[Property Address]
1. BORROWER'S PROMISETO PAY
In return for a loan that I have received, I promise to pay U.S. $ 106,178.00 (this amount is
called "Principal"), plus interest, to the order of the Lender. The Lender is First Federal Bank
of Florida, A FEDERALLY CHARTERED SAVINGS BANK
I will make all payments under this Note in the form of cash, check or money order.
J understand that the Lender may transfer this Note. The Lender or anyone who takes this Note by transfer and
who is entitled to receive payments under this Note is called the "Note Holder."
2 INTEREST
Interest will be charged on unpaid principal until the full amount of Principal has been paid. 1 will pay interest
at a yearly rate of 4.500 %.
The interest rate required by this Section 2 is the rate I will pay both before and after any default described in
Section 6(B) of this Note.
3. PAYMENTS
Vv
(A) Time and Place of Payments
I will pay principal and interest by making a payment every month.
I will make my monthly payment on the 1st day of each month beginning on JANUARY 1 ,
2011 I will make these payments every month until I have paid all of the principal and interest and any other
charges described below that I may owe under this Note. Each monthly payment will be applie«
due date and will be applied to interest before Principal. If, on DECEMBER 1, 2040 y

FIORINA FIYEN RATE NOTE.-Sinala Family amin MEromonre enn 40 4760
4. BORROWER'S RIGHT TO PREPAY
I have the right to make payments of Principal at any time before they are due. A payment of Principal only
is known as a "Prepayment." When I make a Prepayment, | will tell the Note Holder in writing that I am doing so.
I may not designate a payment as a Prepayment if I have not made all the monthly payments due under the Note.
I may make a full Prepayment or partial Prepayments without paying a Prepayment charge. The Note Holder
will use my Prepayments to reduce the amount of Principal that I owe under this Note. However, the Note Holder
may apply my Prepayment to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Prepayment amount, before applying my
Prepayment to reduce the Principal amount of the Note. If I make a partial Prepayment, there will be no changes in
the due date or in the amount of my monthly payment unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to those changes.
5 LOAN CHARGES
If a law, which applies to this loan and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally interpreted so that the
interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with this loan exceed the permitted limits,
then: (a) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit;
and (b) any sums already collected from me which exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to me. The Note
Holder may choose to make this refund by reducing the Principal I owe under this Note or by making a direct payment
to me. Ifa refund reduces Principal, the reduction will be treated as a partial Prepayment.
6. BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY AS REQUIRED
(A) Late Charge for Overdue Payments
If the Note Holder has not received the full amount of any monthly payment by the end of 15
calendar days after the date it is due, I will pay a late charge to the Note Holder. The amount of the charge will be
4.000 % of my overdue payment of principal, interest, and escrow for taxes and insurance. I will pay
this late charge promptly but only once on each late payment.
(B) Default
If I do not pay the full amount of each monthly payment on the date it is due, I will be in default.
(C) Notice of Default
If I am in default, the Note Holder may send me a written notice telling me that if I do not pay the overdue
amount by a certain date, the Note Holder may require me to pay immediately the full amount of Principal which has
not been paid and all the interest that I owe on that amount. That date must be at least 30 days after the date on which
the notice is mailed to me or delivered by other means.
@) No Waiver By Note Holder
Even if, at a time when I am in default, the Note Holder does not require me to pay immediately in full as
described above, the Note Holder will still have the right to do so if I] am in default at a later time.
(E) Payment of Note Holder's Costs and Expenses
If the Note Holder has required me to pay immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder will have
the right to be paid back by me for all of its costs and expenses in enforcing this Note to the extent not prohibited by
applicable law. Those expenses include, for example, reasonable attorneys’ fees.
7. GIVING OF NOTICES
Unless applicable law requires a different method, any notice that must be given to me under this Note will be
given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to me at the Property Address above or at a different address
if I give the Note Holder a notice of my different address.
Any notice that must be given to the Note Holder under this Note will be given by delivering it or by mailing
it by first class mail to the Note Holder at the address stated in Section 3(A) above or at a different address if I am
given a notice of that different address.

