or arrangements with the undersigned in connection with the loan evidenced by this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the amount of interest due hereunder, together with all amounts reserved, charged, or taken by Holder as compensation for fees, services, or expenses incidental to the making, negotiation or collection of the loan evidenced hereby, which are deemed to be interest under applicable law, exceed the maximum rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof allowed from time to time by applicable law. If any sum is collected in excess of the applicable maximum rate of interest, the excess sum collected shall be applied to reduce the principal debt or be refunded to Maker, at Holder's option.

7. CONSENT AND WAIVER. Each Obligor (which term shall mean and include each Borrower, Maker, Guarantor, and all others who may become liable for all or any part of the obligations evidenced and secured hereby), does hereby, jointly and severally: (a) consent to any forbearance or extension of the time or manner of payment hereof and to the release of all or any part of any security held by the Holder to secure payment of this Note and to the subordination of the lien of the mortgage and any other instrument of security securing this Note as to all or any part of the property encumbered thereby, all without notice to or consent of that party; (b) agree that no course of dealing or delay or omission or forbearance on the part of the

3

Holder in exercising or enforcing any of its rights or remedies hereunder or under any instrument securing this Note shall impair or be prejudicial to any of the Holder's rights and remedies hereunder or to the enforcement hereof and that the Holder may extend, modify or postpone the time and manner of payment and performance of this Note and any instrument securing this Note, may grant forbearances and may release, wholly or partially, any security held by the Holder as security for this Note and release, partially or wholly, any person or party primarily or secondarily liable with respect to this Note, all without notice to or consent by any party primarily or secondarily liable hereunder and without thereby releasing, discharging or diminishing its rights and remedies against any other party primarily or secondarily liable hereunder; (c) waive notice of acceptance of this Note, notice of the occurrence of any default hereunder or under any instrument securing this Note and presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor and notice of protest and notices of any and all action at any time taken or omitted by the Holder in connection with this Note or any instrument securing this Note and waives all requirements necessary to hold that party to the liability of that party; (d) waive any "venue privilege" and/or "diversity of citizenship privilege" which they have now or have in the future, and do hereby specifically agree, notwithstanding the provision of any state or federal law to the contrary, that the venue for the enforcement, construction or interpretation of this note shall be the County Court, Circuit Court or Federal Court selected by the Holder hereof and they do hereby specifically waive the right to sue or be sued in the court of any other county in the State of Florida, any court in any other state or country or in any federal court, or in any state or federal administrative tribunal.

8. ATTORNEYS' FEES. All parties liable for the payment of this Note agree to pay the Holder in addition to the principal, premium and interest due and payable hereon, reasonable paralegal fees, attorneys' fees and costs, whether or not an action be brought, for the services of counsel employed after maturity or default to collect this Note or any principal or interest due hereunder, or to protect the security, if any, or enforce the performance of any other agreement contained in this Note or in any instrument of security executed in connection with the loan evidenced hereby, including, but not limited to costs, paralegal fees and attorneys' fees and costs on any trial, or appellate proceedings, or in any proceedings under the United States Bankruptcy Code or in any post judgment proceedings.

9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The failure to pay any part of the principal or interest when due on this Note or to fully perform any covenant, obligation or warranty on this or on any other liability to the Bank by any one or more of the undersigned, by any affiliate of the undersigned (as defined in 11USC Section
(101) (2)), or by any guarantor or surety of this Note (said affiliate, guarantor, or surety are herein called Obligor); or if any financial statement or other representation made to the Bank by any of the undersigned or any Obligor shall be found to be materially incorrect or incomplete; or if any of the undersigned shall fail to furnish information to the Bank sufficient to verify the identity of the undersigned as required under the USA Patriot Act; or in the event of a default under any of the Agreements or any other obligation of any of the undersigned or any Obligor; or in the event the Bank demands that the undersigned secure or provide additional security for its obligations under this Note and security deemed adequate and sufficient by the Bank is not given when demanded; or in the event one or more of the undersigned or any Obligor shall die, terminate its existence, allow the appointment of a receiver for any part of its property, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or where a proceeding under bankruptcy or insolvency laws is initiated by or against any of the undersigned

4

or any Obligor; or in the event the Bank should otherwise deem itself, its security interest, or any collateral unsafe or insecure; or should the Bank in good faith believe that the prospect of payment or other performance is impaired; or if there is an attachment, execution, or other judicial seizure of all or any portion of the Borrower's or any Obligor's assets, including an action or proceeding to seize any funds on deposit with the Bank, and such seizure is not discharged within 20 days; or if final judgment for the payment of money shall be rendered against the Borrower or any Obligor which is not covered by insurance or debt cancellation and shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 days unless such judgment or execution thereon is effectively stayed; or the termination of any guaranty agreement given in connection with this Note, then any one of the same shall be a material default hereunder and this Note and other debts due the Bank by any one or more of undersigned shall immediately become due and payable at the option of the Bank without notice or demand of any kind, which are hereby waived. From and after any event of default hereunder, interest shall accrue on the sum of the principal balance and accrued interest then outstanding at the variable rate equal to the Bank's Prime Rate plus 5% per annum ("Default Rate") until such principal and interest have been paid in full, provided that such rate shall not exceed at any time the highest rate of interest permitted by the laws of the State of Florida; and further provided that such rate shall also apply after judgment. In addition, upon default, the Bank may pursue its full legal remedies at law or equity, and the balance due hereunder may be charged against any obligation of the Bank to any party including any Obligor. Bank shall not be obligated to accept any check, money order, or other payment instrument marked "payment in full" on any disputed amount due hereunder, and Bank expressly reserves the right to reject all such payment instruments. Borrower agrees that tender of its check or other payment instrument so marked will not satisfy or discharge its obligation under this Note, disputed or otherwise, even if such check or payment instrument is inadvertently processed by Bank unless in fact such payment is in fact sufficient to pay the amount due hereunder.

10. ACCELERATION. If a default or Event of Default shall occur hereunder and such default shall continue for ten (10) days then at the option of the Holder, the entire principal sum then remaining unpaid together with any premiums and accrued interest shall immediately become due and payable without notice or demand, and said principal and premiums shall bear interest from such date at the highest legal rate permitted by law, from time to time, to be charged by Holder, it being agreed that interest not paid when due shall, at the option of the Holder, draw interest at the rate provided for in this paragraph. Failure to exercise the above options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent default. If this Note is payable upon demand, then no terms or provisions contained in this paragraph shall be deemed or interpreted to alter or abrogate the demand nature of this Note or the rights of Holder under a demand instrument.

11. OTHER REMEDIES. If a default or an Event of Default shall occur Holder shall have in addition to its remedies under this Note, Loan Agreement, and/or any other instrument securing or executed in conjunction with the loan evidenced hereby and applicable law all the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Florida and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holder shall have the right, at its option, and without notice or demand, to declare the entire amount of this Note remaining unpaid, and all other liabilities selected by Holder, immediately due and payable, less any unearned interest or other charges and any rebates required by law (it being the intention hereof that under no

5

circumstances shall Holder be entitled to receive at any time any charges not allowed or permitted by law or any interest in excess of the maximum allowed by law); to set off against this Note all money owed by Holder in any capacity to the undersigned or any guarantor hereof, whether or not due; and Holder shall be deemed to have exercised such right of setoff and to have made a charge against any such money immediately upon the occurrence of such default even though such charge is made or entered in the books of Holder subsequent thereto. Upon disposition of any collateral after the occurrence of any default, undersigned shall be and remain liable for any deficiency; and Holder shall account to undersigned for any surplus, but Holder shall have the right to apply all or any part of such surplus (or to hold the same as a reserve) against any and all other liabilities of undersigned to Holder.

