<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 3%">Every person now or hereafter serving as director, officer or employee of the Corporation
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation from and against any and all
loss, cost, liability and expense that may be imposed upon or incurred by him in
connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding, in which he may
become involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of his being or having been a
director, officer or employee of the Corporation, whether or not he continued to be such
at the time such loss, cost, liability or expense shall have been imposed or incurred,
except with regard to matters as to which any such director, officer or employee shall be
adjudged in any claim, action, suit or proceeding to be liable for his own gross
negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of duty. Expenses (including
attorney&#146;s fees) incurred in defending any such claim, action, suit or proceeding may be
paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such a proceeding.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the &#147;FBCA&#148;) authorizes a Florida
corporation 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, had 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 the case of proceedings brought by or in the right of the corporation, Section&nbsp;607.0850 of
the FBCA authorizes a Florida corporation 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 hereunder 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 align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the employment agreement between the Registrant and John A. Stone, its Chief
Financial Officer, the Registrant has agreed to indemnify Mr.&nbsp;Stone against and in respect of any
and all losses arising out of or relating to the performance of Mr.&nbsp;Stone&#146;s services. However, the
Registrant will not indemnify Mr.&nbsp;Stone for losses resulting from his gross negligence, willful
misconduct, violation of law, or breach of the employment agreement.

its director, and N. Nick Cretan and Alan Reed, its former directors, all members of a special
committee of the Registrant&#146;s Board of Directors formed in response to Sellers Capital, LLC&#146;s
consent solicitation. The agreements provide that the Registrant will indemnify each indemnitee to
the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, contain expense advancement and reimbursement
provisions, and require the Registrant to maintain directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance
(&#147;D&#038;O Insurance&#148;), subject to certain limitations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant maintains D&#038;O insurance for all of its directors and officers. The D&#038;O

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Article X of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provides as follows:
INDEMNIFICATION
Every person now or hereafter serving as director, officer or employee of the Corporation
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation from and against any and all
loss, cost, liability and expense that may be imposed upon or incurred by him in
connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding, in which he may
become involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of his being or having been a
director, officer or employee of the Corporation, whether or not he continued to be such
at the time such loss, cost, liability or expense shall have been imposed or incurred,
except with regard to matters as to which any such director, officer or employee shall be
adjudged in any claim, action, suit or proceeding to be liable for his own gross
negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of duty. Expenses (including
attorney's fees) incurred in defending any such claim, action, suit or proceeding may be
paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such a proceeding.
Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the "FBCA") authorizes a Florida
corporation 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, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
In the case of proceedings brought by or in the right of the corporation, Section 607.0850 of
the FBCA authorizes a Florida corporation 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 hereunder 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 provides that 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 to which he or she is a party 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, 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 with the proceeding.
Section 607.0831 of the FBCA limits directors' personal liability to the corporation or any
other person for monetary damages for any statement, vote, decision, or failure to act, regarding
corporate management or policy, by a director, unless (a) the director breached or failed to
perform his or her duties as a director, and (b) 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 lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe that 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 of the FBCA,
relating to 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.
Pursuant to the employment agreement between the Registrant and John A. Stone, its Chief
Financial Officer, the Registrant has agreed to indemnify Mr. Stone against and in respect of any
and all losses arising out of or relating to the performance of Mr. Stone's services. However, the
Registrant will not indemnify Mr. Stone for losses resulting from his gross negligence, willful
misconduct, violation of law, or breach of the employment agreement.
In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with Douglas Banker,
its director, and N. Nick Cretan and Alan Reed, its former directors, all members of a special
committee of the Registrant's Board of Directors formed in response to Sellers Capital, LLC's
consent solicitation. The agreements provide that the Registrant will indemnify each indemnitee to
the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, contain expense advancement and reimbursement
provisions, and require the Registrant to maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance
("D&O Insurance"), subject to certain limitations.
The Registrant maintains D&O insurance for all of its directors and officers. The D&O
Insurance also insures the Registrant against amounts payable to indemnify directors and officers,
subject to policy limits and retention amounts.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.

ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.
The Exhibits to this Registration Statement are listed in the Exhibit Index hereto, and are
hereby incorporated herein by reference.
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 no 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-8, and 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 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 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.

Table of Contents
(h) 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 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.