8. OBLIGATIONS OF PERSONS UNDER THIS NOTE
If more than one person signs this Note, each person is fully and personally obligated to keep all of the promises
made in this Note, including the promise to pay the full amount owed. Any person who is a guarantor, surety or
endorser of this Note is also obligated to do these things. Any person who takes over these obligations, including
the obligations of a guarantor, surety or endorser of this Note, is also obligated to keep all of the promises made in
this Note. The Note Holder may enforce its rights under this Note against each person individually or against all of
us together. This means that any one of us may be required to pay all of the amounts owed under this Note.
9. WAIVERS
I and any other person who has obligations under this Note waive the rights of Presentment and Notice of
Dishonor. "Presentment" means the right to require the Note Holder to demand payment of amounts due. "Notice
of Dishonor" means the right to require the Note Holder to give notice to other persons that amounts due have not
been paid.
10. UNIFORM SECURED NOTE
This Note is a uniform instrument with limited variations in some jurisdictions. In addition to the protections
given to the Note Holder under this Note, a Mortgage, Deed of Trust, or Security Deed (the "Security Instrument"),
dated the same date as this Note, protects the Note Holder from possible losses which might result if I do not keep
the promises which ] make in this Note. That Security Instrument describes how and under what conditions I may
be required to make immediate payment in full of all amounts I owe under this Note. Some of those conditions are
described as follows:
Transfer of the Property; Acceleration; Assumption. This loan may be declared immediately
due and payable upon transfer of the property securing such loan to any transferee, unless the
acceptability of the assumption of the loan is established pursuant to Section 3714 of Chapter 37,
Title 38, United States Code. The acceptability of any assumption shall also be subject to the
following additional provisions:
(a) Funding Fee: A fee equal to one-half of 1 percent of the balance of this loan
as of the date of transfer of the property shall be payable at the time of transfer to the
loan holder or its authorized agent, as trustee for the Department of Veterans Affairs, If
the assumer fails to pay this fee at the time of transfer, the fee shall constitute an
additional debt to that already secured by this instrument, shall bear interest at the rate
herein provided, and at the option of the payee of the indebtedness hereby secured or any
transferee thereof, shall be immediately due and payable. This fee is automatically waived
if the assumer is exempt under the provisions of 38 U.S.C. 3729(c). (Note: The funding
fee for loans assumed between 12/13/02 and 09/30/03 will be 1 percent.)
(b) Processing Charge: Upon application for approval to allow assumption of this
loan, a processing fee may be charged by the loan holder or its authorized agent for
determining the creditworthiness of the assumer and subsequently revising the holder's
ownership records when an approved transfer is completed. The amount of this charge
shall not exceed the maximum established by the Department of Veterans Affairs for a
loan to which Section 3714 of Chapter 37, ‘itle 38, United States Code applies.
© Indemnity Liability Assumption: If this obligation is assumed, then the
assumer hereby agrees to assume all of the obligations of the veteran under the terms of
the instruments creating and securing the loan. The assumer further agrees to indemnify
the Department of Veterans Affairs to the extent of any claim payment arising from the
guaranty or insurance of the indebtedness created by this instrument.
If the acceptability of the assumption of this loan is not established for any reason, and Lender
exercises its option to declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument immediately due and
payable, Lender shall give Borrower notice of acceleration. The notice shall provide a period of not

ne a’
less than 30 days from the date the notice is given in accordance with Section 14 within which
Borrower must pay all sums secured by this Security Instrument. If Borrower fails to pay these sums
prior to the expiration of this period, Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by this Security
Instrument without further notice or demand on Borrower.
11. DOCUMENTARY TAX
The state documentary tax due on this Note has been paid on the mortgage securing this indebtedness.
NOTICE TO BORROWER
Department of Veterans Affairs regulations at 38 C.F.R. 36.4334 provide as follows:
"Regulations issued under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 37 and in effect on the date of any loan which is
submitted and accepted or approved for a guaranty or for insurance thereunder, shall govern the
rights, duties, and liabilities of the parties to such loan and any provisions of the loan instruments
inconsistent with such regulations are hereby amended and supplemented to conform thereto."

TOGETHER WITH all the improvements now or hereafter erected on the property, and all easements,

