<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that we shall
indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(the &#147;DGCL&#148;), each person who is involved in any litigation or other proceeding because such person
is or was our director or officer, against all expense (including attorney&#146;s fees), loss or
liability reasonably incurred or suffered in connection therewith. The Certificate provides that a
director or officer may be paid expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its
final disposition upon receipt by us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the director or officer,
to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is
not entitled to indemnification.</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify any director or officer of the
corporation against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding
brought by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation,
if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if he had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action (i.e.,
one brought by or on behalf of the corporation), indemnification may be made only for expenses,
actually and reasonably incurred by any director or officer in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that
no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought
shall determine that the defendant is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
despite such adjudication of liability.</DIV>

to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for such breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liabilities arising (i)&nbsp;from any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;from acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, or (iv)

to this Registration Statement:</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(i)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(ii)&nbsp;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&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective
Registration Statement;</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(iii)&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously

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&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(2)&nbsp;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.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(4)&nbsp;That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of
1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;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

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.</DIV>

on Form 10-K/A, filed with the Commission on May 5, 2008;
2)
The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended

In addition, all documents filed with the Commission by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement and
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates
that all securities offered hereby have been sold, or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document, which also is
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein, modifies or supersedes such
statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified
or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The legality of the shares of Common Stock registered hereby has been passed upon for the Company
by Akerman Senterfitt, Miami, Florida. As of the date of this Registration Statement, certain
attorneys employed by Akerman Senterfitt beneficially own shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that we shall
indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(the "DGCL"), each person who is involved in any litigation or other proceeding because such person
is or was our director or officer, against all expense (including attorney's fees), loss or
liability reasonably incurred or suffered in connection therewith. The Certificate provides that a
director or officer may be paid expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its
final disposition upon receipt by us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the director or officer,
to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is
not entitled to indemnification.
Section 145 of the DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify any director or officer of the
corporation against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding
brought by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation,
if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if he had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action (i.e.,
one brought by or on behalf of the corporation), indemnification may be made only for expenses,
actually and reasonably incurred by any director or officer in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that
no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought
shall determine that the defendant is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
despite such adjudication of liability.

Table of Contents
Pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the Certificate eliminates the liability of a director
to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for such breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liabilities arising (i) from any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) from acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv)
from any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or
officer of the Company. Under an insurance policy maintained by the Company, the directors and
officers of the Company are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the
policy, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of certain claims, actions, suits
or proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such claims, actions,
suits or proceedings, which may be brought against them by reason of being or having been such
directors or officers.

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, 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.
