All water wells, water, ditches, reservoirs, reservoir sites and dams located on the real estate and all riparian and water rights associated with the property, however established.

If the total sum with interest at the rate prescribed by law due under Paragraph 4 and all costs of this action accruing subsequent to this judgment are not paid prior to the commencement of the sale by the United States Marshal (the "Marshal"), the Marshal is ordered and directed to sell the property at public sale. 7. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 69, the procedures for sale shall be in accordance with the practice and procedure in the State of Florida as provided in Chapter 45, Florida Statutes (2010) except that title shall vest in the purchaser pursuant to a United States Marshal's Deed issued after confirmation of any sale by this Court. 8. The Marshal shall advertise the sale of the subject property in accordance with 28 U.S.C. §§ 2001-2002, and after giving proper notice, conduct the sale of the property at the Bay County Courthouse at Panama City, Florida. 9. Plaintiff is authorized to bid at the sale and any bid by the Plaintiff shall be credited against the indebtedness due the Plaintiff under Paragraph 4 herein. Plaintiff shall advance all subsequent costs of this action and shall be reimbursed for them by the Marshal if Plaintiff is not the purchaser of the property at the sale in accordance with the Order Confirming Sale. If Plaintiff is the purchaser at the sale, the Marshal shall credit Plaintiff's bid with the total sum in Paragraph 4, with interest and costs accruing subsequent to this judgment or such part of it as is necessary to pay the bid in full. If a third party is the purchaser at the sale, 10% of the bid price by certified check or cashier's check shall be paid at the time of the sale with the balance to be paid by certified check or cashier's check to the Marshal within 24 hours after the sale. 10. Upon sale being made, then the Marshal is directed to make a report and accounting of the proceeds realized from the sale, if any, and the bidder, or bidders, at such sale and report the amount of the sale for confirmation. The Marshal shall file the report of sale with the Court no later than fifteen (15) days after the sale. Upon the sale being made, the Marshal shall retain the proceeds thereof until the Order Confirming Sale is entered by the Court. 11. If there are no objections to the sale within ten (10) days, upon the sale being made of the property and confirmed by this Court, the Court shall direct the Marshal to execute a United States Marshal's Deed to the property. At said time, the Defendants and all persons claiming under or against them since the filing of the Notice of Lis Pendens are foreclosed of all estate or claim in the property and the purchaser at the sale shall be let into possession of the property. As set forth herein, the Defendants' right of redemption expires at the time of the judicial sale ordered in this judgment, with the exception of the right of redemption for Defendant, United States of America, Internal Revenue Service, which shall have one hundred twenty days (120 days) from the date of sale to redeem the property under the provisions of 28 U.S.C. §2410. 12. The Marshal shall distribute the proceeds of the sale in accordance with the Order Confirming Sale. 13. On the order confirming sale, the Marshall will execute and deliver the United States Marshal's Deed to the purchaser at the sale. Plaintiff shall prepare the United State's Marshall's Deed. The purchaser at the sale shall pay for and be responsible for affixing to the United States Marshal's Deed any documentary stamps or taxes imposed upon the recordation of the deed. 14. If the subject property is sold at public auction, there may be additional money from the sale after payment of persons who are entitled to be paid from the sale proceeds pursuant to the final judgment of foreclosure. If you are a subordinate lienholder claiming a right to funds remaining after the sale, you must file a claim with the United States Marshal no later than 60 days after the sale. If you fail to file a claim, you will not be entitled to any remaining funds. If you are the property owner, you may claim these funds yourself. You are not required to have a lawyer or any other representation and you do not have to assign your rights to anyone else in order for you to claim any money to which you are entitled. Please check with the United States Marshal within ten (10) days after the sale to see if there is additional money from the foreclosure sale. 15. At any time before the filing of the Marshal's Report of Sale, Defendants may cure the indebtedness adjudicated due herein and prevent a foreclosure sale by paying the amount of monies specified in Paragraph 4, plus the reasonable expenses of proceeding to foreclosure incurred to the time of the tender, including reasonable attorneys' fees of the Plaintiff. Otherwise, there is no right of redemption. 16.