i
under the Note and this Security Instrument shall be made in U.S. currency. However, if any check or other
instrument received by Lender as payment under the Note or this Security Instrument is returned to Lender unpaid,
Lender may require that any or all subsequent payments due under the Note and this Security Instrument be made in
one or more of the following forms, as selected by Lender: (a) cash; (b) money order; (c) certified check, bank check,
treasurer's check or cashier's check, provided any such check is drawn upon an institution whose deposits are insured
by a federal agency, instrumentality, or entity; or (d) Electronic Funds Transfer.
Payments are deemed received by Lender when received at the location designated in the Note or at such other
location as may be designated by Lender in accordance with the notice provisions in Section 14. Lender may return
any payment or partial payment if the payment or partial payments are insufficient to bring the Loan current. Lender
may accept any payment or partial payment insufficient to bring the Loan current, without waiver of any rights
hereunder or prejudice to its rights to refuse such payment or partial payments in the future, but Lender is not
obligated to apply such payments at the time such payments are accepted. If each Periodic Payment is applied as of
its scheduled due date, then Lender need not pay interest on unapplied funds. Lender may hold such unapplied funds
until Borrower makes payment to bring the Loan current. If Borrower does not do so within a reasonable period of
time, Lender shall either apply such funds or return them to Borrower. If not applied earlier, such funds will be
applied to the outstanding principal balance under the Note immediately prior to foreclosure. No offset or claim
which Borrower might have now or in the future against Lender shall relieve Borrower from making payments duc
under the Note and this Security Instrument or performing the covenants and agreements secured by this Security
Instrument.
2. Application of Payments or Proceeds. Except as otherwise described in this Section 2, all payments
accepted and applied by Lender shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a) interest due under the Note;
(b) principal due under the Note; (c) amounts due under Section 3. Such payments shall be applied to each Periodic
Payment in the order in which it became due. Any remaining amounts shall be applied first to late charges, second
to any other amounts due under this Security Instrument, and then to reduce the principal balance of the Note.
If Lender receives a payment from Borrower for a delinquent Periodic Payment which includes a sufficient
amount to pay any late charge due, the payment may be applied to the delinquent payment and the late charge. If
more than one Periodic Payment is outstanding, Lender may apply any payment received from Borrower to the
repayment of the Periodic Payments if, and to the extent that, each payment can be paid in full. To the extent that
any excess exists after the payment is applied to the full payment of one or more Periodic Payments, such excess may
be applied to any late charges due. Voluntary prepayments shall be applied first to any prepayment charges and then
as described in the Note.
Any application of payments, insurance proceeds, or Miscellaneous Proceeds to principal due under the Note
shall not extend or postpone the due date, or change the amount, of the Periodic Payments.
3. Funds for Escrow Items. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the day Periodic Payments are due under the
Note, until the Note is paid in full, a sum (the "Funds") to provide for payment of amounts due for: (a) taxes and
assessments and other items which can attain priority over this Security Instrument as a lien or encumbrance on the
Property; (b) leasehold payments or ground rents on the Property, if any; and (c) premiums for any and all insurance
required by Lender under Section 5. These items arc called “Escrow Items." At origination or at any time during the
term of the Loan, Lender may require that Community Association Dues, Fees, and Assessments, if any, be escrowed
by Borrower, and such dues, fees and assessments shall be an Escrow Item. Borrower shall promptly furnish to
Lender all notices of amounts to be paid under this Section. Borrower shall pay Lender the Funds for Escrow Items
unless Lender waives Borrower's obligation to pay the Funds for any or all Escrow Items. Lender may waive
Borrower's obligation to pay to Lender Funds for any or all Escrow Items at any time. Any such waiver may only
be in writing. In the event of such waiver, Borrower shall pay directly, when and where payable, the amounts due