12. FLORIDA LAW. This Note is executed under seal and constitutes a contract under the laws of the State of Florida, and shall be enforceable in a Court of competent jurisdiction in that State, regardless of in which State this Note is being executed.

13. HEADINGS. The headings of the paragraphs contained in this Note are for convenience of reference only and do not form a part hereof and in no way modify, interpret or construe the meaning of the parties hereto.

14. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. Documentary stamps in the amount required by Florida Law have been purchased and affixed to the Mortgage of even date which secures this Note.

15. LATE CHARGE. The undersigned promises to pay to the Holder of this note a "late charge" not to exceed an amount equal to five per cent (5%) of any principal or interest which is not paid within ten (10) days from the due date thereof to cover the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payments. Collection or acceptance by Holder of such late charge shall not constitute a waiver of any remedies of Holder provided herein. When any installment payment is past due for ten (10) or more days, subsequent payments shall first be applied to the past due balance. In addition, the undersigned shall pay to Bank a returned payment fee if the undersigned or any other obligor hereon makes any payment at any time by check or other instrument, or by any electronic means, which is returned to Bank because of nonpayment due to nonsufficient funds.

16. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) The term "Maker", as used herein, in every instance shall include the Maker's heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and assigns, and shall denote the singular and/or plural, the masculine and/or feminine, and natural and/or artificial persons whenever and wherever the context so requires or admits.

(b) This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

All payments made on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be applied first to repayment of monies paid or advanced by Holder on behalf of the Maker in accordance with the

6

terms of the Mortgage securing this Note, and thereafter shall be applied to payment of accrued interest, and lastly to payment of principal.

In the event there is any conflict in the terms and conditions of this Note and the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents executed by the Borrower or Guarantors, the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, including, but not limited to, the terms and conditions of the paragraph on Notice and Cure Period in the Loan Agreement will prevail.

The interest rate charged under this loan is authorized by Section 687.12, Florida Statutes and by Chapter 655, Florida Statutes and any applicable federal laws or regulations.

The principal balance hereof may be borrowed and re-borrowed from time to time during the term hereof in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement but may not exceed at any one time an outstanding principal balance of $1,000,000.00.

PAYMENT IN FULL OF THIS NOTE SHALL NOT RESULT IN ITS TERMINATION AS LONG AS

THE LOAN AGREEMENT IS IN EFFECT.

MAKER AND HOLDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY POST JUDGEMENT ACTIONS 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. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE HOLDER MAKING THE LOAN OR EXTENSION OF CREDIT EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE.

-------, ------

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, SOUTHEAST POWER CORPORATION, a Florida corporation ("Maker") promises to pay to the order of BRANCH BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY (hereinafter called the "Bank" or, together with any other holder of this note, the "Holder") or order, at its place of business at 6430 North Wickham Road, Melbourne, Florida 32940, or at such other place as the Holder of this Note may designate in writing, the principal sum of TWO MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00), together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, in lawful money of the United States, which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of said payment, said principal and interest to be payable as set forth below.

1. INTEREST RATE. The Interest Rate shall equal the adjusted LIBOR Rate, as defined below:

a. Adjusted LIBOR Rate means a rate of interest per annum equal to the sum obtained (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1.0%) by adding (i) the One Month LIBOR plus (ii) one and eight one-tenths percent (1.800%) per annum, which shall be adjusted monthly on the first day of each month for each LIBOR Interest Period. If the first day of any month falls on a date when the Bank is closed, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be determined as of the last preceding business day. The Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be adjusted for any change in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage so that Bank shall receive the same yield. The interest rate shall not exceed a fixed maximum rate of 99.000 % and will not decrease below a minimum rate of 0.00 %.

b. One Month LIBOR means the average rate (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1.0%) quoted on Bloomberg Screen MMR2 or page 3750 (or such replacement page) of the Telerate Service on the determination date for deposits in U.S. Dollars offered in the London interbank market for one month, or if the above method for determining LIBOR shall not be available, the rate quoted in The Wall Street Journal, a rate determined by a substitute method of determination agreed on by Borrower and Bank; provided, if such agreement is not reached within a reasonable period of time (in Bank's judgment), a rate reasonably determined by Bank in its sole discretion as a rate being paid, as of the determination date, by first class banking organizations (as determined by Bank) in the London interbank market for U.S. Dollar deposits.

c. LIBOR Advance means the term loan advances made by Bank to Borrower evidenced by this Note upon which the adjusted LIBOR Rate of interest shall apply.

d. LIBOR Interest Period means a period of one calendar month as may be elected by the Borrower applicable to any LIBOR Advance which shall begin on first day of any month notwithstanding the maturity date of this Note; provided, however, that a


LIBOR Interest Period may be less than one calendar month in and only in the calendar month in which the Note originates or matures.

e. LIBOR Reserve Percentage means the maximum aggregate rate at which reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal supplemental or emergency reserves) are required to be maintained under Regulation D by member banks of the Federal Reserve System with respect to dollar funding in the London interbank market. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the LIBOR Reserve Percentage shall reflect any other reserves required to be maintained by such member banks by reason of any applicable regulatory change against (i) any category of liability which includes deposits by reference to which the Adjusted LIBOR Rate is to be determined or (ii) any category of extensions of credit or other assets related to LIBOR.

f. Standard Rate means, for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary to the next higher 1/100th of 1.0%) equal to the Bank's announced Prime Rate, and each change in the Standard Rate shall be effective on the date any change in the Prime Rate is publicly announced as being effective.

g. Application of Adjusted LIBOR Rate. The adjusted LIBOR Rate shall apply to the entire principal balance outstanding of a term loan for any LIBOR Interest Period.

h. Adjusted LIBOR Based Rate Protections.

(i) Inability to Determine Rate. In the event that Bank shall have determined, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding, that by reason of circumstances occurring after the date of this Note affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR on the basis provided for in this Note, Bank shall give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing or by telecopy) to Borrower of such determination, whereupon (a) no LIBOR Advance shall be made until Bank notifies Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (b) any request by Borrowers for a LIBOR Advance shall be deemed to be a request for an advance at the Standard Rate.

(ii) Illegality; Impracticability. In the event that Bank shall determine, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding, that the making, maintaining or continuance of any portion of a LIBOR Advance
(a) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by Bank with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any of the same not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (b) has become impracticable, or would cause Bank material hardship, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date of this Note materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or Bank's ability to make LIBOR Advances generally, then, and in any such event, Bank shall give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing or by telecopy) to Borrower of such determination. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of Bank to make any LIBOR Advances or to convert any portion of the loan to a LIBOR Advance shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by Bank, and (y) any request by Borrower for a LIBOR Advance shall be deemed to be a request for an advance at the Standard Rate.

