Item 4.  Description of Securities.

         Not Applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not Applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company shall
indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the
General Corporation Law of the State of Florida as now or hereafter in force,
including the advance of expenses and reasonable counsel fees.

         Section 93 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (Florida Statutes
Section 607.0850) provides that a director, officer, agent and employee of a
corporation or its subsidiaries or other affiliates may be indemnified under
certain conditions by the corporation against expenses, including attorney's
fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, to which he becomes a party because he was such
director, officer, agent or employee, including expenses reasonably incurred in
settlement of any of the aforesaid matters, if the board of directors by a
majority vote of a quorum



                                       3
<PAGE>   4

consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding determine that
the person seeking indemnification acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation.

         Section 607.0850 also provides that the indemnification provided
pursuant to above provisions are not exclusive, and a corporation may make any
other further indemnification of any of its directors, officers, employees, or
agents, under any by-laws, agreements, vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office. However, indemnification
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 actions, or
omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and
constitute:

         (a)      A violation of the criminal law, unless the director, officer,
                  employee, or agent had reasonable cause to believe his conduct
                  was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
                  was unlawful;

         (b)      A transaction from which the director, officer, employee or
                  agent derived an improper personal benefit;

         (c)      In the case of a director, a circumstance under which certain
                  liability provisions relating to the payment of dividends and
                  asset distributions are applicable; or

         (d)      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 Company has also entered into an Indemnification Agreement with
each of its directors and executive officers whereby the Company has the
affirmative obligation to indemnify such directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by law including the cost of enforcing the Indemnity Agreement.
In addition, the Company carries directors and officers liability insurance.

Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors and officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the provisions referred to in Item 6 of this
Registration Statement or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim against the Company for indemnification against such
liability (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by
a director or officer of the Company in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by a director or officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Company 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 of whether or not
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Company 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; and

                           (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 the registrant need not file a post-effective amendment
                  to include the information required to be included by
                  subsection (i) or (ii) if the information is contained in
                  periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section
                  13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
                  which 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.



                                       7
<PAGE>   8

                  (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 the purpose 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 Securities
         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) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or
         cause to be delivered with the prospectus to each employee to whom the

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

         Not Applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not Applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company shall
indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the
General Corporation Law of the State of Florida as now or hereafter in force,
including the advance of expenses and reasonable counsel fees.

         Section 93 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (Florida Statutes
Section 607.0850) provides that a director, officer, agent and employee of a
corporation or its subsidiaries or other affiliates may be indemnified under
certain conditions by the corporation against expenses, including attorney's
fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, to which he becomes a party because he was such
director, officer, agent or employee, including expenses reasonably incurred in
settlement of any of the aforesaid matters, if the board of directors by a
majority vote of a quorum

                                       3
4

consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding determine that
the person seeking indemnification acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation.

         Section 607.0850 also provides that the indemnification provided
pursuant to above provisions are not exclusive, and a corporation may make any
other further indemnification of any of its directors, officers, employees, or
agents, under any by-laws, agreements, vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office. However, indemnification
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 actions, or
omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and
constitute:

         (a)      A violation of the criminal law, unless the director, officer,
                  employee, or agent had reasonable cause to believe his conduct
                  was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
                  was unlawful;

         (b)      A transaction from which the director, officer, employee or
                  agent derived an improper personal benefit;

         (c)      In the case of a director, a circumstance under which certain
                  liability provisions relating to the payment of dividends and
                  asset distributions are applicable; or

         (d)      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 Company has also entered into an Indemnification Agreement with
each of its directors and executive officers whereby the Company has the
affirmative obligation to indemnify such directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by law including the cost of enforcing the Indemnity Agreement.
In addition, the Company carries directors and officers liability insurance.

Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors and officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the provisions referred to in Item 6 of this
Registration Statement or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim against the Company for indemnification against such
liability (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by
a director or officer of the Company in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by a director or officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Company 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 of whether or not
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Company 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; and

                           (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 the registrant need not file a post-effective amendment
                  to include the information required to be included by
                  subsection (i) or (ii) if the information is contained in
                  periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section
                  13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
                  which 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.

                                       7

                  (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 the purpose 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 Securities
         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) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or
         cause to be delivered with the prospectus to each employee to whom the
         prospectus is sent or given a copy of the registrant's annual report to
         stockholders for its last fiscal year, unless such employee otherwise
         has received a copy of such report, in which case the registrant shall
         state in the prospectus that it will promptly furnish, without charge,
         a copy of such report on written request of the employee. If the last
         fiscal year of the registrant has ended within 120 days prior to the
         use of the prospectus, the annual report of the registrant for the
         preceding fiscal year may be so delivered, but within such 120 day
         period the annual report for the last fiscal year will be furnished to
         each such employee.

                  (6) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to transmit
         or cause to be transmitted to all employees participating in the plan
         who do not otherwise receive such material as stockholders of the
         registrant, at the time and in the manner such material is sent to its
         stockholders, copies of all reports, proxy statements and other
         communications distributed to its stockholders generally.