”
for any Escrow Items for which payment of Funds has been waived by Lender and, if Lender requires, shall furnish
to Lender receipts evidencing such payment within such time period as Lender may require. Borrower's obligation
to make such payments and to provide receipts shall for all purposes be deemed to be a covenant and agreement
contained in this Security Instrument, as the phrase "covenant and agreement" is used in Section 9. If Borrower is
obligated to pay Escrow Items directly, pursuant to a waiver, and Borrower fails to pay the amount due for an Escrow
Item, Lender may exercise its rights under Section 9 and pay such amount and Borrower shall then be obligated under
Section 9 to repay to Lender any such amount. Lender may revoke the waiver as to any or all Escrow Items at any
time by a notice given in accordance with Section 14 and, upon such revocation, Borrower shall pay to Lender all
Funds, and in such amounts, that are then required under this Section 3.
Lender may, at any time, collect and hold Funds in an amount (a) sufficient to permit Lender to apply the Funds
at the time specified under RESPA, and (b) not to exceed the maximum amount a lender can require under RESPA.
Lender shall estimate the amount of Funds due on the basis of current data and reasonable estimates of expenditures
of future Escrow Items or otherwise in accordance with Applicable Law.
The Funds shall be held in an institution whose deposits are insured by a federal agency, instrumentality, or
entity (including Lender, if Lender is an institution whose deposits are so insured) or in any Federal Home Loan
Bank, Lender’shall apply the Funds to pay the Escrow Items no later than the time specified under RESPA. Lender
shall not charge Borrower for holding and applying the Funds, annually analyzing the escrow account, or verifying
the Escrow Items, unless Lender pays Borrower interest on the Funds and Applicable Law permits Lender to make
such a charge. Unless an agreement is made in writing or Applicable Law requires interest to be paid on the Funds,
Lender shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on the Funds. Borrower and Lerider can agree
in writing, however, that interest shall be paid on the Funds. Lender shall give to Borrower, without charge, an
annual accounting of the Funds as required by RESPA.
If there is a surplus of Funds held in escrow, as defined under RESPA, Lender shall account to Borrower for
the excess funds in accordance with RESPA. If there is a’shortage of Funds held in escrow, as defined under RESPA,
Lender shall notify Borrower as required by RESPA, and Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount necessaryto make
up the shortage in accordance with RESPA, but in no more than 12 monthly payments. If there is a deficiency of
Funds held in escrow, as defined under RESPA, Lender shall notify Borrower as required by RESPA, and Borrower
shall pay to Lender the amount necessary to make up the deficiency in accordance with RESPA, but in no more than
12 monthly payments.
Upon payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument, Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower
any Funds held by Lender.
4. Charges; Liens. Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, charges, fines, and impositions attributable to
the Property which can attain priority over this Security Instrument, leasehold payments or ground rents on the
Property, if any, and Community Association Dues, Fees, and Assessments, if any. To the extent that these items
are Escrow Items, Borrower shall pay them in the manner provided in Section 3.
Borrower shall promptly discharge any lien which has priority over this Security Instrument unless Borrower:
(a) agrees in writing to the payment of the obligation secured by the lien in a manner acceptable to Lender, but only
so long as Borrower is performing such agreement; (b) contests the lien in good faith by, or defends against
enforcement of the lien in, legal proceedings which in Lender's opinion operate to prevent the enforcement of the lien
while those proceedings are pending, but only until such proceedings are concluded; or (c) secures from the holder
of the lien an agreement satisfactory to Lender subordinating the lien to this Security Instrument. If Lender
determines that any part of the Property is subject to a lien which can attain priority over this Security Instrument,
Lender may give Borrower a notice identifying the lien. Within 10 days of the date on which that notice is given,
Borrower shall satisfy the lien or take one or more of the actions set forth above in this Section 4.

Lender may require Borrower to pay a one-time charge for a real estate tax verification and/or reporting service
used by Lender in connection with this Loan.
5. Property Insurance. Borrower shall keep the improvements now existing or hereafter erected on the
Property insured against loss by fire, hazards included within the term “extended coverage," and any other hazards
including, but not limited to, earthquakes and floods, for which Lender requires insurance. This insurance shall be
maintained in the amounts (including deductible levels) and for the periods that Lender requires. What Lender
requires pursuant to the preceding sentences can change during the term of the Loan. ‘The insurance carrier providing
the insurance shall be chosen by Borrower subject to Lender' s right to disapprove Borrower's choice, which right shall
not be exercised unreasonably. Lender may require Borrower to pay, in connection with this Loan, either: (a) a one-
time charge for flood zone determination, certification and tracking services; or (b) a one-time charge for flood zone
determination and certification services and subsequent charges each time remappings or similar changes occur which
reasonably might affect such determination or certification. Borrower shall also be responsible for the payment of
any fees imposed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in connection with the review of any flood zone
determination resulting from an objection by Borrower.
If Borrower fails to maintain any of the coverages described above, Lender may obtain insurance coverage, at
Lender's option and Borrower's expense. Lender is under no obligation to purchase any particular type or amount
of coverage. Therefore, such coverage shall cover Lender, but might or might not protect Borrower, Borrower's
equity in the Property, or the contents of the Property, against any risk, hazard or liability and might provide greater
or lesser coverage than was previously in effect. Borrower acknowledges that the cost of the insurance coverage so
obtained might significantly exceed the cost of insurance that Borrower could have obtained. Any amounts disbursed
by Lender under this Section 5 shall become additional debt of Borrower secured by this Security Instrument. These
amounts shall bear interest at the Note rate from the date of disbursement and shall be payable, with such interest,
upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment.
All insurance policies required by Lender and renewals of such policies shall be subject to Lender's right to
disapprove such policies, shall include a standard mortgage clause, and shall name Lender as mortgagee and/or as an
additional loss payee. Lender shall have the right to hold the policies and renewal certificates. If Lender requires,
Borrower shall promptly give to Lender all receipts of paid premiums and renewal notices. If Borrower obtains any
form of insurance coverage, not otherwise required by Lender, for damage to, or destruction of, the Property, such
policy shall include a standard mortgage clause and shall name Lender as mortgagee and/or as an additional loss
payee.
In the event of loss, Borrower shall give prompt notice to the insurance carrier and Lender. Lender may make
proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, any
insurance proceeds, whether or not the underlying insurance was required by Lender, shall be applied to restoration
or repair of the Property, if the restoration or repair is economically feasible and Lender's security is not lessened.
During such repair and restoration period, Lender shall have the right to hold such insurance proceeds until Lender
has had an opportunity to inspect such Property to cnsure the work has been completed to Lender's satisfaction,
provided that such inspection shall be undertaken promptly. Lender may disburse proceeds for the repairs and
restoration in a single payment or in a series of progress payments as the work is completed. Unless an agreement
is made in writing or Applicable Law requires interest to be paid on such insurance proceeds, Lender shall not be
required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on such proceeds. Fees for public adjusters, or other third partics,
retained by Borrower shall not be paid out of the insurance proceeds and shall be the sole obligation of Borrower.
If the restoration or repair is not economically feasible or Lender's security would be lessened, the insurance proceeds
shall be applied to the sums secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due, with the excess, if any, paid
to Borrower. Such insurance proceeds shall be applied in the order provided for in Section 2.