3

hereunder or to the enforcement hereof and that the Holder may extend, modify or postpone the time and manner of payment and performance of this Note and any instrument securing this Note, may grant forbearances and may release, wholly or partially, any security held by the Holder as security for this Note and release, partially or wholly, any person or party primarily or secondarily liable with respect to this Note, all without notice to or consent by any party primarily or secondarily liable hereunder and without thereby releasing, discharging or diminishing its rights and remedies against any other party primarily or secondarily liable hereunder; (c) waive notice of acceptance of this Note, notice of the occurrence of any default hereunder or under any instrument securing this Note and presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor and notice of protest and notices of any and all action at any time taken or omitted by the Holder in connection with this Note or any instrument securing this Note and waives all requirements necessary to hold that party to the liability of that party; (d) waive any "venue privilege" and/or "diversity of citizenship privilege" which they have now or have in the future, and do hereby specifically agree, notwithstanding the provision of any state or federal law to the contrary, that the venue for the enforcement, construction or interpretation of this note shall be the County Court, Circuit Court or Federal Court selected by the Holder hereof and they do hereby specifically waive the right to sue or be sued in the court of any other county in the State of Florida, any court in any other state or country or in any federal court, or in any state or federal administrative tribunal.

9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The failure to pay any part of the principal or interest when due on this Note or to fully perform any covenant, obligation or warranty on this or on any other liability to the Bank by any one or more of the undersigned, by any affiliate of the undersigned (as defined in 11USC Section
(101) (2)), or by any guarantor or surety of this Note (said affiliate, guarantor, or surety are herein called Obligor); or if any financial statement or other representation made to the Bank by any of the undersigned or any Obligor shall be found to be materially incorrect or incomplete; or if any of the undersigned shall fail to furnish information to the Bank sufficient to verify the identity of the undersigned as required under the USA Patriot Act; or in the event of a default under any of the Agreements or any other obligation of any of the undersigned or any Obligor; or in the event the Bank demands that the undersigned secure or provide additional security for its obligations under this Note and security deemed adequate and sufficient by the Bank is not given when demanded; or in the event one or more of the undersigned or any Obligor shall die, terminate its existence, allow the appointment of a receiver for any part of its property, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or where a proceeding under bankruptcy or insolvency laws is initiated by or against any of the undersigned or any Obligor; or in the event the Bank should otherwise deem itself, its security interest, or any collateral unsafe or insecure; or should the Bank in good faith believe that the prospect of payment or other performance is impaired; or if there is an attachment, execution, or other judicial seizure of all or any portion of the Borrower's or any Obligor's assets, including an action or proceeding to seize any funds on deposit with the Bank, and such seizure is not

4

discharged within 20 days; or if final judgment for the payment of money shall be rendered against the Borrower or any Obligor which is not covered by insurance or debt cancellation and shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 days unless such judgment or execution thereon is effectively stayed; or the termination of any guaranty agreement given in connection with this Note, then any one of the same shall be a material default hereunder and this Note and other debts due the Bank by any one or more of undersigned shall immediately become due and payable at the option of the Bank without notice or demand of any kind, which are hereby waived. From and after any event of default hereunder, interest shall accrue on the sum of the principal balance and accrued interest then outstanding at the variable rate equal to the Bank's Prime Rate plus 5% per annum ("Default Rate") until such principal and interest have been paid in full, provided that such rate shall not exceed at any time the highest rate of interest permitted by the laws of the State of Florida; and further provided that such rate shall also apply after judgment. In addition, upon default, the Bank may pursue its full legal remedies at law or equity, and the balance due hereunder may be charged against any obligation of the Bank to any party including any Obligor. Bank shall not be obligated to accept any check, money order, or other payment instrument marked "payment in full" on any disputed amount due hereunder, and Bank expressly reserves the right to reject all such payment instruments. Borrower agrees that tender of its check or other payment instrument so marked will not satisfy or discharge its obligation under this Note, disputed or otherwise, even if such check or payment instrument is inadvertently processed by Bank unless in fact such payment is in fact sufficient to pay the amount due hereunder.

10. ACCELERATION. If a default or Event of Default shall occur hereunder and such default shall continue for ten (10) days then at the option of the Holder, the entire principal sum then remaining unpaid together with any premiums and accrued interest shall immediately become due and payable without notice or demand, and said principal and premiums shall bear interest from such date at the highest legal rate permitted by law, from time to time, to be charged by Holder, it being agreed that interest not paid when due shall, at the option of the Holder, draw interest at the rate provided for in this paragraph. Failure to exercise the above options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent default. If this Note is payable upon demand, then no terms or provisions contained in this paragraph shall be deemed or interpreted to alter or abrogate the demand nature of this Note or the rights of Holder under a demand instrument.

11. OTHER REMEDIES. If a default or an Event of Default shall occur Holder shall have in addition to its remedies under this Note, Loan Agreement, and/or any other instrument securing or executed in conjunction with the loan evidenced hereby and applicable law all the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Florida and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holder shall have the right, at its option, and without notice or demand, to declare the entire amount of this Note remaining unpaid, and all other liabilities selected by Holder, immediately due and payable, less any unearned interest or other charges and any rebates required by law (it being the intention hereof that under no circumstances shall Holder be entitled to receive at any time any charges not allowed or permitted by law or any interest in excess of the maximum allowed by law); to set off against this Note all money owed by Holder in any capacity to the undersigned or any guarantor hereof, whether or not due; and Holder shall be deemed to have exercised such right of setoff and to have made a charge against any such money immediately upon the occurrence of such default even though such charge is made or entered in the books of Holder subsequent thereto. Upon disposition of any collateral after the occurrence of any default, undersigned shall be and remain liable for any deficiency; and Holder shall account to undersigned for any surplus, but Holder

5

shall have the right to apply all or any part of such surplus (or to hold the same as a reserve) against any and all other liabilities of undersigned to Holder.

12. FLORIDA LAW. This Note is executed under seal and constitutes a contract under the laws of the State of Florida, and shall be enforceable in a Court of competent jurisdiction in that State, regardless of in which State this Note is being executed.

13. HEADINGS. The headings of the paragraphs contained in this Note are for convenience of reference only and do not form a part hereof and in no way modify, interpret or construe the meaning of the parties hereto.

14. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. Documentary stamps in the amount required by Florida Law have been purchased and affixed to the Mortgage of even date which secures this Note.

15. LATE CHARGE. The undersigned promises to pay to the Holder of this note a "late charge" not to exceed an amount equal to five per cent (5%) of any principal or interest which is not paid within ten (10) days from the due date thereof to cover the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payments. Collection or acceptance by Holder of such late charge shall not constitute a waiver of any remedies of Holder provided herein. When any installment payment is past due for ten (10) or more days, subsequent payments shall first be applied to the past due balance. In addition, the undersigned shall pay to Bank a returned payment fee if the undersigned or any other obligor hereon makes any payment at any time by check or other instrument, or by any electronic means, which is returned to Bank because of nonpayment due to nonsufficient funds.

16. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) The term "Maker", as used herein, in every instance shall include the Maker's heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and assigns, and shall denote the singular and/or plural, the masculine and/or feminine, and natural and/or artificial persons whenever and wherever the context so requires or admits.

(b) This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

All payments made on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be applied first to repayment of monies paid or advanced by Holder on behalf of the Maker in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage securing this Note, and thereafter shall be applied to payment of accrued interest, and lastly to payment of principal.

