<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;607.0831 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the &#147;FBCA&#148;), a director 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 unless (1)&nbsp;the director
breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director and (2)&nbsp;the director&#146;s breach of, or
failure to perform, those duties constitutes (a)&nbsp;a violation of the criminal law, unless the
director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, (b)&nbsp;a transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit, either directly or indirectly, (c)&nbsp;a
circumstance under which the liability provisions of Section&nbsp;607.0834 are applicable, (d)&nbsp;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)&nbsp;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. A judgment or other final adjudication against a director in any criminal proceeding for
a violation of the criminal law estops that director from contesting the fact that his or her
breach, or failure to perform, constitutes a violation of the criminal law; but does not estop the
director from establishing that he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;607.0850 of the FBCA, a corporation has 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 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
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. The termination of any proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall
not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner
which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has reasonable cause to believe
that his or her conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, under Section&nbsp;607.0850 of the FBCA, a corporation has 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 the person 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;607.0850 of the FBCA, the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
pursuant to Section&nbsp;607.0850 of the FBCA are not exclusive, and a corporation may make any other or
further indemnification or advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees, or
agents, under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise,
both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office. However, 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: (a)&nbsp;a violation of the criminal law, unless the director, officer,
employee or agent had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (b)&nbsp;a
transaction from which the director, officer, employee or agent derived an improper personal
benefit; (c)&nbsp;in the case of a director, a circumstance under which

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 not more than 20
percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of

Securities and Exchange 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.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Section 607.0831 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the "FBCA"), a director 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 unless (1) the director
breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director and (2) the director's breach of, or
failure to perform, those duties constitutes (a) a violation of the criminal law, unless the
director had reasonable cause to believe his or her 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 of Section 607.0834 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. A judgment or other final adjudication against a director in any criminal proceeding for
a violation of the criminal law estops that director from contesting the fact that his or her
breach, or failure to perform, constitutes a violation of the criminal law; but does not estop the
director from establishing that he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Under Section 607.0850 of the FBCA, a corporation has 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 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
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. The termination of any proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall
not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner
which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has reasonable cause to believe
that his or her conduct was unlawful.
In addition, under Section 607.0850 of the FBCA, a corporation has 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 the person 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.
Under Section 607.0850 of the FBCA, the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
pursuant to Section 607.0850 of the FBCA are not exclusive, and a corporation may make any other or
further indemnification or advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees, or
agents, under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise,
both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office. However, 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: (a) a violation of the criminal law, unless the director, officer,
employee or agent had reasonable cause to believe his or her 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
3
Table of Contents
the above liability provisions
of Section 607.0834 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 Third Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant will
indemnify and hold harmless any director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant and its
subsidiaries against all liability and expense to the fullest extent permitted by law currently in
effect or later enacted. The Registrant has also entered into an agreement with each of its
directors and certain executive officers wherein it has agreed to indemnify each of them to the
fullest extend permitted by law.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits
A list of exhibits filed with this Registration Statement is in the Exhibit Index that
immediately precedes such exhibits and is incorporated by reference herein.
Pursuant to Item 8(a), the shares of Common Stock registered hereby will be purchased through
open-market transactions. Therefore, an opinion regarding the legality of the securities is not
required.
Item 9. Undertakings
(a) 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;
(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 not more than 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) do not apply if the Registration
Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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
Securities and Exchange 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.
