STATE OF FLORIDA("Trustees"),whose address is the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection,
Division of State Lands,3900 Commonwealth Blvd.,Mail Station 115,Tallahassee,Florida 32399-3000,as "Buyer".
Buyer's agent in all matters shall be the Division of State Lands of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
("DSL").
1. GRANT OF OPTION. Seller hereby grants to Buyer the exclusive option to purchase the real property
located in Monroe County,Florida,described in Exhibit"A",together with all timber,transferable development rights,
improvements, easements, appurtenances, hereditaments, and riparian and littoral rights, if any (the "Property"), in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.This Option Agreement becomes legally binding on execution of
this Agreement,but exercise of the option is subject to approval by Buyer and is effective only if DSL gives written
notice of exercise to Seller.
2. OPTION TERMS. The consideration for the option granted by this Agreement is $100.00 ("Option
Payment"). Upon execution of this Option Agreement by DSL,DSL will apply to the Chief Financial Officer for a
state warrant in the amount of the Option Payment,which,will be forwarded to the escrow agent to hold for the benefit
of Seller. The Option Payment is non-refundable such that Seller shall be entitled to retain the Option Payment
regardless of whether Buyer exercises the Option; Provided, however,the Option Payment shall be credited toward
the purchase price at closing if Buyer timely exercises the option as discussed below. The option may be exercised
during the period beginning with Buyer's approval of this Agreement at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Governor
and Cabinet sitting as the Trustees,and ending 120 days after Buyer's approval of this Agreement("Option Expiration
Date"),unless extended by other provisions of this Agreement. If Buyer's funds in the amount of the purchase price
(as hereinafter defined in paragraph 3.A.)are not available by the Option Expiration Date the period of exercise of the
option may be extended until such funds become available,not to exceed 60 days after the Option Expiration Date,
by written notice to Seller.If Buyer's funds are not available at the end of the 60-day extension then this Agreement
shall terminate and neither party shall have further obligations under the provisions of this Agreement.If Buyer does
not exercise its option by the Option Expiration Date, as extended if applicable,then the escrow agent is directed to
release and disburse the Option Payment to Seller the following day. If Buyer does timely exercise its option,then
escrow agent shall credit the Option Payment toward the purchase price paid by Buyer at closing.
3.A. PURCHASE PRICE; The purchase price for the Property is ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE
THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($125,000.00) ("Initial Purchase Price") which, after credit for the Option
Payment,will be paid at closing. Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to issue a state warrant for the Purchase Price directly
to an escrow agent who is authorized by law to receive such payment,and who is acceptable to Buyer,and to require
the escrow agent to pay Seller's expenses of sale and real estate taxes. The Initial Purchase Price is subject to
adjustment in accordance with paragraph 3.13. This Agreement is contingent upon approval of the Final Adjusted
Purchase Price,hereinafter defined,by Buyer and upon confirmation that the Final Adjusted Purchase Price is not in
excess of the maximum value of the Property as determined in accordance with Section 253.025, Florida Statutes
("DSL Approved Value"). The determination of the DSL Approved Value and the Final Adjusted Purchase Price can
only be made after the completion and DSL's approval of the survey required in paragraph 6.
3.13. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE,. If,prior to closing,DSL determines that the Initial Purchase Price
exceeds the DSL Approved Value of the Property,the Initial Purchase Price will be reduced to the DSL Approved
Value of the Property (herein the"Final Adjusted Purchase Price"). If the Final Adjusted Purchase Price is less than
95%of the Initial Purchase Price because of the adjustment provided for in this paragraph,Seller shall,in Seller's sole
discretion, have the right to terminate this Agreement and neither party shall have any further obligations under this
Agreement. If Seller elects to terminate this Agreement,Seller shall provide written notice to DSL of Seller's election
to terminate this Agreement within 10 days after Seller's receipt of written notice from DSL of the Final Adjusted
Purchase Price. If Seller fails to give Buyer a written notice of termination within the aforesaid time period from
receipt of DSL's written notice, then Seller shall be deemed to have waived any right to terminate this Agreement
based upon a reduction in the Initial Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph 3.13. The Final
Adjusted Purchase Price as calculated in this paragraph 3.13. is subject to further adjustment in accordance with the
BLA No.: 328888—MCLA/Sakowski l
PROJECT AREA: Florida Keys Ecosystem
1301
provisions of this Agreement. The Initial Purchase Price and the Final Adjusted Purchase Price, whichever is
applicable depending on whether or not an adjustment has occurred under the provisions of this paragraph 3.B. are
hereinafter referred to as the"Purchase Price".
4. ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT. Buyer, prior to the exercise of the option and at its sole cost
and expense,may conduct an environmental site assessment of the Property to determine the existence and extent,if
any,of any Hazardous Materials on the Property. If further investigations,testing,monitoring or environmental site
assessments are required by DSL to determine the existence or extent of Hazardous Materials on the Property,Buyer,
at its sole option may elect to extend the Option Expiration Date to conduct such procedures at the Buyer's sole cost
and expense. For purposes of this Agreement "Hazardous Materials" shall mean any hazardous or toxic substance,
material or waste of any kind or any other substance which is regulated by any Environmental Law (as hereinafter
defined in paragraph 5).
5. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. If the environmental site assessment provided for in paragraph 4 confirms
the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Property,Buyer,at its sole option,may elect to terminate this Agreement
and neither party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement. Should Buyer elect not to terminate this
Agreement, Seller shall,at Seller's sole cost and expense and prior to the exercise of the option and closing, promptly
commence and diligently pursue any assessment, clean up and monitoring of the Property necessary to bring the
Property into full compliance with Environmental Law to DSL's satisfaction in its sole discretion, "Environmental

orders, decrees, pen-nits, concessions, grants, franchises, licenses, agreements and other governmental restrictions
relating to the protection of the environment or human health,welfare or safety,or to the emission,discharge,seepage,

Seller may elect to terminate this Agreement and neither party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement.
If Hazardous Materials placed on the Property prior to closing are discovered after closing, Seller shall remain
obligated hereunder, with such obligation to survive the closing, delivery, and recording of the deed described in
paragraph 9 of this Agreement and Buyer's possession of the Property, to diligently pursue and accomplish the clean
up of Hazardous Materials in a manner consistent with all applicable Environmental Laws and at Seller's sole cost and
expense.

professional surveyor and mapper licensed by the State of Florida,shows any reduction in acreage from the appraised
acreage to the surveyed acreage, any encroachment on the Property or that improvements intended to be located on

7. TITLE INSURANCE. Buyer may provide a marketable title insurance commitment,to be followed by an

8. DEFEC-T'S"IN TI-'EL..E If the title insurance commitment or Survey furnished pursuant to this Agreement
discloses any defects in title which are not acceptable to Buyer, Seller shall,within 90 days after notice from Buyer,
remove said defects in title. Seller agrees to use diligent effort to correct the defects in title within the time provided
therefor,including the bringing of necessary suits. Defects arising from liens against the Property shall be satisfied at
closing from Seller's proceeds. If Seller is unsuccessful in removing the title defects within said time, Buyer shall
have the option to either:(a)accept the title as it then is with a reduction in the Purchase Price by an amount determined
by DSL,(b)accept the title as it then is with no reduction in the Purchase Price,(c)extend the amount of time Seller
has to remove the defects in title,(d)cut out the affected portion of the Property and reduce the Purchase Price by an
amount equal to the product of the Purchase Price per acre for the acres being cut out,multiplied by the acreage cut
