Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         ConMat's charter provides that to the fullest extent permitted by law,

stockholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to ConMat or its
stockholders and that ConMat may, in its by-laws or in any resolution of its
stockholders or directors, undertake to indemnify the officers and directors of
ConMat against any contingency or peril as may be determined to be in the best
interests of ConMat, and in conjunction therewith, to procure, at ConMat's
expense, policies of insurance. Florida law, under which ConMat is incorporated,
allows a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers if such director or
officer acted in good faith and in a manner such director or officer 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

25               Powers of Attorney (contained on signature page)

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) ConMat 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 this 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 this
                      registration statement;

              (iii)   To include any material information with respect to the
                      plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
                      registration statement or any material change to such
                      information in this registration statement; provided,
                      however, that paragraphs (a) (1)(i) and (a) (1)(ii) do not
                      apply if 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 ConMat pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
                      the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
                      this 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.




<PAGE>

         (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of ConMat's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of ConMat
pursuant to its Article of Incorporation, its bylaws, or otherwise, ConMat 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 ConMat of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ConMat 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, ConMat
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 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 4. Description of Securities.

         Not applicable.

Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         ConMat's charter provides that to the fullest extent permitted by law,
no director or officer of ConMat shall be personally liable to ConMat or its
stockholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to ConMat or its
stockholders and that ConMat may, in its by-laws or in any resolution of its
stockholders or directors, undertake to indemnify the officers and directors of
ConMat against any contingency or peril as may be determined to be in the best
interests of ConMat, and in conjunction therewith, to procure, at ConMat's
expense, policies of insurance. Florida law, under which ConMat is incorporated,
allows a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers if such director or
officer acted in good faith and in a manner such director or officer 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 conduct was unlawful. ConMat maintains a director and officer liability
insurance policy covering each of ConMat's directors and executive
officers.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) ConMat 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 this 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 this
                      registration statement;

              (iii)   To include any material information with respect to the
                      plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
                      registration statement or any material change to such
                      information in this registration statement; provided,
                      however, that paragraphs (a) (1)(i) and (a) (1)(ii) do not
                      apply if 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 ConMat pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
                      the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
                      this 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.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of ConMat's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of ConMat
pursuant to its Article of Incorporation, its bylaws, or otherwise, ConMat 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 ConMat of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ConMat 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, ConMat
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 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.