In the event there is any conflict in the terms and conditions of this Note and the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents executed by the Borrower or Guarantors, the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, including, but not limited to, the terms and conditions of the paragraph on Notice and Cure Period in the Loan Agreement will prevail.

The interest rate charged under this loan is authorized by Section 687.12, Florida Statutes and by Chapter 655, Florida Statutes and any applicable federal laws or regulations.

6

The principal balance hereof may be borrowed and re-borrowed from time to time at the sole discretion of Lender during the term hereof in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement but may not exceed at any one time an outstanding principal balance of $2,000,000.00. The Lender and Borrower shall determine any additional monthly principal reductions due for any future principal advances under this Note at the time of said advances.

PAYMENT IN FULL OF THIS NOTE SHALL NOT RESULT IN ITS TERMINATION AS LONG AS

THE LOAN AGREEMENT IS IN EFFECT.

MAKER AND HOLDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY POST JUDGEMENT ACTIONS 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. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE HOLDER MAKING THE LOAN OR EXTENSION OF CREDIT EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE.

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
PROMISSORY NOTE

$6,000,000.00 August 26, 2005

-------, ------

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, THE GOLDFIELD CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Maker") promises to pay to the order of BRANCH BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY (hereinafter called the "Bank" or, together with any other holder of this note, the "Holder") or order, at its place of business at 6430 North Wickham Road, Melbourne, Florida 32940, or at such other place as the Holder of this Note may designate in writing, the principal sum of SIX MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($6,000,000.00), together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, in lawful money of the United States, which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of said payment, said principal and interest to be payable as set forth below.

1. INTEREST RATE. The Interest Rate shall equal the adjusted LIBOR Rate, as defined below:

a. Adjusted LIBOR Rate means a rate of interest per annum equal to the sum obtained (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1.0%) by adding (i) the One Month LIBOR plus (ii) one and eight one-tenths percent (1.800%) per annum, which shall be adjusted monthly on the first day of each month for each LIBOR Interest Period. If the first day of any month falls on a date when the Bank is closed, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be determined as of the last preceding business day. The Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be adjusted for any change in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage so that Bank shall receive the same yield. The interest rate shall not exceed a fixed maximum rate of 99.000 % and will not decrease below a minimum rate of 0.00 %.

b. One Month LIBOR means the average rate (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1.0%) quoted on Bloomberg Screen MMR2 or page 3750 (or such replacement page) of the Telerate Service on the determination date for deposits in U.S. Dollars offered in the London interbank market for one month, or if the above method for determining LIBOR shall not be available, the rate quoted in The Wall Street Journal, a rate determined by a substitute method of determination agreed on by Borrower and Bank; provided, if such agreement is not reached within a reasonable period of time (in Bank's judgment), a rate reasonably determined by Bank in its sole discretion as a rate being paid, as of the determination date, by first class banking organizations (as determined by Bank) in the London interbank market for U.S. Dollar deposits.

c. LIBOR Advance means the term loan advances made by Bank to Borrower evidenced by this Note upon which the adjusted LIBOR Rate of interest shall apply.


d. LIBOR Interest Period means a period of one calendar month as may be elected by the Borrower applicable to any LIBOR Advance which shall begin on first day of any month notwithstanding the maturity date of this Note; provided, however, that a LIBOR Interest Period may be less than one calendar month in and only in the calendar month in which the Note originates or matures.

e. LIBOR Reserve Percentage means the maximum aggregate rate at which reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal supplemental or emergency reserves) are required to be maintained under Regulation D by member banks of the Federal Reserve System with respect to dollar funding in the London interbank market. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the LIBOR Reserve Percentage shall reflect any other reserves required to be maintained by such member banks by reason of any applicable regulatory change against (i) any category of liability which includes deposits by reference to which the Adjusted LIBOR Rate is to be determined or (ii) any category of extensions of credit or other assets related to LIBOR.

f. Standard Rate means, for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary to the next higher 1/100th of 1.0%) equal to the Bank's announced Prime Rate, and each change in the Standard Rate shall be effective on the date any change in the Prime Rate is publicly announced as being effective.

g. Application of Adjusted LIBOR Rate. The adjusted LIBOR Rate shall apply to the entire principal balance outstanding of a term loan for any LIBOR Interest Period.

h. Adjusted LIBOR Based Rate Protections.

(i) Inability to Determine Rate. In the event that Bank shall have determined, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding, that by reason of circumstances occurring after the date of this Note affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR on the basis provided for in this Note, Bank shall give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing or by telecopy) to Borrower of such determination, whereupon (a) no LIBOR Advance shall be made until Bank notifies Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (b) any request by Borrowers for a LIBOR Advance shall be deemed to be a request for an advance at the Standard Rate.

(ii) Illegality; Impracticability. In the event that Bank shall determine, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding, that the making, maintaining or continuance of any portion of a LIBOR Advance
(a) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by Bank with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any of the same not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (b) has become impracticable, or would cause Bank material hardship, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date of this Note materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or Bank's ability to make LIBOR Advances generally, then, and in any such event, Bank shall give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing or by telecopy) to Borrower of such determination. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of Bank to make any LIBOR Advances or to convert any portion of the loan to a LIBOR Advance shall be suspended until such notice

2

shall be withdrawn by Bank, and (y) any request by Borrower for a LIBOR Advance shall be deemed to be a request for an advance at the Standard Rate.

i. Interest Calculation. All interest shall be computed and charged for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days.

2. MATURITY DATE. August 26, 2006.

3. PAYMENTS. Interest at the Interest Rate on the principal balance of the indebtedness outstanding from time to time shall be payable beginning on September 26, 2005, and shall be payable on the 26th day of each successive month thereafter until the Maturity Date at which time all unpaid principal and interest shall be payable in full.

4. RIGHT TO SETOFF. Holder is given a lien upon and a security interest in all property of the undersigned now or at any time hereafter in the possession of Holder in any capacity whatsoever, including but not limited to any balance or share of any deposit, certificate of deposit, trust or agency account, as security for the payment of this Note and the Holder is hereby authorized to apply, on or after maturity (whether by a acceleration or otherwise) to the payment of this debt any such funds or property in possession of the Holder belonging to each Obligor, in such order of application as Holder may from time to time elect, without advance notice.

5. DEFAULT RATE. This note and all sums due hereunder shall bear interest from the date when due (without any prior notice from Holder to Maker or any Obligor), whether by lapse of time or on acceleration, and also after any judgement which may be entered against any Obligor and in favor of Holder, at the Default Rate (as hereinafter defined) until paid. The Default Rate shall be a rate of interest equal to the Bank's Prime Rate plus 5% per annum.

6. INTEREST LIMITATION. Anything in this note or any other agreements or arrangements with the undersigned in connection with the loan evidenced by this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the amount of interest due hereunder, together with all amounts reserved, charged, or taken by Holder as compensation for fees, services, or expenses incidental to the making, negotiation or collection of the loan evidenced hereby, which are deemed to be interest under applicable law, exceed the maximum rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof allowed from time to time by applicable law. If any sum is collected in excess of the applicable maximum rate of interest, the excess sum collected shall be applied to reduce the principal debt or be refunded to Maker, at Holder's option.

