ITEM 6.           INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Florida Business Corporation Act, as amended (the "Florida Act"),
provides that, in general, a business corporation may indemnify any person who
is or was 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
or officer of the corporation, against liability incurred in connection with
such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, provided certain standards are
met, including that such officer or director 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 provided further that, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful.

         In the case of proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, the
Florida Act provides that, in general, a corporation may indemnify any person
who was or is a party to any such proceeding by reason of the fact that he or
she is or was a director of officer of the corporation against expenses and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonable incurred in connection with
the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof,
provided that 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 in respect of any
claim as to which such person is adjudged liable unless


                                      II-1

<PAGE>

a court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that such person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. To the extent that any officers
or directors are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any of
the proceedings described above, the Florida Act provides that the corporation
is required to indemnify such officers or directors against expenses actually
and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. However, the Florida Act
further provides that, in general, indemnification or advancement of expenses
shall not be made to or on behalf of any officer or director 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 or officer had reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to
believe it was unlawful; (ii) a transaction from which the director or officer
derived an improper personal benefit; (iii) in the case of a director, a
circumstance under which the director has voted for or assented to a
distribution made in violation of the Florida Act or the corporation's articles
of incorporation; 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.

     FNB's Articles of Incorporation provide that FNB shall indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law in connection with
any actual or threatened action, suit or proceedings, civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or other (whether brought by or in the right of
FNB or otherwise) arising out of their service to FNB or to another organization
at FNB's request, or because of their positions with FNB. The Articles further
provide that FNB may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any
such director or officer against any liability, cost or expense asserted against
or incurred by him in respect of such service, whether or not FNB would have the
power to indemnify him against such liability by law or under the provisions of
this paragraph.

     FNB's Bylaws provide that to the fullest extent permitted by law, no
director of FNB shall be personally liable for monetary damages for any action
taken, or any failure to take any action.

ITEM 6.           INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Florida Business Corporation Act, as amended (the "Florida Act"),
provides that, in general, a business corporation may indemnify any person who
is or was 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
or officer of the corporation, against liability incurred in connection with
such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, provided certain standards are
met, including that such officer or director 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 provided further that, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful.

         In the case of proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, the
Florida Act provides that, in general, a corporation may indemnify any person
who was or is a party to any such proceeding by reason of the fact that he or
she is or was a director of officer of the corporation against expenses and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonable incurred in connection with
the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof,
provided that 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 in respect of any
claim as to which such person is adjudged liable unless

                                      II-1
a court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that such person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. To the extent that any officers
or directors are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any of
the proceedings described above, the Florida Act provides that the corporation
is required to indemnify such officers or directors against expenses actually
and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. However, the Florida Act
further provides that, in general, indemnification or advancement of expenses
shall not be made to or on behalf of any officer or director 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 or officer had reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to
believe it was unlawful; (ii) a transaction from which the director or officer
derived an improper personal benefit; (iii) in the case of a director, a
circumstance under which the director has voted for or assented to a
distribution made in violation of the Florida Act or the corporation's articles
of incorporation; 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.

     FNB's Articles of Incorporation provide that FNB shall indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law in connection with
any actual or threatened action, suit or proceedings, civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or other (whether brought by or in the right of
FNB or otherwise) arising out of their service to FNB or to another organization
at FNB's request, or because of their positions with FNB. The Articles further
provide that FNB may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any
such director or officer against any liability, cost or expense asserted against
or incurred by him in respect of such service, whether or not FNB would have the
power to indemnify him against such liability by law or under the provisions of
this paragraph.

     FNB's Bylaws provide that to the fullest extent permitted by law, no
director of FNB shall be personally liable for monetary damages for any action
taken, or any failure to take any action.
