to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding,
in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to
conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such
proceeding, including any appeal thereof. Such indemnification shall be authorized if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this
subsection in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such proceeding was
brought, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

proceeding referred to in subsection (1)&nbsp;or subsection (2), or in defense of any proceeding
referred to in subsection (1)&nbsp;or subsection (2), or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter
therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or
her in connection therewith; (ii)&nbsp;indemnification provided pursuant to Section&nbsp;607.0850 is not
exclusive; and (iii)&nbsp;the corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted
against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her
status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against
such liabilities under Section&nbsp;607.0850.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section&nbsp;607.0850(7) of the FBCA provides that indemnification or
advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any director, officer, employee or
agent if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that his or her actions, or omissions
to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute: (i)&nbsp;a violation of the
criminal law, unless the director, officer employee or agent had reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (ii)
a transaction from which the director, officer, employee or agent derived an improper personal
benefit; (iii)&nbsp;in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the liability provisions
regarding unlawful distributions are applicable; or (iv)&nbsp;willful misconduct or a conscious
disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a
shareholder.

the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director; and (ii)&nbsp;the director&#146;s
breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constitutes: (A)&nbsp;a violation of criminal law, unless
the director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable

foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
a 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the

Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Florida Business Corporation Act
. Section 607.0850(1) of the Florida Business Corporation Act,
referred to as the FBCA, provides that a Florida corporation, such as the Registrant, shall have
the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by,
or in the right of, the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or
2
Table of Contents
other enterprise against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any
appeal thereof, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 607.0850(2) of the FBCA provides that a Florida corporation shall have the power to
indemnify any person, who was or is a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation
to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding,
in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to
conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such
proceeding, including any appeal thereof. Such indemnification shall be authorized if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this
subsection in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such proceeding was
brought, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
Section 607.0850 of the FBCA further provides that: (i) to the extent that a director, officer,
employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
proceeding referred to in subsection (1) or subsection (2), or in defense of any proceeding
referred to in subsection (1) or subsection (2), or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter
therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or
her in connection therewith; (ii) indemnification provided pursuant to Section 607.0850 is not
exclusive; and (iii) the corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted
against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her
status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against
such liabilities under Section 607.0850.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 607.0850(7) of the FBCA provides that indemnification or
advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any director, officer, employee or
agent if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that his or her actions, or omissions
to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute: (i) a violation of the
criminal law, unless the director, officer employee or agent had reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (ii)
a transaction from which the director, officer, employee or agent derived an improper personal
benefit; (iii) in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the liability provisions
regarding unlawful distributions are applicable; or (iv) willful misconduct or a conscious
disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a
shareholder.
Section 607.0831 of the FBCA provides that a director of a Florida corporation is not personally
liable for monetary damages to the corporation or any other person for any statement, vote,
decision, or failure to act, regarding corporate management or policy, by a director, unless: (i)
the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director; and (ii) the director's
breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constitutes: (A) a violation of criminal law, unless
the director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; (B) a transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit, either directly or indirectly; (C) a circumstance under which the
liability provisions regarding unlawful distributions are applicable; (D) in a proceeding by or in
the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the right of a
shareholder, conscious disregard for the best interest of the corporation, or willful misconduct;
or (E) in a proceeding by or in the right of someone other than the corporation or a shareholder,
recklessness or an act or omission which was committed in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in
a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property.
Bylaws
. GEO's bylaws provide that GEO shall indemnify every person who was or is a party or is or
was threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative by reason of the fact he is or was a director, officer, employee,
or agent, or is or was serving at the request of GEO as a director, officer, employee, agent or
trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
3

trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding (except in such cases involving gross negligence or
willful misconduct), in the performance of their duties to the full extent permitted by applicable
law. Such indemnification may, in the discretion of GEO's board of directors, include advances of
his expenses in advance of final disposition subject to the provisions of applicable law. GEO's
bylaws further provide that such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any right to
which any director, officer, employee, agent or controlling shareholder of GEO may be entitled as a
matter of law.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment ` to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) will not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
4
Table of Contents
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
