WHEREAS, the government now seeks to vacate the previously entered Preliminary Order only as to the St. James Property, due to the negative equity in that asset;

NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED, by and between the United States and the Defendant as follows:

1. The Defendant shall forfeit to the United States the full amount of the Forfeiture Money Judgment and all right, title and interest in the Forfeited Assets, except for the St. James Property, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C), 21 U.S.C. § 853(p) and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c). The value of the Forfeited Assets shall not be credited towards payment of the Forfeiture Money Judgment.

3. The Preliminary Order is hereby vacated only as the St. James Property.

4. The Defendant has represented that he has fully disclosed all of his assets to the United States in the United States Department of Justice Financial Statement (the "Financial Statement"). If the Defendant has failed to disclose to the government any assets in which he has any interest in (the "undisclosed assets"), the United States shall forfeit all such undisclosed assets, if any, up to the amount of the Forfeiture Money Judgment.

5. If any payments due to be made towards the Forfeiture Money Judgment are not made by the Due Date, the United States may seek to enforce this Order against any other assets, real or personal, of the Defendant up to the value of the Forfeiture Money Judgment pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(p), the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act, or any other applicable law. The Defendant shall fully assist the government in effectuating the payment of the Forfeiture Money Judgment. The Defendant shall not file or interpose any claim or assist others to file or interpose any claim to any property against which the government seeks to execute the Forfeiture Money Judgment in any administrative or judicial proceeding. The defendant agrees that the entry and payment of the Forfeiture Money Judgment are not to be considered a payment of a fine, penalty, restitution loss amount, or a payment on any income taxes that may be due, and shall not be discharged in any bankruptcy proceeding.

6. The Defendant knowingly and voluntarily waives his right to any required notice concerning the entry and payment of the Forfeiture Money Judgment and the Forfeited Assets, including notice set forth in an indictment or information. In addition, the Defendant knowingly and voluntarily waives his right, if any, to a jury trial on the entry and payment of the Forfeiture Money Judgment and waives all constitutional, legal and equitable defenses to the entry and payment of the Forfeiture Money Judgment and the Forfeited Assets, including, but not limited to, any defenses based on principles of double jeopardy, the Ex Post Facto clause of the Constitution, the statute of limitations, venue, or any defense under the Eighth Amendment, including a claim of excessive fines.

7. Upon entry of this Order, the United States Attorney General, or her designee, is authorized to conduct any proper discovery, in accordance with Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(3) and (c).

8. The terms contained herein shall be final and binding only upon the Court's "so ordering" of this order.

9. Pursuant to the Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(4)(A) and (B), this Amended Order of Forfeiture shall become final as to the Defendant at the time of his sentence, and shall be made part of the sentence and included in the judgment. This Amended Order shall become the Final Order of Forfeiture, as provided by Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(c)(2).

10. This Order shall be binding upon the Defendant and the successors, administrators, heirs, assigns, and transferees of the Defendant, and shall survive the bankruptcy of any of them.

11. The Court shall retain jurisdiction of this action to ensure compliance with the terms of this Order of Forfeiture, and to amend it as necessary, pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(e).