7. CONSENT AND WAIVER. Each Obligor (which term shall mean and include each Borrower, Maker, Guarantor, and all others who may become liable for all or any part of the obligations evidenced and secured hereby), does hereby, jointly and severally: (a) consent to any forbearance or extension of the time or manner of payment hereof and to the release of all or any part of any security held by the Holder to secure payment of this Note and to the subordination of the lien of the mortgage and any other instrument of security securing this Note as to all or any part of the property encumbered thereby, all without notice to or consent of that party; (b) agree that no course of dealing or delay or omission or forbearance on the part of the Holder in exercising or enforcing any of its rights or remedies hereunder or under any instrument securing this Note shall impair or be prejudicial to any of the Holder's rights and remedies hereunder or to the enforcement hereof and that the Holder may extend, modify or postpone the

3

time and manner of payment and performance of this Note and any instrument securing this Note, may grant forbearances and may release, wholly or partially, any security held by the Holder as security for this Note and release, partially or wholly, any person or party primarily or secondarily liable with respect to this Note, all without notice to or consent by any party primarily or secondarily liable hereunder and without thereby releasing, discharging or diminishing its rights and remedies against any other party primarily or secondarily liable hereunder; (c) waive notice of acceptance of this Note, notice of the occurrence of any default hereunder or under any instrument securing this Note and presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor and notice of protest and notices of any and all action at any time taken or omitted by the Holder in connection with this Note or any instrument securing this Note and waives all requirements necessary to hold that party to the liability of that party; (d) waive any "venue privilege" and/or "diversity of citizenship privilege" which they have now or have in the future, and do hereby specifically agree, notwithstanding the provision of any state or federal law to the contrary, that the venue for the enforcement, construction or interpretation of this note shall be the County Court, Circuit Court or Federal Court selected by the Holder hereof and they do hereby specifically waive the right to sue or be sued in the court of any other county in the State of Florida, any court in any other state or country or in any federal court, or in any state or federal administrative tribunal.

8. ATTORNEYS' FEES. All parties liable for the payment of this Note agree to pay the Holder in addition to the principal, premium and interest due and payable hereon, reasonable paralegal fees, attorneys' fees and costs, whether or not an action be brought, for the services of counsel employed after maturity or default to collect this Note or any principal or interest due hereunder, or to protect the security, if any, or enforce the performance of any other agreement contained in this Note or in any instrument of security executed in connection with the loan evidenced hereby, including, but not limited to costs, paralegal fees and attorneys' fees and costs on any trial, or appellate proceedings, or in any proceedings under the United States Bankruptcy Code or in any post judgment proceedings.

9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The failure to pay any part of the principal or interest when due on this Note or to fully perform any covenant, obligation or warranty on this or on any other liability to the Bank by any one or more of the undersigned, by any affiliate of the undersigned (as defined in 11USC Section
(101) (2)), or by any guarantor or surety of this Note (said affiliate, guarantor, or surety are herein called Obligor); or if any financial statement or other representation made to the Bank by any of the undersigned or any Obligor shall be found to be materially incorrect or incomplete; or if any of the undersigned shall fail to furnish information to the Bank sufficient to verify the identity of the undersigned as required under the USA Patriot Act; or in the event of a default under any of the Agreements or any other obligation of any of the undersigned or any Obligor; or in the event the Bank demands that the undersigned secure or provide additional security for its obligations under this Note and security deemed adequate and sufficient by the Bank is not given when demanded; or in the event one or more of the undersigned or any Obligor shall die, terminate its existence, allow the appointment of a receiver for any part of its property, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or where a proceeding under bankruptcy or insolvency laws is initiated by or against any of the undersigned or any Obligor; or in the event the Bank should otherwise deem itself, its security interest, or any collateral unsafe or insecure; or should the Bank in good faith believe that the prospect of payment or other performance is impaired; or if there is an attachment, execution, or other judicial seizure of all or any portion of the Borrower's or any Obligor's assets, including an action or proceeding to seize any funds on deposit with the Bank, and such seizure is not discharged within 20 days; or if final judgment for the payment of money shall be rendered

4

against the Borrower or any Obligor which is not covered by insurance or debt cancellation and shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 days unless such judgment or execution thereon is effectively stayed; or the termination of any guaranty agreement given in connection with this Note, then any one of the same shall be a material default hereunder and this Note and other debts due the Bank by any one or more of undersigned shall immediately become due and payable at the option of the Bank without notice or demand of any kind, which are hereby waived. From and after any event of default hereunder, interest shall accrue on the sum of the principal balance and accrued interest then outstanding at the variable rate equal to the Bank's Prime Rate plus 5% per annum ("Default Rate") until such principal and interest have been paid in full, provided that such rate shall not exceed at any time the highest rate of interest permitted by the laws of the State of Florida; and further provided that such rate shall also apply after judgment. In addition, upon default, the Bank may pursue its full legal remedies at law or equity, and the balance due hereunder may be charged against any obligation of the Bank to any party including any Obligor. Bank shall not be obligated to accept any check, money order, or other payment instrument marked "payment in full" on any disputed amount due hereunder, and Bank expressly reserves the right to reject all such payment instruments. Borrower agrees that tender of its check or other payment instrument so marked will not satisfy or discharge its obligation under this Note, disputed or otherwise, even if such check or payment instrument is inadvertently processed by Bank unless in fact such payment is in fact sufficient to pay the amount due hereunder.

10. ACCELERATION. If a default or Event of Default shall occur hereunder and such default shall continue for ten (10) days then at the option of the Holder, the entire principal sum then remaining unpaid together with any premiums and accrued interest shall immediately become due and payable without notice or demand, and said principal and premiums shall bear interest from such date at the highest legal rate permitted by law, from time to time, to be charged by Holder, it being agreed that interest not paid when due shall, at the option of the Holder, draw interest at the rate provided for in this paragraph. Failure to exercise the above options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent default. If this Note is payable upon demand, then no terms or provisions contained in this paragraph shall be deemed or interpreted to alter or abrogate the demand nature of this Note or the rights of Holder under a demand instrument.

11. OTHER REMEDIES. If a default or an Event of Default shall occur Holder shall have in addition to its remedies under this Note, Loan Agreement, and/or any other instrument securing or executed in conjunction with the loan evidenced hereby and applicable law all the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Florida and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holder shall have the right, at its option, and without notice or demand, to declare the entire amount of this Note remaining unpaid, and all other liabilities selected by Holder, immediately due and payable, less any unearned interest or other charges and any rebates required by law (it being the intention hereof that under no circumstances shall Holder be entitled to receive at any time any charges not allowed or permitted by law or any interest in excess of the maximum allowed by law); to set off against this Note all money owed by Holder in any capacity to the undersigned or any guarantor hereof, whether or not due; and Holder shall be deemed to have exercised such right of setoff and to have made a charge against any such money immediately upon the occurrence of such default even though such charge is made or entered in the books of Holder subsequent thereto. Upon disposition of any collateral after the occurrence of any default, undersigned shall be and remain liable for any deficiency; and Holder shall account to undersigned for any surplus, but Holder

5

GUARANTY

IN CONSIDERATION of the sum of One Dollar ($1.00), cash in hand paid, and other valuable consideration, as well as for the purpose of seeking to induce BRANCH BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY, having a principal office at 6430 North Wickham Road, Melbourne, Florida 32940 (hereinafter termed the "Bank"), to extend credit to ________________, a ___________ corporation (hereinafter termed the "Principal"), the undersigned (hereinafter termed the "Guarantor") does hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantee to said Bank and to its endorsers, transferees, successors or assigns of either this guaranty or any of the obligations secured hereunder, the prompt payment and performance, according to their respective terms, of all liabilities (as hereinafter defined) of the Principal to the Bank.

