<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;The Florida Act permits, under certain circumstances, the indemnification of officers,
directors, employees and agents of a corporation with respect to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to
which such person was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of his or her
being an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of, such 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 appeals
thereof; provided, however, that the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and
in a manner that 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 such third-party action by
judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of <I>nolo contendere </I>or its equivalent does
not, of itself, create a presumption that the person (i)&nbsp;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 (ii)&nbsp;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 by or in the right of the corporation, the Florida Act permits for
indemnification of any person by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of, such 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 appeals
thereof; <I>provided, however</I>, that the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and
in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the corporation, except that no indemnification is made where such person is adjudged liable,
unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines 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;To the extent that such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defending against
any such proceeding, the Florida Act provides that he or she shall be indemnified against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, under the Florida Act, expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil
or criminal proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
amount if he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification by the corporation
pursuant to this section. Expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be paid in advance
upon such terms or conditions that the board of directors deems appropriate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our amended and restated bylaws contain indemnification provisions similar to the Florida Act,
and further provide that we may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of our directors,
officers, employees and agents in their capacities as such, or serving at the request of us,
against any liabilities asserted against such persons whether or not we would have the power to
indemnify such persons against such liability under our amended and restated bylaws.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to our directors and officers, or to persons controlling us, pursuant to our amended and restated
bylaws or the Florida Act, we have been informed 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to the authority granted to us by the Florida Act to indemnify our directors,
certain other provisions of the Florida Act have the effect of further limiting the personal
liability of our directors. Pursuant to the Florida Act, a director of a Florida corporation
cannot be held personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or any other person for
any act or failure to act regarding corporate management or policy except in the case of certain
qualifying breaches of the director&#146;s duties.

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.</TD>

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Florida Act permits, under certain circumstances, the indemnification of officers,
directors, employees and agents of a corporation with respect to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to
which such person was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of his or her
being an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of, such 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 appeals
thereof; provided, however, that the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and
in a manner that 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 such third-party action by
judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of
nolo contendere
or its equivalent does
not, of itself, create a presumption that the person (i) 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 (ii) 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 by or in the right of the corporation, the Florida Act permits for
indemnification of any person by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of, such 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 appeals
thereof;
provided, however
, that the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and
in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the corporation, except that no indemnification is made where such person is adjudged liable,
unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines 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.
To the extent that such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defending against
any such proceeding, the Florida Act provides that he or she shall be indemnified against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
Also, under the Florida Act, expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil
or criminal proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
amount if he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification by the corporation
pursuant to this section. Expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be paid in advance
upon such terms or conditions that the board of directors deems appropriate.
Our amended and restated bylaws contain indemnification provisions similar to the Florida Act,
and further provide that we may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of our directors,
officers, employees and agents in their capacities as such, or serving at the request of us,
against any liabilities asserted against such persons whether or not we would have the power to
indemnify such persons against such liability under our amended and restated bylaws.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to our directors and officers, or to persons controlling us, pursuant to our amended and restated
bylaws or the Florida Act, we have been informed 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 addition to the authority granted to us by the Florida Act to indemnify our directors,
certain other provisions of the Florida Act have the effect of further limiting the personal
liability of our directors. Pursuant to the Florida Act, a director of a Florida corporation
cannot be held personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or any other person for
any act or failure to act regarding corporate management or policy except in the case of certain
qualifying breaches of the director's duties.

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% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective 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 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 Securities 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; and
(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 of 1934, 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.
(c)
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 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 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.