related matters. If Borrower does not respond within 30 days to a notice from Lender that the insurance carrier has
offered to settle a claim, then Lender may negotiate and settle the claim. The 30-day period will begin when the
notice is given. In either event, or if Lender acquires the Property under Section 21 or otherwise, Borrower hereby
assigns to Lender (a) Borrower's rights to any insurance proceeds in an amount not to exceed the amounts unpaid
under the Note or this Security Instrument, and (b) any other of Borrower's rights (other than the right to any refund
of unearned premiums paid by Borrower) under all insurance policies covering the Property, insofar as such rights
are applicable to the coverage of the Property. Lender may use the insurance proceeds either to repair or restore the
Property or to pay amounts unpaid under the Note or this Security Instrument, whether or not then due.
6. Occupancy. Borrower shall occupy, establish, and use the Property as Borrower's principal residence
within 60 days after the execution of this Security Instrument and shall continue to occupy the Property as Borrower's
principal residence for at least one year after the date of occupancy, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or unless extenuating circumstances exist which are beyond Borrower's
control.
7. Preservation, Maintenance and Protection of the Property; Inspections. Borrower shall not destroy,
damage or impair the Property, allow the Property to deteriorate or commit waste on the Property. Whether or not
Borrower is residing in the Property, Borrower shall maintain the Property in order to prevent the Property from
deteriorating or decreasing in value due to its condition. Unless it is determined pursuant to Section 5 that repair or
restoration is not economically feasible, Borrower shall promptly repair the Property if damaged to avoid further
deterioration or damage. If insurance or condemnation proceeds are paid in connection with damage to, or the taking
of, the Property, Borrower shall be responsible for repairing or restoring the Property only if Lender has released
proceeds for such purposes. Lender may disburse proceeds for the repairs and restoration in a single payment or in
a series of progress payments as the work is completed. If the insurance or condemnation proceeds are not sufficient
to repair or restore the Property, Borrower is not relieved of Borrower's obligation for the completion of such repair
or restoration.
Lender or its agent may make reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Property. If it has reasonable cause,
Lender may inspect the interior of the improvements on the Property. Lender shall give Borrower notice at the time
of or prior to such an interior inspection specifying such reasonable cause.

Borrower or any persons or entities acting at the direction of Borrower or with Borrower's knowledge or consent gave
materially false, misleading, or inaccurate information or statements to Lender (or failed to provide Lender with
material information) in connection with the Loan. Material representations include, but are not limited to,
representations concerning Borrower's occupancy of the Property as Borrower's principal residence.
9. Protection of Lender's Interest in the Property and Rights Under this Security Instrument. If (a)
Borrower fails to perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Security Instrument, (b) there is a legal
proceeding that might significantly affect Lender's interest in the Property and/or rights under this Security Instrument
(such as a proceeding in bankruptcy, probate, for condemnation or forfeiture, for enforcement of a lien which may
attain priority over this Security Instrument or to enforce laws or regulations), or (¢) Borrower has abandoned the
Property, then Lender may do and pay for whatever is reasonable or appropriate to protect Lender's interest in the
Property and rights under this Security Instrument, including protecting and/or assessing the value of the Property,
and securing and/or repairing the Property. Lender's actions can include, but are not limited to: (a) paying any sums
secured by a lien which has priority over this Security Instrument; (b) appearing in court; and (c) paying reasonable
attorneys' fees to protect its interest in the Property and/or rights under this Security Instrument; including its secured
position in a bankruptcy proceeding, Securing the Property includes, but is not limited to, entering the Property to