1. The term "Liability" or "Liabilities" as used herein shall include, without limitation, all of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, and all liabilities and obligations of Principal to Bank arising from or in connection with a Commitment Letter dated July 18, 2005 between Principal and Bank, and all payment and performance obligations of Principal under the Loan Documents executed pursuant to the Commitment Letter. This guaranty is additional and supplemental to any and all other guaranties heretofore and hereafter executed by any Guarantor for benefit of Bank, whether or not relating to the Liabilities, and shall not supersede or be superseded by any other document or guaranty executed by any Guarantor or any other person or entity for any purpose.

2. The Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this guaranty and notice of any Liability to which it may apply, and waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any Liabilities and any suit or the taking of other action by Bank against and any other notice to any party liable thereon (including the Guarantor).

3. Bank may at any time and from time to time without notice to the Guarantor (except as required by law), without incurring responsibility to the Guarantor, without impairing, releasing or otherwise affecting the obligations of the Guarantor, in whole or in part, and without the endorsement or execution by the Guarantor of any additional consent, waiver or guaranty (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment, and change or extend the time of or renew or alter, any Liability or installment thereof, or any security therefor, and may lend additional monies or extend additional credit to Principal, with or without security, thereby creating new Liabilities, the payment of which shall be guaranteed hereunder, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Liabilities as so changed, extended, renewed, increased or otherwise altered; (b) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure the Liabilities and any offset thereagainst; (c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Principal or others (including the Guarantor) or act or refrain from acting in any other manner; (d) settle or compromise any Liability or any security therefor and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any Liability (whether or not due) of Principal to creditors of Principal other than Bank and the Guarantor; and (e) apply

1

any sums from any sources to any Liability without regard to any Liabilities remaining unpaid.

4. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Liabilities or of any security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this guaranty, and this guaranty is a primary and absolute obligation of the Guarantor.

5. This guaranty is a continuing one, and all Liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. The death or insanity of any Guarantor shall have the effect of a notice of termination only after the Bank has actually received written notice from such Guarantor's legal representative; provided, however, that no notice of such death or insanity shall affect, in any manner, rights arising under this guaranty with respect to Liabilities that shall have been created, contracted, assumed or incurred prior to receipt by Bank of written notice of such death or insanity, or Liabilities that shall have been created, contracted for, assumed or incurred after receipt of such written notice pursuant to any agreement entered into by Bank prior to receipt of such notice, and the estate of such Guarantor shall then remain liable for any such Liabilities, and the sole effect of such notice of such death or insanity shall be to exclude (as to that Guarantor only) from this guaranty Liabilities thereafter arising that are unconnected with Liabilities theretofore arising or transactions theretofore entered into. The obligations of any other Guarantor shall remain unaffected by the death or insanity of any one or more Guarantors.

6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this guaranty shall stand as and for the Guarantor's guaranty of those certain credits granted by Bank to Principal evidenced by that certain revolving line of credit promissory note of Principal to Bank dated of even date herewith in the original principal amount of _____ MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($___________) according to the terms thereof, and to all renewals, extensions, and modifications thereof, plus interest thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes, levies, or insurance on the mortgaged property, and for maintenance, repair, protection, and preservation of the mortgaged property, with interest on such disbursements. Bank, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that upon payment to Bank in full of the herein described indebtedness, this guaranty shall be of no further force and effect.

7. All notices provided to be given to Bank herein shall be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address shown in the preamble to this agreement.

8. Any and all rights and claims of the Guarantor against Principal or any of its property shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Liabilities.

9. Bank at all times, and from time to time, following any material adverse change in the financial condition of any one of the Guarantor shall have the right to require the Guarantor to deliver to Bank, as security for the Liabilities, collateral security, original or additional, satisfactory to Bank.

2

10. As security for the Liabilities, Bank is hereby given a lien upon, security title to and a security interest in all property of the Guarantor now or at any time hereafter in possession of Bank in any capacity whatsoever, and whether joint or by the entireties, including but not limited to any balance or share of any deposit, account, trust, agency or special account, or items of monies of the Guarantor now or hereafter in the possession or control of or otherwise with Bank, to include all dividends and distributions thereon or other rights in connection therewith, and Bank shall have such right to such property as authorized by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bank shall have a prior perfected security interest to secure the Liabilities and may, at any time or from time to time at its option and without notice: (a) appropriate and apply towards the payment of any of the Liabilities the balance of any such account of the Guarantor, and (b) transfer into its own name or that of its nominee any such property in the possession or custody of Bank.

11. The Guarantor shall be in default hereunder upon: (a) non-payment of any Liability when due; (b) failure of Principal or the Guarantor to perform any agreement creating or otherwise affecting any Liability or any provision hereof, or to pay in full, when due, any other obligation of Principal or the Guarantor; (c) the dissolution, death or insanity, termination of existence, insolvency, or business failure of Principal or the Guarantor, appointment of a receiver of any part of the property of Principal or of any material part of the property of Guarantor, assignment for the benefit of creditors or the commencement of any proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency by Principal or by the Guarantor or the failure to timely contest to or to dismiss within thirty (30) days of filing, any involuntary proceeding seeking the adjudication of Principal, or the Guarantor as bankrupt or insolvent; (d) the entry of a final, unappealable judgment having a material adverse effect against Principal or the Guarantor; (e) the taking of possession of any substantial part of the property of Principal or the Guarantor at the instance of any governmental authority; (f) the merger, consolidation or reorganization of Principal or the Guarantor; (g) the determination by Bank that a material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of Principal or the Guarantor from the conditions set forth in the most recent financial statement of any such party heretofore furnished to Bank or from the condition of such party as heretofore most recently disclosed to Bank in any manner; or (h) falsity in any material respect of, or any material omission in any representation or statement made to Bank by or on behalf of Principal or the Guarantor in connection with any Liability or other obligation of such parties.

12. Upon the occurrence of any default hereunder, Bank shall have all of the remedies of a creditor and to the extent applicable, of a secured party, under all applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bank may, at its option and without notice or demand: (a) declare any Liability accelerated and due and payable at once, and (b) take possession of any collateral security wherever located, and sell, resell, assign, transfer and deliver all or any part of said property of Principal or the Guarantor, at any public or private sale, for cash or on credit, and upon any such sale, Bank, unless prohibited by law the provisions of which cannot be waived, may purchase all or any part of said property to be sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of the Principal or Guarantor whatsoever; and (c) set off

3

against any or all Liabilities or other obligations of the Guarantor all money owed by Bank in any capacity to the Guarantor whether or not due, and also set off against all other Liabilities of Principal or obligations of the Guarantor to Bank all money owed by Bank in any capacity to any Principal or the Guarantor, and Bank shall be deemed to have exercised such right of setoff and to have made a charge against any such money immediately upon the occurrence of such default although made or entered on the books subsequent thereto. Until all of the obligations of Principal to Bank have been paid and performed in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation to Bank against Principal, and Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which Bank may have against Principal and any rights to participate in any security for the note.

