corporation.&#160;&#160;The following summary is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the complete text of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the
"FBCA"), the Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, and
the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws.</font></div>
    <div style="DISPLAY: block; TEXT-INDENT: 0pt"><br></div>
    <div style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0.2pt" align="justify"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman"><font id="TAB1" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt"></font>Under Section 607.0850(1) of the FBCA,
a corporation may indemnify any of its directors and officers against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding (including any appeal thereof) (i) 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, and (ii) with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause
to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.&#160;&#160;In actions brought by or
in the right of the corporation, however, Section 607.0850(2) provides that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which the director or officer 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.&#160;&#160;Section 607.0850(6)
provides that 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 the proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the officer or
director to repay such amount if he or she is ultimately found not to be
entitled to indemnification.&#160;&#160;Article X of the Registrant&#8217;s Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation requires that, if in the judgment of the
majority of the Board of Directors (excluding from such majority any director
under consideration for indemnification) the criteria set forth under Section
607.0850 have been met, then the Registrant shall indemnify any officer or
director, or former officer or director, his personal representatives, devisees
or heirs, in the manner and to the extent contemplated by Section 607.0850 of
the FBCA (formerly Section 607.014 of the Florida General Corporation
Act).&#160;&#160;&#160;Article VI of the Registrant&#8217;s Amended and Restated
Bylaws provides that indemnification is available to directors and officers only
if the person to be indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.&#160;&#160;The
Registrant will have no obligation to provide indemnification until a
determination has been made that the appropriate standard of conduct has been
met and that indemnification is not prohibited by relevant law.&#160;&#160;With
respect to proceedings brought by or in the right of the Registrant, no
indemnification shall be made if the officer or director is adjudged to be
liable unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the
case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification.&#160;&#160;The Registrant&#8217;s Amended and Restated Bylaws also
state that the rights to indemnification are binding contract rights which are
binding on the Registrant with respect to any conduct that takes place while the
provision remains in place, even if the provision is later amended, and that the
rights continue as to a person who has ceased to be an officer or
director.&#160;&#160;Expenses, including reasonable attorneys&#8217; fees and court
costs, incurred by a director or officer in defending a proceeding for which
indemnification is provided will be paid by the Registrant in advance of the
final disposition of such proceeding provided that the director or officer
represents that he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct in relation
to the proceeding and will repay such amount if he or she is ultimately found
not to be entitled to indemnification.</font></div>

defense, settlement or appeal) actually and reasonably incurred by the
Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such proceeding, if he or
she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she&#160;&#160;reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
his or her conduct was unlawful.&#160;&#160;The termination of any action, suit
or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that an
Indemnitee 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 Registrant, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.&#160;&#160;Unless a determination
has been made that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to
the agreement, all reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of such
Indemnitee shall be advanced from time to time by the Registrant to the
Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after the Registrant's receipt of a written
request for an advance of expenses by such Indemnitee, whether prior to or after
final disposition of a proceeding.&#160;&#160;If required by law, Indemnitee
shall agree, at the time of such advance, to repay the amounts advanced if it is
ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under

be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, 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.&#160;&#160;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 Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></div>

4.  Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item
5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item
6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is a Florida
corporation.  The following summary is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the complete text of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the
"FBCA"), the Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, and
the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws.
Under Section 607.0850(1) of the FBCA,
a corporation may indemnify any of its directors and officers against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding (including any appeal thereof) (i) 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, and (ii) with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause
to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.  In actions brought by or
in the right of the corporation, however, Section 607.0850(2) provides that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which the director or officer 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(6)
provides that 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 the proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the officer or
director to repay such amount if he or she is ultimately found not to be
entitled to indemnification.  Article X of the Registrant's Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation requires that, if in the judgment of the
majority of the Board of Directors (excluding from such majority any director
under consideration for indemnification) the criteria set forth under Section
607.0850 have been met, then the Registrant shall indemnify any officer or
director, or former officer or director, his personal representatives, devisees
or heirs, in the manner and to the extent contemplated by Section 607.0850 of
the FBCA (formerly Section 607.014 of the Florida General Corporation
Act).   Article VI of the Registrant's Amended and Restated
Bylaws provides that indemnification is available to directors and officers only
if the person to be indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.  The
Registrant will have no obligation to provide indemnification until a
determination has been made that the appropriate standard of conduct has been
met and that indemnification is not prohibited by relevant law.  With
respect to proceedings brought by or in the right of the Registrant, no
indemnification shall be made if the officer or director is adjudged to be
liable unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the
case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification.  The Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws also
state that the rights to indemnification are binding contract rights which are
binding on the Registrant with respect to any conduct that takes place while the
provision remains in place, even if the provision is later amended, and that the
rights continue as to a person who has ceased to be an officer or
director.  Expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court
costs, incurred by a director or officer in defending a proceeding for which
indemnification is provided will be paid by the Registrant in advance of the
final disposition of such proceeding provided that the director or officer
represents that he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct in relation
to the proceeding and will repay such amount if he or she is ultimately found
not to be entitled to indemnification.

The Registrant has purchased insurance
to insure (i) the Registrant's directors and officers against damages from
actions and claims incurred in the course of their duties, and (ii) the
Registrant against expenses incurred in defending lawsuits arising from certain
alleged acts of its directors and officers.
The Registrant has entered into
indemnification agreements with each of its directors and its Executive Vice
President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer
("Indemnitees").  Pursuant to such agreements,  the
Registrant  shall indemnify each Indemnitee whenever he or she is or
was a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any  proceeding,  including  without  limitation
any such proceeding brought by or in the right of the Registrant, because he or
she is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or is or was serving at
the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of another
corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, or because of anything  done or not done by the Indemnitee
in such capacity, against expenses
and  liabilities  (including the costs of any investigation,
defense, settlement or appeal) actually and reasonably incurred by the
Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such proceeding, 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 Registrant, 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 action, suit
or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that an
Indemnitee 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 Registrant, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.  Unless a determination
has been made that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to
the agreement, all reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of such
Indemnitee shall be advanced from time to time by the Registrant to the
Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after the Registrant's receipt of a written
request for an advance of expenses by such Indemnitee, whether prior to or after
final disposition of a proceeding.  If required by law, Indemnitee
shall agree, at the time of such advance, to repay the amounts advanced if it is
ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under
the terms of the agreement. Any advances made shall be unsecured and no interest
shall be charged thereon.

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 of 1933;
(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;
(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 paragraph (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange
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.
II-3
(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 the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities
Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The
undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of
the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless
of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the
securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the
purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
i.
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
      Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
      424;
ii.
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared
      by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by
      the undersigned Registrant;
iii.
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to
      the offering containing material information about the undersigned
      Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned
      Registrant; and
iv.
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made
      by the undersigned Registrant to the
  purchaser.
(b)           The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 provisions described in Item 6, 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 Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