13. Guarantor shall pay all costs of collection and reasonable attorneys' fees, including reasonable attorneys' fees of any suit out of court, in trial, on appeal, in bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise, incurred or paid by Bank in enforcing the payment of any Liability or enforcing or preserving any right or interest of Bank hereunder, including the collection, sale or delivery of any collateral security from time to time pledged hereunder, and after deducting such fees, costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale or collection, Bank may apply any residue to pay any of the Liabilities and the Guarantor shall continue to be liable for any deficiency with interest, which shall remain a Liability.

14. If claim is ever made upon Bank for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Bank in payment or on account of any of the Liabilities and Bank repays all or part of said amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Bank or any of its property or any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by Bank with any such claimant (including Principal), then the Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon the Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Liability, and the Guarantor shall be and remain liable to Bank hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Bank.

15. Any acknowledgment, new promise, payment of principal or interest, or otherwise, whether by Principal or others (including the Guarantor), with respect to any of the Liabilities shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of the Guarantor against Bank shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations and, if the period of such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.

16. Bank shall not be bound to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in any of the property of the Guarantor against prior parties who may be liable in connection therewith, and the Guarantor hereby agrees to take any such steps. Bank may, nevertheless, at any time after and during the continuance of a default (a) take any action it may deem appropriate for the care or preservation of such property or of any rights of the Guarantor or Bank therein; (b) demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time due, payable or receivable on account of or in exchange

4

for any property of the Guarantor; (c) compromise and settle with any person liable on such property, or (d) extend the time of payment or otherwise change the terms thereof as to any party liable thereon, all without notice to, without incurring responsibility to, and without affecting any of the obligations of the Guarantor.

17. No delay on the part of Bank in exercising any of its options, powers or rights, or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. No waiver of any of its rights hereunder, and no modification or amendment of this guaranty, shall be deemed to be made by Bank unless the same shall be in writing, duly signed on behalf of Bank, and each such waiver, if any, shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved, and shall in no way impair the rights of Bank or the obligations of the Guarantor to Bank in any other respect at any other time.

18. Bank shall not be required to proceed first against Principal, or any other person, firm or corporation, whether primarily or secondarily liable, or against any collateral security held by it, before resorting to the Guarantor for payment, and the Guarantor shall not be entitled to assert as a defense to the enforceability of the guaranty set forth herein any defense of Principal with respect to any Liability.

19. Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Principal now or hereafter owed to Guarantor to all indebtedness of Principal to Bank, and agrees with Bank that Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Principal, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantor's obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the security described in and encumbered by the security instruments; provided, however, that, if Bank so requests, such indebtedness shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for Bank and be paid over to Bank on account of the indebtedness of Principal to Bank, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the Liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

20. Each Guarantor warrants and represents to Bank that all financial statements heretofore delivered by said Guarantor to Bank are true and correct in all respects as of the date hereof.

a. Guarantor shall promptly, from time to time, furnish Bank with such financial reports and data as Bank may request.

b. Bank shall have no duty to pass on to Guarantor at any time its knowledge about the financial affairs or condition of Principal or of any other Guarantor of the Liabilities. Guarantor warrants that it has independent means to keep itself informed about these matters.

c. The Bank is hereby authorized to deliver a copy of any financial statements, tax returns or any other information relating to the business operations or financial condition of any Guarantor which may be furnished to it or come to its attention pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise, to any regulatory body or agency having jurisdiction over Bank or to any person which shall, or shall have the right

5

or obligation to, succeed to all or any part of Bank's interest (or any interest) in the Loan Documents.

21. This guaranty may not be changed orally or by implication, and no obligation of Guarantor can be released or waived by Bank or any officer or agent of Bank, except by a writing, signed by a duly authorized officer of Bank. This guaranty shall be irrevocable by Guarantor until all indebtedness guaranteed hereby has been completely repaid and all obligations and undertakings of Principal under, by reason of, or pursuant to the note and loan documents have been completely performed.

22. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provisions of this guaranty, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law as of the date hereof, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then ipso facto the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this guaranty that is in excess of the limit of such validity as of the date hereof, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the limit of such validity. The provisions of this paragraph shall control over every other provision of this guaranty.

23. The failure of any other person to sign this guaranty shall not release or affect the obligations or liability of the Guarantor. If more than one party executes this Guaranty, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be joint and several and the term "Guarantor" shall include each as well as all of them. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

24. The term "Guarantor" wherever used herein shall mean the Guarantor or any one or more of them. Anyone executing this guaranty shall be bound by the terms hereof without regard to execution by anyone else. This guaranty is binding upon the Guarantor, his, their, or its executors, administrators, successors or assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Bank, its successors, endorsees or assigns. This Guaranty shall in no event be impaired by any change which may arise by reason of the death of Principal or Guarantor, if individuals, or by reason of the dissolution of Principal or Guarantor, if Principal or Guarantor is a corporation or partnership.

25. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this guaranty, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives all rights it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Guarantor to the rights of the Bank) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from the Principal, or any other person now or hereafter primarily liable for any obligation of the Principal to the Bank, for any disbursement made by the Guarantor under or in connection with this guarantee or otherwise.

26. This agreement has been delivered in the State of Florida and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Florida. Wherever possible, each provision of this agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under

6

applicable law, but 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. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor hereby waives any provision of law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. Guarantor, whether or not a Florida resident, hereby waives any plea or claim of lack of personal jurisdiction or improper venue in any action, suit or proceeding brought upon to enforce this Guaranty or the Liabilities. The Guarantor specifically authorizes any such action to be instituted and prosecuted in any Circuit Court in Florida, or United States District Court of Florida, at the election of Bank, where venue would lie and be proper against any Principal.

27. GUARANTOR AND BANK HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY 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. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE BANK MAKING THE LOAN OR EXTENSION OF CREDIT EVIDENCED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

(b) Secured Party may declare all or part of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without notice or demand upon the happening of any Event of Default or if the Secured Party deems itself insecure. This paragraph is not intended to affect any rights of Secured Party with respect to any Indebtedness which may now or hereafter be payable on demand.

(c) Upon the happening of any Event of Default, Secured Party's rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral shall be those of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable law from time to time in effect. Secured Party shall also have any additional rights granted herein and in any other agreement now or hereafter in effect between Debtor and Secured Party. If requested by Secured Party, the Debtor, at its expense, will assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party.

(d) Debtor agree that any notice by Secured Party of the sale or disposition of the Collateral or any other intended action hereunder, whether required by the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to Debtor if the notice is mailed by regular or certified mail, postage prepaid, at least five days before the action to Debtor's address as specified in this Security Agreement or to any other address which Debtor has specified in writing to Secured Party as the address to which notices shall be given to Debtor.

(e) Debtor jointly and severally, shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in enforcing this Security Agreement, realizing upon any Collateral and collecting any Indebtedness, including reasonable attorneys' fees whether suit is brought or not and whether incurred in connection with collection, trial, appeal, Bankruptcy or otherwise, all of which costs and expenses shall be secured hereby, and shall be liable for any deficiencies in the event the proceeds of disposition of the Collateral do not satisfy the Indebtedness in full. All such proceeds shall be applied without marshalling of assets (i) first to the expenses of retaking and preparing the Collateral for sale, including expenses of sale, (ii) next to other costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Secured Party in exercising its rights and remedies under this Security

2

Agreement, and (iii) finally to the payment of interest and/or principal due on the Indebtedness, in such order and to such Indebtedness as Secured Party may determine.

6. Miscellaneous. (a) Debtor authorizes Secured Party without notice to Debtor and without affecting Debtor's obligations hereunder from time to time
(i) to renew, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of the principal of or the interest on the Indebtedness or any part thereof; (ii) to take from any party and hold collateral (other than the Collateral) for the payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof and to exchange, enforce or release such collateral or the Collateral or any part thereof; (iii) to accept and hold any endorsement or guaranty of payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof and to release or substitute any such endorser or guarantor, or any party who has given any security interest in any collateral as security for the payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof or any party in any way obligated to pay the Indebtedness or any part thereof; and (iv) to waive or fail to enforce any of Secured Party's rights against Debtor or any such collateral or the Collateral; and (v) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default to direct the order or manner of the disposition of the Collateral and any other collateral and the enforcement of any endorsements and guaranties relating to the Indebtedness or any part thereof as Secured Party in its sole discretion may determine.

(b) Debtor authorize Secured Party at Debtor's expense to file any financing statement or statements relating to the Collateral (without Debtor's signature thereon) which Secured Party deems appropriate, and Debtor irrevocably appoint Secured Party as Debtor's attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in Debtor's name and to perform all other acts which Secured Party deems appropriate to perfect and to continue perfection of the Security Interest. At the option of Secured Party, this Security Agreement, or a photocopy thereof, shall be deemed to be a financing statement authorized to be filed in such jurisdictions where such filing will be given effect.

(c) Debtor hereby irrevocably consent to any act by Secured Party or its agents in entering upon any premises for the purpose of either (1) inspecting the Collateral or (2) taking possession of the Collateral after any Event of Default; and Debtor hereby waives its right to assert against Secured Party or its agents any claim based upon trespass or any similar cause of action for entering upon any premises where the Collateral may be located.

(d) Before or after any Event of Default Secured Party may notify any party obligated to pay proceeds of the existence of the Security Interest and may also direct them to make payments of all proceeds to Secured Party.

(e) Secured Party may demand, collect and sue for all proceeds (either in Debtor's name or Secured Party's name at the latter's option) with the right to enforce, compromise, settle or discharge any proceeds.

(f) Debtor authorize Secured Party to collect and apply against the Indebtedness any refund of insurance premiums or any insurance proceeds payable on account of the loss of or damage to any of the Collateral and irrevocably appoints Secured Party as Debtor's attorney-in-fact to adjust and settle any insurance claim relating to the Collateral and to endorse any check or draft representing insurance proceeds.

(g) (i) As further security for the Indebtedness, Debtor grants to Secured Party a security interest in all property of the Debtor now or at any time hereafter in the possession of Secured Party in any capacity whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any balance or share of any deposit, trust or agency account; and with respect to all of such property, Secured Party shall have the same rights as it has with respect to the Collateral. (ii) Without limiting any other right of Secured Party, whenever Secured Party has the right to declare any Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable (whether or not it has so declared), Secured Party may set off against the Indebtedness all monies then owed to Debtor by Secured Party in any capacity whether due or not and Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised its right of set off immediately at the time its right to such election accrues.

(h) Upon Debtor's failure to perform any of its duties hereunder Secured Party may, but it shall not be obligated to, perform any of such duties and Debtor jointly and severally, shall forthwith upon demand reimburse Secured Party for any expense incurred by Secured Party in doing so, together with interest thereon at the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

(i) No delay or omission by Secured Party in exercising any right hereunder or with respect to any Indebtedness shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right, and no single or partial exercise of any right shall preclude Secured Party from any other or future exercise of the right or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Secured Party may cure any Event of Default by Debtor in any reasonable manner without waiving the Event of Default so cured and without waiving any other prior or subsequent Event of Default by Debtor. All rights and remedies of Secured Party under this Security Agreement and under the Uniform Commercial Code shall be deemed cumulative.

(j) Secured Party shall have no obligation to take and Debtor shall have the sole responsibility for taking any steps to preserve rights against all prior parties to any instrument or

3

chattel paper in Secured Party's possession as proceeds of the Collateral. Debtor waives notice of dishonor and protest of any instrument constituting Collateral at any time held by Secured Party on which the Debtor is in any way liable and waives notice of any other action by Secured Party.

(k) The rights and benefits of Secured Party under this Security Agreement shall, if Secured Party agrees, inure to any party acquiring an interest in the Indebtedness or any part thereof. Secured Party may from time to time honor drafts or otherwise advance funds to permit Debtor to purchase additional equipment. Any equipment purchased with such funds shall become part of the Collateral. Secured Party may from time to time furnish Debtor with memoranda or wholesale ledger sheets describing equipment for which it has advanced funds. All inventory so described shall conclusively be deemed part of the Collateral unless Debtor notifies Secured Party within five days of items which are not properly part of the Collateral. Memoranda or wholesale ledger sheets may be furnished to Debtor in the same manner as other notices under paragraph 8(d) of this Security Agreement.

(l) The terms "Secured Party" and "Debtor" as used in this Security Agreement include the heirs, personal representatives, and successors or assigns of those parties. The terms "inventory", "accounts", "general intangibles" and "chattel paper" as used in this Security Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Florida Uniform Commercial Code. Whenever used herein, the singular number shall include the plural, the plural the singular, and the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders.

(m) If more than one Debtor executes this Security Agreement, the terms "Debtor" includes each of the Debtors, as well as all of them, and their obligations under this Security Agreement shall be joint and several.

(n) This Security Agreement is a continuing agreement which shall remain in force until it is marked "Cancelled" and returned to Debtor by Secured Party upon payment in full of all Indebtedness (and no further right on the part of the Debtor to obtain any advances or other disbursements from Secured Party) and, until such time, this Security Agreement shall continue to secure all of the Indebtedness and any extensions, renewals or modifications of the Indebtedness.

(o) This Security Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the Florida Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable Florida laws in effect from time to time.

(p) This Security Agreement constitutes the complete agreement of the parties in regard to the matters set forth herein and this Security Agreement may not be modified or amended and no provision hereof shall be waived except by a writing signed by the party to be charged with such modification, amendment or waiver.

7. Waiver. The Debtor hereby waives any rights Debtor may have to notice and a hearing before possession or sale of Collateral is effected by Secured Party by self-help, replevin, attachment or otherwise. Debtor further waives any right to a trial by jury in any civil action arising out of, or based upon, this Security Agreement or the Collateral.

8. Waiver of Venue and Jurisdiction. Debtor, whether or not a Florida resident, hereby waives any plea or claim of lack of personal jurisdiction or improper venue in any action, suit or proceeding brought upon to enforce this Security Agreement or the Debtor's obligations and liabilities hereunder. The Debtor specifically authorize any such action to be instituted and prosecuted in any Circuit Court in Florida, or United States District Court of Florida, at the election of Secured Party, where venue would lie and be proper against any Debtor.

9. Waiver of Jury Trial. SECURED PARTY AND DEBTOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS HYPOTHECATION SECURITY AGREEMENT 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. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE SECURED PARTY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
